Chapter 1969 Aunt Yan
Without waiting for the awkward and forced-to-be-calm Madam Lu to speak, Aunt Yan said quietly, "What does Madam Shao mean by this? Didn't Lord Shao take a fancy to our Third Miss and want to take her as his concubine? Has Madam Shao asked Lord Shao before? Madam Shao is sending our Third Miss back like this, isn't that - too much!"
How could Aunt Yan have any insight? Master Lu asked her to say so, so she said so, and she even felt very proud!
You have to know that this person is the wife of the prefect, and she is not even qualified to meet her on weekdays. But now she is standing in front of her and listening to her scolding and questioning! How respectable and proud is this?
Besides, she only has this one daughter. If this hadn't happened, the best marriage she could have gotten would have been to marry a bastard's son from a family similar to the Lu family, or a legitimate son from a family much inferior to the Lu family, as her principal wife. How could it be compared to her marrying Lord Shao now!
I heard that Mr. Shao now only has one wife, Mrs. Qiao, and no concubines. After his daughter gets married, her status will not be low! The Lu and Mei families will also help her. When she gives birth to a boy or a girl, it will be even more amazing.
What a great opportunity to make a fortune! If you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again.
More importantly, Lord Shao clearly loves his own daughter, otherwise he would not have protected her so much on the night of the Lantern Festival and asked his men to send her home.
Therefore, when Aunt Yan criticized Qiao Xuan at this moment, she felt justified.
Qiao Xuan asked Mrs. Lu coldly: "Who is this——"
Madam Lu was obviously watching a show, and said with a smile: "This is Aunt Yan, the biological mother of our third daughter. She is a concubine with little knowledge, and her words are not very pleasant to the ears. Madam Shao, please don't be surprised!"
Qiao Xuan sneered, "Is there no one left in the Lu family? Or is a concubine qualified to be the head of the family? Or is it that I, the wife of the prefect, am nothing in the eyes of you Lu family members, and a mere concubine has the right to make noise in front of me? Since you know that concubines are ignorant and speak rudely, why do you let her come to me and talk nonsense?"
Mrs. Lu was stunned.
Aunt Yan was anxious, "Oh, Madam Shao, that's not what I meant--"
"How dare you!" Lixia glared at Aunt Yan and scolded, "Didn't you hear what our Madam said? Or does the Lu family really not take our Madam seriously?"
Aunt Yan was startled and opened her mouth anxiously but quickly held it back, looking at Madam Lu for help.
Madam Lu quickly stopped Aunt Yan and smiled at Qiao Xuan, "Madam Shao, please don't blame us. The Lu family respects Master Shao and Madam Shao sincerely. Aunt Yan is ignorant and may be confused because of our concern. Madam Shao, please be magnanimous and forgive her this time."
Qiao Xuan glanced at the two of them with a half-smile and said, "If I don't let her off this time, then I am petty-minded. Not to mention her attitude of not distinguishing between superiors and subordinates, just her foolish words, I can slap her in the face and scold your Lu family!"
"Hasn't our master already dispelled the rumor? What do you mean our master has taken a fancy to your third daughter? When did our master say he wanted to take her as a concubine? Aunt Yan, did you hear this from our master himself? Or did anyone in your Lu family hear it from our master himself?"
Aunt Yan shrank back, whimpered and kept silent.
"Speak!" Qiao Xuan shouted, "I'm asking you a question now, and you're not answering?"
