“Why did she do that?”
“They don’t want the Lu family to s.n.a.t.c.h Mr. Zhuge away!”
“If that’s the case, that’s too much.”
When Old Madam Wei heard the criticism in the crowd, she was not angered. Instead, she sneered at Madam Lu. “Heh, you went to look for the Empress to propose marriage to Su MO for your daughter. The Empress rejected you, so you turned around and targeted Mr. Zhuge. Why? Is your daughter a princess? Can Lu family can choose all the good men in the world? Is it your turn to be the real princess of the royal family!”
Slap!
This was another huge slap.
d.u.c.h.ess Lu was stunned on the spot.
No one expected there to be such an inside story. In that case, it was reasonable for Mr. Zhuge to reject the marriage.
They looked for Mr Zhuge because they were rejected. Did they think Mr Zhuge was a fool?
From the looks of it, the Lu family was shameless.
After all, Zhuge Qing was a strategist of the Western Jin Dynasty. His reputation in the capital was not obvious, but Su MO was the dream lover of all the women in the capital. How could such a shameless family have designs on Young Master Su?
Pfft!
The Lu family was instantly in trouble.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, Old Madam Wei struck while the iron was hot and exposed the scandal of Fifth Master Liu and Third Master Qin setting a trap for the Li family. Of course, it saved Li Wan from personally looking for the two of them.
“If not for our Wei family being careful, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have been able to trace it to your Lu Public House!”
Everyone pointed at the Lu family again.
“Before Matriarch Li’s corpse turned cold, they already targeted the Li family.
How shameless!”
“How is this shameless? He’s heartless! Just like dogs and wolves!”
“Don’t insult dogs and wolves.”
“Our Wei family can’t be bothered to play with these dirty tricks of your Lu family! I only have one goal today—to seek justice for the Li family! Let those thieves who want to use this method to suppress the Wei family open their eyes and take a look. Not to mention that our Wei family still has a single seedling left, even if there’s none left, it’s not something you cowards can bully!”
With that, Old Madam Wei pointed at the door of Duke Lu’s Estate. “Smash it!”
Madam Lan gently leaped and whipped down the corridor, cutting the plaque of the Lu Public House in half on the spot!
Cheers broke out in the crowd. “Good job!”
Lu Zheng trembled with anger and clenched his fists. “Outrageous! Outrageous! In that case, don’t blame me for being rude! Men! Attack!”
Countless guards surged out of the residence and surrounded Matriarch Wei, Li Wan, Madam Chen, Madam Lan, and Madam Jiang.
Swish!
Matriarch Wei remained motionless. Li Wan, Madam Chen, and the others fought with the guards.
These guards were no match for the women of the Wei family at all and were beaten up.
Lu Zheng glanced coldly and formed a claw with his hand. A hidden weapon landed in his palm.
Swish!
An arrow flew through the air and sent his hidden weapon flying!
Lu Zheng was shocked. He looked up and saw a woman in plain clothes with a veil standing on the high eaves opposite.
Although they were fighting, Li Wan and the others did not kill them, and the guards did not draw their swords.
However, if Lu Zheng wanted to play dirty, she did not mind giving him something real.
Su Xiaoxiao drew her bow a second time and aimed at Lu Zheng’s arm.
Lu Zheng’s eyebrows twitched as a strong sense of danger surged in his heart. He grabbed a guard and blocked in front of him.
Swish!
Su Xiaoxiao shot her arrow.
The arrow pierced through the guard’s armpit and stabbed into Lu Zheng’s right arm with a huge arrow aura. Lu Zheng fell to the ground with a scream.
“Father!”
The Eldest Lu son rushed over with a change in expression. He turned to look at the roof opposite, but there was no one on it.
Su Xiaoxiao was not afraid that the Lu family would report it to the officials or complain to Emperor Jing Xuan. Old Madam Wei had already said that the Wei family was here to fight. They were open and aboveboard, and the surrounding commoners could testify.
As for her, who did not appear, she had the perfect alibi.
“What’s going on? Isn’t there an imperial physician in the palace? Must he invite you over? He even went for so long!’
In the imperial garden, Princess Hui An looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who had been sent back by Little Yunzi, unhappily.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “The Empress Dowager has abdominal pain. It’s indeed inconvenient to invite an imperial physician for such an illness. I performed an acupuncture on the Empress Dowager and made the Princess wait.” Princess Hui An asked proudly, “Are you here for me first, or for Jingning?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’m not with Princess Jingning yet.”
“The letters were sent to Princess Jingning first,” Su Xiaoxiao added in her heart.
Princess Hui An felt relieved and forgave her for treating her halfway. “Where’s my letter?”
“Here.” Su Xiaoxiao took out a thick stack of letters from her bag. “One every ten days, a total of twelve. However, because I miss the princess too much, I wrote five more.”
The last sentence successfully pleased Princess Hui An.
Princess Hui An happily took the letter.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Then, Princess, read the letter first. Shall I greet Princess Jingning?
“Go on!”
Princess Hui An agreed generously.
Su Xiaoxiao went to Kunning Palace.
Princess Jingning had just finished reading the letter. “Your handwriting has improved a lot.”
As expected of a star student. Princess Hui An wouldn’t notice her handwriting. She would only say that her sidekick had written so much for her and must miss her the most.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “I was bored on the way. Wei Ting forced me to practice
calligraphy every day for four months. If he knew that the princess had praised me, he would definitely feel a sense of accomplishment.”
Princess Jingning nodded and said thoughtfully, “No wonder the style in your handwriting looks familiar. I think it follows Master Wei’s handwriting.” Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “No way. You’ve seen Shen Chuan’s handwriting?”
That was true. Shen Chuan was the Top Scorer of Qingzhou and was one of the top students in the directorate. Perhaps Princess Jingning had really read his article.
There was no need to panic. It was not a big problem. When she returned, she would instruct Shen Chuan not to let his calligraphy treasure spread easily.
On the other side, Princess Hui An finished reading the letter and put it away reluctantly. Her sidekick knew how to write letters. There was not a word she did not know. In the future, she would get her sidekick to write to her every day!
“It’s better to be happy about this with someone else around than alone.”
Princess Hui An thought for a moment and proudly took the letter to Jingning to show off..
