When they went out, Wanqiu went out first while Lu Wanjing accompanied the Old Madam.
Lu Wanning naturally stuck to Lu Wanling and walked with her.
As soon as she came out, she found Wanqiu standing in the corridor with a smile on her face, waiting for Lu Wanling.""Sister, aren't you coming with us?"
Lu Wanling looked at her smiling eyes and gentle smile in confusion. She did not know why she felt more uneasy.
Wanqiu spoke to Lu Wanling amiably along the way, and Lu Wanling responded absentmindedly. Lu Wanning also said casually at the side.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the garden. Suddenly, a person rushed out from behind the rockery. Lu Wanling and Lu Wanning were muttering in their hearts and didn't pay attention to what had happened. Lu Wanling was knocked over and fell backward with a " ah ". She fell in a very sorry state and even her hairpin was messed up. Lu Wanning hurriedly held her, but she couldn't hold her at all and fell down as well.
Wanqiu immediately went to help them up. The maids and old women also panicked, and the garden was instantly in chaos. Lu Wanling's face was filled with anger when she was helped up. Si Qin, who was beside her, rushed up and gave the little girl two tight slaps."How do you look at the road! He actually dared to bump into Second Sister and Fourth Sister. Were his eyes blind?!”
The little girl raised her head, and there were two handprints on her face. She was so flustered that she looked like a frightened rabbit. Her eyes were red, and tears were rolling in her eyes."I…I…I didn't do it on purpose. Please forgive me, Second Miss!”
Of course, Lu Wanling and Lu Wanning were not easy to talk to. Just as they were about to flare up, they heard Wanqiu exclaim,""Xiangling, why is it you!"
Xiang Ling's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked extremely regretful.""Eldest Miss, Eldest Young Master is here. Mother Zhang asked me to invite you back. I was in a hurry and accidentally tripped. I accidentally bumped into Second Miss and Fourth Sister.”
Lu Wanling wished she could kick this impetuous girl. Lu Wanning also gnashed her teeth in hatred.
When she heard that she was in Wanqiu's courtyard, Lu Wanling was even more furious. However, Lu Wanling's anger was strangely reduced a lot. She didn't seem to hate Wanqiu as much as before. Even she found it strange.
However, he heard Wan Qiu say coldly," If you had bumped into someone else, you would definitely have been beaten up. But you're lucky. The two sisters have always been the most soft-hearted. They don't even know how to say a harsh word, let alone beat and scold the servant girl. They're famous for being kind and gentle. Hurry up and kowtow to thank them."”
Lu Wanling could not catch her breath. She was so angry that her face turned red. Xiangling really kowtowed heavily on the ground twice."Thank you for your grace, Second Miss! " Thank you, Fourth Sister, for your kindness." Lu Wanning's anger completely dissipated when he heard Wanqiu say that he was the kindest. However, when he saw Second Sister's face that was about to eat someone up, he suppressed the smile on his lips.
This pair of master and servant were in tune with each other. What was supposed to be a great sin was easily brushed off. Lu Wanling's face turned pale, but she could not flare up in front of everyone in the garden. She gripped Si Qin's arm tightly, causing her to tremble.
Wan Qiu turned her head and her face darkened. She berated the maidservants,""Hurry up and help Second Miss and Fourth Sister back to rest. Are you all stupid?”
Lu Wanling glared hatefully at Xiangling, as if she wanted to remember her appearance. Xiangling was shocked and hurriedly lowered her head. Lu Wanling had no choice but to be supported by someone.
Wan Qiu looked at her back as she left and then looked at the trembling Xiang Ling. She smiled and said to her,""Get up, you did well."
Xiang Ling was just a third-class servant girl. Miss Chen usually did not bother to rope her in. Her salary was low and she was not favored. She was also bullied by Bi Luo. Now that Wan Qiu needed her, of course, she would put on a show. Hearing Wan Qiu's words, she got up from the ground with a smile on her face. All the frustration and regret she had just now disappeared.
At this moment, Zhilan, who had been at the back, hurriedly followed. She secretly made a gesture to Wanqiu and revealed something from her sleeve. It was actually a golden phoenix hairpin.
Wan Qiu's smile deepened…
When Wanqiu went back, Lu Mingxuan was really waiting in the courtyard. Perhaps he had just returned from school, but his sleeves were still stained with ink. When he saw his sister return, his face was filled with joy."Where did Sister go?"
"It's nothing. I'm going to pay my respects to Grandmother.”Wan Qiu smiled when she saw her brother. This time, it was different. Even her eyes were smiling.
Lu Mingxuan glanced at the curtain and asked in an extremely low voice,""Sister, does the old lady have something important to say to you?”
Other than dealing with Miss Chen and her daughter, Wan Qiu had placed all her attention on her younger brother. However, she gradually realized that perhaps because she had lost her mother at a young age and lacked protection, this child's personality was a little extreme and impatient. If she did not put in her utmost effort to train him, it was very likely that she would suffer a great loss.
Hence, the smile on her face faded. She stared at the young but impatient face and asked indifferently,"What important words can there be? Don't tell me that you think that Miss Chen has been rejected by Grandmother this time and forced to hand over the power of the housekeeper, so what benefits do we have?”
"Of course. She shouldn't have taken the position of a mother in the first place!”
Lu Mingxuan was still a child after all. Wanqiu took a deep breath and sneered,""Mother's position? Since her mother was dead, she was the second wife, so it was natural for her to replace her. Miss Chen had been in charge of the residence for ten years, and the residence had long been a different world. Although the son does not speak of his father's fault, with his father's personality, he would be easily coaxed back by her. It's only been half a month. Do you really think you can use this opportunity to change the dynasty? Besides, would Grandmother give me the right to manage the company after she took it away from her? Although you and I are the son and daughter of the Di family, our mother died early. Who in this residence will sincerely help us?”
The barrage of questions stunned Lu Mingxuan. He sat there stiffly for a long time before he could say something unconvinced," Elder sister, how can you say that? You are the eldest daughter of the Di family in this residence, father's biological daughter…"
"What eldest daughter? It just sounds nice. To tell you the truth, you can have as many grandchildren as you want. In Grandmother's eyes, I'm not even as good as an easy to control Aunt An. As for Father, he will only believe Miss Chen's words. If it wasn't for the fact that she hasn't given birth to a son yet, you might not even be able to keep your position as the eldest son!”
As Lu Mingxuan listened, the surprise in her eyes increased, and there was even a hint of confusion and confusion. Wanqiu said softly,""You have to know that our biological mother died early and has no one to rely on in this family. You're also young. Even if you really snatch this power, do you think it will last for a long time?”
Lu Mingxuan was finally convinced. He could not help but look dejected."But the old lady seems to have that intention…"
"Regarding this matter, Old Madam just wants to take back a portion of power from Miss Chen's hands. At the same time, it's also to lower her prestige.”
Thinking of the old lady's behavior today, Wan Qiu had already made a judgment and continued,""Little brother, you're too young. If you were a few years older or had already made a name for yourself, your elder sister would have a way to firmly grasp the Lu Residence in her hands now. However, if you step into the battle between Miss Chen and Grandmother without knowing anything, I'm afraid the gains would not make up for the losses. Listen to your sister and don't show it on your face. Do what you should do. The more you hate her in your heart, the more you have to smile. No matter how vicious she is, she is your stepmother in name. If others see you gloating, just the words 'disobedient and unfilial' will make you consigned to eternal damnation!”
Lu Mingxuan looked at her sister in a daze. She did not know that she could say so much at once. Wanqiu could not help but gently stroke Lu Mingxuan's sideburns." Xuan 'er, a little forbearance will ruin a great plan. I promise you that when I can endure this, I will bite them to death one by one!”
