Chapter 68: Just like throwing away garbage
Damn, the fourth young lady has quietly dug a hole for their young lady again.
So cheap!
"Go ahead." Lu Xiang said impatiently.
Lu Mingzhu looked at the stunningly beautiful girl in front of her, the jealousy in her heart roaring like an ocean wave, she hated the thought of destroying Lu Xiang's appearance.
"The Concubine Shu admired my embroidery skills very much. Before leaving the palace, my aunt specifically asked me to bring back a few pieces of embroidery so that she could make them into round fans..."
Lu Xiang looked at Lu Mingzhu with a half-smile: "Fourth sister, are you eager to show off to me? Then congratulations to you for getting the special treatment from Concubine Shu. I wish you great success in advance."
Lu Mingzhu was choked with anger by Lu Xiang's sarcastic remarks.
What Concubine Shu liked was not her embroidery skills, but Lu Xiang's. This bitch was now at odds with her, so how could she embroider for her just by coaxing her a few words like before? But now that she had the favor of Concubine Zhen, maybe she could even get close to Concubine Shu in the future, so she would never give up such a benefit.
"Let's be frank. Please complete the embroidery that the Concubine Shu wants for me..."
Lu Xiang's red lips were filled with sarcasm: "Lu Mingzhu, you are so shameless. Who gave you the confidence to come to me and ask for this?"
"If you agree, I will conceal the fact that Ah Man broke the gift given by the Queen Mother. Otherwise, the Queen Mother will be furious and Ah Man will be severely punished."
"You threaten me?"
"So what? You have no choice. Even if you don't feel sorry for your maid, you have to consider your grandmother. Concubine Shu believes that my embroidery skills are superb. If you refuse, I can't produce any embroidery, which would be deception. You should think clearly about the crime of deceiving Concubine Shu. I will not have a good ending then, and my aunt will not be immune to it either. It was she who led me to Concubine Shu, so she also committed the crime of deception and offended Concubine Shu. My aunt will definitely have a bad life in the palace."
"Your grandmother loves you the most. How can you bear to see her only daughter being tortured and schemed against by Concubine Shu in the palace?"
Lu Mingzhu spoke faster and faster, and there was a hint of madness on her face at the end: "Even if you want to expose me in front of aunt now, I am sure that aunt will definitely play along and order you to embroider for me, so third sister, you have no way out."
She had thought of her excuses before coming. No matter how much Lu Xiang hated her, he had to carefully consider the consequences of refusing.
Lu Xiang glared at Lu Mingzhu with angry eyes, his face turned pale and ugly, but he had to endure it because his soft spot was pinched. His heavy breathing fell into his ears, like a broken bellows being pulled by someone.
Lu Mingzhu felt a perverse sense of pleasure as she watched her struggling like a drowning person.
She is the one that is loved by Concubine Zhen and valued by Concubine Shu. In the future, she will receive countless envious glances and praises, while Lu Xiang can only hide in the dark and be squeezed dry of his value by her. She is the darling of the Lu family.
After a long time, Lu Xiang seemed to have given up struggling, showing a look of resignation, and said through gritted teeth: "Lu Mingzhu, you are so cruel."
Lu Mingzhu raised a smug smile, as if everything was under her control: "Third sister, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. If you help me, I will certainly not treat you unfairly."
"You said that a set of embroidery costs one hundred taels. Pay first and then we'll deliver it." Lu Xiang said.
Lu Mingzhu choked with anger: "..."
Lu Xiang, you are such a shameless person. She just said it casually, but this bitch actually took advantage of it.
"Don't want to? Then I'll go find Concubine Zhen. Since she wants to take advantage of the situation, she will definitely be willing to pay the money." Lu Xiang glanced at Lu Mingzhu and said in a neutral tone.
How is that possible?
Lu Mingzhu immediately slammed the table and agreed: "Deal, just don't play any tricks on me." If her aunt knew, although she would continue to ask Lu Xiang to embroider for her, she would no longer like herself.
How could Lu Mingzhu let Lu Xiang destroy her current status?
"Get out of here now." Lu Xiang angrily drove him away.
Lu Mingzhu got up and left angrily.
Clearly, he came here today to show off to Lu Xiang and ask her to compromise, but why did he end up being tricked and left in a rage?
Inside the room, Lu Xiang's angry expression suddenly disappeared after Lu Mingzhu left. A calm smile appeared on her pretty face, like a lotus flower emerging from water, making people tremble.
Lu Mingzhu was so greedy that after tasting the benefits and status that power brought her, it was impossible for her to give up easily. Whether it was to embroider a fan for Concubine Shu or something else, Lu Xiang had been waiting for her to come.
After swallowing something that originally belonged to her, how could Lu Mingzhu not spit it out with interest?
In order to prevent the night from being too long and causing more trouble, Lu Mingzhu asked Huamei to go back and get the things and banknotes to send to Lu Xiang as soon as she left Qixia Courtyard.
"Miss Third, this matter is of great importance. I hope you won't make it public." Huamei said, relying on the power of the person she is dealing with.
Seeing this, Wu Yue wanted to rush over and tear her mouth apart, but was stopped by Yun Zha.
However, a lightning-like figure suddenly rushed over like an arrow. The next moment, Huamei let out a scream, and the whole person was thrown out by A'man.
Well, just throw it out like garbage.
"If you dare to disrespect my young lady again, I will crush you to death." Ah Man stretched out a hand and clenched it fiercely in the air, which frightened Hua Mei so much that she swiftly got up from the ground and ran away. She felt a deep fear of Ah Man, this girl with extraordinary strength.
Yunzha and Wuyue felt greatly relieved.
After Ah Man finished speaking harshly, she turned around and looked at Lu Xiang. Guilt almost overwhelmed her on her round little face. She pursed her lips and burst into tears: "Wuwuwu, Miss, it's all because of me that I have caused you trouble..."
The Fourth Young Miss was so insidious that she was completely unprepared for being slandered by her.
The result was that no matter who fell, the blame was put on her, and the other young ladies were threatened by the fourth young lady because of her.
Lu Xiang smiled and patted her head: "It has nothing to do with you. Lu Mingzhu came prepared. If it wasn't you, it would be someone else around me." Besides, she had already dug a trap for Lu Mingzhu. If she didn't jump into it, she would be very sad.
"Miss, whatever Miss Four wants to embroider, I will embroider it for you." Yun Zha said.
Lu Xiang shook his head and said, "This concerns Concubine Zhen, you can't replace her. Put your things away and let's go to Qinghui Courtyard quickly." Being delayed by Lu Mingzhu, most of the morning had passed.
Yunzha and Wuyue looked at each other with surprise. They vaguely knew something but did not dare to ask further questions, so they closed their mouths and put the things back into the house.
"Why are you dawdling so early in the morning? Why did you only come now?" Qiao Jingru muttered when she saw Lu Xiang. Then she saw Yunzha and Wuyue, both of whom looked as sad as eggplants hit by frost, and asked, "What's wrong with them?"
As Lu Xiang and Qiao Jingru walked towards Fuyuan Hall, Lu Xiang told her about Lu Mingzhu.
