Chapter 257: Will it work? We have to give it a try

Meng Niang was touched to see that Niang Rong cared so much about her.

"Niang Rong, forget it. As long as the poison is removed, there's no need to think too much about it."

Niang Rong said seriously: "Meng Niang, you are not young anymore, it's time for you to get married."

Seeing that Niangrong acted like an adult, Mengniang couldn't help but chuckle. She touched Niangrong's little head lovingly and teased, "You are also old enough to get married."

Niang Rong's face fell, "Why are you like my father? Why do you want to get married? Isn't it better to be alone?"

Only in front of Meng Niang can she express her thoughts freely.

"That's illegal."

Meng Niang said with a broken heart.

Qin law stipulates that those who do not marry at the marriageable age will be punished.

Of course, she also knew that this rule had no restrictions on children of top aristocrats like Lu Niangrong.

Lu Niangrong snorted, "What about you? You haven't gotten married yet, so why haven't you been punished?"

Meng Niang laughed and said, "I don't have a name, haha."

"..."

Commonly known as black household.

Lu Niangrong was stunned and had nothing to say.

If they were caught, they would definitely be forced into slavery, which is more serious than not getting married.

"Okay... let's not talk about this for now. Are you really planning to be Cheng Jiao's concubine?"

Lu Niangrong's pretty face was serious and solemn.

Meng Niang said self-deprecatingly: "I, your teacher, am only slightly younger than the current Queen Mother Zhao Ji. It's good enough that someone wants me. Is there any choice? As for whether to be a concubine or not, it doesn't matter."

Lu Niangrong began to seek revenge: "That's true, you are too old and not as popular as me. You are among the crowd of people who came to my house to propose marriage."

Meng Niang rolled her eyes. She was indeed not young, but it was also the most charming age for a woman. Her appearance was not bad even among the girls in Cheng Jiao's backyard. She was definitely a great beauty.

Seeing Meng Niang speechless, Lu Niangrong laughed and said, "I'll let you talk about me!"

Meng Niang restrained her expression and whispered, "Can you please stop interfering in my affairs?"

Niang Rong shook her head vigorously: "No, Cheng Jiao has so many women, you will suffer a loss."

Meng Niang was helpless and teased, "Then come over here."

"What?" Lu Niangrong didn't react.

Meng Niang chuckled and said, "I'll marry Cheng Jiao with you, so everything will be fine, right?"

Niang Rong opened her eyes wide: "Impossible! How could I possibly marry a lecher like him!"

Meng Niang spread her hands and said, "So, you should stop caring about your master's affairs."

Niang Rong gritted her teeth and said, "No, I'll take care of it! No matter what, Cheng Jiao must take you as his concubine, and you can't be without a legitimate status!"

Meng Niang stroked her forehead and said, "Don't do anything rash. I haven't cured the poison yet."

Lu Niangrong thought so too, "Alright, wait until Cheng Jiao has eliminated the poison in your body, then I will take action."

Meng Niang stretched out her slender jade finger and tapped Lu Niangrong's pretty nose, "Look at what you can do."

Lu Niangrong frowned, thinking about how to make Cheng Jiao take Meng Niang as his concubine.

At the same time, he was a little annoyed with Cheng Jiao. He just said that he wanted Meng Niang to be his woman without making it clear. How hateful!

Meng Niang took a sip of tea. She didn't expect that Niang Rong was more open-minded than she thought.

I thought Niangrong was doing something stupid to avoid being wronged.

If this is the case, it may seem like it's for her own good, but in fact it will put her in a dilemma and she may even lose hope of survival.

Cheng Jiao is not an ordinary person, and Niang Rong can use Lu Buwei's power to suppress Cheng Jiao.

What's more, they are enemies now. Lu Niangrong intervened at this time just because Cheng Jiao didn't want to bother with such a little girl and was too lazy to pay attention to her.

If Lu Niangrong dared to interfere in Cheng Jiao's private affairs, she couldn't guarantee how Cheng Jiao would deal with her.

It would also directly make her plan of begging Cheng Jiao to save Lu Niangrong's life after Lu Buwei's death fail.

While Meng Niang and Lu Niangrong were talking in private, at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Lu Buwei frowned and asked, "Niang Rong hasn't come back yet?"

The old servant was a little nervous. He could hear the uneasiness and fatigue hidden in Lu Buwei's tone.

"He hasn't come out of Cheng Jiao's house yet. I guess it's because Meng Niang is there, so he stayed a little longer."

Lu Buwei stood up and paced a few steps.

"Do you think I shouldn't let Meng Niang go?"

The old slave groaned and said, "The young master went there voluntarily. It has nothing to do with the Prime Minister."

Lu Buwei stood in front of the window, looking at the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard, and sighed, "How can it be irrelevant? I can obviously stop her. Although Meng Niang is important, she is not indispensable."

The old servant walked to Lü Buwei's side and said, "Prime Minister Lü, I have been following you since I came to Wei State. It has been thirty-six years now. All the ups and downs over the years have passed. Your Excellency Prime Minister, do not worry too much.

In less than five years, three years at most, or even half a year at the shortest, I will take the young lady away and put your worries to rest."

Lu Buwei nodded and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart that had been in his heart for a long time. Cheng Jiao's threat was too great. As long as he was not sure whether Cheng Jiao was a celestial being, he would not be able to sleep or eat well.

What made him even more helpless was that he received news that Cheng Jiao entered Changping Jun's mansion last night and stayed there for quite a while, and it was obvious that he had ulterior motives.

Combined with the current situation, he could guess that Ying Zheng and Cheng Jiao wanted to unite with Changping Jun to suppress him.

However, after Changping Jun refused to cooperate with him, he was mentally prepared for this and was not surprised.

Compared to whether Cheng Jiao was a celestial being or not, this was nothing. Although he was not afraid of death, he did not want to be controlled by others at any time.

When and how to die is up to him, this is his pride after ascending to the prime minister.

"We can't count on Zhao Ji anymore. Fortunately, the Yin family came to us and asked for cooperation. I will find an opportunity to send you away from Qin State and go to the Yin family. Please help me take good care of Niang Rong."

The old servant nodded slightly. If Lu Niangrong was not too conspicuous, and if Changping Jun and others had not been keeping a close eye on her, and if the King of Qin had also begun to deploy spies in Xianyang, the only way to escape without alerting the enemy was to wait for the right opportunity.

Royal Palace, Ganquan Palace.

Zhao Gao and the four sword slaves all stood in the pleasant garden with painful expressions on their faces.

He wanted to use his inner strength to seal his ears, but he didn't dare to. His face was filled with a look of despair.

Zhao Ji sat in front of the zither table with gritted teeth. On the table was an extremely exquisite and gorgeous guqin, with carvings of dragons and phoenixes on it, which was very elegant.

Great!
I thought there was a loophole I could exploit, after all, Cheng Jiao only arranged courses for her without setting a time limit.

Be prepared to deal with the mysterious force that controls her behavior.

Unexpectedly!

She danced for an entire hour without taking a break. The high intensity of the dance made her almost suffocate.

Sweat was pouring down her body, soaking her gorgeous dance costume, as if she was carrying a load of lead.

Touch the ground with your toes, spread your arms, and spin on the spot, all of which can shake off a line of sweat.

I have to say that the Queen Mother's baby was in good physical condition and managed to hold on.

Zhao Ji was speechless. After dancing, she planned to soak in the special hot springs in Ganquan Palace to relax, but in less than an incense stick of time, she started to get dressed, eat, and rest.

Then, I came here with my guitar to practice.

So much so that her long, white legs, which she had spent a lot of money to maintain, are now weak.

Zhao Gao and the Four Sword Slaves were originally happy that they didn't have to study anymore.

But I found how wonderful reading was compared to what happened in the morning.

Think about him, the dignified Old Zhao, and think about his sword slaves who are feared by everyone in the martial arts world.

When Zhao Ji was dancing and sweating, she saw that they were doing nothing, so she got annoyed and asked them to dance with her, and they had to dance the same way as she did.

This is crazy...

The dance that Zhao Ji was good at was not the solemn and dignified kind, but was more inclined to show off a woman's grace and elegance.

Therefore, the movements and postures are more charming and seductive.

This really made Zhao Gao depressed. People outside had been saying that he was a dead eunuch. If he danced like a woman this morning and the news got out, he would be considered a eunuch anyway.

Too cheap!
Zhao Gao cursed Cheng Jiao countless times in his heart, and he was certain that this was Cheng Jiao's doing.

Although he had no evidence...

Old Zhao, who was trying to find joy in misery, seemed to have awakened something strange after the psychological torture he had endured in the morning.

He glanced at the four sword slaves behind him and prepared to design an entrance dance for the six sword slaves after Luowang selected two sword slaves.

It will definitely make the opponent retreat without a fight!

Zhao Ji played the guqin randomly.

In Handan, she focused on Zhao Wu. She could play the flute and the Xiao, but had never touched the Qin.

But unfortunately, she still had to play for another hour.

If Cheng Jiao were here, he would definitely say, “How fucking ugly!”
Zhao Ji glanced at Zhao Gao and others standing aside, but her slender hands kept waving on the strings of the zither.

Zhao Ji is feeling miserable, and she would feel even more miserable if no one is there to accompany her!

I calculated the time silently in my mind. It was almost an hour and my arms were so sore.

Her white and tender fingers were stiff and numb, and she was even left with red marks with blood due to accidental tightening.

I can't go on like this. Although studying is lonely and boring, it's not that tiring.

Not to mention putting on makeup and bathing, but the thought of having to continue dancing, playing the piano, and playing the flute tomorrow, which would keep my arms, thighs, and mouth busy, makes my scalp tingle. It's too exciting.

She felt that if she continued like this, she would become bald.

Zheng Ge, standing at the archway of the garden, hesitated for a long time and decided not to go forward.

This was probably the ugliest piano music he had ever heard.

If Zhao Ji asked him to stand aside and wait to "appreciate" with Zhao Gao, it would shorten his life.

Decisively take Gai Nie away from here.

Gai Nie breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have to suffer here. It was really... wonderful!

Just like Ying Zheng, he was also angry and wondered if Zhao Ji was so bored that she did this on purpose.

Why play the piano if you don’t read good books?
If Zhao Ji knew about this, she would definitely scold him.

What do you think I want to do? Play the piano? Play shit!
Zhao Ji stopped playing the piano with her delicate hands. At this moment, there were several red marks of varying depths on her fair and tender hands, and they were still shaking constantly, and it was obvious that she was reaching her limit.

Zhao Ji slowly raised her head and looked at the blue sky, her beautiful eyes full of confusion.

She had tried to expose herself in order to tell others that she was controlled by Cheng Jiao, but when she got to the point, she either praised Cheng Jiao or gave him some positive energy chicken soup.

Even if I feel desperate and want to commit suicide, I can't raise my hands.

It can be said that even if Cheng Jiao didn't want her to die, she couldn't die.

The so-called life is worse than death.

Cheng Jiao didn't know that Niang Rong was still in Meng Niang's room, discussing how to make him take Meng Niang as his concubine.

After leaving Xueyuan, I was bored and wandered around the mansion. I ran into Hongyu and Caidie who were chatting under the pavilion.

It would have been nothing, but his hearing was so good that when he passed by, he heard his lovely Xiao Hongyu and the cute Xiao Hudie chatting about his gossip with great interest.

He couldn't help but stop and listen. It was not a big deal when he heard it, but his face turned black.

Hong Yu sat on the steps of the pavilion, "Cai Die, when the Master was at Zi Lan Xuan, he clearly said that he wanted us to accompany him, but he still hasn't shown us favor, do you think we should take the initiative?"

Caidie sat next to Hongyu and whispered, "Is this okay?"

Hong Yu looked at the lake and said with some worry, "I heard from Sister Li Wu and Sister Yan Lingji that the young master might not be that good at sex and he hasn't contacted them for several days. If we don't hurry up and try to get pregnant with the young master's child, who knows, in the future..."

Caidie blushed, "Maybe they are joking, don't take it seriously, you know they always make fun of you."

Hong Yu nodded in agreement: "That's right, but we still have to find a chance to try it out for Sister Zi Nu, if..."

Cheng Jiao coughed heavily behind the two girls and asked in a gloomy tone, "What if?"

Hongyu stood up suddenly, and Caidie also stood up quickly.

"Sir, no, nothing. I didn't say anything."

Hongyu was frightened by the sudden appearance of Cheng Jiao and began to stutter.

Caidie was able to remain calm and whispered, "Sir, Hongyu is just talking nonsense, please don't mind it."

Hong Yu said, "Yes, that's nonsense. It's just a rumor."

Cheng Jiao knew that the two women had no ill intentions, but he was also speechless towards Yan Lingji and Li Wu. They really had anything to say.

I don't know who led the other astray.

Also, forget about Li Wu.

I had just moisturized Yan Lingji a few days ago, how could she not know if it was okay! ?

Who was crying and begging for mercy that night?

This is really unreasonable!

I must find time to take care of Fire Girl and Li Wu.

Otherwise, I don’t know what people will say about him in the future.

"Forget it then. Don't talk nonsense in the future. Do you understand?"

Hong Yu, still frightened, nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I won't dare to do it again."

She is now deeply afraid that Cheng Jiao will pursue the matter and just wants to end it quickly.

Caidie lowered her head slightly, with some shyness in her eyes.

She remembered what Hongyu had just said to her, that she should take the initiative to fight for it.

She said softly, "Sir, do you still remember what you said to me and Hongyu at Zi Lan Xuan?"

Hongyu was stunned. After she reacted, she secretly gave Caidie a thumbs up.

She was also frightened by Cheng Jiao and forgot her conspiracy with Caidie.

Cheng Jiao was stunned and remembered what he had said casually at that time, asking Hongyu and Caidie to wait for him together.

As a result... because I was about to leave Xinzheng, there were so many things to do that I forgot about it.

Forget it. I'm free now anyway, so why not wait for a better day?

Cheng Jiao reached out and took the colorful butterfly into his arms.

He said to Hong Yu: "It is my fault for neglecting this. Let's find a place to have a discussion."

Hongyu had a happy look on her face.

What is this! What a surprise!
"Come this way, sir. The empty room here has just been cleaned."

After saying that, Hongyu looked around cautiously. There was no one there, which was very good.

He secretly winked at Caidie, and the two girls smiled at each other.

If Hongyu hadn't pointed it out to him, he wouldn't have noticed that there was also a small courtyard here.

We came to a courtyard slightly smaller than Xueyuan, which had only one relatively large empty room.

Hong Yu explained in a low voice: "This is prepared for Sister Zi Nu."

Cheng Jiao understood. No wonder the layout of this place was very good, with trees, bamboos, a small pond, and the various colors of orchids that Zi Nu liked.

"That's thoughtful. After Zi Nu comes here, you can move in too."

Now Hongyu Caidie follows Ali to do chores because there are few people in the mansion and there is a shortage of manpower.

In addition, this period was quite sensitive, and Lu Buwei controlled the evil spirits in Luowang, which contained many spies.

He didn't want to let in people whose background he didn't know, so it looked like Hong Yu Cai Die was a servant in the mansion.

In fact, they are also his women. If Zi Nu marries him, they will be his dowry.
