Chapter 773 [Under the Brocade 69]
Lu Yi, You You and Jin Xia went to visit Wu Shouxu's residence together. However, something unexpected happened - Wu Shouxu's adopted son was killed by Mao Dadang! At this moment, Wu Shouxu was busy taking care of his adopted son's funeral and had no time to talk with Lu Yi and others. He could only ask them to come back another day to discuss in detail.
Jin Xia was unwilling to return empty-handed, so she carefully examined the clues left by the coffin. After careful observation, she told Lu Yi her amazing discovery: according to these clues, the deceased had been dead for less than three hours, and the place where the murder took place was not far from here.
Hearing this, Lu Yi made a prompt decision and decided to lead You You and Jin Xia to follow these subtle marks.
Soon, they arrived at a seemingly peaceful village. However, when the villagers saw the three uninvited guests, they hurried back to their homes in panic and closed their doors.
At the same time, people in many houses secretly watched Lu Yi and others' every move through the cracks in the doors or windows. Lu Yi was thoughtful and after a little thought, he guessed that this village might be the hiding place of those Japanese people.
As expected, at this moment, a group of Japanese pirates came quickly like a tide and surrounded them. The person standing in the front of the group of Japanese pirates was Wang Mazi, the translator they had encountered before.
Wang Mazi looked very proud, and said to Lu Yi and the others in a sarcastic tone: "Hey, you didn't expect this, did you? In fact, Wu Shouxu was willing to send his adopted son to us!"
Faced with such an arrogant enemy, the two sides were naturally on the verge of a fight, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense. However, Lu Yi knew that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time. If he fought with these Japanese pirates here, it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble and attention.
So, he quickly took out a handful of silver from his pocket and threw it at the pirates as a hidden weapon. While the pirates were dodging, he seized the opportunity, pulled up Youyou and Jinxia, turned around and rushed out of the village.
Only after finally getting rid of the group of Japanese pirates who were chasing her relentlessly and confirming that she was safe did Yuan Jinxia breathe a sigh of relief.
But then, she remembered the huge amount of silver that Lu Yi had thrown out in a hurry just now, and she felt extremely distressed. She kept muttering and complaining, "Oh my, sir, why are you such a spendthrift! So much silver was just thrown away!"
Seeing this, Youyou smiled and comforted her, "Okay, okay, Jinxia, as the saying goes, 'You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb'. If it weren't for your cleverness and decisiveness in using the silver as a cover, how could we have escaped so smoothly!"
These pirates were not all from Japan, and a considerable number of them were refugees wandering around the coastal areas. They gathered together to form a formidable force. Lu Yi was deeply surprised that Wu Shouxu could personally hand over his adopted son to Mao Dadang to vent his anger.
At the same time, in another scene, Lin Ling told Yang Yue with a smile: "Don't worry, the scar on your cheek will heal soon."
As she spoke, she took out the scar-removing medicine carefully prepared by Youyou from her bosom and handed it to Yang Yue, and reminded him: "Apply this medicine on time every day. It will only take about a month for your face to return to its former appearance."
Just as Shangguan Xi arrived, Lin Ling hurriedly got up and left. Yang Yue was secretly anxious, fearing that Shangguan Xi would see his scarred face. He quickly said to Shangguan Xi: "My face has nothing to do with you, you don't need to feel guilty about it."
However, Shangguan Xi looked at Yang Yue's stubborn expression, and her heart could not help but feel pain and anger. She thought, since Yang Yue was so stubborn and believed that this matter had nothing to do with him, then it would be useless to say more.
So, she silently handed the medicine in her hand to Yang Yue, then turned around and left sadly.
At this time, Wu Shouxu sent his men to present many precious items to Lu Yi. Seeing this, Lu Yi declined without hesitation, saying that he would never accept such a generous gift.
Jin Xia, who was standing aside, stared at the box full of gold, silver and jewelry, with an envy that was hard to conceal in her eyes.
Wu Shouxu even specially sent two beauties to Lu Yi, one of whom was called Sisi and the other was called Lianlian. When Youyou saw this, her face instantly became extremely gloomy, as if water could drip out. Jinxia was quick-witted and afraid that Youyou would not be able to control her impulse and take action directly, so she quickly reached out and held her tightly.
At this moment, Lu Yi hurriedly explained: "Madam, please calm down! I have no interest in any woman except you, you must believe this!" However, You You didn't listen to his explanation at all, she flicked her sleeves, turned around and left without looking back.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Jin Xia hurriedly said: "Sir, you'd better catch up with Sister Youyou as soon as possible. Leave the situation here to me." Upon hearing this, Lu Yi nodded without hesitation, and then took big strides to chase in the direction Youyou left.
After Lu Yi left, Jin Xia turned her gaze towards the two beauties in front of her and said slowly, "Girls, I'm sure you all witnessed what happened just now. Our master already has a wife, the one who just left in anger. So... I'm really sorry to have made you come here for nothing."
Unexpectedly, Sisi responded disapprovingly: "My dear, I certainly saw it. But, what man in this world doesn't flirt with other women? Even so, my sister and I don't have too many extravagant demands, and we don't expect to become the main wife of your family. Even if we can only be a concubine and be with you all the time, we will be satisfied."
Lianlian, who was standing by, also echoed, "That's right. We two sisters don't ask for much. Status and the like are not of great importance to us. As long as we can stay by your side, that's enough."
"Then you will probably be greatly disappointed! Lord Lu's wife is from an official family, and her family's official position is much higher than Lord Lu's! Because of this, Lord Lu is loyal to his wife and would never dare to have any second thoughts, let alone cheating outside! To tell you the truth, Lord Lu can sit in such a high position now, all relying on the power and protection of his wife's family!" Jin Xia said this deliberately with a cunning look on her face.
"Oh, is that really the case? But I see that Lord Lu is handsome and dignified. He doesn't look like the kind of man who would rely on a woman to live and eat her as a gigolo!" Lianlian responded with surprise.
"Hehe, that's just that you don't understand! Let me tell you, our Lord Lu is actually such a person! As a confidant who has always served the Lord, I naturally know the inside story. I just can't bear to see two beautiful girls, at such a young age, tying their whole hearts to our Lord, only to end up with nothing in the end!" Jin Xia pretended to be regretful and persuaded earnestly.
