Chapter 221 Lu Mingzhu makes trouble again
As he spoke, Lu Chao looked at Rong Yin with hesitation, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "Yin'er, although Third Sister is interfering, she will never send anyone to kill you. I think it was the person who kidnapped you last time who did it."
When he was at Lu's house, he subconsciously suspected that Lu Xiang had really sent Ah Man to kill people to silence them, but now he calmed down and thought carefully, how could his weak and young sister do such a thing? Moreover, there was Qiao Jingru to testify that it was not Ah Man who did it.
Therefore, Lu Chao was more inclined to believe that Rong Yin had misjudged the person last night.
After hearing what Lu Chao said, Rong Yin's pretty face flashed with sinisterness, and she thought to herself, "Damn it!" Lu Chao actually didn't believe that Lu Xiang sent someone to kill her.
Now that things have come to this, she can't hold on to Lu Xiang anymore.
Rong Yin then smiled considerately, "Young Master believes that Third Miss didn't do it, so I believe you. The scene last night was too horrifying and frightening. When I saw it was a girl, I subconsciously thought of the maidservant beside Third Miss. I was impulsive and went to the Lu family without asking clearly, which implicated Young Master."
As she spoke, Rong Yin lowered her head slightly, looking self-blaming and sad.
Lu Chao said softly, "What do you mean by implicate or not implicate? If you encounter danger, can you bear it yourself instead of coming to me? Don't think too much. I will go to the escort agency and ask a guard to come back to guard the yard."
"Yes." Rong Yin replied, looking at Lu Chao reluctantly: "Come back earlier, I'm scared to be alone."
"good."
Lu Chao said this and stood up to leave.
As soon as he left, Rong Yin's face suddenly darkened. She angrily kicked over the stool that Lu Chao was sitting on: "Useless trash."
Her purpose of going to the Lu Mansion to cause a tug-of-war between Lu Chao and Qiao Jingru was to make them enemies, not to ask Minister Lu to drive Lu Chao out of the house. Who would have thought that no one in the Lu family would believe Lu Xiang when she wanted to kill her? Qiao Jingru made a fuss, but Minister Lu actually protected his daughter-in-law and drove his son away instead.
Are sons less important than daughters and daughters-in-law?
What a brain!
She was so mad.
When the old lady learned that Lu Youping had driven Lu Chao out of the Lu family and the Qiao family had taken Qiao Jingru away, she sighed helplessly.
Madam Wen said, "Madam, how about I give some money to the young master?"
The old lady glared at Mother Wen and said, "If he is not allowed to be sent away, he should suffer a little outside so that he can find out the good of Jingru. Since the mistress only wants him, I want to see if she is still willing to follow Lu Chao without the identity of the eldest young master of the Lu family."
Mother Wen nodded repeatedly: "What the old lady said is right. I feel sorry for the young master. He has been pampered since he was a child and has never suffered."
The old lady was also distressed. This was the eldest grandson of the Lu family and she had high hopes for him. But precisely because of this, she became even more disappointed when Lu Chao made a mistake.
Bizhu stood at the door and said, "Madam, the Third Miss asked Yunzhe to send over some cakes."
"Bring it in." said the old lady.
Bizhu entered the room and took out the cakes and plates from the food box one by one: "Aunt Yunlu from the Queen's Palace came and brought a lot of food. Yunzhe said that the Third Miss knew that the old lady was in a bad mood at the moment, so she asked her to send some over. Eating some sweets will make you feel better."
The old lady's angry mood improved slightly when she thought of Lu Xiang.
Mother Wen said, "Old Madam, please try it. The Third Miss is thinking about you all the time."
The story of Rong Yin kneeling at the door of the Lu family spread from one person to another, and from ten to a hundred. Although it was not as violent as Xiao Muheng marrying Liu Anyao, as a son of an official family that ordinary people could not even dream of, any one incident would be enough to make them talk about it for a long time.
Several days had passed when He Zhiyan found out about this. She sneaked out of the house to find Lu Xiang, and saw Lu Xiang going out and was about to go to Qiao's house, so He Zhiyan followed him to Qiao's house.
"Your eldest brother's mistress is really not a good person. She actually ran to the Lu family's doorstep and made trouble. What happened later?" He Zhiyan asked while sitting in the carriage.
The children of the major families in the capital are not allowed to have mistresses. If they spend their time drinking and carousing outside, people may at most say that they are a playboy. The mistress can take in any woman she wants as a concubine, but if they have a mistress, it is tantamount to throwing the face of their wife on the ground.
Even if you just use your daughter as a pawn in family marriage, once the marriage relationship becomes complicated, no one will easily slap the other party in the face, unless you have the ability to hide it from being discovered.
Lu Xiang glanced at He Qiaoyan with an indescribable look and said, "My father asked him to choose, either sever his relationship with his mistress or get out of the Lu family..."
"So your brother chose a concubine?" He Zhiyan immediately guessed the result from Lu Xiang's expression.
Lu Xiang nodded.
"Is that mistress a fox spirit? She actually bewitched your elder brother to this extent." He Zhiyan was surprised and asked, "So your elder sister-in-law went back to the Qiao family in anger?"
"My eldest sister-in-law was taken back by the Qiao family..." Lu Xiang briefly introduced the situation of the Qiao family. He Zhiyan couldn't help but show envy.
"It's rare to find a family like the Qiao family."
Lu Xiang smiled faintly.
Who says it isn’t?
When they arrived at the Qiao family, Mrs. Qiao and Wen Ruoxi warmly entertained them.
Although Qiao Jingru looked listless, her overall complexion was still good.
Lu Xiang and He Qiaoyan chatted with her and left after lunch.
He Zhiyan went straight back to the He family.
When Lu Xiang returned to the Lu Mansion, the servant at the door immediately ran towards her as if he had seen a savior: "Miss San, you are back."
"What's wrong?"
She had only been out for half a day, but why did the servant look so excited as if he hadn't seen her for months?
"The fourth young lady is back and making a lot of noise at the door. The servants were afraid that she would cause more trouble, so they let her in without authorization. They didn't dare to inform the old lady. Butler Du asked someone to keep her in the main hall and just sent someone to inform the master."
It's really one thing after another. The affair between the eldest young master and his mistress was a hot topic in this street a few days ago, and it is still a topic of conversation for many people after dinner. Today, the fourth young lady came to the door again.
Not for anything else, just for her own marriage.
Under normal circumstances, they would not easily let the Fourth Young Miss into the mansion, but now is a sensitive period, and so many eyes are watching the Lu family's joke. If they let the Fourth Young Miss act outside the door, wouldn't that make people laugh at her again?
But it happened that the eldest lady in charge had returned to her parents' home, and the old lady was too old to disturb her unless it was absolutely necessary. The third young lady was out as well, and there was no one in the mansion who could make the decision for a while.
Lu Xiang was stunned, and asked as he walked: "Didn't Dad tell the people in the manor to keep her under guard and not let her wander around?"
The servant replied respectfully, "I saw her come alone, without any maids accompanying her. I guess she sneaked away when the people in the manor weren't paying attention."
