Chapter 338 I didn’t even know I was sold
"Oh, I don't know either. I haven't heard that my brother is doing anything unusual recently." Lu Qiao said casually, playing with the handkerchief in her hand.
I know but I won’t tell you.
Lu Mingzhu did not doubt him and continued to ask, "Are grandma and father okay?"
Lu Qiao: "Very good."
"Where's the third sister? Did she give you any trouble?"
Lu Qiao picked up the teacup, lowered her head and took a sip, hiding the sneer in her eyes. After asking so many people, what she wanted to know most was her third sister's every move.
"It's not too difficult, but you know, Fourth Sister, my aunt went to the North Courtyard and was confined. The servants always judge people by their appearance. Seeing that I don't have any backing in the mansion, it's better not to go."
Lu Qiao sighed softly, her young face showing a hint of "life is not easy for me".
Lu Mingzhu thought to herself that if your life is good, that would be a good thing for me.
She tried to show a sympathetic look on her face, took Lu Qiao's hand and patted it gently, saying, "It's really difficult for you. Third sister has the support of the Queen, and even father thinks highly of her. Although Aunt Lin did something wrong, she is still the elder after all. She actually disregarded Aunt Lin's face and put her under house arrest. Sigh..."
Lu Mingzhu looked as if she was standing up for Lu Qiao.
"In the final analysis, Third Sister is too young. It's inevitable that she is a little proud when she is in charge of the household at such a young age. She will eliminate anyone she doesn't like one by one. Now it's Aunt Lin, who knows if the next one will be you."
Lu Mingzhu glanced at Lu Qiao and said again.
"Ah, no way?" Lu Qiao stared at Lu Mingzhu with a pair of big eyes that were clearly black and white, revealing an expression of disbelief: "We are sisters."
Lu Mingzhu sneered: "Oh, Sixth Sister, you are so naive because you are young after all. If she really cares about the sisterly love, how could she not show mercy to Aunt Lin."
Lu Qiao seemed to be digesting Lu Mingzhu's words. She opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word.
Seeing this, Lu Mingzhu said no more, hiding the smugness in her eyes, and said soothingly: "Think about it carefully, don't let yourself be sold out without knowing it."
Lu Qiao blinked.
Lu Mingzhu twitched her lips speechlessly. Why does this guy look a little stupid?
She seemed quite smart when she was at the Lu family.
I don’t know if it can be used?
"Huamei, cut a plate of the honeydew melon that my husband sent." Lu Mingzhu stopped talking and turned to instruct Huamei.
Huamei went away immediately.
Soon, she brought the melon over.
Lu Mingzhu took a stick and stuck one in her mouth, then handed it to Lu Qiao with a smile: "This is a tribute from the palace. Your fourth brother-in-law only got a few. Ordinary people can't eat such good things."
This boastful tone made Lu Qiao roll her eyes secretly.
The fourth sister probably doesn’t know that the Queen Mother sent a large basket to the third sister, who put it in the ice cellar so that she could eat one every day.
But for Fourth Sister, it has become a rare delicacy that she cannot afford.
It is really rare, but how can you pretend to be a kind sister while secretly despising her?
You really take her for a fool.
Lu Qiao complained in her heart but showed no sign of abnormality on her face. Under Lu Mingzhu's smug gaze, she started to eat the food piece by piece. Finally, she brought the plate in front of her and ate as if no one was around.
It would be a waste not to eat the best honeydew melon.
Lu Mingzhu just stared blankly at Lu Qiao finishing a whole plate of honeydew melon by herself, her heart bleeding with pain.
She just got this one!!!
Before I could even taste anything, it all went into Lu Qiao's stomach. Doesn't this girl have any sense of shame? She didn't even leave any for her master?
Lu Mingzhu was both angry and confused, and her face couldn't help but darken.
Lu Qiao finished a plate of honeydew melon, looked up at Lu Mingzhu, and asked as if she didn't see Lu Mingzhu's ugly face, "Fourth sister, is there any more? I want to eat more."
Haha, after eating just this one melon of yours, you’re almost unable to pretend anymore.
You're so stingy, and you still want to win her over?
At least you can be more generous.
She could eat the honeydew melons that her third sister put in the ice cellar as she pleased.
Not only honeydew melons, but also the Western Region grapes that the Queen sent to the third sister. The grapes had thin skin, thick flesh, and were seedless. The third sister generously let her eat them.
Unfortunately, there weren't many, so she only ate one string.
When Lu Mingzhu heard Lu Qiao's shameless request, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
You actually have the nerve to ask for it?
"Hehe...hehe...sixth sister, such rare fruits are extremely precious. Do you think they are something that is sold everywhere? Fourth sister couldn't bear to eat them and left them all for you."
Lu Mingzhu smiled dryly, and the resentment in her eyes could hardly be hidden.
He clearly didn't have the time to eat it, but he still pretended to be generous.
"Okay." Lu Qiao nodded, with a considerate expression that said "If you don't have it, I won't force you." This made Lu Mingzhu grit her teeth and feel a headache.
Lu Mingzhu raised her hand and rubbed her temples, constantly reminding herself in her heart to hold it in, to really hold it in.
"Are you feeling unwell, Fourth Sister?" Lu Qiao asked.
Lu Mingzhu responded sullenly. Right now, she really didn't want to see Lu Qiao's face at all.
"Maybe it's because of the hot weather, so I feel a little uncomfortable." Angrily: "It's still early for lunch, Sixth Sister, why don't you go for a walk in the garden."
Lu Qiao turned her head to look at the sun outside, feeling resistance.
The sun was so bright, she didn't really want to go out.
But before she could refuse, Lu Mingzhu said to Huamei, "Ask someone to accompany Miss Six to the garden and serve her carefully."
Thrush: “Yes.”
"Miss Six, please." Huamei walked up to Lu Qiao and said with a smile.
"Fourth sister, I will put the things that the madam sent here for now. Please ask someone to keep an eye on them for me, so that they don't get lost or damaged." Lu Qiao said as she stood up and walked out with Huamei.
Huamei stood in the yard, about to call a maid to follow her.
Lu Qiao interrupted her: "Sister Huamei, there's no need to call anyone. I'll be back soon after taking a walk. Qiuying will be there to accompany me."
Huamei hesitated for a moment, but did not insist: "Yes."
After Lu Qiao left, Lan Qiu started to complain.
"Aunt, Sixth Miss is too much. You treat her as your younger sister and leave good things for her, but she only cares about herself and doesn't treat you as her sister at all."
Lu Mingzhu's eyes darkened: "If I didn't think she was still useful, I would have kicked her out long ago."
"You actually have the nerve to ask for more. How shameless! The young master gave me this honeydew melon, but I couldn't bear to eat a single bite." Lan Qiu said indignantly.
Lu Mingzhu was so angry that her intestines were almost tied into knots when she thought about not being able to taste such a good tribute.
This honeydew melon was sent by Xiang Tianliu yesterday. He gave one to her as soon as he received it. This was not only because the tribute was precious, but also because it showed that he loved her.
Lu Mingzhu really couldn't bear to eat it.
