Chongfei Manual

Chapter 53

After Wei Luo wrote down a few words, she placed the note inside an envelope and sealed the envelope with red ink paste. She called Jin Lu to her side, "Deliver this letter to a servant girl from the western courtyard, then have her give it to Li Xiang."

After Wei Luo said this, she thought about it again and repeatedly warned Jin Lu, "Actually, don't personally send the letter. Borrow one of Yu Rong's personal servant girls. Tell her that I don't have enough servants here and ask her to send the letter. After you hand the letter to Yu Rong's personal servant girl, don't do anything else. Just come back here."

She had a good relationship with Liang Yu Rong and it was only servant girl, so she was sure that Liang Yu Rong would definitely lend her one.

Even if Liang Yu Rong knew her plan, she was sure that she wouldn't do anything without first asking her why. They had a mutual understanding and affection from many years of being as close as sisters.

Jin Lu nodded her to show her agreement, turned around, and left the room.

After Li Xiang received the letter, her first reaction would be to ask which servant girl had delivered the letter. If she found out that it was Wei Luo's servant girl, she would definitely think something was wrong and wouldn't fall for her trap. However, it wouldn't be the same if Liang Yu Rong's servant girl delivered the letter. That letter was written with Liang Yu's handwriting. It wouldn't be convenient for Liang Yu to send her a letter, so it would be justifiable for him to have his younger sister's personal servant girl deliver a letter for him.

It would still be okay if this didn't fool Li Xiang. She had other methods she could try during the banquet.

A short time later, Jin Lu returned to Wei Luo's room and reassured her that she had properly finished her task.

At western courtyard, Li Xiang was sitting on a rosewood couch and leaning against a bright red pillow that was embroidered with flowers. She took the envelope that her servant girl her had brought her, opened the envelope with curiosity, and read the letter.

The writer of the letter invited her to meet him by the rear courtyard's lakeside after the banquet. Marquis Ping Yuan's heir, Liang Yu, signed the letter. She was extremely surprised. She couldn't help but think about the young man she had seen during the day. She hadn't been able to get rid of the image of his elegant and yingwu (valiant) figure from her mind.

In the letter, Liang Yu wrote that he admired her beauty. She didn't feel the slightest amount of suspicious about this part. Li Xiang had confidence in her appearance. She had inherited Elder Princess Gao Yang's beauty. Her skin was as milky as cream and her teeth were white and straight. She had received a lot of praise and approval since she was a child about her appearance. So, she wasn't surprised that Liang Yu could fall in love with her at first sight.

But, for him to send her a letter without careful consideration, wasn't this too abrupt? As it turns out, did he also notice her when she was looking at him with interest?

Li Xiang carefully thought about this. Just in case someone was trying to trick her, she called the servant girl that had brought her the letter to ask, "Who gave you this letter? Where is that person?"

The servant girl in front her respectfully and cautiously said, "To respond to Miss, it was delivered by a servant girl that had been assigned to Marquis Ping Yuan's daughter. That person has already left."

Hearing these words, was this letter really from Liang Yu?

He didn't want to reveal this secret, so he used his younger sister's servant girl to fool other people? This wasn't impossible.
