Chapter 102: Past and Present Life
"I have already reminded Dad that there are many enemies who want to bring down the Sun family and then eat them alive."
"I'm trying to turn things around, so naturally there are people who want to stir up trouble and ruin my cause."
Mr. Sun was unmoved. "Don't act so confident and noble in front of me."
"If you really want to, I would be happier if you could have a child soon."
After the induction was over, Grandpa Sun continued to remain silent.
Sun Zhiye felt depressed and found it unreasonable.
The carriage continued to move towards the county government office, disturbing the quietness of the children's songs.
Sun Zhiye took out a thin letter from his shirt. The letter was written by Sun Ershao, who begged him earnestly to take Qu Ying as his wife.
He could have escaped cleanly from this mess without getting stained by the dust, but now he was covered in specious mud because of a few nursery rhymes.
What a pity.
Second brother, you must commit suicide!
The coroner's autopsy results must also be made widely known.
I don’t know when help from the capital will arrive.
In the face of such overwhelming strength, no conspiracy or scheme can stand the test of time.
Go to Beijing.
Yongning Marquis Mansion.
“Pah.”
The ruler fell on the palm of his hand, leaving another faint red mark.
"Miss Lu, you are wrong again!"
"Put your hands together under your brows and don't shake them."
"Come again."
Lu Minghui was angry and annoyed, but she didn't dare show any of it on her face.
This is the nanny sent by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Her every word, action and movement will be recorded in detail and handed over to the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.
The wife of the Marquis of Yongning looked at her with sympathy and said, "Madam Sheng, you have worked hard, why not let Minghui digest it herself?"
As he spoke, he motioned to the maid behind him to pass a few gold leaves over without leaving any trace.
Madam Sheng held the golden leaf in her palm without changing her expression. Her cold and serious expression still showed no sign of softening. "Madam Hou, it's not that I am harsh and unsympathetic. It's just that Princess Duanhe's birthday banquet is coming soon. This is the first time that your daughter has attended a formal royal banquet. In such an occasion, any negligence must be avoided and it must be done to perfection."
"Princess Duanhe attaches great importance to etiquette and manners. If your beloved can get a word of praise from her, it will be of great benefit."
"Otherwise, your daughter will have trouble making any progress in the circle of noble ladies in the capital."
"The Crown Prince's Consort of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion must be outstanding in every aspect. I hope that Madam Hou can understand how difficult it is for this old servant."
His eyes swept over Lu Minghui, whose eyes were slightly red, and he paused before saying, "Forget it, take a rest for an incense stick of time."
Nanny Sheng placed the ruler on the rosewood table, then bowed slightly to show her respect, with an attitude neither humble nor arrogant. She then turned around and left calmly.
Only when Nanny Sheng was no longer out of sight did Lu Minghui dare to let out her tears.
"Mother."
The wife of the Marquis of Yongning hurriedly said, "Don't cry, don't cry. If Madam Sheng finds out, she will go to the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo and tell you about it again."
Upon hearing this, Lu Minghui felt even more bitter.
She thought she would enjoy a good life as the daughter of a marquis, but she never expected that what awaited her was torture day after day.
It was clear that in her previous life, when she accidentally learned about her life experience and clamored to return to her own country, Lu Mingchao was the mistress of the Zhenguo Mansion who had the final say, and even the elegant gentleman Gu Huai obeyed her orders.
And what about her? The Duke of Zhenguo refused to allow her to visit, and the Marquis of Yongning also thought she was embarrassing.
At that time, Lu Mingchao was a peony blossoming on its way to the capital, and she was just a pool of rotten mud emitting a foul smell under the peony's feet, a weed destined to die.
How come in this life, even though she had long since sought to restore her status as the daughter of a marquis and successfully squeezed out Lu Mingchao, she still had endless rules to learn, endless ridicule to endure, and endless suffering to endure.
"Mother, I wish my daughter could be with you from childhood."
Lu Minghui stopped crying, and was about to burst into tears, which was very pitiful.
The wife of the Marquis of Yongning felt a pain in her heart. "It's my fault. I didn't find you sooner."
"Hui'er has suffered."
It is so difficult to make up for more than ten years of education in just a few days.
But there is no other way. If Minghui wants to marry the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo, she cannot be a vulgar person. Just like what Nanny Sheng said, she has to be outstanding in every way.
Moreover, with the example of Lu Mingchao, Minghui would have to work harder to catch up.
Thinking of Lu Mingchao, the wife of Marquis Yongning couldn't help but sigh a little.
Lu Minghui was quick to notice the change in the wife of the Marquis of Yongning's mood. "Mother, I have brought shame upon you."
"I am grateful to Lu Mingchao for taking care of you and my father for many years. However, I still can't help but blame her even though I am constantly learning the rules and etiquette and how to manage the household."
"How could she be so lucky?"
"Mother, am I really that bad?"
She was jealous of Lu Mingchao.
She hated Lu Mingchao even more.
If Lu Mingchao had not usurped the throne, she would have been more outstanding than Lu Mingchao.
The wife of the Marquis of Yongning had no time to care about the abducted Lu Mingchao. She patted Lu Minghui's back and coaxed her softly, "Minghui was wronged. I will find a way to help Minghui vent her anger."
"Study hard, and everything will be fine once you marry into the Duke of Zhen's mansion and take the position of Crown Prince's Consort."
Lu Minghui's eyelashes fluttered and her eyes sparkled.
Yes, the elegance and majesty of the Ming Dynasty in her memory will belong to her forever.
The good family background is hers.
The unique man in the world is hers.
A lifetime of glory and wealth also belongs to her.
"Will mother really help me vent my anger?" Lu Minghui asked cautiously, blinking her misty eyes.
Madam Yongning answered without hesitation, "Of course."
Anyway, Lu Mingchao has already married a country hunter, and she will be a peasant for the rest of her life, so it is impossible for her to be of any help to the Marquis's Mansion.
Lu Minghui burst into laughter with admiration and said, "Thank you, mother. You love me the most."
"Are you happy?" Lady Yongning tapped Lu Minghui's forehead. "If you are happy, follow Madam Sheng and learn well."
"My daughter will." Lu Minghui said loudly.
"Then you should take a rest for a while. Mother still has some accounts to check, so she won't stay here to watch over you."
Turning around, the wife of Marquis Yongning showed a worried look on her face, and subconsciously reached out and rubbed the Dangyang acupoint.
Ming Chao started helping her check accounts and handle all matters of the mansion when he was twelve years old.
These days, the Marquis would mention Lu Mingchao from time to time, as if the farther away he was, the more he missed Lu Mingchao.
Even when the servants were making tea, the marquis would lament that it was not as good as the tea brewed in the Ming Dynasty.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo also hinted in a roundabout way that Minghui was far inferior to Lu Mingchao.
After hearing so much, she felt very upset.
Minghui is her biological daughter. Lu Mingchao only has the blood of a villain flowing in his veins. He always despises Minghui. Isn't that just a hidden criticism of her?
There was another sigh, which gradually faded away.
Lu Minghui frowned, the admiration in her eyes disappeared, leaving only the secret joy of having her little trick succeeded.
The Sun family was willing to give her money, so she was naturally willing to lend a helping hand to the Sun family, since they had a common enemy.
However, Lu Mingchao was really born to be annoying!
