Chapter 26 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Calculation

After the three members of the Su family escaped from Taohua Lane, they sneaked to Lu's residence.

Seeing the three of them in such a mess, Ji Ruzhen knew that the task had not been completed. She frowned and asked, "How did it become like this?"

Feng said, "We did everything you told us to do, but that little bitch wouldn't listen. I cried all day for nothing."

Su Fu said, "And her husband is also very capable. He asked us for proof and household registration documents right away..."

Su Rong said, "That Chunzhi is very thoughtful. She saw right away that we weren't her family. Not only did she refuse to acknowledge us, she even hit us with a cart! She even said she was going to report us to the police!"

They were hired by Ji Ruzhen to pretend to be Chunzhi's family. Their purpose was to trick Chunzhi away from Linshui Town and sell her to a remote place so that she would never see Lu Jingyun again in her life.

Let the people in Linshui Town never see her again, so that everyone will forget about her and Lu Jingyun, and no one will say that the prime minister's daughter stole someone else's husband.

Unfortunately, these three people were useless and not only did they fail to get anything done.

It made things even more difficult.

Ji Ruzhen felt a headache when she heard the three of them talking, and immediately interrupted, "So that's why you ran back? What are you afraid of if she reports it to the authorities? With me here, how can the county magistrate touch you?"

When the three members of the Su family saw Ji Ruzhen's unhappy expression, they immediately shut up.

Looking back, they didn't need to run when Haruji said she would report them to the police, but they were guilty...

Even with the prime minister's daughter backing him up, he was still driven away by Chunzhi.

Seeing the three of them like this, Ji Ruzhen knew that pretending to recognize each other and tricking Chunzhi into leaving Linshui Town would definitely not work. She waved her hand with a headache.

The maidservant beside her immediately said, "You useless piece of shit, why are you still getting in the way of Madam? Get out of here!"

“Yes, yes, yes…”

The three members of the Su family bowed and nodded and rolled out.

When they were leaving, Mrs. Lu happened to come over and saw them.

Old Madam Lu felt that Chunzhi's staying in Linshui Town would affect Lu Jingyun's reputation. After discussing with Ji Ruzhen, she told her that Chunzhi had a peach blossom birthmark on her lower back.

Old Madam Lu had no idea what Ji Ruzhen was going to do, and when she ran into these outsiders, her heart suddenly began to beat fast.

As Old Madam Lu walked into the front hall, she asked, "Who were those people just now..."

Seeing that it was her mother-in-law, Ji Ruzhen told her directly, "I originally wanted to have someone pretend to be Chunzhi's family and trick her into leaving Linshui Town and going far away to prevent her from damaging my reputation and my husband's. I never thought these three people were so stupid that Chunzhi actually saw through my plan."

"Chunzhi saw through it?" Mrs. Lu thought to herself, "What should we do now?"

Ji Ruzhen said, "What can I do? They don't dare to betray me anyway. But Chunzhi and her husband have been staying in Linshui Town. Whenever people in Linshui Town see them, they will talk about me and my husband. It's really annoying! Mother-in-law, do you have any other ideas?"

Although Ji Ruzhen and Lu Jingyun were only returning to their hometown to visit relatives, they would leave the town after picking up Old Madam Lu.

But Chunzhi and her husband will stay in Linshui Town. Ji Ruzhen feels uncomfortable whenever she thinks of them being here and the rumors spreading.

The person that Old Madam Lu cares about most in her life is Lu Jingyun. His future and reputation must not be ruined by Chunzhi.

So Madam Lu thought about it and actually came up with an idea. She told Ji Ruzhen, "Chunzhi lives in the tofu workshop in Taohua Lane now. When they bought it, it was written with Jingyun's name."

When Ji Ruzhen heard this, she immediately had an idea in her mind, "Mother-in-law, are you serious?"

"Of course it's true." Mrs. Lu said, "I remember it clearly."

"That's easy."

Ji Ruzhen immediately ordered someone to find the original owner of the tofu workshop.

The original owner probably sold the tofu workshop because he was short of money. As long as she instructs the original owner to take back the tofu workshop from Chunzhi, Chunzhi will have no place to stay. She can also spread the word that Chunzhi will not be able to buy or rent a house in Linshui Town, and she and her husband will naturally leave here.

Madam Lu asked her, "Why are you looking for the original owner of the tofu workshop?"

Ji Ruzhen said, "You'll know when the time comes."

When Mrs. Lu saw her daughter-in-law's expression, she remembered that it was the same when she found out Chunzhi had a birthmark last time. She must have a better way to get rid of Chunzhi.

Old Madam Lu felt sorry for Chunzhi, but at the same time she felt that she was doing the right thing. She had to do this for Jingyun.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking when Lu Jingyun came back.

This was not the first time he had seen his mother and Ji Ruzhen sitting together and talking. When they saw him, they both seemed a little guilty.

Lu Jingyun felt a little strange and asked them with a smile, "What are mother and madam talking about?"

"Nothing much." Madam Lu said, "Just some recent rumors in Linshui Town."

When Lu Jingyun heard this, his expression became a little subtle.

The biggest rumor in Linshui Town recently is that the top scholar abandoned his child bride and married the prime minister's daughter.

If Mrs. Lu told Ji Ruzhen this at home, it would be really weird.

Ji Ruzhen also felt that her mother-in-law's explanation was full of loopholes, and quickly said, "Mother-in-law is telling me some interesting stories about my husband's childhood."

"Really?" Lu Jingyun didn't quite believe this statement.

Because almost all the interesting things that happened in his childhood were related to Haruji.

But my mother would never mention Chunzhi in front of Ji Ruzhen.

There was something wrong between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, but Lu Jingyun did not expose them. After chatting with them for a few words, he went to the study.

After Lu Jingyun returned to Linshui Town, he had many social engagements. Whenever he drank outside, he would always have a bowl of steaming hot hangover soup when he came back.

Harue always knows what he needs.

And it will be ready for him as soon as possible.

After marrying Ji Ruzhen, she was also very gentle and considerate, but she asked the maids to prepare everything, so there was always something missing.

When Lu Jingyun picked up the brush to paint, he unconsciously outlined Chunzhi's eyebrows and eyes. When he came to his senses, the outline was already formed.

He was afraid of being seen by Ji Ruzhen, so he immediately picked up his brush and dipped it in ink, messing up the painting.

Over in Taohua Lane, Chunzhi and Huo Zheng had lunch, one washing the dishes while the other scrubbed the pot.

Huo Zheng suddenly asked Chunzhi, "You go to West Street to set up a stall every day. Are there a lot of people there?"

Chunzhi said, "The whole West Street is full of vendors, so of course there are a lot of people."

Huo Zheng was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something.

Chunzhi asked him, "Is it too boring to stay at home and recuperate? I'll take you with me when we go to the stall tomorrow."

Huo Zheng raised his eyes to look at her, "What do you mean take me with you?"

"I'm going to sell tofu, you can go and look around." Chunzhi said, "Don't worry, I said I will support you, and I won't let you follow me to sell tofu."

Huo Zheng suddenly: "..."
