Chapter 115 If Lu Changqing is not crazy, she will be crazy!
The little maids who saw it when passing by were dumbfounded. They had never seen such an operation.
When you see someone else’s clothes are made of good material, do you just go and cut a piece off?
"Madam, Fourth Aunt is too much!" Xiuqiu pointed angrily in the direction of the guest house. "When I passed by the door of the guest house yesterday, I heard her say that the herbs you dried in the garden were stolen by her and given to the old man of the Lu family to make tea. They have lived in the Lu family for so long, not only did they not give us a penny for living expenses, but they also stole our things!"
Xu Miaoyan's heart was bleeding.
This fifth-rank official uniform was obtained with great difficulty by her using the spiritual wood incense. Now it has been cut into pieces like this. Anyone would be unwilling to accept this, right?
"Xiangqiu, take this dress and come with me to the guest house to reason with them!"
"Yes!" Xiuqiu picked up the dress and followed Xu Miaoyan out of Meihuaao's door.
In the guest courtyard, the old man of the Lu family and the fourth uncle and aunt were making tea in the house, while Lu Huai was playing on the corridor in his new clothes.
Xu Miaoyan rushed into the guest house with the hydrangea and the tattered clothes in her arms.
"Which thief dared to cut our Madam's clothes?" Xiuqiu asked loudly, holding her hands on her waist. She turned to Xu Miaoyan and said, "Madam, smell it. This tea fragrance is clearly the vanilla you dried! The medicine cost ten taels of silver per bag, and they just used it to soak in water and drink it. It's really a waste of natural resources!"
Xu Miaoyan sniffed the tea fragrance in the air and clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
She needs a lot of medicinal spices to make incense on a daily basis. Now that she lives in the city, it is not convenient for her to go up the mountain to collect herbs, so she has to buy all the herbs with silver.
But the herbs she bought with her frugal savings were always a little less here and a little lost there. It turned out that they were all stolen by the poor relatives of the Lu family!
"Oh my," the fourth aunt of the Lu family came out of the house with a swagger, looking down at the master and servant at the steps, "I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be you, vixen."
"Who do you say is a vixen?!" Xiuqiu said as she was about to go forward and fight with her, but fortunately, she was stopped by Xu Miaoyan.
"Xiuqiu, Fourth Aunt is our elder after all, we... should give her some respect."
"I didn't expect a vixen like you could speak human language," said Aunt Lu, with one hand on her waist and the other stroking her hair. "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Xu Miaoyan pointed at the official uniform in Xiuqiu's hand and said, "Fourth Aunt, did you cut this official uniform?"
In fact, there is no need to ask. Just look at the boy playing with stones on the corridor and you will know by the big red coat he is wearing.
The gray and white coarse cloth jacket had only a piece of bright red brocade embroidered with auspicious clouds in front of the belly, which was obviously cut from the hem of Xu Miaoyan's official uniform.
"So what if I cut it?" Fourth Aunt Lu didn't think she was wrong at all. "My son is a legitimate descendant of the Lu family. Lu Changqing should be filial to us, but we have been in the capital for so long and he has never bought us a new set of clothes. The Lu family's money was cheated away by you, a vixen. Your clothes are just used to seduce men. What's wrong with me tearing a piece off?"
At this time, the third uncle and fourth uncle of the Lu family also came out of the house.
"That's right, ma'am, you're right!" Uncle Lu held Aunt Lu's elbow, as if he wanted to support his wife.
"You guys!" Xu Miaoyan was so angry this time that her heart ached. "Don't go too far!"
The uncle next to him was smoking a pipe, exhaling a cloud of thick smoke and said, "Miss Xu, how can we go too far? I heard that you once bought clothes that cost several thousand taels of silver. You were so extravagant and wasteful, and all the money you spent was from our Lu family. Now you should compensate us for a piece of clothing."
Xu Miaoyan was so angry that she was shaking. She bared her teeth and said, "That dress was given to me by Lu Lang! How can you have any say in that?"
She was spending Lu Changqing's money, so what did it have to do with these country folks?
"Why not?" Third Uncle knocked his cigarette ash twice on the pillar. "Lu Changqing's money is our Lu family's money. What's more... you have no status and no position now. To put it bluntly, you are just a swindler in our Lu family. Our Lu family gave you a place to live, but did you pay the rent? We spent money to buy you clothes, but the legitimate descendants of our Lu family have no place to live and no new clothes to wear. How can this be justified?"
Xu Miaoyan was so angry when she heard him mention "our Lu family" all the time that she argued, "Lu Lang has already promised me that he will marry me. Sooner or later, I will be the second wife of the Lu family! You treated me like this today, aren't you afraid that I will tell Lu Lang?"
"Marry you? Hahaha..." Third Uncle laughed and exhaled smoke, "Chang Qing must be crazy to marry you. How much money do you have? Why would Chang Qing marry you?"
"Of course it's because he loves me!" Xu Miaoyan said loudly.
Several people on the corridor looked at her expressionlessly, and even Lu Huai looked at her as if he was watching a monkey show.
"Miss Xu, I have a piece of advice for you. As a woman, don't always talk about love and affection. Don't you know that Changqing is obsessed with getting back together with Fang?" The uncle stroked his beard and shook the pipe in his hand. "Fang's wealth is at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. Look at yourself, what do you have?"
Fourth Aunt Lu laughed a few times: "Third Uncle, she has that seductive face that can seduce men!"
"Ugh!" the old man spat on the ground, "Our Changqing originally had a bright future, but it was ruined by this vixen!"
Xu Miaoyan felt dazed after hearing this, and murmured, "What did you say... Lu Lang wants to remarry Fang Qianxue? When did he say that?"
"You don't even know this?" The look in Lu's uncle's eyes when he looked at her changed from mockery to sympathy. "When we first came to the capital, Chang Qing said that Fang had just had a misunderstanding with him so she moved out of the mansion temporarily. She would move back sooner or later."
"Also, Changqing and I were drinking once," Fourth Uncle Lu added, "When he was drunk, he kept muttering Fang's name, but I didn't hear him call your name."
Xu Miaoyan's heart sank, and she no longer cared about her official uniform. She turned around and ran away crying.
She didn't believe it. Lu Changqing had made a solemn promise to her and had been saying for days that he would marry her as his wife. How could he still be thinking about Fang Qianxue?
She didn't believe it! It was obviously because of her Lingmuxiang that he got promoted this time!
Xu Miaoyan ran with her head down, but just as she reached the door of the guest house, she bumped into someone.
"Miaoyan! What are you doing here?" Lu Changqing held Xu Miaoyan's shoulders and looked at her carefully for a moment, "Are you still crying like this?"
"Lu Changqing!" Xu Miaoyan suddenly grabbed Lu Changqing's collar and glared at him fiercely, "Tell me clearly, will you marry me? Or will you remarry Fang Qianxue?"
If this continues, even if Lu Changqing doesn't go crazy, she will!
