Chapter 176 Tang Peipei advises Lu Xinyu
Tang Peipei brought people directly back to the yard she had prepared for Lu Xinyu. After entering the yard, she sent all the servants away, and even Mu Jintang left.
Seeing her cousin's attitude, Lu Xinyu knew that she couldn't fool her casually, but she couldn't easily tell Tang Peipei about her plan, because she knew very well that Tang Peipei would definitely not agree with her approach.
However, she wanted to avenge her past life, protect her cousin, and protect the general's mansion. Apart from this method, she really didn't know what else to do.
Thinking of this, Lu Xinyu walked to Tang Peipei dejectedly and sat down, but said nothing.
When Tang Peipei saw this, she was angry, but she also knew that she couldn't be blamed for anything.
The Third Prince, she and Mu Jintang both knew what kind of person he was, but for those who had never met him.
On the surface, he is a gentle and elegant young man, well-dressed, and as a prince, it is natural that he can win the hearts of many women.
However, she knew that the Third Prince was not a good man, and she did not want her cousin to regret it when she saw his true face in the future.
The two of them had their own thoughts and no one spoke.
They sat there quietly for a long time, and finally Tang Peipei said, "The Third Prince is not suitable for you. Listen to me and stop associating with him."
Lu Xinyu said, "Sister, what's wrong with the third prince? He was born a prince, is well-educated, and treats me well. I think he is a very good person." She lowered her head shyly.
Tang Peipei thought to herself: "He is so knowledgeable, but he is not so knowledgeable about human relations, right? He is good to you, but he is still useful to you. Does he know what feelings are? He probably has no feelings at all."
Now some people don’t know that the Queen doesn’t like Tang Peipei.
But the third prince, who is the son of the queen, wants to win over the general's mansion.
For those interests, he could even ignore the Queen, let alone others.
However, Tang Peipei would not share these words with Lu Xinyu, and only advised: "You may not know, right? The Third Prince is now engaged to Yunshu's sister as his concubine, and the marriage is granted by the Emperor's imperial decree."
How could Lu Xinyu not know this? In her previous life, she had suffered a lot at the hands of the Third Prince's wife.
At that time, whenever she was bullied, the Third Prince would openly help her, but in reality he treated the Third Prince's wife with great care.
She was stupid at that time and didn't realize it. She thought the Third Prince cared about her the most and was willing to punish even his own princess because of her.
It was not until later that I realized that the punishment was just for show and that it did not cause any actual harm to her.
"Of course I know." Lu Xinyu raised her head, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
Tang Peipei looked at her in surprise, "You know..."
"Cousin, I have my plan." Lu Xinyu grabbed Tang Peipei's hand, "Trust me, I won't let myself suffer any loss."
Tang Peipei looked at her worriedly, "What on earth do you want to do?"
Lu Xinyu smiled slightly, "I can't tell you now, but I promise that this matter will not affect the General's Mansion."
"No, you have to tell me your plan. What do you want to do? Why do you have to get entangled with the third prince?" Tang Peipei was very determined. She couldn't let Lu Xinyu take risks.
Lu Xinyu shook her head and said, "Cousin, I can't tell you now. Don't worry, I know my limits."
Tang Peipei wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Lu Xinyu, "Cousin, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I have to face this matter myself."
Hearing her say this, an idea suddenly flashed through Tang Peipei's mind, but when he tried to grasp it, it slipped away again.
Tang Peipei sighed helplessly, "Okay, then you must be careful. If you need any help, be sure to tell me."
Although Tang Peipei reluctantly agreed with Lu Xinyu's decision to act on her own, she still felt uneasy.
She always felt that Lu Xinyu was hiding something important, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
With this uneasy feeling, he left Lu Xinyu's yard and went straight to Mu Jintang's study.
Mu Jintang was dealing with official documents. When he saw Tang Peipei coming over with a serious look on his face, he hurried forward and helped her sit down.
She asked softly, "What's wrong? Have you finished talking with Xinyu?"
Tang Peipei nodded and told Mu Jintang what Lu Xinyu had said to her and her decision.
After listening to this, Mu Jintang frowned.
"I always feel that Xinyu is hiding something from us." Tang Peipei said worriedly.
Mu Jintang comforted her, "Maybe Xinyu has her own considerations. Let's observe for a while."
Tang Peipei sighed, "This is the only way. I hope nothing happens to her."
Mu Jintang held Tang Peipei's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm here and won't let anyone hurt you."
Tang Peipei nodded slightly, and then as if she had thought of something, she said to Mu Jintang: "How about we send someone to keep an eye on my cousin."
Mu Jintang thought for a moment and replied, "That's feasible. Let me find two experienced secret guards to follow her. First, to protect her safety, and second, to see what she is planning to do."
Tang Peipei agreed with this arrangement, so the two of them set about selecting suitable secret guards. Soon, two smart and capable secret guards were selected, and they quietly integrated into Lu Xinyu's life.
In the following days, Tang Peipei and Mu Jintang kept an eye on Lu Xinyu's every move, and also secretly investigated the movements of the third prince. However, Lu Xinyu did not seem to have any unusual behavior, and only met with the third prince occasionally, but the content of the conversation was nothing special.
This also made Tang Peipei gradually put her mind at ease, and she focused her attention on the general affairs and workshops of the general's mansion.
Recently, the workshop has almost prepared the goods and the momentum has been almost built up, and we are just waiting for the cloth to be put on the market.
We have received quite a few orders so far.
Because of this busy schedule, Tang Peipei completely forgot about Lu Xinyu's matter.
After a while, the cloth was finally put on the market. Due to the previous publicity, wholesalers rushed to buy it, and Tang Peipei's workshop business became more and more prosperous.
The dyeing and weaving technology of Tang Peipei's workshop became a hot topic in the capital, and even spread to the palace. After hearing about it, the emperor became very interested in this unique dyeing and weaving technology and ordered Tang Peipei to come to the palace to demonstrate it.
Tang Peipei was surprised and delighted when she received the imperial edict. She knew this was a rare opportunity, but she was also worried that she would meet the queen again after entering the palace, which would cause all kinds of trouble.
But she didn't want to give up such a good opportunity. Maybe after this, her fabrics would reach a higher level.
With this mentality, Tang Peipei still chose to go to the palace to meet the emperor.
On the day of entering the palace, Tang Peipei brought exquisite cloth and samples to the palace. She demonstrated the dyeing and weaving techniques to the emperor and the court, and explained in detail the meaning of each color and pattern. The emperor praised Tang Peipei's talent, rewarded her with many precious treasures on the spot, and expressed the hope that she could supply special cloth for the royal family.
This unexpected gain made Tang Peipei very happy. In this way, wouldn’t she become an imperial merchant?
However, just when Tang Peipei was overjoyed, an unpleasant figure blocked her way.
