Chapter 70: offense is the best defense 1

The Duke's mansion.

Lu Yaozhu left after the servants were introduced, leaving the rest to Su Liya. Su Liya had little experience with these things and didn't understand how to handle the servants. Luckily, Lu Yaozhu already instructed Baozhai on everything because she carefully explained things to Su Liya.

Baozhai and Rong Rong looked capable so she just put them in charge of the choosing of servants. She was just in charge of making the final decision, a few hours later everything was set. She discovered that Baozhai and Rong Rong were very efficient maids trained by the Empress and the Lu family respectively. 

Lu Yaozhu was given seven days leave from court by the Emperor so apart from eating breakfast and dinner with her, he spent the rest of his time in his study. Apart from the wedding night, they slept separately but he still stopped by at her place to maintain appearances.
