Chapter 281 The shrewd and calculating Pan Ju – a perfect blend of literary and martial skills



Pan Ju was shrewd and calculating.

Although the Lu family is not as powerful as before, there is a saying that goes, "Even a lean camel is bigger than a horse."

Even if the Lu family falls into decline, they still have Old Master Lu as their pillar of strength, a staunch old revolutionary who has followed the Communist Party for decades.

No one would dare to disrespect him.

Pan Ju rolled her eyes and patted Li Yuan's hand, "Don't worry, your sister-in-law will take care of her and avenge Xue'er."

Li Yuan was very touched. "Sister-in-law, you're the one who's best to me."

She has one older brother and three younger sisters.

Among the four sisters, her older brother and sister-in-law treated her the best. They always thought of her when they had something good, and even if she went back to her parents' home every day, her older brother and sister-in-law never complained.

Everyone else says she's the happiest person; she's been married for decades, but it's like she's never been married at all.

Her family home will always be her source of strength.

On the contrary, her three younger sisters did not have as good a life as she did.

Li Yuan felt a little smug and was extremely grateful to her brother and sister-in-law.

Pan Ju laughed and said, "You are your brother's sister, and also my sister. If your sister-in-law doesn't treat you well, who else should she treat well?"

But the truth is, you should be grateful you married well; otherwise, what fool would be willing to do something that offers no profit?

Pan Ju gave birth to two sons. With the help of Li Yuan and the Lu family, she had a relaxed job with a high salary. As long as she gained experience, it was easy to get promoted.

Pan Ju said, "My two boys, oh my, they give me so much to worry about. And my second sister, you're so lucky. Yunzhang is so promising, becoming a troupe leader at such a young age. Xue'er is also quite good, the best dancer in the troupe. I'm so proud of my two nephews. If Youwen and Youwu knew that their cousin was being bullied, they might just come knocking on our door."

Youwen and Youwu are her sons.

Hearing her sister-in-law talk about her nephew, Li Yuan smiled and said, "He's both scholarly and martial, and very filial. You can just wait to enjoy your life from now on."

Pan Ju sighed, "Sigh, forget about enjoying life, I'd be lucky if I didn't get angry to death."

Li Yuan forgot about Lin Xiaoxiao for a moment and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Pan Ju's words were loaded with meaning: "It's all because of that good-for-nothing Wu. I've introduced so many women to him, but he just had his eye on the Wei family's daughter. Our family isn't bad either, but we're nowhere near as good as the Wei family. I tried to persuade him to give up, but you know his personality, he's just so stubborn. It made me so angry."

When she heard about the Wei family, Li Yuan still remained somewhat rational.

But when Pan Ju said that the Li family was not good enough for the Wei family, she got a little angry.

"No matter how powerful the Wei family is, can they be as powerful as the Lu family?"

"I'll arrange to meet with Commander Wei's wife tomorrow and have a good talk with her."

Pan Ju's eyes flickered, and she exaggeratedly said, "Oh my, I'll have to tell Youwu about this when I get back. Look how good his second aunt is to him."

"If you become successful in the future, you must never fail to be filial to your second aunt."

These words were pleasant to hear, and Li Yuan smiled, "A child who is both scholarly and athletic is a good child."

"Huh? Where is she?" After chatting, they remembered their real business of causing trouble for Lin Xiaoxiao.

Li Yuan looked around but didn't see anyone.

There was no other way but to ask the sales clerk who sold the clothes.

"That lady has already bought her clothes and left." The saleswoman glanced at the clothes Pan Ju was wearing and asked, "Ladies, do you want these clothes? If not, please take them off as soon as possible."

Trying on clothes is fine, but once you put them on, you don't want to take them off. What does that mean?

"Yes." Li Yuan slapped the money in front of the sales clerk. "It's just a piece of clothing, we can afford it."

Li Yuan felt a little embarrassed as the sales clerk urged her on, but Pan Ju didn't care at all.

Just like Li Yuan said, it's just a piece of clothing, it's not like I can't afford it.

If you can afford it, why worry about anything else?

Her second sister-in-law is just too concerned about saving face.

After buying the clothes, the two searched the department store floor by floor, determined to give Lin Xiaoxiao a good beating.

In fact, Lin Xiaoxiao had already bought the things and left.

"You little slut, running so fast." Li Yuan, panting, climbed into the car parked by the roadside, with Pan Ju following behind.

"Xiao Chen, take my sister-in-law home first," Li Yuan instructed the driver.

"Yes, madam."

"Next time we run into her, I absolutely can't let her get away." Li Yuan became angrier the more she thought about it.

Pan Ju's eyes flickered. "Of course, I'll definitely stand up for you and Xue'er when the time comes."

She never intended to cause trouble for Lin Xiaoxiao; she was just fooling Li Yuan.

She's not a simple-minded fool like Li Yuan.

Lin Xiaoxiao dealt with Lu Xueer, making Lu Xueer lose face so badly that even the Lu family couldn't do anything about her, which shows that she is not simple either.

The man's position in the military is certainly not low. Just because the wife's family has no background doesn't mean the husband's family has no background.

Pan Ju must be out of her mind to provoke her.

But who can't say nice things? By saying a few nice words and agreeing with Li Yuan, Pan Ju could get Li Yuan to stand up for her son's marriage. Pan Ju thought this deal couldn't be more worthwhile.

The marriage of her eldest son, Youwen, was arranged by the Lu family. Her eldest daughter-in-law's family was powerful and influential. Although she was a bit spoiled, Pan Ju didn't care. As long as her eldest son and his wife had a good relationship, and her son had the help of his father-in-law's family and the Lu family as a backing, his future achievements would be good.

Similarly, she also plans to find a powerful in-law family for her second son.

After much deliberation, they chose the Wei family, whose members were all military personnel.

The eldest son's wife's family was involved in politics, and the second son's wife's family was involved in the military. Just like the names she gave her two sons, one was a scholar and the other a warrior, complementing each other.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that the Wei family's daughter has a very fiery temper. If Youwu really marries her, aren't you afraid you won't be able to control her?" Li Yuan said.

Pan Ju whispered, "Don't you know how my sister-in-law is? She'll be completely subdued."

Yeah, right.

She must be out of her mind to torment her daughter-in-law.

Li Yuan laughed, then grabbed Pan Ju's arm and shook it, "I knew you were amazing, sister-in-law. Can you teach me some good ideas? You know my Yunzhang, you know what he's like."

Lin Wanwan's situation was different; she married into the family by scheming against Lu Yunzhang.

Pan Ju had no sympathy for this kind of person.

Moreover, Lu Yunzhang is the future hope of the Lu family. From another perspective, teaching him is also a way for her two sons to have a future support.

Pan Ju would be the first to disagree if Lin Wanwan wanted to ruin Lu Yunzhang.

So she gave Li Yuan a few suggestions.

After hearing this, Li Yuan gave her a thumbs up, praising her without any reservation, "Sister-in-law, you really are ruthless."

Her sister-in-law is really shrewd. No wonder every time she goes back to her parents' home, she sees that Wen's spoiled daughter-in-law is exceptionally obedient to her sister-in-law.

They must have all been trained.

If Pan Ju knew what she was thinking, she would probably roll her eyes at her.

The eldest son's wife listens to her, isn't it because she's good to her?

Pan Ju felt only fortunate about her somewhat slow-witted second aunt.

Luckily, she's not very bright; if she were smarter, she might not even have a chance to scheme against her.

It's better to be a little slow.
