Chapter 222 You Don't Want to Be Shameless, But I Do
Lu Xiang didn't ask any more questions. There was a hint of coldness on her pretty face, and no one knew what she was thinking.
The third young lady didn't ask, and the servant didn't say anything.
When Chief Steward Du saw Lu Xiang coming back, he heaved a sigh of relief as if he had found his backbone, and bowed and called out, "Miss Third."
Lu Xiang nodded.
In the main hall, several maids surrounded Lu Mingzhu.
The moment Lu Mingzhu saw Lu Xiang, a sinister and malicious look instantly flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"Lu Xiang..."
The two words seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, with a strong hatred: "It's you...you killed my mother, I will cut you into pieces."
Lu Mingzhu rushed towards Lu Xiang like a madman, and the maids quickly pulled her back.
Lu Xiang stood in the hall, wearing a silver-white dress with a gold butterfly pattern. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were like stars, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, which was full of sarcasm.
"Fourth sister hasn't been able to think properly these days. She says whatever she wants. Does she think her life is too comfortable now, so she came back to challenge father's authority?"
Oh……
So what if she planned it?
idiot!
If you ask any member of the Lu family, they will all know that Liu died because she cheated on her father and was beaten with fifty sticks and left to fend for herself.
Can Lu Mingzhu be convicted just because she said she killed Liu?
Lu Mingzhu's expression changed slightly, and she stared at Lu Xiang with bloodshot eyes, wishing she could kill Lu Xiang with her eyes.
Why does she live a glamorous life with many people following her, while she can only be sent to the farm to suffer? She is obviously the daughter that her father loves the most.
"Fourth Miss, if you are here today to accuse Third Miss of those false charges, then don't blame me for being disrespectful to you." Butler Du said with a gloomy face when he saw Lu Mingzhu's aggressive look.
It would have been fine if he hadn't repented after making a big mistake, but he actually falsely accused the Third Miss of killing Aunt Liu. Where's his brain?
Manager Du secretly rolled his eyes.
Lu Mingzhu glared at Manager Du fiercely and cursed, "You dog slave, be aware of your identity. After all, I am the fourth daughter of the Lu family. When will it be your turn to act so rudely in front of me?" Not only was she bullied by Lu Xiang, but now even a slave dared to bully her.
Manager Du's face suddenly darkened.
The next moment, a crisp slapping sound was heard in the quiet main hall.
Lu Mingzhu was stunned.
She covered her burning cheek and glared at Lu Xiang: "You dare to hit me?"
Lu Xiang withdrew his hand, looked at the clear five finger marks on Lu Mingzhu's fair face, and scolded coldly: "Who do you think you are? How dare you act recklessly in front of me."
Manager Du was touched when he saw Lu Xiang standing up for him.
"Bitch!"
Lu Mingzhu was furious and wanted to fight back, her little face twisted with anger looking very ferocious.
Manager Du: "Quick, catch him and tie him up with a rope."
As long as he is around, the fourth young lady will never be allowed to touch the third young lady.
Several maids worked together to capture Lu Mingzhu, and one of them went to find a rope to tie her up.
Lu Mingzhu was angry and hateful, and kept cursing. Butler Du picked up the rag that the servants used to wipe the table and stuffed it into her mouth.
“Mmmmm…”
Manager Du stopped looking at her and turned to Lu Xiang and said, "Miss San, I will order someone to send Miss Si back to the farm and keep her under strict supervision. I will explain everything to the master."
Lu Xiang raised her eyebrows slightly and was about to speak when she heard hurried footsteps outside.
Turning around, I saw Lu Youping striding towards the main hall.
Because of the previous incident with Lu Chao, Lu Youping didn't dare to delay when he heard about the commotion, and quickly put down the official business at hand and rushed back.
These days he was often teased by his colleagues, and he was almost ashamed, but he couldn't stand anything else.
Manager Du saluted: "Master."
"Dad." Lu Xiang called.
When Lu Mingzhu saw Lu Youping, she immediately twisted her body excitedly: “Mmmmm!”
Lu Youping looked at his daughter, who he had loved and cherished in the past, and now looked as miserable as a shrew. His dark eyes couldn't help but darken.
"Why is she making trouble?" Lu Youping sat down in the main seat and asked Lu Xiang and Manager Du.
Lu Xiang said: "It seems to be for Xiao Muheng."
"In reply to Master, the fourth young lady is dissatisfied with the marriage between Mr. Xiao and Miss Liu, so she came to ask Master. It was obviously she who got engaged to Mr. Xiao first, so why did Master pretend to be deaf and dumb and ignore this marriage? Even though the Liu family is powerful, they would never steal someone's marriage."
Lu Mingzhu widened her eyes: "..."
When did she say these words?
This dog slave was clearly taking revenge on her.
“Mmmmm…”
Manager Du looked at Lu Youping without blinking.
Hearing this, Lu Youping's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp look, and he stared at Lu Mingzhu: "Evil girl, do you still have me as your father in your eyes?"
Lu Mingzhu shook her head anxiously: "Mmmm." She did not say those words. It was the old steward Du who took her words out of context and added fuel to the fire.
Lu Xiang glanced at Lu Mingzhu sarcastically and said to Lu Youping, "Dad, calm down. Fourth sister has deep feelings for Xiao Muheng. It's inevitable that she can't accept hearing that he wants to marry someone else. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked Dad to fulfill her wish at the cost of her own reputation."
This once again reminded Lu Youping that the daughter he had tried so hard to save did not appreciate his kindness at all and only wanted to marry Xiao Muheng.
Lu Youping's face was as long as a shoe horn.
Looking back now, he felt depressed that he had been feeding the dog with all his enthusiasm.
"Humph, you have to accept it even if you don't want to. You have no shame, but I still have some. Xiao Muheng is such a shameless person who has no bottom line in order to get rich and powerful. You and him are out of the marriage right now, and don't mention it again in the future."
Lu Mingzhu looked at the indifferent Lu Youping, staring in disbelief.
The father who once loved her now accuses her of being shameless.
Is it wrong for her to fight for her own happiness?
Xiao Muheng had clearly been engaged to her first, but Liu Anyao intervened and snatched it away.
"Um, um, um!" Lu Mingzhu wanted to say something anxiously, but her shoulders were pressed down hard by someone, and there was no intention of taking the cloth out of her mouth.
Since Lu Youping knew why Lu Mingzhu came, he naturally didn't want to hear more from her.
After all, it was Lu Mingzhu who provoked Concubine Shu first, which led to the revenge of the Liu family on him. Even if he was now standing in the camp of Duke Anguo to gain temporary peace, he had to compete with the Liu family for Xiao Muheng.
He's not stupid.
He had originally thought of finding a way to cancel the marriage after coming to the capital. After Lu Mingzhu's accident, the Xiao family had never visited them. He thought that since Lu Mingzhu had offended Concubine Shu and had been tortured, it would be impossible for her to marry into a higher class. If Xiao Muheng agreed to the marriage, he would just turn a blind eye and marry her. Who would have thought that in the end he would have gone to the Liu family with great fanfare to propose marriage.
Naturally, there is no need to continue this marriage.
