Chapter 241 God's House 11
The speed of progress in the God's House is beyond imagination! In just a few days, a lot of things can be found out. After the new plan in this life, the various actions that have been assigned so far can be carried out in such an orderly manner. Every task is being carried out in full swing.
This naturally includes those who were ordered to monitor the prince and Liu Miao. Although they have not achieved any substantial results so far, as long as they can maintain this well-organized state and continue to develop, it will be very good.
You know, the prince and Liu Miao are both extremely cunning old foxes! Ye Jianqing knew that it was not easy to get clues from them quickly. She did not expect to get the ideal result so quickly, but only hoped that the people sent out to carry out the mission could return safely without being injured or exposing their identities.
After all matters were properly arranged, Ye Jianqing couldn't help but start to wonder: Should he take some time to go to Chunmanlou in person?
In the previous life, Lu Zhixing's behavior of getting close to Jiang Wanyin made her feel puzzled. Was there something in Jiang Wanyin that Lu Zhixing needed, so he tried every means to get close to and use Jiang Wanyin.
Thinking of this, Ye Jianqing couldn't help but frowned and fell into deep thought: What kind of secret is Jiang Wanyin hiding?
This question lingered in her mind like a fog, and she couldn't get rid of it. The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and the more she thought about it, the more confusing it became.
Since she couldn't figure it out, she might as well go and check it out herself. Ye Jianqing didn't intend to cause trouble for herself. Just as she was about to go out, she met Lu Ciqiu who had returned and Lu Zhixing who had followed Lu Ciqiu back at the door.
"Your Highness." In front of Lu Zhixing, Ye Jianqing still gave Lu Ciqiu enough face, bowed obediently, and then followed him. She didn't want to be killed by Lu Zhixing for being disrespectful to Lu Ciqiu, that would be too unfair! Lu Zhixing just raised his eyes and glanced at her lightly, without saying anything, but his face revealed a sense of arrogance and indifference. When Lu Ciqiu saw Ye Jianqing, he smiled and happily pulled her and asked, "Are you planning to go out?"
Ye Jianqing smiled at him, nodded and said, "Yes, I'm just about to go find an old friend to reminisce about the past." Her voice was clear and pleasant.
"It's a bit late now, why don't we go tomorrow?" Although he didn't say who it was, Lu Ci Qiu could guess that Ye Jianqing was going to find Jiang Wanyin. If he was looking for Du Rou, Ye Jianqing would definitely say it directly. But when he thought about how late it was now and that Chun Man Lou might not be safe at night, Lu Ci Qiu really didn't want Ye Jianqing to go out at this time.
"Okay." Ye Jianqing answered very straightforwardly, without any hesitation. Lu Ciqiu couldn't even believe his ears. As soon as he opened his mouth, Ye Jianqing agreed so readily. The speed was really amazing.
However, Ye Jianqing didn't care about Lu Ciqiu's surprised expression. Originally, she went out to hesitate whether to follow the plot of the previous life and go to Chunmanlou to see if Lu Zhixing would appear like in the previous life and persuade her to take Lu Ciqiu to Beiguan. But now that Lu Zhixing has appeared here, no matter how she thinks, it is unlikely that the other party will go to Chunmanlou to look for Jiang Wanyin today. In this case, it is meaningless for her to go there again.
Ye Jianqing followed the two brothers into the Xianwang Mansion again. Lu Zhixing came here today for an important purpose - to meet Wang Ren himself. He was skeptical about the information provided by Wang Ren, thinking that the other party might have concealed some key information and tried to use it as a lifeline. Compared with his younger brother Lu Ci Qiu, Lu Zhixing's methods were more ruthless.
"Have you talked to your second brother?" Lu Zhixing led the way in front, while Ye Jianqing and Lu Ci Qiu whispered to each other in the back.
Lu Ci Qiu raised his head and glanced at his brother, then replied softly: "Yes, I have said it all."
Ye Jianqing then lowered his voice and asked: "What about the six people we arranged? Did you tell him too?"
Lu Ci Qiu nodded again and responded: "I told him everything. I told him the whole plan in detail."
Ye Jianqing looked puzzled: "Then why did he suddenly come here?"
Lu Ci Qiu thought for a moment and speculated: "I guess he probably wants to observe Wang Ren in person."
"Should we keep him for dinner later?"
"I think I should keep it... By the way, what should we eat tonight?"
"It looks like roast chicken. By the way, I made some ice jelly this afternoon and left a portion for you. Remember to eat it later."
Lu Ci Qiu's eyes sparkled with excitement, as if he had already smelled the aroma of roast chicken. He licked his lips and continued, "Roast chicken! Sure, sure, I must let my second brother taste our palace's roast chicken. It's first-rate, super delicious!" As he spoke, his saliva seemed to be flowing out.
The two were so immersed in their conversation that they didn't realize that Lu Zhixing in front of them had begun to sweat silently. At such a close distance, did they really think he couldn't hear them? No way, no way, could anyone really think that his ears were not working well and he couldn't hear their whispers?
Just as the two were still quietly discussing whether to add a barbecue to the evening, Lu Zhixing suddenly interrupted their discussion. "So you plan to keep me for dinner tonight?" His voice was a little teasing and teasing, which made the two suddenly come back to their senses.
"Second...Second brother." Lu Ci Qiu stood there awkwardly, just like when he was a child and was caught by Lu Zhixing for being lazy. His face turned red and he was at a loss, like a child who had done something wrong.
"What? You don't plan to let Second Brother try the roast chicken in your palace? And the barbecue tonight?" Lu Zhixing said jokingly with a faint smile on his face and his phoenix eyes slightly narrowed.
Hearing Lu Zhixing's words, Lu Ci Qiu immediately perked up. He quickly took a step forward, stepped beside Lu Zhixing, and introduced to him with a beaming face: "Of course I want it! Not only that, I want my second sister-in-law and Yuanyuan to try it too." Speaking of this, Lu Ci Qiu was even more excited and eloquent, "The roast chicken made by this chef is absolutely amazing! The chicken is tender and juicy, and the fragrance is overflowing. After eating it, the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth, making people have endless aftertaste. The small barbecue in the evening is also a delicious dish that cannot be missed. When paired with Qing'er's exclusive dipping sauce, the taste is simply wonderful!"
Seeing Lu Ci Qiu praising him endlessly, but only using a few adjectives, Lu Zhixing couldn't help but feel a little amused. He raised his hand, tapped Lu Ci Qiu's head lightly, and scolded him with a smile: "I told you not to study hard on weekdays, but now that you need to use it, you can only repeat the same few words over and over again."
"Hehe, it's so delicious that I can't describe it." Lu Ci Qiu covered his forehead in pain and smiled foolishly. While rubbing his forehead, he called Huai Xi over and ordered: "Huai Xi, go and arrange a barbecue party in the courtyard tonight! Remember to prepare more ingredients! Also, send someone to the Qin Palace to pick up the second sister-in-law and Yuan Yuan, and ask Chef Zhang to roast two more chickens!"
Lu Zhixing watched him make arrangements with a smile. After he finished the arrangements, he changed his mind because he didn't want to be affected by other things during this rare gathering in the evening. His original plan to interrogate Wang Ren was put on hold for the time being. He decided to go to the study to discuss with Lu Ci Qiu and Ye Jianqing on how to improve their plan and ensure that it was foolproof.
As for Wang Ren, let's wait until tomorrow to send someone to pick him up. Anyway, there is no rush, and this way, the brothers' dinner tonight will not be disturbed and they can talk freely.
Lu Ci Qiu did not show any dissatisfaction or objection to his change of itinerary. In fact, when Lu Zhixing proposed this idea, he almost immediately agreed. Anyway, Wang Renren was there, and he could not escape their control anyway.
Now that his second brother was willing to lend a hand to help him improve his plan, he undoubtedly felt even more pleased and relieved. With a reliable and capable second brother like Lu Zhixing by his side, he was filled with endless trust and reliance.
