Chapter 234 Aren’t there enough jokes?
"Mother Qin, I didn't expect that among so many servants in my courtyard, you are the only one who cares about me." Lu Mingzhu picked up a meatball and put it in her mouth, saying.
The food cooked by the Lu family’s chef is still the best. The food we have eaten at the farm these days doesn’t even feel like food for humans.
Mother Qin smiled lovingly at her and said, "I was previously in Mingjiao Courtyard, and the Fourth Miss treated me very well. I just heard that the Miss of the Liu family came to cause trouble, and I only regretted that I was not there to serve the Fourth Miss and was unable to protect her."
Lu Mingzhu felt deeply touched when she heard this.
He also felt that he was a really good master, which was why his servants were so loyal to him.
"Mother Qin, you have such a heart. My kindness to you has not been in vain," said Lu Mingzhu.
Mother Qin rolled her eyes speechlessly in her heart.
She said this to flatter, but Fourth Miss actually took it seriously.
Back then in the Lu family, relying on the favor of Concubine Liu, the master liked her and looked down on everyone. Apart from her personal servants, was there anyone in the courtyard who caught her eye and received her favor?
But that's not the point.
She had to make the Fourth Young Lady use her more.
"The master cannot leave the yard for the time being. Just tell me what you want to eat. I will send it to you even if I have to spend all my savings." Mother Qin said with a smile.
Lu Mingzhu nodded. Mother Qin was a woman of low status, and if she wanted to go to the kitchen to get some good food, she had to pay money.
She quickly finished a bowl of rice, drank a bowl of soup, and said, "Make me some ginseng chicken soup tonight, and you can take care of the rest."
"Okay." Mother Qin responded, "Miss, you are injured. Apply medicine and lie down to rest. Now that you are back, there is still a long time to come, so don't worry."
"You're right. There's a long way to go. Dad will untie my feet soon and marry me off in style." Lu Mingzhu said as if she was angry with someone.
Mother Qin lowered her eyes and walked out without saying anything else.
The purpose of this trip today was to improve her favor. By the time the Third Miss called back the original servants from Mingjiao Courtyard, she would have become a popular maid in front of the Fourth Miss.
When Lu Youping came back from the yamen, Manager Du reported to him about Liu Anyao's visit and causing trouble. He was so frightened and angry that he almost couldn't stand.
"Too much, too much. She is relying on the power of the Liu family to ignore the Lu family."
Manager Du remained silent, thinking that the Liu family was very powerful, had the support of Concubine Shu, and was also related to the Second Prince by blood.
"The Third Miss later rushed to Mingjiao Courtyard and ordered Ah Man to drive Miss Liu and the others out. Master, I think Miss Liu will complain to Prime Minister Liu after she gets so angry. I'm afraid that Master will be embarrassed in the court."
Lu Youping snorted coldly with his hands behind his back: "What are you afraid of? Even if I present it to Prime Minister Liu, he won't shake hands with me. He has a backer behind him, and my daughter has one too."
Because of the Queen's relationship, he is now the Duke of Anguo's man, so it is not easy for Prime Minister Liu to embarrass him.
Moreover, the Eighth Prince might also treat him differently. He is not afraid of Prime Minister Liu.
Thinking of this, Lu Youping walked away with his hands behind his back. However, Manager Du looked at the trembling hands behind his master and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Master, if you are not afraid, why are your hands still shaking?
It's obvious that he is just trying to be stubborn.
Lu Youping returned to the study. As soon as he arrived at the door, he sat down on a chair with weak legs. He touched his forehead and found it was covered with cold sweat.
How could he not be afraid?
But since he had chosen to oppose Concubine Shu and the Liu family, he had no time to be afraid. He could only keep thinking about his backers and move forward with gritted teeth.
Liu Mansion
Liu Anyao was sitting in Madam Liu's room, being massaged by a skilled masseur, while waiting for Prime Minister Liu to return home.
Soon, the maid came to report that the prime minister had returned.
Liu Anyao quickly got off the bed and ran to the front yard with her shoes on.
Liu Xiang had just changed his clothes and was about to go to his concubine's house for dinner when he suddenly saw his own daughter running towards him like a colorful butterfly, crying and calling for her father.
"Why?"
Liu Xiang frowned slightly and asked.
"Dad, you have to make the decision for your daughter. The Lu family is really too much. I want to execute the entire Lu family and make sure Lu Xiang and Lu Mingzhu die a miserable death."
When Liu Xiang heard this, his face darkened: "What are you doing?"
"I'm not kidding. Look at my hand, Dad. It was almost broken by the servant girl next to Lu Xiang." Liu Anyao stretched out her wrist, her fair skin was now covered in red.
"Did you have a conflict with her? Didn't you agree to stay in the house and not go out before the wedding?" Liu Xiang said.
Liu Anyao stamped her feet in anger and yelled, "Dad, you didn't avenge me and you blame me. Lu Mingzhu shamelessly came to snatch my fiancé, can't I come to her house to vent my anger?"
It's not a duke's mansion, so she is not afraid.
When Liu Xiang heard that it was Liu Anyao who came to the Lu family, his face suddenly turned ugly: "Did you go to the Lu family to make trouble?"
Lu Mingzhu said with a sinister look on her face: "That bitch Lu Mingzhu seduced Xiao Muheng, so I naturally can't let her off easily."
Liu Xiang: “…”
It takes two to tango. Lu Mingzhu seduced Xiao Muheng, so Xiao Muheng might not be a quiet person, otherwise how could he kidnap her?
"Once she's married, you'll have plenty of opportunities to clean up the mess. Why are you making a scene now? Don't you think the Liu family is making enough jokes? Originally, Lu Mingzhu was secretly sent to the Lu family as a concubine. If you make a scene like this, won't everyone in the capital know about this? Your fiancé had an engagement with Lu Mingzhu before you got engaged, and he even went so far as to snatch her back to his house. Do you think you'll be proud if you tell others about this?"
Where is the brain.
Liu Xiang really didn't know what to say.
And let the entire Lu family be executed?
Even if the emperor kills someone, he has to have a reason. Do you really think he is the emperor and can do whatever he wants?
Last time, he seemed to be able to have Lu Youping dismissed from office and punished, but unexpectedly, Duke Anguo intervened and he had to give up.
In his eyes, the Lu family was nothing but a bunch of clowns who were not worthy of his serious efforts to deal with them. The most important thing now was the second prince's position as the crown prince.
This daughter is only focused on her own hatred and doesn't think about the bigger picture.
Liu Anyao was stunned by Liu Xiang's scolding, and it took her a while to react.
Yes, she was already shameful enough. Her father married her to Xiao Muheng, firstly because Xiao Muheng was easy to control, and secondly he wanted to cover up the stain behind her. As time went on, what happened to her would naturally be forgotten.
Dad also knew that although Xiao Muheng was a merchant, he was also an educated person. As long as she passed the autumn examination, it would be easy for her to climb up with Dad's support. As long as she waited patiently, there would be a day when she would become a lady of honor.
Seeing her thinking silently, Prime Minister Liu's expression softened: "A little impatience can ruin a big plan. When the Second Prince becomes the Crown Prince, who will dare to laugh at you?"
"I understand, Dad." Liu Anyao pursed her lips unwillingly and responded.
Just let that little bitch Lu Xiang jump around for a while longer, she will always have a chance to kill her.
A sinister look flashed across Liu Anyao's eyes, and she turned and left.
