Ye Zhen heard Ming Yu mention before that when she was taken away by the kidnapper, a man blocked the way of the kidnapper, which saved her from the danger of being taken to an alley to hide. When Yan Xiaoliu caught up with her, the man who saved her had disappeared.
She did not expect that the person who helped Ming Yu was the chief steward of King Yi's mansion.
Why didn't he stay at that time, but left silently? Ye Zhen looked up at this steward, feeling very puzzled.
"On the day of the Lantern Festival, did you save the princess?" Ye Zhen asked softly.
Lu Lingzhi lowered his head. "That day, I found them abducting children on the street. This slave followed them for a while. Later, I saw them join hands to steal a little girl. After this slave stopped them, I found out that it was Her Royal Highness."
"How did you know it was the princess?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
"This slave heard the man who caught up with us shouting 'Princess'." Lu Lingzhi said.
It sounded as if there was no flaw at all, and it was indeed reasonable.
"This Empress has always wanted to find the person who saved the princess and reward him. You have saved the princess, and your credit is not small. This Empress will reward you well." Ye Zhen retracted her gaze from Lu Lingzhi's face. With just a few simple words, she could see that this Lin Zongguan was not an ordinary servant. Zhao Yong let him follow Zhao Ning to the capital, intending him to assist Zhao Ning.
How could a person who can be put in an important position by Zhao Yong be mediocre?
"This slave thanks the Empress." Lu Lingzhi did not refuse again, otherwise, it would really arouse suspicion.
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and looked at him, then took Ming Yu's hand and left King Yi's mansion. She turned back to Zhao Ning and said, "Go back and rest, no need to send me off."
"Didn't you say that I was very safe? I'll just take it as a walk. "Zhao Ning smiled and insisted on seeing Ye Zhen to the door.
"Alright." Ye Zhen smiled helplessly.
"This steward, was he very successful in the Kingdom of Qi before?" As they walked, Ye Zhen casually asked the man.
"You know that I went to the Kingdom of Qi for the first time at that time. I didn't know anything about the palace. However, I didn't hear anyone mention Lin Yan at that time. I haven't seen him in the palace. Maybe he was serving my father."
If she was to serve by Zhao Yong's side, then her dowry to the capital was truly worth pondering.
"It seems that your father treats you very well," Ye Rou said with a smile.
"Probably to make it up to me." Zhao Ning said, "But Lin Yan really has some tricks up his sleeves. Even though he looks weak, all the servants in the palace respect him."
Ye Zhen faintly raised her eyebrows and did not ask any more questions.
Zhao Ning watched as the horse carriage gradually disappeared into the distance, and then held onto Zi Juan's hand to return to the upper room.
"Chief Lin never mentioned anything about him saving the Princess?" Zhao Ning suddenly asked.
"Wang fei, this is the first time nubi has heard of this matter." Zi Juan said.
Zhao Ning nodded her head lightly. Manager Lin … She had never doubted this person, because he was given to her as part of her dowry by her father. At that time, he had even said that he could be put in an important position.
Perhaps it was time to get someone to investigate.
Ye Zhen, who was on her way back to the palace, was also thinking about this problem.
She had a bad feeling about this Chief Steward Lin. She didn't know what it was, but she felt that this person gave her a familiar feeling of disgust. She didn't suspect Zhao Ning, but she suspected Zhao Yong. If Lin Yan was his trusted aide, then what did he want Lin Yan to do in the capital? Just to protect Zhao Ning? When Mo Rongzhan first returned to the capital, he asked the secret guards to find all the spies Zhao Yong had left here, but he did not expect that there would be fish that slipped through the net.
Speaking of which, Lin Yan's face did not look very good, and somewhat abnormal.
"Yan Han, go and investigate this man, and let Song Jiong investigate him as well." Ye Zhen whispered to Yan Han outside.
"Yes, Niang."
Ming Yu looked at Ye Zhen with a puzzled face, "Mother, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I'll find out how Manager Lin saved you." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"Mother, look, these little white rabbit candies are so cute." Ming Yu took out the candies from her arms. "Others don't know where to buy them, only Manager Lin knows."
Ye Zhen looked thoughtfully at the candies in Ming Yu's hand. For some reason, Lu Lingzhi's figure suddenly flashed in her mind.
Lin Yan was a eunuch. Lu Lingzhi couldn't turn himself into a eunuch just to hide in the palace.
Back in the palace, Ming Yu went to find Ming Xi and the others to share the candies. Ye Zhen looked at the sky and asked someone to send a message to the Lu family, asking Lu Tingzhi to come to the palace to see her tomorrow.
The next day, it was Lu Xiangzhi who entered the palace.
"Brother, why are you in the palace? Where is Lu Tingzhi?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and asked.
Lu Xiangzhi said, "Yesterday, he sent a letter to Father, saying that he has something to do and will leave the capital for a few days. When he comes back, let him come to see you immediately."
What a coincidence! Ye Zhen said, "Well, when he comes back, let him come to see me immediately."
"Niang niang, is there something wrong?" Lu Xiangzhi asked doubtfully. Recently, he was in high spirits and looked forward to the wedding every day. He didn't know what Lu Tingzhi had done.
Ye Zhen didn't want Lu Lingzhi's affairs to affect her brother's mood. "It's not a big deal. We will get married in a few days. The wedding is almost over, isn't it?"
Lu Xiangzhi smiled and touched the tip of his nose, "It's almost over."
"Has Lady Liu moved out?" When it came to Lady Liu, Ye Zhen's tone was a little cold. She didn't like Lady Liu. If she was allowed to stay in the Lu family, she would only keep causing trouble for the Pei family. It was more appropriate to let her leave as soon as possible.
"She moved to the original mansion this morning. Because of this, Second Uncle and Second Aunt just made a scene at home." Lu Xiangzhi said angrily.
"What happened?" Ye Zhen asked with a frown.
Lu Xiangzhi said, "Before we entered the palace, Father told me not to tell you about this. You know what kind of person Second Aunt is. When she heard that Father gave the manor to Second Brother, she incited Second Uncle to come and make a fuss, saying that they wanted to move back to the manor as well. She blamed Father and Mother for being biased towards the first branch. At first, Father tried to explain things in a friendly manner, but later on, Mother got angry and chased Second Aunt out. Second Aunt refused to leave and stayed at the door crying. Fortunately, Third Brother came back in time and took Second Aunt away."
Ye Zhen sneered, "Wang really dares to make trouble."
"With Third Brother here, she won't dare to make trouble again." Lu Xiangzhi said, "Father said that Second Brother is now in charge of the second branch. Let Second Brother solve it."
Thinking of Lu Zan, Ye Zhen dispelled the idea of sending people to teach Wang a lesson. At least there were still sober people in the second branch of the Lu family.
"Well, I won't interfere." Ye Zhen said faintly, "You just said that Lady Liu and Lu Tingzhi only moved to the mansion today?"
Since they just moved back to the Lu family's mansion today, there should be a lot of things to do. Why did Lu Tingzhi suddenly leave the capital today? Did he find some clues?
