Rebirth of the Revenge Queen

A man's voice came from outside the door.    

"Not yet. " Yi Lanyou answered and got off the bed. She picked up a coat and put it on before going to open the door. It was not anyone else outside the door. It was the official housekeeper of Lu Xinting, Uncle Lu.    

"Sorry to bother you. " Uncle Lu nodded respectfully and said.    

"It's so late. What's the matter?" Yi Lanyou asked.    

"patriarch invites you. " Uncle Lu said.    

"At this time?" Yi Lanyou raised her eyebrows.    

"Yes. " Uncle Lu nodded.    

"Alright, I got it. " "Please give me two minutes," Yi Lanyou said.    

"Okay. " Uncle Lu answered.    

The door closed again. Yi Lanyou quickly changed into a dress and tidied her hair in the mirror.    

"Youyou, do you need me to accompany you?" Xiang Jiu'er asked.    

"No need. You should sleep early. " Yi Lanyou looked at herself in the mirror. It was too late for her makeup. She only took out a lipstick from her makeup bag and applied it on her lips. She lifted her overall complexion and put on her sandals.    

"But. . . " Xiang Jiu'er paused for a moment and said, "Okay. "    

"Don't mess around. " Yi Lanyou gave a final warning and then went out.    

Seeing the door close, Xiang Jiu'er rolled her eyes and muttered: "Being caught is reckless. If no one is caught, then it is not considered reckless ~"    

On the other side, Yi Lanyou came out of the door and said to Uncle Lu, "Sorry, I have been waiting for a long time. "    

"This way, please. " Uncle Lu looked Yi Lanyou up and down and smiled. He took Yi Lanyou to the elevator and said, "patriarch is waiting for you on the fifth floor. "    

"The fifth floor?" Yi Lanyou's eyes lit up. She was worried that she could not find an excuse to go to the fifth floor.    

"Yes. " Uncle Lu answered and explained to Yi Lanyou, "patriarch likes quietness. He usually likes to stay on the fifth floor. "    

"Yes. " Yi Lanyou had already heard Lu Xinting talk about it during the day. Now she only nodded to show that she understood.    

"This way please. " When the elevator reached the fifth floor, Uncle Lu led Yi Lanyou out.    

"Okay. " Yi Lanyou responded and followed Uncle Lu out of the elevator.    

Looking around, Yi Lanyou found that the layout of the fifth floor was the same as other floors. With a huge glass skylight, the lighting should be better.    

Uncle Lu led Yi Lanyou to the study room and knocked on the door twice. "patriarch, Miss Yi is here. "    

"Come in. " Patriarch Lu's voice came from inside the room.    

"Please. " Uncle Lu opened the door and stood aside.    

"Thank you. " Yi Lanyou thanked him and walked in.    

The decoration of the study room was very simple. As soon as she entered, she could smell the faint scent of sandalwood.    

"Sit here. " Patriarch Lu sat behind the desk. In front of him was an ancient book. It was an ancient book made of leather and paper. Through the baptism of time, this ancient book was somewhat old.    

"Alright. " Yi Lanyou answered and sat opposite the desk. She looked at the book.    

"Miss Yi is also interested in ancient books?" Patriarch Lu asked.    

"Not interested. " Yi Lanyou answered honestly, "To be precise, I don't really understand. "    

"Hehe. " Patriarch Lu smiled and said, "Miss Yi is an honest person. "    

"Not really. " Yi Lanyou replied, "It is just that there is no value in lying. "    

"So Miss Yi also knows how to lie?" When Patriarch Lu said this, his eyes locked onto Yi Lanyou's eyes.    

"Of course. " Yi Lanyou smiled and said, "I was just lying. "    

"Haha. " Patriarch Lu smiled and said, "I called you over so late at night. I didn't disturb your rest, did I?"    

"No. " Yi Lanyou looked at the wooden clock hanging on the wall. "It's almost eleven o'clock. Do you usually sleep so late?"    

"Yes, you can't sleep when you are old. " Patriarch Lu smiled and said, "I have a light sleep, Young Master Meng. I keep thinking about the past. It is very boring. "    

"Is that so?" Yi Lanyou said, saying, "I have a friend who studied medicine. If you don't mind, you can let her prescribe a few sleeping prescriptions. "    

"The medicine has 30% poison. I don't dare to take it. " Patriarch Lu said.    

. . . "" Yi Lanyou curled her lips. It was not that she did not dare to take the medicine, but that she did not dare to take the prescription she gave.    

"Does your head still hurt now?" Patriarch Lu pointed at Yi Lanyou's forehead and asked.    

"It is much better now. " Yi Lanyou removed the gauze before she took a bath. She only left the cloth and let Xiang Jiu'er handle it. Now it did not look as serious as before.    

"The first time you came to L City, you encountered this kind of thing. . . " Patriarch Lu helplessly shook his head and said, "Really. . . "    

"Patriarch Lu, a straightforward person does not speak secretly. " Yi Lanyou interrupted Patriarch Lu's words and leaned forward slightly and said, "You already know who the mastermind is, right?"    

"Patriarch Lu paused for a moment and looked at Yi Lanyou but did not say anything.    

"You know, I know too. " Yi Lanyou tapped the table with her finger and said, "But this mastermind does have some background. I can't touch her, and you can't move either. "    

"Why would Miss Yi say that?" Patriarch Lu secretly guessed Yi Lanyou's intentions.    

"Lu Family is one of the seven big families, but it is too much to keep a low profile. Xin Ting also said that this is the first time she has invited a friend to stay at home, Patriarch Lu. " Yi Lanyou looked into Patriarch Lu's eyes and asked, "Could it be that you are hiding from someone?"    

"What a joke. " Patriarch Lu smiled, "There is no need for Lu Family to hide from anyone. "    

"Let me guess. " Yi Lanyou looked at Patriarch Lu and asked, "The person you hide from. . . Has something to do with me?"    

"Patriarch Lu's heart skipped a beat. This was Yi Lanyou deliberately making it clear that she was with that person. Was there a connection?    

"Is it related to the other families in Z Country?" Yi Lanyou asked again.    

. . . "" Patriarch Lu looked at Yi Lanyou. What was she reminding him about?    

"Patriarch Lu, although a wise man knows when to submit to circumstances, one must always have a bottom line. . . " Yi Lanyou looked at Patriarch Lu and said.    

"You should hear this for yourself. " Patriarch Lu continued, "There should be a limit to helping the enemy. "    

"Isn't it a bit late to say it for me?" Yi Lanyou stood up and put her hands on the table. Her face froze.    

"Yi Lanyou, what is your purpose for coming to Lu Family?" Patriarch Lu looked at Yi Lanyou and asked.    

"Did Patriarch Lu forget that you invited me to your birthday?" Yi Lanyou replied.    

"I did give you a chance," Patriarch Lu said. Patriarch Lu looked at Yi Lanyou and said, "You don't have to be delusional. "    

"It is not certain whether you are delusional or not. " Yi Lanyou looked at Patriarch Lu and said, "I will tell you directly. I came with a purpose. "    

"Patriarch Lu's eyes darkened.    

As expected.    

"I want to find out who caused my grandfather's family to fall twenty years ago. " Yi Lanyou said.
