Chapter 315 You Don’t Have to Worry About Your Mother’s Family
Mother Wen understood and asked the maid to invite Lu Mingzhu in.
The temperature in the morning was not very hot, and there was no ice in the old lady's room yet. The doors and windows were open, and wisps of wind drifted in with the fragrance of flowers, refreshing the heart.
Lu Mingzhu sneered in her heart. Although her father was an official, the Lu family was not rich and they were reluctant to use even ice.
It turns out that it's just a superficial appearance.
If the old lady knew what Lu Mingzhu was thinking at the moment, she would probably jump up and chase her away.
Since you think the Xiao family is good, don’t come back ever again.
The Lu family was not wealthy, but ever since Qiao Jingru took over the family business, Xiangxiang and she had put part of the profits from the silver mine into the public treasury, and their financial resources had doubled. Qiao Jingru also managed the shop and the farm in an orderly manner, and they made a profit every month.
The old lady was convinced. At least in terms of business, she felt inferior to him.
"Granddaughter pays her respects to grandmother. May grandma be blessed with good health." Lu Mingzhu bent her knees and bowed deeply.
"Get up." The old lady's eyes were indifferent. She really didn't want to see her granddaughter Lu Mingzhu.
Lu Mingzhu felt the old lady's indifference, and a hint of anger flashed across her lowered eyes, but her face showed a well-behaved look: "Grandma, I heard that my eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law had an accident, so I came back to see what happened?"
The old lady gave her a look and said, "You are the concubine of the Xiao family now. Just take care of your own affairs. You don't need to worry about your mother's family's affairs."
Lu Mingzhu's face suddenly froze: "..."
This damn old woman actually slapped her in the face so directly.
"Although my granddaughter is married, my eldest brother and I are related by blood, and my eldest sister-in-law has taken good care of me in the past. I am also extremely worried when something happens to them."
"I'm glad you have this intention." The old lady said perfunctorily.
Lu Chao's affairs were no secret in the Lu family, but the old lady just didn't want to waste any more words with Lu Mingzhu.
Lu Mingzhu pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly, and almost couldn't maintain the obedient look on her face.
After the old lady finished speaking, she sat there quietly drinking tea, without asking her any questions, nor caring about how she was doing in the Xiao family.
After a while, Lu Mingzhu finally couldn't sit still anymore.
She stood up and said, "Grandma, I'm going to go see my eldest brother and sister-in-law."
Since nothing can be said from the old woman's mouth, there will always be someone else who can ask her.
The old lady raised her eyelids indifferently.
Lu Mingzhu knew that the old lady didn't want to talk to her more, so she bowed casually, turned around and left.
After she left, the old lady put down the teacup angrily, and it hit the table with a "click" sound.
"Did she come back to care about her eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law? I think she came back to laugh at the joke."
Mother Wen said, "Old Madam, calm down. No matter what she wants to do, just ignore her."
It's really unique. The fourth young lady is almost becoming a nobody.
Is there anyone in this mansion who has a close relationship with her?
Let her reply if she wants. No one will pay attention to her anyway, and she will leave if she hits a snag.
Lu Xiang was lying in the room and received the news that Lu Mingzhu had returned home.
"I see that Mama Qin looks like she has something to say." Yun Zha said, standing beside her bed.
Lu Xiang: "Lu Mingzhu wouldn't come back for no reason. She's probably here to find out what happened in our house. She won't leave for a while. Find a chance to meet Mother Qin quietly."
Yun Zhe responded: "Okay."
Lu Mingzhu said that she was going to see Lu Chao and Qiao Jingru, but after leaving Fuyuan Hall, she went straight back to Mingzhu Courtyard.
"Huamei, go ask someone." Lu Mingzhu said as she sat in the dusty room.
Since she got married, all the servants in Mingzhu Courtyard were assigned elsewhere, and only someone came to clean the house once every ten days or half a month.
Lu Mingzhu came back without any notice, so naturally no one cleaned Mingjiaoyuan in advance.
The sunlight poured in through the window, and she could clearly see the dust flying in the air. Lu Mingzhu felt that she was being neglected. She was so angry that her chest heaved and her heart became hotter and hotter.
But there wasn't even a servant to clean the house in advance, let alone put ice in the house.
Lu Mingzhu felt very upset and wanted to just leave, but she also wanted to know what happened to the Lu family, so she had to endure it.
Huamei went away immediately.
Mother Qin said at this time: "Auntie, I'm afraid Huamei's inquiries are not comprehensive. I will go and inquire as well."
Lu Mingzhu thought about it and felt that it made sense. Since she had come back, she couldn't leave with half-knowledge.
The more you don't let her know, the more she wants to know it clearly.
"Well, go ahead."
Mother Qin bowed and left. She carefully avoided people and went to see Yun Zha. Without saying much greeting, she told Yun Zha that Liu Anyao wanted to join forces with Lu Mingzhu, and asked her to remind the third young lady to be careful.
Yun Zha nodded solemnly and handed Mother Qin a purse.
Mother Qin hurriedly said no.
"It's what Madam Qin deserves. Take it now. If Miss knew that Madam didn't accept it, she would definitely blame me when she goes back."
Mother Qin was moved when she heard this, so she took it over: "Thank Miss Third for me."
"I must tell my mother about this."
Mother Qin smiled and said, "I shouldn't stay for long. I'm leaving now."
After Mother Qin left, Yun Zha stood for a while and immediately returned to Qixia Courtyard to report the matter to Lu Xiang.
“Miss, should we ask Mother Qin to do something? We can’t let these two form an alliance.” Yun Zha frowned.
Lu Xiang just raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and was not very nervous: "Didn't Liu Anyao say that she should ask Lu Mingzhu to invite Lu Qiao to the Xiao Mansion more often? Go, invite Sixth Sister to come."
Liu Anyao has been wanting to get rid of her for a long time. Even if she doesn't join forces with Lu Mingzhu, she will always find someone else.
If she were to become paranoid just by hearing it, she would be in a state of panic all day long.
Yun Zha responded and went to invite Lu Qiao.
Lu Qiao is now really scared of Lu Xiang from the bottom of her heart, and has been keeping a low profile these past few days, like a transparent person.
After entering the house, she bowed and called out, "Third sister."
"Sit down." Lu Xiang pointed at the stool and said.
Lu Qiao walked over, sat down, and then looked at Lu Xiang with blinking eyes.
"Lu Mingzhu is back, you know."
"Yeah, I heard about it."
"She wants to befriend you, go and see her."
As soon as Lu Xiang finished speaking, Lu Qiao stood up in shock, her face slightly pale: "Third sister, I'm not familiar with Fourth sister."
Well……
Lu Xiang was confused by Lu Qiao's panicked look: "Don't be nervous, sit down and talk."
Lu Qiao sat down again nervously, but felt very uncomfortable.
What does Third Sister mean by this?
Suspect that she has private dealings with Lu Mingzhu?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Lu Xiang's faint voice above my head.
"I know you're not familiar with her, but I heard that Lu Mingzhu has this intention. She asked you to go and see what she wants to do."
Hearing this, Lu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she didn't know where her third sister heard the news, since she was asked to go, she just went.
"Yes, Third Sister."
