Chapter 5 I get angry just looking at you
"Shut up." The old lady suddenly slammed her chopsticks on the table and said angrily.
Lu Youping was choked by the yelling.
A sneer flashed across Lu Xiang's lowered eyes.
Haha...this is her biological father.
She once thought that her father and mother treated each other with respect and had affection for each other, but after seeing how he got along with Liu, she found out that this man didn't like her mother at all. Although he respected her, it was cruel for a woman that her husband had no affection for her.
It was just Liu's crying, but he came and scolded her without thinking.
"Dad!" Lu Xiang raised her head, her beautiful big eyes revealing a sense of innocence and loveliness: "As a legitimate daughter, I am so humble to a concubine and a concubine. If this gets out, won't it tarnish your reputation?"
Lu Youping was refuted by Lu Xiang, and blurted out angrily: "Who said they are concubines and concubines?"
Lu Xiang's eyes were slightly cold: "Dad means to make Aunt Liu the legal wife and Lu Mingzhu the legitimate daughter?"
She was here to help him break through this layer of window paper.
Lu Youping's thoughts were exposed by Lu Xiang without any preparation. His face suddenly changed and he hurried to look at the old lady's expression.
He hadn't mentioned it during this period because he wanted his mother to be mentally prepared. After all, his words and actions had already revealed this intention, and he was just waiting for an appropriate opportunity to bring it up.
The old lady looked at Lu Youping with a gloomy gaze and sneered, "Oh, if you want to support Liu as the legitimate wife, you have to die and let a concubine become the mistress of the Lu family. You have no shame, but I still have."
Lu Youping couldn't stand others saying anything bad about Liu: "Mom, Liu was also a lady from a scholarly family. In terms of character, cultivation and bearing, she is not inferior to others at all."
"Would a girl from a truly good family become someone's mistress? Even if you praise her as the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens, it cannot change the fact that she used to be an actress." The old lady said in a cold voice.
Lu Youping: "Her family fell into poverty and she had to perform on the streets to make a living. My son thinks there is nothing shameful about her supporting herself with her own abilities." On the contrary, he just likes Liu's tenacious temperament.
The old lady pinched her brows in a headache and said, "I agree that you can take her into the mansion. Giving her the status of aunt is already the biggest concession. Don't even think about anything else."
Lu Youping looked determined to defend his beloved until death: "Mom, I don't want to let her down."
"Lu Youping, you..."
The old lady was so angry that she slammed the table. Suddenly, a pair of soft little hands covered her, and then Lu Xiang's voice with desolation rang out: "Dad, I always thought that you loved your daughter, but now you want to demote your daughter from a legitimate wife to a concubine?"
In the previous life, in order to make Liu the legitimate wife, her father had a big fight with her grandmother, and she assisted from the side. In the end, her grandmother had no choice but to nod in agreement.
The father and daughter's coercive behavior must have broken my grandmother's heart at that time.
But in the end, she let the wolf into the house, harming herself and the people around her.
If she were to live her life over again, she would let Liu become the mistress of the Lu family and write her name, Lu Xiang, backwards.
Her father claimed that he and Liu were truly in love and was willing to do anything for her. However, no matter how much he loved Liu, he could not change his selfish and cowardly nature.
Well, to put it bluntly, once his own interests are involved, he becomes cowardly.
Lu Youping looked at his daughter's black eyes sparkling with tears as she felt wronged, and felt a little guilty. After all, he had just rushed over with murderous intent and scolded her just a moment ago, so he couldn't really say that he loved her.
But how is it possible to demote her to a concubine?
"Xiangxiang, what nonsense are you talking about? How could your father demote you to a concubine's daughter?" Even though Mingzhu is his favorite and most beloved daughter, it is impossible for him to humiliate his own legitimate daughter like this.
Lu Xiang looked up at Lu Youping, "Although my daughter rarely shows up, everyone knows that the Third Miss of the Lu family is the only legitimate daughter. Now my father wants to support Aunt Liu as the legitimate daughter, and Lu Mingzhu is the legitimate daughter. She is also half a year older than my daughter. In this way, she will naturally become the Third Miss. How can my daughter, the real Third Miss, gain a foothold? Who will think that the Fourth Miss is also a legitimate daughter when she goes out in the future? Isn't my father demoting my daughter to a concubine by doing this?"
Lu Youping: "This... We will be entering Beijing soon, and we won't be misunderstood by then."
Haha, new environment, new interpersonal relationships, as long as the servants taken away keep their mouths shut, who knows whether your mistress is the original wife or the second daughter, and she will not care how many legitimate daughters you have. It is quite beautiful to imagine.
This was indeed the case in her previous life. She was devoted to Liu and her daughter, so why would she care whether she was the third or fourth lady?
"My daughter is young and doesn't understand other big principles. If a legitimate daughter is treated as a concubine's daughter in the future, she will definitely feel unwilling and speak nonsense out of resentment. If the news gets out accidentally, it will be disadvantageous for Father Yu to gain a foothold in the capital."
Not to mention that we haven’t gone to Beijing yet.
I have been Miss Lu San for fourteen years, and you inexplicably turned me into Miss Lu San. Don't blame me if I said anything unpleasant in anger. After all, I was young and ignorant.
When Lu Youping heard this, his face darkened: "Lu Xiang, as a daughter, you actually dare to threaten your father, how can you be so disrespectful?"
"What's wrong with threatening you?" The old lady glared at Lu Youping and said angrily, "You dare to threaten your mother. Xiangxiang just learned it from you. If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. What qualifications do you have to teach her a lesson? You want to go to the capital city where you are unfamiliar with the place and cross the sea. Do you think everyone else is a fool? I don't know what's in your head. Get out of here. I'm angry just looking at you."
After she finished scolding, she immediately turned to look at Lu Xiang: "Xiang Xiang, grandma is not scolding you, she is scolding your father."
The old lady was referring to her saying "If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked."
Lu Xiang nodded obediently: "Grandma, I know."
Lu Youping: "..."
His granddaughter is his biological child, he was afraid she was adopted.
Lu Youping was almost embarrassed by the old lady's scolding. He didn't dare to say anything more. He just said "Son, take your leave" and left.
The old lady rolled her eyes subconsciously when she thought of her son's foolish love with Liu.
"Grandma, don't be angry. Dad just didn't think it through for a moment." Lu Xiang's soft little hand gently stroked the old lady's back, helping her calm down. "This matter is just our family affair. Dad is determined to compensate Aunt Liu and Lu Mingzhu, so he is not afraid of gossip in the future. My granddaughter is a junior, and I have no right to question whether Dad wants to marry a wife or a concubine. I just thought of my aunt who had a hard time surviving in the palace. She finally climbed to the position of concubine. There are so many pairs of jealous eyes in the harem staring at her, and she really can't make any mistakes. The emperor values filial piety, and he values character when hiring people. I'm afraid that someone will magnify Dad's affair infinitely, making the emperor dissatisfied with my aunt, which will cost my aunt's life."
Lu Youping caused chaos in his family because of a mistress. What kind of person would the daughter raised by the same mother be?
The old lady didn't dare to think too much after hearing this.
My daughter has been in the palace for five years and has finally climbed to the position of concubine. As a brother, I can't be a strong support to her, but at least I can't hold my sister back.
