Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 991 Suspicious Yao Niang

Lu Mingyu touched her nose and walked out of the corner. Without even looking at Mr. Feng, she turned around and left.

"Sister, wait a minute!" was Mr. Feng's call.

Lu Mingyu gritted his teeth and turned around slowly: "Sir, what's wrong?"

Mr. Feng asked: "What's wrong with Xiao Qian?"

Lu Mingyu said: "She... doesn't want to marry you and dislikes you for being old. In order to persuade her, I had to tell her that you should die soon, and she could easily kill you and inherit everything from you. She thought about it and felt very It made sense, so I nodded and agreed to the marriage.”

Mr. Feng was a little hurt: "So she..."

Are you a fool?

Lu Mingyu nodded: "Her mind is so simple and easy to coax. To win her heart, the only way to win her heart is to give her sincerity. There is no shortcut."

"Sir, a wife is easy to find but true love is rare. As far as Xiao Qian is concerned, you are just someone I have met a few times, not even a close acquaintance. We also know that it is impossible for her to fall in love with you at this time."

Mr. Feng said: "What the eldest sister said is absolutely true, I understand."

Lu Mingyu smiled and turned around to leave. When she thought of that "Brother Che", she couldn't help but shudder. It was really...

Mushy.

After all the medicinal materials were put into storage, Lu Mingyu dragged her tired body back to Prince Qi's Mansion with everyone.

Changsun Tao, who usually returned home after the court, had not come back yet. Lu Mingyu asked the maid to get hot water for a bath, and then after eating some food, he was so tired that he simply went to bed at nightfall without waiting for Changsun Tao to return home. .

At night, Lu Mingyu struggled to turn over, and suddenly someone helped her from behind. When she woke up, she found that it was Chang Sun Tao who was helping her turn over.

Lu Mingyu asked in a daze: "Are you back? What time is it now?"

Changsun Tao said: "It's midnight, let's continue sleeping!"

Lu Mingyu saw that his expression was a little abnormal, so he steeled himself and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Changsun Tao said: "There have been a lot of things recently. None of the people I sent to Izumo came back, and Yao Niang couldn't find anything."

Lu Mingyu said: "Are you worried that there is something wrong with Izumo?"

Changsun Tao nodded: "There should be a big problem, but I can't find any news, and I can't get any useful information from Rihe and his daughter. Everything is different from what we have experienced, which makes me feel uneasy about being out of control." "

Lu Mingyu said: "No matter what happens, let's get some sleep first and recuperate enough to talk about it tomorrow."

Changsun Tao softly said "hmm", lay down behind her, stretched out his arms to wrap her in his arms.

The next day.

Changsun Tao went to court very early.

Lu Mingyu remembered what Chang Sun Tao said last night, and after breakfast, she asked Lu Xi to accompany her to the Gu Mansion.

The people who greeted her were Yao Niang and little Gu Nian. Yao Niang couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw her coming, but little Gu Nian liked her very much. As soon as they met, she shouted: "Greetings to the princess, did the princess come to play with me?"

Lu Mingyu responded softly: "Yes, I also brought you a lot of delicious food. Are you happy?"

Little Gu Nian nodded: "I'm happy, thank you, Princess."

Lu Mingyu patted her head: "As long as you are happy, I will bring it to you next time."

After some pleasantries, Yao Niang handed Gu Nian to the nanny, and then invited Lu Mingyu to the flower hall.

"The princess's belly is much bigger than when I missed my childhood."

Lu Mingyu said: "They should be twins, so they are bigger than usual."

Yao Niang poured a cup of scented tea for her: "Madam, you are inconvenienced. If anything happens, please let me know. There is no need to make this trip."

Lu Mingyu took a sip of tea and said straight to the point: "I came to see you for something very important. Let me ask you, what is the truth about the Gu family's destruction?"

Yao Niang's expression paused, then quickly returned to normal: "Princess, how can I know about something that the court cannot find out?"

Lu Mingyu stared at her, not missing a single expression: "Don't worry, we are safe."

Yao Niang was silent for a while, but didn't say anything: "Princess, it's not that I know about it and don't want to tell you, but I really don't know." As expected, Lu Mingyu asked again: " Are you from Izumo?"

Yao Niang's expression changed slightly and she asked, "Princess, what do you mean? Do you suspect that I am the work of Izumo?"

Lu Mingyu said: "If I wanted to doubt you, I would have arrested you a long time ago. I am just curious about your identity."

Yao Niang stared at the tea cup in her hand: "My identity? What is my identity? If the princess doesn't believe it, you can send someone to my parents to check."

Lu Mingyu smiled and said: "You are really confident... You must have been sure that I can't find out anything, right? Yao Niang, if you don't want to say it, I won't force you. However, once I find out that you have done anything to endanger Da Qin, I will I won’t show mercy.”

Yao Niang smiled sadly: "My deceased husband was a loyal minister, and Ajun also served the country conscientiously. How could I do something that would endanger the Qin Dynasty?"

Lu Mingyu looked away, stood up and said, "It's best this way."

After saying that, Lu Mingyu left, leaving Yao Niang alone, sitting there clenching her fists, unable to recover for a while.

Little Gu Nian was drawing with tree branches in the yard. When she saw Lu Mingyu was about to leave, she raised her head and said reluctantly: "Is the princess leaving so soon?"

Lu Mingyu liked this child very much and couldn't help walking over and patting her on the head again, saying softly: "Well, I have a lot of things to do, so I can't play with Xiao Nian'er. If you miss me, then let you Mom will bring you to Prince Qi’s Mansion to see me, okay?”

Little Gu Nian smiled and said: "Okay! Both my mother and my uncle said that the princess is a good person, and I will go to see the princess!"

Lu Mingyu patted her head gently again, and caught a glimpse of the pattern she drew from the corner of his eye. His eyes suddenly froze, but he still suppressed his emotions and asked with a natural expression: "Nian'er, what are you drawing?"

As if she were offering a treasure, little Gu quietly approached Lu Mingyu's ear and said, "I'm drawing my mother's treasure. This is something my mother always wears. She doesn't show it to others on weekdays. I found it when I was taking a shower."

Lu Mingyu reached out and flicked her nose: "You little clever guy."

After leaving Gu Mansion, Lu Mingyu fell into deep thought.

I don't know if what Gu Nian drew is real or fake, but the pattern is clearly similar to the pendants worn by Xie Yun and Rihe.

Hiyori said that the pendant is a status symbol, a mark of belonging to the mysterious person who controls Izumo.

But is this really the case?
What does the pendant represent?
Does Yao Niang have it?Why does Yao Niang exist?
Lu Mingyu was puzzled by a series of questions.

Lu Xi lowered his voice and asked her, "Miss, do you doubt Yao Niang?"

Lu Mingyu nodded: "I thought something was wrong with Yao Niang before, but then I discovered that she is very similar to Rihe, so I came here to take a look."

Lu Xi said regretfully: "I came here for nothing. I didn't find anything."

"Who said nothing was discovered? The more Yao Niang hides and tucks her away, the more problems she will have." After Lu Mingyu said these few words, she got on the sedan chair.

When the sedan passed by Debao Zhai, she asked the bearer to stop and wanted to ask how the dowry prepared for Xiao Qian was doing.

She was full of thoughts, and as soon as she stepped into the threshold, she suddenly paused, as if she remembered some important clue.

The shopkeeper came to greet him personally and asked diligently: "Master, are you coming to inspect the shop?"

Debao Zhai was a jewelry store given to Lu Mingyu by the Bai family. Now all the profits go to Lu Mingyu, but from the shopkeeper to the clerk, it was Bai Li who arranged it.

Lu Mingyu is like a boss who just works as a cashier, but she doesn't need to spend any energy on running the business.

Lu Mingyu frowned and thought for a while, then said, "I'm here to see if Xiao Qian's head and face are ready, and I want to see Zhang Yuan on the way."

Zhang Yuan was the blacksmith Lu Mingyu and Chang Sun Tao met during their escape. When they continued south, they sent Zhang Yuan and his wife Zhao Xiuer to the Bai family.

Later, Zhang Yuan made great contributions during disaster relief in Yangzhou. The tools he designed not only improved the efficiency of dredging waterways, but also made great progress in Yangzhou's water conservancy.

Emperor Wu of the Yuan Dynasty rewarded him for his merits and granted him a job as a seventh-grade official in the Ministry of Industry, responsible for designing various agricultural tools for the Qin Dynasty.

This time he heard that his benefactor's sister Xiao Qian was getting married, so he took the initiative to go back to Debao Zhai to help make the dowry.

So at this time, he should be in Debao Zhai's workshop.

The shopkeeper replied respectfully: "The jewelry is almost finished. You go to the private room to wait for a moment. Please ask Mr. Zhang to come up to see you."

Lu Mingyu waited for about a cup of tea in the elegant room before Zhang Yuan arrived.
