Chapter 477 The Heroine's Hateful Concubine's Sister Who Impersonated Her to Receive Credi
"Pearl? The girl is so bright and shining, she really deserves this name."
There was joy in Lu Hua's words.
How could Azhi not know the other person's little thoughts?
But she took two steps back and spoke with a distant tone.
"Sir, you are so flattering. I am just a humble girl, how can I be called as brilliant as you are talking about? You are really embarrassing me. Oh, sir, don't you have something to ask me?"
Seeing that Ah Zhi was a little wary of him, Lu Hua couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
But he quickly adjusted his expression and bowed.
"I do have something to ask, Miss, do you know where the main courtyard of your mansion is? I have never been able to tell east from west and north from south, and I came to your mansion for some personal matters."
Ah Zhi looked at Lu Hua and said with a smile, "I said I had never seen you before. Are you here to see my master? You don't want to be my master's servant, do you? It's just that you look a little old."
The word "old" made Lu Hua's expression a little stiff. The girl in front of him was just young.
Lu Hua is already twenty-four years old, which means he is much older than her.
But he still touched his nose and asked, "How old is the girl?"
This sentence made Ah Zhi glare and said angrily, "What do you care? Who told you to ask about someone's age? How can you just tell a girl's age? You really don't know etiquette."
Facing Ah Zhi's arrogant voice, Lu Hua did not feel angry.
I just felt that the woman in front of me was lively and smart, and I was satisfied even just by listening to her voice.
"Don't blame me, young lady. It was indeed me who was careless."
Ah Zhi rolled his eyes and pointed the way he came.
"Hmph, if you want to go to the main courtyard, take the road on the left. You can see the main courtyard after passing a pavilion. Unlike the other houses, the main courtyard is surrounded by peach trees. If you still don't understand, just ask anyone and you will find out."
Seeing that Ah Zhi was about to turn around and leave after she finished speaking, Lu Hua called her anxiously.
"Miss Pearl, will I be able to see you again in the future?"
Lu Hua has a pair of very gentle eyes. When he stares at you, it seems like he wants to hold you in his heart. Azhi smiled slightly at his gaze.
"I'm at the Li Mansion. If you want to see me, why not go find Miss Jindou in the mansion? She works with me. You can ask her to tell me if there's anything."
Ah Zhi vaguely heard Jindou's voice, and immediately lifted her skirt and ran towards the path next to her, regardless of whether Lu Hua heard it or not.
I originally wanted to say a few more words to Azhi, but I didn't expect that he would run away.
Lu Hua followed and took two steps and shouted, "Girl!"
It’s a pity that Azhi was very familiar with the road to the mansion and disappeared from Lu Hua’s sight in a short while.
Lu Hua, who couldn't tell the direction, was dumbfounded.
He had no idea where to go.
If I chase in the direction Zhou left without permission, I might get lost again in the mansion.
With no other options, Lu Hua gritted his teeth and walked in the direction Ah Zhi told him.
This time he was lucky enough to meet Li Qian who was leaving the main courtyard.
"teacher!"
Lu Hua was like seeing a rescuer, and his eyes unconsciously turned slightly red.
Li Qian was already in a bad mood, and he agreed with Lu Hua yesterday that he would come to the mansion today.
The other party actually regretted not coming. Not only was Li Qian annoyed, but Bai Weixue was extremely disappointed.
They did hope that their daughter could marry Lu Hua so that she would have someone to rely on in the future, but they never thought of forcing Lu Hua to marry her.
If he came and saw that Ah Zhi really didn't like it, they naturally wouldn't force him to drink water.
"Why are you here only now? Didn't I tell you the time?"
Lu Hua saw that Li Qian was a little angry, and immediately bent down to explain seriously.
"The teacher did tell me what time to come, but I couldn't tell east from west and north from south, so I arrived at the mansion early but got lost."
Looking at the beads of sweat on Lu Hua's face, Li Qian believed that the other party would not deceive him.
I thought he didn't agree with this marriage and deliberately didn't want to come to my house to meet me, but I didn't expect there was this other reason.
Li Qian asked in disbelief, "When you arrived at the mansion, was there no one to lead the way for you? Where was the servant at the door? Didn't you meet any of the maids and servants in the mansion?"
Even among the maids and servants there are those who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. Lu Hua has looked for the servant at the door before.
But the other party ignored him and looked disdainful, and the look in his eyes made Lu Hua feel uncomfortable.
These people all have snobbish eyes. How could Lu Hua, who has no power and is dressed in plain clothes, be worthy of their attention?
Lu Hua smiled bitterly at Li Qian.
"The servant did show me the way, but I forgot and got lost."
"Asshole! Is this a question of whether to point the way or not? How can I tolerate such arrogance from a servant in your mansion?"
Li Qian didn't expect that after his orders, these people would dare to disobey them and simply didn't take him seriously.
If they are too lazy to put in some superficial effort in public, wouldn't they be even more presumptuous in private?
Three years ago, there was a case of servants bullying their masters in noble families. Those servants relied on their masters' favors and secretly acted in a bully way.
They also did evil things in the name of their master.
Emperor Ren De was a man of great integrity and all the nobles, including him, had their property confiscated and were exiled.
Even though Ren Dedi was using someone else's knife to kill someone, Li Qian was still very alert.
Just looking at the slightly embarrassed Lu Hua, he shook his head and sighed, "It was because I didn't think it through today that this happened. I wanted to let you meet my daughter."
"It seems unlikely now. Zhu'er has returned to her own courtyard. Why don't you follow me to the study."
"Yes, disciple understands."
Lu Hua was not disappointed that he could not meet the second daughter of the Li family.
At this moment, his mind was full of thoughts about Azhi whom he had just picked up.
Li Qian winked at the housekeeper next to him, and the entire Li Mansion was in turmoil.
Bai Weixue knew that if Li Qian's actions were not stopped, there would be countless servants in the mansion who flattered the powerful and bullied the weak.
It's just that the masters turned a blind eye.
Unfortunately, the plan to let the two children meet was ruined. Bai Weixue put down the teacup with a worried look on her face.
The maidservant beside her offered some snacks and asked quietly, "What's wrong, Madam? But is the tea not good?"
"No, I have something on my mind. I didn't expect that the things I had planned for today would be disrupted. I feel a little uneasy."
Ever since Li Lian was granted marriage as the Crown Princess, Bai Weixue has felt somewhat uneasy, always worrying that Ah Zhi would get involved.
Bai Weixue was in such a hurry to finalize her marriage because she wanted to find a stable life.
The maid comforted Bai Weixue, "Madam, you are really worrying too much. If the second young lady and Mr. Lu are destined to be together, they will definitely be together no matter what. The young lady is blessed, so Madam, don't worry."
"Just now, the master sent someone to pass on a message, saying that Mr. Lu is his disciple. He always wanted to keep a low profile in the past, so he didn't mention asking him to come to the mansion this time."
"Now that Master Lu has come, we will ask him to come over more often until the palace examination is over."
Bai Weixue felt much more relieved after hearing this.
"Second girl!"
Jindou caught up with Azhi, panting.
It seems that he has been looking for Ah Zhi for a while, and his little face is sunburned red.
"Young lady, why didn't you wait for me? It was just the time it took me to pick up a pearl flower, how come you disappeared?"
Ah Zhi took Jin Dou's arm and said with a smile, "I was just so engrossed in what I was looking at that I was one step ahead without noticing. You can't catch up with me, so can you blame me for my long legs and fast feet?"
"The girl is making up stories."
"Okay, don't be angry. I'll tell you the truth. I just saw my father's disciple."
Jindou, who was fanning himself with a handkerchief, hadn't thought about it yet.
"Disciple? What disciple? You have so many disciples. Are you talking about...disciple?"
She hurriedly asked Ah Zhi excitedly, "Miss, are you talking about Mr. Lu? The ideal husband that Madam and the Lord have found for you? What does he look like? Is he really as handsome as the legend says?"
Seeing Jindou's overly excited look, Azhi actually shook his head with a smile.
"I won't tell you. Let your uncle keep guessing."
"Good girl, please, just tell this slave!"
Jindou is a very curious little girl. If her interest is really aroused, she will ask questions non-stop like nougat.
He also held Azhi's hand and shook it left and right, which made Azhi really annoyed.
"Girl, girl..."
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you now."
Azhi helplessly went to Jindou's ear and told him what had happened.
Jindou's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"What if Mr. Lu really comes to look for me? Should I tell him my true identity?"
Azhi gave Jindou a sugar-roasted chestnut.
"What do you think? Wouldn't it be no fun if we told everything?"
"Okay, okay, I will definitely help you to cover for her! Take a good look at Mr. Lu's character!"
Li Qian was called an old fox in the court.
He does things cleanly and efficiently without leaving any clues behind, and he can kill someone with just a snap of his fingers.
He also made Emperor Ren De very happy, and many people were jealous of him behind his back.
Lu Hua is a good candidate.
Li Qian wanted to protect him, so he thought about avoiding suspicion in advance.
The reason why I accepted Lu Hua as my disciple was purely because I valued his talent, not for any other purpose.
Now, in order to allow Lu Hua and Azhi to have more contact.
He asked Lu Hua to come to his house every day to explain the articles.
The next day, Lu Hua specially bought some peach cakes from Sui Xin Su and came to Li's house early to inquire about Miss Jin Dou.
It is very easy to see the golden beans.
Jindou, who is usually unreliable, was very calm this time when facing Lu Hua's inquiries.
"Miss Jindou, I want to ask about Miss Pearl."
Jindou's eyes widened in confusion, "Pearl? Why are you asking about Pearl? Are you a pervert?"
I didn’t expect Jindou to be so good at acting. He acted so realistically.
Lu Hua waved his hands hurriedly.
"No, no, no, I'm not a pervert. I just want to return something to Miss Pearl. I found her handkerchief outside and forgot to return it when I came to your house yesterday."
When looking at the silk handkerchief in his hand, Lu Hua blushed instantly.
Thinking about how he had kept the silk handkerchief close to his body, he actually felt a sense of agreement with Jindou's precautions.
I am really like a lecher, thinking about it shamelessly every night when everyone is asleep...
Lu Hua shook his head vigorously to clear his mind.
The silk handkerchief in front of her looked very familiar to Jindou.
This silk handkerchief is Azhi's personal item, and the embroidery on it is one of a kind in the world.
Last time, Jindou asked Azhi where this silk handkerchief had gone.
Unexpectedly, it fell into Lu Hua's hands.
Jindou snatched it and stuffed it into his sleeve.
"Okay, you've already returned the silk handkerchief, so if you have nothing else to do, just leave now."
"Ah? No, I have something else to give Miss Pearl. This is Sui Xin Su's peach cake, which is completely different from other peach cakes. Thank you Miss Pearl for showing me the way yesterday. This is my little token of my appreciation."
Jindou raised his hand to refuse.
"Alright, no need to try to get close to me. I know Mr. Lu's identity. He is your disciple."
"Madam also intends to let Mr. Lu become the husband of my second daughter. In this case, you shouldn't mess with Zhenzhu. Do you want to make Zhenzhu your concubine?"
It's just straight to the point.
Lu Hua didn't want to hide his feelings.
"Miss Jindou has misunderstood. I have never thought of making Miss Zhenzhu my concubine. In fact, I have never thought of marrying the second lady. I do have feelings for Miss Zhenzhu, but I just want her to be my wife."
"Since I first saw Miss Pearl, I already knew what I felt for her. I had no intention of compromising when I came to her house yesterday. I wanted to make it clear in front of Miss Second, but I lost my way and ended up making things worse."
"But fortunately, I met Miss Pearl again. I can swear with my life here that I will only be interested in Miss Pearl in this life."
Unexpectedly, Lu Hua started swearing as soon as they disagreed with each other. Jin Dou, who wanted to make things difficult for him, was stunned.
"Master Lu."
A gentle voice came from behind him, and Lu Hua's courage just now turned into a blush on his face.
Thinking that his confession was heard by Azhi, his face flushed and his breathing became heavy. He didn't dare to look back. He just lowered his head slightly and pretended to be a quail.
"Ms. Pearl."
"Why don't you look back at me, Mr. Lu?"
Azhi moved closer, and Lu Hua could even smell a faint fragrance, exactly the same as the scent on the silk handkerchief.
"No, no, I just..."
"Just what? What's wrong, sir? Your face is so red, are you feeling unwell?"
The cold little hand fell on her cheek, with a soft silk handkerchief between them.
Lu Hua didn't expect that Azhi reached out and touched his cheek through the silk handkerchief.
His breathing became heavier and his whole body stiffened slightly, and he felt a tingling sensation on his skin as the other person's fingertips brushed against his skin.
Azhi was only a fist away from him.
"If Master Lu is feeling unwell, you must tell this servant the truth."
"No, no, no..."
Before Lu Hua could finish, Ah Zhi exclaimed.
"Your face is so hot, I think you must be feeling unwell. Sir, please follow me to the pavilion next to you and sit down and rest for a while."
Without giving Lu Hua a chance to refuse, Ah Zhi dragged him into the pavilion next to him and personally wiped his cheeks with a handkerchief dipped in water.
