Chapter 36: Reading Too Much Is Tired
The old lady turned her eyes away indifferently, ignoring Qiu Huan's crying face. The doll was found in her room, so how could she say she was innocent? Witchcraft has been strictly prohibited since ancient times. If Qiu Huan is not severely punished today, the news will get out that the lives of everyone in the Lu family will be in danger.
Lu Mingzhu rushed to Qiu Ling, bit her lip and suppressed her anger as she said to Qiu Huan: "Qiu Huan, Auntie has never treated you badly. Even though you betrayed her, she still gave you good food and drink, and even sent maids to serve you. Why do you want to curse her? Do you think that if she dies, you can have your father all to yourself?"
Her angry roar was like a muffled thunder that struck everyone's heart. Upon hearing her words, everyone immediately cast blaming glances at Qiu Huan.
Isn't it so? Even though Qiuhuan selfishly climbed into the master's bed, Aunt Liu was not angry and treated her very well. Even though the master had not given her a title and was just a maid, he still treated her like half a master and even picked a maid from his side for her to serve.
I didn't expect Qiu Huan to repay kindness with enmity, and her methods were so vicious.
In an instant, everyone's gaze shot towards Qiu Huan like sharp swords, piercing her to pieces.
Qiuhuan knelt on the ground, looking at the condemning and blaming eyes of the crowd in fear. Her whole body felt like it was pressed into ice-cold snow water, and she was so cold that she was suffocating.
"I didn't do that, Fourth Miss. I am innocent." Qiu Huan turned to the old lady again while crying and begged for mercy: "Old lady, please have mercy. I really didn't harm Aunt Liu. Please, old lady, I hope you can see clearly."
The old woman waved her hand away, showing no sympathy for Qiuhuan's crying.
Lu Xiang looked at Qiu Huan expressionlessly, his heart calm.
Since Qiu Huan chose to betray the Liu family, she must be prepared to bear the consequences!
If she hadn't been ambitious and vain, she wouldn't have climbed into her father's bed so quickly, and she wouldn't have been schemed against by Liu.
"Bitch, the evidence is solid, you have no right to quibble." Lu Youping was so angry that he kicked her hard.
She even had the nerve to cry out for justice after finding out the things that were found in her room and asked him to investigate.
He was attracted by Qiuhuan's youth and beauty, and she took the initiative to seduce him, so he lost control for a moment. But how could he allow this bitch to harm He'er? She was simply courting death.
"Someone come here, beat that bitch Qiuhuan to death with a stick." Lu Youping waved his long arm and roared.
He actually dared to do such a vicious thing, he deserves to be put to death.
His handsome and mature face was full of gloom, and he showed undisguised hatred for Qiu Huan because his beloved woman was hurt.
Lu Xiang looked at the angry Lu Youping and was dazed for a moment.
If her mother were still alive and encountered what happened today, what decision would her father make?
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Lu Xiang quickly shook his head, thinking that this assumption was not acceptable.
Qiuhuan's shrill cries echoed throughout the Heyuan.
…
The next day, Liu said that her headache and body pains had gone away and she could get out of bed and walk around. After a few more days, even the red spots on her body disappeared.
Now, everyone was even more certain that it was Qiuhuan's curse that caused Liu to be ill for so long.
This move of Liu not only got rid of Qiuhuan, the maid who betrayed her master and climbed into the master's bed, but also allowed her reputation as a dignified and graceful girl to remain in Lu Youping's heart.
In the northwest corner of the Lu Mansion, there is a small artificial pond with sparkling water. Clusters of lotus leaves are reflected in each other and flutter in the wind. If it weren't for the weeds growing around the pond, this would undoubtedly be a good place to enjoy the scenery.
But Lu Xiang didn't mind. The less people came to a place, the quieter it was, and she liked it.
After coming out of Fuyuan Hall, she wandered around the mansion aimlessly, going wherever was secluded, and unknowingly came here.
She asked Yunzha to bring fish food. She squatted by the pond, grabbed a handful of fish food and sprinkled it into the pond, attracting several small fish to happily wag their tails to fight for it. Several turtles lay on the mud, stretching their heads to try the delicious food.
"Miss, the old lady wants to invite Master Shao for you, why do you refuse?" Wu Yue looked at Lu Xiang's profile and asked.
Just now in Fuyuan Hall, the old lady brought up this matter, but the young lady flatly refused.
Master Shao is a famous female teacher in Lincheng. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Her outstanding talent makes her a famous teacher that many big families compete for. The old lady finally found out that she is free recently and wants to ask her to teach Lu Xiang. Even if it is only for a few months, it will be better than others for several years.
Lu Xiang pursed his lips, chuckled and said, "Master Shao is arrogant. I can't bear to see my grandmother beg for help. I will learn as much as I can without forcing anyone."
In her previous life, the old lady spent countless efforts to invite Master Shao for her. Master Shao was indeed capable, and she learned a lot from her, but this person was arrogant and took himself too seriously, and his personality was not likable.
What's more, she was reborn, and everything she had learned in her previous life was deeply engraved in her mind, so she didn't need to learn from Master Shao again.
She has a strong memory and can remember many things at a glance, so she learns quickly. She boasted of her intelligence and helped Xiao Muheng climb up step by step, but in the end she was only used and betrayed.
To live her life over again, what she needs is scheming, calculation and ruthlessness.
Wu Yue nodded, not quite understanding.
It's strange. Wasn't she very fond of reading before? Why did she turn down such a good opportunity now?
Aunt Liu asked the master to invite Master Shao for the fourth young lady, but the master seemed unwilling to lower his status to ask for help, so Aunt Liu could not carry out this idea.
Lu Xiang felt Wu Yue's gaze, glanced sideways, and said, "Why do you look so bitter and resentful?"
Wu Yue was embarrassed when she heard this, and said, "The master invited the famous Bai Niangzi from Yangning City to the fourth young lady. Aunt Liu is trying to train her into a talented woman. I am afraid that the fourth young lady's fame will overshadow yours in the future. Even Aunt Fang and Aunt Lin are not to be outdone and asked the master to let the fifth and sixth young ladies learn from her."
Lu Xiang scattered a handful of food and looked quietly at the turtle that was crawling gruntingly, feeling unusually calm.
"It's their business to be competitive. Reading too much is tiring. I can eat, drink and sleep well now."
Wu Yue looked at the beautiful smile on Lu Xiang's lips and couldn't help but be infatuated.
"Miss, that's right." After a while, Wu Yue nodded in response.
As long as the lady is happy.
After that, both of them stopped talking and enjoyed this brief peace.
But it wasn't long before this peace was broken.
The sobbing sound came intermittently, and Lu Xiang couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.
"Miss, let me go and see who is crying?" Wu Yue said when she saw Lu Xiang looking around.
Lu Xiang nodded, and Wu Yue put down what he was holding and walked towards the place where the sound came from.
Soon, Wu Yue came over with a maid.
The maid knelt down and saluted: "This servant greets the Third Miss. Please forgive me. This servant did not mean to disturb the Third Miss."
