The maidservant is too charming. I want to help her become the queen.

Chapter 81: Running Away from Home but Being Caught

Be a concubine?

Lu Qingqing's expression immediately changed.

Xiao Tao hurried forward to smooth things over for Lu Panpan and told her what had happened to them on the grass just now.

"My lady, please don't misunderstand me. Miss Panpan didn't mean that."

"When we were picking wild vegetables just now, Miss Panpan accidentally contradicted Concubine Shu. That's why she said those words in anger. My lady, please don't take it to heart."

But Lu Panpan didn't appreciate Xiaotao's kindness at all.

She covered her swollen face with her hands, her eyes filled with tears, and gave Xiaotao a harsh look.

Xiaotao immediately fell silent.

She tried to defend Lu Panpan with good intentions, but ended up being blamed, so she stopped talking.

Lu Panpan ignored Lu Qingqing's unhappy expression and continued to refuse to give in.

"Shu Fei called my sister a savage, so I naturally had to argue with her and stand up for my sister!"

Hearing her say this, Lu Qingqing felt a little comforted.

She called Erxi to get the bottle of Fairy Jade Cream and personally applied the medicine to Lu Panpan.

The Jade Cream gave off a slight cool feeling when applied to the red and swollen areas, which could relieve the swelling and clear away the heat, making it very comfortable. After a while, the swelling on Lu Panpan's face subsided a lot.

Lu Qingqing was quick and agile and quickly applied the ointment on her sister.

However, she still felt a little bothered by her sister's wish to become a concubine.

"Pan Pan, I know you are doing this for my sister's good, but you are still young and don't know how difficult life in the palace is."

"Before you become strong enough, you should be cautious. Promise me that you will be careful in everything from now on, okay?"

Lu Panpan nodded obediently.

But she secretly thought that her sister had become a noble lady and could enjoy great wealth and status in the palace, eating and drinking delicious food every day!

I didn't expect that when my sister was bullied, I could only endure it in silence. What a coward!

But she concealed her inner thoughts very well and still acted as if she understood but not really.

Lu Qingqing thought she had calmed her sister down, so she continued to ask:

"Pan Pan, can you tell me why you want to be a concubine?"

Lu Panpan was instantly intrigued by this topic and her eyes lit up.

"After the Concubine Xian knew my background, she told me that my sister was also a palace maid before she became a concubine."

"I also want to live a life of luxury, with people serving me. Then I can show off my power in the palace and no longer be bullied."

"Since my sister can be a concubine, why can't I?"

Lu Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, and she accidentally dropped the bottle of Fairy Jade Cream onto the ground.

How bad is the relationship between Lu Panpan and the original owner!

If it were in the common people, Li Xuansheng would at least be considered her brother-in-law. How dare he covet her sister's man on the first day the sisters met!

I guess this sister has always been spoiled at home, so she dares to say such lawless words.

She originally wanted to keep Lu Panpan by her side to enjoy a peaceful life, but since the original owner was not around, she would step in and teach her the rules of being someone else's sister.

"stand up."

Lu Panpan was stunned, not understanding what her sister wanted her to do when she asked her to stand up.

"You can't understand people, can you?"

"stand up!"

Lu Qingqing looked fierce, and her voice suddenly became extremely oppressive, pretending to be a head teacher.

Lu Panpan was a palace maid, and Lu Qingqing was a noble. With her status, it was more than enough for her to teach a little palace maid a lesson.

Lu Panpan was obviously shocked by her sister's sudden change of mood.

Her mind went blank in an instant, and without thinking too much, she immediately stood up from the stool.

“Lu Panpan, as your elder sister, I actually didn’t realize that you have such great ambitions.”

"We haven't seen each other for many years. On the first day we met, you can't wait to snatch a man from your sister, right?"

"Is this how your parents raised you at home?!"

Unexpectedly, instead of reflecting on herself, Lu Panpan felt that her sister was blocking her path to becoming a favored concubine.

Who doesn’t want to be a favored concubine wearing gold and silver?

She also wants gorgeous dresses, the grandeur of being surrounded by people, and even more so, she desires the pleasure of standing next to a man at the pinnacle of power.

Lu Panpan bit her slightly pale lips tightly and looked at Lu Qingqing steadily, as if she was very dissatisfied.

Since her sister is unwilling to help her, she will just stop begging her!

Lu Panpan said nothing, wiped the tears from her cheeks with her sleeves twice, and ran out of the tent without looking back.

No matter how Xiaotao and Erxi chased her, she refused to look back at them.

Lu Panpan's pace was so fast that she was soon hidden in the outlines of the tents. Xiaotao and Erxi were exhausted and out of breath, but they still couldn't catch up.

The two of them were dejected and hurried back to their tent.

"Oh no, my lady. Miss Panpan's pace is really fast. I am incompetent and have lost her."

"If it's lost, it's lost." Lu Qingqing said unhappily.

She had a helpless look on her face, her eyes were tightly closed, and her slender fingers kept rubbing her temples.

Teenagers are so stubborn!

She thought that Lu Panpan didn't know anyone else in the palace, and she had nowhere to go except returning to her own tent.

"Let her run away. When she figures it out, she'll know to come back."

However, Lu Qingqing waited and waited in the tent, but when it was almost time for dinner, Lu Panpan still hadn't returned.

She fidgeted in the tent, fiddling with the poles supporting the felt cloth, then moving the package she would take with her on her journey tomorrow.

Xiaotao noticed her anxiety.

"My lady, Miss Panpan hasn't come back for a long time. Let's go out and look for her."

Lu Qingqing sighed.

After all, Panpan is the original owner's biological sister. Even if he is angry, he must at least protect her personal safety.

She nodded and said, "Let's go and look for Panpan."

At this time, Lu Panpan was squatting on the grass where they were picking wild vegetables, in a daze.

Night is approaching and the night wind is rising.

The wind blew sparsely on the meadow, making a rustling sound.

Although she was not crying at the moment, the smudged patterns of makeup at the corners of her eyes betrayed the fact that she had cried.

Lu Panpan wrapped her slender arms around her thighs and buried most of her face in her body, leaving only a pair of narrow and long almond-shaped eyes that blinked from time to time.

"Why can't I be a concubine?"

"My sister is so angry today, it's nothing more than worrying that I will become a concubine and share her favor in the future."

"I don't want to be a slave in the palace for the rest of my life."

Lu Panpan was muttering to himself when the guards on night patrol noticed something strange in the grass.

"Who's there!" the leading guard shouted.

Lu Panpan's feet slipped and she fell to the ground without paying attention.

Dozens of guards immediately stepped forward to surround her, with sharp spears emitting cold silver light, pointing directly in front of Lu Panpan.

She screamed with fear.

"What are you doing? I'm not a bad person!"

"I am the biological sister of Ming Guiren, you can't arrest me!"
