Chapter 381 Warning

This slap was so heavy that Shen Qingrong's head tilted, and half of her face immediately became red and swollen, burning with pain.

After marrying into the Lu family for six years, this was the first time that Madam Lu hit her, and Shen Qingrong was shocked.

In the past, no matter what she did or what mistakes she made, Madam Lu only reprimanded and punished her, and never hit her.

That was because she was concerned about the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion and the face of both families.

But now that the Lu family has been conferred the title of Marquis, Madam Lu has nothing to worry about, and today she was really angry with Shen Qingrong.

She could turn a blind eye to the quarrel behind closed doors, but she could not tolerate the quarrel in front of outsiders, which implicated the entire Lu family.

"You knew that the princess didn't like fish, so you didn't tell her on purpose. You even dared to find an opportunity to embarrass the princess. Do you think you'll die?"

"If you want to die, don't drag the Lu family into it." Mrs. Lu pointed at Shen Qingrong and scolded her angrily.

Lu Mingxian stood aside, also with a look of blame on her face.

Shen Qingrong covered her burning face and said aggrievedly: "If she doesn't like it, does that mean others won't eat it?"

Jiang Shu never liked to eat fish, but when she was in the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion, no one ever cared about it, and never stopped cooking fish because she didn't like it.

Shen Qingrong was used to it and didn't think about it at all. She felt that this slap was really unfair.

"That's right." Madam Lu said angrily, "She is the princess and a distinguished guest. Everything should be based on her preferences."

Shen Qingrong's eyes widened in shock. She moved her lips to refute, but she held it back when she met Madam Lu's murderous gaze.

Madam Lu stared at her and continued to scold, "You are deliberately shouting nonsense and pretending to speak out of turn. Do you think everyone is a fool?"

Shen Qingrong had no way to refute this and could only endure it.

She didn't mean to make trouble tonight, but she didn't expect Jiang Shu, who was tolerant and forgiving in the past, to be so petty and calumniate.

It's true that after becoming a princess, her temper has become bigger.

"I warned you a long time ago, but you still dare to act recklessly. Do you really think I dare not touch you?" Madam Lu called two maids to hold Shen Qingrong down, wanting to punish her.

Shen Qingrong panicked and quickly admitted her fault: "Mother, I was wrong, I won't do it again."

This is Pingyang, not Beijing, and no one is there to support her. Besides, it is natural for a mother-in-law to discipline her daughter-in-law, and even if the Shen family is here, there is no reason to stop it.

A good man does not eat the loss in front of him, Shen Qingrong panicked and confessed her fault and begged for mercy, promising not to do it again.

However, Mrs. Lu was determined to punish her and had no intention of letting her go.

While they were arguing, Lu He and Lu Mingke came.

"What are you doing again?" Lu He asked unhappily.

Mrs. Lu explained the reason. Lu He stared at Shen Qingrong with a cold look and said angrily: "This slap today is just a lesson. If you cause trouble again, be prepared to die suddenly."

Shen Qingrong was shocked when she heard this.

It's not a punishment, it's to kill her!

Lu He's fierce eyes made Shen Qingrong understand that Lu He was not trying to scare her, but really wanted to kill her.

A chill went up her spine, and Shen Qingrong was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

"Just let her go like this?" Mrs. Lu was a little unwilling.

Lu He said in a deep voice: "Don't make family embarrassments public. If there is anything, wait until Prince Jing and Princess Jing leave."

He didn't ask for anything else, just asked Shen Qingrong not to cause trouble again and implicate the Lu family during the days when Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu were here.

Otherwise, don't blame him for being cruel and heartless.

Shen Qingrong knew that Lu He was giving her the last warning, and she was afraid and scared. She subconsciously looked at Lu Mingke for help.

Lu Mingke frowned and avoided her, full of disgust.

"Okay, let's go back." Lu He looked tired and impatient, and walked away in a huff.

Lu Mingke was also upset, and ignored Shen Qingrong's pleading and walked away quickly.

Back in the yard and stepping into the house, Lu Mingke saw Su Rou coaxing her daughter, and her expression gradually eased.

"Is Sui'an feeling better?" Lu Mingke walked over and sat down and asked.

Lu Sui'an is the daughter of Lu Mingke and Su Rou. She was poisoned by Shen Qingrong in her mother's womb, so she has been weak and sick since birth. No matter how carefully she is taken care of, she still gets sick every other day, which makes people feel pain, pity and hatred.

"Much better, you should be able to rest in the next few days." Su Rou whispered softly, with a kind and compassionate look on her face.

Lu Mingke reached out and touched Lu Sui'an's face and hands lovingly.

He felt guilty about this daughter, so he loved her even more. Every time Lu Sui'an got sick, Lu Mingke hated Shen Qingrong a little more.

Seeing that his face was not right, Su Rou guessed the reason and coaxed the child to sleep and handed her to the servants.

When there were only two people left in the room, Su Rou asked, "Are father and mother angry?"

"Yes." Lu Mingke sighed, rubbing her brows exhausted.

Su Rou said softly, "My husband, don't worry too much. I think the princess is kind and generous, and she doesn't take it to heart."

Lu Mingke shook her head, "That's not what my father and I are worried about."

Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng came to raise money. The title of marquis and the threat were both to force the Lu family to help with all their strength.

The combination of kindness and force, Shen Qingrong, this idiot, just gave people a reason.

The more Lu Mingke thought about it, the angrier she got. She wanted to divorce Shen Qingrong immediately and send her back to Jing'an Marquis' Mansion.

But now that the Lu family has just been titled a marquis, countless eyes are staring at the Lu family, and every word and action must be cautious.

Su Rou observed Lu Mingke's expression and thought: "Are you worried about raising food?"

Lu Mingke nodded.

Su Rou said: "If you need it, you can ask father for help."

She didn't understand officialdom, but she knew a little about business.

Lu Mingke grabbed Su Rou's hand and smiled: "Rou'er is still the best."

The comparison between the two made Su Rou feel more considerate and pleasing.

Su Rou smiled: "Husband and wife are one, I am very happy to be able to help my husband solve his problems."

If it was useless, the Lu family would not agree to Lu Mingke marrying her. After all, the merchant family is of humble origin.

But with Jiang Shu as a role model, Su Rou felt that no matter how humble the family is, one can live beautifully with intelligence and ability.

Since she married Lu Mingke, the nobility of the Lu family was hers, but if there was a need, she would do her best to help. In this way, her position in the Lu family could be stable. As

the night deepened, the entire Lu Mansion returned to silence.

Jiang Shu lay in Yu Zheng's arms and told him what happened at the dinner.

"You did a good job. I'm afraid Marquis Lu and his son will have trouble sleeping tonight." Yu Zheng pecked Jiang Shu's forehead as if to reward him.

Jiang Shu hugged his waist and couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Do you know? Madam Su is actually the daughter of the president of the He'an Chamber of Commerce."

Yu Zheng was slightly surprised. He really didn't know this. He only knew that the Lu family had a good relationship with the president of the He'an Chamber of Commerce. He

came in a hurry this time and did not re-investigate the Lu family. Besides, a minister's marriage is a family affair, not a big deal, and not worth paying attention to.

It just happened that Su Rou's identity was a little special.

"In this way, it will be easier for the Lu family to raise food." Yu Zheng curled his lips.

Jiang Shu said: "In addition to raising food for the court, I also have to discuss private matters with Mr. Lu and Madam Su."

Jiang's business and raising food for the court are two different things, and she has to solve them by herself.

Yu Zheng heard the sleepiness in her words, and said softly: "It's late, go to bed first, and talk about it tomorrow."

Whether it is raising food for the court or Jiang's purchase of food, it will be easy if there is a breakthrough.
