Chapter 35 Stealing Brother's Article
"Is that what you are here to say? Can you ask Yanshu to come out as a witness?"
"He was broken off from engagement and despised by others, and you still want him to come out as a witness? You are rubbing salt into Yanshu's wounds!"
Lu Yuanze coaxed her in a gentle voice: "Yunniang, Yanshu is already disabled, so what if he suffers some grievances?"
"He won't go out, and he can't stand the harm." He said in a light tone, which made Xu furious.
"I've seen Lu Jinghuai before. A 17-year-old boy who has won three prizes in the imperial examination must be extraordinary. He will surely soar to the sky. It's better to make a good relationship with him."
"Some people even say that he is the second Yanshu! His literary talent and his articles are not inferior to Yanshu's!"
Lu Yuanze's eyes lit up, as if he had come alive again.
Xu looked at him indifferently.
Does he still remember that Yanshu was smarter than Lu Jinghuai?
"No one can step on my son to get to the top!" Xu's whole body was trembling and her lips turned pale.
This is more than just a testimony, it is also about letting Lu Yanshu come out as a stepping stone! Make Lu Jinghuai famous!
"Even if Yanshu is paralyzed, I won't let him become a stepping stone! As for Lu Jinghuai, we had an encounter before Jiang Yunjin broke off the engagement. Who knows if they had an affair without a matchmaker?"
"A genius boy? A top three scorer in the imperial examination? He's nothing but an adulterer! You want my son to testify against him? Dream on!" Xu gritted her teeth.
Bang!
Lu Yuanze slapped Xu in the face with a hint of anger on his face: "What nonsense are you talking about?!" Lu Yuanze looked a little flustered.
Xu raised her hand and gently wiped the blood from the corner of her lips, hatred surging in her eyes.
"I think you are crazy!"
"Yunniang, how did you become like this? So petty and intolerant? You have lost all your magnanimity and virtue!" After he said that, he turned away.
Dengzhi pushed the door open suddenly and saw that his wife's cheeks were bruised and there was blood at the corners of her mouth. Tears immediately rolled down his cheeks.
"My Lord, how dare you do this?"
Dengzhi hurriedly ordered someone to fetch some water and apply cold compress to reduce the swelling.
Mrs. Xu had a blank expression on her face and let the maids get busy.
Without noticing anything, Lu Chaochao sat upright on the couch with a serious expression, even his favorite apple rolled to his feet.
【genius? It's just the reputation he gained from stealing big brother's articles! 】
[Steal the big brother now, and when the heroine grows up, there will be five thousand years of Chinese poetry and songs to help him! 】
The lights outside the house were bright, the atmosphere inside the house was depressing, and there was undisguised hatred in Xu's eyes!
Whenever Xu's mouth moved, she felt pain on her face.
"Go check out the articles that Lu Jinghuai has become famous for in recent years. And bring back his old articles as well." Xu thought of Chaochao's thoughts and her expression moved slightly.
Xu Yiting sent a few reliable guards, and Xu asked them to run errands on weekdays.
They are all trustworthy people.
After Lu Yuanze left the house, he did not return for half a month.
It seemed that he was intentionally trying to put pressure on Xu and force him to bow down.
Lu Wanyi also sent a special message: "This man will never hit a woman for no reason. It must be the woman who made a mistake. Sister-in-law, think carefully about what you did wrong. Admit your mistakes. As a woman, it's nothing to bow to a man."
"That's too much! Madam has taught her for more than ten years in vain!"
"Madam loves her like her own daughter, but she is so heartless!" Dengzhi was so angry that he cursed.
Mrs. Xu smiled inexplicably: "Does the old lady know about this message?"
Dengzhi said unhappily, "How could you not know? I went to tell the old lady first, and then came to Tingfeng Garden. I'm afraid the old lady also has the idea of asking you to reflect."
Lu Chaochao sat on the bed, her eyes rolling around [It’s not far from where my aunt will get beaten…]
[Fight, fight, fight…] She muttered to herself while clapping her hands.
Xu pinched her chubby little face. This little girl really knows how to watch a show.
All right……
She couldn't wait to see it either.
[I really want to eat minced meat tonight...]
[If I could eat meat paste, I would definitely be the happiest child in the world...]
[Meat paste, meat paste, meat paste...] Lu Chaochao sat on the bed, grinning and smiling at Xu, looking so adorable.
"Today is the fifteenth day of August. Let's steam some meat paste for Chaochao and make some snacks that she can digest." When Xu saw her daughter, her heart melted.
If Chao Chao hadn't come, she would now...
Are you facing a desperate situation?
Xu frowned slightly. She wanted a divorce, but she also wanted to take the four children away openly!
It’s hard, but there is hope every day.
[Yeah, mom is so nice, great...the most beautiful and best mom in the world. 】Lu Chaochao hugged her and kissed her.
[It would be even better if I could go out to enjoy the moon tonight...] Lu Chaochao muttered to himself.
Xu pretended not to hear.
"I accidentally discovered a kind of egg yolk bean in the small kitchen. It is said to melt in your mouth and is the size of a fingernail, just right for the young lady to eat."
"I'll get some later."
"The kitchen baked mooncakes early this morning, and everyone is looking forward to watching the moon tonight."
"I heard that there was a moon-viewing party outside, and all the talented men and beautiful women showed off their talents. In previous years, the eldest princess also held a grand party..." Dengzhi pinched Xu's shoulders.
Xu's eyebrows were filled with a smile: "She, this baby is so precious, how dare she hold a lantern festival."
"Let's go to the pond tonight and release lanterns. Let the kitchen prepare more food. And give everyone double the monthly salary." Xu's words made Dengzhi happily bow and thank her.
Xu looked down at Chao Chao and said, "It is my blessing to have Chao Chao."
"Take 10,000 taels of silver from the treasury and use Chao Chao's name to provide disaster relief. I heard that many victims came to Linluo due to the flood. If you settle down outside the city, it will be considered a good deed."
"Madam, you are very kind." Dengzhi bowed solemnly.
He turned around and did it himself.
It was not until the evening that Dengzhi returned home.
There is no curfew in the city today, and red lanterns are hung all over the city.
"Madam, the victims are so pitiful. They have now settled down in a small town fifty miles outside the city. In order to express their gratitude to the young lady, they have renamed the newly-decided village Chaoyang Village."
Xu nodded, but Lu Chaochao's eyes lit up as she ate the egg yolk molten beans.
No wonder she felt tiny fragments of golden light continuously flowing into her body today.
However, this will also serve as a kind of shelter for the victims.
It is still unknown now, but when a disaster strikes, Chaoyang Village will be the only survivor.
To bear her name is to be blessed by heaven.
"Madam, the Marquis... still hasn't returned home. The old lady just went out to attend the temple fair under the pretext of worshiping Buddha." Dengzhi hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice.
Several maids couldn't help but lower their voices, fearing that they would anger Mrs. Xu.
The Marquis has not returned home for ten days.
Xu's eyebrows were indifferent. If it were in the past, she would have reflected on it with great fear and trepidation and admitted her mistakes humbly.
Now Lu Yuanze still wants to oppress her, I'm afraid he is dreaming.
She wished she could eat his flesh and drink his blood!
"Okay, if you don't want to go back, then don't go back. We can just spend a quiet holiday." Xu knew that today was Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunion.
Then Pei Jiaojiao would naturally find a way to keep Lu Yuanze there.
In order to embarrass her and make her admit her mistake, Lu Yuanze naturally stayed.
Will she be embarrassed?
Dengzhi's eyes were filled with tears of grievance. His wife was the principal wife, the one who was brought into the family in a sedan chair carried by eight people. Now, the Marquis is actually spending the Mid-Autumn Festival with his mistress! This is an insult to the lady!
"Dengzhi, you have to understand that what I want is no longer his true heart." Instead, I want to escape with my children safely.
The more arrogant and reckless he is, the more we can push him into hell.
