Chapter 33: The Lu Family doesnt need a power hungry person like you 1 (1/2)
Lu Residence
While Lu Yiling took Zhu Fenfang away from the scene to prevent her from getting any more ideas, Su Liya silently contemplating the quickest escape route. Su Liya smiled sheepishly at Lu Yaozhu, she feared that Lu Yaozhu would think that she had stayed her fall just now.
She had watched enough dramas and read enough books to know that in a family as strict as the Lu family, this could get her killed. She needed to get out of here before Lu Yaozhu changed his mind. However she couldn't just leave that easily, Lu Yaozhu was a titled member of the nobility. He could prevent her from leaving if he wanted to.
Su Liya began to hear herself up for having the worse luck ever, not only did she get involved in a freak accident but she got herself trapped in a novel. She couldn't just get trapped as a young mistress or a princess, no. she had to get trapped as a maid who didn't live past fifty chapters.
Suddenly, she saw a flash of brown servant livery as Yu Tao ran to his master's side and whispered into his ear. Her heart cooled down as she saw Lu Yaozhu's expression change, she suddenly began to praise her ancestors for remembering her for once and sending Lu Yaozhu away.
Whatever Yu Tao reported must have been very serious because Lu Yaozhu's expression got dark. He immediately forgot her presence and walked away. Su Liya released the breath she held and smiled.
She ran back to the main courtyard, Zhu Fengyin and Lu Yingjie had just finished their lunch when she arrived. She cleared up the dirty dishes and sent them to the kitchen. The atmosphere in the room felt a little heated, Su Liya retreated to the hallway and gave the couple some room.
For a workaholic like Lu Yingjie, it was initially surprising to see him this unrestrained but after a month, Su Liya was used to this. Lu Yingjie stayed over for two hours before leaving the room and returning to his sturdy.
Su Liya came in when he left, Zhu Fengyin was fast asleep on the bed. Su Liya carefully picked up Zhu Fengyin's dirty clothes and laid out a fresh set. There were a few more clothes that needed to be washed, Su Liya added the new set to the pile and threw them into a basket.
Su Liya Instructed Tian Tian to keep watch, in case Zhu Fengyin woke up and needed something while she sent the dirty clothes to the laundry room. Su Liya and Tian Tian made sure to keep watch of their young mistress, to avoid giving anyone a chance to hurt her.
No one was to be trusted in this Lu mansion, madam Lu had a lot of influence on the servants and it was no secret that she does not like Zhu Fengyin. Su Liya waited until Tian Tian was set before heading out.
The laundry room was located at the other side of the mansion, very close to the servants quarters. She met a few servants as she got closer but most of them just watched her as she passed by. Su Liya ignored their strange looks and continued walking forward.
