Lu Gaofei finally put down his arm.

He turned around and said in a deep voice: "Have lunch before leaving."

After saying this, Lu Gaofei left directly. As soon as he left, Mrs. Hou recited the Buddha's name and left immediately after.

As soon as these two people left, the atmosphere changed instantly.

Mrs. He rushed over to hit Lu Jiuqing, and cursed in a dirty mouth: "You little hooves, how dare you say such unreasonable words to slander the fifth girl, let's see if I don't slap your mouth to bits!"

Lu Jiuqing took a step back, avoiding He's attack, and glanced at Lu Menghua, who was silent next to him.

"Fifth sister, look at how much she protects you. She treats you much better than she treats me, her biological daughter."

One sentence made He freeze.

Lu Menghua: "That's enough!"

He glanced at Lu Menghua, a little cautiously.

Lu Menghua glanced at Mr. He with a cold face, walked towards Lu Jiuqing, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know where I offended Sixth Sister, so that Sixth Sister was targeted like this. If it was for that piece of Shu brocade, I have been ordered not to do so by His Highness Ninth Prince. If you wear it again, Sixth Sister doesn’t have to worry about it anymore.”

"It's just a piece of Sichuan brocade, I don't take it seriously," Lu Jiuqing said lightly, "But I hate others touching my things."

Lu Menghua's pupils shrank: "What do you mean?"

Lu Jiuqing changed the subject and revealed the jade bracelet on his wrist: "I don't care about the Shu Brocade. After all... my husband gave me something else."

"He also said that this bracelet is of average quality and he will find a better one for me in the future."

Lu Menghua's expression changed as soon as he saw the bracelet, and he suddenly turned back to look at Tang Xiuyan.

Tang Xiuyan had already become anxious when Lu Jiuqing showed off the bracelet. Now he shook his head quickly: "That's not what happened. I didn't..."

"Yes, my husband didn't plan to give it to me at first. He originally prepared it for you. But when he saw that I liked it, he gave it to me. Fifth sister, aren't you angry?"

Lu Menghua gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice: "The sixth sister is a harmonious husband and wife, and the love between husband and wife is deep. What should I, an outsider, have to be angry about?"

She looked at Tang Xiuyan: "As expected of the number one scholar, his ability to coax people is truly top-notch."

After saying that, he left everyone behind and ran out with a cold face.

Tang Xiuyan pointed at Lu Jiuqing and said viciously: "Wait!"

After saying that, he didn't care much and chased after Lu Menghua.

Once they leave, He will not stay. She has always been around Lu Menghua.

Lu Jiuqing was the only one left in the room.

Lu Jiuqing stood quietly for a while, suddenly felt tired, walked over and sat down on the chair.

Before my butt gets hot from sitting, someone comes in from outside. As soon as I step across the threshold, I start to feel weird.

"I heard that Sixth Sister is so majestic today. I also wanted to come and see Sixth Sister's style. What's the matter, am I late?"

Lu Jiuqing looked up and saw the face of a young man.

The boy was fifteen or sixteen years old. He was dressed in white. He had been wild somewhere and there were specks of dust and mud everywhere. He didn't walk steadily at all, and he looked carefree and out of shape. He was tall and thin, about 1.8 meters tall, but his face still had a childlike look that hadn't faded away.

Lu Zian, the only legitimate son of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

Apart from Lu Menghua's daughter, Mrs. Hou who recited the Buddha's name only had this baby bump in front of her.

The seventh among many brothers and sisters, he is the youngest.

This precious kid usually doesn't deal with Lu Jiuqing, and usually gets into fights whenever they meet.
