Lu Mingxuan looked at his sister and suddenly realized that there was a great hatred hidden under her smile, but he did not notice it at all. Although he did not know what kind of grievances his sister had suffered, he naturally thought of Miss Chen and his expression became more and more solemn.
Wanqiu patted his head." If Mother was still alive, she wouldn't have asked you to make a name for yourself. It's fine as long as you study hard and become a motivated person." Sister doesn't want you to get involved in any hatred now. I'll take care of everything in the family, understand?”
"I'll listen to you, Sister." He nodded heavily.”
Wan Qiu nodded and said to Zhilan, who had been guarding the curtain,""Go prepare some pastries."
Zhilan answered and left. Lu Mingxuan asked curiously,""Sister, where are you going?"
Wanqiu smiled." I went to see my second sister. She was accidentally knocked down by Xiangling and fell. I don't know how her injuries are."”
Lu Mingxuan snorted and pouted.""Sister, why are you paying attention to her? She's not a good person like her mother. She's been fanning the flames behind her back!”
Wanqiu shook her head and looked at her younger brother helplessly. What a child. Lu Mingxuan said a few more words and seeing that she did not change her mind, he said,""Then I'll go with you, lest they bully you when I'm not around!”
Wan Qiu could not help but laugh. Hearing this childish words, she was deep in thought. Should she bring Xuan 'er along? That was a good idea.
When they arrived at the Xingyun Pavilion, Wan Qiu asked Zhilan to find someone to pass the message. She then brought Lu Mingxuan to wait in the corridor. The room was quiet. She clearly saw someone enter to report, but there was no sound for a long time.
After a while, the servant girl came out with an embarrassed expression and said,"Young miss, second miss is resting. Why don't you come back later?”
Rest? Was he supposed to take an afternoon nap? Lu Mingxuan's expression turned strange.""Sister, let's go. You came to see her with good intentions, but she doesn't appreciate it!”
Wan Qiu smiled faintly and shouted from outside the door,""Sister, Xuan 'er and I were worried about your injuries and specially came to see you. Are you better?”
They heard something in the room shatter on the floor. Then, Lu Wanling rushed out angrily and pointed at Wanqiu's nose. She said coldly,""Crying crocodile tears! Are you here to laugh at me?"
Wan Qiu saw that she was still very mindful of her young lady's demeanor in the garden, but now it was as if she had torn off her mask. She immediately guessed that she was probably injured somewhere and became angry out of embarrassment.
" Second Sister, you've misunderstood," Lu Mingxuan explained." Eldest Sister and I…"
"Misunderstanding? Look at my arm!" Lu Wanling sneered and rolled up her sleeve. She saw that her elbow had indeed been scratched and a short bloody scar could be vaguely seen.
"Lu Wanqiu, you deliberately instructed your girl to hit me. Are you deliberately trying to disfigure me?”
Such a small injury could be considered a deliberate murder? Disfigured? Wan Qiu smiled." Ling 'er, you're in the wrong. We came to see you because we care about you. How can you say that?" This will make people sad."
Lu Wanling had always taken great care of her body, afraid that she would leave a scar on her arm. When she heard this, she immediately flew into a rage."I like to say that. So what? Now that I've been harmed by your servant girl, you have to compensate me!”Lu Wanling approached her step by step as she spoke. Wanqiu retreated step by step and said with a stern face,""How do we compensate? Do you want me to have another scar on my body? Second Sister, we are biological sisters, don't say such ridiculous things…"
Wanqiu's expression was gentle, but Lu Wanling saw a look of contempt and provocation in her eyes. She was instantly enraged. She recalled that she had been feeling extremely aggrieved by her grandmother's cold treatment recently and immediately threw Miss Chen's warning to the back of her mind. She lost her cool and said angrily,""Who's your biological sister…you vicious woman! Are you even worthy?" Ignoring Qiu Yue who was chasing after her, he raised his hand and swung it at Wan Qiu's face.
Just as her hand was about to touch Wan Qiu's face, Wan Qiu screamed and staggered to the ground.
"Don't touch my sister!" Lu Mingxuan raised his hand and pounced on Lu Wanling. Wanqiu gave her a look. Zhilan and Mother Zhang understood and quickly held him back. The box of pastries that they were holding fell to the ground and the pastries shattered.
"What are you doing!" At this moment, Lu Shiyuan's thunderous voice sounded at the entrance of the courtyard. He had heard the argument between the two sisters from afar, and he did not expect to see such a scene when he came in.
Wan Qiu took the initiative to stand up by herself. Her eyes were filled with surprise and she looked aggrieved."Father, why are you here? It's okay, it's okay. Sister is just playing with us!”
Lu Shiyuan didn't say a word. He rushed forward and gave Lu Wanling a tight slap. He stood there with a livid face and pointed at her, trembling in anger."Little bastard! How dare you talk to your sister like this in front of the servants and even hit her! What a disgrace! Do you want to embarrass our Lu Residence? What about the family rules? Bring the family law!"
Lu Wanling's face was filled with tears. She covered her face and glared at Wanqiu."I'm not done with you!" At that moment, she really hated Wanqiu and wanted to tear her into eight pieces. If she was not afraid of Lu Shiyuan, she would have pounced on him.
Miss Chen, who was following behind, immediately stepped forward and held Lu Shiyuan's arm tightly."Master, don't be angry. Ling 'er is still a child!”
"She's a child?" Lu Shiyuan was furious. Which child would dare to hit his own sister!”He pushed Miss Chen's hand away and scolded her,"Are you blind? You said that she fell on her head and fainted. Nonsense! Look at how energetic she is, beating and scolding her! I'm so angry!"
Wanqiu suppressed the cold smile in her heart. She had long guessed that Miss Chen would tell Lu Shiyuan about this matter as soon as possible to sow discord. It was clearly just a light bump that might really cause some serious injury and coma. Lu Shiyuan had always doted on Lu Wanling, so he would definitely rush over to take a look.
As long as Lu Wanling pretended to be half-dead and said that she had deliberately hurt someone, he would really be unable to defend himself.
Miss Chen had probably told Lu Wanling to be patient, but she had pestered her time and time again to visit. As expected, Lu Wanling could not hold back anymore and revealed her true colors. Lu Shiyuan and the others who had rushed over saw everything clearly.
In terms of scheming, Lu Wanling was far inferior to Miss Chen!
Lu Shiyuan deeply felt that he had been fooled. He turned around and wanted to get angry, but he saw Miss Chen's face was pale, and her eyelashes were filled with tears. She was on the verge of collapse. Thinking that she was still recuperating, Lu Shiyuan was so angry that he could not say a word.
"It's all my fault. I've let down Master's trust.”Miss Chen lowered her head, feeling wronged. Crystal tears dripped down her face, and her voice started to become louder and louder. Her body swayed twice, and she leaned towards Li Xiang, causing a wave of screams and cries."Aiya, Madam fainted!"
