Chapter 43 She Did It On Purpose
Lu Xiang's black hair was tied into a double bun, with a jeweled hairpin with curled wings and kingfisher feathers in her hair, making her look more pretty and lively.
She walked to the side of Lu Mingzhu and gave Qin Shuyan a half-bow, not being either coquettish or irritable, but rather gentle and elegant. In fact, Lu Xiang did not need to bow to Qin Shuyan, but she gave Qin Shuyan enough face by doing so.
Qin Shuyan didn't move and looked at her arrogantly.
But because of this, Qin Shuyan could no longer vent her anger on Lu Xiang, otherwise she would be criticized for being rude and ignorant of the rules.
"Miss Qin, we meet again." Lu Xiang said softly, with a smile on her lips like a lotus blooming in the lake, beautiful and elegant: "It's all a misunderstanding. I apologize to you on behalf of my sister. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with her."
Qin Shuyan had no grudge against Lu Xiang to begin with, and seeing that she was still so sensible this time, her expression immediately improved.
"You are much more pleasing to the eye than her." Qin Shuyan said with a smile: "By the way, what is your name?"
"Lu Xiang!"
Lu Mingzhu looked at Qin Shuyan's attitude towards Lu Xiang, which was completely different from how she treated herself, and she almost bit her teeth off in hatred.
At this moment, Mrs. Qin's light rebuke sounded outside the door: "Yan'er, don't be rude."
Qin Shuyan immediately turned around awkwardly, looked at the angry Madam Qin, and shouted guiltily: "Mom!"
She called softly, her well-behaved appearance was completely different from her arrogant look just now.
Mrs. Qin glared at her daughter gently and said, "A guest is a guest. How can you be so rude as the host? Have you forgotten the rules? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Her voice was not loud, but steady and powerful, and was clearly heard by everyone.
A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on everyone's face.
Mrs. Qin openly reprimanded Qin Shu for not knowing the rules, but in fact she was secretly warning everyone present that no matter how arrogant her daughter was, she would not allow others to judge her behind her back. Lu Xiang looked at Mrs. Qin's actions, with a dignified smile on her face.
Qiao Jingru snorted with some disdain and whispered to Lu Xiang: "Mrs. Qin is so arrogant. Do you really want to blame her for not showing up earlier? I think she did it on purpose."
"The Qin family has a higher background than the Lu family. Governor Qin may not be willing to be humble to my father, otherwise he would not have condoned Qin Shuyan's attack on Lu Mingzhu." Lu Xiang replied in a low voice.
When beating a dog, one has to consider the owner's face. Qin Shuyan had a conflict with Lu Mingzhu in Hua'an Temple. It was impossible not to investigate afterwards. Even if they were disdainful, Governor Qin and Madam Qin would know what happened in Hua'an Temple. But they did not warn Qin Shuyan to keep a low profile, which shows that they did not take the Lu family seriously in their hearts.
Today's politeness is just a superficial maintenance.
Then, Madam Qin turned to look at Lu Mingzhu and said with a smile, "Yan'er is my only daughter. I have spoiled her since she was a child, so I have spoiled her to the point of lawlessness. Miss Fourth, please don't take it to heart. If she does anything wrong, I, as a mother, will apologize to you."
Lu Mingzhu looked flattered and quickly shook her hand, saying, "Madam, you are too kind. I had some misunderstandings with Miss Qin before, which made Miss Qin unhappy. Fortunately, Miss Qin did not mind it."
But I was so angry that I wanted to vomit blood.
What a bullshit misunderstanding. Qin Shuyan is bullying others by taking advantage of her power. She will get revenge for this sooner or later.
Mrs. Qin said so. If Lu Mingzhu didn't go down the stairs, she would be immature.
If Lu Mingzhu offended Madam Qin today, she felt that she might not be able to leave the Qin Mansion today.
Mrs. Qin smiled slightly: "Good child, you are much more sensible than our Yan'er."
Lu Mingzhu looked at Madam Qin with fear and trepidation.
"Go and get a set of pearl jewelry from my room for Miss Lu Si." Mrs. Qin ordered again.
Lu Xiang chuckled. Mrs. Qin's method of giving a sweet reward after a blow really worked. She appeased Lu Mingzhu into cleaning up her daughter's mess, but she gained a reputation as a virtuous and generous woman, and no one could find fault with her.
No matter how wrong Miss Qin was, Mrs. Qin gave Lu Mingzhu face. Can you say that she is not good?
Lu Mingzhu was furious at first, but when she heard that Madam Qin was going to give her a whole set of pearl jewelry, her resentment immediately dissipated a lot. She smiled humbly and saluted Madam Qin: "Mingzhu thanks Madam."
Although Qin Shuyan knew Mrs. Qin's intention, she couldn't swallow being scolded in front of so many people, so she pushed all the faults onto Lu Mingzhu.
Looking at those eyes flashing with hatred, Lu Xiang sneered in his heart.
The truth is really unpredictable. After coming to Beijing in the previous life, the Qin family became prosperous. Lu Mingzhu used her connections to please Qin Shuyan in every way possible, and finally caught Qin Shuyan's eye and became her close friend.
But what about now?
The two of them are simply mortal enemies.
Lu Xiang sneered in her heart. This only cut off one of Lu Mingzhu's connections. Sooner or later, she would make sure that Lu Mingzhu would never be able to cause any trouble again.
Soon, the maid beside Madam Qin came into the flower hall holding a makeup box. Lu Mingzhu took the box, her face showing uncontrollable joy.
The banquet at the Qin Mansion was held in the main hall of the front yard, with a screen depicting frolicking horses separating the male and female seats. Led by Mrs. Qin, everyone went to the front yard together. The young ladies could go and see the young masters openly, and they were so excited that their breathing became rapid.
Just as they arrived at the front yard, before Mrs. Qin introduced everyone to each other, she suddenly saw Governor Qin walking out with big strides.
"What's wrong with the master?" Mrs. Qin asked in surprise.
The master has always been calm and steady, and usually wouldn't show such a frightened look.
In response to her, the servants looked even more puzzled.
Even the master doesn’t know, let alone them.
However, Governor Qin came back soon and resolved Mrs. Qin's doubts. He was seen walking over with a handsome young man, looking very happy.
Many people were stunned when they saw the man's appearance. The young man was extremely young, with a jade crown on his hair and a black brocade robe on his clothes. The collar and waist were embroidered with intricate white algae patterns, which looked very exquisite.
The handsome face carved from beautiful jade seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, yet it was extremely charming. His eyes seemed to contain the vastness, coldness and aloofness of stars, and his demeanor was so shocking that it could paralyze one's heart.
Governor Qin's cautious look made people speculate about the man's identity.
Qin Shuyan's heart was beating like thunder, her cheeks were burning, and she even found it difficult to breathe.
There are many people who share the same obsession as her.
When Lu Xiang saw the person coming, he couldn't help but shudder all over. It was strange. Wasn't Chu Jinyan a mortal enemy of the person behind Governor Qin in his previous life?
What was Chu Jinyan doing here? Going deep into the enemy’s belly to spy on the enemy’s situation?
Does His Highness need to do such a small matter personally?
