Xue Lin soon inquired about the news.
This Boss Mei had only arrived in the capital in the last six months and opened a mustard seed garden. He would sing a play in the mustard seed garden every day. A month ago, he was seen by Liang Chun and Prince Ji. They were immediately shocked by his voice and appearance. The two quarreled almost every day. However, this Boss Mei seemed to know Liang Chun's preferences and did not entertain him at all. He would rather hide in the mustard seed garden all day than bow his head to Liang Chun.
As for Liang Chun hitting Lu Fang-er, that was something that happened a month ago. "Lu Fang-er sold the catamites that Liang Chun was raising at home, so Liang Chun hit her …"
"Lu Fang was beaten by him just like that?" Ye Zhen frowned slightly. Lu Fang should not be so cowardly to this extent.
Xue Lin lowered his head. "Lu Fang sent someone to find the Wang family, but they ignored her."
Only then did Ye Zhen remember that Mrs. Liu was not in the capital at all. Lu Fang's maternal family could only look for the second and third branches. However, the first and second branches joined forces to force Lu Shiming away. Now, she was embarrassed to come to Lu Shiming for her.
"Where did this Boss Mei come from?" Ye Zhen asked.
Xue Lin whispered, "This Boss Mei used to sing opera in the State of Qi. He came to the capital six months ago. By the way, this subordinate also found out one thing. Lu Fang and Boss Mei met."
Ye Zhen was stunned. "What?"
"Lu Fang met Boss Mei six months ago, but Liang Chun did not know about this." Xue Lin said.
"Maybe Liang Chun beating Lu Fang has something to do with Boss Mei." Ye Zhen said faintly. She called Hong Ying in. "Tomorrow, send something to Lu Fang in the name of our family. Send the scented tea I brought from Jinkou City in the name of Madam."
She didn't want to have any contact with Lu Fang, but she felt that Lu Shiming and his wife would be worried after knowing about Lu Fang. She did this for them.
After Ye Rou had done her part for Pei shi, she did not take this matter to heart. The next day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs came over to take her measurements for the Empress' dress. They also sent over eight nannies to teach her the rules.
Many of the rules were learned when she became Princess Qin. Now, she just picked them up again. It was not difficult for her to learn. Those nannies were personally chosen by Mo Rongzhan. It was said that the Empress Dowager had chosen a few nannies, but the Emperor changed them and chose a few nannies for her.
Probably, Mo Rongzhan told Ye that it was not difficult to learn the rules, but she could not go out again.
A few days later, an unexpected guest came to the house.
"Third Aunt, I haven't come to see you for so long. Please forgive me." The woman sitting in the hall was gorgeously dressed. If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't be able to tell that she was Lu Jing, who liked to pretend to be otherworldly.
Pei shi did not expect that Lu Jing would come looking for them. Thinking back to how this niece did not want to interact with them in the past, she really did not know how to treat this niece.
"You are now the Fifth Wangye's concubine. Your status is noble, which is very different from before." Pei Shi said politely.
Lu Jing showed a proud smile, but her tone was very modest. "Isn't it just a concubine? How can I not be compared to Yao Yao?"
Pei shi remembered that Lu Jing almost never spoke to Yao Yao in the past. "Jing 'er, did you come here today for something?"
"In fact, it's nothing. I haven't come to see you and Third Uncle for a long time. I happened to pass by here today, so I came to see you. I heard that Yao Yao has returned. I haven't seen her for a long time. Why don't I see her?" Lu Jing asked with a smile.
Coming to greet them was an excuse. The real purpose was to see Yao Yao.
If it weren't for Yao Yao entering the palace soon, Lu Jing would not have come to see her.
Pei Shi did not like to entertain Lu Jing either. "Yao Yao should be learning the rules in her room. If you want to see her, I will let someone take you there."
Lu Jing smiled and agreed.
Ye Zhen thought that she would never see Lu Jing again, especially when she heard that she had become the Fifth Wangye's concubine. She did not want to see this woman.
"Is the concubine free today?" Ye Zhen happened to learn the rules and was resting. There was sweat on her forehead. When she saw the maid leading Lu Jing, she was a little surprised.
Lu Jing looked at Ye Zhen, who was obviously more beautiful than before. The pride she had derived for so long was extinguished at once. Jealousy surged from the depths of her heart. "Yao Yao, I haven't seen you for a year. You look even more beautiful."
Ye Zhen nodded and motioned for Lu Jing to sit down. "I am very beautiful."
"I heard that you sent something to Lu Fang?" Lu Jing looked at Ye Zhen with a smile. "You have not been in the capital for so long. There are some things you don't know. Even I don't want to manage my second sister's affairs. You'd better not interfere."
"Oh?" Ye Zhen looked at Lu Jing with a smile. Did she come specially to persuade her not to mess with Lu Fang? "Why don't you want to manage Fang's affairs?"
Lu Jing whispered, "Who doesn't know what kind of person Liang Chun is? He has offended all the powerful people in the capital. The emperor will not let him go sooner or later. Fang was originally a poor girl, but in the end, she couldn't bear the loneliness and secretly raised a gigolo. Why do you think Liang Chun beat her? It's because he found out that she …"
Noticing that Lu Yaoyao's eyes were a little cold, Lu Jing stopped talking. Today, she came to sell a favor to Lu Yaoyao, lest she help Lu Fang, the impure person, without knowing it. At that time, she would become a joke in the capital.
"Liang Chun raised a catamite himself. It's not Lu Fang's fault." Ye Zhen said lightly.
"Although you say that, in the end, she still lost her innocence. Why do you think my mother didn't come out? Isn't it because Lu Fang-er's reputation is completely gone? Not only did she fail to help her, but she also ended up provoking a scandal. You are someone who will soon enter the palace, and your noble status cannot be sullied."
Ye Zhen nodded. "Is this why you came to me today? Are you afraid that I will help Lu Fang and affect my reputation?"
"Aren't you worried?" Lu Jing asked rhetorically.
"If I remember correctly, when you were in trouble, it was she who helped you. Now … Are you adding insult to injury?" Ye Zhen asked lightly.
Lu Jing gritted her teeth. She came here today to say these words. It was to please Lu Yaoyao. She had the hope of the Fifth Prince, but Lu Yaoyao would become the Empress. The Fifth Prince hoped that she could build a good relationship with Lu Yaoyao. For the sake of her favor in the Prince's Mansion, she had to come here.
"I'm doing this for your own good." Lu Jing said.
"Thank you." Ye Zhen looked at her faintly. "The side princess is really thoughtful. You are really an ungrateful wolf."
Lu Jing's face suddenly became livid. "Lu Yaoyao!"
"Hong Ling, see the guest out." Ye Zhen said coldly.
