The legitimate daughter is reborn and cannot escape after being provoked by the tyrant

Tang Xiuyan pulled Lu Menghua, who was constantly cursing, and left, and the entire hall became quiet again.

Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Jiuqing, the newly promoted legitimate daughter of the Hou family.

Lu Jiuqing looked calm. Under the scorching gazes of everyone, he looked at Lu Gaofei calmly and said calmly as if nothing had happened: "Today is my father's birthday. It is a good day. Don't let this little episode disturb your mind. Guests outside I’m still waiting for my father.”

Lu Gaofei twitched the corner of his mouth in a somewhat far-fetched manner: "Yes, you are right."

He stood up and called everyone to the outer hall, trying his best to act as if nothing had happened. Although the others were curious, the host didn't want to say more, so they had no choice but to remain silent.

Soon, only Lu Jiuqing and Mrs. Hou were left in the room.

Mrs. Hou usually would not be present on such occasions, and would often just show up and leave.

She took the rosary beads in her hand and stood up to leave.

"Mother," Lu Jiuqing stopped Mrs. Hou who was about to leave and said softly, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Mrs. Hou stopped and was silent for a while, then raised her head and looked at Lu Jiuqing: "You are very good, and I have nothing to say."

Lu Jiuqing narrowed his eyes, and then suddenly smiled: "Don't you think it's a pity, mother, that we have missed each other for so many years?"

"Although you are not my daughter in name, you have still grown up in the house all these years and call me mother. Although there are regrets in the past, we cannot dwell on the past. People always have to look forward."

"Mother is right, I didn't understand it."

Mrs. Hou didn't say anything more, stood up and left.

Waiting until she was far away, Chen Yuan whispered to Lu Jiuqing: "Pretending."

Lu Jiuqing closed his eyes and said softly: "Who among the people in this room is not pretending today?"

She turned around and walked out with Chen Yuan, not even interested in attending Lu Gaofei's birthday party.

As soon as he went out, he was blocked by Lu Zian.

Lu Zian was still a little bit out of his wits at this time, looking at Lu Jiuqing with a look in his eyes that made him hesitate to speak. At this time, the young man was sincere and enthusiastic, and all his emotions were written in those eyes.

He looked at Lu Jiuqing with a mixture of surprise, sympathy and surprise.

After holding it in for a long time, he choked out: "So you are my sister..."

Lu Jiuqing was his biological sister, which made him feel closer to Lu Jiuqing.

Lu Jiuqing was silent for a moment, then raised her hand and patted Lu Zian's head: "I have always been your sister."

Lu Zian: "You clearly know that I didn't mean what I said..."

"No matter what it means, I will always be your sister. Just remember this."

Lu Zian nodded, then stared at her: "Are you leaving? Aren't you going to stay to celebrate my father's birthday?"

"This kind of thing happened today. Everyone needs time to accept it. I won't stay." Lu Jiuqing said calmly, "You should spend a good birthday with your father, and don't go out to hang out with your bad friends during the New Year. Just stay at home."

After saying this, before Lu Zian could say anything, he took Chen Yuan and left.

After leaving the Hou Mansion, Lu Jiuqing let out a long breath.

Chen Yuan looked at her face: "Shall we go back now?"

Lu Jiuqing was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "If you don't want to go back, let's go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion."

Chen Yuan: "...Okay."
