C77 (1/2)

The Jing Zhao Estate remained in the living room, under the first governor's motto, Pei Qing was anxiously walking in circles.

Looking at Lu Qingyao calmly drinking tea at the side, he couldn't help but say, ”Look at you, I said don't put anything in the pastries, right? This time it's good, someone saw through my intentions and the entire Jing Zhao Estate knows about it.

Lu Qingyao put down her teacup and sat upright on the chair. She had a very obedient appearance, but she was noncommittal to Pei Qing's worries.

”Didn't I already explain it? I thought that thing was a balsamic seasoning and accidentally spilled it on my heart.”

No one would believe such a reason …

However, Pei Qing did not say this. Lu Qingyao had always been an unremarkable character in the social circle of the noble ladies in Liang Jing City. Pei Qing had thought so in the past, but the longer they spent together, the more she knew that this impression was deliberately made by Lu Qingyao.

She was the one who added fuel to the fire when Lu Qingwan became Liang Jingqin. It was also Lu Qingyao who facilitated their acquaintance with the Fourth Prince, not to mention the two of them hastily giving each other a marriage.

Pei Qing sometimes felt that Lu Qingyao was very scary. She was clearly younger than she was, not even younger than her age, but her scheming had already far surpassed everyone she knew. Pei Qing felt that the reason Lu Qingyao had hidden herself was so that she could quietly wait for a suitable opportunity to amaze everyone.

”Even if they don't believe us, they wouldn't dare to claim that we're the ones who did it.” Lu Qingyao asked in a low voice.

Firstly, they did not have any evidence, and since they were the noble ladies of Liang Jing City, the Prefecture Overseer of Jing Zhao had to consider their identities, let alone these grassroots yamen runners.

At most, all they could say was that the Third Miss of the General's Estate liked young master Pei Yu and had gone to the door to express her love, while the peddlers knocked their teeth in their leisure time and were used to gossiping.

And this was what Lu Qingyao wanted. The corner of her mouth raised into a smile as she opened her mouth and whispered, ”Pei Yu …”

The young master was like jade and was compatible with her, so it wasn't considered a loss.

”...”

Lu JinNian just stood at the door. She recognized the two people in the reception hall. One was Pei Qing, Pei Yu's little concubine sister, and the other was Lu Qingyao, her little concubine sister.

So this was a battle where his two little sisters were colluding to conduct a strategy for his brother?

It was no wonder that she was familiar with Pei Yu because Pei Yu had used the excuse of staying in her room to read a book. He had said something about how he didn't like being friends with his little sister, but it turned out that Lu Qingyao had already been interested in Pei Yu at that time!

Deep down, if Lu Qingyao and Pei Yu were in love with each other, she wouldn't mind having a brother-in-law like Pei Yu. Pei Yu was older than her, so in terms of seniority, she was the one taking advantage.

She admired the way Pei Yu treated the people. He was very smart and tactful, and when she interacted with him, it was like she was enjoying the fresh tea. She was also very comfortable when she spoke to him.

However, Lu Qingyao … What should she say? As long as her actions didn't threaten the safety of her family and didn't infringe on the things that Lu JinNian was protecting, even if her heart was dark and had a shrewd mind, Lu JinNian wouldn't interfere and affect her pursuit of her own happiness.

Oh, I see!

Lu Jinjian slapped his other hand with his fist. No wonder when she asked to pinch the peach blossom, Pei Yu had a crafty look on his face. He was expecting that he wouldn't do anything to his half-sister!

Pei Yu stood beside Lu JinNian. Seeing her constipated expression, he smiled mischievously and spoke to her silently, ”We agreed to pinch the peach blossoms, why didn't you go in?”
