Chapter 140 Three keys for ten cents, are you worthy?
Under the verbal coercion of several people, Qian, who didn't know what to do, straightened her clothes, raised her head and walked out of the room under Zou's shocked, annoyed, unwilling, furious... fan-shaped gaze.
Although Qian Ruojia could not give birth to a son, she raised her daughter with great care.
Even her mother-in-law, who loved to find fault with her in every way, was patient with her children.
Her eldest daughter grew up by Zhang's side and was doted on. How could she allow Zou to plan a marriage for her good fortune?
After she came to her senses from the coercive situation, she was filled with rage.
The reason why Zou dared to plot against her was because she had no son!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. By the time she reached the front yard, she had already considered cutting Wang into pieces.
Lu Xinran was eating melon halfway when she realized that the owner was missing!
[Hey, why did Qian suddenly leave? ]
[Why is Zou so angry because of shame? She has a vicious mind and has failed to plot against others, so she still has the nerve to be angry? ]
[If it were her who was being persecuted today, would she be happy to accept it? Would she think it was a great blessing for her precious daughter to surprise others?]
[People, you should not do too many things that will bring you regret, otherwise the retribution will come sooner or later~]
The words "retribution in this life" made Zou lose her mind instantly. She wanted to tear Lu Xinran's mouth like a madman, but her two friends grabbed her clothes and held her back.
"Are you really crazy? The two most powerful people in the palace lost their lives because of what she said. Did you see Prince Yu and the Third Prince take revenge on her?"
"Not only that, but they even sent people to protect her, fearing that she might get into an accident. Have you thought it through? Are you really going to provoke her?"
Although the two friends sympathized with Zou's situation, they wanted to avoid her the moment they heard her voice.
There are always some dirty things in every family. The richer the family, the more secrets there are in the backyard. Who can guarantee that they are clean and can withstand her turning it upside down?
If you can't make friends with the younger generation of the Lu family, the best way is to keep a distance and not make enemies.
Zou was stopped by her friends. Facing their retreating eyes, the sadness that followed her extreme anger made her sit down on the ground and cry.
"I don't want to offend that girl, and I don't want to force Qian's daughter to come to celebrate in such an ugly way. But, but why does my son Lin have such a miserable life?
"The imperial physician said that he would not survive this winter, and I just wanted him to die without regrets, so that he could have a wife of good family background, adopt a child from the clan, and have the support of his maternal family.
"I just want to help my son to the end, why can't you help us?"
The more Zou spoke, the more sad she felt. Her two good friends left at the same time, and she didn't know how to comfort them.
[Poor? But the daughter of the Qian family is not pitiful. Your son will not survive this winter, and her daughter is only twelve years old. Is she going to come to celebrate and live a widow's life? ]
[Why do you feel sorry for your son and let another young girl suffer the same pain? ]
[Do people owe you anything? Who do you think you are? Do you think that just because you and your son are pitiful, everyone should revolve around you?]
[If you want to find a maternal grandfather to help your adopted son, why don't you scheme against the emperor or the princesses? Having the emperor as your maternal grandfather is a strong backing. ]
[Really? Three keys for ten cents. Do you deserve it?]
The voice of her heart came crashing down like a torrential rain, causing Zou's crying to stop instantly.
Her voice was stuck in her throat, like a rooster with its neck strangled, and only a little hoarse gurgling sound remained in her throat.
In the nearby room, the three sisters who were listening to her passionate outburst all lowered their eyes and tried hard to hide the smiles that were welling up in their faces.
Especially the Lu Xintong sister, their mouths were almost stretched to the back of their heads.
This courtyard was not chosen randomly. They asked their maids to secretly ask the servants in the mansion and found out that this courtyard had the most ladies and young ladies. As long as they sat in it, they would definitely get to eat melons.
I didn't expect the effect to be so good. I actually encountered Zou forcing Qian's daughter to go to someone else's house to celebrate!
The nearby rooms were equally silent at this moment.
Apparently he was still a little dizzy from this sudden blow.
Zou was good at socializing and, as she was the wife of the Shangshu Mansion, she had quite a status among the ladies in the capital.
She always had a bright smile on her face. No matter which lady or girl they were from, she would greet them with a smile and give them enough face, so many ladies had a very good impression of her.
Before, Zou said that she wanted to find a wife for her second son, and many people had considered the idea of an arranged marriage.
That's the Shangshu Mansion, and she's the legitimate daughter of the second wife. If Sun Yunlin hadn't been infected with the serious disease, he could have just proposed to marry the eldest daughter of the Shilang Mansion in a normal way.
But he clearly couldn't survive the winter, yet he still forced the girl to go to the wedding, especially after taking off the mask. It was obvious that Zou was not an easy person to deal with. Anyone who loved his daughter would not want her to suffer this.
Those who had some contact with Zou in the past, after hearing her words, began to think about distancing themselves from her in the future.
Now Zou, who was sitting on the ground, was crying sadly, and had no idea about her future situation.
After eating the big melon of the Zou family, Lu Xinran felt inexplicably dull.
Why are all these ladies in the inner chambers of the capital resorting to such shady and shameful methods?
Moreover, these methods are used to make things difficult for the same sex.
Whenever someone used these calculations on men, as long as they did not commit crimes against others and climbed up by murdering others, she would applaud.
[Hey, women, why do you have to be so hard-working? Just because you have a hard life, can you not bear to see others doing well? ]
The last sigh shocked everyone in the courtyard physically and mentally.
If possible, who would be willing to live such a hideous life? Isn't it because there are only so many things a woman can do and rely on?
Lu Xinlan, who was good at controlling the situation, spoke up at the right time, "Lunch time is almost here, let's go to the front hall first."
As the younger generation, it would be more appropriate for them to go there earlier and wait for the elders from each mansion.
Especially if we all go out together and happen to confront Zou Clan...it would be too dangerous if we stimulate them to go crazy~
Lu Xinran smiled and nodded and stood up. She liked to listen to Lu Xinlan's arrangements the most.
The fellow villagers will definitely not harm her!
If she really has to be sold for money, she will happily help count the money.
The four sisters left the courtyard first, and after they left, the ladies in other rooms also left one after another.
In the hall next to the garden, groups of people were arriving one after another.
The two granddaughters brought by Wang had already made friends with several of the young ladies among the guests. They held each other's arms affectionately and called each other "sister" sweetly.
Lu Xinran just glanced at it and didn't think much about it, but Lu Xinlan's eyes flashed with doubt.
The contents of one's thoughts always spread very quickly. With Wang's methods, the ladies of each mansion should have warned their children to stay away from the Zhang family. How could it be... that in just one or two hours they became close friends?
