Chapter 220: You can see the clues
"Oh, Qiao'er is really thoughtful. I'll give you some more silver. You can use it."
As Lu Ming spoke, he took out another bag of silver from his sleeve.
Su Qiaoer looked embarrassed, but after Lu Ming's persuasion, she finally accepted it.
"Thank you, my lord. I will be back in a few days."
"Okay, then be careful on the road."
The two of them stayed together for a while before Su Qiaoer left.
As soon as Su Qiaoer left, Lu Ming also left. He still had to discuss important matters with those people.
Su Qiaoer walked out of the yard, her face no longer showing the weak look she had just now. Her eyes were sharp and there was a sneer at the corner of her mouth, which was completely different from her usual appearance.
Su Qiaoer returned to the yard, packed up her things, and then left the palace with her maid.
"Miss, we have enough money. Why do you still want to ask the prince for money? Isn't this a bad idea?"
The maid couldn't help asking as she walked.
She has been with Su Qiaoer since she was a child. In name, they are master and servant, but in fact they are as close as sisters. Therefore, she speaks more casually in front of her.
Su Qiaoer's lips curled up when she heard that. She stopped, turned around and looked at the maid with a smile on her face.
"Little girl, you don't understand this, I am just using your tricks against you."
"Take advantage of their own strength? What does that mean?"
The maid was stunned when she heard Su Qiaoer's incoherent words.
Su Qiaoer couldn't help laughing when she saw the maid's honest appearance. She reached out and touched the maid's forehead, looking as if she was disappointed in her.
"Have you forgotten the purpose of our trip this time? We are being watched now. If we act rashly, we will definitely be discovered."
"Girl, you mean the princess? She sent people to monitor us?"
The maid's face changed when she heard this. She looked around and found nothing unusual, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Walls have ears. Don't say such things carelessly in the future. As for whether it's true or not, you'll know after trying it."
Su Qiaoer said this, raising the purse in her hand.
"Miss, what you mean is that you deliberately asked the prince for money just now in order to make the princess misunderstand that you were having a secret meeting with a man?"
The maid finally reacted and looked at Su Qiaoer in shock. She had been with Su Qiaoer since she was a child and knew her girl's temperament. Although she looked weak, she was actually a person who would take revenge if she had any.
She had seen how the princess had treated them over the past few days, and her own girl would definitely retaliate.
"Meeting a man secretly? This hat is too big for me."
Su Qiaoer sneered. Although she wanted to take revenge on Lin Wanqing, she would not resort to such methods.
After all, she is Lu Ming's person. If the news of her having a secret meeting with someone else gets out, wouldn't that be a slap in Lu Ming's face?
"What is the girl going to do?"
Upon hearing this, the maid looked at Su Qiaoer with a puzzled expression.
"Just wait and see. This time, I'm going to make Lin Wanqing suffer."
A fierce look flashed in Su Qiaoer's eyes. She didn't believe that she couldn't deal with Lin Wanqing this time.
As they talked, they walked towards the palace gate.
Their conversation was also overheard by Lin Wanqing who was hiding in the dark.
Looking at the two people's receding backs, Lin Wanqing's lips curled up.
"Huh, you want to fight me? You're still a little naive."
She turned back to the yard, then locked herself in the room, fiddling with something.
After Su Qiaoer left the palace, she went straight to a villa outside the city.
And all of this is under Lin Wanqing's control.
"Princess, after Aunt Su left the house, she went to the villa outside the city. Should we follow her and take a look?"
A man in black tights half-knelt in front of Lin Wanqing and spoke respectfully.
"No need. I know what she's going to do. Just send someone to keep an eye on her. Report to me immediately if anything happens."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing waved his hand, with a look of confidence on his face.
The man didn't say much after hearing this, just responded and left.
Lin Wanqing looked at the man's back as he left, a smile on her lips.
"Su Qiaoer, let me see how you escape this time."
Lin Wanqing turned and went into the room. After a while, a crackling sound came from the room. No one knew what she was doing.
At this time, in the villa outside the city, Su Qiaoer was walking back and forth with an anxious look on her face.
"Girl, you've been walking for a long time, take a break."
The maid couldn't help but persuade her when she saw Su Qiao'er's appearance.
Su Qiaoer stopped when she heard that. She turned to look at the maid with a worried look on her face.
"Tell me, will that bitch Lin Wanqing not fall for it? She usually looks like a big-breasted, clueless person, so how come she's so calm this time?"
Su Qiaoer said this and paced back and forth in the room.
Lin Wanqing would definitely not believe the reason she gave this time. After all, she never asked Lu Ming for money when she went out before, but this time she asked for several hundred taels. Anyone with a little bit of common sense would see the clue.
"Miss, there's no point worrying now. Why don't we sit down and have some tea first? Maybe we'll get some news soon."
Seeing Su Qiaoer's anxious look, the maid couldn't help but persuade her.
Her daughter has always been foolproof in what she does, and this time will definitely be the same. She doesn't need to worry so much.
"You're right, I was too anxious."
Su Qiaoer said this, sat down on the chair, picked up the teacup and started drinking.
Time passed little by little, and just when Su Qiaoer was about to get impatient, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
"Girl, it's done."
A figure flashed into the room, half-knelt on the ground, and spoke excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Su Qiaoer stood up from her chair and looked at the person who came with a happy face.
"Really? Lin Wanqing knows about this?"
"Don't worry, girl. Everything is going well."
"Okay, okay, you guys worked hard this time, this is a reward for you."
As Su Qiaoer spoke, she took out a bag of silver from her sleeve and threw it in front of the man.
The man took the silver and an excited look appeared on his face. He kowtowed to Su Qiaoer and then left the room.
Su Qiaoer looked at the thing in her hand and a sinister smile appeared on her face.
"Lin Wanqing, I don't think you'll die this time."
On the other side, Lin Wanqing was lying leisurely on a lounge chair in the yard. There was no worry on his face. Instead, he was looking into the distance with a smile on his face.
"Princess, there's news from Aunt Su. She's been tricked. Should we go over and take a look?"
The maid couldn't help but ask when she saw Lin Wanqing's appearance.
"Don't go."
Lin Wanqing refused without even thinking about it.
"Why? Aunt Su made such a big move this time, it's hard for her to keep us from noticing. Isn't this a good opportunity? Why don't we go and take a look?"
