A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Chapter 1202 - 945: Closing the Net 6

Ji Youzhi saw that Lu Zezhong was stubborn and unclear, and ultimately decided not to give him another chance.Two assassination attempts couldn’t make the other party speak; if it’s not a minor secret, then it must be a monumental secret!

"Lu Shangshu, I suddenly feel like telling you a story. I wonder if you’d like to hear it?"

"Since Divine Hunter wants to tell a story, please go ahead. I am all ears."

Ji Youzhi chuckled softly and began speaking.

"This story starts thirty-some years ago. At that time, there was a Lu Mansion, with a young lad of about fifteen or sixteen. There was a maid in the mansion, born with charming and pretty looks.

Especially her eyes, like a vast sea, sparkling with moisture.

This maid was bullied by the servants of the Lu Family due to her exceedingly beautiful face, and everyone called her a worthless girl.

Later, the young master accidentally witnessed her being bullied and intervened to deal with the group of servants. He then gave her a name, Xiaorou.

From then on, Xiaorou stayed by the young master’s side, washing clothes, cooking, grinding ink, and sweeping floors for him.

Xiaorou developed feelings for the young master, but since he was focused on studying for the Imperial Examination, she never expressed them.

However, in the blink of an eye, the young master reached the age for marriage.

Then, the families arranged a marriage for him. At this time, the maid found the young master and confessed her feelings, which left him flustered and unsure of what to do.

So the maid gave the young master three days. If he didn’t acknowledge his feelings for her in those days, she wouldn’t cling to him.

Unexpectedly, not even three days passed when the maid followed her mistress into the palace to meet her own cousin, who was the first consort named by the late Emperor after his ascension, Consort Hui.

Consort Hui found this little maid very endearing and asked Madam Lu for this maid.

Thus, without hearing the young master’s response, the maid had already become a first-class maid by Consort Hui’s side in the palace.

In the palace, aside from the well-ranked elderly nanny and the masters, everyone else had to call her Sister Xiaorou!"

"Are you talking about my mother’s story?"

Princess Lianchun was shocked, suddenly looking at Ji Youzhi.

She slightly opened her mouth.

"Princess Lianchun, please stay calm."

The Emperor waved his hand, and the shadow guard jumped down from the beam, dragging Liu Yuheng away.

"Lord Lu, what I’ve said, do you have anything to add?"

Ji Youzhi looked at Lu Zezhong and asked.

Lu Zezhong bowed his head deeply, refusing to speak.

"Do you think remaining silent means it’s not your story?

Actually, the more silent you are, the more it signifies your acquiescence!"

"Continue, Youzhi, it’s tiring to deal with this," the Emperor said.

"Yes!"

Ji Youzhi squatted in front of Lu Zezhong and gently continued the story.

"Normally in the Lu Family, Xiaorou was a despised maid whom anyone could tread upon, even with the young master’s protection. She attracted much gossip because she stayed by his side.

Later, in the palace, due to her master’s favor, her status rose rapidly.

Even the Empress couldn’t show them disrespect.

Thus, her ambition grew even larger, to become the Emperor’s woman.

The Emperor named her a consort, Consort Rou, and soon she was pregnant, giving birth to Princess Lianchun. The Emperor favored her even more; Consort Rou was quickly showered with favor throughout the palace, soon becoming Consort Rou.

In the entire Imperial Palace, only she bore the late Emperor’s child, and thus became Noble Consort Rou!

During Noble Consort Rou’s ennoblement ceremony, the former young master saw the maid who had become a noble consort.

The young master couldn’t believe the dignified and graceful noble consort was once the little maid by his side; he suddenly wanted to talk to her, but there was no opportunity!

Thus, in the middle of the night, the young master sneaked into the palace through an informant planted by the clan, secretly meeting the girl he longed for in the dead of night. They poured their hearts out, and old passions reignited.

Soon after, they found an opportunity, and during the crown prince’s birth celebration, especially on the full moon banquet, they brazenly met in the Imperial Garden behind the rockery. Unfortunately, they were carelessly spotted by a young eunuch. Initially, Consort Rou wanted to kill the young eunuch.

However, the young eunuch was quick-witted and immediately knelt down to pledge loyalty, becoming the messenger for the young master and maid!
