Chapter 15 You are smart
Lu Xiang smiled faintly: "I have been living in the boudoir for a long time and don't know Miss Qin. It's just that everyone says that Governor Qin's youngest daughter is as beautiful as a fairy. Many people have painted Miss Qin's portrait, and I'm fortunate enough to have seen it." The Qin family is quite powerful, which is not comparable to the Lu family. She is not afraid that Lu Mingzhu will anger Qin Shuyan, but she just doesn't want to be implicated.
She didn't feel bad that the Lu family ruined Lu Xiang, but she couldn't bear to make her grandmother sad.
Qin Shuyan was flattered and felt comfortable, and gave Lu Xiang a good look: "You are quite clever, which lady is this?"
"My father is the prefect of Yangning."
"Oh..." Qin Shuyan dragged out the last word and gave Lu Mingzhu a meaningful look: "We are one family."
"My concubine's sister, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Miss Qin." Lu Xiang said.
Upon hearing this, Qin Shuyan looked at Lu Mingzhu with even more disdain, saying that concubines' daughters and concubines' sons were the most annoying.
Lu Mingzhu turned pale with fright when she heard the words "Governor Ling's youngest daughter". Not to mention that Qin Shuyan looked at her with disdain, even if Qin Shuyan slapped her in the face, she wouldn't dare to fight back.
"Ms. Qin, I'm... sorry." Lu Mingzhu apologized with trembling lips.
Qin Shuyan sneered, looked at Lu Xiang and said, "Okay, for your sake today, I will let her go."
After all, we are in the temple. It will not be good for her image if the matter becomes serious. Next time, I will make sure this little bitch is taught a lesson.
Dare to argue with her.
Don't even take a piss and look at yourself.
After Qin Shuyan finished speaking, she turned around and slapped the lot she had drawn on the table: "Master, can you interpret the lot for me now?"
"Please wait a moment, benefactor." The monk gave Lu Xiang a grateful smile and took Qin Shuyan's lot.
This girl helped him out of his dilemma. She is such a kind person.
Lu Xiang turned and left. Lu Mingzhu lowered her head and bit her lip, then followed Lu Xiang out. Lu Yue and Lu Qiao also hurriedly followed.
"Third sister, do you know Miss Qin?" Lu Qiao asked Lu Xiang innocently.
Lu Xiang looked at his young sixth sister with a puzzled expression. The innocent little face in front of him couldn't help but overlap with the mean and selfish Lu Qiao in his previous life.
Is it that time changes a person's character, or is Lu Qiao just like that by nature and has learned to hide it since childhood?
And is Aunt Lin, her biological mother, really as timid as everyone sees?
"I don't know him, I've just seen his portrait." Lu Xiang said calmly.
In her previous life, her death had nothing to do with Lu Yue and Lu Qiao, but when she was down and out, these two people took advantage of her misfortune in order to flatter Lu Mingzhu, which destined her to never get along well with them in this life.
Lu Qiao hit a snag and looked a little aggrieved.
Lu Yue pulled her aside and scolded her in a low voice: "Don't you know what kind of temper she has? Why are you trying to give her the cold shoulder?" She's just looking for trouble.
Lu Xiang told the old lady about the dispute between Lu Mingzhu and Qin Shuyan.
"It's all Liu's fault for not educating the child well. She's acting like a prefect's daughter before she's even included in the family tree. Your father is really possessed by a devil. He wants to be the mistress even with such appearance." Although the old lady was not satisfied with Lu Mingzhu's behavior, she was more or less tolerant of the Lu family's children. She just felt that Liu was not good at educating as a mother.
"Grandma, don't be angry. Although Miss Qin is arrogant, she is not unreasonable. Now that this incident has passed, we won't hold on to it anymore. We just need to avoid her in the future." Lu Xiang comforted.
The old lady patted her with relief and said, "There is no need to avoid them deliberately. Although the Qin family is powerful in the capital, your aunt is the emperor's concubine, and the Qin family dare not offend us easily. As long as we behave properly, we don't have to be afraid of them. We can't give in if someone really rides on our heads in the future. That's not humility but stupidity."
She doesn't like the younger generation to cause trouble or provoke others, but she can't just tolerate being bullied.
The balance in between is something they have to figure out on their own.
Lu Xiang listened obediently, smiled and nodded: "Got it, Grandma."
"Stay one more night and go back home tomorrow morning. If we don't go back now, it will delay your mother's funeral." The old lady said with a smile.
Lu Xiang nodded: "Yes."
The sun sets in the west, and the orange-red sunset glow dyes half the sky.
Lu Mingzhu's voice suddenly rang out from outside the house: "Fourth sister, is Fourth sister here?"
Lu Xiang was washing his hands when he suddenly paused. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but the corners of his mouth raised a strange arc, which made Wu Yue confused. He was full of disgust towards Lu Mingzhu: "What is she doing here?"
"Go and take a look." Lu Xiang said, and carefully applied rose cream on his washed hands.
"Yes, ma'am."
Wu Yue walked to the door and saw Lu Mingzhu's smiling face. Her dark eyes suddenly became gloomy, but due to her identity, she didn't show it on her face. She bowed and said, "Miss Mingzhu, what's the matter?"
"I want to talk to my fourth sister." Lu Mingzhu said gently, her pretty face lightly made up, her pink dress fluttering in the wind, looking pretty and charming.
Wu Yue couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart.
Who is your fourth sister?
My young lady is ranked third, the third legitimate daughter of the Lu family. The master hasn't even re-determined the ranking, but you just keep calling her the fourth sister. The fourth and fifth young ladies haven't changed their names either.
After Lu Mingzhu finished speaking, she lifted her skirt and walked in without waiting for Wu Yue to invite her in.
"It smells so good. What kind of cream does fourth sister use? I'll try it later." Lu Mingzhu sat down at the table and said with a smile.
Lu Xiang looked at her with a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes. If you stare at her closely, you will find that there is a turbulent vortex deep in her eyes, which wants to swallow Lu Mingzhu.
How greedy! Lu Mingzhu wanted everything she had, even the hand ointment.
It was ridiculous that in her previous life she was so foolish as to think that Lu Mingzhu was just trying to please her and follow her preferences because she wanted to get close to her.
Seeing Lu Xiang just smiling without saying anything, Lu Mingzhu looked embarrassed, but she quickly adjusted her mood.
She pointed at the rosewood box in the hands of her maid Huamei and said shyly, "This ruby-studded four-butterfly pearl tassel hairpin was given to me by my father a few days ago. As soon as I got it, I felt it suited me, fourth sister. It's a pity that you came to Hua'an Temple with your grandmother and I never gave it to you. I brought it with me this time. I hope you don't dislike it, fourth sister."
Lu Xiang looked at the familiar hairpin in front of him and suddenly smiled, his chest shaking with laughter.
Her face was as beautiful as a peach and her smile was so beautiful that it seemed otherworldly. But when Lu Mingzhu saw this smile, she suddenly felt a little scared for some reason. The laughter in Lu Xiang's ears seemed like a devilish sound that wanted to pull her into the abyss.
Lu Mingzhu felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar and felt cold all over.
"You...what are you laughing at?" As soon as she opened her mouth, she found that her voice was trembling.
Why is this happening?
