Chapter 11 - Family matters

Lu Ruoqing stopped in her tracks.

The Grand Lord Yun deliberately sighed and lied, "It's all Jiao Rui's fault."

Lu Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, "Jiao Rui?"

"Yeah, Jiao Rui was punished for stealing Zheng Er's jade, but decided to randomly crawl and bite, and said that you ordered her to steal it, so Zheng Er stupidly believed it."

Jade pendant? Jiao Rui? Hehe, it's all bullshit!

Lu Ruoqing was very clear about this in her heart.

Since Lu Zhenger was spreading rumors everywhere to ruin her innocence, and with Wang Guanmei as a witness, she would definitely be scolded badly by the Grand Lord Yun, which was why he held a grudge against her in her heart.

Just now, Lu Zhenger had wanted to confront her, but she was pulled away by her.

Grandmother was talking nonsense.

But right now, she was being disturbed by the King Huan and Xiao Shaoxuan, so she didn't have time to bother with Lu Zhenger for the time being.

Thus, he followed his grandmother's instructions and nodded, "So that's how it is."

Grand Lord Yun replied: "Just like this, a small misunderstanding."

Lu Ruoqing smiled and said: "Since it's a misunderstanding, then I'm not worried."

She appeared to be very reasonable and had the demeanor of a lady from a noble family; she seemed to be impeccable.

Grand Lord Yun wanted to praise him a little to ease the atmosphere.

Lu Ruoqing continued: "It's just that Zheng Ermeimei is still young and her mind is uncertain, so it's hard to avoid being coaxed by the treacherous servants."

The Grand Lord Yun nodded, "Yes."

Lu Ruoqing laughed, "When Grandmother finds the time, pick a few more girls to give to Zheng Ermeimei, so as to avoid any more misunderstandings."

These words seemed to say Lu Zhenger was stupid.

Grand Lord Yun's smile was a little stiff.

Lu Ruoqing did not wait for her grandmother's thoughts any longer, she stood up and said her goodbyes.

"I brought red bean cake for my aunt and candy for Zheng Ermeimei. I also sent it to them on the way."

She smiled sweetly, "Just nice, I can even explain a few words to Zheng Ermeimei."

Grand Lord Yun's eyebrows twitched, she immediately ordered her trusted aide to escort him: "Gui mother, help Ruoqing to bring the things over."

"Sigh." Mama Gui immediately followed.

Lu Ruoqing knew clearly in her heart that Grand Lord Yun was afraid that Lu Zhenger would say something wrong, so she intentionally made Gui mother follow to keep an eye on him.

He just couldn't be bothered to expose her.

In any case, she was not in a hurry to make things difficult for Lu Zhenger.

Lu Ruoqing went to the warm pavilion at the back.

"Ruoqing is here." Today, the smile on her face was especially warm.

"Auntie, you bought the red bean cake." Lu Ruoqing also smiled sweetly, as if she was in a good mood.

"Aiya, sorry to trouble you."

Mrs. Yun Lu was slightly relieved, and said exaggeratedly: "You've been gone for half a day, you must be tired, right? I just had that little girl drink a little bit of that martial arts Da Hong Pao. It's just right for me to moisten my throat. "

"Thank you, Aunt." Lu Ruoqing smiled politely, but did not really drink his tea.

Instead, he took out his candy, "This …" I brought it for Zheng Ermeimei. "

"Sure." Madam Yun's smile froze for a moment.

"Where's Zheng Ermeimei?" Lu Ruoqing deliberately asked.

"Err …" A flash of confusion appeared in Mrs. Yun Lu's eyes, then she forced a laugh: "Aiya, Ruoqing, you're really considerate."

She forced a lie, "Zheng Er, she's sleeping. When she wakes up, I'll call her to thank you."

Lu Ruoqing laughed secretly in her heart.

She pursed her lips and laughed, "Alright, then I will wait for Zheng Ermeimei to wake up before eating. I will go back first."

Mrs. Yun Lu quickly escorted her out, "Ruoqing, go slowly."

Only after they left did he secretly heave a sigh of relief.

However, just as he turned back to his room, he saw Lu Zhenger rushing out.

The atmosphere in the room was not good, so the girls all left while touching each other.

"I won't eat what she bought! Who cares?! "

Lu Zhenger grabbed the candy and threw it.

She scolded, "Smile well in front of your face. Turn around and use a knife to poison him. He's just like a smiling tiger!"

As a result, the sweet cake broke and splashed the syrup all over her dress.

Lu Zhenger was even more infuriated.

"Enough!" What madness? "

"Then it was your fault in the first place. Why are you still throwing a tantrum?"

"Are you blaming me?"

"Like what your grandmother said, if the rumors were to spread, Ruoqing's reputation will be ruined."

"But I did not send anyone to find Wang Guanmei!" Lu Zhenger shouted angrily.

"If it's not you, then who else could it be?" The Yunlu clan was also unhappy.

"It's her!" It's her! "

Lu Zhenger gnashed her teeth, and said fiercely: "She must have heard that the servants were gossiping, so she intentionally sent people to find Wang Guanmei, and then joined forces to frame me …"

"Enough!" Madam Yun Lu interrupted with a shout.

I asked: "Is Ruoqing crazy? She sent her men to look for Wang Guanmei, saying that her reputation was broken? Was her brain flooded? This is ridiculous! "

Lu Zhenger was so angry that she wanted to cry, "She just wants to set me up! I was wrong. "

"You're still innocent?"

"Jiao Rui has admitted it. You were the one who bribed the little girls down there, causing them to go around and vilify Ruoqing's reputation. Do you still want to deny it?"

Lu Zhenger cried: "I was the one who did this, but …. I really didn't look for Wang Guanmei. "

Seeing her intense reaction, Madam Yun Lu couldn't help but waver, "It's really not you?"

Lu Zhenger shouted, "It's not me, not me!"

"But it can't be Ruoqing."

"Can't be? If what you said is true, that Ruoqing is still so young, then... Wouldn't she become a monster if she were to scheme against people? "

Especially since Lu Ruoqing still acted casually today, as if she didn't know anything at all.

How deep must one's shrewdness be to be able to do this?

Lu Zhenger cried in anger, "That's her! I said she was shrewd. "

The Yunlu family still found it hard to believe, they shook their heads, "No! I think that the little girl probably took the rumors seriously and wanted to talk to Wang Guanmei. "

Lu Zhenger stomped her feet in anger, "It's her! It's her! "

"Stop messing around."

"Think about it, if Ruoqing knew that you had tarnished her reputation, how could she not be angry at you at all?"

She analyzed, "Look …" Just now, she even sent you a sweet cake. "

Lu Zhenger said angrily: "That's why I said she's a smiling face tiger!"

Yun Lu scolded angrily, "Just make it up."

"Woo woo …" Lu Zhenger was extremely wronged.

She choked with sobs, "Anyway, she is not a good person, maybe …" Maybe I'll go out today to find some wild men. "

"Pah!" Yun Lu slapped the table.

She pointed at Lu Zhenger and scolded him fiercely: "What wild man? Is that what the girl said? If others were to hear it, they would say that you are uncultured. Do you understand? Be more brainy! "

Lu Zhenger trembled in fear.

"You're not allowed to say anything like that anymore, do you remember?!"

Lu Zhenger was full of grievance, and sobbed: "Wuuuuu …. I, I'll remember. "

At that moment, she wished she could kill Lu Ruoqing with her own hands!

Shred her into a thousand pieces!

Inside the Dark Bamboo Restaurant, it was quiet and serene.

"I heard that after young miss left, Second Miss rushed out crying and making a ruckus, and even threw the candy young miss bought."

Lu Ruoqing sneered: "She, is only so capable of being so disrespectful and rolling around."

"What's the hurry?" Lu Ruoqing waved her hand and instructed: "Send someone to find out more about Jiao Rui."

"Oh, okay." The fragrance of the medicine was completely convinced of the capabilities of her young miss, so she left without asking any questions.

Soon, the results came out.

"Not only was Jiao Rui beaten up, the old lady also said to kick her out."

"But the Second Miss didn't agree. As she was being soft with the Old Granny, she still decided to keep Jiao Rui here."

Lu Ruoqing chuckled, "It's good to stay."

The fragrance of the medicine was unclear, "Alright? "What's better?"

Lu Ruoqing did not explain further.

Instead, he said: "Just now, Grandmother said that Jiao Rui slandered me and told her to steal Zheng Ermeimei's jade pendant, that's why she misunderstood me."

"Huh?" Yao Xiang was shocked, "How is that possible? It's not like that at all. "

"So." Lu Ruoqing said with a complicated smile.

"Jiao Rui definitely does not know about this, find a woman to bring food to her and let her know who is the culprit."

In that case, Jiao Rui would definitely hate Lu Zhenger and would stay in the Lu Family, so if there was a chance in the future, she could use it.

Yao Xiang agreed. "Alright, we'll do it right away."

Lu Ruoqing did not place Lu Zhenger in her eyes at all.

Her mind was currently being surrounded by King Huan and Xiao Shaoxuan.

I wonder if the people from the King Huan managed to catch the carriage driver?

If they caught them, would they be able to find Xiao Shaoxuan?

Hehe, it would be best if both sides had already started fighting. It would be better if they could stab each other a few times.

The corner of Lu Ruoqing's mouth hooked into a cold smile.

"Miss, Madam has woken up." The girl outside shouted.

"Yes." When Lu Ruoqing returned just now, Mrs. Gu was taking a afternoon nap, so she did not disturb her mother's rest.

At that moment, the hatred in his eyes disappeared and was replaced with a gentle look.

When he finally went to see his mother, he said, "Mother, you're awake."

Mrs. Gu had just gotten some sleep and her complexion looked good. She asked: "Did you eat out at noon?"

Lu Ruoqing laughed: "En, I was greedy and went to Amphibiscus."

"Your brother also loves going to the Amphibiscus."

The Mrs. Gu followed up with a sigh. "Sigh, I found out that he's been studying at Songshan Academy. Once a month, she's only seen a few times every year."

Lu Ruoqing had an idea, and said: "I have to go to King Huan to take care of King Huan next month, so I might as well use this opportunity to call brother back."

She smiled sweetly. "First, accompany mother at home, and then accompany me to the King Huan's Estate. It just so happens that we meet a few scholars and scholars.

Mrs. Gu's eyes immediately lit up, and nodded her head, "This idea is not bad."

Lu Ruoqing laughed: "I know you miss your big brother."

The Mrs. Gu teased, "This little sister doesn't want to?"

"Of course I want to."

Lu Ruoqing pursed her lips and laughed, "There's nothing I can do, since I only have such a big brother."

As he said this, he couldn't help but think of his younger brother from his previous life.

She was worried for her mother's health and wanted to say something but hesitated. She wanted to persuade her mother to remember about contraception.

However, Mrs. Gu sighed with emotion first, "But speaking of it, you can't be considered to be young anymore."

Lu Ruoqing was confused, "What's wrong?"

"Your marriage."

Mrs. Gu looked at his daughter, she was already like a phoenix falling down to the bottom of the lake, a moon-shedding flower. She was officially a good age for marriage.

But the marriage wasn't over yet, how could he not be anxious?

Thus, with a worried expression, he said: "Earlier, when you were playing and joking with Wen Zhu, I stopped you. But seriously think about it, I really should choose a good marriage for you."

Good marriage? Lu Ruoqing thought back to the tragic memories of her previous life, and her feelings became complicated.

"I am a useless person."

Mrs. Gu was a little sad: "Your brother might be able to read, but he is still young, and only has the title of High Scholar.

The more he said, the more sad he became, "You know, I've always been sick. All these years I've just been buying ginseng and bird's nest, and I've already eaten a lot of dowry."

Lu Ruoqing's emotions were complicated.

Mother had a clear and upright temperament, so she was unwilling to spend the official's money to buy ginseng and deer antlers. She didn't want the Lu family to gossip and affect her and her brother.

Therefore, other than the year when she first fell ill, when she used ginseng and other precious medicinal herbs, her mother always used her own money to pay for the dowry.

But, in exchange for this virtue? The heavens had taken his mother's life!

The Heavenly Dao is unfair.
