Fang Qianxue had been married for five years, with both a son and a daughter. She believed she would live a harmonious life with Lu Changqing until old age. However, one day, Lu Changqing brought b...
Chapter 15 Is he still a human being if he doesn’t tolerate all her mistakes?
At first she was worried that she would not be able to pay back the debt to Jinxiu Zhai, but then she changed her mind and suddenly understood that their Lu family would be very successful in the future, so what was five thousand taels of silver?
Besides, there must be some money left after the eldest son's death. When Chang Qing went to Jiangning to handle the funeral, she asked him to bring back all of the eldest son's belongings.
Let’s use it to fill the hole in Jinxiu Zhai first.
"How dare mother say something like this when there's nothing to say about it." Fang Qianxue raised her eyebrows.
Even in the original book, Lu Wanrou did not marry into a wealthy family. Fang Qianxue remembered that she seemed to be favored by the son of Du Qianxu, the Minister of Personnel, and was taken as a concubine.
"Here you go!" Lu Wanrou took out two Hetian jade bracelets of good quality and reluctantly slapped them on the table. "I've never seen a woman as greedy for money as you!"
Fang Qianxue handed the bracelet to Cuishuang, then turned to Chen and Lu Wanrou and said, "Tomorrow is Yuan'er and Yao'er's third birthday. I'm hosting a banquet at Meihuaao and have invited some friends. If mother and third sister don't mind, come and have a drink at the wedding."
"I'm not going." Lu Wanrou turned her head away proudly.
Fang Shi had no friends in all these years. Now that the Fang family was confiscated and exiled, she must have invited some inferior guests. Who would go to support her?
"Chang Li has only been gone for less than half a year, why are you still holding a birthday party?" Chen said with an unhappy look on her face, "It's a waste of luxury."
"I originally thought that since my eldest brother had just passed away, it would not be appropriate to hold a big celebration, but I heard that the Second Master was already eager to marry Xu and had even sent out invitations," Fang Qianxue said, "My mother also knew about this, so I thought that since we can hold a wedding banquet, there is no reason why we can't hold a birthday banquet."
Chen was choked and frowned, "This... I won't get involved in the affairs of you young people. What I mean is to save some money. Both children will need money in the future."
"You have money to marry a new bride, but no money to hold a birthday party?" Cui Shuang started to complain again, "Why can't our Madam use her own money to hold a birthday party for the young master and young lady? I didn't ask you to spend money."
"Forget it, whatever you want. I'm not going anyway." Chen thought that with the little money Fang Qianxue had and the little place Meihuaao had, they could just invite a few insignificant distant relatives of the Fang family and hold a shabby banquet.
After Fang Qianxue took Cuishuang away, Lu Wanrou was furious.
"She has the money to hold a birthday party for those two little bastards, but she doesn't pay back Jinxiuzhai's bill. She is obviously bullying me!"
"Don't shout so loudly," Chen looked at her daughter with a look of annoyance, "I have told you so many times that a woman should be dignified and graceful, and not show her emotions. If you want the young marquis to like you, be more restrained."
Her two sons learned her cunning ways, and it was no wonder that they could say sweet words but have a sharp tongue. But her daughter was just like her deceased father, unable to keep secrets. Almost everyone in the city knew that she liked the young marquis.
"I understand." Lu Wanrou lowered her head, "Mother, then I will leave first?"
"Go call your second brother over here. He should clean up this mess." Chen felt a headache when she saw the account books and cards on the table.
Lu Changqing had been spending several days with Xu Miaoyan, and felt somewhat guilty towards Fang Qianxue, so when he was leaving court today, he bought her favorite sugar-roasted chestnuts on the way home.
But when he arrived outside the gate of Meihuaaoyuan, he was reluctant to go in and just wandered outside holding the oil-paper package.
When he learned that day that Xu had tricked him into killing his wife, he really wanted to scold Xu, but he couldn't bear to do it.
Xu was only sixteen or seventeen years old when she gave her body to him. If he did not tolerate all her mistakes, would he still be a human being?
Besides, Xu had already promised him that she would not pretend to be sick to deceive him again, and she didn't want any blood from her heart.
Knowing your mistakes is the best way to improve!
"Second Master," the attendant asked Chenggong, "You have been waiting here for half an hour. Do you want to come in?"
"Oh, come on, follow me in." Lu Changqing finally came to his senses and walked into the courtyard with his head held high.
He hadn't been to Meihuaao for several days and thought Fang Qianxue must be living a miserable life like a resentful woman. However, he found that Meihuaao was decorated with lights and although the flowers of several plum trees had faded, they were all hung with red lanterns.
If you don’t know, you might think Fang Qianxue is getting married.
There was no crying sound in the yard, but instead the bell-like laughter of children and women could be heard, which made people feel warm.
Lu Changqing frowned, feeling quite uncomfortable.
Without him, how could Fang Qianxue live such a happy life?
It's so unreasonable.
"Second Master, I'll go in and tell them." A maid who was cleaning the house saw him come in and was about to go in and tell them but was stopped by Lu Changqing's hand.
"What are you doing? Hanging so many lanterns?" Chenggong asked the maid.
