Chapter 33 Sister-in-law, Let's Reconcile
Here it comes again...
I gave her a purse five days ago, and today I gave her a handkerchief?
He would serve her tea and water when she was free, secretly cover her with a quilt when she fell asleep, and share delicious snacks with her with a smile.
Qiao Jingru shuddered and stared at Lu Xiang desperately: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Lu Xiang blinked innocently: "Sister-in-law, I've done it so obviously, don't you see it?"
Qiao Jingru: “…”
If I were a worm in your stomach, how could I know what you want to do?
Lu Xiang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law doesn't understand, it must be because I didn't do it clearly enough. It doesn't matter, I'll just tell you directly."
The corner of Qiao Jingru's mouth twitched. Look, look, this flattering tone, this fawning little eyes. She suddenly missed the arrogant Lu Xiang in the past. At least she didn't have to guess so hard.
"Sister-in-law, let's reconcile. In the past, my sister was ignorant, had a bad temper and was annoying, so she always made you angry. Please be magnanimous and forgive me, okay?" Lu Xiang held the handkerchief and looked at Qiao Jingru with starry eyes.
Qiao Jingru was dumbfounded, looking as if she had seen a ghost.
"Lu Xiang, what evil intentions are you planning now? Do you think I'm easy to fool?" Qiao Jingru glared at Lu Xiang fiercely, then left.
But just after taking a step, he turned back suddenly, snatched the handkerchief from Lu Xiang's hand, and ran away in a hurry.
Apart from anything else, Lu Xiang's embroidery skills are really great. It would be a waste not to take this gift given to her.
Lu Xiang looked at Qiao Jingru, who was running faster than a rabbit, and touched his nose awkwardly. Is her character so bad? He had shown his goodwill so clearly, but his sister-in-law was still so defensive?
"I'm almost recovered from my cold, so you don't have to stay with me anymore. Xiangxiang must have been bored for the past half month." The old lady sat sideways on the couch, covered with a blanket, and smiled at Lu Xiang and Qiao Jingru.
Lu Xiang sat close to the old lady, and when she heard the words, she nudged the old lady and said coquettishly: "What are you talking about, grandma? How can I be bored when I am filial to grandma? Mother Wen's good cooking skills have made me picky. I wish I could live with grandma every day." She missed too much in her last life. If she could start over again, she only hoped that grandma would live a hundred years. Even if she risked her own life, she would never let Liu have the chance to harm grandma again.
The old lady was overjoyed when she heard this, but she said with disdain, "You've spoiled your little mouth, eating meat every day. You're almost eating up all of Grandmother's food. You'd better leave quickly."
"Grandma, please give me some face in front of my sister-in-law." Lu Xiang pouted and muttered.
Qiao Jingru was peeling an apple for the old lady and almost cut her hand several times.
Damn it, why is Lu Xiang like this now?
The old lady noticed Qiao Jingru's absent-minded look and thought she was worried about Lu Chao. She couldn't help but sigh and asked softly, "How long has it been since Chao'er came back?"
When she heard the old lady mention Lu Chao, Qiao Jingru's grievances surged like a raging river, and she wanted to beat Lu Chao to death on the shore. However, her expression changed several times, and she replied obediently: "It's been more than a month. Maybe because of the heavy workload in the academy, my husband didn't run back and forth."
The old lady knew her grandson's naughty nature very well, and her face turned red when she heard Qiao Jingru defending him like this.
What heavy schoolwork? He was having so much fun hanging out with his friends that he didn't even want to go home.
I thought he would calm down after getting married, but now it seems he has become even more outrageous.
Before he got married, he would come back to live with her every few days. Now, he hasn’t been seen for ten days or half a month. If you don’t know, you would think he married a tigress.
But to Lu Chao, Qiao Jingru always meddled in his affairs and gave him orders, which annoyed him a lot. Wasn't she more of a headache than a tigress?
"I'm sorry for that. If he has wronged you, tell grandma and she will definitely stand up for you," said the old lady.
Qiao Jingru nodded with emotion: "Granddaughter-in-law knows, thank you grandma."
On the way back, Lu Xiang remained silent as he recalled the brief marriage between Qiao Jingru and Lu Chao in his previous life.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? You looked very serious when you came out from the old lady." Yun Zha asked with concern.
Lu Xiang said: "I'm thinking about how to make my sister-in-law believe that I really want to reconcile with her."
She couldn't tell Yun Zha because she knew that the news of Lu Chao having a mistress would be exposed soon, and Qiao Jingru would make a big fuss when she found out?
That would scare the girl to death.
In this regard, it has to be said that like sons like fathers. If the father has a mistress, the son will also have a mistress. It is true that if they are not from the same family, they will not marry.
Lu Xiang thought of the sadness of his mother who had longed for his father's love all her life but got nothing, and he suddenly hated Lu Youping very much.
Even if he respects his mother, it is sad for a woman to only receive respect from her husband but not love.
Yunzha scratched her head, indicating that this question was a bit difficult for her.
"Miss, I have an interesting story to tell you. I heard that the night before, the master favored Qiuhuan, the maid in Aunt Liu's room, and he went to her room again yesterday."
When Liu was a concubine, she had many people serving her. Qiuhuan was one of them. She later followed Liu back home.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiang showed a hint of shock.
What surprised her was not that her father favored the maidservant beside Liu, but that such a thing happened so long in advance, and the maidservant favored by her father in her previous life did not seem to be called Qiuhuan.
"Father is in his prime, he should have a few caring people around him to serve him." Lu Xiang felt happy when he thought of Liu's expression, who was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood but had to pretend to be virtuous.
As expected, human greed is endless. As far as she knew, before returning to the Lu family, Liu had added several new maids to her and Lu Mingzhu. She wanted to improve her status and thought she could suppress them with the indenture contract, but she didn't expect to raise an ungrateful person.
"I heard that Qiu Huan has just won the master's favor, and she has been relying on her status in the Lotus Courtyard and is very proud of herself. Now she is like this. If she is lucky enough to get pregnant, she will be so proud that she will be out of this world." Yun Zha said: "Doesn't the master favor Concubine Liu? Why does he favor someone else?"
Where is the true love you promised?
Lu Xiang gave Yun Zha a funny look and said, "Father's liking for Aunt Liu doesn't conflict with his favoritism towards others. Otherwise, how do you think the Fifth Miss, the Sixth Miss, and the Seventh Young Master came about?"
In her previous life, when she found out that the maidservant next to Liu had climbed into bed, she gritted her teeth in anger and helped Liu to get rid of her.
But in this life, she would just watch the show from the sidelines, and even add insult to injury if necessary, and she would never help Qiu Huan to deal with Liu.
Qiu Huan's behavior of betraying her master and climbing into bed overlaps with Lu Mingzhu's behavior of betraying her and climbing into Xiao Muheng's bed in her previous life. Lu Xiang hates traitors.
Now Qiu Huan thinks she is in favor and does not know how to restrain herself. If she continues like this, she will only die faster.
