Chapter 2 - Rise of the Wind
Lu Ruoqing prepared to suppress the matter.
”Wait a moment.” She came out of the bath barrel and used a ladle of water to wash her body.
Lu Ruoqing dried her body and put on her clothes, summoning Yao Xiang and the others in.
”Miss.” Pill Fragrance's face was deathly pale, her lips trembling. ”You ….” Are you okay? ”
Lu Ruoqing swept her eyes coldly.
The medicinal scented eye ring turned red and started crying, ”Just now, those strong people were carrying swords and sabers, we … …” It really can't be stopped. ”
The few wives and little girls also explained, ”Yes, they are all carrying sabers.”
”It looks like he's going to kill someone.”
”Too terrifying.”
”Please forgive me, Miss.” The medicinal fragrance led the way as they knelt down with a 'putong'. The rest of the people followed suit.
Lu Ruoqing sneered in her heart.
These people were all spies planted by her grandmother, so they naturally wouldn't be completely loyal to her.
In any case, she was reborn with the goal of taking revenge. Anyone who harmed her before would die!
In the future, when his grandmother died, these dog slaves would not have a good ending.
There was no need to worry about it at the moment.
Lu Ruoqing restrained her emotions and said: ”Enough, don't cry.”
Although she was young, her tone carried the dignity of a person in power.
Pill Fragrance and the others quieted down.
Lu Ruoqing said in a deep voice, ”Remember, today, I have not taken a bath yet. Instead, I am in the courtyard with you all, idly chatting.”
”Huh?” The servants were all stunned.
”Even though there were strong people who barged in to conduct a search, all of you risked your lives to protect me and did not suffer any losses.”
”No?”
Lu Ruoqing coldly swept her gaze over.
She asked meaningfully, ”The meritorious officials who risked their lives to protect their master and the sinner who caused Miss to lose her innocence, which one do you want to be? I've already thought about it. I'll choose again. ”
”Oh …” Someone came to a realization.
”Yes, yes, yes. Listen to the little miss.”
Following that, everyone else reacted and began to kowtow one after another.
”Miss Lu.” Outside of the courtyard, a contact monk ran in a flustered manner.
The girls all stepped aside to make way for him.
The monk then asked: ”Just now a group of experts barged into the temple and searched everywhere, was Miss Lu shocked? Is anyone from the Lu Family injured? ”
”Nope.” Lu Ruoqing looked to be rejoicing.
She smiled and said, ”Those people have a goal. As soon as I entered the yard, I looked around every room. They are not looking for me.”
”So it's like that.”
Lu Ruoqing continued: ”The people beside me reacted quickly and protected me in the corner of the courtyard wall. They weren't scared, and none of them were injured.”
”That's good, that's good.” The monk let out a long sigh of relief.
He said to the people below, ”After returning to the residence, everyone will be rewarded with one tael of silver. They will be forced to buy some wine to calm themselves down and recover their souls.”
Her actions were obviously to reward the servants who were protecting the lord, showing that she was safe and sound.
The novice monk began to believe more and more.
Lu Ruoqing replied: ”I'm fine.”
”It's really nothing.” Lu Ruoqing laughed.
The monk then said, ”There are many people in the temple today, and some of the other pilgrims have been frightened. Since Miss Lu is fine, then let's rest for the time being, I will go to another place to check up on the situation. ”
Lu Ruoqing nodded her head, ”En, my hands and feet are both weak, I wish to rest for a while.”
”The doctor is still waiting in the courtyard, would you please come in?”
Lu Ruoqing did not need a doctor.
However, she didn't want anyone to be suspicious, so she called the doctor in to get a safe vein.
The doctor quickly finished his pulse diagnosis, opened the Calming Calm Formula, and left.
The medicinal aroma spread through the medicinal herbs.
Lu Ruoqing looked at the ruby ring on her hand and flicked the switch, using all of the medicinal powder inside it.
She thought of the man who had mocked her.
He couldn't help but smile, ”Hehe...” This is not a good taste. ”
Soon, he would be able to experience the pain of the Bone Devourer.
This was her punishment.
Because something happened, the guests from the Dazhao Temple all went down the mountain one after another.
Lu Ruoqing also chose to leave.
Originally, she came to Dazhao Temple to pray for her mother's blessings, but in the end she met with danger.
Thus, he called for the servants, packed his luggage, and left the mountain together with them.
The journey was peaceful.
Returning back to the Lu Manor, Lu Ruoqing first went to report to her grandmother.
The Lu Manor's courtyard wasn't particularly large, but the pavilions, the fake mountains, and the flowers and plants were arranged in an exceptionally exquisite manner.
Especially the living quarters of the Grand Lord Yun in its later years, which were covered in lush greenery, from time to time, the crisp sounds of birds could be heard, causing the surroundings to be extremely quiet.
Lu Ruoqing raised her head, looked at the ”Jung De Tang” golden signboard, and walked in with his skirt held up.
She smiled sweetly and said, ”Grandmother, granddaughter pays her respects to you.”
Grand Lord Yun was already close to sixty years old, but she had maintained her health quite well.
Especially when she smiled, it was even more benevolent. ”Ruoqing is back.”
Lu Ruoqing nodded, ”If anything happens in Dazhao Temple, I will head down the mountain first.”
”Ah?” What happened? ” The Grand Lord Yun looked very worried.
Lu Ruoqing said: ”It's a bit of a mess.”
Grand Lord Yun asked, ”Are you alright? Come here, come here, let Grandmother have a good look. ”
”I'm fine.” Lu Ruoqing laughed obediently.
”What is going on?” Grand Lord Yun pulled her to look left and right, her face filled with worry.
Lu Ruoqing explained: ”Someone has lost something, and is searching throughout the entire courtyard of Dazhao Temple, and it has turned the whole place upside down.”
Grand Lord Yun looked very frightened, ”Oh my god!”
Lu Ruoqing continued: ”Fortunately, I'm under the protection of a servant, so I'm fine. I came back early because I didn't feel safe. ”
”It's good that you're fine. It's good that you're fine.” Grand Lord Yun had a face full of joy.
She turned her head and said to the rest of the people, ”As you all know, Ruoqing is the flesh and blood of my heart.
