Chapter 369 Seduction
After a while, an old maid in dark purple brocade clothes came into the inner hall. This was Li Lanchun's wet nurse and her personal maid, known as Nanny Fu, who was quite respectable in the mansion.

When Granny Jia saw her, she also greeted her with a smile, "Old sister, why did you come here in person? Is there anything important that Grandma wants to tell you?"

Nanny Fu said nothing when she heard this. She just raised her eyes and looked at Qin Xiaoning who was sitting at the top. She said in a calm voice, "May the princess be well."

He said he was greeting, but his attitude and tone were full of displeasure.

Because she was Li Lanchun's right-hand man, Qin Xiaoning nodded slightly at her and asked again, "Sister-in-law, is there something going on and you can't come?"

Aunt Fu nodded, without a trace of smile on her face, and replied in a wooden tone: "Of course there is something wrong."

She looked at Qin Xiaoning and asked, "Princess, have you heard about what happened in Zhilan Residence last night?"

Qin Xiaoning paused for a moment, then asked, "Mammy, you are talking about the trouble caused by the little maid in the eldest master's study, right?"

"That's right." Seeing Qin Xiaoning speak so bluntly, Nanny Fu curled her lips and replied, "I didn't expect that the princess, who had just entered the palace, was so sharp-eyed and perceptive about these things."

This statement is disrespectful and even provocative.

Even Granny Jia couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "Everyone in the mansion knows about this. Even I've heard about it."

Madam Fu glanced at Madam Jia calmly, and then said to herself, "Our grandmother has always been in harmony with the eldest young master. Although the eldest grandmother has not given birth to a son for him in all these years, he has never complained. But some ignorant little hoofs want to take advantage of this opportunity to get close to the eldest young master. If I find out who is behind this, I, an old woman, will fight her to the death even if I have to risk my life."

Nanny Fu was about to say something, but her face turned pale and her lips trembled slightly.

Granny Jia saw this and hurried forward to pat her back, and said hurriedly: "Old sister, please don't get angry about this. There are always the most people who want to get close to the master in this noble family. Our family tradition is clean and upright, which is still good. In those wealthy families outside, any pretty maidservants will rack their brains to climb into the master's bed. Oh, it's all because of these little hooves who are shallow-minded and ignorant. Please don't get angry and hurt yourself."

"Humph! I don't believe that this little bitch would have the guts to do this without someone to back her up." Aunt Fu's shoulders trembled with anger. "I must get to the bottom of this matter. Once I catch the person behind the scenes, I will go back to the Duke's wife. I don't believe that the Lu family will tolerate these people using such despicable means against our eldest grandmother."

"Old sister, please don't be angry." Aunt Fu kept making indirect accusations, and it was only after Grandma Jia had persuaded her that she sent the person away.

The old woman suspected that Qin Xiaoning had instructed Fuling.

After the people left, Songzhi couldn't help but said angrily, "This eldest lady seems to understand, but she is actually a confused person. Fuling just left our yard. Did she want to implicate you when she seduced the eldest master? Look at this Aunt Fu, her words and deeds all imply that you instructed Fuling. There is no evidence, and she is accusing people for no reason."

In fact, Qin Xiaoning was also angry about this.

Who wants to be wrongly accused for no reason? "There's no point getting angry. This is how it is in a wealthy family. There will always be right and wrong." Qin Xiaoning said with a wry smile.

Songzhi frowned and said, "Are we going to fulfill this wish in vain?" She advised Qin Xiaoning, "You'd better go and talk to Grandma clearly."

"You can't keep your cool now?" Qin Xiaoning smiled faintly: "This matter cannot be explained clearly. If the sister-in-law is a smart person, she will naturally be able to figure it out. If she is confused, even if I have a hundred mouths, I can't explain it clearly."

As they were talking, Granny Jia sent Nanny Fu away and came back. Before she could say anything, Qin Xiaoning said, "Since Sister-in-law can't come today, I'll go back first."

Granny Jia smiled awkwardly: "Since you are here, why don't I bring you the account book so you can take a look at it first? It would be a shame to make a wasted trip."

"No." Qin Xiaoning said, "I've already agreed with my sister-in-law that I'll learn with her. Since she's not here today, I'll come over another day."

Having said that, Qin Xiaoning said goodbye to Grandma Jia and left the conference hall with Song Zhi. The stewards in the corridor didn't know that the grandmother would not come today, so they were still waiting with their hands down. When they saw Qin Xiaoning come out, everyone's eyes were focused on her again. Qin Xiaoning still politely nodded slightly to everyone, then slowly walked down the stairs and left the yard.

When they returned to Qingsong Garden, Si'er said that the Lai mother had moved away. She kept complaining at the beginning, until she was given a few taels of silver as Qin Xiaoning instructed, and then she shut up in dissatisfaction. Si'er kept talking, and Qin Xiaoning just laughed it off.

The new emperor is about to get married, and the palace has been very busy recently. When Lu Ji returned, it was already late at night.

At night, the autumn wind was getting colder, and the fallen leaves were rustling. He dismounted at the gate, raised his hand to throw the reins to the servant, and then hurried back to Qingsong Garden. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Songzhi Hou in the corridor. Lu Ji took two steps at a time and went up the stairs. Before he could speak, Songzhi couldn't wait to tell him what happened today.

Fuling seduces the eldest son. Fuling's mother comes to Qingsongyuan to make trouble early in the morning. The manager of the courtyard does nothing. When she goes to the meeting room, she is insulted by Aunt Fu.
Lu Ji listened to Song Zhi's chattering and became so angry that his clenched fists started to creak.

He forced himself to calm down and pushed the door into the inner room. The room was dim and there was a small lamp on the table for him. Lu Ji tiptoed to the bedside. The little woman was sleeping soundly with only her fluffy little head exposed under the quilt.

Her fair little face was flushed, and I don’t know if she had a sweet dream or something, but there seemed to be a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Having suffered so much injustice during the day, she could still sleep so well.

How heartless.

Lu Ji frowned as he looked at his little wife, and as he looked at her, his brows unconsciously relaxed.

She is so beautiful, so beautiful that it seems that the hardships and difficulties in this world can never affect her.

Lu Ji took off his clothes and threw them aside, then carefully lifted the quilt and lay down. The little woman finally moved. She turned around habitually and slid into his arms, rubbing against him like a cat. Without even opening her eyelids, she only mumbled, "You're back." Then she fell into his arms and fell asleep sweetly again.
