Ambitious Favored Consort: How To Become A Wangfei

Chapter 43: New Year

Soon after Tang Shishi left, Zhao Chengjun also left. The upper floor was half empty in an instant, leaving only Zhao Zixun and Lu Yufei sitting in the partitioned area.

Lu Yufei moved her fingers and winked at her dowry maid. The maid knew it well and led the others to leave quietly.

Lu Yufei hesitated for a long time, thinking about what to say, "Shizi."

"What's the matter?"

"I went to Yichun pavilion today because I saw a secret letter. I was afraid that something might happen, so I set a trap just in case. But I dare to promise that all my actions are for the sake of Jing Wang's mansion. If Shizi doesn't believe me, I can swear."

"I believe you." Zhao Zixun looked down and said, "You are the Shizi Consort chosen by father. Of course, everything is good. I understood all these things. You don't have to explain them specifically."

Lu Yufei let out a long sigh of relief. She paused and asked in a low voice, "Shizi, I meant to catch the spy. I didn't expect it to be Miss Tang who pushed the door. Will Miss Tang be..."

"She?" Zhao Zixun laughed, which sounded very indifferent, "It won't be her."

"But that place is so secluded, and Miss Tang came alone. If she didn't see the secret letter, how did she find the place?"

"It won't be her." Zhao Zixun was very firm as before, resolute and decisive, "Although your plan was a secret, it's hard to guarantee there will be no oversight in between. The other party will calculate it too, and it's possible to deliberately stir the muddy water. But no matter who the spy is, it won't be Tang Shishi. How can she have that brain?"

After hearing Zhao Zixun's reply, Lu Yufei's face was inexplicably difficult to look at. She smiled stiffly, "Shizi is right. After all, Miss Tang is the maid of Wangye, and Wangye always has regulations in his nature. If it weren't for Miss Tang, then why didn't the owner of the secret letter come? Or she was here, but was caught by something?"

Zhao Zixun's face was indifferent, "I don't know this either. This is a matter of the outer courtyard, and my father will investigate it. It's enough for you to manage your own internal affairs, and don't meddle in others."

Zhao Zixun's tone did not sound peculiar, but the implied meaning was still strange. Lu Yufei's heart was heavy, and carefully looked at Zhao Zixun's complexion, "Shizi said as if it was me who has overstepped. Shizi, I was shocked when I found the letter in beauty Zhou's room at first, for fear that it would make Shizi unhappy. I don't know why no one came today, and it was very fortunate that this person is not beauty Zhou."

Zhao Zixun stared at the stage below. At this time, there was a fire shot out from the stage, and the scene suddenly became lively. Initially, Lu Yufei was waiting nervously for Zhao Zixun's reply but was interrupted by the fire scene. Lu Yufei looked back at the stage, and naturally, the topic just now was dropped.

Lu Yufei was very regretful. Obviously, the fish has taken the bait but ran away abruptly. Next time, she did not know when she would have such a good opportunity again.

To make matters worse, Zhao Zixun seemed to be dissatisfied with her. At this time, Lu Yufei did not take it too seriously as she thought that Zhao Zixun just could not pull it off for a while.

She was only a concubine, how much sincerity there could be. Plus, Zhou Shunhua was suspected to be a spy from Jinling. Lu Yufei did not believe that Zhou Shunhua could continue to be favored.

In the study room, Liu Ji brought a cup of tea to Zhao Chengjun. Zhao Chengjun was pressing his eyebrows and said, "It's too noisy just now. I can finally be quiet for a while."
