Chapter 125 Lu Chao Wants to Take a Concubine
After provoking Liu, Lu Xiang returned to Qixia Courtyard with a refreshed look on his face.
Suddenly, a woman's soft Wu dialect voice floated into her ears. Lu Xiang didn't care at first, but when that delicate voice said "Young Master", Lu Xiang stopped and frowned.
Wu Yue looked at the faint voice coming from the front in surprise: "Miss, this voice sounds very familiar."
There are many maids in the mansion, and it is impossible for Wu Yue to remember everyone's voice. If she feels familiar with them, it must be someone she sees and hears often.
But I just couldn't remember who it belonged to for a moment.
Wu Yue knocked his forehead anxiously.
Lu Xiang's eyes were heavy and he said in a cold voice: "Zhao Qingya!"
scare……
After Lu Xiang reminded her, Wu Yue suddenly remembered and showed an even more shocked expression: "She...she and the young master..."
Wu Yue looked at her young lady's face, which was colder than ice, and suddenly couldn't continue speaking.
The Third Young Miss has a close relationship with the Eldest Young Lady, and she is definitely helping her in her heart. However, Zhao Qingya is Mama Wen's niece, and even the old lady likes her very much. Although she works in Fuyuan Hall, no one in the courtyard dares to let her do rough or heavy work. And the old lady is used to old people, and Mama Wen serves her the most, so she doesn't have to do anything. She is treated like a half-young lady and is pampered.
But not only was she ungrateful, she was secretly hooking up with the young master?
Listening to their private conversations, it seems that they are both willing.
What would I do if the eldest young lady found out about this?
"From now on, let the maids do this kind of rough work." It was Lu Chao who spoke, his voice was as gentle as a spring breeze.
"Young Master, don't you like it?" Zhao Qingya asked shyly.
Lu Chao said: "As long as it's made by you, I like it, but making pastries is tiring, I feel sorry for you."
Zhao Qingya chuckled, "Young Master likes to eat, so I don't feel tired. But my cooking skills are so crude that Young Master will laugh at me. Last time, Aunt Yunlu, who is beside the Queen, personally made rose cakes for the Third Miss. The Third Miss gave some to the old lady. I was lucky enough to taste a piece. The taste was amazing. Unfortunately, I am too stupid to learn."
"No matter how delicious it is, it can't be as good as the one you made yourself. I appreciate your thoughtfulness more." Lu Chao was not very impressed by the rose cake made by Yunlu.
Zhao Qingya's face was flushed with coaxing, and she looked indescribably pretty: "Young Master only knows how to make me happy. In terms of affection, I can't compare to Young Madam. She serves Young Master much more than I do every day, which makes me very envious."
When Lu Chao thought of Qiao Jingru's fierce appearance, his eyebrows couldn't help but tremble, and he said in a bad tone: "Why mention her? I'll find a chance to report to my grandmother and ask her to let me take you as my concubine."
"I know what the young master is thinking, and I am satisfied. The old lady has been in a bad mood recently, and I am afraid that if the young master mentions this to her, the old lady will be disgusted."
Zhao Qingya's every word was for his consideration, which made Lu Chao feel very warmed: "Don't worry, I know my limits and will not embarrass you."
…
Lu Xiang listened to the conversation between the two and sneered angrily, but he held back and didn't rush over.
What's the point of exposing Lu Chao on the spot? Maybe he will just go all out and ask his grandmother to take Zhao Qingya as his concubine.
Zhao Qingya made a cake and Lu Chao was so moved, but his sister-in-law turned a blind eye to his sincerity. Was he blind because his eyes were covered with meconium when he was born?
Lu Xiang was so angry that her chest heaved violently. If this wasn't her eldest brother, she would have asked Ah Man to put a sack on him and beat him until he didn't recognize his parents.
Bastard, if she gets angry, she will ask her sister-in-law to remarry and let him die outside.
Lu Xiang left quietly and Wu Yue hurriedly followed.
She did not return to Qixia Courtyard, but went to Qinghui Courtyard instead.
"Good luck to the Third Miss." Liangchen bowed and called, "The eldest young lady is in the warm room."
Lu Xiang nodded and went straight to the warm room.
Qiao Jingru: "You came just in time. The weather is getting colder and colder. The servants in the mansion should change into winter clothes. I'm having a headache with the statistics. Please come and help me."
Lu Xiang sat down opposite Qiao Jingru and took the pen from her hand: "Don't worry about this for now, I want to tell you something."
Qiao Jingru looked at Lu Xiang's face, which looked as dark as ink, and was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong?"
Mother Ding put down the abacus in her hand and poured tea for Lu Xiang: "Miss Third left in such a hurry, drink some water first and talk slowly."
Lu Xiang was not polite either, he picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Brother, is there anything unusual recently?"
Qiao Jingru knew that Lu Xiang was not the kind of person who would do something without a purpose, and her heart tightened. "He goes to the academy every morning and comes back in the evening. He goes out during his rest time. There is nothing unusual except that he comes back a little later at night."
It was indeed much better than when Lu Chao came back only once every ten days or half a month in Yangning City. Qiao Jingru saw him more often, so she was extremely satisfied.
Although the two of them often started arguing after just a few words.
"What about today?"
"The academy is closed today. He got up late and left not long ago. He must have gone out to look for his classmates."
Lu Xiang: “…”
Sister-in-law, you have such a big heart.
The slutty bitch outside is almost getting on your nerves, and you don't even notice it.
"Brother didn't leave the house. When I passed by the Lotus Courtyard just now, I heard him talking to Zhao Qingya in the garden."
Qiao Jingru stared: "What do you mean?"
Lu Chao talks to Zhao Qingya...
There was nothing wrong with the master talking to the maid, but Lu Xiang wouldn't say this to her for no reason, so Qiao Jingru had to think more about it.
Lu Xiang looked at Qiao Jingru's surprised expression and nodded at her: "Sister-in-law, it's what you think."
Qiao Jingru jumped up and said in surprise: "When did this happen? I didn't notice it at all."
Mother Ding also looked at Lu Xiang in astonishment, sweating all over her forehead.
It's only been a year since her master got married, and the eldest master actually has the idea of taking a concubine. It couldn't be anyone else, but Zhao Qingya.
"It's not clear when the two of them hooked up, but it must have been more than a few days. I heard that eldest brother wanted to ask grandmother to take her as a concubine." Lu Xiang said.
"How can this be possible..." Mother Ding slapped her thigh and wailed.
The eldest young master doesn't care much about the eldest young mistress. If he takes a concubine, won't the eldest young mistress's life be even more miserable in the future?
Qiao Jingru's lips trembled, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she blinked gently, and a huge tear rolled down and hit the table, making Lu Xiang feel sad when he saw it.
"Sister-in-law..."
"If he wants to take a concubine, let him do it." Qiao Jingru slumped down on the chair in despair, feeling sad and powerless: "Lu Chao doesn't have me in his heart. Even if it's not Zhao Qingya, there will be someone else. I... I..."
At the end of her speech, she burst into tears and sobbed.
Mother Ding was heartbroken and stood by wiping her tears.
