Chapter 119 Living in Shulezhai
Changzhou, Zhufu.
The servant who guarded the city gate every day was thinking about the reward he could get, so he spread his legs and ran forward like crazy.
Soon they arrived at Zhu's house, and the servant said breathlessly to the doorman, "Go and tell Miss Biao that the master is back!"
When the doorman received the news, he hurriedly informed the whole mansion.
Not long after, the carefully dressed Lin Qianqian walked out gracefully with her new personal maid Yinping.
Sure enough, not long after, several carriages were seen heading this way from afar.
Lin Qianqian quickly checked her hair and clothes, then put on a gentle and appropriate smile and waited.
The carriage soon stopped in front of the gate of Zhu Mansion, and Lin Qianqian's expectant look had already been seen by Luo Xiaoran in the car.
Through the gap in the curtains, Luo Xiaoran saw Lin Qianqian wearing a pink dress with scattered flowers, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "She's not afraid of the cold."
Then he thought, if Lin Qianqian knew that the person sitting in the carriage was not Zhu Jingxing but her, Luo Xiaoran, I wonder what expression would appear on her delicately made-up face?
Luo Xiaoran smiled mischievously and turned to ask Zhu Qiu:
"Aren't you going to get out of the car?"
Zhu Qiu still spoke in a businesslike tone, not even glancing at Luo Xiaoran:
"Your Excellency is honest and upright, and does not like extravagance, so the Zhu Mansion is not large, but there is still some distance from the gate to the inner house. Miss is not able to move around easily now, so you should just take the carriage and go in!"
Luo Xiaoran could understand Zhu Qiu's cold tone. After all, she had set many "pits" for herself along the way!
Whether it is a big or small defecation, Zhu Qiu is always by her side.
Luo Xiaoran felt embarrassed at first, but later she completely relaxed because they were all women after all.
Then, Luo Xiaoran wanted to take revenge on Zhu Qiu because he "meticulously" drugged her.
Every time after going to the bathroom and Zhu Qiu was setting a trap for her, Luo Xiaoran would tease and ridicule him.
It was obvious at first glance that Zhu Qiu was a servant of the highest rank, and he certainly didn't do this kind of work of setting "pits" often.
Therefore, when digging a "pit" for Luo Xiaoran, he would always hold his breath and only breathe normally after the "pit" was dug.
At this time, Luo Xiaoran was "teasing" her, and she had no time to retaliate.
Just like that, Zhu Qiu's face changed from "wooden" at the beginning (it still had some temperature at that time) to "cold as ice" now.
The timeline goes back to the present.
"Ahem!" Luo Xiaoran coughed twice and said to Zhu Qiu, "Your cousin and I have met once, how about I go down and say hello to her?"
Not surprisingly, Zhu Qiu refused.
"Miss, you should stay in your own yard until the master comes back!"
"Qiu, you mean that if Zhu Jingxing doesn't come back, I have to take that medicine that makes me weak for one more day, right?"
"Yes."
"Then I admit it. I am Zhu Jingshu, your lady. I now order you to stop giving me that medicine."
Zhu Qiu: ...
Lin Qianqian watched the carriage go in through the gate of Zhu Mansion without even a pause for lingering. Her smile was frozen on her face like a mask, and her eyes were cold:
"Yinping, go and ask, isn't your cousin back?" Otherwise, why didn't he get out of the car to see me.
"Yes." After receiving the order, Yinping went around and inquired from various sources.
……
In the bronze mirror, Lin Qianqian's makeup was still neat, and she was looking at her face carefully.
It's delicate but not grand, but as long as you pay attention, makeup can completely make up for this shortcoming.
It's all Jin Manzhi's fault! She says bad things about me in front of a bunch of girls all day long. How abominable!
"Miss." Yinping's voice sounded outside the door.
"Come in, have you found out clearly?" Lin Qianqian asked softly.
Yinping closed the door and after hearing Lin Qianqian's question, she was so scared that she quickly knelt on the ground:
"Miss, spare me! The people in the carriage were taken directly to Shulezhai. It was surrounded by people sent by Miss Zhu Qiu, like an iron barrel. It was impossible to find out any information!"
Lin Qianqian stood up and helped Yinping up, her voice very gentle: "Why are you kneeling? Forget it if you can't find out, it seems that my cousin hasn't come back yet."
At this moment, Yinping cried out in pain: "Miss..."
Only then did Lin Qianqian realize that she had used too much force and her nails dug into Yinping's arm.
Realizing her own misstep, Lin Qianqian slowly ordered, "You step back!"
"Yes."
Yinping stood up, lowered his head and hunched his back and retreated. Before he had gone far, he heard the sound of a teacup falling to the ground in Lin Qianqian's room.
Lin Qianqian in the room had a ferocious look on her face. She smashed three sets of tea sets before she calmed down.
Shulezhai, that was where Zhu Jingshu lived before, and it was also the best courtyard in the entire Zhu Mansion. Even the Sanxingju, owned by Zhu Jingxing, the owner of the Zhu Mansion, was not as big as Shulezhai.
Who is this person? How could he live in Shu Le Zhai on his first day at Zhu Mansion?
No, no, Lin Qianqian shook her head. Her cousin loved Zhu Jingshu so much that he would never let anyone else live in Shu Le Zhai, unless that person was...
Zhu Jingshu is not dead yet!
Lin Qianqian's eyes were red.
……
As the best and largest courtyard in Zhu Mansion, the scenery of Shulezhai is needless to say.
The center is a two-story building, with the second floor for living and the first floor as a reception room.
In front of the small building is a large garden with many flowers and plants, as well as rockery, streams, pavilions and small bridges.
The most eye-catching thing is a thick maple tree beside the stream, with fiery red maple leaves scattered all over the ground, some of which fell directly into the water, frightening the dazed koi and fleeing in a hurry.
There was a swing under the maple tree, and a young lady dressed in a scarlet satin skirt with hundreds of gold butterflies was sitting on it, swinging aimlessly. This person was Luo Xiaoran.
As soon as Luo Xiaoran arrived at Shu Le Zhai, she was carried to the special bathing area. Zhu Qiu watched from the side. Han Shuang cleaned Luo Xiaoran and helped her bathe carefully.
After washing, she had to put on makeup and comb her hair. After going through the whole process, Luo Xiaoran was so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back.
What a sin!
Thinking of this, Luo Xiaoran took two big bites of the pancake in her hand to vent her anger.
Zhu Qiu sent someone to buy the sesame cakes, of course, at Luo Xiaoran's strong request.
It smelled delicious on the street just now, but it didn't taste right. The crust wasn't crispy enough, and the inside wasn't tender enough, Luo Xiaoran thought pickily.
When she arrived at Shu Le Zhai, Zhu Qiu turned into an invisible person, but her surveillance of Luo Xiaoran did not decrease at all.
Firstly, perhaps because they had arrived at the Zhu family’s territory, the medicine was still administered, but in a smaller amount, which made Luo Xiaoran very satisfied.
There were many old women and maids serving in Shu Le Zhai. While Luo Xiaoran was sitting on the swing and eating cakes, more than a dozen people had already walked past her. This was also a kind of invisible surveillance.
There were two guards guarding the front door and the back door respectively, and two teams of guards took turns patrolling outside Shu Le Zhai. When Luo Xiaoran saw this, she was speechless:
So many people were watching her, and they drugged her. Aren't they afraid of poisoning her to death?
Don’t you know that “All medicines are poisonous!”
