In her previous life, she gave her all for him, helping him rise step by step to high office, yet she couldn't compare to her good sister who slept with him once.
When her gentle and affe...
Chapter 314 What are you doing here?
Liu Anyao lazily changed to a more comfortable position, smiling at Lu Mingzhu: "Aunt Lu, don't be nervous. After all, there is not much hatred between the two of us. Even though I was implicated by you and punished by the Queen, it's all in the past. Now we live under the same roof, there is really no need to fight to the death, right? It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. If it's not you, it will be someone else. It's better to let bygones be bygones."
Lu Mingzhu looked at Liu Anyao suspiciously and frowned slightly.
Liu Anyao's brain was stuck in the door, and she actually ran over to show her goodwill.
And they have resolved their differences...
Wasn't she the lunatic who ran into her yard and beat and scolded her before Cheng Qian?
Who knows what bad thing this guy is up to!
Lu Mingzhu felt a little wary, but she responded with a smile on her face.
"That's what the lady said."
Liu Anyao didn't care what Lu Mingzhu was thinking, and continued, "To tell you the truth, I hate your third sister even more than you do. Aunt Lu also suffered a lot at her hands when she was in the Lu family, right?"
When Lu Xiang was mentioned, Lu Mingzhu's face turned gloomy and her fingers began to ache slightly.
Thanks to Lu Xiang, she was tortured by Concubine Shu. Although the bones were reconnected, her fingers were still deformed upon closer inspection. Thanks to her husband who sent a doctor to treat her carefully, her hands were not ruined.
It doesn't affect daily life, but you can't lift heavy objects, and it hurts so much on rainy days.
And her own mother was killed because of Lu Xiang's scheme.
Lu Mingzhu wished she could eat Lu Xiang's flesh and drink her blood.
As she was thinking about it, she suddenly understood what Liu Anyao was singing today.
Liu Anyao hated Lu Xiang very much because she was punished by the Queen in the palace that time.
Ha, it’s really a relief to have someone give you a pillow just because you’re sleepy.
From this point of view, she can join forces with Liu Anyao and get rid of the bitch Lu Xiang first.
"Hmph, I wish I could cut her into pieces." Lu Mingzhu said gritting her teeth.
Liu Anyao looked at the undisguised hatred on Lu Mingzhu's face and her smile deepened. She picked up the tea on the table and started talking about something else, as if she didn't hear Lu Mingzhu's hateful words.
"I heard that your eldest brother and his wife are in trouble. You might as well take some time to go back and see them. Although you and Lu Xiang are not on good terms, it's not good to push all your sisters from your mother's family away. Ask your sixth sister to come to the mansion to play."
Lu Mingzhu didn't pay attention to what Liu Anyao said next, but was shocked by the accident between Lu Chao and Qiao Jingru.
"What happened to them?"
She looked at Liu Anyao in astonishment and asked.
When something happened to the Lu family, no one came to inform her. Instead, an outsider like Liu Anyao was better informed than her.
Lu Mingzhu suddenly felt very uncomfortable again.
Is Dad really determined to draw a clear line between himself and her?
It wasn't her intention to be a concubine. Since Dad felt ashamed, why didn't he argue with Prime Minister Liu? It was obvious that the position of Madam Xiao was hers.
Thinking of this, Lu Mingzhu felt secretly annoyed at Liu Anyao again, but she did not show it.
Lu Mingzhu's surprise didn't seem fake, and Liu Anyao was stunned when she saw it.
She really didn't expect that Lu Mingzhu, as the daughter of the Lu family, didn't even know what happened in the Lu family.
Liu Anyao twitched her lips speechlessly, and suddenly felt that it was a bit ridiculous for her to try to win over Lu Mingzhu. How could a concubine who couldn't even get any news about her own family's misfortune be useful? However, her intention to win over Lu Mingzhu was revealed, and it would be too embarrassing to turn against her at this time.
Just think of it as finding a target. With Lu Mingzhu leading the way, it would be easier for her to act.
"It's better for Aunt Lu to find out about the Lu family herself."
Liu Anyao no longer wanted to continue the conversation and just answered casually.
Seeing that Liu Anyao didn't want to talk, Lu Mingzhu was so angry that she choked and couldn't sit still anymore.
"Then I will take my leave first."
"Yeah." Liu Anyao responded lightly.
Lu Mingzhu got up and left.
She returned to her yard under the scorching sun. As soon as she entered the house, she asked Mother Qin and the others, "Liu Anyao said something happened to the Lu family. Have you heard about it?"
Mother Qin knew about this. She had been in contact with Yunzhaiwuyue, who was close to the Third Young Miss. Although she didn't know the whole story, she heard roughly that Aunt Yao had plotted against the Eldest Young Master and the Eldest Young Mistress and the Master had already killed her.
But no one from the Lu family came to tell Lu Mingzhu about this, so she naturally didn't say anything either.
He pretended to have just heard it and looked surprised.
Huamei and Lanqiu were also stunned.
"Is there such a thing? I haven't heard of it." Huamei said blankly: "I will go to the Lu family to inquire."
Lan Qiu sneered and said sarcastically, "The master clearly doesn't regard our master as a member of the Lu family, so no one came to tell us when something happened. What can you find out when you go back now? You might even be brushed off."
Mother Qin glanced at Lan Qiu speechlessly, thinking to herself that this girl seemed okay before, but how come she became so mean and mean since she came back from the farm with her aunt?
But no matter what Lan Qiu becomes, it has nothing to do with me.
Lu Mingzhu agreed with Lan Qiu's words and said, "Lan Qiu is right. Don't bother asking. Go back to the Lu family tomorrow. I don't believe that grandma and dad would deliberately keep it from me."
"Aunt, when Madam asked you to come over, was it just to mention this matter?" Mother Qin asked.
Lu Mingzhu shook her head and said, "No, she said she wanted to make peace with me."
"Ah?" Lan Qiu exclaimed in surprise.
Huamei asked doubtfully, "What does she want to do?"
Lu Mingzhu fanned herself with a fan, sweating all over after walking all the way back. Hearing this, she said unhappily, "According to my observation, they want to join forces with me to deal with Lu Xiang. This is exactly what I want. With Liu Anyao taking action, Lu Xiang will only die faster."
There was ice in the room, which made it cooler than outside, but it couldn't be compared with the main courtyard.
Lu Mingzhu fanned him a few times and then became annoyed: "Get me some water to bathe. I'm sweating all over and it's so uncomfortable."
"Yes." Huamei and Lanqiu responded quickly and went to prepare.
Mother Qin's heart was beating fast.
The Third Miss was afraid that she had miscalculated. She thought that Lu Mingzhu would be suppressed by Liu Anyao after entering the Xiao Mansion. However, she did not expect that not long after that, Liu Anyao actually took the initiative to join forces with Lu Mingzhu.
I have to find a chance to tell Miss Third about this tomorrow.
We can't let these two people join forces.
The next morning, Lu Mingzhu returned to the Lu family and went to Fuyuan Hall.
When the old lady heard that she was back, she immediately frowned in disgust.
"It's not a festival, what is she doing back here?"
"Now that they are here, it's not good to chase them away. Just ask the old lady in to ask them some questions." Mother Wen advised.
The old lady snorted and waved her hand.
