If one were to ask about the marriage of the Young Ladies in the capital in recent years, in addition to the princesses and princesses, the best marriage would be the Lu sisters.
Her eldest sister, Lu Yunpei, was engaged to King Chu. However, she was favored by the Crown Prince and became a Second Consort in the palace.
His younger sister, Lu Shengyao, was engaged to Changsheng Duke's son. His son, Gu Baiyu, was a master of both literature and martial arts. The second young lady of the Lu family, Yu Yueyan, was a perfect match. They were a perfect match.
The sister's father, Lu Xianyan, was only an assistant minister of the Ministry of War. The reason why he could get married so high was mainly because of his grandfather, Duke Yong'an, who was one of the four marshals of the country.
However, the nobles in the capital knew a secret—Lu Yunxiu was not favored by the Crown Prince, but because King Chu had been weak and sick since he was a child. Three years ago, he was even sick and could not get up. Everyone thought that King Chu could not make it. They were afraid that Lu Yunxii, who was a widow, would seduce the Crown Prince in a hurry, so the Crown Prince spent a lot of effort to invite her to marry him.
This matter was despised by the nobles. However, since Lu Yunpei was the Crown Prince's second consort, everyone was still polite on the surface. However, the Lu family and King Chu were enemies.
Finally, the heavens gave way to reincarnation. Duke Yong'an lost his advantage in the war, losing 100,000 elite soldiers and five important cities. He was even reported to have colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. The whole Ying family had been imprisoned, and his son-in-law, Vice Minister Lu, was also implicated.
The person in charge of this case was none other than King Chu, the fiance of the First Miss of the Lu family who had broken off the engagement.
...
It was night.
However, the Vice Minister of Justice's Manor was brightly lit.
The soldiers in soft armor rushed into the mansion and smashed the inside and outside of the mansion, saying that they were looking for evidence of the rebels.
As soon as she arrived in a coma, she heard the maids talking in a panic.
"Miss, are you awake? A lot of soldiers have come into the front yard. They will come to our Shui Yao Academy soon. Shall we wake you up?"
"But Miss has a high fever for four days. I'm afraid she can't stand it."
"Even if I can't bear it, I have to let you put on your clothes. Otherwise, when those soldiers come in... they will ruin your reputation!"
"You're right."
However, just as they were talking, they heard the soldiers break through the door and start smashing in the yard.
Lu Yunxiu struggled to stand up with her hot and painful body. "Come... man..."
The personal maidservant, Wen Qiu, Monk Spring, hurried forward and asked, "Miss, are you okay?" "Please lie down, Miss."
The soldiers had already rushed into the room. Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Shengyao said, "Bring me your cloak."
Nuan Qiu was the first to react. She hurriedly found a cloak and put it on for Lu Shengyao.
"Help me get up." Lu Shengyao felt dizzy.
"Yes." Monk Huan Qiu and Monk Chun helped the weak and gentle Miss stand up.
The moment Lu Shengyao stood up, the soldiers rushed in.
Nuan Qiu was anxious and rushed over. "Sir, please forgive me. This is Miss's room. Miss is not allowed to enter her room without permission!"
"Wenqiu, come back."
Just as the soldier was about to refuse, he heard the weak woman in the corner calling him softly.
The woman's voice was weak, but her words were neat. She spoke word by word, sonorous and powerful, with the rare calmness of a young girl.
Not to mention the soldiers, even the maids and old maids serving in the Water Yaoyao Court were stunned.
Lu Shengyao leaned on Shangchun's body and continued with her eyes slightly closed, "The adults have the imperial order, so we can't interfere. We should cooperate so that the adults can be on good terms with each other." As she spoke, she took two deep breaths and said, "Wenqiu, take your men to assist His Honor in his work. We can't make any mistakes."
"...Yes, Miss." Wen Qiu gathered the maids and old maids, and then said to the murderous soldiers in a trembling voice, "My lord... this way please."
However, it was unknown whether it was because the soldiers pitied the beauty or they were intimidated by the sick Second Miss of the Lu family. The entire Shuiyao Academy was the only place in the Vice Minister of Justice's Manor that had not been smashed. If the soldiers wanted to investigate something, the maids and old maids would be the first to open it. If the soldiers wanted to see something, the maids and old maids would immediately lead the soldiers to see it.
Lu Yunxiu leaned against Shangchun, closed her eyes, and accepted the information in her mind. She quickly figured it out.
First, I'm afraid I'll die of a high fever.
Secondly, if she didn't have a solution, she would die of illness.
Third, if she still had the ability, it would be best to investigate the case of her grandfather, Yong'an Duke. Vice Minister Lu's talent was mediocre, and it was all because of his father-in-law that he was able to become an official. If Duke Yong'an were to fall, the Lu family's glory and wealth would be ruined.
No one was willing to live a hard life, including Lu Shengyao.
Since she had been reincarnated and became an official's second generation, she wanted to be an official's second generation forever.
The soldiers retreated, and Wen Qiu, whose face was pale with fear, stepped forward. "Miss, please lie down and rest for a while."
Lu Shengyao shook her head slowly. "Help me put on my clothes and wash up."
"But..."
"They won't let it go." The fire was so strong that Lu Shengyao didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.
The crowd saw that in the messy room, different from the panic of the maids and old maids, the thin and weak girl with red cheeks seemed to emit an invisible aura, calming everyone in the room. The aura gradually spread. Finally, everyone in the room calmed down and began to work in an orderly manner.
An old maid brought warm water. The warm monk and the warm monk helped Lu Yunxie to comb her hair and dress. The other maids quickly tidied up the room.
Within a quarter of an hour, not only had the entire Shui Yao House been cleaned up, but the atmosphere was also as calm as if nothing had happened.
After washing up, Lu Shengyao sat in front of her makeup mirror. She looked at the beautiful face in the mirror and was shocked. She had never thought that she would be able to come back to life with such beauty.
Her delicate skin was delicate and delicate. Her nose was delicate, her lips were like petals, and her eyes were as attractive as autumn water.
Even without any makeup, her beautiful eyes were stunning enough.
There was a bitter feeling. It was the return of the warm autumn monk. One of them was holding a medicine bowl, and the other was holding a candied fruit.
"Miss, the medicine is here." Nuan Qiu coaxed her as usual. "Today's medicine is not bitter at all. You just need to drink it in one go and eat some preserved fruit."
At this moment, another group of soldiers broke into the Water Yao Academy. The servants, who had just relaxed, were immediately surrounded by soldiers.
The leader of the military officers barged in without permission. He cupped his hands and said coldly, "Miss Lu, I'm sorry. My lord invites you."
Lu Shengyao frowned slightly. "Okay." As she spoke, she took the bowl from Wen Qiu's hand and raised her head to drink it. She stuffed the empty bowl back into the bowl and said, "I'll have to trouble you to lead the way." She got up and walked over slowly.
Everyone was shocked.
The Second Miss had been delicate since she was a child. She hated bitter suffering the most. Every time she took medicine, she had to coax her for half a day. But today, although she had taken the bitter medicine, she did not even frown. It was really amazing.
In this way, Lu Shengyao followed the officer to the front yard.
Along the way, Lu Yunxiu looked around and saw that the whole mansion was almost smashed into ruins. She sneered in her heart—how much did King Chu hate him? Wasn't it just his fiancee marrying someone else? There were so many beautiful women in the world. Why did he do this for a woman? No wonder he was a sick man. He deserved it!
