Chapter 49 Reward You
Xu Qingwan recognized her as Lu Weiqing's sister at a glance, and when she saw that she had picked out so many jewelry for Jiang Ran, she was already so angry that her mouth was crooked and her eyes were squinting.
Jiang Ran gets all the good things, why?
In terms of family background and talent, she was superior to Jiang Ran in every way. But now, Jiang Ran not only married Lu Weiqing, but also had such a generous sister-in-law. Not only that, yesterday's wedding was so grand, everyone said Miss Jiang had married well.
And then I think about myself, I'm getting married in a few days, and my family doesn't want to hold a grand wedding because they think it's embarrassing, and they don't want to invite many guests.
After picking up a man that Jiang Ran doesn't want, he has to be inferior to her in everything!
That Lu Yu was both lustful and stingy. He didn't give much as a betrothal gift, and his mother was so angry that she withheld a lot of the dowry. This made her so stingy when she came to choose jewelry today.
Xu Qingwan was furious. She couldn't stand Jiang Ran anymore. She even felt that she was responsible for the drowning that day. Maybe she was the one who had planned it.
"Boss, I came here first, so I should be the first to choose. How do you do business?!"
"I want all of these. Wrap them up for me."
Xu Qingwan took a quick step forward and was about to snatch the things Lu Zhaoyang had just picked out.
Of course Lu Zhaoyang refused to give in. He tightly guarded the pile of things in front of him and pushed Xu Qingwan, causing her to stagger.
The shopkeeper was a man of good sense. He saw that the three young ladies were not people he could afford to offend. He didn't know how to mediate and could only nod and bow repeatedly to apologize.
Seeing that she was not giving in, Lu Zhaoyang didn't bother to pretend to be reserved in front of his sister-in-law and started to confront her.
"Who are you? Your brain is an everyday item. I hope you don't treat it as an ornament."
When it comes to quarreling, Lu Zhaoyang has never been afraid of anyone.
Xu Qingwan was choked by her scolding, "Ms. Lu, everything should be based on first come first served. It's not that whoever has more money is right."
Lu Zhaoyang looked at her and came to his senses. It seemed that this person was deliberately looking for trouble.
"Hey, you know me?"
"What's wrong with being rich? Are you jealous?"
"I've never received a single ounce of true love, so what's wrong with the wealth God has showered upon me? Isn't that unfair?"
Xu Qingwan was stunned by what she said and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Lu Zhaoyang smiled brightly and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot that there are people in this world who have neither money nor love."
"But not everyone is as lucky as us, A Ran, don't you think?"
Lu Zhaoyang winked at Jiang Ran, and Xu Qingwan next to him was so angry that she almost pouted.
Jiang Ran was laughing so hard that he doubled over. Xu Qingwan was also a sharp-tongued person, and no one had ever seen her being so helpless after being criticized by others.
Lu Weiqing's sister is really a wonderful person.
Xu Qingwan had already lost her mind and desperately wanted to get back at him. She shouted, "Lu Zhaoyang, you old maid who can't get married, and you dare to say that I have no money and no one loves me!?"
"I'll call my fiancé over right now and have him buy all these things for me as a betrothal gift!"
Lu Zhaoyang narrowed his eyes and said generously, "Go, I'll give you a quarter of an hour."
"Okay. You, go and invite Lu Lang over." Xu Qingwan pointed to a little maid and told her to go and come back quickly.
The nanny beside her wanted to persuade her, but was frightened by Xu Qingwan's glare and kept silent.
It was also a coincidence that Lu Yu happened to be getting medicine at a clinic near Linlangzhai.
He and Lin Buqiu had sex only that one time, but she got pregnant.
The marriage with the Prime Minister's Mansion was something they had managed to secure with great difficulty, so naturally they couldn't keep her. Therefore, no matter how much Lin Buqiu begged and cried, she was still kicked out, living in a separate residence, and became Lu Yu's concubine.
After she was released, she cried every day, saying she missed Lu Lang, and she had a miscarriage. Mrs. Lu was afraid that something might happen to the baby in her belly, so she asked Lu Yu to go and check on her.
"Mr. Lu, my young lady... my young lady is looking for you." Xu Qingwan's maidservant was sharp-eyed. When she saw him, she ran in breathlessly and called Lu Yu.
Lu Yu frowned subconsciously. Although he was annoyed with Lin Buqiu, Xu Qingwan was even more troublesome.
Every time she saw him, she had a bad face, as if he had done something unforgivable and deserved death, and should be inferior to others.
"What's up?"
"Miss Jiang from the general's mansion, and Miss Lu, are bullying our young lady together. Our young lady is so scared that she is about to cry. You should go and have a look!" The maid was also a good instigator. In just a few words, she made Xu Qingwan the victim.
When Lu Yu heard that Jiang Ran was there, he didn't even take the medicine and asked the maid to lead the way quickly.
"Lu Lang, they bullied me, you have to stand up for me—"
Seeing Lu Yu coming in a hurry, Xu Qingwan changed her usual cold attitude, wiped her tears and was about to cry in his arms.
Lu Yu didn't even look at her, his eyes were glued to Jiang Ran.
Noticing Xu Qingwan approaching, he hurriedly pushed her away and took a step back to keep some distance.
Xu Qingwan missed her target and felt even more aggrieved. She stared at Jiang Ran with resentment in her eyes.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Lu Zhaoyang pulled Jiang Ran behind him to protect him and glanced at the two of them.
"Oh, I thought it was some Lu Lang, but it turns out to be my nephew." Lu Zhaoyang rolled his eyes to the sky.
Lu Yu was embarrassed for a moment, but still politely said, "Aunt."
The shopkeeper looked at the situation and thought things were turning around. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and came out to make peace: "Oh, so they are relatives! It's really like a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize family members anymore."
Xu Qingwan was a little dissatisfied. She had forgotten that Lu Zhaoyang had such a relationship with him, which made him look inferior in terms of momentum.
"If that's the case, you shouldn't bully the younger generation. Why is my aunt trying to snatch the betrothal gifts from my niece-in-law who hasn't even married yet? If you tell anyone, I'll be laughed at."
Xu Qingwan refused to give in and insisted on turning black into white.
Lu Zhaoyang was also enlightened. After years of quarreling, he had never seen such a shameless opponent.
"Girl, it's a shame you don't become a cook. You're always blaming others and adding fuel to the fire."
"You, you, you..." Xu Qingwan's eyes were red and she kept pointing at her.
Lu Zhaoyang put his hands on his hips and said, "What do you mean? Don't bark at me. I've been afraid of dogs since I was a child."
Seeing that she was about to take action, Jiang Ran pulled Zhaoyang from behind and whispered a few words.
"Okay, then I'll give it to you. Lu Yu, you buy it, we don't want it." Lu Zhaoyang changed his attitude instantly and made a gesture of invitation to him.
Lu Yu didn't bring much money with him when he went out today, but now he was forced to buy something even if he didn't want to.
The shopkeeper never expected that, after a series of twists and turns, the business would actually be successful. He happily went back to pack up and settle the bill.
"Sir, five thousand taels. Since you're a big customer, I'll give you a zero."
Lu Yu's hand, which was about to take out the silver, paused. Five thousand taels!? What kind of shady shop is this? Even if he asked his mother to withdraw the money, she wouldn't be able to come up with that much money in a short time.
Seeing him in such a dilemma, Xu Qingwan couldn't hold back her pride anymore and urged, "Lu Lang, buy it for me quickly."
Lu Yu was torn between his conscience and his desires. He was reluctant to spend such a large sum of money on Xu Qingwan. He looked at Lu Zhaoyang and said, "Aunt, I'll give it to you."
"Lu Lang! Why are you like this? No, I won't agree. I want it. Why are you so stingy?" Xu Qingwan couldn't stand it anymore and pulled his sleeves and acted coquettishly and foolishly.
Lu Yu's face was not looking good either. He felt embarrassed and annoyed. He whispered, "You have money? Then buy it yourself."
She turned around and smiled apologetically, "Please come in, little aunt."
Seeing that neither of them could come up with money, Lu Zhaoyang paid the bill arrogantly and left with Jiang Ran.
Before leaving, she threw a broken pearl flower to Xu Qingwan and said sarcastically, "Take it, niece-in-law. It's a reward from my aunt."
