Mu Xiaowan wanted to refuse.

How is helping Li Xiao choose a wife any different from torture for her?

But before she could react, she nodded.

She knew clearly that she wanted to see Li Xiao more than being tortured.

Even if it means enduring excruciating pain, it is worth it.

Looking at the change in Mu Xiaowan's expression, Song Mingyi raised his eyebrows.

She wanted to see how long Xiao Wan could endure and how long he could hide it from her.

Song Mingyi booked a ticket for Mu Xiaowan and agreed to leave for the capital the day after tomorrow, which was the 14th day of the first lunar month.

Mu Xiaowan stayed at the Lu family for a while, then stood up and said goodbye.

When she was leaving, she happened to meet Lu Mingzhu who came in.

Lu Mingzhu was wearing a woolen coat and had exquisite makeup on, with her wavy hair draped over her shoulders. She was as beautiful as a beautiful flower in the world.

Mu Xiaowan was amazed. Even in the entertainment industry where there are so many beautiful women, Lu Mingzhu's face is still a top beauty. She greeted politely.

Lu Mingzhu frowned proudly, with a look of disdain on her face: "Song Mingyi, since you have married into our Lu family, you must abide by the rules of the Lu family. If you associate with such shady people all day long, you will be laughed at!"

Song Mingyi frowned and said, "Where are these questionable people?"

"It's this Mu Xiaowan! Even though she's become popular now and has some fame in the circle, a little star is still a little star! With such a background, coming in and out of our Lu family all day long will only make people think that our Lu family is of low class! You are the young lady of the Lu family, you should consider the reputation of our Lu family!"

"You don't want others to say that the young lady of the Lu family is not only of poor origin, but also of poor knowledge, right?"

The smile on Song Mingyi's face gradually disappeared, and he looked at Lu Mingzhu coldly, as if he was looking at a stranger.

In fact, Song Mingyi has always known that Lu Mingzhu looks down on her.

Lu Mingzhu had a very good family background. Even though the Lu family had experienced several dangers, she had always been protected by Lu Shenxing and Mrs. Lu. She was protected so well that she had always been the eldest daughter who was held in the palm of her family's hand and loved.

She naturally looks down on everyone who is inferior to her.

Especially her.

She came from a poor family, had given birth to a child and had been in jail. In Lu Mingzhu's mind, anyone like her would be an insult to her if they said anything to her.

Not to mention that she married Lu Shenxing and became her sister-in-law.

In fact, Song Mingyi didn't care about Lu Mingzhu's contempt.

She had always known that the person she married was Lu Shenxing, and that was also the person she had been eyeing.

And Lu Mingzhu is just her sister-in-law, so it is enough for them to maintain superficial peace.

But she should never, ever, humiliate Xiao Wan in front of her!

Song Mingyi's expression gradually turned colder: "Lu Mingzhu! Apologize! Apologize to my friend Mu Xiaowan right now!"

Mu Xiaowan immediately grabbed Song Mingyi, shook her head and said, "It's okay for me, no need to apologize! Mingzhu is still young and speaks her mind, I won't take it to heart."

Lu Mingzhu said angrily: "Mingzhu? You are just an 18th-tier celebrity, why do you call me by my name? You don't deserve it!"

Song Mingyi said coldly: "Lu Mingzhu, have you forgotten that Mom has adopted Xiao Wan as her goddaughter! In terms of status, she is your elder sister! Is it your upbringing to talk to your elder sister like this?"

Lu Mingzhu said disdainfully: "What do you mean by sister or not? You just coaxed mom into giving this little star a respectable identity. Do you really take it seriously?"

Seeing that Song Mingyi was about to lose her temper, Mu Xiaowan held her back and said, "Yes, Miss Lu Mingzhu is right. Madam is praising me, so I have to know what's good for me."

Lu Mingzhu raised her chin and said, "Your friend is much more sensible than you! If you were like her, maybe I would think highly of you!"

"Actually, I know that you think what I said is harsh, but the truth is always hard to hear."

"And what can we do about it? It's your fault for dreaming about things that don't belong to you and entering a world that doesn't belong to you, so you deserve to endure such humiliation!"

"By the way, maybe for someone like you, it's good to be able to enter a wealthy family even if you have to kneel down, right?"

"Shut up!" Song Mingyi shouted coldly, "If you dare to say one more word, don't blame me for teaching you how to speak!"

Lu Mingzhu was startled by Song Mingyi's anger, and then showed disdain: "Why are you so angry? Can it cover up your background and the shady friends you have?"

Song Mingyi's eyes turned cold, and just as he was about to take action, an angry shout rang out.

"Lu Mingzhu!"

Lu Shenxing strode in.

Lu Shenxing stopped beside Song Mingyi and looked at Lu Mingzhu angrily: "Who allowed you to talk to your sister-in-law like that! Do you have any manners left? Apologize to me immediately!"

"Brother!" Lu Mingzhu couldn't help but say, "Why are you so protective of this woman! She's just a wanton woman who's been in jail and gave birth to two children! Even though she's now recognized as the granddaughter of the Li family, she's still just an illegitimate daughter after all! How can someone with this background be worthy of marrying into our Lu family? What's wrong with what I said!"

Lu Shenxing slapped Lu Mingzhu on the face.

Lu Mingzhu covered her face.

The burning pain on her face made her feel wronged and angry: "Brother, you actually hit me for a woman like Song Mingyi!"

"I hit you, and I hit you because you deserve to be hit."

Facing Lu Mingzhu's incredulous eyes, he said word by word: "Lu Mingzhu, you can use your sister-in-law's past to attack her now because I was lucky enough to marry her. She cured me, so you can be your Lu family's eldest lady in peace."

"If it weren't for her, I would have died by now. You, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, would have become the object of trampling by people like you! Your situation is a million times worse than Ming Yi's!"

"It's not an exaggeration for Mingyi to say that she is the great benefactor of our entire Lu family, but what about you? You use the past of a benefactor to insult her and trample on her! Lu Mingzhu, isn't this what mom and I taught you?"

"What benefactor? She just happened to come to the Lu family and happened to know some medical skills to cure you! What benefactor or not? I won't acknowledge her if she doesn't deserve it!"

After Lu Mingzhu finished yelling, she turned and ran away.

Lu Shenxing held Song Mingyi's hand and said to Mu Xiaowan apologetically: "Xiaowan, I'm sorry, it's all because I didn't discipline Mingzhu well, that's why she is so ignorant..."

Mu Xiaowan quickly shook her head and said, "Mingzhu is just speaking her mind, I won't take her words to heart! Well, it's getting late, I'll go back first!"

Mu Xiaowan came up to Song Mingyi and whispered in her ear: "Mingyi, you are not allowed to have a conflict with Mr. Lu because of what happened today, do you hear me!"

Seeing Mu Xiaowan's worried look, Song Mingyi took a deep breath and said, "I know what's going on. Don't worry."

Mu Xiaowan nodded, and left the Lu family without staying any longer.
