Chapter 49 What a sin
"Dad, if Xiao's plan fails, he will definitely come up with other ideas. You must never listen to anything he says again."
Lu Youping looked at his daughter, who had always been reckless, with surprise and gave her a gratified smile: "Yuer, you did a good job this time. It surprised me." She knew how to protect her sister's reputation and did not act impulsively for Xiao Muheng.
Lu Yue almost fainted from excitement at this praise.
This was the first time in her life that she had received such direct praise from her father. Her decision was indeed right.
"Go back and tell Aunt Fang that you and your daughter can keep the gold, silver and jewelry that Xiao Muheng sent, but I will take the silver and banknotes he gave to you, Aunt."
Lu Yue's joyful smile suddenly disappeared on her face like dried dog shit, and then cracked into pieces.
It’s a loss, a big loss!
At this time, Manager Du knocked on the door and said, "Master, the old lady wants you to come over."
"I understand." Lu Youping frowned, knowing that it was because of Lu Mingzhu.
Waving his hand to tell Lu Yue to go back, Lu Youping walked towards the old lady's Fuyuan Hall in annoyance. Even though she was his favorite daughter, he gradually felt a little dissatisfied when he heard that she had a private relationship with Xiao Muheng and made a fool of herself at someone else's banquet.
Lu Yue returned to Lanyuan in a daze, and Aunt Fang immediately pulled her into the house excitedly.
"Yuer, I heard that Lu Mingzhu made a big fool of herself at the Qin Mansion banquet. Tell me what happened quickly." Oh, without even looking at her, she could imagine Liu's distorted and collapsed expression.
Lu Yue looked up with a look of grief on her face, which made Aunt Fang stunned for a moment: "What's wrong?"
"Aunt, Dad asked you to give Xiao Muheng the banknote he sent."
"What?"
Aunt Fang suddenly jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and her scream almost broke Lu Yue's eardrum.
Lu Yue covered her ears and quickly took a few steps away from Aunt Fang.
"You stupid girl, what did you say to your father?" What kind of debt collector did she give birth to? She was so mad at him.
When Aunt Fang thought about having to hand over the silver bills that were not even warm yet, it was like a piece of her flesh was being cut out and the pain made her bleed. Not even Lu Mingzhu and the unfortunate Liu who were so angry that they vomited blood could soothe her inner pain.
"Auntie, don't be angry first, listen to me..."
Aunt Fang glared at her fiercely. If she wasn't her own daughter, she would have wanted to jump up and strangle her to death.
Lu Yue shrank her neck and quickly told her aunt everything before she got angry.
"Mom, at least my father left us those gold, silver and jewelry."
Lu Yue's words not only failed to comfort Aunt Fang's wounded heart, but made her so angry that she lay on the table and pounded the table with her fists clenched: "What a sin! Who told you to act on your own? I'm so angry."
Gold, silver and jewelry are good, but what about all those banknotes... just gone, gone...
"Aunt, father just praised me. It's obvious that what I did today won his heart. I am well-behaved and sensible, but Lu Mingzhu is shameless. With this comparison, father will see my advantages. Maybe I can replace Lu Mingzhu and become father's favorite daughter. Besides, Xiao Muheng is obviously playing tricks on us. If I don't report it to father, will he really wait until he becomes the son-in-law that father likes and then turn against us? That's not worth the loss."
Aunt Fang suddenly fell silent: "You...what you said makes sense."
Seeing her aunt compromise, Lu Yue was even more proud.
"However, the fact that Lu Mingzhu and Xiao Muheng were having an affair was seen by so many people. The only way to protect her reputation is to let them get married. After all the twists and turns, Xiao Muheng finally became the son-in-law of the Lu family. What should we do then?" After a pause, Aunt Fang continued.
Lu Yue didn't care: "Why should I be afraid of a son-in-law of the Lu family who is disliked by his father?" When she becomes her father's most beloved daughter, will she still worry that her father will not give her good things?
Well, she has a longer-term vision.

Lu Mingzhu knelt in front of the old lady, surrounded by teacup fragments and with a red and swollen spot on her forehead, probably caused by the old lady smashing her forehead with the cup.
Liu was also kneeling, holding the trembling Lu Mingzhu in her arms. There were crystal tears in her charming eyes, and she looked even more pitiful.
As soon as Lu Youping entered the room, Liu seemed to have found her backbone, and her eyes fell on him eagerly and pleadingly. Lu Youping just glanced at Liu with a complicated expression, both distressed and irritated.
"Mother."
The old lady was sitting back in the mahogany armchair, and her kind and loving face facing Lu Xiang was now covered with frost, with a hint of hostility coming from it.
"Look at the stupid things your good daughter did in the Qin family today."
Liu's tense face trembled violently, and when Lu Youping looked over, she cried out: "Master, Mingzhu is innocent, she was wronged, the old lady didn't listen to my explanation, you know Mingzhu best, how could she do such a thing?"
"Oh, it's unfair?" The old lady sneered and looked at Liu's behavior with disgust: "This is the second time she has done something shameless, and you still have the nerve to speak up for her. I am too embarrassed to listen. Did someone force her hand to take Xiao Muheng's letter, or did someone force her to hide it on her body?"
Liu shook her head at Lu Youping and said, "Master, that's not the case. Mingzhu got the letter from Yunzhe, who is by Miss San's side. It has nothing to do with Mingzhu."
The implication is that Lu Xiang deliberately framed Lu Mingzhu.
"Asshole." The old lady slammed the table in anger, wishing she could rush up and tear Liu's mouth apart: "I didn't convict you of a crime, but you still dared to slander Xiangxiang, Liu, am I too kind to you on weekdays?"
When Liu met the old lady's murderous gaze, her heart trembled, but she pretended to be calm and insisted on her own idea.
Her daughter was to be married to a duke, a prince, or a general. How could she be tied to the lowly Xiao Muheng? As long as she poured the basin of water on Lu Xiang, Mingzhu could stay out of it.
"Yun Zhai, you go." Lu Xiang pointed at Yun Zhai standing in the distance and said.
Yun Zha stepped forward, bowed to everyone and said, "Madam, according to the master, the note was given to the fourth young lady by this servant..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard Liu's sharp roar that was almost piercing: "Master, look, she has admitted it."
Yun Zha was not frightened by Liu's sudden crazy look: "Don't be anxious, Aunt Liu, just listen to what I have to say." Her calm little look seemed to have some of the pride of her own lady.
Liu looked at Yun Zha with a murderous look and said, "Bitch, let's see what you can say."
"When I was in the Qin Mansion, a young master suddenly came to me and gave me a note, asking me to pass it to the Fourth Young Lady. I thought it was inappropriate and refused, but the young master stopped me and said that he, Madam Liu and the Fourth Young Lady were relatives, and the matter on the note concerned human life. He was afraid that directly giving the Fourth Young Lady unnecessary misunderstandings would cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so he asked me to pass it on in a vague way. I was half-believing and half-doubting. Since I knew the Fourth Young Lady, I could find Huamei, but the young master said that he couldn't find a chance to talk to Huamei, and he had no choice but to ask me to do it because he saw that I was a maid in the Lu Mansion. If I still don't believe it, I will pass the paper to the Fourth Young Lady to see how she reacts. If the Fourth Young Lady accepts it, she will know that what he said is true."
