Chapter 345 The Fight Begins
"Since it is the Third Imperial Concubine's invitation, there is no reason to refuse. Besides, you are not young anymore. You should go out more often and make more friends with young ladies from aristocratic families. It will also be good for you."
If in time, the Eighth Prince really fulfilled his promise to marry Xiangxiang as his concubine, then she would need her own connections even more.
No matter how you look at it, you should go.
"I understand, grandma." Lu Xiang nodded and responded.
The Lotus Feast was three days later. The old lady said, "It just so happens that the new batch of summer clothes I made for you will be delivered tomorrow. Unfortunately, they are all rather plain and not outstanding enough."
Since you want to gain a foothold in the circle of noble ladies in the capital, no one will notice you if you are too low-key.
Lu Xiang looked at the old lady with a smile on his face: "Grandma, I just made summer clothes last month."
The old lady said nonchalantly, "That's different. Your birthday is coming up in a few days, which also means you'll be coming of age. Naturally, you need to make a few more new clothes."
She had made the dress according to her granddaughter's preferences, but when she thought about attending the banquet at the Third Prince's Mansion, it was not exquisite and gorgeous enough.
But there was no time to redo it.
The old lady frowned in worry.
Seeing this, Lu Xiang hurriedly said, "Grandma, I will wear the same clothes as usual when I go to the banquet. It would be ostentatious if it offends others."
The old lady looked at the bright and beautiful face in front of her and felt that what Lu Xiang said made sense.
She is already extremely beautiful, and if she dresses up more extravagantly, it would seem that she would steal the limelight. Otherwise, she would not be able to make friends with noble ladies, but instead would arouse the envy of others.
"Okay, you know your limits, and grandma won't worry." The old lady reached out and touched Lu Xiang's white and tender face, saying, "But there's no need to deliberately make yourself look ugly."
Lu Xiang nodded obediently.
The next day, Hong Yin brought Lu Xiang's new clothes, six sets in total, and each set of clothes was made of gold or silver thread.
"Do so much?" Lu Xiang was shocked.
Hong Yin smiled and said, "The old lady ordered me to do this. She also ordered Mother Wen to give me five hundred taels of silver and let me use whatever is convenient for me."
"Have you made grandma's clothes?" Lu Xiang asked.
"Don't worry, Miss. No matter who is left behind, the old lady will not be left behind."
"good."
At this time, Wu Yue hurried into the room and said, "Miss, the fourth young lady has returned home and had an argument with the sixth young lady."
"Go and take a look." Upon hearing this, Lu Xiang quickly stood up.
Lu Mingzhu has come back to settle accounts with Lu Qiao.
There were quite a few people outside Haitang Courtyard, listening to the quarrel in the house and looking at each other.
Lu Mingzhu pointed at Lu Qiao and angrily cursed: "Bitch, I've been so sincere to you, and you actually hurt me."
"Fourth sister is eager to be someone's concubine. Who is more despicable?" Lu Qiao stared at Lu Mingzhu with a cold expression.
"You're so rebellious. How dare you scold me?" Seeing Lu Qiao humiliating her like this, Lu Mingzhu felt a rush of blood to her head. She raised her hand and slapped Lu Qiao in the face.
Lu Qiao had been on guard against Lu Mingzhu, and her eyes flashed quickly to the side.
Qiu Ying never thought that her master would hide. When she saw Lu Mingzhu raise her hand, she reflexively blocked Lu Qiao.
Snap——
There was a crisp sound of applause.
Lu Qiao was stunned at first, then she was furious. She pulled Qiu Ying behind her and slapped Lu Mingzhu without saying a word: "You are so presumptuous in my yard. Lu Mingzhu, you take yourself too seriously."
Lu Mingzhu didn't have time to dodge, and no one blocked the slap for her, so she got slapped hard.
Although Lu Qiaoren was small, she was very strong. She slapped Lu Mingzhu so hard that she staggered.
Lu Mingzhu was stunned.
After coming to his senses, he looked at Lu Qiao with eyes that seemed to want to kill her.
"You dare to hit me."
Lu Qiao was so angry at Lu Mingzhu's shameless words that she sneered.
"Who are you? Why shouldn't I fight you?"
So it's right for you to hit someone, but it's wrong for her to hit back. What a brain.
She still thinks of herself as her father's beloved child, so she wants to see whether her father will come to make the decision for Lu Mingzhu after finding out about what happened today.
Lu Qiao's contempt and disdain suddenly turned into a cat whose tail was stepped on. He suddenly pounced on Lu Qiao: "Little bitch, I'm going to fight you."
Qiu Ying was protecting her master and was grabbed by Lu Mingzhu's hair. Lu Qiao immediately grabbed Lu Mingzhu's hair.
Lu Mingzhu grimaced in pain and angrily said to Huamei and Lan Qiu, "Why don't you help me?"
The two men hurried forward to pull Lu Qiao away.
The maids in Haitang Courtyard were furious to see their master being pulled by a servant, so they rolled up their sleeves and went up to beat Huamei and Lanqiu. After one person joined the fight, the others followed one after another.
Huamei and Lanqiu were no match for so many people. They screamed and called for the maids they brought with them to help.
For a moment, Haitang Courtyard was filled with screams and chaos.
When Lu Xiang arrived, Lu Qiao was pulling Lu Mingzhu's hair, and Lu Mingzhu had her hands around Lu Qiao's neck. The little girl's face turned ashen and she seemed to be unable to breathe.
"Quick, pull them apart." Lu Xiang said to Ah Man.
Ah Man ran over quickly and pulled them away one by one.
As he passed by the fighting maids, he kicked Huamei and Lanqiu once each and kicked them out.
Lu Mingzhu's hair was a mess, one side of her face was swollen, one of her eyes looked like it had been punched and was blue and purple, the corner of her mouth was cut, her clothes were dirty, and she looked so miserable that she could have gone out to beg if she was given a broken bowl.
In comparison, Lu Qiao looks much cleaner.
Her hair was messy, but apart from the blood at the corner of her mouth, she had no other injuries. However, her fair neck was red from being strangled by Lu Mingzhu. At this moment, she was holding onto Ah Man's arm and gasping for breath.
Just now, she really had difficulty breathing for a moment.
The maids of the two men were not in a better condition either. They all had bruises on their faces and noses, showing that they had shown no mercy at all. It looked like a large-scale disaster scene.
Lu Xiang walked to Lu Qiao's side and asked, "Do you want to see a doctor?"
Lu Qiao touched her neck and shook her head: "Third sister, I'm fine." While speaking, she stared at Lu Mingzhu with flaming eyes, wishing she could burn her to ashes.
When Lu Mingzhu saw the two of them being so harmonious, she was so angry that she was fuming.
Not long ago, the bitch Lu Qiao accused Lu Xiang of being cruel in front of her and cried about how difficult her life was in the mansion.
It’s fake, all fake.
"You have joined forces to harm me." Lu Mingzhu was so angry that her chest heaved violently, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with poison.
Lu Xiang looked at Lu Mingzhu coldly: "I have hurt you so many times, what can you do to me? You come to the Lu family to beat people up, Lu Mingzhu, you don't take yourself seriously enough."
The maids in Haitang Courtyard: "..."
Mom, are they willing to listen to what the Third Miss said?
"You admitted it, you admitted that you harmed me. I'm going to tell father and have him punish you severely." Lu Mingzhu roared in a sharp voice.
