Chapter 118 The Disabled General's Forced Love 13
Lu Jingxuan said he wanted to meet Chu Shiyan, and they really just met briefly.
The two of them, one sitting in a wheelchair and the other sitting at the table, just stared at each other.
Apart from Lu Huaiyuan saying a few words from time to time, the atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while.
However, Lu Jingxuan still had memorials to review, so he prepared to return to the palace after a short while.
Before leaving, he glanced at Luo Qi who was following Lu Huaiyuan, and still plucked up the courage to speak.
Although Lu Huaiyuan didn't know his true thoughts, he had no intention of refusing since the other party's reasons were legitimate.
So in the end, Lu Jingxuan happily led Luo Qi and Eunuch Li out of the Regent's Palace.
If Luo Qi goes to protect Lu Jingxuan, then naturally someone else will take care of the matters concerning Lu Huaiyuan.
"Shadow One."
Lu Huaiyuan spoke slowly, his voice unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.
The other party responded and appeared beside him: "Master."
Unlike Luo Qi, he is a secret guard protecting Lu Huaiyuan and rarely appears in public.
But the other party is not here now, so he has to take care of Lu Huaiyuan's affairs.
Yingyi stood in front of Lu Huaiyuan, without moving, waiting quietly for his instructions.
Lu Huaiyuan tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his expression unclear.
"Go check what happened recently in Chu Shiyan's yard."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Yingyi: "Focus on checking those maids. I want to check every detail. Do you understand?"
Ying nodded and saluted: "Yes, I understand."
Lu Huaiyuan waved his hand, signaling the other party to retreat.
When he went to Chu Shiyan's yard just now, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Although everything seemed fine on the surface, he had a feeling that the truth would not be that simple.
-----------------
Because of the visit of Lu Huaiyuan and Lu Jingxuan, the servants have restrained themselves.
But since it has already happened, there must be traces to follow.
Therefore, Yingyi acted quickly and had a thorough understanding of the matter in just half a day.
After listening to his narration, Lu Huaiyuan's face couldn't help but darken.
He threw the object that Ying Yi had placed on the table to the ground in front of the desk.
"Cao Weide, look, is this the good thing you arranged?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Weide no longer cared about anything else. He fell to his knees with a thud and quickly confessed his guilt: "It was all my negligence, it was all my negligence! I beg Your Highness to punish me!"
Lu Huaiyuan ignored him, just breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed the anger in his heart.
He knew that Chu Shiyan was not someone who would allow himself to be bullied.
Things have developed to this point. Without the other party's connivance, those servants would never dare to be so arrogant.
After all, Chu Shiyan's blackening value of 97 is no joke.
But even though he indulges them, the Regent's Palace will not tolerate their servants doing anything rash!
Thinking of this, Lu Huaiyuan tapped the table with his fingers, his expression cold: "Deal with those servants involved, and sell off those who should be sold off."
"My Regent Palace is small and cannot accommodate so many large Buddha statues."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Cao Weide: "As for you, I'll fine you one month's salary, and this won't happen again."
Cao Weide kowtowed quickly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your mercy! Thank you, Your Highness, for your mercy!"
As he spoke, he did not forget to express his determination: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely handle this matter well."
Lu Huaiyuan waved his hand: "Alright, get up."
He paused for a moment and then said, "However, since you have nothing to do now, please accompany me to see this young General Chu."
Cao Weide and Ying nodded and said in unison, "Yes."
-----------------
After nightfall, at dinner time, figures were moving around in Chu Shiyan's courtyard.
It took a while before everything calmed down.
After the servants finished their work, seeing that Chu Shiyan didn't say anything, they left the room one by one as usual.
They stood in the yard, glancing into the house from time to time, then turned around and said something to the people around them.
After an unknown amount of time, a woman in a pink dress came from outside the yard.
"Why, he didn't eat again?" She walked over to the group of servants and asked.
The little maid nodded: "Yeah, it's still the same."
The pink-dressed woman, Bizhi, snorted softly and sneered, "You don't know how to appreciate my kindness!"
As she spoke, she was about to go into the house, but was stopped by the little maid beside her.
"Sister Bizhi, the prince just came today. If something happens... please don't act impulsively!"
Lu Huaiyuan's sudden visit today made many of them feel panicked.
Bizhi was a little disdainful when she heard this: "What are you afraid of? The prince's visit today is purely a coincidence. This man is just a prisoner sent by Anguo. How can the prince really value him?"
"Besides, he himself didn't want to use these things. It's not us who are mistreating him. There's nothing to be afraid of."
After she finished speaking, she ignored these people and walked straight into the house.
Bizhi entered the mansion much earlier than them and was considered a "leader" among the group. Seeing that they couldn't stop her, the others didn't say much, but they all looked a little worried.
On the other side, a number of plates were placed on the table in the room.
The food on top has not been touched yet, but it looks rich and exquisite.
But at this time, the dinner on the table must have already gone cold.
Chu Shiyan sat at the table, his chin in his hand, his eyes empty, not knowing what he was thinking.
Bizhi walked in and took a look at the dinner that still hadn't been eaten. Her face was cold as ice and she was furious in her heart.
"You really are precious," she glanced at Chu Shiyan and said sarcastically, "You have a good dinner to eat, why are you pretending to be so noble?"
"Why, do you want to complain to the prince, saying that our servants abused you? Or do you want to use this to attract the prince's attention?"
Bizhi curled her lips, and disdain was almost overflowing from her eyes.
She knew from a young age that she was beautiful, and later she went to work in these wealthy families with the goal of becoming a concubine.
After all, if she could become a master from a slave overnight, wouldn't her life for the rest of her life be guaranteed?
After entering the Regent's Palace, she unexpectedly saw the handsome and extraordinary 'Lu Huaiyuan', and her thoughts became even more serious.
However, the palace was strictly managed, and Lu Huaiyuan did not allow outsiders to get close.
She had no choice but to hide her little thoughts and endured in the mansion for five years before she climbed up step by step to her current position.
She originally thought that even if she couldn't be transferred to Lu Huaiyuan's side, she could at least get in touch with him.
But unexpectedly, before she even met this person, she was sent to take care of such a disabled person.
It would be fine if he was just a cripple, but he was also a general of Anguo. How could she be willing to do that?
Moreover, she had been planning for such a long time, and had basically pinned all her future and hopes on Lu Huaiyuan. Now that she had ended up with such a result, how could she be willing to accept it?
In addition, the sudden visit of Lu Huaiyuan and Lu Jingxuan this afternoon almost led to the discovery of their private dealings. Naturally, she became more and more displeased with Chu Shiyan.
Bizhi was already full of resentment, and now seeing Chu Shiyan acting as if it had nothing to do with her, she became even more furious.
"You're just a cripple, do you really think you're some kind of general? You're just a prisoner of my Chen Kingdom. The prince is kind enough to give you a meal, and you're still acting like that. Do you really think you're that important?"
