The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 592 Don’t Step Too Much

"Yes... and no." Lu Luo always told Lu Sen what he said. After thinking it over, he told Meng Shisan what he had done after meeting him and explaining Lu Sen's intentions to Meng Shisan. "Brother, the people involved in the collapse of the lantern mountain may be related to your Highness. I think our Lu Mansion should take more initiative."

The only person whom he could simply address as His Highness was naturally their eldest sister's son, the current Second Prince Li Heng.

Regarding the sudden collapse of the mountain of lights at the Bixu Manor on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Sen had allowed Lu Luo to investigate and followed Meng Shisan to help investigate. In fact, he wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly.

But halfway through... he had to retreat.

"I let you investigate at first because I had this idea." Lu Sen said in a deep voice, "When you asked me again later, I stopped you from investigating for a reason. Although Miss Meng is weak, she is very smart. She asked you to ask me, so she probably knows something about it. Ah Luo, it's not that I don't want to investigate, nor that I haven't thought that our Lu Mansion should have more initiative in this incident, but I...we can't take another step."

Lu Luo was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Why is this?"

"When things come to a critical moment, it's like a boat reaching a bridge. It may naturally go straight, or it may directly hit the bridge." Lu Sen answered cryptically.

"Brother is saying..."

"Ah."

Lu Sen didn't let Lu Luo finish his words, but they both understood each other's meaning.

The two brothers fell silent for a moment.

After timely diagnosis and treatment by the imperial physician, it was found that Lu Pingting's whip wounds did not hit her vital parts. Just as Meng Shisan said, although she looked covered in blood, they were actually only superficial injuries.

In short, this time Lu Pingting slapped Meng Meijing, causing Meng Meijing to suffer physical pain, and this time Meng Shisan whipped Lu Pingting, also causing Lu Pingting to suffer only physical pain.

Everything is fine.

After writing the medical record and giving detailed instructions on all matters that needed to be paid attention to, the imperial physician carried the medicine box and went back to the Imperial Hospital.

Neither Su Cui nor Su Ruan dared to be careless. They remembered the imperial physician's medical instructions carefully and followed them without missing a single one.

Wen stayed by the bed, watching Lu Pingting finally fall asleep peacefully after drinking the medicine. She felt distressed and anxious.

The father-in-law is busy with government affairs and basically doesn't care about the legitimate daughter. Although the mother-in-law loves the legitimate daughter, she also listens to her husband. And her husband's words, implicitly, are saying that the legitimate daughter was beaten three times by the eldest lady of the Meng family because she slapped the second lady of the Meng family for no reason.

What he meant was simply that the three whip marks on the legitimate daughter's body were all her own fault!

The legitimate daughter was her flesh and blood that she had given birth to after ten months of pregnancy. Even if she had a bad temper, she would not allow anyone to hurt her daughter in the slightest.

But she is useless!

At this point, she could only watch her daughter lying on the bed covered in wounds, and there was nothing she could do.

If the mother-in-law could make a scene and go to the Empress...

Thinking of this, Wen saw Lu Pingting's eyelashes move. She was delighted and called softly, "Rongrong?" "Mother." Lu Pingting slowly opened her eyes, and the person she saw was her mother, and no one else. "Where's grandma?"

Wen said, "Your grandmother saw that you were finally able to sleep soundly, and the imperial physician also said that you were fine and only needed to stay in bed for a while. She stayed with you until just now before she passed away."

When Lu Pingting heard that Mrs. Jiang had just passed away, she felt disappointed. She thought even her grandmother was going to abandon her, but fortunately that was not the case. Her grandmother still loved her very much.

"Mother, I will go to the palace when I feel better. Please talk to grandmother first and ask her to accompany me to the palace to meet my aunt." Lu Pingting wanted to hold Wen's hand, but as soon as she moved, she pulled the wound on her chest, and the pain made her pull her hand back into the quilt.

This scene was seen by Wen Shi. She stood up anxiously and said, "Don't move! Your mother will go to your grandmother's side and tell you that if you want to see the empress, then go and see her! You don't have to worry that your grandmother will disagree. Your mother will definitely convince your grandmother and make her agree!"

Lu Pingting hummed: "A daughter believes in her mother."

She also believed that her grandmother would definitely accompany her to find her aunt and ask her aunt to help her avenge the three whippings she received today!

Meng Shisan had Chang'an with him, so he woke up earlier than Lu Pingting.

With the help of Shangchun and Baozhu, the incident in which Meng Shisan left the Meng Mansion alone, quietly returned through the back door, and fainted inside the courtyard gate was all suppressed.

Not to mention outside Taichen Courtyard, even inside Taichen Courtyard, few people know about it.

As people outside Taichen Courtyard, Meng Meijing and her servant learned that Meng Shisan needed to rest, so they sat and stood in Mingxiao Hall, waiting for Meng Shisan to regain consciousness.

The first thing Meng Shisan did after waking up was to ask about the current situation in the Meng Mansion: "So, apart from the beautiful scenery and auspiciousness, the fact that I quietly left the mansion, whipped Lu Pingting, and quietly returned to the mansion was not known to other people in the mansion?"

Shangchun said: "That's right."

Baozhu also said, "Miss, the second young lady is still waiting for you in Mingxiao Hall. She said she wants to ask you in person."

"What does she want to ask?" Meng Shisan was sitting at the table in the inner room of the bedroom. While speaking, she glanced at Chang'an who was standing beside her.

Changan understood: "It's all settled."

Meng Shisan nodded, as long as the court judgement was settled.

Shangchun and Baozhu did not follow Meng Shisan out, and they only had a vague understanding of the situation. Now, when they listened to Meng Shisan talking to Chang'an, they were completely confused.

However, they knew what Meng Meijing wanted to ask.

"The second young lady probably wants to ask you why you left the house alone, what you did after leaving the house, and why it was such a coincidence that you were near the Imperial Street." Shangchun roughly summarized these three questions that Meng Meijing might ask.

"The second young lady came to look for you today after you left the house, but you had already left quietly by then. The second young lady couldn't wait for you to come back, so she took Jixiang out with her." Baozhu explained why Meng Meijing and her servant were near the Imperial Street. "After the second young lady caught you who fainted, Jixiang told me that the second young lady took her to the gold and jade shop on the Imperial Street to buy you a set of ruby ​​head ornaments!"

Meng Shisan thought about it and said, "I remember... Meijing always overspent her monthly salary. She would spend all her money before the payment date. Where did she get so much money to buy me a set of expensive ruby ​​headpieces?"

Baozhu quickly answered her doubts: "Jixiang said that the second young lady took out all the jewelry that could be pawned. She said that she wanted to sell the whole box for money to buy the young lady that expensive ruby ​​headpiece!"
