Chapter 62 Liu Qingping and Liu Qingshuang

Liu didn't gain any advantage from Lu Lingyun.

She tried to use family ties and interests to kidnap Lu Lingyun in a roundabout way, but was dismissed by Lu Lingyun's more smooth words.

There's not even a glimmer of opportunity for her to find her way in.

This only made Liu feel angry and depressed.

When it was time for dinner, Lu Lingyun pretended to keep them for dinner, but Liu couldn't eat it at all. She immediately made an excuse that she had something to do at home and took her people back home.

Of course, Liu Qingping and Liu Qingshuang stayed with Lu Lingyun.

When she left, she glanced at the two of them and said meaningfully, "You two should not cause trouble for your sister here, and you should build a good relationship with your brother-in-law."

"Yes, Auntie."

The two girls said in unison.

Upon hearing this, Liu suppressed her evil intentions and looked at Lu Lingyun's charming wealth and indispensable warmth that filled the room, and she felt unwilling in her heart.

Damn it, God! This good day should have belonged to her dear daughter!

How could that damn girl Lu Lingyun live like this?

And I feel like she's getting better day by day!

This makes her hate it!

Humph, she couldn't let Lu Lingjun live a good life. She just had to wait for Liu Qingping and Liu Qingshuang to compete with each other. If one of them was favored by Cheng Yunshuo, she could share half of Lu Lingjun's good life.

After all, they are her nieces, and they enjoy better life than Lu Lingyun.

Lu Lingyun looked at the gleam in her stepmother's eyes, she smiled without saying anything, and after sending the person back, she looked into the house.

In the house, the two sisters Liu Qingping and Liu Qingshuang were browsing the house as if they were in a treasure shop, looking at each rare ornament one by one.

Every time you see one, you will exclaim.

Just at this moment, Qiu Ling came over.

"Madam, Aunt Qiu is here."

Lu Lingyun adjusted the hem of her hibiscus-shaped sleeves and said, "Let her in."

The Liu sisters who were looking at the decorations in the room immediately looked towards the door with curiosity. They saw Qiu Ling coming in, wearing an orange-red silk dress with auspicious persimmon pattern, a silk cloth all over her body, and a gold hairpin and tasseled hairpin.

The hairpins on her head and the silk fabrics on her body were all appreciated by Lu Lingyun; they were all top-notch items.

In addition, she was born and raised in the Marquis' Mansion since she was a child, and worked as Cheng Yunshuo's first-class personal maid. She was raised to be fair and tender, with a good complexion and figure.

At that moment, it was like a young lady from a wealthy family came in.

The radiant, wealthy and auspicious appearance made the two of them stare in amazement.

Oh my god, who is this?

"Sister, is this your young lady from the Marquis' Mansion?" Liu Qingping moved to Lu Lingyun's side and stared at Qiu Ling without taking her eyes off.

"That's not right. I remember that there was no young lady in the Marquis' Mansion?" Liu Qingshuang interrupted.

"Cousin, this is our concubine Qiu." Chunhe reminded with a smile.

When they heard that she was just an aunt, the two girls blushed immediately.

She and Liu Qingshuang were fifteen and fourteen years old respectively. Their father's family was full of minor officials, and their biggest relative was the Lu family, whom their aunt married into. This was the first time they had married into such a big family since they were little more than adults.

In their impressions, aren't those concubines only slightly better than the maids? They can eat one more meat dish than the maids and wear one more set of clothes without patches. On weekdays, the cleaning and serving at home are still done by the maids.

Where have they ever seen a concubine who was dressed as well as a lady from a respectable family?

Aunt Qiu listened to what they said and smiled on her pretty face. She looked at Lu Lingyun and said, "Madam, this is..."

"This is my cousin from my mother's side."

"It turns out you are my cousins. Good luck to both of you." Aunt Qiu bowed to them both.

Qiu Ling bowed generously, which made Liu Qingping and Liu Qingshuang at a loss. They were frantic and tried to imitate the manners of the ladies, so they opened their mouths and said, "No need to be polite."

Everyone in the room started laughing, and immediately the two little girls' ears turned even redder.

Lu Lingyun tried to smooth things over at this time, "Okay, we are all family, there is no need for so many rules."

She rescued Liu Qingping and Liu Qingshuang, and the two little girls gathered around her like little birds finding a branch to perch on.

There are not so many precocious and steady young girls. They are all in their teens and come from small families. They are usually smart and calculating in their familiar circles, and even the elders think they are smart, capable and promising. But once they arrive in a strange and big place, they become more timid than each other.

Lu Lingyun knew how powerful the two girls were just by looking at their blushing faces. It was hard for Liu to send these two little girls to fight her.

"What is Aunt Qiu doing here?"

"I made a pair of knee pads these days. The weather is getting cold, and I'm worried that the young lady's knees will get cold." Aunt Qiu took out the pair of rabbit fur knee pads she had embroidered herself.

Qiu Ling asked her parents to get the raw materials for this pair of knee pads.

I used to do it for Cheng Yunshuo, but now, haha.

"Young Madam, please don't despise me." Aunt Qiu looked at her with sparkling eyes.

"How could I dislike it?" Lu Lingyun took it on the spot and tried it on. The knee pad was just the right size and it was warm and fluffy inside. As soon as he used it, he knew Qiu Ling had put a lot of thought into it.

“I am very satisfied.”

She smiled at Qiu Ling.

Qiu Ling was extremely happy to see Lu Lingyun's smile.

"As long as the young lady is satisfied, I'm glad you have guests here. I'll go back first."

"Go ahead."

Lu Lingyun nodded at Qiu Ling.

After Qiu Ling left, Liu Qingping and Liu Qingshuang looked at the kneepads on Lu Lingyun. They were all surprised, "Oh my God, there are still things that Auntie made for the mistress."

"Is it so rare?"

"Of course it's strange." Liu Qingshuang said, "Sister Yun, why do you treat Auntie like this?"

"What else?"

"Shouldn't you tell your aunt to behave herself and order her around?"

Lu Lingyun looked at the two of them and said, "The richer the family, the less likely they are to have a concubine. Those who call a concubine a concubine are the ones from the lower classes."

When Liu Qingping and Liu Qingshuang heard this, they both widened their eyes in disbelief as if they had heard something new.

They have grown up, but no one has ever taught them this.

Their mother only told them that all concubines were lowly and should be severely punished. Their aunt treated the concubines in the same way. Why wasn't the concubine from this wealthy family treated like this?

Experience determines perspective, and they were really enlightened by Lu Lingyun.

For a moment, they all felt that they were being petty here and everything they said was laughable.

At this time, someone came into their yard again.

"Madam, the prince is here."

"Okay, let's eat."

Cheng Yunshuo has been coming to Lu Lingyun's place for meals recently.

Hearing that Cheng Yunshuo was coming, they both perked up again.

As Lu Lingyun finished speaking, a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing the uniform of the Jinwu Guard, with a jade-like face and tied hair, walked in.

The moment they saw Cheng Yunshuo's appearance, they both couldn't help but tear up.
