Chapter 337: Not Easy to Fooled
In terms of appearance, Liu Anyao is not as good as Lu Mingzhu, but in terms of temperament, Lu Mingzhu can never catch up with Liu Anyao, a daughter of a wealthy family who has been pampered and carefully cultivated by her family since childhood.
“Mrs. Xiao, An!”
Lu Qiao bowed and half-bowed towards Liu Anyao.
Liu Anyao smiled and raised her hand: "This is the sixth sister of the Lu family. I have been to the mansion so many times, but this is the first time I see you. This is your fourth sister's home, just treat it as your own home, don't be restrained."
When Lu Qiao saw the smile on Liu Anyao's face, she couldn't help but shudder in her heart.
If I didn't know Liu Anyao's true nature, I would have thought she was a gentle and kind person.
"Thank you, ma'am." Lu Qiao bowed her head obediently to express her gratitude.
The little girl had an innocent yet flattered look on her face, and she looked gullible and innocent.
It’s almost as if the words “I’m very useful” were engraved on his forehead.
Liu Anyao said to Shuhua, "Go, bring my silk-wrapped red gold diamond-shaped headpiece inlaid with pearls to give to Sixth Sister."
Shuhua Fushen responded, "Yes, ma'am."
Lu Qiao looked at Liu Anyao in fear: "Madam, I cannot accept such a valuable gift without merit."
But I couldn’t help but complain in my heart: Who is your sixth sister?
Now he is smiling at her so attentively, but I wonder if he is planning how to sell her out in his heart.
"I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. Why do you need any credit? It's just a disguise. It's not that valuable." Liu Anyao said with a smile.
What an arrogant tone.
Lu Qiao felt secretly jealous.
It's a pity that the Lu family is not wealthy. If it were me, I would not be willing to give a complete set of headgear as a gift to someone I just met.
Well, getting a set of headgear for free, this is a good deal, right?
I don’t know if my third sister will help her throw it away when she finds out.
As I was thinking about it, I saw Shuhua coming in holding a rectangular makeup box.
She walked up to Lu Qiao, opened the lid, and revealed the exquisite and luxurious jewelry inside.
What was not valuable to Liu Anyao was a treasure in Lu Qiao's eyes. There was no piece of jewelry in her house more exquisite than this.
When Lu Mingzhu saw the headgear, greed flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel jealous. Didn't Liu Anyao live in peace with her? Why didn't she think of giving her something good?
It was just the first time I met Lu Qiao, and she got such a big gift right away. She was so angry.
Liu Anyao looked at Lu Qiao's greedy look, who obviously liked the item but was too embarrassed to accept it, and sneered in her heart. She was indeed a concubine's daughter from a poor family, with a petty air.
However, the smile on his face became more gentle: "As soon as I saw my sister, I felt that this headdress suits you. Look, don't you think it suits you?"
"Madam has a unique vision, and it is indeed a good match for Miss Lu Liu." Shuhua agreed with a smile.
Liu Anyao: "Sixth sister, please accept it quickly. If you don't accept it, do you think it's a gift I gave you?"
Lu Mingzhu almost got so angry that she collapsed into a ball. Seeing that Lu Qiao refused to accept it, she wanted to jump up and accept it for her.
Lu Qiao looked at Liu Anyao flattered, with infinite joy in her eyes, but she pretended to be calm: "No, I like it very much... Thank you, ma'am."
As she spoke, she carefully took the box from Shuhua's hands.
After sitting in the main courtyard for half an hour, Lu Mingzhu took Lu Qiao away.
Liu Anyao winked at Shuhua and said, "Go, get someone to keep an eye on them."
"Yes." Shuhua replied.
Lu Qiao came to the Xiao Mansion before. Although she did not come to pay a visit to the Madam, the news in the mansion could not escape the Madam's ears. Every time the sixth young lady of the Lu family came, the Madam would order people to keep an eye on them secretly.
Aunt Lu cannot be trusted. Who knows if she will do something to trip up the lady behind her back?
But as of now, there is nothing unusual about her.
It seems that he really wants to join forces with the lady to get rid of the third lady of the Lu family.
But even so, we cannot let our guard down against Aunt Lu.
The entire Xiao Mansion is under the management of Liu Anyao. It is very easy to place one's own people around Liu Anyao. After all, anyone who is not stupid knows who to support in the mansion.
So as long as Shuhua gave an order, many people would come to show their loyalty to the lady.
Lu Mingzhu took Lu Qiao back to her own courtyard. As soon as they sat down, Lu Mingzhu looked at Lu Qiao and said, "Sixth sister, the headgear given by the Madam is so expensive. If you take it back home, I'm afraid that others will be jealous. Why don't you leave it with me first? I will keep it for you. When you get married, I will add it to your dowry."
It sounds nice to say that it is for temporary safekeeping, but who knows if this thing will still be there in a few years.
Even if it was still there, she must have worn it first during the years when it was kept by Lu Mingzhu.
This is just like blatant robbery, the only thing missing is a fig leaf.
"Fourth sister, do you like it too?" Lu Qiao asked, looking up at her little face.
That straightforward look, almost like asking directly "Fourth sister, do you want to trick it away from me and keep it for yourself", made Lu Mingzhu feel a little uneasy.
"Hey...what nonsense are you talking about? I've seen all kinds of good things, why would I want your headgear? Fourth sister is really thinking about you, if you get robbed when you return home, don't come to me crying." Lu Mingzhu smiled embarrassedly.
What does this damn girl mean?
She is her biological sister, so she can take advantage of her.
Lu Mingzhu would never admit that she thought Lu Qiao was young and easy to deceive, and wanted to trick the headgear from her.
The little girl is young, but because of her young age, she speaks too bluntly and cannot read people's expressions at all.
Lu Qiao hugged the box tightly and smiled sweetly, "Don't worry, Fourth Sister. I won't let anyone take it away."
The fourth sister's words almost pointed out that the third sister would steal her things.
Humph, does everyone think that they are as short-sighted as her? Third sister would never do such a shameful thing.
She wouldn't keep it for herself, at most she would throw it away.
Lu Mingzhu secretly rolled her eyes and pulled the corners of her mouth with a fake smile: "Haha, that's good."
So annoying!
It's too hard to fool.
"Did fourth brother-in-law also give fourth sister a lot of precious things? Can you take them out and let my younger sister broaden her horizons?" Lu Qiao suddenly said.
Didn’t you say that you’ve seen so many good things that you don’t want this set of headgear?
Then I'd like to see what good stuff you can come up with.
The corner of Lu Mingzhu's mouth twitched fiercely. Lu Qiao's unintentional words were like a slap in the face, burning with pain.
Can she say that there is nothing in her makeup box that compares to what Liu Anyao gave her?
Is Lu Qiao deliberately slapping her in the face?
Can we still have a good chat?
"Girl, when did you become so greedy for money?" Lu Mingzhu said in an intimate and joking tone, and quickly changed the subject: "Last time you said that the Qiao family sent a divorce letter to your eldest brother, but he didn't want to divorce. How is he doing now?"
Lu Qiao curled her lips speechlessly. Who is the one who loves money?
This is such an abrupt change of subject.
