Chapter 25: Too much reading is not good
The wind blew and the clouds parted, and the light of the morning sun penetrated the clouds and poured in from the half-open carved window, casting a hazy shadow on Lu Xiang, who was sitting by the window with a book in her hand, making her look even more graceful.
Click, click!
Lu Xiang was cracking melon seeds happily and turning the pages of the book in his hand quickly.
"This master is really a piece of shit. It's fine that he ignored his little disciple's feelings, but he actually killed him for the sake of the people of the world. Poor little disciple, all his true feelings were wasted."
"It's not as tear-jerking as the love story between the Demon Cult leader and the Righteous Saint some time ago."
"Even that book about true love between men is a hundred times better than this crappy master."
"Yun Zhai Yun Zhai, go buy me some new booklets tomorrow."
Yun Zhe: “…”
She wants to play dead!
Which bastard gave the young lady that notebook about love stories between men? Ever since she accidentally read it, she has become particularly fond of strange notebooks. She used to read poems, ancient books, historical records and biographies, so why did her style change suddenly?
Even now, when I watch a tragic love story between a master and his disciple, I can still enjoy watching it while cursing in dissatisfaction.
"Cloud cover?"
Seeing that Yun Zhe didn't respond, Lu Xiang reluctantly moved his eyes away from the notebook and looked up at her.
Yun Zha curled her lips and said, "Miss, reading too much of this kind of book is not good for you. The old lady will be angry."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll spank you before the old lady gets angry." Lu Xiang bared his teeth and threatened fiercely.
Yun Zhe: "Okay."
Wu Yue pushed the door open and said, "The master has ordered that in three days, the elders of the clan should be asked to enter Lu Mingzhu in the family tree and promote Liu to be the concubine."
As he said this, Wu Yue became so angry that his little face puffed up like a toad.
Lu Xiang raised his eyebrows: "It's expected."
This news spread throughout the Lu Mansion, and everyone had different thoughts.
Qiao Jingru smacked her lips and exclaimed in amazement: "This Liu is so cunning. Her daughter's reputation is so bad, but she can still be doted on by her father. I have to go and learn from her someday." She also wanted to make Lu Chaoxun so obedient.
"My daughter is self-defeating, and it's clear that Madam Liu is not a good person either. Madam, please don't lose your mind." Liangchen said with tears in her eyes.
"I know, I know. I was just saying it casually. Look how nervous you are."
Aunt Fang was so angry that she stamped her feet in her room. She wanted to throw something but couldn't bear to do it, so she slammed the table with a loud bang: "Fox spirit, bitch..."
The maid stood silently by the side. The aunt was very angry and everything she said was wrong.
When Aunt Lin heard the news, she was stunned for a while, sighed softly, and no one knew what she was thinking in her quiet eyes.
Aunt Yao took a big gulp of the cold tea, suppressed the jealousy in her heart, and brainwashed herself repeatedly that it would be beneficial for her if Liu was favored.
No matter what everyone thinks, after the abbot of Hua'an Temple performed a ritual for Bai, Liu and Lu Mingzhu were officially included in the Lu family tree.
They burned incense and kowtowed to their ancestors, then kowtowed and served tea to the old lady. After the simple process, the two officially established their relationship.
"Madam Liu, since you have entered the Lu family, I hope you can always restrain yourself, remember the Lu family rules, serve the master attentively, teach the children strictly, and maintain the reputation of the Lu family."
"Mingzhu, from now on you are the fourth daughter of the Lu family. Sisters must live in harmony with each other. Remember that we all prosper together and we all suffer together. Do not do anything that would bring disgrace to the family."
Liu and Lu Mingzhu were filled with hatred in their hearts, but they appeared to be even more submissive and obedient.
"I will follow the old lady's instructions." Liu said.
Lu Mingzhu said: "I will follow my grandmother's teachings."
Lu Youping did not hold a big banquet, but just had a simple family dinner.
It would be fine if she was promoted to the main wife, but Liu only gave her the title of concubine when Lu Mingzhu was already so old, so outsiders would know her previous identity as a concubine. Now it is kept secret, and others will not dig into the family affairs of the Lu family.
Who cares how many concubines and concubines you have in your house?
"Fourth sister, from now on you must remember that you are called Third Sister. Don't call me the wrong name." Lu Xiang looked at Lu Mingzhu with a smile, his bright eyes slightly tilted, his gentleness and sharpness fully revealed, making people feel cold when they met him.
Lu Mingzhu's face froze, as if she had swallowed a fly: "Yes, Third Sister."
Lu Yue passed by Lu Mingzhu and glared at her: "I have been the fourth lady for thirteen years, but because of you, I became the fifth lady for no reason. Humph."
"Fifth sister, grandma just said that sisters should live in harmony, and you come to quarrel with me. Do you want to slap grandma in the face?" Lu Mingzhu glared back.
You little bitch, I'm afraid of Lu Xiang because she's the legitimate daughter and is doted on by the old lady, so I don't dare argue with her openly. Who do you think you are, Lu Yue, to come and yell at me? How could I be afraid of you when I'm doted on by my father?
Lu Yue was choked by Lu Mingzhu. Her eyes widened but she dared not say anything.
Seeing this, Lu Qiao hurriedly pulled Lu Yue away. Lu Yue finally stepped on the stairs but did not stay for long. She just walked away while looking back and saying harsh words.
"Just wait and see."
Lu Mingzhu responded with a disdainful sneer.
Dinner was served in the main hall in the front yard, and the whole family ate together.
The old lady sat in the middle, Lu Youping sat on her left, and the others sat on the left and right sides. Lu Xiang sat next to the old lady.
Naturally, Liu sat next to Lu Youping. Today was her lucky day, so she was dressed particularly brightly, and her every frown and smile revealed her charming demeanor.
Lu Youping diligently picked up food for the old lady, and there was almost no room for Mother Wen to show off.
However, her son's filial piety made the old lady very happy during the meal.
During the meal, Aunt Yao would occasionally chat and laugh with Liu, but everyone else just ate in silence.
Only Lu Xiang had a look of enjoyment on his face. He would occasionally point to the places that Yun Zha could not reach and ask her to bring the dishes over. He was not affected at all. He ate his food with great pleasure and then picked up some food with his chopsticks for the old lady.
When they were almost done eating, Manager Du suddenly came in, holding up the corner of his clothes.
"Master, someone outside the mansion wants to see you."
"Oh?" Lu Youping wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and asked, "Who is it?"
"He is a young man named Xiao." Zhou Ben said with his head lowered.
"Please ask him to wait in the study."
Snap——
The chopsticks in Lu Xiang's hand suddenly fell to the ground, which seemed particularly abrupt in the not-so-noisy dining room.
The old lady glanced at her and saw that her face was pale, her teeth were tightly biting her lips, and her pretty little face looked ferocious for a moment.
"Xiangxiang, what's wrong?" The old lady looked at Lu Xiang worriedly and asked.
Lu Xiang came back to her senses and realized that her hands and feet had become icy cold. There was an indescribable chill running through her body, as if it was going to solidify her blood.
"I...I'm fine. I just slipped and dropped my chopsticks."
Lu Xiang explained with a stiff expression.
A young man named Xiao? It must be Xiao Muheng, right?
