The heroine takes revenge on me, I am a sickly girl, I conquer the country and enjoy happiness

The carriage drove into Lihua Lane under the swirling west wind.

This area is dotted with mansions of aristocratic families. They are simple and majestic, with a heavy sense of history. The silent solemnity also demonstrates the majesty of the powerful class.

The sound of horse hooves stepping on the blue bricks made a clear sound. After leaving the two main streets, the number of pedestrians gradually became sparse, and even the cars became much more stable.

Lu Ningshuang opened the curtain, leaned her elbows on the window, and admired the blue bricks and black tiles slowly receding. She thought to herself that after the overall situation stabilized, she must ask Lu Yingxue to repair the streets in the city and the official roads connecting various places.

It was really annoying for the carriage to travel on the bumpy road.

Jinyang was at most a second-rate city within the State of Qi. Its land was not fertile, its population was not large, and its business was not very prosperous.

Several streets are rammed earth roads instead of being paved with blue bricks, making them dirty and difficult to walk on when it rains.

Xiao Churan returned to his fiefdom and started to prosper. It has been several years since then, and ordinary people can only make a living.

It can also be seen from here that Emperor Mingde is on guard against Xiao Churan.

Lu Ningshuang ate the cake that Jiang Shuo had drawn of a picture of lonely smoke in the desert and horses drinking in a clear stream. She really wanted to walk around and take a look.

However, in the feudal era, transportation became a big problem.

She really couldn't imagine being jostled in a carriage for a month or two.

Suddenly, two women appeared in sight, with their buttocks sticking up and peeking furtively at the west door. When someone was called over to ask, it was found that they were the daughters of the prefect's mansion. It seemed that they had heard the news that Jiang Shuo was in Lu's mansion and came to wait in ambush.

Since he was not an assassin and his elder held an important position, the palace guards ignored him. Unexpectedly, they were seen by the second young lady.

"What are you looking at? Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Lu Ningshuang appeared behind the two of them like a ghost. Miss Li was obviously not well-informed, otherwise she would not have been waiting at the west door of the mansion which was used for purchases.

"Of course I'm watching..."

Realizing something was wrong halfway through their conversation, the master and servant turned their heads stiffly, and when they saw a third face appear in front of them, they screamed.

"Ah!!! Ghost!"

Li Youwei beat his chest wildly and asked more questions than the maid:

"who are you?"

Lu Ningshuang put her arms around Miss Li's waist, moved closer to her, and gently ruffled the hair beside her ears with her fingertips.

"Sister Youwei, you're at my doorstep, asking who I am?"

In the dim light, Li Youwei saw the appearance of the person clearly. Unlike the weak and lovely girl when they first met, Miss Lu now gave her an unspoken sense of oppression.

Especially when she is dressed in twilight and her snow-white hair makes her look somewhere between a fairy and a devil.

Not sure if it was out of guilt or something, Li Youwei forgot about Jiang Shuo and asked hesitantly:

"Second Miss, you, your hair..."

Lu Ningshuang saw sympathy in her eyes, raised her hand and gently touched her forehead, raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly:

"It's just a serious illness... It's almost dark and curfew is coming. Did Sister Youwei come to see me on purpose?"

She was gentle and melancholy, and the cold and world-weary feeling she exuded made Li Youwei feel guilty.

"Well, I..."

Miss Li doesn't dare to say that I'm here to steal your man.

"Yeah, it's getting late. I'll come play with you another day. I'm leaving now!"

Li Youwei abandoned her maid and ran away, cursing herself for being spineless all the way.

As soon as he returned home, he was caught by his grandfather.

"Where have you been fooling around again? Look at yourself, do you still look like a lady from a noble family? Look at others..."

Li Youwei curled her lips and repeated her grandfather's lines in a low voice, repeating the same words over and over again until her ears were callused.

"Okay, okay, I'm sleepy, I'm going to bed!"

After listening to the scolding for a while, he covered his ears and ran away.

"Hey, you girl!"

The daughter's mind is very confused, and the man is also worried.

Fu Nanjia held a crystal tassel lamp in his hand and brought Lu Ningshuang in through the wall behind the tea room.

The steps were zigzag-shaped, with a smooth slope on the right, which was obviously for his own convenience.

After turning around the passage, the view suddenly opened up.

This is a rectangular room, with a layout similar to the tea room above, divided into two rooms by a light blue curtain.

On one side there are ebony bookshelves and desks, and on the other side there are low couches, kang tables, screens, etc.

The room was very bright. In addition to the crane wall lamp on the wall, there was also a crystal chandelier hanging above. The white candles inside had been lit in advance.

Walking through this room is the bedroom. According to Lu Ningshuang's request, it faces the bedroom above and is equipped with a sound transmission mechanism, so the movements from the outside world can be clearly heard but the movements will not be transmitted to the outside world.

Walking past the bed, two supporting pillars come into view, with shark oil lamps hanging above them that never go out day or night. Through the refraction of transparent glass, the light is gathered onto the shade-tolerant flowers and plants around the pillars.

Along the way, every design of the secret room can be regarded as ingenious, but the most distinctive one is the place that Fu Nanjia called "surprise".

The room was located under a lotus pond in the courtyard. A piece of high-strength colorless glazed glass tilted at about 30 degrees served as the ceiling. The lights in the courtyard faintly penetrated the pond water and the glazed glass, forming fish-scale-like floating light on the floor and walls of the secret room.

Looking up, you can see the koi in the pond gently wagging their tails.

Under the ceiling is a water tank with a diameter of one meter, and a golden lotus is planted in the tank.

It happened to be the Moon Festival gift that Lu Jie gave to Lu Ningshuang.

Three meters to the left of the highest side of the glazed ceiling, there hangs a giant crystal lamp that is three meters high and two meters in diameter, composed of countless white orchids carved from crystal.

The innermost light source is a fist-sized luminous stone that emits a gentle apricot-yellow light.

To the lower left of the lamp, there is a carved huanghuali soft couch.

Fu Nanjia pulled Lu Ningshuang into his arms, and together they admired the night view in the secret room, sighing with regret:

"In fact, it looks best in the summer, when the sunlight is strong enough to cast shadows on the lotus and koi. The lamp next to it is to compensate for the lack of sunlight.

Xiaoguai, I like this place the most, how about you?

How about you come up with a name?"

Fu Nanjia put aside the quarrel that took place during the day, and obviously thought that the girl had given in by coming to inspect the secret room.

Lu Ningshuang folded her hands on his shoulders and whispered in his ear:

"How about calling me Shuiyue Jinghua?"

"Water Moon Mirror Flower..." Fu Nanjia seemed to be thinking about something, "Not bad."

There was a sudden sharp pain on one side of her neck, and her limbs quickly became stiff. Fu Nanjia looked at the insect on the girl's fingertips and asked in disbelief:

"Little cutie, what are you doing?"

Lu Ningshuang touched the man's charming face, frowned and looked at him with sad eyes.

"Brother, I was really sad when you questioned me and doubted me this morning.

I had already made up my mind that one person who hurt me would be enough, but I was willing to give my brother a chance.

Since you like it here, you can live here.

This opportunity is only available once, I have no regrets in killing Jing Shiyue."
