Last time, Jiujiu had also said that if she found her ideal husband, she would let her go. Thus, in regards to the matter of her leaving the manor, Lu Li was completely confident.
Hearing Lu Li's words, Nan Ke's eyes wavered slightly. A moment later, he said: "Who in this world doesn't know that Pingan Junzhu is unruly and willful? You also saw how she treated me last time. How could such an unreasonable woman let you go? Lu Li, I don't want to make things difficult for you, and I don't want you to be wronged because of me. My heart will ache."
"It's not making things difficult." Lu Li opened her mouth to explain that Jiujiu was not as unreasonable as the rumors said. However, in order to make Nan Ke pity her, Lu Li had already said how Jiujiu mistreated her. If she said that Jiujiu was a good person, wouldn't she be contradicting herself?
Lu Li's heart was filled with unspeakable bitterness. She could only listen to Nan Ke say: "I don't want you to be wronged because of our marriage. Lu Li, do you believe me?"
Lu Li nodded: "Nan Lang, I believe you."
"In less than three years, there will be an army uprising. At that time, the Sui Dynasty will have already lost the hearts of the people because of its tyranny. Lu Li, help me gather information in the manor. When the uprising occurs, it will be the day of our wedding."
Nan Ke looked into Lu Li's eyes and said with a bewitching tone: "Don't you want to marry me in a grand manner?"
Nan Ke used words to describe the beautiful scene: "Ten li of red dowry, the entire capital will know that you are my woman. Lu Li, are you willing to marry me?"
Ten li of red dowry, the scene of everyone in the capital coming to congratulate them was too grand. It was to the point that Lu Li was a bit dazzled. Lu Li looked at Nan Ke in a daze. Her mind struggled with difficulty. After a long time, she said in a low voice: "I am willing."
Seeing Lu Li agree, Nan Ke immediately moved to Lu Li's ear and whispered the information he wanted to obtain.
Hearing so much chaotic news, Lu Li's mind was in chaos for a moment. She only looked at Nan Ke's eyes filled with deep affection. After thinking about them, Lu Li nodded her head.
After sitting in the room for a while and feeling better, Lu Li got up and left.
The two of them originally thought that their plan was flawless and no one knew about it. However, they didn't know that when Egret left, Thirteen also left. The contents of their conversation instantly appeared in front of Jiujiu's desk.
Jiujiu pinched the piece of paper on the table as she looked at the ordinary-looking Thirteen who had no sense of existence. She smiled and said, "Then did Nanke really say that?"
"Yes." Thirteen's voice was as flat as a commoner's.
Jiujiu chuckled: "find some fake information for heron."
Thirteen paused and looked at Jiujiu in confusion, "Princess, why don't you take both of them down?"
Not to mention gathering intelligence, even if the two of them were to talk about the imminent destruction of the Great Sui Dynasty, the two of them would be smashed to pieces.
Jiujiu's eyelids drooped. "I naturally have my reasons for doing so. You just need to listen to my instructions."
Thirteen nodded and got up to leave.
The moment Thirteen left, Jiujiu said, "I will arrange a woman by Nanke's side tomorrow. You keep an eye on both of them. If that woman has disloyal thoughts, just kill her."
"Yes."
In the evening, Lu Li finally returned with osmanthus cakes.
Knowing that she didn't return last night, Lu Li knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness. "Princess, please spare me."
Jiujiu put down the book in her hand and looked at the rosy cheeks of Lu Li who had been moisturized by men. "Why do you say that?"
"Lu Li bought osmanthus cakes for Princess, but who knew that I would be hit by a carriage and sprain my ankle. It was really difficult to walk, so I found an inn to stay for the night. Today, when I felt better, I immediately came back. I hope Princess will forgive Lu Li."
"Since you suffered so much to buy osmanthus cakes for me, what crime have you committed? Get up." Jiujiu motioned for Lu Li to hand over the osmanthus cakes.
Lu Li didn't expect that Jiujiu wasn't angry. Her face was full of shock.
Handing the osmanthus cakes to Jiujiu, Lu Li looked around. When she didn't see Wan Niang, she asked, "Why don't I see Wan Niang today?"
"Wan Niang?" Jiujiu raised her eyebrows. "Yesterday, Wan Niang told me that she found her ideal husband, so I let her go and get married. Why, do you need her for something?"
"Nothing, nothing … …"
Hearing that Jiujiu let Wan Niang go because she found her ideal husband, Lu Li's face instantly showed a regretful expression. She couldn't help but think that if she had told Jiujiu about her and Nanke earlier, would she be the one to go back and get married now?
At night, Wan Niang was escorted by Fifteen to Bi Yun.
Bi Yun's boss had already prepared a room after receiving Jiujiu's message.
After sending Wan Niang there, Fifteen turned and left.
Standing at the window and watching Fifteen leave, Wan Niang's tightly clenched fists loosened. She went out and knocked on Nanke's door.
For half a month, Jiujiu kept Lu Li close by to serve her. Lu Li, who had received the information, was so anxious that she became angry.
A few days ago, she found out everything that Nanke wanted to know. She even stole a map of the border defenses from the study. However, because Wan Niang left, she was the only one left by Jiujiu's side. She didn't have time and couldn't go out.
Jiujiu saw that Lu Li was anxious and angry, but she still ordered her around until the day of the state banquet.
On the other side, the Wan Niang that Jiujiu let go to seduce Nanke was progressing very smoothly.
The identity that Jiujiu gave Wan Niang was the sister of General Li at the border. She followed her brother to the capital to report.
Wan Niang's personality was simple and naive. She would reveal a sincere and naive smile to Nanke. Her eyes were filled with worship. The most fatal thing was that Wan Niang's innocent smile carried a hint of seduction. It was like a poppy flower that bewitched Nanke's heart.
On one side was Jiujiu's servant girl, Lu Li. On the other side was the sister of the general. Whether it was appearance, background, or even personality, Lu Li couldn't compare to Wan Niang. Nanke, who was good at scheming, would naturally choose Wan Niang and not Lu Li, who had given everything to him.
After all, the things that he had Lu Li find were all dangerous. If she wasn't careful, she would lose her life. Rather than waiting for Lu Li, who he didn't hear from for half a month and didn't know if she was dead or alive, it was better to be with Wan Niang, the sister of the general.
Moreover, Wan Niang was so innocent, kind, and cute. Even though he had been with so many women, Nanke still felt like he had met his true love.
And his true love was Wan Niang.
Nanke and Wan Niang admired the flowers in the suburbs. After returning to Biyun, Wan Niang's face revealed a sad expression. She raised her head to look at Nanke and pursed her pink lips. The little mole at the corner of her mouth trembled with her movements. Nanke's heart couldn't help but tremble with it.
Sensing Wan Niang's low mood, Nanke placed his hand on Wan Niang's shoulder and quietly asked, "What's wrong?"
