Zhu Yuxiu didn't know why, and was pushed into the car in a confused way. A man was already sitting in the car, sharing the same car with a foreign man. Zhu Yuxiu was very uncomfortable and couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Where are we going?"

But the man glared at her and scolded: "Quiet."

Zhu Yuxiu frowned, holding back his displeasure. At this time, she noticed water stains on the soles of the other party's shoes, as if they had just come from the river. Zhu Yuxiu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted.

This is not someone sent by Governor Lu, this is an internal response!

The moment Zhu Yuxiu noticed something was wrong, she immediately called out for help, but the person behind her covered her mouth one step ahead of her and hit her hard. Zhu Yuxiu rolled her eyes and fainted.

When Zhu Yuxiu woke up again, she found that her hands were tied and her mouth was stuffed with a cloth ball. The ceiling is very low, and the floor behind her is shaking rhythmically. Zhu Yuxiu was born near the water when she was young, and immediately realized that she was tied to the boat.

Zhu Yuxiu's heart suddenly became cold. Suzhou rivers are everywhere. Today is the Qixi Festival. I don't know how many people are boating on the water. The other party hides her in the boat. When will the outsiders find her?

Anyone who didn't know Governor Lu found out whether she was missing. Before she left, she didn't pack anything, even left the lights in the house. The soldiers guarding outside might think she was reading a book, and they stopped knocking on the door to ask questions.

Zhu Yuxiu sighed sadly. She moved her wrist slightly, trying to untie the rope. Her subtle voice alarmed the people outside, and the footsteps quickly approached her. Before Zhu Yuxiu could pretend to be dizzy, the cloth ball in his mouth was suddenly pulled away by a force.

The air rushed into her lungs in large clumps, and Zhu Yuxiu was finally able to breathe smoothly, but she didn't feel comfortable at all. Looking at the people in front of her, she stepped back subconsciously, and even her voice was trembling: "Who are you?"

"Miss Zhu." The woman who lured her out looked down at her, her face no longer showing the slightest kindness, "Your orphans, widowed mothers, my adults didn't want to embarrass you, but you really don't know what's good or bad. Say, the list is in where?"

Zhu Yuxiu was confused and asked in surprise, "What list?"

"Pretend." The woman crouched down and grabbed Zhu Yuxiu's hair. Zhu Yuxiu cried out in pain and was forced to face the woman, "It's your father's list that records the details of officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

Zhu Yuxiu widened her eyes and held her breath unconsciously. Seeing this, the woman said bitterly, "You really gave it to Lu Heng. Obediently write down the list, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhu Yuxiu swallowed and gritted his teeth, "I don't know."

After serving the dishes one after another, Wang Yanqing looked at the delicate and small dishes in front of him, and his first reaction turned out to be—would it be poisonous.

She sighed in her heart, she was considered a scourge by Lu Heng, and she could never go back to the time when people simply trusted each other. The Suzhou prefect's wife warmly entertained Wang Yanqing. Wang Yanqing excused her lack of appetite and took the food slowly. She only picked the dishes that the prefect's wife had eaten before using chopsticks.

After they served the food here, the hot plate was finally served downstairs, and the table was officially opened. The singers sat on the high platform and sang a little tune leisurely. They were clean servants who did not sell their jobs, but in a hall full of men, they were still unavoidable to be taken advantage of.

In Fengyue Field, whether to perform or sell, is it up to you to choose?

The women's family's box was covered with beaded curtains, so they could see the performance downstairs, but the people downstairs couldn't see them. Wang Yanqing smiled when she saw those women being called to toast, being frivolous. She couldn't stand it any longer and said, "I don't have any appetite tonight, so I might as well find some entertainment. It's too noisy downstairs. I can't hear what the singers are singing. Ask them to come up and sing."

A woman at the table was stunned. They are the wives of the official family, and they are like heaven and earth with the group of women who sell jokes. Official family members usually disdain these kind of foxes. Wang Yanqing wants to ask them to sing in the box?

The prefect's wife wondered: "Mrs. Lu, they are performing arts after all..."

"I know, what's wrong with listening to a piece of music?" Wang Yanqing said, as if she had just remembered, "I almost forgot, the prefect's wife is too delicate to smell incense powder. This... how about I find another box?"

The prefect's wife dared to let Wang Yanqing avoid it, and quickly said: "It's okay to do it. It's rare that Mrs. Lu is elegant, and it just so happens that I may not have heard the drama for a long time, so I will take the name of Mrs. Lu today and let me listen. "

The governor's wife had an order, and no one dared not to let people go. Soon, the singers, holding pipa, guzheng and other instruments, filed into the box.

The woman at the head bowed to Wang Yanqing and said, "I saw the governor's wife while I was setting down the jade bell."

Wang Yanqing nodded casually and said, "I first arrived in Suzhou, and I don't know much about the customs here. Pick a few famous songs in Suzhou and sing it yourself."

"Yes." Yu Zhongfu walked behind the screen with the entire team, rolled his fingers on the pipa strings twice, and opened his mouth, Gusu's old dream seemed to slowly flow out of her voice...

The women behind them, accompanied by the singing of the jade bell, played the zither, the serpent, and the chuīsheng, and slowly joined the team. Wang Yanqing looked very interested, and the prefect looked at this natural and unscrupulous appearance, and thought that she was really the doting wife held in the palm of his hand by the Governor Lu. of arrogance and naivety.
