"Okay, it's just a small matter, why belittle yourself?"
Lu Jing felt guilty, and when he looked at Fang Rou, his eyes softened a little.
Fang Rou saw his reaction and felt even more disdainful.
Sure enough, what you can’t get is the best!
When she begged Lu Jing humbly and desperately, he thought she was ignorant and didn't consider the overall situation.
He would rather go to other women than comfort her more.
But when she grabbed hold of her dignity and returned to her former self in front of him, he began to care.
If you don’t love yourself, everyone will abandon you!
Fang Rou had previously given up everything in front of Lu Jing, but he hadn't shown her any sympathy. Now, her willful and arrogant behavior had actually made Lu Jing take her seriously.
Liu Lu never expected that she could be defeated by Fang Rou in her own yard!
Her eyes fell on Xiaolan next to her, and she suddenly had an idea, "Madam Fang may not understand that women like us who come from humble backgrounds always repay a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude."
She coughed lightly a few times and said weakly, "My Lord, Madam Fang may be used to seeing good things and look down on Madam's gifts. But my sister and I depend on each other for survival, and this is the first time I've seen a sachet of this level of craftsmanship."
Lu Jing was greatly shocked. He didn't expect that Liu Lu and Zhu Hong had lived such a difficult life before!
But he suddenly became confused again, "But, isn't Jingrongfang right next to Qingsongyuan?"
Moreover, he had heard that the women in Qingsong Garden were all very talented and could get a lot of rewards just by playing the piano or singing a song.
Although Liulu and Zhuhong are not top stars, they are also well-known figures. They shouldn't live such a miserable life, right?
Upon hearing this, Liu Lu suddenly burst into tears: "My Lord, you don't know that although my sister and I earned some money, it was all taken away by the nanny."
She wept softly about her miserable experience in Qingsong Garden. Not only did she have to play the zither day and night to earn money, but the old maids in the garden also withheld her food. Late at night, she was tortured by hunger and could not sleep...
Lu Jing suddenly realized, "No wonder your waist is so thin, it turns out you're hungry!"
Liu Lu gritted her teeth and stared hard to prevent herself from laughing out loud!
Especially Lu Jing's serious look - he actually believed it!
The women of Qingsong Garden did indeed have a hard life, but that was because they worked very hard to learn their talents.
In order to ensure they would have a good future, the maids would not let them do any heavy work. They were served with care in everything from dressing to living and traveling, just like the daughters of wealthy families.
As for Jingrongfang...it was indeed the first time she had seen the sachets there.
Because I used to order ready-made clothes there, it would be a bit ambiguous to give small things like sachets to others as gifts, so I kept them for myself. Qingsongyuan has sachets prepared for the girls, and they are different every season -
Why should she waste the money?
However, even if Lu Jing was smart enough to go to Qingsong Garden to verify what she had made up, the maids would definitely continue to follow her lies.
Even if the maids need to take the blame.
After all, these were the lessons the nuns had given them when they were receiving instruction.
Whatever background your future husband would like, just make one up. Qingsongyuan will always be there for them!
Otherwise, why can all those who leave Qingsongyuan become concubines and noble ladies?
This method of competing for favor is commonplace for them...
When Fang Rou saw Lu Jing's expression of pity, she felt mixed emotions.
How can it be so easy to let go of a relationship that has lasted for so many years?
Seeing him fall in love with another woman, I can't help but feel jealous.
But compared to this, Liu Lu made her look at her with new eyes.
I originally thought that this was an impulsive and brainless woman. Without her sister to counsel her, I would definitely be provoked into losing my composure soon.
I didn't expect that I underestimated her!
"Madam is here!"
Suddenly, a notification sounded outside. A trace of panic flashed in Fang Rou's eyes, but she quickly calmed down.
Liu Lu showed a smug look and walked forward with Lu Jing, "Greetings, Madam."
When Lu Jing saw Shen Ruoyan, he was confused. "Madam, why are you here too?"
This courtyard is really lively today.
"I asked Xiaolan to send a sachet, but she didn't come back for so long. I happened to be going to Yan'er's place, so I came to see you."
"I see." Lu Jing didn't think much about it, but Shen Ruoyan saw some interest.
"Xiao Lan, what took you so long? The master's sachet is broken, and he wants you to replace it!"
Shen Ruoyan was slightly angry, and Xiaolan immediately knelt down, "Madam, please calm down. It's not that this servant is lazy, but when I sent it to Concubine Liu, Concubine Fang happened to come over."
She raised her head, gave Fang Rou a trembling look, and then kowtowed fiercely to the ground: "But Aunt Fang looked down on Madam's sachet and never wanted it. That's why I wasted my time!"
"How dare you! What nonsense are you talking about?"
Fang Rou did feel that these were small favors from Shen Ruoyan, and it was with this willfulness that Lu Jing found her former shadow.
But doing it behind someone's back is one thing, saying it to someone's face is another!
Xiaoyue didn't look up, she was terrified, "My servant is stupid, please calm down, Auntie!"
"That's all right. She's just a little maid. Why would Aunt Fang bother with her?"
Shen Ruoyan glanced at her lightly, not even angry, "How can a maid be the master's master? Naturally, I will do whatever the master says. Aunt Fang should understand this very well, right?"
She did not hide the fact and directly pointed out that Aunt Fang had also worked as a maid in the mansion before.
