Chapter 255: The Slave Only Wants to Serve the Young Lady

She is Lu Minghua's full sister, but how does Lu Minghua treat her?

There is nothing but self-righteous preaching and no lukewarm neglect.

"Cough." Marquis Yongning coughed lightly, unpleasantly reminding.

Lu Minghui quickly adjusted her expression, forced a smile, stood up, and said softly, "Brother, sister Mingchao, you are finally here."

Lu Minghua's smile disappeared instantly and he nodded expressionlessly.

Lu Minghui was furious and clenched her teeth.

Is Lu Minghua's lifeless look intentional to dislike her?

Didn't she scheme against Lu Minghua's innocence and marriage just to please Qin Wanrou?

Qin Wanrou is as beautiful as a fairy, and she is like a camellia standing shyly on a branch under the morning mist and dew. Grand Tutor Qin's favor is the fragrance emanating from the camellia, and Lu Minghua will not suffer any loss!

If he felt that Qin Wanrou's background was not good enough for a royal wife, the worst that could happen was that after Grand Tutor Qin died, he could demote her to a concubine and marry the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family.

These were obviously harmless little things, but Lu Minghua was still holding a grudge against them, and was filled with resentment. It was like he had read the sage's book and turned it into a dog's stomach.

"Did Minghui make eldest brother unhappy?" Lu Minghui twirled her handkerchief and pretended to wipe the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes. I felt pity for her tenderness.

Lu Mingchao's eyes flashed, this scene seemed familiar.

The corners of his mouth curled up, and he bowed, "Lord Marquis, Madam Marquis, Miss Lu."

"Miss Lu, may I ask, are you and Qi Rui close friends?"

Her pitiful look was exactly like Qi Rui's. She looked so similar to me that I had an illusion for a moment, thinking that I had run into Qi Rui by chance in Shangjing."

Lu Minghui felt very guilty and frowned without saying a word.

After all, her deepest connection with Qi Rui was that she begged Qi Rui to bring her and Xie Yan together.

"Chao Chao, who is Qi Rui?" Lu Minghua seemed to sense the teasing tone in Lu Mingchao's voice. He smiled slightly and took over the topic just right, like a supporting actor on the stage.

Lu Mingchao smiled like a flower and said calmly, "I recommend myself to this unlearned and unskilled playboy as his concubine."

The wife of the Marquis of Yongning had a psychological shadow and could not stand the words such as "self-recommendation of the bed". She was about to scold Lu Mingchao for being a girl and being outspoken, but she heard Lu Minghua repeat in a serious manner, "So she is a concubine."

Seeing this, Lady Yongning Marquis silently swallowed the words that were about to come out.

Who made her feel guilty towards Minghua?

Lu Mingchao nodded with a smile, "She is a concubine, and a concubine with bad intentions and bad luck who has a miserable end."

"Miss Lu." Lu Mingchao's gaze fell back on Lu Minghui, and he advised earnestly, "The Yongning Marquisate is a noble family. As the legitimate daughter of the Marquisate, your every move represents the Marquisate's reputation. Therefore, you must be careful with your words and actions and not be rash. Do not imitate those vulgar and shallow behaviors that are not worthy of being in a high-class place, and do not indulge in trivial calculations."

"A single move can affect the entire body. It is not easy for the Marquis's Mansion to reach this point today. The Marquis has been working very hard and carefully in the court."

"I hope everyone here will not blame me, an outsider, for being nosy."

It is certainly not easy to lead the Yongning Marquisate to a steady and prosperous state!

Marquis Yongning's eyebrows twitched. Even though he knew that Lu Mingchao's words were intended to sow discord, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy deep in his heart and couldn't help but agree.

What Minghui said and did after she returned to her roots was really confused and stupid.

Ming Chao was worthy of being the one who grew up under his lap, and he knew and understood the difficulties that it was for him, the head of the family, to serve in the court.

Thinking of this, Yongning Hou's fatherly heart suddenly rekindled, and he said in a gentle voice, "Minghua, Chaochao, please take a seat."

Lu Mingchao sat down next to Lu Minghua and glanced inconspicuously at Qiushi, who was standing behind Lu Minghui with his head lowered.

Very thin and haggard.

Like a reed swaying in the wind, a piece of crumpled paper.

After a while, maids came in with cups, plates and dishes, filling the table with a dazzling array of delicacies.

Qiushi leaned over and served Lu Minghui the food in an orderly manner.

His sleeves slid up, revealing wrists that were as thin as bamboo poles. His skin was pale with a hint of dark blue. At first glance, he didn't look like a living person. He looked more like a corpse that had been dead for three days and three nights in Yi Zhuang, which was creepy.

Lu Mingchao was stunned.

I believed what was said, that Qiushi might not live long.

It is also true that Chunhua is lame.

During the meal, Lu Mingchao ate absent-mindedly and had no appetite.

She rinsed her mouth and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. The maids quickly cleared the table and the main hall was clean and tidy in an instant.

"Madam Hou, I have been away from the capital for more than half a year. Now that I have returned to my hometown, I feel unfamiliar everywhere. In addition, I am pregnant, so I can't help but worry and feel uneasy."

"Qiu Shi has served me for many years. I wonder if Madam Hou can decide to give Qiu Shi to me?"

"It's just some consolation, and I'm grateful for it."

Qiushi suddenly raised his eyes, tears glistening in his gray eyes.

The lady still cares about her.

That's enough.

Madam Yongning took a sip of the tea in her cup and said gently, "Chao Chao, you don't know."

"Minghui's wedding is coming up soon. As a married woman, she cannot be like Miss Jiao, who indulges in romantic affairs and ignores household affairs. Therefore, after careful consideration, I handed over the indentures of the servants of Lanxi Courtyard to Minghui, so that she can practice the difficulties of managing the household and train the personal maids more skillfully."

"Chao Chao, men and women get married, which is a major event in life. Minghui relies on Qiushi the most and cannot leave her by her side."

The wife of Marquis Yongning knew the situation in Lanxiyuan very well and was extremely reluctant to hand the person over.

Since the contract of sale was in Minghui's hand, the servants dared not say anything.

If Qiushi were given to Lu Mingchao, God knows what terrible words Qiushi would say.

Lu Mingchao frowned and pretended to be skeptical and asked, "Qiu Shi has become the most capable maid in Lan Xiyuan?"

"It seems that the young lady is really good at teaching people. Qiushi's progress is rapid."

"Miss." Lu Mingchao changed the subject. "After I woke up from hitting my head against the wall, the first person I saw was Qiushi, so I developed a kind of indescribable dependence on Qiushi. Now I am staying in the Marquis' Mansion, and I just hope Qiushi can continue to serve by my side."

"I know you are in a difficult situation, but I am willing to pay ten times the money to redeem Qiushi's indenture."

"The eldest lady is kind-hearted, generous, and good at training and nurturing servants. If one Qiushi is gone, another Qiushi can be nurtured."

"I wonder if the young lady is willing to help me?"

Lu Minghui first glanced at Qiushi coldly, full of warning, and then she was confident and said hypocritically, "Sister Mingchao, although Qiushi is a servant, she is also a person, not an object. Why not ask her opinion?"

After the words fell, Qiushi knelt on the ground with a thud, "Miss Mingchao, I don't want to do that."

"My lady treats me very well, and I am willing to serve and be loyal to her wholeheartedly."

Lu Mingchao: ???
