Mrs. Liu stroked the jewels and said with a greedy smile: "The things in front of you were given by him."
"What?" Lu Mingzhu looked at Liu in disbelief: "What is the background of Mr. Xiao? Such a big deal?"
"Not only that, but he also sent two thousand taels of silver." Ms. Liu's eyebrows raised slightly, and when she thought of the white money in the room, she was so excited that she couldn't calm down for a long time.
After following Lu Youping for so many years, she had never seen so much money and jewelry. Even now, Mrs. Liu still feels like she is dreaming.
Lu Mingzhu's pupils dilated: "Mom, he is clearly bribing you, what does he want you to do for him?"
Mrs. Liu picked up a pair of gold bracelets and slowly put them on Lu Mingzhu's arms.
"Xiao Muheng is a businessman. He gave me so many things, firstly so that I can speak for him in front of your father in the future, and secondly, for Lu Xiang."
"For Lu Xiang? What do you mean?" Lu Mingzhu raised her hand and looked repeatedly at the pair of gold bracelets shining in the sun, her eyes filled with joy.
"He fell in love with Lu Xiang and begged me to find an opportunity for him to heroically save the beauty, so that he could win her heart and achieve a beautiful marriage," said Liu.
Xiao Muheng is a shrewd person and knows who in this house can speak the most in front of the master.
Lu Mingzhu's expression suddenly changed after hearing Mrs. Liu's words. She looked at Mrs. Liu angrily and said: "Mom, are you crazy? That little bitch Lu Xiang has plotted against us. How can you agree to this?"
The man surnamed Xiao acted as a matchmaker for him. If this really happened, wouldn't Lu Xiang enjoy endless blessings in her life? How could this be possible? I want her to live a life worse than death."
Just asking her mother to do something and giving her so many good things, how rich is the Xiao family?
If Lu Xiang was allowed to marry Xiao Muheng, she would be in a golden nest. When Lu Mingzhu thought of Lu Xiang wearing gold and silver, her eyes turned red with jealousy. How could she let Lu Xiang live such a comfortable life?
She wished Lu Xiang would marry someone who had fallen into disgrace.
Mrs. Liu looked at the furious Ning Yuxian in front of her and sighed secretly. When could she get rid of this sudden problem and become more stable? If she could have Lu Xiang's scheming, why would she worry about being plotted against her?
.
But after all, she is her only daughter. Mrs. Liu patiently advised: "Do you think my mother is doing this to make her happy? Although Xiao Muheng is young and wealthy, he is just a businessman after all..."
"Your father will go to Beijing next year to report on his work, and your aunt is a concubine. The Lu family will only become more prosperous in the future. How can you agree to your daughter marrying into a merchant family? Your father is very concerned about face."
Lu Mingzhu pouted: "Since dad won't agree to this marriage, why do you still accept his things and do things for him?"
What's wrong with the merchants? My father didn't get much wealth even after he became the prefect.
Without money, no matter how high-ranking an official is, he can only eat porridge and pickles. If it were her, she would rather marry a merchant than live a miserable life.
If Mrs. Liu knew what Lu Mingzhu was thinking at this moment, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood.
She wanted to find a wealthy family for her daughter, but her daughter was short-sighted.
"Also, Qiao Jingru is also from a merchant family. Why did dad let the eldest brother marry her?"
Mrs. Liu stretched out her hand and poked Lu Mingzhu's forehead: "Are you stupid, you don't take the money that comes to your door? Anyway, I'm just setting up a bridge for Xiao Muzheng, and then it depends on his own ability. Not to mention what I want.
It's just that your father doesn't agree. If Lu Xiang makes a noise and refuses to marry anyone other than Xiao Muheng, no matter what the result is, her behavior will make your father and the old lady angry. The old lady dotes on her so much, and she might get angry when the time comes.
I am so angry at Lu Xiang."
Even if the old woman is not angry to death, she will be very angry when she sees her beloved granddaughter marrying a businessman. It will be much easier to kill her then. As long as the old woman is dead,
Her biggest stumbling block was gone.
As long as she becomes the mistress, Lu Xiang will be at her disposal, and her daughter will also be a distinguished legitimate daughter. She will marry into a noble family in the capital, and will have power, status and money. Lu Xiang will only be able to look up to her.
"Although Qiao Jingru was born as a merchant, her ancestors came from a book town. Now her eldest brother is doing business. The other brothers are all devoted themselves to scientific examinations. Their net worth is better than that of Xiao Muheng. And your eldest brother is a concubine.
It's not an insult for Qiao Jingru to match him." Although the master may look down on businessmen, he cannot do without the support of money.
It's just that as Lu Xiang is the only legitimate daughter of the Lu family, the master and the old lady are absolutely not willing for her to marry into a merchant.
Lu Mingzhu's face improved a little when she thought that Lu Xiang was disgusted by both the old lady and her father.
"But if dad agrees in the end, Lu Xiang will marry into a good family." For this reason alone, Lu Mingzhu felt very uncomfortable.
"Is it okay to be a lowly merchant's wife? When we enter the capital, you will become the legitimate daughter of the Lu family. Are you afraid that the niece of the concubine will not be able to find a good marriage? By then, it will not be a problem even in the palace of the Duke and the Marquis.
Think about it, what did Lu Xiang mean to you at that time? As long as you moved your fingers a little, she would be crushed or flattened by you, so what's the difficulty?"
Mrs. Liu said, a vicious look appeared on her beautiful face, and those two cold eyes seemed to be filled with venom.,
If Lu Xiang is obedient and uses more money to honor her, she can avoid being raped and not take her life. If she is disobedient, well, she doesn't mind finding another obedient person to marry into the Xiao family.
How vicious the Liu family was to have plotted against Lu Xiang's reputation, and then used her as a commodity to trade, teaming up with the poisonous snake to manipulate her life.
"Really?" When Lu Mingzhu heard that she was marrying into a prince's family, a bright light suddenly burst out. Thinking of how she would be so high in the future and Lu Xiang would crawl under his feet and let her be humiliated and trampled on, her heart suddenly became balanced.
Mrs. Liu raised her hand and caressed Lu Mingzhu's tender face. The skin under her hand was smooth and delicate, and her lips were like cherry blossoms, burning like hibiscus.
"You will have haircut next year, and you will be as beautiful as a peach or plum among all living beings. Mother must find a good future for you."
Lu Mingzhu's smile was as bright as a flower, and her eyes narrowed into a thin line: "Thank you, mother." As soon as she finished speaking, she threw herself into Mrs. Liu's arms and acted coquettishly, constantly describing the blueprint for future happiness in her mind.
…
The sun was shining brightly, and a carriage slowly drove into the street. The curtains were lowered to block the noise outside.
Lu Xiang sat lazily in the car, with Yun Zhe and Wu Yue accompanying him.
"Miss, what kind of materials do you need to go to Jinxiu Silk and Satin Factory in person? All you have to do is ask them to send the best fabrics to your house for you to take a look at." Yun Zhe said.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I want to go to the bookstore and buy a few books. I'll check them out on the way."
Lu Xiang chuckled and said, "How can you do what Liu wants if you don't go out?"
He actually came to her to show his kindness without any interruption. It was really hard for Mrs. Liu to endure her father's arrangement and ask her to take her and Lu Mingzhu to pick out some new pieces of fabric.
She wanted to see what Liu wanted to do in the name of her father.
