Chapter 158: Did you do something shameful?
Lan Qiu asked nervously, "What happened?"
"Aunt...Aunt Liu is dead." Huamei said with a look of horror.
Snap——
The hairpin in Lu Mingzhu's hand fell to the ground. She stood up suddenly and looked at Huamei in horror: "You are talking nonsense. How could my aunt die?"
Huamei's eyes were red as she shook her head: "I didn't say anything nonsense. The servants in the manor were talking about it, saying that he died last night."
"How is it possible?" Lu Mingzhu screamed in disbelief: "Who, who killed my aunt, was it Lu Xiang? Bitch, this bitch..."
As soon as she finished speaking, a woman stood at the door with her hands on her hips, pointed at her and cursed: "Who are you scolding? If you dare to scold the Third Miss again, I will tear your mouth apart."
Lu Mingzhu was so angry that she pointed at the old woman and said angrily, "I just scolded you, you dog slave, who do you think you are to dare to speak to me like that? I am the fourth daughter of the Lu family. Believe it or not, I will report to my father and have you beaten to death."
"Ha, then go ahead." The old woman was not afraid but mocked Lu Mingzhu: "Fourth Miss, you may not know that Aunt Liu was beaten fifty times by the master and refused medical treatment, so she died. I heard that when she died, her wounds were festered and her whole body was rotten and smelly."
Lu Mingzhu was shocked and her mind went blank.
My aunt was scolded by my father?
Why.
She had clearly told her that she was pregnant when someone sent something to her some time ago, and was ready to take the opportunity to kill that little bitch Lu Xiang, or at the very least get rid of Zhao Qingya. As long as she waited patiently, her aunt would take her back.
Why did he die suddenly?
Lu Mingzhu felt a black screen before her eyes, and she staggered and almost fainted.
"What about the Fourth Miss? You offended the noble and brought disaster to the Lu family. Your mother made a big mistake and was beaten by the master. The master didn't even hold a funeral for Concubine Liu, which shows how much he hates Concubine Liu. With what you and your daughter did, the master could think of taking you back. Don't dream. Children born out of wedlock are not as good as those who grew up in the mansion. Bah, you are a born lowly person. It's your bad luck to stay here and serve you..." The old woman left cursing.
Lu Mingzhu was so angry that her blood rushed to her head. She grabbed something and threw it out the door. "Nonsense, my mother is not dead. You were all bribed by that bitch Lu Xiang and you said that to me on purpose. I don't believe it, I don't believe it... ah ah ah..."
She cursed and cried at the same time, her pale little face full of anxiety.
Huamei hugged her and said, "Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss, calm down."
Lan Qiu said: "I will go to the Lu Mansion to inquire now."
"Go quickly." Huamei urged.
Lan Qiu turned around and left, and suddenly Lu Mingzhu said, "Wait, I'll go with you."
This must be Lu Xiang's trick. She wants to go to Lu's house to ask in person.
Huamei said, "Miss, the journey is a bit far, let Lan Qiu go, she walks faster, we will wait for news here."
There was a carriage in the farm, but none of them knew how to drive it.
Lu Mingzhu nodded dejectedly.
It was not until the afternoon that Lan Qiu returned to the farm, dragging his almost broken legs. He walked all the way to the house where Lu Mingzhu lived, and was mercilessly mocked by the servants in the farm.
Lan Qiu entered the room and couldn't help bursting into tears when she saw the Fourth Young Lady. From her looks, one could guess that what the servants said was true without her saying anything.
Lu Mingzhu suddenly felt panicked, as if she was being suffocated by a huge rock.
Lan Qiu was crying in her ears, and she was upset. Lu Mingzhu raised her hand and slapped her hard: "Why are you crying? Have you also been bribed by Lu Xiang? My mother is not dead, she is not dead."
"I am the fourth daughter of the Lu family. If you dare to lie to me, I will beat you to death."
Lu Mingzhu had a ferocious look and a crazy look in her eyes.
Lan Qiu covered the side of his face that had been hit, stunned with fear.
Huamei pulled her away, fearing that Lu Mingzhu could not bear the stimulation and would do something crazy again.
The two of them hid far away, not daring to step forward to persuade her, and just waited for Lu Mingzhu to calm down on her own.
"Go and ask what the people in the mansion say?" Huamei asked softly.
Lan Qiu said with a sad face, "Madam Liu was beaten with fifty sticks by the master, and was locked up in the lotus courtyard to fend for herself. Apart from two meals a day, no doctor was called to treat her. The servants don't know what crime the concubine has committed, and they told me not to come to her house in the future. Now it's a good thing that the master doesn't care about the fourth young lady. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the master will remember to vent his anger on the fourth young lady, and then drive her out of the house and she won't even have a place to live."
"So serious?" Huamei was stunned: "They really don't know what crime Auntie has committed?"
Lan Qiu shook her head: "Everyone kept silent. The master was sick with anger a few days ago. Even Madam Liu's body was carried out and thrown into a mass grave." When she said the last sentence, Lan Qiu lowered her voice and whispered in Huamei's ear, not daring to let Lu Mingzhu hear a word.
Suddenly, with a "bang", Lu Mingzhu was so excited that she fainted on the ground.
Huamei and Lanqiu then hurriedly helped her onto the bed.
Looking at the unconscious Lu Mingzhu, the two men frowned, full of worry about the future.
In the early morning, the sky has just cleared up and after the rain, the air is filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees.
Lu Xiang brought Wu Yue into the palace.
The carriage stopped at the palace gate, and as soon as Lu Xiang got off the car, he saw Chu Jinyan standing in the sun with his hands behind his back.
He walked slowly towards Lu Xiang, wearing a silver-patterned brocade robe. His straight nose and slightly pursed lips were both delicate and gorgeous. The perfect amount of luxury and coldness in his beauty made people intoxicated and captivated.
Lu Xiang's breathing was slightly choked, and she had the urge to run away, but she held it back.
This is the gate of the imperial palace, and the Royal Guards are staring at her. If she dares to run now, she will be held accountable soon.
The crime of despising the prince——
"Greetings to the Eighth Prince." Lu Xiang bowed his head and saluted.
"No need to be polite." Although Chu Jinyan's face was cold, his eyes were as gentle as water: "Will you enter the palace? Let's go together."
Lu Xiang was startled, and hurriedly shook her head like a wave drum: "No need, I am of low status and dare not go with Your Highness, Your Highness, please go first."
As soon as she met Chu Jinyan's gaze, she immediately looked away in panic.
Chu Jinyan suddenly frowned, realizing that something was wrong with Lu Xiang today.
They were sitting together eating, chatting and laughing years ago, why did this girl suddenly become afraid to look up and look at him?
"Lu Xiang, what shameful things did you do?"
Lu Xiang choked: “…” You are the one who does shameful things.
"No, the Queen is still waiting for me. I'm leaving first. Your Highness, take your leave." After saying that, she turned around and left in a hurry without waiting for Chu Jinyan's response.
