Chapter 277 Pretending to be noble
If Lu Mingzhu wasn't the daughter of a minister, Xiao Xiao felt that he could have said something even more unpleasant.
However, just these words were enough to make Lu Mingzhu's face turn pale and blue, and the smile on her face was like dried dog shit, which made her embarrassed.
Damn Xiao Xiao, she is just the daughter of a merchant family, yet she dared to laugh at her vulgar taste without even realizing her own lowly status.
"Fifth sister, I have put a lot of thought into these." Lu Mingzhu suppressed the anger in her heart and said with a forced smile.
Xiao Xiao said impatiently: "Who cares about your thoughts, come here, take all the things for me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Xiao's personal maid immediately brought the old woman and the maid into the house. According to her master's preferences, she put away all the things she didn't like and replaced them.
"Go check the other rooms again." Xiao Xiao said angrily, standing at the door.
Lu Mingzhu was so angry that her body was shaking.
Xiao Xiao glanced at Lu Mingzhu and said in a cold voice, "I am the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family. There are rules for what to put on display. Aunt Lu was only a concubine's daughter in the past. How can she understand the dignity of a legitimate daughter? Don't interfere with the things in my room in the future."
"You..." Lu Mingzhu stared with anger flickering in her eyes.
Xiao Xiaocai was not afraid of her getting angry. He snorted at her and went into the house.
Now her elder brother is going to marry the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Her maid came out immediately and said to Lu Mingzhu: "My young lady wants to rest, Madam Lu, please go back."
Directly issued an order to expel them.
Lu Mingzhu seemed to have lost control of her expression and turned away angrily.
She asked Huamei to invite Xiao Muheng.
As soon as Xiao Muheng stepped into the yard, he saw Lu Mingzhu running towards him like a butterfly and throwing herself into his arms.
"My husband, Fifth Sister is really going too far."
Xiao Muheng was still in high spirits with Lu Mingzhu, so he patiently asked, "What happened to Xiaoxiao?"
"I decorated her house with good intentions and put so much thought into it, but she mocked me for being born out of wedlock, having low standards and no taste. She said some really nasty things and even removed all the things I had decorated."
Lu Mingzhu leaned her head on Xiao Muheng's chest, slightly pouting her red lips as she complained in dissatisfaction.
She felt that her husband loved her so much and would definitely comfort her well.
It would be better to scold Xiao Xiao again so that Xiao Xiao would know that he should be more respectful and polite to himself.
When Xiao Muheng heard the words "born by a concubine", his face stiffened slightly. Lu Xiang's stunning appearance unexpectedly emerged in his mind. Her every move, smile, anger and scolding were so bright and moving that he could not forget her. In comparison, Lu Mingzhu in his arms suddenly felt petty.
Lu Mingzhu didn't know that Xiao Muheng's mind had drifted to other places. Seeing that he didn't speak, she raised her head slightly, with greed in her dark eyes: "Husband, since Fifth Sister doesn't like those things, why don't you put them in my room to decorate my monotonous room? What do you think?"
Xiao Muheng's eyes flashed with disdain, and he pushed Lu Mingzhu away calmly, saying lightly: "Wait a while, the mansion will be very busy these days, don't make trouble."
Xiaoxiao was right. How could a child born out of wedlock be the same as one who grew up in the mansion?
Even though she was a concubine in the mansion, she had learned rules and etiquette since childhood and was definitely not as blatantly greedy as Lu Mingzhu.
Lu Xiang, the daughter of the Lu family, would not be like this.
When Lu Mingzhu heard this, she immediately looked unhappy.
"Husband, how have I caused any trouble?" She had been busy for so many days to help the Xiao family get to Beijing, and she was very tired. But it was a hateful thing that Xiao Xiao threw her hard work on the ground and trampled on it.
Xiao Muheng frowned slightly and said, "Be good, stop making trouble. I have something else to do. I'm leaving first."
Having said that, he left without looking back.
Lu Mingzhu looked at Xiao Muheng's departing back and stomped her feet angrily.
I became more and more itchy for the treasures collected by Xiao Xiaoyuan.
Saying that she has no taste, huh, she is obviously full of the stink of money, but she is still pretending to be noble.
…
Qixia Pavilion, the clusters of flowers outside the window are in full bloom, reflected on the cicada-wing window screens, the branches sway in the wind, bringing a fragrant breath that ripples in the room.
Lu Xiangsheng knocked his head on the table in despair. There were so many things to deal with and so many accounts to settle. She was so tired now that her sister-in-law was gone.
Shaking his hands that were about to cramp from pulling the abacus, Lu Xiang sat up and prepared to continue fighting.
At this time, Yun Zha stood at the door and said, "Miss, the second young lady is here."
Lu Xiang hurriedly said, "Please come in."
As he spoke, Lu Yao walked in slowly.
Her black hair was scattered like a waterfall, with a golden hairpin inserted diagonally. Her almond eyes, willow eyebrows, and cherry mouth were like a delicate and blooming rose, red and translucent, and she was wearing a purple dress with a rosy glow, which made her look elegant and refined.
"Second sister." Lu Xiang called with a smile.
"Third sister." Lu Yao said with a smile.
Following closely behind Lu Yao came Liang Chen.
Lu Xiang looked at Liangchen in surprise and asked, "Liangchen, what's wrong with my sister-in-law?"
Liang Chen bowed to Lu Xiang, and then said, "My dear Third Miss, I was asked by the First Young Madam to come to the Third Miss for advice. The day after tomorrow, Prime Minister Liu's daughter will marry Xiao Muheng. The First Young Madam received a wedding invitation from the Xiao family, saying that the Fourth Miss is now the Xiao family's concubine, so it is reasonable for the First Young Madam to attend."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yao exclaimed, "What a coincidence, I also received a wedding invitation from the Xiao family. From my father's attitude, he doesn't want to recognize Xiao Muheng as his son-in-law, but my mother-in-law said that although the wedding invitation was sent by the Xiao family, it was really about the face of Prime Minister Liu behind the scenes. Her words and deeds all told me that I must go. I have never attended such an occasion before, so I came back to ask my third sister if she would go?"
Strictly speaking, my father and Liu Xiang are not in an antagonistic relationship. Even if Liu Anyao and Xiao Muheng get married, they may not think they are sincere when they go to congratulate them.
But Lu Mingzhu is Xiao Muheng's concubine, so even if it's just a formality, the wedding invitation will be sent to the Lu family.
Lu Xiang's dark eyes sank slightly. She had received the wedding invitation, but she didn't take it seriously at all. Anyway, there was no need to maintain any superficial friendship with the Liu family or Xiao Muheng, so she didn't want to go.
But now that I heard that my eldest sister-in-law and second sister had each received wedding invitations separately, it seemed like Liu Anyao did it on purpose.
If Lu Mingzhu was living a good life, she would only come back to show off, but would not choose to send wedding invitations to Xiao Muheng and Liu Anyao on their wedding day.
What to see at Xiao Mansion?
Look at her, a concubine, hiding sadly aside and watching a newlywed couple worship heaven and earth?
"Miss Third, should we just ignore what the eldest young lady meant?" Liangchen asked.
