Chapter 326 Small moves
"When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy tires, we attack..."
Just a few words reveal the secret of marching and fighting!
"I didn't realize you had such an understanding of marching and fighting!"
"I didn't say that. A great man said that. You know, a great man is more powerful than the emperor!"
Lu Shian blurted out the words subconsciously, and only after he said it did he realize that he shouldn't have said it!
The two played on the ice for a while before returning to the village!
When Su Qianqian went to the prince's mansion, Li Hongting was still reading a book. Knowing that his cousin was coming, Li Hongting put down the book in his hand and ordered someone to prepare some snacks that Su Qianqian liked!
"My cousin is in a good mood. He reads books every day. Aren't you tired?"
"It's cold, and I don't want to go out, so I just read a few more books."
"Cousin, you stay at home and read books, but some people like to stay in the snow."
Su Qianqian raised her eyes and glanced at Li Hongting. She seemed to have made up her mind and asked, "Cousin, I want to ask you a few questions. Tell me honestly."
Seeing Su Qianqian being so serious, Li Hongting straightened himself and said, "Go ahead."
"Does my cousin like Lu Shian?"
Li Hongting is such a deep-seated person, how could anyone know anything about him just from this sentence?
"Why would my cousin ask that?"
"I know what kind of character my cousin has. If she didn't have a special place in your heart, you would never bother to bring her to see the Royal Grandmother."
Li Hongting didn't say anything, but Su Qianqian knew that she guessed right.
In fact, she knew more than just this. For example, the farm in the east of the city and the house where Lu Shian lived now all belonged to her cousin.
Since my cousin is willing to spend so much time on this woman, then Lu Shian must hold a special place in Li Hongting's heart.
As for why she didn't tell everything, it was naturally because she knew that the royal family's biggest taboo was knowing too much.
Seeing that Li Hongting did not refute her, she continued.
"Today I came back from outside the city and saw Lu Shian and a man skating on the ice. The two of them were very intimate, and their relationship was probably not ordinary."
As expected, Li Hongting's expression became a little gloomy.
"It's rare for my cousin to be willing to take the trouble for a girl, so I naturally hope that my cousin gets what he wants."
Li Hongting didn't respond. He asked, "Do you want to stay for dinner?"
Su Qianqian knew that she was going to see the guest off, so she stood up with the help of the armchair: "No, my mother is waiting for me to go back."
"Okay, Cheng'an, see Princess Qianqian off."
As soon as Su Qianqian left, Li Hongting immediately called Yongchang.
Yongchang knew that Lu Shian had a special place in his master's heart, so he naturally paid more attention to him, so as to avoid being in trouble if he didn't know the answer to any questions from his master.
Yongchang told his master about how Lu Shian went to the Princess's Mansion to argue with Liu Rulan, and how he and his family fled out of the city to avoid the Yongkang Marquis' Mansion and the Duke's Mansion.
Li Hongting asked again: "Do you know who lives in Lu's house now?"
"The last disciple of the genius doctor is now living in the Lu residence, and has a very good relationship with Miss Shi'an."
"I mean men."
"man……"
Yongchang scratched his head: "There are two servants in the Lu family. Zhang Huai is the son of Aunt Zhang, and the other is a bearded man. Oh, besides the two of them, there is also Shen Cuo!"
"Shen Cuo..."
Yongchang nodded: "There has always been someone secretly protecting the Lu residence. I guess this person is the one who did it."
"It's him." Li Hongting said affirmatively.
Yongchang was stunned: "What?"
"Get ready, tell Lu Shian that I'm going to the palace to see the Empress Dowager, and take her with me."
"Yes, I will go now."
Nanxing stayed in the garden for a few days, and Aunt Zhao couldn't stand it anymore.
"Miss Shi'an, when will Miss Nanxing leave?"
"If she doesn't leave, the garden will be ruined by her."
"I don't know what she fed the chickens in the garden yesterday. They were so excited that they kept calling all day long."
"I went to feed Da Huang again today. Da Huang lay there retching non-stop. I was really worried that Da Huang wouldn't make it. She came in different ways every day. My old bones really couldn't take it."
Lu Shian felt sorry for Aunt Zhao for three seconds: "Aunt Zhao, please bear with it for a while. We will be back in a few days."
"A few days is a few days. I only have so many living things to feed. If she doesn't leave, I'm afraid all my living things will die."
"No, no, hehe, don't worry, Madam Zhao."
Lu Shian said as he took Madam Zhao's hand and led her out of the room: "Madam, the pancakes you made are really delicious. Why don't you make some for us to try today?"
"Hey, I'll do it. Nanxing had better finish her meal and go back."
Nanxing came back from outside excitedly and was met by Aunt Zhao who greeted her warmly.
"Madame Zhao is busy."
Aunt Zhao forced a wry smile: "Yeah."
Principality Palace.
"Okay, okay, she hid outside the city. No wonder we couldn't find her."
Thinking about how she was treated by that little bitch Lu Shian that day, Liu Rulan felt so angry that her teeth were itching.
"Go, call more people to me. I will take revenge today."
"Oh, right, call a few more martial arts masters. I'm going to tear off that bitch's clothes and her tongue in public. I'm also going to break her fingers one by one."
Before the Duchess entered the room, she heard her daughter throwing a tantrum: "Why is your mother so angry?"
"Mom, it turns out that little bitch ran away and hid outside the city. I'm going to take revenge now."
"Don't worry, dear. Last time you brought so many experts with you and suffered losses. This shows that this girl is not someone you can easily mess with. This time, let's do this..."
The Duke's wife whispered something in her daughter's ear. Liu Rulan's eyes lit up after hearing it: "Listen to mother."
"Hehe, she's just a country girl, even if you kill her, your aunt won't say anything."
"Humph, it's not that easy. She made me look bad in public and even hit me. I've never been beaten in my life..."
As Liu Rulan spoke, tears began to flow down her face again.
The Duchy Lady was so distressed when she saw this: "Don't cry, don't cry. Mother will avenge you. My dear, this bastard dared to treat my precious daughter like this. I will make her live a life worse than death."
After living outside the city for some time, Lu Shian and his family felt that there didn't seem to be any special movements in the Duchy and Marquis' Mansions, so they prepared to go back.
In the carriage, Lu Xianchun looked worried.
Lu Shian leaned over to Lu Xianchun and asked, "Sister, are you okay?"
Lu Xianchun shook his head: "I'm fine, it's just..."
She looked at Lu Shian beside her: "The Duke's Mansion is not easy to mess with. You treated Liu Rulan like that, this matter can't just be let go."
"If I don't take action, she will do that to me. No, she will use more terrible means to treat me."
"Well, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, let's keep a low profile recently."
