The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

Chapter 338 Breaking into the Duke's Mansion at Night

"My young lady is the legitimate daughter of Duke Meng. She asked me to give this letter to you." As he spoke, the servant took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Li Yue.

Li Yue was about to open the letter when she heard the servant say, "Young lady, please don't open it. Our young lady has instructed that the letter must be opened by the Marquis herself."

"Oh? It's not for me? It's for Sister Qing?" Li Yue was full of questions. Why was he looking for her if it wasn't for her?

"My young lady told you to give it to the Marquis."

"Wouldn't it be better if she sent you directly to the Marquis' Mansion?"

"This... I am just a servant of the Duke's Mansion. I am just delivering a message for the young lady. How dare I guess what the young lady is thinking?"

Li Yue took the letter and said, "Okay, tell your young lady, I will give the letter to the Marquis's wife."

"Thank you, young lady." The servant thanked her and left.

Su Qing didn't come, so Li Yue put the letter away. She didn't know it was a letter from Meng Zhiyuan asking for help, she just thought it was an invitation letter!

Li Shang had been here for three consecutive days but hadn't seen the person he was thinking about again, so he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

On the way home, Li Shang asked Li Yue, "Why haven't you seen Madam Hou come these days?"

"You don't want to see the Marquis, you want to see Miss Meng, right? Hehe~"

Li Shang's thoughts were exposed by Li Yue's words. He couldn't help but look a little shy.

"Don't talk nonsense. Be careful, there are ears behind the walls. If you ruin Miss Meng's reputation, I will not forgive you."

"Oh~ You haven't even started yet! You don't want your sister anymore? Sigh... I've been washing your clothes, cooking for you, and taking care of you for nothing every day. You have no conscience."

"You are very good at talking now, right? Who did you learn this from? I want to learn from you too."

"Humph~ I won't tell you. If you learn it, I won't be able to win the argument with you, right?"

"Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. You are so capable, isn't that enough? Tell me quickly, has the Marquis's wife come in the past two days?"

"No. What do you want to talk to Sister Qing about?"

"It's nothing, just a small thing I want to ask her."

"Oh, I wonder if Sister Qing will come tomorrow. Miss Meng even wrote a letter and asked me to give it to Sister Qing!"

"Then why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Who should I tell? Sister Qing isn't here again."

"Tell me, my silly sister."

"What's the point of telling you? The letter isn't for you."

"Let's go to the Marquis' Mansion now. You give the letter to the Marquis's wife and hear what she says."

"It's already so late, it won't be too late to give it to her tomorrow? Maybe she will come to Jishiditang tomorrow?"

"Oh~ My dear sister, let's go quickly. I will buy you new clothes tomorrow."

"Really? Well, let's go to the Marquis' Mansion."

The brother and sister came to the marquis's mansion, but Li Shang did not go in. Instead, he waited for Li Yue outside the mansion.

The servant brought Li Yue to Su Qing's yard.

"Sister Qing~"

Su Qing saw that it was Li Yue and quickly stood up, "What's wrong? What happened to Jishidiang?"

"Can't I come to see Sister Qing for something else?" Li Yue pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Su Qing couldn't help but laugh when she saw Li Yue pouting her lips. "Hahaha, Li Yue, go look in the mirror. Your pouting lips are so tight that they could tie up two donkeys!"

"Hmph~Sister Qing will always laugh at me! I won't pay any attention to you." After saying that, he handed the letter to Su Qing and pretended to leave.

Su Qing looked at the letter that Li Yue put in her hand and pulled Li Yue. "What is this?"

"This was delivered by the servant of Duke Meng's residence a few days ago. He said it was a letter from Miss Meng to you, and asked me to personally deliver it to you. But I saw that Sister Qing hadn't come in the past few days, so I was afraid that there was something urgent. I sent it to you so as not to delay you."

Su Qing quickly opened the letter, in which Meng Zhiyuan told Su Qing that she was imprisoned by her father and mother, and asked Su Qing to find a way to rescue her. Su Qing could not help but frown, she did not expect Meng Zhiyuan to encounter such a thing.

Li Yue saw that Su Qing's face was not very good, so she asked: "Sister Qing, but did something happen to Miss Meng?"

Su Qing sighed, handed the letter to Li Yue, and said, "Take a look for yourself."

Li Yue took the letter, read it quickly, then looked up at Su Qing in surprise and said, "This...what should we do? Miss Meng has been imprisoned by her parents. How can we save her?"

Su Qing was silent for a moment, thinking about countermeasures. She knew that this matter was not simple, and if she was not handled carefully, it might cause greater trouble.

"We need to understand the situation first." Su Qing said, "Why did Meng Zhiyuan's parents imprison her? What happened? Only when we figure out the reason can we come up with a suitable solution."

"But I can't understand. Isn't she the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion? Why did her father imprison her?"

Su Qing did not answer Li Yue's question, but she could vaguely guess the reason. It must be because Meng Zhiyuan told Duke Meng after returning home that she did not want to marry her fifth brother. Otherwise, judging from Meng Zhiyuan's personality, she is the one who has the final say in the Duke's Mansion. Duke Meng and Madam Meng both dote on her. It must be a big deal that they could imprison her.

"Li Yue, please go back first. Let me think about it."

Li Yue left the Marquis' Mansion with a heavy heart.

Li Shang saw Li Yue coming out and hurried forward to ask, "Did you hear what Madam Hou said in the letter?"

"Brother~Why are you so concerned about this? You don't really want to... No, no, that's the Duke's Mansion, how can we marry him? Besides, Miss Meng has already set a date with the fifth son of the General's Mansion, and they are about to get married, you'd better not..."

"Aren't they married yet? Then don't I still have a chance?"

"Brother, why have you become like this now?"

"Miss Meng, where did you plan to go with Madam Hou?"

Li Yue shook her head, "No."

"What happened? Did you hear it? Tell your brother now, I'm so worried."

"Sister Qing said that Miss Meng was imprisoned by Duke Meng. I asked her why, but Sister Qing said she didn't know. I only knew that Miss Meng asked Sister Qing for help and asked Sister Qing to rescue her. I don't know anything else."

"Imprisoned? Miss Meng was imprisoned?"

"Yeah, I find it strange too! Why is Miss Meng suddenly imprisoned?"

Li Shang thought about it and wondered, could it be... Of course, this was just his guess.

Li Shang was worried all the way, and Li Yue didn't ask much.

After Li Yue fell asleep, Li Shang thought for a while, then got up and walked out.

He wanted to see Meng Zhiyuan. The desire was so strong that he was afraid he would go crazy if he couldn't see her again.

So he planned to break into the Duke's Mansion at night to see her. Li Shang knew that the Duke's Mansion was heavily guarded, but with his skills, it would be easy for him to get in.

I just want to find Meng Zhiyuan's room, but it may be a little difficult.

Li Shang flew to the roof and looked down. He saw a yard with people guarding the front and back. He guessed that was the place.

Then Li Shang used his Qinggong to fly over, flew to the roof and took down a tile, and saw Meng Zhiyuan sitting in front of the window in a daze, thinking about something, looking a little sad. So he put the tile away, knocked out the guard behind him, pushed open the window, and jumped in.

Meng Zhiyuan heard the noise and looked out the back window. "Who is it?"
