Lu Jing didn't expect Ye Zhen to be willing to say it. Although this secret recipe was not a secret, she was unwilling to lose face because of Lu Yaoyao.
"Yao Yao, I heard that you asked Third Brother and Fourth Brother to find Princess Liu Hua?" Lu Jing asked again.
In fact, Ye Zhen was a little annoyed with Lu Jing. She knew that Lu Jing didn't like her and always wanted to crush her, but she found the wrong way to do so. "Yes, debts must be paid. Since Liu Hua accepted my bet, now that I won, she naturally has to pay for it."
"After all, Princess Liu Hua is the daughter of the eldest princess. Even the emperor respects the eldest princess very much. Aren't you making the eldest princess lose face by asking them to find Princess Liu Hua? At that time, our Lu family will become enemies with their family. " Lu Jing said. She still wanted to have more contact with Princess Liu Hua, so that she could get to know more daughters of aristocratic families.
Although the Lu family now has an imperial concubine and Lu Lingzhi is also a marquis, in the eyes of the real aristocratic families, the Lu family is still looked down upon.
"If the eldest princess is afraid of losing face, she would not have let Princess Liu Hua open the bet. Since she opened the bet, she must be prepared to lose. If I don't ask Princess Liu Hua for money, she may think that I look down on her." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
Lu Jing said angrily, "You are simply twisting words and forcing logic."
"Fourth Sister, why do you always speak for outsiders? When Princess Liu Hua humiliated me, why didn't you help me? Aren't you worried that because of me, Princess Liu Hua will not associate with you? What's wrong with that? My grudge with Princess Liu Hua is our business. She will not vent her anger on you. "Ye Zhen said lightly.
Lu Fang followed, "That's right, Fourth Sister, don't worry. Besides, when the bet was made, it was Princess Liu Hua herself who agreed to it."
"You …" Lu Jing glared at them angrily. "Who do you think Princess Liu Hua is? She is the only daughter of the Eldest Princess. Even the Empress Dowager loves her very much. There are also many noble ladies in the capital who are on good terms with her. What good will it do us to become enemies with her?
"That's also true …" Lu Fang nodded immediately and looked at Ye Zhen awkwardly.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "You are also the daughters of a noble family. You are different from before. Why do you still think about how to associate with others? Now, it should be others who think about how to associate with you. The daughters of a noble family should have the bearing of a noble daughter. There is no need to deliberately please others. If you think the other party is worth associating with, then put more thought into it. If you think it is not worth it, then just nod your head.
The Lu sisters used to be the daughters of royal merchants. When they were in college, few people looked up to them. They were used to pleasing aristocratic ladies like Liu Hua. But for Ye Zhen, she was originally from an aristocratic family. She had always been superior and had her own strength of character. How could she stoop low and curry favor in front of Liu Hua?
Lu. "Lu's Ye Zhen's right. Fang. Lu Lu Zhen to her," Lu, the third sister has the most. "Ye" Li is "Sister"'s Fang, "she said," Fang, "Hua" Zhen "Hua is Lu Jing.
"If you say, I, I, you, I, I, you, you, I, I, I Qing, I, I, I, I, Lu, Lu, I, I, I, Lu, Hua.
"Second sister, let's go." Lu Jing pulled up Lu Fang and glared at Ye Zhen. "I don't agree with Third Sister's words. It's because we know that the Lu family is not easy that we want to make more friends with others so that we can forge a deep friendship. It turns out that these are humble practices in the eyes of Third Sister. Third Sister is so noble, we have learned today."
Ye Zhen let out a sigh. She didn't want to waste any more words on him.
Lu Jing took Lu Fang's hand and went to the upper room. It happened that Lu Lingzhi was talking to the old lady. "Grandmother, you have to do justice for us."
Seeing her two granddaughters coming in with a bad expression, Old Madam Lu hurriedly asked what happened.
"Third Sister is too much!" Lu Jing's eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs.
When Lu Lingzhi heard that it had something to do with Ye Zhen, he paused again.
"What's wrong with Yao Yao?" Old Madam Lu asked.
Lu Jing's eyes reddened, and she repeated Ye Zhen's words in full detail. "… Grandma, listen, Third Sister's words are slapping us in the face. Is it wrong for us to make friends with others? It's as if we are humiliating her." Lu Jing's eyes reddened.
"Yao Yao has just arrived in the capital. She is a little ignorant. Don't argue with her." Old Madam Lu said, still partial to Ye Zhen.
Lu Lingzhi said indifferently, "Yaoyao is right. Now that your statuses are different, you don't have to cater to others like before. You have to respect yourself first, and then others will respect you. You should stand on Yaoyao's side in the matter between Yaoyao and Princess Liu Hua. If you don't even help your own sister, others won't think that you're worth associating with."
Lu Jing originally wanted to take advantage of Lu Lingzhi's presence to complain about Lu Yaoyao, but she didn't expect that her eldest brother was biased towards her.
"Eldest brother, are we going to be like Third Sister and make enemies with others?" Lu Jing asked, feeling wronged.
Old Madam Lu said, "How can you make enemies with others? It seems that you should ask a Bian to come back and teach you a lesson."
"Grandmother, what else did we do wrong?" Lu Jing was a little anxious. She didn't know what she had done wrong. Lu Yaoyao was always right. She felt that her position in the Lu family was not as good as she thought.
Old Madam Lu said, "I'll teach you how to be a lady of the Hou's Mansion."
"Grandmother …" Lu Jing gritted her teeth. How was she not like a lady of the Hou's Mansion?
Lu Lingzhi thought of his third sister's words yesterday and said to Old Madam Lu with a smile, "Although Yao Yao grew up in the border town, her knowledge and bearing are not inferior to others."
Old Madam Lu didn't think that Ye Zhen's words were all right, but when she heard that her eldest grandson was so satisfied, she thought that Yao Yao must be right. The Lu family should no longer lower their status to please others.
"She was brought up by your third uncle. How bad can she be?" Old Madam Lu said with a smile.
Listening to Lu Lingzhi and Old Madam Lu's words, Lu Jing knew that no matter what she said today, it was useless. Even her eldest brother thought that Lu Yaoyao was right, so no one else would dare to say that she was wrong.
Lu Jing's resentment towards Ye Zhen grew even more.
After a while, Ye Zhen finally received the admission notice from the Women's College, and Lu Xiangzhi and his brother also asked for her money back.
There was a total of 21,000 taels. Although it was not a large number, it was really a large sum of money for Ye Zhen today.
"I still have to take 2,000 taels to return to Tang Zhen." Ye Zhen took the silver note and said to Lu Xiangzhi with a smile.
