Chapter 191 The Troublemaker
Jiang Yunjin's face was extremely stiff and he couldn't maintain the smile on his face.
She tightly grasped the handkerchief, twisting it into a knot, feeling as if a thousand arrows were piercing her heart.
Lu Yanshu was born a child of destiny. He showed his brilliance at a young age. He was a mountain that his peers could never climb, could not be looked up to, and could not be reached.
She was secretly delighted that her fiancé was so outstanding.
But ever since Lu Yanshu became disabled, all the envy turned into sharp blades and stabbed her fiercely.
"Princess Zhaoyang is joking..." Her face looked grim and she forced a smile, not knowing how to explain to Lu Chaochao.
"Are you joking? My brother is risking his life in exchange for yours." Lu Chaochao looked up at her in confusion.
"Did Lu Jinghuai also risk his life to save you?"
"Is he also like my brother, loving you with his life?" Lu Chaochao took a step forward.
Jiang Yunjin's face turned pale and he stepped back suddenly.
She stammered and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"Lu Jinghuai must love you more, otherwise why would you choose him..." Lu Chaochao sighed softly, as if he couldn't understand her dazed look.
Jiang Yunjin bit her lower lip tightly.
Does Lu Jinghuai love her more? Is he willing to exchange his life for his own?
She didn't dare to think too deeply.
She recalled the time when eight-year-old Lu Yanshu passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. The boy, who always abided by the rules, ran with sweat all over his forehead, and said to her with a flushed face: "Don't worry, I will never let you down."
"When I pass the imperial examination, I will promise you a life of peace and happiness with a phoenix crown and a bridal robe."
At that time, his eyes were sparkling, brighter than the brightest stars in the sky.
In front of others, he was extremely disciplined, didn't dare to look at me for too long, and even blushed when he spoke.
He said, people in the world are very harsh on women, I can't let you be in that whirlpool. I observe courtesy and respect you, which is the true way to protect you.
And what about Lu Jinghuai?
He coaxed her into tasting the forbidden fruit before marriage.
On the wedding night, he let go and left, leaving everyone in the capital to laugh at her. In everyone's eyes, it was ridiculous that she had not consummated her marriage for three days.
[Hehe, are you angry?] Do you regret it later? 】
[There are many times when I regret...]
Jiang Yunjin's face looked extremely ugly, and Lu Jinghuai just returned home at this moment.
He stepped forward and put his arm around Jiang Yunjin's shoulders: "How is grandma?"
"Thank you for your hard work in the mansion, Jin'er." When I lowered my head, I found that Jiang Yunjin's face was pale and his eyes were red.
"Is it grandma who is not okay?" Lu Jinghuai was a little anxious.
If the old lady dies, the father will also have to observe mourning for twenty-seven months.
"I'm sorry, it was Chaochao who made her cry..." Lu Chaochao lowered her head cautiously. He hurried forward to admit his mistake.
When Lu Jinghuai saw Lu Chaochao, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. Everything changed after Lu Chaochao was born!
"Princess Zhaoyang is so young, but she's already become spoiled by your Majesty's favor. This is not good!" Lu Jinghuai said in a heavy tone with cold eyes.
Lu Chaochao pursed her lips in grievance, and in a flash, tears began to fall.
[Mother, mother… Mother, please look at me…] Lu Chaochao turned and looked at Xu.
Xu heard her call as she wished, and hurriedly asked loudly: "What's wrong with Chao Chao?"
[Oh yeah, my mother and I really have a connection...something in common! 】
Lu Chaochao sobbed and flew into her mother's arms, looking sad as she secretly wiped away her tears. "It's all Chaochao's fault, it's all Chaochao's fault... Chaochao accidentally made her cry." Lu Chaochao pointed at Jiang Yunjin.
Jiang Yunjin felt a panic in his heart.
She hurriedly grabbed Lu Jinghuai and said, "Husband, this has nothing to do with Princess Zhaoyang. It's Yunjin who has sand in her eyes. It has nothing to do with the princess." She looked a little panicked, which made Lu Jinghuai even more furious.
"You are still on her side! Princess Zhaoyang is so vicious at such a young age. Is there any law?"
Jiang Yunjin's heart was pounding, and her eyes were almost pleading: "It really has nothing to do with the princess. There's sand in my eyes." She pulled Lu Jinghuai's sleeve pleadingly, but Lu Jinghuai had always harbored ill will towards Lu Chaochao, and now he was hoping that the matter would become a big deal so that he could vent his anger.
"I was wondering why you came to see the old lady with good intentions today. It turns out you came to my house deliberately to bully us and torment us." Pei sneered, and the mother and son immediately turned to Xu.
However, Xu did not scold Chaochao, but just squatted down to be level with her daughter.
"Chao Chao, tell mother what happened?"
Lu Chaochao said with sobs.
"I don't know what's going on... I just want to say a few words to her."
"Chao Chao just mentioned Brother Yanshu, and she suddenly started crying."
"Mother, Chao Chao doesn't understand..."
"It's all Chaochao's fault. Wuuuu..." The little girl buried her face in her mother's arms and said in a muffled voice.
The room suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at Jiang Yunjin, who was pale and sweating profusely.
Jiang Yunjin suddenly looked up at Lu Jinghuai, and as expected, saw the uncontrollable rage in Lu Jinghuai's eyes.
He shook her hand off and almost threw her to the ground.
"Jiang Yunjin, you're fine!" He suppressed his anger and clenched his fists tightly.
Xu picked up Chao Chao and shook her head helplessly, "Forget it. I shouldn't have come today. My good intentions were misunderstood."
"Please take good care of the old lady and ask the monks to chant sutras and pray for her. The old lady has always liked it." Xu did not forget to instruct Lu Yuanze.
"I'll take you there." Lu Yuanze said hurriedly.
Pei was furious: "You just have bad intentions. When you came here today, you made our family restless. You are a troublemaker, you are a troublemaker. Master, she did it on purpose!" Why doesn't anyone believe me, Xu did it on purpose!
"Master, don't go!" Pei held Lu Yuanze back.
"She deliberately disturbed our family's peace. She did it on purpose!"
Xu's expression was indifferent and she didn't want to pay any attention at all.
Lu Yuanze scolded coldly: "Nonsense, don't I know who Yunniang is? I have slept with her for eighteen years, do I need you to tell me who she is!"
He pushed the hysterical Pei away and personally escorted Xu out.
Xu glanced at Lu Chaochao in her arms, but the little guy didn't shed a single tear.
Although he is very young, he is very shrewd.
Lu Yuanze walked beside Xu, and it seemed that he had not enjoyed a moment of peace for a long time. Since the divorce, there has always been noise at home, countless family affairs, and endless justice.
I once devoted myself to official duties, but now I have been entangled in trivial matters.
"Yunniang, you are still the best. You manage the house in order. She can't compare to you." He secretly looked at Xu's expression.
Xu chuckled, "Really?"
"Lu Yuanze, this was something you personally requested after you removed us from the family tree."
Lu Yuanze drooped his eyebrows slightly. Xu had liked him for eighteen years. Could she really cut off her feelings for him?
Does she still have me in her heart?
Yes, she gave birth to three sons and one daughter, and it was impossible for another man to accept her.
Children, it is good to have a biological father after all!
Lu Yuanze was secretly delighted.
But this secret joy was broken as soon as I reached the door.
