?
Ye Zhen stared at the dried noodles on the table. How could this be?
Was the rumor true? She had never divined Mo Rongzhan's horoscope before. Although she tried to calculate her own, she couldn't. She really didn't expect that Mo Rongzhan's fortune was really evil!
Could it be that what the abbot said about her was also true?
She pushed away all the dried herbs on the table and pretended that she hadn't divined anything today. Anyway, she didn't want to believe that she couldn't marry Mo Rongzhan. Wouldn't that tie her to him?
Ye Zhen put away the dried herbs and the tortoiseshell and asked Yu Ping to prepare hot water for her. She took a comfortable bath. She would go to the Thousand Gold House tomorrow to find Hong Ling. How was her preparation going?
The next day, Ye Zhen went to pay her respects to the old madam. When she was about to go out, Lu Fang came. (Translated by: Translated by WuRuonovel.com)
Seeing Lu Fang's completely different temperament and attitude from usual, Ye Zhen was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, she stayed in the upper room and looked at Lu Fang's lofty appearance.
"Grandmother, please don't blame me for coming to see you today. I have no choice. There are a lot of things in the family that I have to take care of. I have to arrange everything before I go out." Lu Fang's face was full of guilt, but she felt that she had never vented her anger like this. Finally, it was her turn to exhale. Finally, she didn't have to suffer the anger of the Lu family anymore.
Now the Lu family was just a merchant family. Even if she didn't marry well, she was still the wife of a marquis. In front of everyone in the Lu family, she could put on a high and mighty posture.
Since the day she got married, she had been looking forward to the day when the Lu family would beg her. The opportunity had finally come. Her heart was filled with indescribable joy.
Old Madam Lu lowered her eyes and didn't even look at Lu Fang. She just said faintly, "You are considerate."
"Grandmother, how is eldest brother now? It's really worrying that such a thing happened in the family. What should we do? Is the Lu family going to be like this in the future? " Asked Lu Fang-er anxiously. She appeared to be extremely worried, which was completely different from what she had been doing these past few days. That made it seem like she was rejoicing in his misfortune.
Pei shi, who was at the side, couldn't help but feel displeased when she heard this. She said calmly, "No matter what happens to the Lu family, they are still your maiden family, second grandaunt."
Lu Fang-er smiled. "Third aunt, what do you mean by that? I naturally wish for the Lu family to be well."
"Then you don't have to worry about the Lu Family. They've only lost their Marquis title. Who can guarantee that in the future, your brother won't be conferred a Marquis title due to his military exploits?" Pei shi smiled.
Old Madam Lu heard Mrs. Pei's words and smiled. She felt that this third daughter-in-law was much smarter than Mrs. Liu. "Xiangzhi is now Tanhua. His future is limitless. Can't he fight for the Lu family?"
The smile in Pei shi's eyes deepened. "Mother, you really think too highly of that boy. I just heard him say this morning that the matter of him being sent out has already been confirmed. He's going to Golden Tree City to be the county magistrate."
Old Madam Lu's eyes lit up. "This is a good vacancy!"
"Whether it's good or not, we can't say anything about it now. It's up to Xiangzhi to make a name for himself." Pei shi said with a smile.
"With Old Xu as his teacher, it will not be bad." Old Madam Lu was really happy. She was happy to see her grandson become successful.
Lu Fang-er's face was not so good. She came to the Lu family to let them curry favor with her, not to see them show off these things in front of her.
"I haven't congratulated Yao Yao yet. I heard that you will be an empress in the future." Lu Fang-er turned her attention to Ye Zhen, who had been silent all this time.
What noble fate? What mother of the country? What a joke! Now that Lu Lingzhi has been stripped of his title, will the emperor still marry the sister of a sinner?
Now, she was just waiting for Lu Yaoyao to be stripped of her title as a princess. Then, she would see what the Lu Clan could hope for.
Ye Zhen deliberately smiled brightly. She looked at Lu Fang-er shyly. "Second sister, don't talk nonsense. There is no definite news yet."
"The rumors outside are all true. Can it be false?" Lu Fang-er covered her mouth and laughed. "If you really have such luck in the future, don't forget to help your sisters."
Ye Rou smiled and said, "Of course. Not everyone can hit someone when they're down."
Lu Fang-er looked coldly at Lu Yaoyao's beautiful and moving face, unable to hide her jealousy. "Third sister is devastatingly beautiful. In the future, she will definitely be favored by the emperor like Bao Si."
"Second sister, you really think too highly of me. If I were half as good as Bao Si, I would be satisfied. I'm afraid I don't have the luck to be someone else's stepmother." Ye Zhen said with a smile. "Not everyone has the ability to be a beauty that can bring disaster to the country and people. In terms of appearance … second sister is far from it."
"Lu Yaoyao, don't think that you can look down on others just because you are a little beautiful!" Lu Fang-er shouted angrily. She was not as good-looking as the other sisters, but now her status was the highest. What was the use of being good-looking?
Ye Zhen looked at her with a smile. "I don't look down on others."
She just looked down on this self-righteous Lu Fang-er.
Lu Fang-er was not a fool. Naturally, she heard the meaning behind Ye Zhen's words. She looked at Old Madam Lu angrily, expecting the old madam to speak for her. Now that she was the person the Lu family needed to curry favor with, would the old madam let her suffer any grievances?
"Fang-er, didn't you say that you were busy at home? Go back quickly. Don't lower yourself to Yao Yao's level. She is just too straightforward. "Old Madam Lu waved her hand and said.
Lu Fang-er was speechless, her face flushed.
"Grandmother, I came here today because I was concerned about you. Since the people in the family are not happy to see me, I will come less in the future." Lu Fang-er stood up with a sullen face and stiffly saluted Old Madam Lu. Without looking at Pei Shi and Ye Zhen, she turned and walked out.
Old Madam Lu shook her head and sighed. "That's how aunty was raised."
"Mother, the younger generation is not sensible. Don't worry about it." Pei Shi comforted the old madam.
"Why should I care about her? Whether we live a good life or not, we know the temperature of the water we drink. I don't think our life is bad now. Who can say that there is no chance for us to make a comeback?" Old Madam Lu said.
Ye Zhen looked at the old madam silently, thinking that it was not easy for the Lu family to make a comeback now, especially the Lu family's business in Jinkou City. It was basically irretrievable. In a few days, the news should be out of the bag.
In addition to uprooting the Lu family's business, she also asked Hong Ling to send someone to follow Lu Lingzhi.
She wanted to cripple him to prevent future troubles.
Keeping him alive was to repay the Lu family's kindness in raising her sister. Crippling Lu Lingzhi was to avenge the hatred of being poisoned to death.
