Gu Yunran glanced at Lu Qingzhou who was standing next to Lu Qingqing, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is that what you mean?
Lu Qingzhou pursed his lips, glanced at Lu Qingqing, and finally lowered his gaze, frowned, and said, "Mother is gone, the eldest sister is the eldest."
Gu Yunran took a deep breath, she knew that Lu Qingzhou was useless.
She snorted and said, "What a joke! I've never heard of a mistress kneeling before a younger sister-in-law. Not to mention her disrespect for elders, she came to my yard to show off her power and stretched out her hand to teach my maid a lesson."
"One slap on the face was a light punishment. She deserved at least twenty strokes of the cane. I was merciful and only gave her one slap."
Gu Yunran spoke in a sonorous voice. She walked towards Lu Qingqing, looked at her, and met her gaze without fear. "You are a daughter who married out. When did you become so long-suffering as to meddle in your mother's family's affairs?"
Gu Yunran snorted coldly after he finished speaking, turned around and went into the house, saying to Taohua, "Show me out!"
Lu Qingqing was so angry that her fingers were shaking. Her husband had just returned to Shengjing to take up his post. Now, let alone returning to the Lu family, even outside there were so many people flocking to her to curry favor with her.
"Gu Yunran, who do you think you are? I am the eldest sister of the Lu family. Now that my mother is gone, the eldest sister is like a mother. I will take care of the affairs of the Lu family."
“Today I want to…”
Before Lu Qingqing finished speaking, the maid beside her tugged at her clothes and shook her head at her: "Madam, don't say anymore."
Lu Qingqing swung her sleeves and glared at Cuilan fiercely: "Why are you stopping me?"
"Lu Qingqing, what are you doing? Coming back to your parents' house to make a scene?"
A cold voice came from behind, which frightened Lu Qingqing so much that she trembled. She subconsciously turned around and bowed to the person who came.
"Mother-in-law."
The person who came was the old lady of the Chen family, Lu Qingqing's mother-in-law.
Old Madam Chen snorted coldly, turned to look at Lu Qingzhou, and put on a kind smile on her face: "I heard that your mother passed away. I was deeply saddened and didn't have time to express my condolences. Please don't be offended by my late arrival today."
Lu Qingzhou clasped his fists and said, "Qingzhou thanks the old lady on behalf of my mother."
"Please, Fourth Master, please go and light a stick of incense in front of your mother's tablet."
"good."
Lu Qingzhou took Old Madam Chen to the Lu family ancestral hall. Lu Qingqing stood there without moving. Old Madam Chen said coldly, "Why aren't you leaving? What are you doing standing here?"
She had originally wanted to take this opportunity to interact more with Gu Yunran, but now, this idiot had ruined her plan.
Mrs. Lu Er was standing nearby and felt very uncomfortable. The old lady of the Chen family looked like a powerful character. She started scolding the girl of the Lu family in the Lu family. What would happen if it happened in the Chen family?
Is her daughter doing well?
Madam Lu turned to look at her daughter, Lu Xiao'e, who was standing beside her. Her eyes were red. She reached out and held her daughter's hand. Lu Xiao'e patted her hand and whispered, "Mother, don't worry about me. I'm usually very well behaved. My mother-in-law doesn't treat me harshly."
Mrs. Lu Er was relieved and followed the team to the ancestral hall.
After everyone left, Zhuye asked curiously, "Miss, Old Madam Chen just came. Why didn't you go out to see her?"
Gu Yunran picked up the incense and asked, "How can I face her?"
She put down the chopsticks in her hand and sighed, "Introducing Lu Qingqing to her outstanding eldest son is really a disaster for the Chen family."
This was the last thing she did.
Unfortunately, she was reborn in the third year after marrying into the Lu family. At that time, Lu Qingqing had already married with her help.
If Gu Yunran guessed correctly, the Chen family returned to Shengjing this time probably because Mrs. Chen's eldest son, Chen Lei, had been promoted.
That's why Lu Qingqing was so arrogant. She wanted to give her a warning as soon as she came back.
But she is no longer the Gu Yunran of the past, so how could she still be controlled by her?!
After Old Madam Chen offered incense to Old Madam Lu, Lu Qingzhou ordered people to clean up the yard. Because the Chen family had just arrived in Shengjing and had not yet bought a house or a place to stay, they would stay in the Lu Mansion for a while.
Old Madam Chen was old, and after being in the yard for a while, she was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes.
Lu Qingqing said, "Mother-in-law, go to sleep if you are tired."
Madam Chen waved her hand and said, "Go and do your thing."
"Mother-in-law, your wife will help you go to bed."
Old Madam Chen closed her eyes and ignored her. If Gu Yunran had not proposed this marriage, she would have never looked down on Lu Qingqing.
The girl who grew up in the countryside is petty and not presentable.
Old Madam Chen ignored her, and she didn't dare to leave until she heard the sound of Old Madam Chen's even breathing as she lay on the bed. She hummed and then left.
When she reached the door, she spat on the ground.
"Bah! You old bastard, how many years can you live at such an old age? You always want to control me." Lu Qingqing pinched the handkerchief, her face flushed with anger.
She was about to teach Gu Yunran a lesson just now. Why did the old man come here to cause trouble? He scolded her in front of so many people. Isn’t she ashamed?
Cuilan was startled and reached out to cover Lu Qingqing’s mouth: “Madam, don’t talk nonsense.”
"If the old lady hears this, you'll suffer again."
Lu Qingqing smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? She's soundly asleep right now, how could she hear anything? Besides, I'm telling the truth. Her glory was earned with my husband's life. If anyone wants to show off, it should be me, the daughter-in-law, who should be the one showing off. How could it be her turn?"
"She's always showing off in front of me." Lu Qingqing snorted coldly, "Sooner or later I'll make her behave in front of me."
Lu Qingqing's voice was getting farther and farther away. Old Man Chen opened his eyes, looked at the ceiling, and sighed, "What misfortune for our family!"
Marrying a daughter-in-law like Lu Qingqing.
She tightened the quilt around herself. If it weren't for her grandson's face, she would have asked her son to divorce Lu Qingqing long ago.
Lu Qingqing came out of Mrs. Chen's yard and came to Baomo Hall.
Ever since Old Madam Lu passed away, Second Madam Lu moved into Baomo Hall, as if she were the powerful elder of the Lu family.
But in front of Lu Qingqing, she didn't dare to be presumptuous.
"Qingqing, come and let your second sister-in-law see you." Mrs. Lu held Lu Qingqing's face, looked at her carefully, and suddenly wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
"You've lost weight."
"Alright." Lu Qingqing said impatiently, "Sister-in-law, please stop being so hypocritical in front of me."
"Xiao'e is my niece in the Lu family, and my fifth brother's wife in the Chen family." Lu Qingqing took a sip of tea. "We are sisters-in-law, and even more so, aunt and niece. I will take care of her in the Chen family."
Mrs. Lu took off her handkerchief and stopped crying. She said, "Second sister-in-law knows Qingqing has a kind heart."
"It's just that your mother-in-law is so powerful. I feel sorry for you two suffering in the Chen family." As she said this, she started crying again.
"It would be fine if my nephew was capable of supporting me, but unfortunately..."
"What a pity?" Lu Qingqing frowned. "Didn't Chang Zhu do very well in the martial arts school? I heard he has a chance to get into the top three in next year's palace examination?"
