Chapter 293 Doesn’t your conscience hurt?
Not long after Lu Yao arrived, she heard Liangchen come in and say that Qiao Jingru had returned with gifts. She went to pay her respects to the old lady first, and then came to Qixia Courtyard to visit the third young lady.
Lu Xiang looked at Lu Yao, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Lu Yao smiled softly and said, "My sister-in-law must have heard about what happened on the street a few nights ago and found out that you were injured, so she came back."
That's what Liangchen meant.
Sure enough, after a while, Qiao Jingru's voice was heard outside the door.
"Your young lady was seriously injured and you didn't even tell me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Jingru walked into the room.
Her bright little face was filled with anger, her beautiful eyes glared at him, as if she was going to teach Lu Xiang a lesson.
He really thinks he is made of iron. He handles everything by himself without saying anything, allowing her to heal herself at her parents' home with peace of mind.
It's just that Lu Chao has a mistress. Since she is reluctant to part with him, why not accept it calmly? How old is Lu Xiang? He just left her alone to take care of the entire Lu family.
Qiao Jingru was now angry with Lu Xiang and filled with deep self-blame.
Obviously she is the eldest sister-in-law, but she asks her younger sister-in-law to protect her.
When Xiao Muheng and Liu Anyao got married, it was obvious that she, the eldest sister-in-law, should have been present, but she was so heartless that she listened to Lu Xiang and pretended to be sick at her mother's house, and asked Lu Xiang to attend the wedding banquet on behalf of the Lu family.
If I had gone there that day and let Lu Xiang stay in the house, Lu Xiang would not have been injured.
The more she thought about it, the more Qiao Jingru felt like she was about to be overwhelmed by guilt.
When she looked at Lu Xiang, who was leaning on the bed with a slightly pale face but smiling and calling her, the anger in Qiao Jingru's heart had long disappeared, leaving only heartache and self-blame.
"Do you think you should be beaten? After so many days, you didn't even send anyone to the Qiao family to tell me. Do you no longer care about me, your sister-in-law?"
Qiao Jingru's eyes suddenly turned red, and she stood beside Lu Xiang's bed and said aggrievedly.
Lu Xiang grinned and stretched out a beautiful white hand to Qiao Jingru: "If you are willing, then go ahead and beat me."
Qiao Jingru was choked up when she saw her shameless appearance: "..."
I can neither cry nor laugh!
"Yun Zha, quickly bring a stool for the eldest young lady." Lu Xiang ordered Yun Zha.
Yunzha quickly moved a stool over and served tea to Qiao Jingru.
Qiao Jingru looked at Lu Xiang distressedly: "Where is the injury? Is it serious?"
She heard at Qiao's house about the assassination on the street that night, in which someone was killed on the spot. Although he was a servant, several young ladies and wives fell ill when they returned home, so almost everyone in the capital knew about it.
Qiao Jingru immediately thought of Lu Xiang who went to attend the wedding banquet that day, and the main street that he had to pass through to return to the Lu Mansion. She had left so quickly at the beginning, so she was embarrassed to go directly to the door, so she asked the servants to inquire.
After asking around, I found out that Lu Xiang was assassinated and injured that night.
After hearing this, Qiao Jingru immediately became unable to sit still and went to find Mrs. Qiao to tell her about the Lu family.
The Lu family has no mistress. Her grandmother and father trusted her and asked her to be the housekeeper. Now, she returned to her parents' home in anger because of Lu Chao, and all the affairs fell on Lu Xiang alone. Now Lu Xiang is seriously injured and certainly has no energy to manage the affairs. The old lady is also old. If she doesn't go back, Lu Xiang won't even be able to recover from his injuries while he is sick.
No matter how Lu Chao treated her, her grandmother and third sister treated her very well.
Lu Xiang pointed to his wound and said, "It looks dangerous, but it's okay now."
The medicine is changed every day. The medicine prescribed by Doctor Miao is still very effective and it doesn’t hurt as much anymore.
Qiao Jingru looked at where Lu Xiang pointed and couldn't hold back her tears.
"Wuwuwuwu, it's all my fault for being too willful. It should have been me who went to the Xiao family. I made you suffer so much."
Lu Xiang couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.
But he said helplessly: "Sister-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about? It's not you who made me suffer this. Stop talking like that, or I'll get angry. I just persuaded my second sister to be well."
Then he handed over a handkerchief and said, "Sister-in-law, wipe your tears quickly."
Qiao Jing took it, wiped her tears, and suddenly looked at Lu Xiang with a serious expression: "Could your injury be related to Liu Anyao?"
Lu Yao was shocked when she heard this. She had just been guessing with her third sister that someone was trying to assassinate the eighth prince and that was why they created this chaos, causing her third sister to suffer an unexpected disaster. Why did her eldest sister-in-law think that it had something to do with Liu Anyao?
Seeing that Lu Xiang cared about Lu Yao, Qiao Jingru did not avoid her when speaking.
The Lu family has few brothers and sisters. Lu Yue was kicked out of the family, Lu Mingzhu is a black-hearted person, and Lu Qiao doesn't associate with them. Lu Xiao is the son of Aunt Yao, so he will definitely not be close to them in the future.
Lu Yao was close to them, so after observing them for so long, Qiao Jingru felt that this second sister was someone she could make close friends with, and that they would have someone to help each other in the future.
"It's not Liu Anyao this time." Lu Xiang shook his head and said, "Those assassins were going after the Eighth Prince. I just had bad luck."
Qiao Jingru heard this, but her frown didn't relax: "Anyway, nothing good will happen when it comes to her. Let's not go to the Fan Xiao family's banquets in the future. It's very unlucky."
Now that lives are in danger, just forget about face and dignity.
It wasn't Liu Anyao who did it this time, who knows what means she will use next time.
Lu Xiang nodded obediently: "Okay." But he looked at Lu Yao with some worry.
She has the support of the Queen, so she doesn't have to worry about the Liu family's reputation.
But since my second sister married into the Zhou family, she is now a member of the Zhou family. Her mother-in-law is not a good person either, so my second sister cannot do whatever she wants.
Lu Yao felt Lu Xiang's concerned look and felt warm in her heart.
She smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry about me, Third Sister. Since I know that Liu Anyao is not a good person, I will be more careful. I will try not to go to the Xiao family in the future if I can."
"Well, second sister, don't be afraid. We are all in the capital now, and the Lu family is your support. Liu Anyao's real enemy is me. She will not shift her attention to others before getting rid of me." Lu Xiang said softly.
Lu Yao looked at Lu Xiang with emotion and nodded repeatedly.
"From today on, just focus on recovering from your injuries. Leave all the matters in the mansion to me and don't worry about them." Qiao Jingru said to Lu Xiang.
Lu Xiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes."
Her original intention was not to let her sister-in-law come back, at least until she dealt with Aunt Yao.
But considering the state of his injuries, he could not only not attack Aunt Yao, but also had to be careful not to let Aunt Yao counterattack.
Lu Yao and Qiao Jingru stayed in Qixiayuan for lunch.
Yunzha and Wuyue set up a small round table next to Lu Xiang's bed and placed delicious dishes on the table.
Lu Xiang looked at the bowl of porridge in front of him, his face suddenly deformed with aggrieved expression.
"You guys eat delicious food, but you ask me to eat plain porridge. Don't you feel guilty?"
Lu Yao coaxed her in a good-tempered manner: "You are weak, so you need to eat something light. There is pigeon soup, which is specially made for you."
Lu Xiang looked at the well-cooked pigeon soup in the casserole beside him with a look of despair on his face.
It is true that there is soup, but it is too bland!!!
