Chapter 220: Disrespect for Relatives
"My dear relatives, whether it's divorce or separation, it's not a joke. If Lu Chao does something stupid, I will definitely teach him a lesson. We are very satisfied with Jingru as our daughter-in-law. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will never let that concubine in." Lu Youping advised.
Seeing Lu Youping lower his head, Old Man Qiao's anger subsided a little.
He had no big opinion about the Lu family, but no matter how good the Lu family was, what was the use if Lu Chao's heart was not with his daughter?
He looked at Mrs. Qiao for help.
Madam, you take over the next round.
Mrs. Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Lord Lu, we believe what you say, but our Ruer has suffered a lot of injustice during this period. Before Lu Chao's matter is resolved, we will take Ruer back to the Qiao family. When Lu Chao comes to pick her up, we will let Ruer come back with him without saying a word."
"This..." Lu Youping frowned, paused, and then said: "Okay."
He had no dissatisfaction with his eldest daughter-in-law. Besides, he was just taking his daughter back to live with him for a while, and they were not forcing a divorce. Therefore, it was difficult for him to refuse the request made by the Qiao family.
The third brother Qiao Zeran blinked his peach blossom eyes and said coldly, "There will always be a time to resolve the matter. If Lu Chao doesn't come back, does that mean my sister will have to wait forever?"
Lu Chao is not the only man in the world. Does he want his sister to keep wasting her time on him?
Lu Youping: "..."
The Qiao family's protective nature towards their daughters is really hard to resist. If it were any other family's daughter, wouldn't they have advised their own daughters well?
Other people give birth to sons to bring honor to the family, but this bastard in his family only causes trouble for him.
I feel so tired!
"Third brother, stop making trouble." Qiao Zhiyan glanced at Qiao Zeran calmly, and bowed to Lu Youping: "We will wait for good news from Uncle Lu. Goodbye."
The Lu family has already given them enough face. A more domineering family would have driven them away long ago. They have to stop and cannot continue to force Minister Lu.
Besides, this is not a matter of time, but Lu Chao's attitude. If he doesn't change his mind, they can divorce at any time.
Old Man Qiao stood up, said goodbye to Lu Youping and left.
Mrs. Qiao directly pulled Qiao Jingru away and told Liangchen to go back and pack his luggage and return to the Qiao family later.
Before leaving, Mrs. Qiao said to Lu Xiang, "Xiangxiang, come to the Qiao family anytime."
Lu Xiang responded, "Yes, Aunt Qiao."
After the Qiao family members left, Lu Youping said, "Aren't you on good terms with your eldest sister-in-law? Why are you joining in the fun? Don't you hope for the best for your eldest brother?"
Lu Xiang replied, "Dad, divorce is good. You can't let my sister-in-law bear the consequences alone after my brother did something wrong. It's obviously my brother who was wrong."
Lu Youping choked: "Is it a question of divorce now? I mean let your elder brother and sister-in-law live a good life."
Lu Xiang curled his lips: "Your requirements are a bit high."
"Please try to persuade your sister-in-law."
"I support my sister-in-law's divorce."
"Are you going to piss me off to death?"
"Dad, you should go and persuade my eldest brother. He is the one who has been bewitched by his mistress and has forgotten all his relatives. Why would you persuade my eldest sister-in-law?"
Lu Youping rolled his eyes speechlessly: "If your eldest brother had listened to advice, I wouldn't have asked you to persuade your eldest sister-in-law. Didn't you see that he even abandoned his biological father for his concubine?"
"Didn't Dad kick my eldest brother out? After he runs into trouble and is abandoned by his mistress, maybe he will change his mind." Lu Xiang said perfunctorily.
Lu Youping: "Men all like gentle and considerate women. If you ask Jingru to be soft and show weakness, won't your brother come back after you coax him?"
Lu Xiang looked at Lu Youping meaningfully, with a hint of cold light flashing in his eyes as dark as the night.
"Dad, when Mom gave in and asked you to come back, did you listen?"
Lu Youping: "..."
When Lu Xiang mentioned Su, Lu Youping's face froze and he couldn't help feeling guilty.
Back then, he was so devoted to Liu that how could he have any regard for Su?
Now that his daughter brought this up, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Why bring up old matters? I'm leaving now." Lu Youping said as he hurriedly ran away holding his official hat. His back looked like he was fleeing in a panic.
Lu Xiang narrowed his eyes, turned around and left the main hall.
Qiao Family
Qiao Jingru was surrounded by the Qiao family and entered the mansion. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Wen Ruoxi, whose belly was slightly bulging, striding towards her. Qiao Zhiyan was frightened and hurried forward to support her.
"Walk slower."
Wen Ruoxi replied: "I'm fine."
Then he walked up to Qiao Jingru and touched her haggard face distressedly: "You've lost weight."
"Sister-in-law..." Qiao Jingru called out while choking with sobs.
"Don't be sad. You have your mother's family. Dad and mom and we will make the decision for you. Now that you are back, just live here with peace of mind. Since we bought this mansion, we have prepared an independent courtyard for you. We have been cleaning it and waiting for you to come back and live here." Wen Ruoxi said something to everyone and took Qiao Jingru to the courtyard: "Dad and mom, I will take my sister to see her courtyard."
Mrs. Qiao nodded: "Go ahead."
Qiao Zhiyan said to Wen Ruoxi: "Consoling my little sister."
Wen Ruoxi understood: "I know my husband."
We are all women, and we all get married to become wives. Which woman doesn't want to be loved by her husband? No other woman will compete with you.
She was lucky to marry into the Qiao family. Her husband was in love with her and loved her. Her parents-in-law were open-minded people. She got along well with her uncle and sister-in-law. The family lived in harmony.
The younger sister is the treasure of the Qiao family. Even if she gets married, she should be raised in the palm of the hand. However, she didn't expect that the man she wanted to marry wholeheartedly didn't have her in his heart.
If I can't get my husband's love, what fun will there be in the rest of my life?
…
Lu Chao brought Rong Yin back to the rented house and sat dejectedly in the yard.
Mother Qian's body had been dealt with. She was accidentally injured by the man in black when Ah Man was fighting with someone last night. After the two men left, Rong Yin discovered that she was dead. After being frightened, she and Yun Chun put her in a sack and took her to a remote place to bury her.
Rong Yin sat down next to Lu Chao with a cup of hot tea and said softly, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been so scared to ask the young master for help. The young master should go back. Lord Lu was just angry."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and a tear fell silently to the ground, looking so pitiful.
Lu Chao took the teacup and sighed softly: "No, if I go back now, I will put you in danger. Whether Lu Xiang sent someone to kill you or someone else, I don't feel comfortable with you living alone."
"If you just walk away like this, I'm afraid Lord Lu will be even angrier."
"You also said that my father was just angry. When he calms down after a while, I will find a way to convince him and grandmother. This time, no matter what, you have to come back to the Lu family with me. It's too unsafe outside."
