Not long after Xiao Su left, Ye Wen returned with a bowl of medicine. Lu JinNian looked at the bowl of soup with a strong smell and couldn't help but twitch her lips. This was the first time she thought of the sweet pill.

It wasn't that the medicinal soup was bitter, but that he really wasn't used to it.

After drinking the medicine with his nose, Lu Jinniang called Yi Han out and gave her the plate he took out from Mo Rufeng earlier, "Han, go find Mo Rufeng and find out where the Zither of the Spring was from, as well as why it was in Lady Yi's hands."

Yi Han asked doubtfully, "Miss, do you mean that someone intentionally gave the zither to Madam Yi?"

"Not necessarily," Lu JinNian shook his head, "As long as the Zither of the Spring Water appears, it would not remain unknown. Even if it's not Lady Yi, it could also be one of Liang Jing's rich and powerful families."

The purpose of the person who played the zither and the person who stole the zither were unknown.

After seeing Yi Han put away the sign, Yi Han asked, "It's just that Miss, why don't you let our people investigate? They might not be able to match up to the Nightmare Pavilion."

Lu Jinniang laughed, "I know that Warmth is unconvinced. We're not worse than Night Guiding Pavilion, we're just not as arrogant as them. However, for the time being, we have to keep our influence hidden."

"Otherwise, it would be hard to handle things on Yan Ze's side. Leave those dangerous matters to Nightmare Pavilion. Warm up, go to our people and report it to them. We can check on any legends regarding the Zither of the Spring or other famous zithers."

"I understand."

However, before he could leave due to the warmth of the day, Mu Qi knocked on the door again and reported, "Miss, Miss Lu Qingyao has brought Prime Minister Pei Yu and his sister Pei Qing here."

Lu JinNian was curious because she knew that he was interested in what was in the zither from the beginning, and she dared to guarantee that no one else but Xiao Su had noticed her movements, so her visit was within her expectations.

It didn't matter if Lu Qingyao had come. Even if she didn't have any feelings, even if she had a younger sister behind her back, she was still her younger sister. On the surface, she still had to maintain her harmony.

However, between Pei Yu and Pei Qing, the only connection Lu JinNian could think of was …

Earlier, Yi Han had caused Pei Yin, the direct daughter of the Prime Minister, to become bald. However, with Yi Han's martial arts skills and methods of committing crimes, he shouldn't have been discovered. Even if he was found out, he shouldn't have come at this time to denounce her for his crimes, right?

Lu Jin Nian looked at Yi Han with a puzzled expression. He told Yi Han to first find Mo Rufeng in the Night Guiding Pavilion to settle some important matters, then he would leave the Prime Minister's Residence for a while before he allowed Mu Chi to invite them in.

Although Lukewarm didn't like Lu Qingyao, she was still a guest, so she obediently went to make tea.

The first to enter was Lu Qingyao. She had a cute smile on her face, "Sister, yesterday when sister came home late, I heard that sister was injured. I wonder if it was serious?"

Lu JinNian was exasperated. It was all Xiao Su's fault, how could he say that he was injured!

"Cough cough, it's because Lady Yi cares too much about this junior. I caught a cold and suddenly had a fever. I was just weak and wasn't injured."

"So that's how it is. Big sister is fine, little sister is relieved."

Lu JinNian's smile was stiff. Please, what did Lu Qingyao look like to be able to be so passionate towards this young mistress who normally looked at him with nothing in her eyes? This acting skills, tsk tsk, she was truly ashamed of herself.

Pei Qing was also smiling sweetly as he continued, "I've always heard from Yao Yao that my eldest sister is breathtakingly beautiful. I wasn't able to take a good look at her at the Duke of Yi's estate yesterday. I saw her for real today."

Are you sure you are praising her and not cursing her?

Lu JinNian did not want to dispute the authenticity of these words, "My two younger sisters are like the shining stars, gorgeous like the blazing sun. I am not as beautiful as my two younger sisters.

"It's a pity that my body is covered with cold. If I pass the time of my illness and give it to my sisters, then it's my sister's fault …" May I know what business you two sisters have? "

If you have something to say, just say it. In order not to let your Xingyun Yang perish, then disperse as soon as you can!

Lu Qingyao was a smart person. Although Lu JinNian's words sounded like he was being reserved, the intention to send them off was not too obvious. Looking at the three cups of tea placed on the table with a warm smile on his face, she tactfully didn't sit down.

"Actually, it was the Duke of Yi's residence that sent a comforting gift to all the noble young ladies who came to visit that day. When it was the Prime Minister's Mansion, Pei Yu and Pei Qing were just about to come over, so they brought it along the way. Here's the gift, I put it down for you."

Lu JinNian smiled, "Thank you for your trip, little sister. I'm sure it will be along the way. Young Master Pei Yu and Miss Pei Qing must be here to visit little sister Qingwan and little sister Qingyao. Big sister won't stay any longer."

Lu Qingyao's eyes flashed, "Little Sister saw Grandfather's guard here, I wonder if Grandfather …"

"Oh, grandpa went to the Duke of Yi's estate early in the morning. After all, what happened yesterday caused grandpa to say that it's better to leave the guards to protect the courtyard."

"Grandfather is going to discuss with Madam Yi how to report to Empress and also ask Duke Yi to give Father a bit of trust in the marriage. No matter what happens before, there will always be orders from the parents and words from the matchmaker."

"It seems that after father returns, little sister Qingwan's marriage should be more or less discussed. Little sister Qingyao, remember to tell aunt and little sister Qingwan."

"If that's the case, then I won't disturb you, little sister."

With that, Lu Qingyao left with Pei Qing.

What could Lu Qingyao's last question be about? He was still suspicious of Mu Qi's background. It seemed like his little sister was still restless …

Lu JinNian sighed with emotion, but he was even more surprised by the person who was still in his room. He leaned against a pile of pillows and tilted his head, "Young Master Pei Yu?"

Pei Yu regained his composure and smiled humbly before bowing and cupping his hands, "Miss Lu, please do not blame me for being rude. I am only sincerely grateful for the grace of saving my life."

Lu Jinsheng blinked, "Young Master Pei must be joking. I only wanted to help out a little. I didn't want to drag Young Master Pei down, let alone save his life."

"Miss Lu is too modest."

Pei Yu did not take Lu JinNian's words seriously. He looked at him with a serious expression. He was well aware of the situation at that time. If not for Lu JinNian's prompt decision to throw Lin Qianqian out, his movements would have been restricted at every turn.

If not for Lu JinNian's cooperation, he might have been hacked a few more times by the man in black. It could be seen that Lu JinNian's kung fu was quite good, at least he had the experience to be able to calmly and nimbly change his moves in battle.

They all say that Miss Lu is a salt free haystack. Even though she hasn't been out for four years, that probably isn't the case.

While Pei Yu was observing Lu Jin Nian, Lu Jin Nian was sizing him up as well. He had changed out from the black bamboo white robe from yesterday. Today, he was wearing a jade green robe with black hair and a crown.

Pei Yu should be the same age as his big brother, but he had already served in the Han Forest Academy for more than a year.

Although he was a leisurely man with no real power and very little work to do, he made his acquaintance with the court officials, paving the way for his future advancement. His father was the prime minister of the court, so he must have learned a lot of power from childhood and had to be on his guard.
