Chapter 16 I smile because I am happy
Lu Xiang looked at Lu Mingzhu with burning eyes: "I am smiling... because you gave me jewelry, I am happy... but since this is given to you by my father, how can I accept it."
She still remembered how ecstatic she was when she heard that Lu Mingzhu was going to give it to her. As a girl, who doesn't love beautiful jewelry? But because it was the beloved thing given to Lu Mingzhu by her father, she felt embarrassed to take it away from her.
Later, Lu Mingzhu said that she liked the jade pendant that Lu Mingzhu often wore, so she shamelessly offered to exchange the hairpin with her.
The ignorant Lu Xiang had no idea that this was a trap set for her by Liu's mother and daughter. She happily gave her the jade pendant and felt guilty for taking advantage of Lu Mingzhu. Little did she know that they had already dug a pit for her to jump into.
Same place, same jewelry, same plan, do it again and see who falls into the trap this time?
You two, mother and daughter, never let go of any opportunity to harm her.
Lu Mingzhu said: "You and I are sisters, there is no difference between us. What's more, you helped me out in front of Miss Qin. Actually..." Halfway through her words, she smiled embarrassedly.
Lu Xiang knew that she wanted to exchange the second half of her sentence with her, so he deliberately didn't wait for her to finish: "Thank you very much, Wu Yue, please accept the gift."
"Yes, miss." Wu Yue said.
Lu Mingzhu's face instantly looked aggrieved as if she had swallowed a fly. She obviously didn't expect Lu Xiang to accept it so directly.
Phew, shameless thing.
Huamei had a very grumpy expression and subconsciously stepped back when Wuyue reached out his hand.
She is Lu Mingzhu's trusted maid and knows her mistress's plan. Now that her mistress hasn't gotten what she wanted, how can she easily hand over the hairpin? Wouldn't that be a loss of both the wife and the army?
Wu Yue was also strong. Seeing Hua Mei's subconscious action, she turned her head and said to Lu Xiang: "Miss, Hua Mei is unwilling to give it to me. Is it because Miss Mingzhu is reluctant to give it to me?"
Lu Xiang couldn't help laughing and looked at Lu Mingzhu in surprise: "Since you don't want to give it up, then you should take it back."
Lu Mingzhu: “…”
Damn, did this master and servant do this on purpose?
"How could that be? Huamei, give it to Wuyue." Lu Mingzhu said with a wry smile, but the villain in her heart wanted to shoot Lu Xiang into a sieve.
Wu Yue took the box and stood behind Lu Xiang like a victorious rooster. Lu Xiang held the teacup and took a sip slowly.
The room suddenly became quiet. After what Lu Xiang did, Lu Mingzhu didn't know how to continue.
After a long while, when Lu Mingzhu was almost scratching her head in anxiety, Lu Xiang finally spoke: "You gave me such good jewelry, I should give something in return." She took off the jade pendant from her waist and said: "Although this jade pendant is not valuable, it is my favorite thing."
She would not let Lu Mingzhu go back empty-handed, otherwise how could the play go on? But she had the final say on how to give and what to give.
Lu Mingzhu didn't care whether the jade pendant was valuable or not, as long as it belonged to Lu Xiang, so she took it without hesitation, and said flattered: "Here...here, thank you, fourth sister." She wanted to be polite, but she was afraid that if she was polite, Lu Xiang would take the jade pendant back.
Lu Xiang, I will make sure you are ruined this time...
Lu Mingzhu got what she wanted and left happily.
"Miss, why did you give her your jade pendant? I don't know what your idea was to give her a hairpin for no apparent reason?" Wu Yue said, but was shocked when she saw Lu Xiang's expression.
Lu Xiang was silent, the coldness in her eyes seemed to freeze the air around her, her jade-like face was as calm as a cold pond that had been there for years. She seemed to be lost in some memories, and a terrifying and sharp aura emanated from her whole body.
Wu Yue looked at Lu Xiang like this and suddenly felt uneasy and distressed.
Why are there so much hatred in the young lady's eyes?
"Miss..." Wu Yue called in a low voice.
Lu Xiang came back to her senses, and her eyes softened as she looked at Wu Yue. She played with her hairpin and said in a stern voice, "Since she can't wait to dig a pit, I must send her into it properly."
In her previous life, Lu Mingzhu used her jade pendant to frame her for innocence. Even though the old lady used tough means to deny that she had any involvement with others and prevented the matter from spreading, everyone in the Lu family knew that her reputation was damaged.
What’s funny is that later, in order to clear herself, Lu Mingzhu said that the jade pendant was stolen by the maid that Qiao Jingru had placed beside her, so it was Qiao Jingru who wanted to destroy her innocence, and she was stupid enough to believe it in her previous life.
The most distinctive feature of Hua'an Temple is the vast bamboo forest.
Because there are many people burning incense and it often receives distinguished guests, the bamboo sea was included in the Hua'an Temple when it was expanded. It has become the biggest feature of the temple. Many people like to take a walk in the bamboo forest after burning incense.
They are tall, green, tenacious, and grow extremely luxuriantly.
This bamboo forest is not only a place for people to enjoy, but also a place for many people to have secret meetings because it is so large and easy to hide.
No matter where you are, it is inevitable that two men and women who love each other will meet secretly.
Especially at night, when the moon is dark and the wind is strong, it is a good time to meet.
At this time, in the bamboo forest, the moonlight was flowing, reflecting two human figures.
"Take this jade pendant and proceed according to the plan tomorrow." The person who spoke was a woman. She lowered her voice and spoke to the man in front of her.
The man took the jade pendant, smiled, revealing his black and yellow teeth, his inverted triangle eyes full of vulgarity: "Hey, don't worry, just look at me tomorrow, but after I'm done..." Halfway through his words, he gave the other person a meaningful look.
The woman rolled her eyes at him and growled unhappily, "Don't worry, you will definitely get some benefits after the matter is completed. In addition to the remaining one hundred taels, my lady will give you another reward."
Hearing this, the man looked even more satisfied. He weighed the jade pendant in his hand and said proudly, "I keep my word."
"Alright, alright, keep the things and don't lose them." The woman said impatiently, "I'll leave first, you can leave later."
After saying that, the woman turned around and hurried away, with a look of disgust in her eyes.
What a disgusting man, his mouth was full of stench when he spoke, and she was almost suffocated. The young lady couldn't let more people know about this matter, and she was the young lady's confidant maid. The young lady must only trust herself for such an important matter, otherwise she really wouldn't want to make this trip.
I hope Wang Er is smart and doesn't mess things up tomorrow.
Not far from where the two were standing, a figure slowly walked out. On her pretty face, her thin lips were lightly pursed, and her pair of dark and clear eyes were spewing raging anger.
Thanks to the young lady's alertness, she asked someone to secretly observe Huamei's every move, and she really discovered something unusual.
Ugh, you son of a bitch, you actually want to frame the lady.
