Lu Zheng recalled the scene just now and couldn't help but sneer, "What? That person is just a useless piece of trash. Did you see anything?"
Lu Xi said, "When I was caught, I wasn't locked in a corner or a warehouse. Instead, I was locked in a small room next to the flower hall. That was strange enough. Although he teased Fu Xue, he was mostly leading her to talk. In order to seduce him, Fu Xue said all kinds of things she shouldn't say. In the end, she even threw herself into his arms. However, Young Master Wan didn't take the bait. He even scolded her. "
Lu Zheng paused and whispered, "You know everything?"
"Yes, Young Master. I misunderstood you earlier. You've gone through a lot of trouble for me. It's my fault. " Lu Xi pursed his lips in regret and took a deep breath, "It's all thanks to that Young Master Wan that I was able to see Fu Xue's character. So I guess Young Master Wan knows that I'm your servant. That's why he purposely showed off in order to gain some benefits and make it easier to talk business in the future. "
After all, it wasn't convenient for Lu Zheng to talk about this kind of thing. If he didn't see it with his own eyes, Lu Xi wouldn't believe it either. With this matter, Lu Zheng's dilemma was solved and the gap between the master and servant was completely eliminated.
Lu Zheng couldn't help but think.
"How can that mediocre person be so smart?" No matter how he thought about it, it didn't seem like it. "It's probably a blind cat running into a dead mouse."
Lu Xi thought for a moment, "It could be a coincidence. Just by looking at his absurdity, this person isn't outstanding. Young Master wants to talk business with the Wan family. I'm afraid you'll have to re-test what kind of family the Wan family is. "
Lu Zheng smiled, "It doesn't matter what kind of family they are. We're only in charge of doing business. What does their life and death have to do with us?"
"That's true." Lu Xi couldn't help but smile. He followed Lu Zheng back to the manor in the night.
The relationship between the master and servant for many years didn't decrease after this incident. Instead, it deepened.
As for Fu Xue, who was left at the dock, the two tacitly didn't mention her.
Fu Xue's character wasn't good. She used Lu Xi and was fickle. She even tried to climb into Lu Zheng's bed. But in the end, there was no need to take Fu Xue's life for these things. Selling her to the brothel was the result of Lu Zheng's anger. His main purpose was to prevent Lu Xi from marrying such a woman.
Now that Lu Xi had seen through Fu Xue's character, Lu Zheng's purpose had been achieved. He was too lazy to care about a little girl.
As for the fact that this woman had been redeemed by the Wan Clan's Young Master, she was most likely a servant of the Wan Clan. If Lu Zheng ignored her, there was a high chance that she would escape.
Lu Xi didn't want to kill Fu Xue. He just didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore.

In the county jail of Danzhou Prefecture.
Walking at the end of the line with his hands folded, Grand Tavernkeeper Yuan watched the guards of the Lu Clan and the jailers exchange tasks.
The jailer was a burly man in his early forties. He had been yawning in dissatisfaction when he was woken up in the middle of the night, but when he saw Great Shopkeeper Yuan, he immediately became energetic.
"So it's Great Shopkeeper Yuan. Does Young Master Lu have any orders? Do you want me to entertain this group of insensible people? "
Great Shopkeeper Yuan smiled. "These people offended Young Master, but Young Master is merciful and didn't order to punish them. But I personally think that although he didn't punish them, these people are really too hateful … "
"Yes. Now that you've put it that way, I immediately understand. Just wait and see. Although he didn't punish them, he won't let them off easily. "
"You're a sensible man." Great Shopkeeper Yuan patted the jailer's shoulder. "By the way, there's a stunning beauty in there. That person can't be touched. Do you understand?"
The jailer's face turned cold. He nodded repeatedly and patted his chest to assure, "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person.
Young Master Lu, I definitely don't dare to touch her. "
Then he leaned closer to Great Shopkeeper Yuan, raised his thick eyebrows, and said sneakily, "That beauty, is Young Master Lu, or you … hehe."
Great Shopkeeper Yuan laughed. "Don't ask."
"Oh. Don't worry. "Now that the jailer knew what was going on, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.
Great Shopkeeper Yuan was a favorite of Young Master Lu. He was in the prime of his life and had a promising future. What kind of beauty couldn't he want? He had never seen Great Shopkeeper Yuan deliberately take care of anyone before. If Young Master Lu had taken a fancy to a beauty, he could have gotten her with just a wave of his finger. Why would he send her to prison?
Therefore, this woman might not have been taken a fancy by Young Master Lu, but by Yuan Yujiang himself.
He wanted to see what kind of stunning beauty she was.
The jailer blew his nose outside the door, wiped his hand on the bottom of his trousers, and strode into the prison.
Great Shopkeeper Yuan curled his lips as he watched. He stood where he was with his hands folded, not leaving immediately.
Qin Yining was held in Pang Xiao's arms, and they stepped into the dark and damp corridor side by side.
The air was damp and moldy, accompanied by an unknown stench. There were prisoners in the cells on both sides, and men and women were mixed together.
Seeing that there were newcomers, pairs of dirty and skinny hands reached out of the wooden bars, making threatening gestures like ghost claws. Many people were wailing, "We've been wronged."
The kitchen maid and the kitchen maid who came with them were so scared that their faces turned pale, and they screamed again and again.
Pang Xiao held Qin Yining's shoulder with his big hands, and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid. What's there to be afraid of? "Qin Yining whispered back.
"Hurry up and go! What are you waiting for! "
The jailer scolded and gave Pang Xiao a hard push. Who would have thought that this push didn't cause Pang Xiao to fall down as he had expected. Instead, the jailer's own finger rubbed against Pang Xiao's shoulder. The pain made him suck in a breath of cold air.
Pang Xiao ignored the people behind him, and walked straight ahead with Qin Yining in his arms.
At the end of the corridor, there was a small window on the wall, and a strong wooden bar was nailed to it. There was a torch stuck in the bottom.
Turning left, they saw a row of empty cells.
The jailer pointed to the first cell, "You guys, go in."
Huzi, a few Jinghu Wei, and the boatmen on the boat obediently walked in.
In the second cell, the jailer pushed the kitchen maid, Bing Tang, Ji Yun, and the other women, "Go in, go in." He then went to pull Qin Yining.
Pang Xiao raised his arm, and blocked the jailer's hand, "Who are you to touch my woman?"
"Hey! Where do you think this is? You're already in prison, and you still dare to stick out your waist in front of me! This woman is your woman, and I'll take good care of her later! You … "
The jailer raised his hand to grab Qin Yining's hand.
Qin Yining felt a strong sense of malice, and she looked back coldly at the jailer.
Her face turned cold, and her eyes were as sharp as a bird of prey. She was beautiful, but it made the jailer stop in his tracks, and the words he was about to say were suddenly stuck in his throat.
Did he encounter some kind of demon?!
The female ghosts and demons that the storyteller spoke of were all like this. They looked like beauties, but when they turned around, they wanted to eat people!
Pang Xiao originally had a stomach full of anger, but when he saw his wife stare at the jailer, who was courting death, he immediately felt better.
Sister Yi was soft and obedient in front of him, like a little white rabbit, but she was always so fierce in front of outsiders. With such a strong contrast in treatment, as long as he thought about how Qin Yining cared about him, no matter how bad his mood was, it would immediately improve.
While the jailer was still in a daze, Pang Xiao and Qin Yining had already entered the same cell.
The jailer snapped out of his daze, and spat out a mouthful of cold air. He grabbed a chain and locked the cell door.
At this time, the jailer strode in with a lantern, and looked around, looking for the stunning beauty that Shopkeeper Yuan had mentioned.
She wasn't in the womenfolk's cell, so it was obvious that she was in the womanizer's arms, but her face couldn't be seen clearly.
"Who told you to lock people up like this?" The jailer kicked the jailer's butt.
The jailer felt very wronged, but he didn't dare to refute, so he could only squeeze out a smile.
The jailer raised the lantern high, and leaned close to the cell door to size up Qin Yining. With one look, the jailer came to a realization.
She really was a beauty, no wonder Yuan Yujiang had specially instructed her. She was sent by the Lu family, so they didn't dare to act rashly, otherwise …
"Open the door, lock this woman up alone over there." The jailer pointed to the opposite cell.
When the jailer heard this, he hesitated. He was a little afraid of this woman. However, after being glared at by the jailer, he immediately trotted forward to do as he was told.
Everyone looked at the jailer. Bing Tang and Ji Yun were very nervous, and Huzi's fists were clenched so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard.
The jailer opened the door and came in to capture Qin Yining.
How could Pang Xiao let him touch Qin Yining? He raised his leg and kicked the jailer's abdomen, causing him to stagger back a few steps and fall on his butt.
"Ouch!" The jailer clutched his stomach and cried out in pain. "You pretty boy, how dare you!"
The jailer was also stunned by this person's sudden action. After a long while, he scolded, "How dare you behave so atrociously in here? I'm afraid you don't want to get out!"
Pang Xiao put one hand on his waist, and the other hand protected Qin Yining behind him. "I advise you to think carefully! I'm the young master of the Wan family, and I came to Danzhou Prefecture to discuss business with Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng locked me up because of a misunderstanding, and he wants to let me out for business! If you dare to lay a finger on any one of us, Lu Zheng will skin all of you alive! "
"You!" The jailer glared. For a moment, he didn't know how to refute. Subconsciously, he felt that this person was right.
After all, Great Shopkeeper Yuan said that Young Master Lu didn't order them to take special care of these people. It was also Great Shopkeeper Yuan who said to take good care of them.
Moreover, Great Shopkeeper Yuan had feelings for this woman, and he wasn't sure if Young Master Lu would allow it. If he acted on his own initiative and offended someone, it would be bad for him in the future.
Thinking of this, the jailer spat fiercely and walked out with the lantern.
"Don't give them food and drink. Starve them for three days, and I'll see if they can still be stubborn!"
