Chapter 27: Moving into the Eighth Prince’s Mansion (1)
Time passed very quickly, and on the first day of September in the 20th year of Jian'an, the day when the concubine of the Prime Minister's Office came out of the cabinet.
"Miss, today is your wedding day. Why doesn't the master come to see you?" Lu Rong looked at Du Ruoyuan, who was as quiet as usual, and was puzzled.
Lu Youruo slowly combed her black hair and returned: "Pack the things you need to bring with you. We may never come back to this place again!"
For Youruo, the Prime Minister's Mansion is just an apartment, not a home. Here, the original owner has no mother, but having a father is just like having no father.
"Miss, do you really want to..." Lu Rong hesitated, wanting to say something but not daring to say it.
Lu Youruo put down the wooden comb and replied with empty eyes: "Xiao Rongrong, just think of it as a change of place to live, everything else remains the same!"
Wearing a mask, even though today was her wedding day, she unusually wore a white dress.
Someone finally came to Du Ruoyuan. Lu Youruo had seen him before. It was the old housekeeper from last time.
"Fourth Miss, the Eighth Prince's sedan chair has stopped at the door." Mr. Li's usual tone showed neither the targeting of Youruo nor the respect for Youruo's status as the legitimate daughter.
Lu Youruo stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, thank you for your hard work. We are leaving the house now."
"Miss Fourth, is there anything you can help me with?" Mr. Li looked around and saw two bundles on the table, but nothing else.
Lu Youruo returned: "No need, there is nothing to bring."
On her wedding day, she simply took her money and clothes and left, and she didn't need any charity from the Prime Minister's Office for anything else.
Arriving at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Youruo saw a few boys carrying a sedan.
Fortunately, the Eighth Prince was not stingy and asked Youruo to walk to the Prince's Mansion.
You Ruo opened the door curtain of the sedan and went in alone. Lu Rong had to stay outside the sedan and follow on foot.
"Did that ugly girl really enter the Eighth Prince's house?"
"She is just a concubine, and she has a sedan chair from the prince's palace. It really flatters her!"
"If you marry me, you might not live long. The ghost king transforms into an evil ghost every month. It would be strange if he doesn't eat the ugly girl first!"
In the streets where the sedan passed, the voices of the people's discussions were transmitted into the sedan, and You Ruo could hear them clearly.
How could Lu Youruo believe that the Ghost King turned into an evil ghost? She was very interested in exploring Zhai Xiying's secret.
In the center of the capital, less than half an hour later, the sedan stopped at the entrance of the Eighth Prince's Mansion.
"Miss, we're here!" Lu Rong said outside the sedan.
"Well!" You Ruo took two bundles and got out of the sedan.
‘Prince Ying’s Mansion’, Youruo looked at the plaque at the door. It turns out that the Eighth Prince was named Prince Ying?
A pretty girl in purple walked out of Prince Ying's palace and said disdainfully to You Ruo: "Miss Lu, follow me!"
Girl? Yes, it’s good to call Youruo girl. In ancient times, the status of a concubine was actually not much different from that of a servant.
After going around in circles, far away from the entrance of the palace, the girl in purple stopped.
"Miss Lu, the prince has ordered that you will live here from now on!" After the girl in purple finished speaking, she walked away.
Youruo stared at this small house. The outside was covered with spider webs, and the ground was bare, not even a root of grass growing.
"Miss, isn't this eighth prince too bullying?" Lu Rong swept away the cobwebs with his hands and prepared to push the door open.
"Wait!" Youruo stopped Lu Rong's movement, "Take this with you!" Youruo pulled out a handkerchief.
Lu Rong put the handkerchief on his face and pushed the door hard. Lu Youruo also put his hand on the mask.
As soon as the door opened, a thick layer of dust fell down.
"Ahem~ Miss, is this a place for people to live in?" Even though Lu Rong was wearing a handkerchief, he still choked on the thick dust.
Lu Youruo waited for the dust to stop flying, then crossed the threshold and walked in, "It's okay, let's clean it up and then we can move in!"
