Yuan Wanru transmigrated into a book and, by a twist of fate, married the male lead, Lu Jiangnian. Before their marriage, he coldly and heartlessly declared, “I will marry you, but I will never a...
Chapter 378 Lu Bai is a little broken
Zhou Fang twisted the handkerchief fiercely.
Did the old woman take the wrong medicine again?
For no reason, she actually wanted her and her sister-in-law to serve her meals?
She and her elder sister-in-law have been married to the Lu family for decades. Now their children have grown up, her elder sister-in-law has a daughter-in-law, and her son is about to get married. In such an occasion, they have to serve at meals. Isn't this humiliating?
Zhou Fang's eyebrows were raised, and her voice suddenly rose: "Old Madam, are you trying to embarrass your daughter-in-law? I have been married to the Lu family for nearly 20 years, and Jiang Xun is about to get married, but now you want me to set the rules?"
Wang Min slowly smoothed the wrinkles on her sleeves and looked up at Aunt Shen who was standing behind the old lady with a calm face: "Don't worry, second brother and sister-in-law. In my opinion, someone didn't serve her well and made the old lady unhappy."
"Since Aunt Shen has displeased the old lady, then Aunt Shen will be punished by being confined to her house for three months and having to copy the "Book of Filial Piety" a hundred times. What do you think, my second brother and his wife?"
Zhou Fang smiled lightly: "Sister-in-law is right, Shen, it's all your fault, just accept the punishment."
Aunt Shen's face suddenly changed, and she could only look at Old Madam Lu, angry but unable to speak.
The old lady slammed the table, shaking with anger: "Rebellion! Rebellion! Second brother, listen to this! This is what your sister-in-law and your wife said!"
"I told you they were bullying an old woman like me, but you didn't believe me."
"My life is so miserable. My two sons both got married and forgot about their mother. They don't even let me have a meal that I like. What sin have I committed?"
"I think you are the ones who should copy the Book of Filial Piety! Second brother, are you just going to watch your mother being humiliated?"
When Madam Lu threw a tantrum, the younger generations all lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
Yuan Wanru watched with great interest, looking forward to seeing Old Lady Lu take effect of the poison.
Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Lu Bai's forehead, and he was in a dilemma.
He looked at Zhou Fang, whose face was livid, and then at his elder sister-in-law, who looked calm, and had no choice but to try to smooth things over: "Mother, it's so hot, let's stop making a fuss and finish the feast early."
Old Lady Lu threw the silver chopsticks to the ground with a loud bang.
"I don't care!" the old lady shouted at the top of her voice, "if they don't serve me dinner today, I will starve to death here!"
Lu Bai took a deep breath and said to Zhou Fang: "Madam, how about..."
"What else?" Zhou Fang sneered, her eyes wide open.
"Master, have you forgotten that the old master said that the Lu family doesn't practice such false etiquette?"
She glanced at the old lady meaningfully, "Or is it that someone is so old and confused that he has to imitate the behavior of those poor people?"
"How dare you!" The old lady slammed the table, and the dishes on the table clattered.
"Grandma, calm down."
Lu Jiangxun quickly stood up and saluted, his handsome face full of sincerity, "Grandson is willing to fulfill his filial duties on behalf of his parents."
The old lady looked at her most beloved grandson, her expression slightly relieved: "Xun'er is now an official appointed by the court, how can he..."
"Some people are just shameless and don't know how to respect their elders. I've eaten so much rice for nothing for so many years."
“
"The officials appointed by the imperial court should set an example."
Yuan Wanru met her gaze and suddenly spoke, her voice as clear and cold as broken jade, "The Book of Filial Piety says: 'If one does not love his own parents but loves others, it is said to be against morality.'"
Her eyes were like knives, piercing the old lady, "I just don't know if forcing the court officials to serve in public is considered a violation of the 'etiquette' that the saints talked about?"
The whole room was suddenly silent.
The old lady's face turned pale and blue. She was about to lose her temper, but when she saw Yuan Wan's icy gaze, she shuddered and couldn't say the rest of the words.
All the children of the Lu family are here. If Yuan Wanru called her "shameless" on the spot, wouldn't her prestige be completely destroyed?
Madam Lu's originally angry mind suddenly became clear at this moment.
It was all because of Aunt Shen’s instigation that she saw this evil star again.
She sat down with gritted teeth and snatched the chopsticks from Aunt Shen's hand: "Forget it, forget it, I'll eat by myself, let's eat."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of cherry flesh and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound.
Aunt Shen stood in the shadows, watching the old lady wolfing down the food, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.
She deliberately added a few more spoonfuls of honey into the cherry flesh. The more happily Old Lady Lu was eating it, the faster she would have an orgasm.
Mrs. Lu had already started eating, so naturally everyone could start eating.
However, because of this farce, the atmosphere of the banquet was particularly depressing.
As they were eating, Aunt Shen saw that everyone had almost finished their meal, so she walked over to Lu Sha and said, "Sixth Miss, please go out with me for a while. I have something to tell you."
Lu Sha looked innocent and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Aunt Shen didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly. Lu Sha thought Aunt Shen was very strange, but she could see that Aunt Shen looked a little anxious. She didn't say anything else, left her seat, and was about to leave the flower hall with Aunt Shen.
Yuan Wanru was always paying attention to Aunt Shen's movements. Seeing this scene, she asked loudly, "Sixth sister, where are you going?"
Although there were several tables of people sitting in the flower hall, no one spoke. Yuan Wanru's words attracted everyone's attention.
Wang Min was anxious and watched the situation develop.
Aunt Shen tightened her grip on Lu Sha's hand and answered Yuan Wanru before Lu Sha could.
"Madam, the Sixth Miss needs to change her clothes. I will take her out for a while."
Yuan Wanru looked at her with a half-smile, then looked at Lu Sha who looked confused: "Is that so?"
Lu Sha really wanted to say that this was not the case.
But her aunt's pinched her hand, which hurt so much that her aunt's hand was shaking.
She felt that something was very strange.
However, although Lu Sha was young, she knew to protect her mother.
"That's right, sister-in-law, I need to go change my clothes."
Yuan Wanru smiled, turned around and told Aunt Pang: "Take the Sixth Miss to change her clothes. Aunt Shen, I have something to talk to you about. Please come over here."
Aunt Shen felt cold in her heart.
Could it be that Yuan Wanru knew her plan?
However, she did all this very secretly and it was impossible for her to be discovered.
Besides, what if they discovered it? The poison has already entered his stomach, and even a great immortal would be powerless to save him.
Aunt Shen doesn't know Yuan Wanru's true ability yet, because her source of information is Liang Shangjiong.
Lu Sha was at a loss, holding Aunt Shen's hand and refusing to let go.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that if she let go, her aunt might disappear.
Aunt Shen patted her head and said, "Just follow Aunt Pang. It's okay."
Old Madam Lu glanced at Yuan Wanru impatiently. She was always troublesome.
However, she didn't plan to say anything. The meal made her feel so upset that she had no energy to pay attention to Yuan Wanru.
After Lu Sha left the flower hall, Aunt Shen walked up to Yuan Wanru and said, "Madam, what do you want me to do?"
Yuan Wanru looked her up and down, smiling coldly: "I didn't expect you to be such an excellent spy. You can keep your composure at this moment."
Aunt Shen's pupils shrank.
Yuan Wanru, as expected, knew the truth.
Lu Bai opened his mouth wide and looked at Aunt Shen in disbelief, suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.
He stood up suddenly and pointed at Aunt Shen, "Wanru, are you joking?"
If there is something fishy going on with Pan, how come there is also something fishy going on with Shen?
Who on earth keeps putting people like this around him?
This was the first time he wanted to kill someone.
