Xie Qiao would treat her guests very well, even if she did not like Ms. Lu. In her opinion, this person had already been chased out, so she had nothing to do with the Xie family. She did not need to target her.
Her attitude was very calm, but in the eyes of Ms. Lu, it was more than good enough.
Ms. Lu initially thought that Xie Qiao hated her so much back then. Now that she saw her, she would definitely taunt her, but she did not!
The more polite Xie Qiao was, the more uncomfortable Ms. Lu felt.
She only felt that she had missed out on too many things!
“Young Lady, I heard that you… are going to marry Wen Lancheng, the top scorer in finance?” Ms. Lu rubbed her hands, looking more and more uneasy.
She was very flustered, and her gaze could not help but look at this familiar environment.
If she had not always done wrong in the past, she would be living in this house now, living a comfortable life as the madam.
She would not be watched by the steward with guarded eyes like she was now.
When Xie Qiao heard that, she frowned slightly. “Who did you hear it from?”
Ms. Lu’s voice was soft. “Young Lady… I’m here because I have nothing else to ask of you… It’s just that my daughter Yue’er has gone to be Master Wen’s concubine. I knew that you can’t be bothered with that, but can you let her be the wife instead?”
“You’ve got the wrong person. I’m not going to marry Wen Lancheng.” Xie Qiao was very direct. At that moment, she was in a good mood, she added, “You should know better than anyone else about your own daughter’s temper and character. If she insists on doing something, even if eight horses were to pull her, she would not listen to what others say. Although I don’t know why she wants to be a concubine, with her arrogant personality, I’m afraid that she has another motive for going through a lot of troubles to be a concubine.”
That Pei Wanyue did not even take a fancy to the Gulan Academy, how could she take a fancy to the position of a concubine?
Before she went to the Royal Academy, she should have been doing well in the Gulan Academy. Her schemes…
It should not be too difficult for her to marry someone who had achieved fame and status, right?
Moreover, the mother and daughter had so much wealth in their hands!
“You’re not going to marry Wen Lancheng?!” Ms. Lu was shocked when she heard that. “Yue’er said that you… sigh!”
Ms. Lu was a little speechless and held it in for a while, suddenly, she cried and said, “I thought that she’s comparing herself with you all the time and wanted to make you upset. That’s why she was willing to be a concubine. If you don’t marry Wen Lancheng, then what exactly is her motive?!”
Ms. Lu could not understand. She really could not understand no matter how she thought about it!
Xie Qiao was silent.
They were not a family. She did not care about this matter.
Ms. Lu was crying and exhausted.
At that moment, Xie Niushan came back in a hurry with a woman.
They arrived in front of Xie Qiao and Ms. Lu.
The woman looked delicate and pretty. She was about 20 years old. She was wearing a plain green dress and looked somewhat pitiful.
Standing next to the bear-like Xie Niushan, she looked like a thin little green snake standing next to a grizzly bear.
“Why are you here? I don’t have any silver for you!” Xie Niushan was very direct. When he saw Ms. Lu, he snorted and despised her very much.
Ms. Lu’s heart ached. “I just heard about the wedding of the First Young Lady…”
“What wedding? There’s no wedding! Is it that scheming, vicious daughter of yours who is telling you nonsense again? If you ruin my daughter’s reputation, even if the officials personally stop me, I will chop her alive! What the hell!” Xie Niushan’s face was furious.
Ms. Lu had witnessed Xie Niushan’s anger many times in the past. At that time, she only felt that Xie Niushan was vulgar.
Now, she felt that he was protecting his daughter!
If they were not divorced, although she would not be able to compare with his children now, she would be one of the people that he protected!
