Chapter 112 I Feel Like the Sky Is Falling
The old lady also looked at Lu Xiang in surprise, as if she had not expected that the young girl could see things so sharply. Little did she know that Lu Xiang now had the soul of two lives living in her body.
There was a moment of silence in the room. The old lady did not speak up to make a decision for her son at this time. He was the one who would support the Lu family in the future. No matter what decision her son made, she, as a mother, would obey it.
Lu Youping was in agony. After an unknown amount of time, he looked at the two of them seriously and said, "Take a chance. Fortune and wealth come with risk. A duke is not born noble. Things change over time. Maybe in the future, the Lu family will be admired as a top family."
The old lady took a deep breath, and then exhaled heavily: "Okay, now that you have made up your mind, stand firm and don't waver easily."
"I understand, son." Lu Youping stood up, bowed deeply to the old lady, and then left.
Lu Xiang was not surprised by Lu Youping's decision. Moreover, although her father was selfish, cowardly and profit-driven, he did have some real abilities, otherwise he would not have become a marquis in just a few years in his previous life.
Lu Youping returned to the front yard and sat in the study for a long time.
Manager Du reported from outside the study: "Master, Aunt Liu has woken up and wants to see you."
BANG——
There was a sound of books being thrown in the study, followed by Lu Youping's angry voice: "No, let her stay in the lotus garden and don't ask for mercy. If you feel sorry for her daughter, then go to the farm to accompany her."
Liu must have known all of Mingzhu's actions, but she never revealed a single detail to him. Lu Youping felt angry at being deceived by the person he loved.
If Fan Liu had told him, he wouldn't have been caught off guard.
It was in vain that he was so devoted to Liu. Did the mother and daughter really think of him as their husband and father?
Manager Du did not ask any further questions and went to Heyuan to pass on the message.
When Liu heard this, she felt as if the sky was falling, and she cried in the room, gasping for breath. Luochun comforted her.
"Don't be sad, Auntie. Today's incident was a blow to the Master, and it's inevitable that the Master will be angry. When things calm down after a while, the Master will still remember the kindness of the Fourth Miss. Then Auntie will go and beg the Master. You and the Master have had a long-standing relationship."
Liu kept wiping her tears and nervously grabbed Luochun's hand, as if she could find a little safety in this way.
"You are right. The master loves me wholeheartedly. He is just too angry today. He will not really ignore us, mother and daughter."
Luo Chun nodded and said, "That's right."
"It's all that little bitch Lu Xiang's fault. She was the one who embroidered the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix. She deliberately framed Mingzhu. Damn bitch, bitch... I won't let her go..."
Liu clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with intense hatred, and her face looked hideous and terrifying.
Luo Chun was still frightened. Thinking of Lu Xiang's beautiful face, his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Killing someone with a borrowed knife, the Third Miss is such a cruel method.
Isn't she afraid that Concubine Shu will not notice anything unusual and send it directly to the Queen Mother? Then the entire Lu family will suffer an unexpected disaster, and even the Third Miss herself will be implicated. Isn't she afraid of death?
In the village outside the city, Lu Mingzhu was lying on the bed in a daze, with blood oozing from her bandaged fingers. Huamei was anxiously running around beside her.
Not long after, Lan Qiu came in, and Hua Mei asked hurriedly: "How is it? Have you called the doctor?"
Lan Qiu pouted and almost cried: "They didn't want to, saying that the fourth young lady had already seen a doctor when she was sent here, and it was just a pinched finger and she wouldn't die."
"Damn it, these bastards who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. When we go back, we will report to the master and have them killed and be done with it." Huamei stomped her feet in anger.
Lan Qiu glanced at the unconscious Lu Mingzhu and felt extremely worried. Do they still have a chance to go back?
"What should we do now? We asked the servants here to make medicine, but he was so cruel that he took the ginseng from the medicine for himself. Now the fourth young lady has a high fever and will die if this continues."
Not to mention the injury to the finger. If it is not treated properly, he will not be able to take care of himself in the future.
Huamei gritted her teeth. They left in a hurry. Her aunt fainted again at that time. The house was in chaos and there was no time to pack the gifts properly. She didn't have much silver on her.
When they arrived at the village, the servants there added insult to injury. No matter what they were asked to do, they would be paid first. All the money on them was soon taken away by them.
"You stay with the fourth young lady, I'm going to go out for a while." Huamei said.
Lan Qiu: "Are you going back home?"
"Well, no matter what, the fourth young lady is still the master's daughter, and the aunt is still in the mansion. She will not stand by and watch her die."
Having said that, Huamei turned and left.
Lan Qiu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly pulled her back: "Wait a moment."
Huamei was puzzled, but soon she saw Lan Qiu coming over with a bunch of things, which were the jewelry that Lu Mingzhu was wearing when she left.
"What do you want to do with this?" asked Thrush.
Lan Qiu said, "We have been out for three days, and there has been no news from the mansion. Aunt Liu has not sent anyone to pass on the message. I always feel uneasy. We are penniless. You take these with you. Money makes the world go round. It will be easier."
Huamei hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "You are right. Right now, nothing is more important than the safety of the Fourth Young Lady. The Fourth Young Lady will understand when she wakes up."
She put away the jewelry and left the village.
The servants in the manor are all a bunch of vampires. It is better to do things by yourself than to ask them to do them. Huamei seriously suspects that these people are deliberately bullying them on the orders of the eldest young lady.
Huamei was standing at the door of the Lu family. When the gatekeeper saw her, he immediately closed the door, leaving Huamei no chance to say a word.
The servant doesn't want to cause trouble for himself. Didn't you see that Aunt Liu didn't dare to plead for the Fourth Miss?
I heard yesterday that the master made a mistake and was reprimanded by the Emperor, who suspended him from his post to reflect on his mistakes in the palace. Isn't it obvious that he is implicated by the Fourth Young Lady? He might even be stripped of his official position after reflecting on his mistakes. Who would dare to get into trouble at this time?
He just pretended not to see it.
Huamei's lips trembled with anger, and she banged on the door: "Open the door, open the door quickly, I have something important to see my aunt, my young lady is the mistress of the mansion after all, please open the door quickly."
The servant pouted speechlessly: "I'm kindly reminding you to leave quickly. Aunt Liu can't even protect herself. If you continue to make a fuss and make the master angry, the fourth lady may not even be qualified to live in the manor."
Look, he is really a kind servant.
Huamei choked. Although she didn't believe the servant's warning, she didn't dare to argue anymore when she thought of Lu Mingzhu's current situation.
"You dog slave, wait until our lady comes back and I'll teach you a lesson." Huamei cursed and turned away.
The servant did not take Huamei's threat seriously. It was still unknown when the Fourth Young Miss would be able to return home. It would be better to deal with this matter later than being punished now.
