Chapter 369: A Plan Within a Plan
Lu Yuntang said aggrievedly, "My sister-in-law brought her to the banquet on purpose to embarrass me. Even if I'm not the Lu family's biological daughter, my mother has raised me for so many years and has a deep affection for me. How could she do this? I know my sister-in-law has never liked me. I'm obviously my brother's biological sister, but she only likes my second sister. Now she's getting close to my eldest sister, but she just doesn't like me."
As she spoke, she wiped her tears. She felt a little aggrieved when she said these words, which were half true and half false. In fact, she had also heard others mock her, saying that Su Qingwan was very good to Lu Yunshu, arranging her marriage and adding dowry to her. She also supported Lu Yunshu after she got married. Lu Yunshu's in-laws didn't dare to bully her at all. They all knew that the princess was backing her up. The princess treated her like her own sister. If it hadn't been for the princess, Lu Yunshu would have jumped into the fire pit. But it was obvious that the third lady was Lu Jing's biological sister, so why did the princess never take her out? After Lu Yunshu got married, Su Qingwan often took her out to make friends.
When a man works hard in the officialdom, it is also important for his wife to be social. Su Qingwan is indeed very good to Lu Yunshu. After all, Lu Yuntang is a little girl at heart. She has been jealous and complained to Zhang. Does her sister-in-law dislike her?
Zhang thought she was being pretentious. Su Qingwan was a person with a cold temperament. She got along well with Lu Yunshu, and Lu Yunshu had helped her. She often defended her when Su Qingwan pretended to be the elder sister. Sincerely, Su Qingwan was naturally nice to her. Lu Yuntang didn't like Su Qingwan's cold temperament, and didn't get along well with her. They didn't have the same conversation, so naturally they were not that close. But she was very envious of Lu Yunshu.
Chen Nanhuai had also heard about it, but what if the princess favored the second daughter? The third daughter was Lu Jing's biological sister and the closest to him. Now it was revealed that the third daughter was not Lu's biological daughter. This was shocking in the entire noble clan, and blood confusion was a taboo for everyone.
"Then how will Second Madam Lu arrange for you? They won't kick you out of the Lu family, right?"
"Of course not!" Lu Yuntang wiped her tears. She didn't want to lie to Chen Nanhuai, but she promised Su Qingwan to play it to the end. She thought to herself that Chen Nanhuai liked her so much and said that he didn't care about her background. He didn't care about her brother's power. He wouldn't care. "But mother has her own biological daughter after all. She loves her own biological daughter. She will definitely not treat me as well as before, and..."
She glanced at Chen Nanhuai timidly, and Chen Nanhuai was a little anxious, "And what?"
"My mother was very angry when she found out that I was having a secret meeting with you. I talked back to her and went on a hunger strike in protest, which made her sick. She was very disappointed in me and scolded me for not having any integrity of the Lu family and actually doing something that brought disgrace upon the family. If anything went wrong, it would implicate my sisters. She has been sick for several days, and now that her biological daughter is back, she doesn't want to take care of me anymore."
She excitedly took Chen Nanhuai's hand and said, "Brother Huai, mother is no longer blocking our marriage. Please send someone to propose marriage. I can finally marry you as I wish."
"She agrees to our marriage?" Chen Nanhuai was shocked. He knew that Zhang was strongly opposed to Lu Yuntang marrying him, and it was a very ugly scene. Although Lu Yuntang was under house arrest and could not communicate with him, he also had ways to get the news in the palace. Now Zhang actually gave in. Does it mean that she doesn't want Lu Yuntang anymore now that her biological daughter is back?
Qingyun, who was hiding in the dark, whispered to Li Yue, "Third Miss may not be very smart, but her acting skills are quite good."
