Chapter 169 Identity
The next day.
Lu Xuan was holding the booklet, comparing each item he wanted to take away with it.
Xiao Kui came in, gritting her teeth: "Princess! You have to intervene in this matter!"
Lu Xuan raised his eyelids and asked, "What happened again?"
Xiao Kui said indignantly, "Yesterday we handled the matter between Manager Ji and that retainer properly on the scene, but guess what happened outside today? Yesterday's incident hasn't been widely reported, but now everyone is talking about your identity, Princess! And those slanderous words from yesterday are getting even more intense!"
"They say you're the daughter of a farmer, and you're just pretending to be the daughter of a general in the Duke's mansion. But you're actually the daughter of the Duke of An's concubine... Anyway, you need to step in and take care of this. Those words make me angry just by mentioning them!"
Xiao Kui clenched his fists, as if he was going to go out and die together with others.
Lu Xuan's body shuddered, a cold light flashed across her eyes. She looked at Sang Luo beside her and said, "Go and call Sister Xu Shu over."
Tit for tat, don't you think she doesn't know how to fight back?!
As he was speaking, Feixing stood outside the door and knocked.
"princess."
Seeing Fei Xing, Lu Xuan felt that it would be better not to implicate innocent people in his affair with Jiang Xing, so he smiled at Fei Xing as if nothing had happened: "What's wrong, Fei Xing?"
Feixing bowed and stood up straight. With a gesture from him, a person slowly walked out.
"The prince ordered me to call Miss Xu here, saying that the princess should be of use!"
He glanced at the servants who were collecting things in the room, his eyes darkened, and the corners of his mouth twitched for a few moments before finally turning into another fist clasped: "Feixing, take your leave."
"and many more."
Lu Xuan called Fei Xing.
She paused and said, "Thank him for me for what happened yesterday."
Even though she said this, the bitterness and sourness in her heart had already grown like wild vines in spring, quickly and tightly wrapping around her heart, squeezing her so tightly that she could hardly breathe.
Feixing smiled and said, "The prince and the princess were originally one, and this is all his own will."
After saying that, Feixing strode away.
Xu Shu looked at Lu Xuan's unusual reaction, then glanced at Fei Xing's back, puzzled: "Today, they said that the prince ordered me to come and see the princess, so why don't I see the prince?"
Lu Xuan lowered his eyes, then smiled faintly: "Sister Xu, when you leave later, if you want to see the prince, you can go and see him on the way. But it just so happens that I just told Sang Luo to go find you."
She led Xu Shu to sit on the pearwood armchair and asked, "Sister Xu, have you heard the rumors about me today?"
Xu Shu's brows were filled with worry, and he nodded: "I heard it, it's all false news, it can be said to be fabricated out of thin air, malicious slander is not an exaggeration!"
He tilted his head and glanced at Lu Xuan cautiously for a few times, then hesitated and said, "Is it a personal grudge?"
Lu Xuan chuckled, "Even Sister Xu noticed it."
Xu Shu asked again: "Yes, a love rival?"
Lu Xuan was speechless, her brows furrowed slightly. "I don't consider that person a love rival, but he is indeed an enemy."
Xu Shu didn't want to say anything more that would upset her, so he patted his chest and said, "I'm afraid you asked me to come here today for this matter, right? Princess, just give your orders. My companions and I will definitely help you avenge your grievances!"
Looking at Xu Shu's righteous look, Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Sister Xu, it's not revenge, it's just an eye for an eye."
As she spoke, she filled Xu Shu's teacup and motioned for her to come closer.
"When you go back today, tell the children this..."
After finishing his words, Xu Shu was already grinning from ear to ear, "Great, it's really great! They've really hit a wall by offending the princess. The Ji family will be furious!"
Sang Luo and Xiao Kui's eyes were tantalized, and they almost wanted to ask Lu Xuan directly what he said. They were both very itchy in their hearts.
Lu Xuan smiled and glanced at them: "Don't worry, you will know what I said this evening."
After seeing Xu Shu off, they had not sat for a while when they heard outside the door that the Duke's wife and Lu Yuehe had arrived.
Xie had also heard the rumors outside early in the morning and was so angry that she almost rushed into the street to tear those people's mouths apart.
The Duke of Anguo and she were deeply in love, but she could not stand her husband's reputation the most, and people still did not let him go until his death.
Fortunately, Lu Yuehe was smart and asked Lu Xiao to find out what happened first and who was instigating it behind the scenes. How could the remarks develop into such an outrageous state?
Finally, I roughly figured out the person behind the scenes and his main purpose.
Seeing Xie and Lu Yuehe, Lu Xuan felt a little guilty and hurried forward to greet them, his face covered with a hint of frustration: "It's my fault. I've implicated my aunt and sister Yuehe, causing you to be caught up in this storm..."
Xie's face was filled with anger until she saw Lu Xuan, and then her anger relaxed a little.
She pulled Lu Xuan's hand worriedly and asked, "Have you been wronged?"
When Lu Xuan heard this, she couldn't help but tear up: "Aunt, you guys are not here to blame me?"
Xie immediately pursed her lips, glared at her, and said, "You suffered such a great bullying, and you didn't even bother to tell your family. Ah Xuan, don't you think of the Duke's Mansion as your own home?"
Lu Xuan hurriedly explained, "No, the prince had already resolved this matter yesterday. I didn't expect the Ji family to still be playing tricks behind the scenes..."
Xie's pupils were filled with chills, and her whole body revealed a majestic and cold sternness that Lu Xuan had not seen for many days: "If they do this, won't our family fight back?!"
She glanced at Lu Xuan and said with concern, "Don't worry about this matter. My aunt has already bribed someone. Let them tell me what happened in the Ji family recently. Let's see how long the Ji family can hide behind the scenes and whether they can still speak nonsense!"
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. I've already bribed some people. The content will be more lethal to them than yours. I believe it will be released this afternoon."
As she spoke, her eyes turned again, as if she had thought of something, and she hurriedly said, "Aunt, please retract the Ji family's remarks as soon as possible!"
"Withdraw?" Xie was puzzled.
Lu Xuan nodded slightly. "Yes, just tell them to just talk about the good deeds done by the Duke's Mansion and not attack us. Otherwise, I'm worried that this will be discovered by the palace and they'll think that our Duke's Mansion is bullying the Ji family. We'll fall into their trap again!"
Xie looked at her deeply and asked, "Are you really going to withdraw?"
Lu Xuan nodded affirmatively.
"The matter I had people spread is of great importance. If the Duke's Mansion is implicated, it will actually benefit them. Therefore, we should just adopt a defensive posture. This is the most appropriate thing to do!"
Lu Yuehe had seen Lu Xuan's intelligence in dealing with various situations, so she quickly pulled Xie aside and said, "Mother, I think my sister really has a plan. We should listen to her, or else the Duke's Mansion will be harmed again."
Xie thought for a moment and looked around again: "Where's Yun Ce? Wasn't he always the most responsive to these things in the past? Why is there no sign of him today?"
Lu Xuan was worried that Xie was going to drag Jiang Xing over, so she hurriedly said, "The prince has put in a lot of effort on this these days, and he might be out right now. Aunt, please go back quickly and tell people to spread the word about the good deeds of the Duke's Mansion. Leave everything else to me!"
Lu Xuan's eyes were uneasy, and he grasped the hem of his clothes helplessly, but he didn't know where to look. He looked quite uneasy.
Seeing her anxiousness, Mrs. Xie thought this was a very important matter, so she said, "Well, after all, you're the one who will suffer the most from this. If the situation changes, remember to inform your family at any time."
After saying this, she looked at her worriedly, reluctantly, and with a hint of doubt for several times before leaving.
……
In the evening, at Ji Mansion.
Ji Qingyan rushed into Danbo Zhai like a madman and tore to pieces the calligraphy and paintings written by Lu Xuan that were hung on the wall by Ji Bozhou.
Ji Bozhou stepped forward to stop them. The two argued endlessly, and then Ji Qingyan said, "The Ji family is finished! It's all your sweetheart's fault! Why don't you just follow me to the main hall!"
