Chapter 313 Deliberately Making Things Difficult
"Madam, now that Aunt Yao is dead, we have no one left from the Lu family." Shuhua frowned slightly and said.
Liu Anyao looked a little annoyed. She pursed her lips and said, "Why is there no one? Yao is dead, but doesn't the Lu family still have Aunt Lin and Aunt Zhao?"
"Madam, Aunt Zhao has a close relationship with Miss Lu San, so I'm afraid she is not so easy to bribe." Shuhua said, "And Aunt Lin is also a nobody. I don't know why she said she wanted to copy scriptures and worship Buddha to accumulate merit for the Lu family. Such a person should not be used."
When Liu Anyao heard this, she felt depressed.
It's really weird. The small Lu family is like a solid wall of steel and can't find anyone she can use.
Don’t those people have ambitions?
He was so willing to be suppressed by Lu Xiang.
"Mrs. Lin is not a big shot, but doesn't she have a daughter? I am the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, but I can give her tremendous wealth. I believe she knows how to choose." Liu Anyao raised her chin slightly with a proud look.
Shuhua replied, "Then I will meet her when I have time."
Liu Anyao nodded, and suddenly looked at the bright sun outside the window. The sultry weather made her feel irritated.
"Go and call Lu Mingzhu."
Shuhua immediately understood what she said and said, "I will go and ask Madam Lu to come over."
Madam, you are feeling bad right now, and you need a place to vent.
Aunt Lu is obviously a good punching bag.
"Yeah." Liu Anyao responded lazily, looked at her half-combed hair in the bronze mirror, curled her lips, and fortunately stopped combing it.
It was such a hot day and Lu Mingzhu was called to the main courtyard, feeling extremely depressed.
But she didn't dare not come, otherwise she would be accused of disrespecting the mistress and she would be in big trouble.
Accompanying her to the main courtyard were Mother Qin and Lan Qiu.
Lan Qiu looked at Shuhua's back with hatred in her eyes.
Madam, you did this on purpose.
At the hottest time of the day, he insisted on calling my aunt to the main courtyard.
I'd get so hot just walking a few steps that I'd burst into tears.
In the main courtyard, the maids who did odd jobs were sitting in the corridor in groups of three or four to rest, waiting for the Queen Mother to land before continuing their work.
Lu Mingzhu was about to walk towards the flower hall, but Shuhua stretched out his hand to stop her.
"Where is Auntie going?"
"It's so hot, I'll go to the flower hall and wait for my lady."
Lu Mingzhu glared at Shuhua in annoyance. She held a round fan embroidered with blooming peonies in her hand and fanned herself in what she thought was an elegant manner. However, although her movements looked good, not much of the wind blew on her body. Instead, her hands became sore and hotter from exhaustion.
Upon hearing this, Shuhua gave Lu Mingzhu a meaningful look and chuckled, "Aunt, without Madam's order, you cannot enter the flower hall at will. Please wait outside the room for a while while I go in and report."
Lu Mingzhu's eyes widened in disbelief, and her voice became sharper: "What? You want me to wait in the yard?"
Shuhua smiled and nodded politely: "Auntie, please wait patiently."
Having said that, he pushed the door open and went in, not caring about Lu Mingzhu's crazy mood.
Lan Qiu was immediately dissatisfied when she saw this: "Auntie, that bitch Shuhua is relying on the madam's power to deliberately embarrass you."
Lu Mingzhu had a gloomy face, and she naturally noticed it.
Shuhua dared to embarrass her like this, of course it was Liu Anyao's order.
She was so mad.
The bitch Liu Anyao deliberately called her over when it was the hottest and made her stand in the sun.
"Let's go."
Lu Mingzhu gritted her teeth in hatred and said.
Lan Qiu snorted towards the main house and left with Lu Mingzhu.
Mother Qin stepped forward, stopped Lu Mingzhu, and said, "Auntie, you can't leave."
"Why can't we leave? Who do you belong to, Mother Qin?" Lu Mingzhu asked angrily.
Mother Qin took a deep breath and said patiently, "Auntie knows that Madam is deliberately making things difficult for her. If she leaves at this time, wouldn't she be handing the evidence to Madam? Then she will have the excuse to punish you. Even if you feel wronged, you can only bear it. At least you are just standing outside for a while now."
Lu Mingzhu bit her lip and took in what Mother Qin said.
Faced with the choice of being exposed now or leaving and letting Liu Anyao find fault and punish her later, Lu Mingzhu chose the former after a slight hesitation.
She is in the right now, if she leaves she will be the one who is in the wrong.
Maybe my husband knows that Liu Anyao is torturing him like this and he is dissatisfied with her.
Thinking of this, Lu Mingzhu suppressed her reluctance and stood waiting.
She threw the fan in her hand to Lan Qiu: "Fan me."
It's so hot.
Lan Qiu herself was dying of heat, but she still had to fan Lu Mingzhu.
This wait lasted for half an hour.
Lu Mingzhu felt that she was on the verge of going crazy, and then the door of the main house slowly opened. Shuhua smiled and said, "Aunt Lu, please come in."
There were ice cubes in the room. As soon as I entered, I felt a cool breeze that instantly dissipated the heat in my body.
Lu Mingzhu looked at the ice cubes all around and couldn't help feeling jealous.
Rich families would have cellars in their houses, where they would store ice in the winter and use it in the summer. However, if ice cubes were stored in the house every day, it would consume a lot of energy, so they could not use it arbitrarily.
At least in Lu Mingzhu's room, during the hottest hours, there were only two, no more.
It was nothing like Liu Anyao's room, which was filled with six large ice cubes, making the huge room cool and comfortable.
"My concubine greets the Madam." Lu Mingzhu retracted her gaze and bowed to Liu Anyao who was leaning on the couch.
Liu Anyao smiled and raised her hand towards her: "No need to be polite, sit down."
"Thank you, Madam."
Lu Mingzhu had no idea what Liu Anyao was planning and sat down obediently.
"Shuhua saw that I was still taking a nap, so she didn't call me, leaving you exposed to the sun for so long in vain. I feel really sorry about this. Shuhua, why don't you apologize to Aunt Lu?" Liu Anyao pretended to be angry.
Lu Mingzhu was stunned.
She looked at Liu Anyao, who was pretending to be so pretentious, in astonishment, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
Pack!
Who doesn't know this method?
Shuhua bowed to Lu Mingzhu and said, "Please forgive me, Auntie. Madam has been very tired these days and finally took a nap at noon. I really don't want to wake her up."
Lu Mingzhu: “…”
So even though Liu Anyao was clearly sleeping, he still hurriedly called her over to wait outside. To put it bluntly, he did it on purpose.
"It's just a wait, it's no problem." Lu Mingzhu said with a wry smile.
"You all please leave. I want to have a private talk with Aunt Lu." Liu Anyao waved to Shuhua and others.
Everyone went out after hearing this.
Shuhua closed the door.
Lu Mingzhu looked at Liu Anyao who was smiling on the bed and felt unwell all over.
Personal conversation?
What private conversation can she have with Liu Anyao... It's funny, right?
"I wonder what instructions my lady has for you?" Lu Mingzhu asked with her eyes lowered.
