Not long after Xiao Su left, Ye Wen returned with a bowl of medicine. Lu JinNian looked at the bowl of soup with a strong smell and couldn't help but twitch her lips. This was the first time she thought of the sweet pill.
It wasn't that the medicinal soup was bitter, but that he really wasn't used to it.
After drinking the medicine with his nose, Lu Jinniang called Yi Han out and gave her the plate he took out from Mo Rufeng earlier, ”Han, go find Mo Rufeng and find out where the Zither of the Spring was from, as well as why it was in Lady Yi's hands.”
Yi Han asked doubtfully, ”Miss, do you mean that someone intentionally gave the zither to Madam Yi?”
”Not necessarily,” Lu JinNian shook his head, ”As long as the Zither of the Spring Water appears, it would not remain unknown. Even if it's not Lady Yi, it could also be one of Liang Jing's rich and powerful families.”
The purpose of the person who played the zither and the person who stole the zither were unknown.
After seeing Yi Han put away the sign, Yi Han asked, ”It's just that Miss, why don't you let our people investigate? They might not be able to match up to the Nightmare Pavilion.”
Lu Jinniang laughed, ”I know that Warmth is unconvinced. We're not worse than Night Guiding Pavilion, we're just not as arrogant as them. However, for the time being, we have to keep our influence hidden.”
”Otherwise, it would be hard to handle things on Yan Ze's side. Leave those dangerous matters to Nightmare Pavilion. Warm up, go to our people and report it to them. We can check on any legends regarding the Zither of the Spring or other famous zithers.”
”I understand.”
However, before he could leave due to the warmth of the day, Mu Qi knocked on the door again and reported, ”Miss, Miss Lu Qingyao has brought Prime Minister Pei Yu and his sister Pei Qing here.”
Lu JinNian was curious because she knew that he was interested in what was in the zither from the beginning, and she dared to guarantee that no one else but Xiao Su had noticed her movements, so her visit was within her expectations.
It didn't matter if Lu Qingyao had come. Even if she didn't have any feelings, even if she had a younger sister behind her back, she was still her younger sister. On the surface, she still had to maintain her harmony.
However, between Pei Yu and Pei Qing, the only connection Lu JinNian could think of was …
Earlier, Yi Han had caused Pei Yin, the direct daughter of the Prime Minister, to become bald. However, with Yi Han's martial arts skills and methods of committing crimes, he shouldn't have been discovered. Even if he was found out, he shouldn't have come at this time to denounce her for his crimes, right?
Lu Jin Nian looked at Yi Han with a puzzled expression. He told Yi Han to first find Mo Rufeng in the Night Guiding Pavilion to settle some important matters, then he would leave the Prime Minister's Residence for a while before he allowed Mu Chi to invite them in.
Although Lukewarm didn't like Lu Qingyao, she was still a guest, so she obediently went to make tea.
The first to enter was Lu Qingyao. She had a cute smile on her face, ”Sister, yesterday when sister came home late, I heard that sister was injured. I wonder if it was serious?”
Lu JinNian was exasperated. It was all Xiao Su's fault, how could he say that he was injured!
”Cough cough, it's because Lady Yi cares too much about this junior. I caught a cold and suddenly had a fever. I was just weak and wasn't injured.”
”So that's how it is. Big sister is fine, little sister is relieved.”
Lu JinNian's smile was stiff. Please, what did Lu Qingyao look like to be able to be so passionate towards this young mistress who normally looked at him with nothing in her eyes? This acting skills, tsk tsk, she was truly ashamed of herself.
Pei Qing was also smiling sweetly as he continued, ”I've always heard from Yao Yao that my eldest sister is breathtakingly beautiful. I wasn't able to take a good look at her at the Duke of Yi's estate yesterday. I saw her for real today.”
Are you sure you are praising her and not cursing her?
