Chapter 154 Come back early
During this process, even when a servant came to report that Liu Yu had just broken into the orchid-growing area and made a commotion in the yard, Zhang Mengdie gritted her teeth and endured it.
Time passed in a flash, and three hours were soon up. At the last moment, Liu Yu stopped his movements, and as if turning decay into magic, the crack on the mouth of the sweet white glaze porcelain bottle seemed to have never appeared.
It's simply divine.
Zhang Mengdie solemnly took the sweet white glaze porcelain bottle handed to her by Liu Yu, carefully held it in her arms, and looked at Liu Yu with a little more respect: "Thank you!"
"No need." Seeing that the time was up, Liu Yu instructed Guyu to pick up the tools they brought on the table, and she also picked up the Phalaenopsis beside her: "Ms. Zhang, thank you for your reluctance to give up this plate of Phalaenopsis. I will definitely take good care of this plate of Phalaenopsis. You just said that your grandfather will be back at this time, so I won't stay any longer, so as not to run into him later. I'll leave first." Her thought at the moment was to leave Zhang's house first.
Zhang Mengdie nodded. She had the same idea: "Okay, but Grandfather won't be that quick. You don't have to worry too much. I'll have someone take you out."
She instructed her personal maid to take Liu Yu and the other two out of the yard and walked quickly towards the gate.
They didn't know that some things often happen contrary to people's wishes. Zhang Mengdie thought that her grandfather should still be on the road, but at this moment, he had already got off the carriage and walked into the Zhang Mansion.
Zhang Lianci recalled the news he had just received, that his eldest son from the concubine's family had been secretly detained by Mr. Chen San and the Imperial Guards. He also recalled the songs he heard in the streets when he came back, as well as the questions he had received from the emperor at the morning court two days ago, asking him to take charge of the government of the court. He found it very strange at the time.
It was just a suspicion before, but now it seems that the Heavenly Family has already taken action.
But there was no news from the people he had arranged in the palace.
He had seen Mr. Chen San's methods of interrogating people. The situation was urgent, so he had to rescue the eldest son of the concubine's family first to avoid him saying anything that shouldn't be said.
Having made up his mind, Zhang Lianci changed direction and went to Zhang Mengdie's yard.
Liu Yu, led by his maid, was about to reach the gate. As long as the two groups of people entering and leaving turned a corner, Zhang Lianci and Liu Yu would meet face to face.
Zhang Lianci walked quickly around the corner and cast a sharp gaze at the person coming towards him.
When Zhang Mengdie's personal maid saw Zhang Lianci coming towards her, she was so scared that she fell to her knees and begged, "Old Master, the girl did this because she wanted to make you happy. Please forgive her!"
"What are you talking about?" Zhang Lianci's eyes became unusually sharp when he heard the maid's inexplicable plea for mercy.
Maid Zhang Mengdie didn't think twice before blurting out: "I brought it here..."
The maid's voice stopped abruptly, and she stared blankly at the empty space behind her. There was no trace of Liu Yu and the others.
"What did you bring out?" Zhang Lianci's chilling voice rang out again.
Although Zhang Mengdie's maid didn't know how Liu Yu and the others managed to disappear out of thin air, but now that things had turned around, she absolutely could not expose herself and bring trouble to the girl.
She quickly thought of a solution and immediately replied, "It's a cat, yes, it's a cat. The girl saved a cat, but she was afraid that the old master would be unhappy, so she ordered the servant to send it away."
"Where's the cat?"
"Run away." The maid blurted out.
Zhang Lianci didn't have time to argue with a maid about these useless things, so he said, "Don't let your girl touch those dirty things in the future." Then he walked towards Zhang Mengdie's yard.
Zhang Mengdie's personal maid quickly got up and followed, but before leaving, she looked back in confusion as to why the Chen family members had disappeared.
.........
She would never have thought that one stick of incense had passed.
Outside Zhang's house.
Mr. Chen San, who had been waiting outside for a whole day, looked at Zhang Lianci who had hurried back to the gate of Zhang's house. For some reason, he felt a sudden panic in his heart.
Although she deliberately concealed from him the reason for coming to Zhang's Mansion, he knew her well. If it wasn't something important, she would not put herself in danger and come to Zhang's Mansion in person, and she would not refuse to tell him the truth.
He stared at Zhang Lianci as he walked into the mansion, thought for a moment, and ordered Feng Xiao outside the carriage: "Go in from the back, no matter what Yu'er is doing, bring her out first."
Feng Xiao got the order, jumped off the carriage, turned around and found the back door, and jumped into the backyard of Zhang's house. He found Zhang Mengdie's yard and happened to see Liu Yu being brought out by a maid. He wanted to warn her, but he knew that as long as he showed up, things would develop in an uncontrollable direction.
He had no choice but to hide himself and follow them towards the door.
Just when Liu Yu and Zhang Lianci were about to meet, Feng Xiao was the first to spot Zhang Lianci coming out of the gate. He didn't care about anything else and immediately appeared, quickly grabbed Liu Yu and jumped out over the wall. Grandma Kui followed closely behind, holding Guyu's waist and flew out of Zhang's house.
By the time Liu Yu could see her surroundings clearly, she had already been stuffed into the carriage by Feng Xiao. However, when she thought of Zhang Lianci's figure that had just flashed by, she secretly said that it was a close call. But then she remembered something and her face suddenly changed. She didn't even have time to say hello to Master Chen San. She immediately lifted the carriage curtain and shouted to Feng Xiao:
"Hurry, go, go back home immediately."
"Listen to Yu'er." Mr. Chen San ordered.
After a while, the carriage disappeared near Zhang's house and rushed towards Chen's house.
Liu Yu let out a long breath, and under the gaze of Mr. Chen San, he took out a scroll wrapped in yellow brocade from his arms and handed it to him.
Mr. Chen's face changed. He looked at Liu Yu and asked seriously, "Did you get this from Zhang's house?"
He had seen this scroll before, and it was the royal edict.
Liu Yu nodded, raised his chin, and motioned for Mr. Chen San to open it.
Mr. Chen San threw her aside, grabbed Liu Yu's wrist, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly with both hands. His voice was more frightened than ever before: "Are you stupid? What is the Zhang Mansion? Do you know that once you are discovered, you can't come back, do you know that?"
Liu Yu smiled and patted his arm, which was choking him: "I have you here! You will protect me."
Hearing that she was still joking, Master Chen's face became more serious: "I'm telling you the truth, don't put yourself in danger in the future. No matter how precious something is, it is not as important as you to me."
Liu Yu looked at Mr. Chen San with surprise. These words were not something that Mr. Chen San would say. In her impression, he had always been a very disciplined person. He was patient and restrained in his feelings and rarely showed his emotions, let alone said such love words.
He is very different today!
However, compared to investigating his changes now, the things at hand are more important.
"Third Master, you know what, the thing in your hand is really more important than me." She picked up the scroll he had thrown into the corner and opened it herself.
