Chapter 82 The First Suspicious Object (Update )
Originally, Su Liuyue was arranged to ride in the same carriage with Su Rou, but Su Rou pestered Su Liuxue and acted like a good boy and showed weakness, which made Su Liuxue feel comfortable. Finally, Su Rou agreed to let them ride in the same carriage.
Guo originally had a single carriage.
In the end, it became Su Liuyue's own carriage, and Su Liuyue was happy to have some peace and quiet.
On the way to the Princess's Mansion, in Guo's carriage, Madam Lu kept stroking Guo's back and whispered, "Madam, don't be angry. Today is a big day and we still have many important things to do. It's not worth getting angry over a dead girl and affecting what we are going to do next."
Guo gritted her teeth secretly, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said, "If I wasn't afraid of the Xue family's trouble, I would definitely lock that girl up at home and not let her go out! Forget it, you are right, today is not the time to argue with her.
Are you ready for everything I asked you to prepare?"
"Alright, alright, Madam, don't worry, I'll keep everything safe with me!"
Madam Lu patted her waist gently and said mysteriously, "Those things are not easy to find. I asked several people for help before I found them all. Now I have kept them all!"
Guo immediately looked at the spot where Madam Lu had just taken the photo with a pale face, "Did you put that thing on you?"
"Of course not, old slave... no matter how brave I am, I would not dare to keep that thing on me all the time."
Madam Lu said quickly, "I will put the thing in our luggage for the time being. When we get off the bus, I will hide it on my body and bring it inside without telling the guards at the Princess's Mansion.
Once inside, things will be easy. I can find a place to hide the thing first, and then release it when the time comes.
Did Madam tell Sixth Miss what to do? "
"I told you, I see Xue'er is a little scared, which is normal. Every girl would be scared. But if you don't risk it, how can you win over so many noble ladies and win the eldest princess's favor?"
Guo gritted her teeth secretly and said, "I told her that the thing is not poisonous, and she only needs to throw out the sachet I prepared for her a long time ago. As long as people see that she did not abandon her sisters in a critical moment, her reputation will be spread.
The eldest princess likes kind and loyal children the most. No matter what, my Xue'er must be chosen!"
Madam Lu continued, "What about the fourth young lady..."
A trace of disgust flashed across Guo's eyes. "Of course she doesn't know. She still thinks that she will be chosen by the princess? She can just dream on! She thinks that the master and I don't know about the tricks she played in the Zheng family's annulment. It's just that she didn't bother with her because she saw that Zheng Jiulang was willing to marry her. She just wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter.
This time, if she can help my Xueer get chosen by the princess, it will be her atonement for the private things she did before!"
Madam Lu nodded immediately and said with a flattering smile, "Madam is right. If the Sixth Miss can be selected, she will be proud of it. She has no right to care about it."
The carriage soon arrived at the Princess's Mansion.
The Princess's Mansion was the residence of the Lu family, the empress's family of the previous dynasty. After the Lu family fell into decline, it was awarded by the emperor to Princess Changxi.
This mansion covers an area of more than 20 acres. It is magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings inside. There is even a man-made lake in the courtyard, which is full of lotus flowers. In summer, the lake is full of green leaves and red flowers. Every detail shows the luxury of the Lu family's life at that time.
Although they had arrived very early, the entrance was already crowded with carriages of all colors. Led by the servants of the Princess's Mansion, they were in an orderly and methodical manner. While queuing to enter the mansion, Su Liuyue couldn't help but lift the window curtains and look for the servants of the Princess's Mansion.
The most convenient place to observe all the guests is undoubtedly at the front door.
Although Zhou Yunke did not say it explicitly, one of the locations where he arranged their route must be at the gate.
Sure enough, when it was almost their turn, Su Liuyue saw a familiar figure not far away, who was in charge of leading the guests into the Princess's Mansion. With an honest and serious look on his face, who else could it be but Feng Dali!
Su Liuyue was delighted, feeling as if she had met a relative, and quickly gave Feng Dali several glances.
Unfortunately, this silly boy had been working diligently until the Su family's carriage arrived in front of him. Then he turned his head to look at Su Liuyue, and found Su Liuyue who was blinking so hard that he was about to get a cramp.
He was slightly startled, and saw a beautiful woman not far away giving him a surprised smile. He was a little confused at first, and lowered his head, scratching the back of his head as if shyly.
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he raised his head abruptly and looked at Su Liuyue in disbelief.
At this time, Su Liuyue's mouth twitched uncontrollably, thinking that if he still couldn't recognize her, she would laugh at him the next time she returned to Jingzhao Prefecture.
The next moment, Feng Dali had already quickly run to her front. He looked around first, and after making sure that there was no one around who needed attention, he whispered, "Su...Su Xiao...no, Miss Su?!"
My God, apart from the first time when Miss Su brought Mi Li to help Lu Shao Yin investigate a case, this was the second time he had seen Miss Su wearing women's clothes!
But that time when he was with Mi Li, he didn't see Miss Su's face clearly at all.
That's why he didn't recognize Miss Su just now. Miss Su looked so beautiful in women's clothes! She looked like a fairy from a painting!
Su Liuyue looked at his silly look with amusement and whispered, "Well, you've been standing there for so long, have you found anything?"
Which fairy starts her conversation by asking about investigating a case?
Feng Dali finally found some familiar smell from the woman in front of him, and nodded excitedly, saying: "Of course I have found it..."
Before he finished speaking, a loud shout suddenly came from not far away, "You idiot! Didn't I tell you to bring my mother-of-pearl red sandalwood pipa? That's the pipa I'm going to use on stage! Why did you bring the pipa I usually use for practice?"
Everyone's attention was drawn to the voice. Not far away at the gate, a woman wearing a bright orange jacket with embroidered floral patterns, a moon-white tube top, and an orange folded skirt was staring anxiously at a maid next to her.
The maidservant was so frightened that her face turned blue. She subconsciously wanted to kneel down. A middle-aged woman standing next to the woman quickly stopped her with her eyes and whispered, "Yu'er, this is the gate of the Princess's Mansion. No matter how anxious you are, you can't act like this."
"Mother! I'm not kidding!"
The woman was obviously very angry. She stamped her feet fiercely, but she finally calmed down and lowered her voice through gritted teeth, "I can't use the pipa I practice with on the stage! The mother-of-pearl red sandalwood pipa was brought back for me by my second brother specifically for this lotus viewing banquet, and it was destroyed by this idiot!"
Because she was too excited when she spoke, her body suddenly turned towards Su Liuyue and the others, so Su Liuyue clearly saw that there was an obvious small mole at the corner of her right eye!
