Chapter 69 You are so awesome
Qiao Jingru was deeply impressed by Lu Mingzhu's shamelessness. She glared at Lu Xiang and said angrily, "Are you just going to let her bully you like this?"
What about the courage to plot against Liu's mother and daughter? Show it.
Lu Xiang said: "Of course not, I made five hundred taels from her."
Qiao Jingru rolled her eyes: “…” Then you are really awesome.
"Sister-in-law, only by playing the long game can you catch the big fish. Now is not the time to fight back."
"Huh?" Qiao Jingru raised her eyes when she heard Lu Xiang say that, and looked at her in surprise: "Did you do that on purpose?"
"Oh, don't be so direct. Lu Mingzhu thought she had found my weakness, but she didn't know that I had her lifeline firmly in my grasp. As long as she can't bear to give up this vanity, she will have no choice but to keep begging me."
Qiao Jingru seemed to understand what he said, but the point was that Lu Xiang did not suffer any loss.
"It's good that you know what's going on." She was really worried, afraid that Lu Xiang would be bullied by Lu Mingzhu by accident.
Lu Xiang felt warm in his heart as he felt Qiao Jingru's concern.
"And if Lu Mingzhu asks me for help once, I can make a fortune from her."
Qiao Jingru: “…” This sentence is the key point.
Before entering the main hall of Fuyuan Hall, he could hear words of praise and compliments for Lu Mingzhu. At the same time, in the front yard, Xiao Muheng was also surrounded by a group of young masters. As much as they had laughed at him in the past, they envied him now.
What does it matter that the concubine's daughter of the Lu family has a low status? As long as she is favored by Concubine Zhen, a concubine's daughter is superior to a legitimate daughter.
It’s so hateful that Xiao Muheng acted so quickly. How could he have dealt with Lu Mingzhu so early?
Now everyone is flattering on the surface but they are regretting it so much in their hearts, they have made a mistake!
Xiao Muheng stood in the middle of a group of people, feeling very proud. As dissatisfied as he was with his engagement with Lu Mingzhu before, he was now very glad that that fool Lu Mingzhu was so devoted to him.
If she hadn't admired him, he wouldn't have been able to take advantage of her now.
The engagement of the two has been announced to the public. They will be able to get married as soon as Lu Mingzhu grows up. With Concubine Zhen as his support, his own success is just around the corner.
Humph, so what if Governor Qin has a backer in the capital? Ever since Concubine Zhen came to Yangning City, she still smiles at me.
Xiao Muheng enjoyed the flattery of the crowd and handled it with ease.
Looking at Lu Chao who was hiding aside, people who didn’t know would think that Xiao Muheng was the son of the Lu family.
When Concubine Zhen hosted a banquet, naturally no one was so blind as to dare to cause trouble. Even Qin Shuyan had to avoid Lu Mingzhu's attention and was kept in the mansion by Madam Qin, for fear that her daughter would become too spoiled and would not say a word in a conflict with Lu Mingzhu.
…
The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Thanks to Concubine Zhen, ice cubes were continuously delivered to the Lu Mansion. Since Lu Xiang agreed to embroider the fan for Lu Mingzhu, he had not stepped out of the room for five consecutive days.
Lu Xiang said that it was too hot and she felt dizzy and couldn't concentrate on embroidering. Lu Mingzhu wanted her help, so she gritted her teeth and gave half of her ice to Lu Xiang. Qiao Jingru was so envious that she ran to her room every day to cool off. Even Dabai's ferocity could not stop her.
Drinking iced green bean soup and eating watermelon, Qiao Jingru lay on the soft couch and sighed with satisfaction: "In the entire Lu Mansion, except for Concubine Zhen's place, your place is the coolest and most comfortable."
"When you have nothing to do, you come to my place to eat and drink for free. Aren't you comfortable?"
Lu Xiang was concentrating on the embroidery in her hands and spoke without raising her head.
Qiao Jingru threw away the watermelon rind in her hand, turned over and looked at Lu Xiang: "Just embroider casually, why take it so seriously." With Lu Xiang's skills, she can embroider better than others even with her eyes closed.
"What if Concubine Shu doesn't like the casual embroidery?" Then her efforts would have been in vain.
As she was talking, she suddenly heard Ah Man say outside the door, "Miss San, may I come in?"
Lu Xiang: "Come in."
Ah Man pushed the door open and bowed to Qiao Jingru, then said, "Miss, I have found the person you asked me to find, but he is seriously ill. I have asked a doctor to see him. Although the doctor did not say it clearly, I think he is not doing well."
"Seriously ill?" Lu Xiang looked at Ah Man in surprise.
Ah Man nodded: "When I found him in the dilapidated temple, he was already confused by the fever." After searching for so long, I found a dying man. Is he still useful to the young lady? "Young lady, do you still want to save him?"
"Of course we have to save him. Where is he now?"
"In the dilapidated temple. I went with the doctor to get medicine and came back to report to you." What if he really died, at least the young lady would know before he died.
"Sister-in-law, I need you to borrow two strong maids to do the heavy work." Lu Xiang stood up and said.
When Qiao Jingru first got married, the two elders of the Qiao family wanted to give their daughter all their family assets to prevent her from being looked down upon in the Lu Mansion. Therefore, the maids and old women she brought as a dowry almost equaled half of the Lu Mansion at that time. Qinghui Courtyard could not accommodate so many people, so some of the servants were assigned to various places, but their indentures were in Qiao Jingru's hands, so strictly speaking, the real master of these people was Qiao Jingru.
Lu Xiang wanted to place He Zhiyi in the city to recuperate, so she needed someone strong and reliable to go with her. Now in the entire Lu Mansion, she only trusted Qiao Jingru.
The indenture of the old woman was held by Qiao Jingru, so they didn't dare to say anything unless they saw it.
Seeing how anxious she was, Qiao Jingru didn't ask any more questions and told Huamei to quickly pick two strong maids to go with Lu Xiang.
Ah Man drove a gray-shed horse-drawn carriage and quietly went out through the back door. As soon as he left the Lu Mansion, he threw the reins and ran away at lightning speed, like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.
Lu Xiang seriously suspected that this girl wanted to ride a horse but never had the chance, so she was feeling depressed.
Although I can’t ride it now, the feeling of running is almost the same.
"Ah Man, slow down, I'm going to vomit."
Lu Xiang clung to the carriage tightly, his soul almost leaving his body due to the shaking all the way.
The two old women were not much better, their faces were pale and they tried hard not to complain, but the complaints in their hearts flowed like a river.
They are so desperate that their old bones are about to fall apart.
Those who don’t know might think that they had offended this girl A’man in the past, so they are now deliberately taking revenge on her.
Ah Man, who had been letting herself go, quickly restrained herself after hearing Lu Xiang's words: "Oh, oh, oh, I'm just afraid that if I'm too late, I won't be able to see that person for the last time."
Lu Xiang: “…”
Just make it up! I can't tell that you are guilty.
It might be true that He Zhiyi was seriously ill and his life was in danger, but since he was brought back alive by Xiao Muheng in his previous life, he must have survived. Now that he had found her in advance and Ah Man had hired a doctor for him as quickly as possible, Lu Xiang was worried but believed that He Zhiyi had a strong life.
