Chapter 294 Don't blame her for turning against you and leaving
Liyuan.
Lunch was also placed on Aunt Yao's table, but it was just a simple meal of five dishes and one soup, not as rich as that at Qixia Courtyard.
Mother Zhou and Huazhi were serving on the side.
Aunt Yao held up her chopsticks and absentmindedly moved a dish, with no intention of picking it up.
"Auntie, are these dishes not to your taste?" Mother Zhou asked with concern.
Auntie looked at the table of dishes in front of her, a cold look flashed across her pretty face, "A legitimate child is pampered. She was just injured, but the old lady was as upset as if the sky had fallen. The second young lady who rarely came back to the mansion came to see her. Even the eldest young mistress who was taken away by the Qiao family and threatened to divorce the eldest young master moved back. The master was so nervous that he sent supplements to Qixia Courtyard like a stream. Is my Xiao'er not treated well just because he is a concubine's child?"
Mother Zhou was shocked when she heard Aunt Yao's resentful words: "Aunt, be careful with your words. The master and the old lady love the Seventh Young Master, so they sent him to Quanzhou to study under a famous teacher."
Aunt Yao sneered: "Haha... famous teacher, it just sounds good. If the master really loves Xiao'er, why doesn't he invite a famous teacher to the capital."
Mother Zhou wanted to step forward and cover Aunt Yao's mouth.
The concubine is not favored to begin with. If her outspoken words were heard by the master, who knows how miserable her life would be.
"You are confused, Auntie. Master Wei is such a great scholar. How many sons of famous families want to be his disciples? To be honest, with the master's current position, how can he invite Master Wei? Auntie, please don't worry too much. The eldest young master is in a stalemate with the master for a concubine. If this continues, he might really be kicked out of the family. Even if the eldest young master is not expelled from the family tree, he will most likely be ruined. From now on, the Lu family will belong to our seventh young master. The master has placed all his hopes on the seventh young master, so he must worry more about him."
When Aunt Yao heard this, her red lips were pursed into a straight line.
This is how she comforted herself these past few days, but whenever she thought about Xiao'er being sent to such a faraway place, and not knowing how many times he could come back in a year, Aunt Yao was suddenly filled with reluctance.
"Why do I feel that this is more like Lu Xiang's conspiracy?" Aunt Yao said directly: "He deliberately separated Xiao'er and me."
Mother Zhou's heart skipped a beat and she thought to herself, "That's not possible?"
If Miss San wanted to deal with Young Master Qi, wouldn't it be better to make him useless? Why did she go to so much trouble to send Young Master Qi to Master Wei?
"What's the point of Miss Third doing this?" Mother Zhou couldn't understand.
She and Aunt Yao are enemies, so why should she care so much about the Seventh Young Master?
Aunt Yao lowered her eyes and threw away the chopsticks in her hand in annoyance.
Just because it didn't make sense, she wasn't sure.
"No matter what, in this mansion, either she or I, or I or she."
No matter whether it was the old lady and the master's high hopes or Lu Xiang's conspiracy, as long as Lu Xiang was gone, she would have the final say in this mansion.
Since Lu Chao chose to leave the Lu family as a concubine, she would never allow him to have another chance to come back and snatch things that belonged to Xiao'er.
Mother Zhou looked at the cruelty in Aunt Yao's eyes, suppressed her panic, and said, "Now that the Third Miss is injured and recuperating, the old lady sends people to visit her several times a day. Qixia Courtyard is even more iron-clad. Aunt Yao, this is not a good time to take action."
Aunt Yao looked as ferocious as a ghost from hell, and said in a vicious voice: "Who said I wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Lu Xiang? Lu Xiang is injured and can't take care of himself. I still have value to him, so get rid of Lu Chao first."
As for Lu Xiang, she could sense that the man wanted Lu Xiang dead more than she did.
She just needs to assist from the side, maybe she won't need to do it herself. By then, no one can threaten her position in the Lu family.
Mother Zhou nodded in agreement.
Aunt Yao suddenly asked Huazhi: "Did Rongyin send someone to ask for money this morning?"
Hua Zhi: "Yes, the eldest young master has spent all his money, and even pawned several valuables. He has no ability to make money. Yunchun said that Miss Rongyin means that if this continues, don't blame her for turning hostile and leaving."
It is said that cousins are heartless, and this is absolutely true.
It was just because the eldest young master was in temporary trouble that Rong Yin couldn't stand it anymore. This was the fourth time she asked her aunt for money.
Aunt Yao gritted her teeth in hatred: "What a bitch."
An ungrateful person who can never be tamed.
She had extorted a lot of money from Lu Chao, but she couldn't stand the hard life for a few days. Even so, she still wanted to follow him into the mansion to enjoy the wealth and glory. Bah!
"Did Lu Chao ever doubt her?" Aunt Yao asked again.
Huazhi shook her head at first, and then said: "No, except that life is a little harder, I treat Rongyin the same as always." The eldest young master goes to the academy to study during the day and goes back home after class. Rongyin can coax and lie, so it is not easy for the eldest young master to discover her true face.
I have to say that Rong Yin is indeed good at winning over men.
Aunt Yao couldn't help but think that if she had this ability, why would she have had to accompany Liu to raise her? In the end, she got nothing in return and ended up in trouble.
"Give her one hundred taels and ask her to do one last thing for me. After that, I will pay her the rest of the money, and she won't have to stay with Lu Chao anymore." Aunt Yao said.
She spent a lot of money on Rongyin, most of her savings.
Huazhi leaned over and listened to Aunt Yao's instructions.
The old lady was also thinking about Lu Chao. Although she was very disappointed with Lu Chao's behavior, as her eldest grandson whom she had raised since he was a child, the old lady had always been looking forward to and respecting him, so she would ask Mother Wen to secretly check on his current situation from time to time.
The old lady was relieved about Qiao Jingru's return, but she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Lu Chao devoted himself to his mistress, who knew that Qiao Jingru would actually divorce him in a fit of anger.
"Madam, I think we should bring the young master back home first. He has been living a hard life outside for so long. Once he comes back and knows the difference between heaven and earth, he will probably be more tolerant."
The old lady loves her grandson very much, but she cannot change the issue of principle.
"He can come back, unless he begs to come back and breaks off his relationship with his mistress."
If they were to show mercy and take Lu Chao back home this time, things might get even worse in the future.
Mother Wen sighed softly in her heart. She just said that and didn't hold much hope that the old lady would give in.
"It's obvious that Rong Yin is not a person who can be taken care of easily, but the young master protects her very closely." Mother Wen said bitterly.
Such a good family was thrown into chaos by a mistress.
The old lady said solemnly, "Since she is restless, she will reveal her true colors sooner or later. If my grandson doesn't see Rong Yin's true colors clearly, I'm afraid he won't turn back."
"That bitch is so cunning, I went there several times but couldn't catch her."
