Chapter 76 The Fifth Miss Goes Crazy
Lu Mingzhu was extremely excited. If even the empress dowager liked her, she would be the most honorable among the noble ladies in the capital in the future.
By then, her father would see how outstanding she is and might make her mother his legal wife, and she would become the legitimate daughter of the Lu family. With the appreciation of the empress dowager, she would have a bright future.
"Aunt, I will embroider it with all my heart and will not let Madam Shufei down."
"Okay, it's worth it that your aunt loves you so much."
…
After Concubine Zhen left, the Lu Mansion returned to peace. However, whenever the old lady saw Lu Xiang, she would show a look of heartache and impatience. Lu Xiang was completely confused by her melancholy look. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Grandmother, are you missing Concubine Zhen?"
"We will be going to the capital soon. I think your aunt will have the opportunity to meet us in the palace." said the old lady.
"Then why does grandma always look so sad these days?"
"Grandma is worried about you." The old lady touched Lu Xiang's little face and said.
Lu Xiang: ???
Seeing the innocent and naive look of the girl in front of her, the old lady's heart softened. "I am very surprised by your aunt's attitude towards your fourth sister this time. If Mingzhu catches the eye of Concubine Shu, I am afraid she will not be able to overshadow her in the future. If this situation continues, your father will most likely make Liu his wife for the sake of his own interests. Given the character of the mother and daughter, once they take control of the Lu Mansion, I am afraid they will suppress you."
She knew her son well. If Mingzhu could help him, he would not let her bear the title of concubine. Moreover, if she could marry the concubine, I'm afraid all the rich and powerful families would want to marry her as their legal wife.
As for the marriage with Xiao Muheng, even if the Lu family regrets it, no one will care too much in the face of the huge temptation of power.
The old lady could protect Lu Xiang openly, but she was afraid that her beloved granddaughter would be plotted against by Liu when she was not paying attention.
Lu Xiang suddenly realized that this was what his grandmother was worried about, and his heart suddenly felt warm.
"It's a blessing for our family that my fourth sister can help father. I don't care. If father really makes Concubine Liu his wife, I will be careful not to conflict with them. After all, my grandmother loves me, and Concubine Liu won't dare to do anything to me easily."
hehe……
If she let Liu become Mrs. Lu and Lu Mingzhu stepped on her head to enjoy the glory and praise, she would die again.
If she wants to use her things to please the Queen Mother, she will have to wait and see if Lu Mingzhu is lucky enough to receive them...
Lu Xiang narrowed his eyes, hiding a dark gleam of bloodthirsty excitement like a beast before hunting.
The old lady felt so distressed when she saw her granddaughter compromising for the sake of the overall situation of the Lu family.
When she goes to the capital, she must choose a good husband for Xiangxiang who can protect her from being bullied by the Liu family, so that she can close her eyes in peace a hundred years later.
Lu Xiang took one thousand taels of silver from Lu Mingzhu for the screen with a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, which made Lu Mingzhu so angry that she almost vomited blood. Although she had received a lot of gold and silver rewards during the days since Concubine Zhen came back, many of them were given by the emperor and could not be sold. She had only saved more than one thousand taels of silver in private money in total, and Lu Xiang's opening just emptied her money.
But now Lu Mingzhu needs her help, so she has to give her the money even if it means cutting off her own flesh and blood.
A screen is not easy to embroider, especially since it is a gift for the Empress Dowager, so it needs to be exquisite and grand. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager's birthday is in October, so there is still enough time.
Although Lu Mingzhu threw this job to Lu Xiang, in the eyes of outsiders it was her business, so Lu Mingzhu thought about it again and again and took the initiative to propose to move to the North Courtyard, saying that she wanted to concentrate on embroidery and did not want to be disturbed. The North Courtyard was quiet, so she even brought along her personal maids, Huamei and Lanqiu.
When Concubine Zhen came back, Lu Mingzhu begged to move back to the Lotus Courtyard, but now she wants to live in the North Courtyard...
The old lady didn't say much when she heard this. They would be going to Beijing next month, and she was busy packing her luggage and preparing to move, so she just went with Lu Mingzhu.
With the assistance of Lu Xiang and Qiao Jingru, the old lady was not tired even though she was busy.
The sun sets in the west, and the setting sun is blood-red.
Lu Xiang was concentrating on embroidering in a warm room. The orange sunset shone on her profile, making her look like a fairy who was not of this world.
Yunzhe knocked on the door and entered: "Miss, Xia Qing said he wants to see you for something."
Hearing this, Lu Xiang immediately put down the needle and thread in her hand and said, "Let's go."
In a more secluded place, Lu Xiang met Xia Qing.
As soon as Xia Qing saw Lu Xiang, her heart suddenly dropped, but her expression was still a little ugly: "Third Miss, Fifth Miss is crazy, she asked me to set fire to the North Courtyard."
"Hiss..." Yun Zha took a breath and widened his eyes in disbelief.
What happened to Miss Five?
Lu Xiang was also shocked: "What does she want to do?"
"The fourth young lady is favored by Concubine Zhen. When she heard that she was going to embroider a birthday gift for the empress dowager, the fifth young lady became jealous and crazy. I don't know what she was thinking, but she asked me to set fire to the fourth young lady's residence. She said it would be best to burn the fourth young lady to death, but if she couldn't be burned to death, she would be destroyed. She also asked me to find a way to get the third young lady's belongings and leave them at the scene. If I didn't agree, she would beat me to death..."
"Fifth Miss is not satisfied with wanting to kill Fourth Miss, she also wants to frame Third Miss. How can she be so vicious?"
Yun Zha clenched his fists and cursed angrily.
I always thought that the Fourth Miss was despicable and shameless, but I didn't expect that the Fifth Miss was even more vicious.
Xia Qing looked at Lu Xiang helplessly: "Miss Third, what should I do?"
The Fifth Miss planned to kill two birds with one stone. If the case was eventually traced back to her, she would push herself out to take the blame. This was a really good plan.
Xia Qing was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he was more afraid that he would end up in a bad way.
Lu Xiang was silent for a while, then took off her earrings: "I will help her."
Xia Qing held the earrings in her hands, completely stunned: "Huh?"
"Since Lu Yue thinks I want to win you over, she will naturally give you a benefit. Give her this pair of earrings and tell her that I gave them to you as a reward. She will definitely ask you to throw the earrings at the fire scene. To set a fire, you need to find a good opportunity. Wait for my message. Since Lu Yue wants to commit suicide so badly, I will lend her a helping hand."
Lu Xiang's voice was like an ice bell ringing in the wind, and his eyes were cold, as if carrying an indescribable icy air from an ancient well in the cold.
"Don't worry, I will make sure you are safe and will not be implicated."
With Lu Xiang's promise, Xia Qing felt relieved. She bowed to Lu Xiang gratefully, took her earrings and hurried away.
