After rebirth, my elder sister wants to steal my husband!

Still as arrogant as ever.

Lu Zhiran sneered and waved to the maid outside the door to send the guests away. Her face was as cold as ice, and there was an unquestionable firmness between her eyebrows. Her black eyes flashed sharply under the light, as if they could see into people's hearts.

"Since, sister, you have no sincerity in begging for mercy, then just leave!" Her voice was cold and firm, without a trace of emotion.

"I can't help you with the matter between you and your brother-in-law."

When Lu Nianyao heard Lu Zhiran's decisive words, she felt flustered.

She never expected that Lu Zhiran would actually refuse to help her.

Relying on the love of his parents, he bossed Lu Zhiran around, and never thought that one day he would be rejected by her so coldly.

Didn't she always want her parents' approval?

But at this moment, she was so shocked by Lu Zhiran's attitude that she stood there in a daze.

Lu Nianyao had a beautiful face and skin as white as jade, but her almond eyes were full of panic and unwillingness. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying to make herself look more pitiful, hoping to arouse Lu Zhiran's sympathy.

"Aren't you afraid that your parents will find out that you didn't help me and then disown you? Then you won't have anyone to rely on, so just wait and regret it!"

There was a hint of threat in Lu Nianyao's tone, trying to use the Lu family to suppress Lu Zhiran.

After all, although the Lu family is a merchant family and cannot compare to the Fu family, as a woman, the one she can rely on and the one who can support her in the end is still her own family.

Hearing this, Lu Zhiran curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer.

Lu Nianyao is just like her mother. Why do they all use the matter of her mother's family to threaten her?

In her previous life, she was bullied in the Mu family.

Has your mother’s family ever helped at all?

I couldn't wait to tell her to get away from me, it would be embarrassing if others saw her coming.

Later, when Mu Qizon became an official, he came close to him.

Such a snobbish family is of no use to her.

She turned around, her back to Lu Nianyao, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"Sister, do you think I am still the little girl who lets others manipulate me and begs for my parents' love?"

"I have grown up and no longer need to rely on you for food. As for my father and mother, if they really disown me because I don't help you, then I have nothing to say."

When Lu Nianyao heard this, she was horrified.

In her heart, before Lu Zhiran was reborn, she had always been a weak and vulnerable sister, and she never thought that she would become so heartless.

The atmosphere in the room was solemn. The maids lowered their heads and dared not make a sound.

They were afraid that what happened between the two of them would affect them.

Lu Zhiran said coldly: "Zixiang, send my sister away."

Zixiang nodded slightly, walked up quickly, and made a gesture of invitation to Lu Nianyao. Although her action was respectful, her eyes revealed a hint of disdain.

Lu Nianyao was so angry that her face turned blue. She glared at Lu Zhiran, then turned and left.

Lu Zhiran, do you think that if you don’t help me, I will have no other options?

Just wait for me.

Lu Nian Yao thought fiercely and walked away extremely angrily.

After Lu Nianyao left, Lu Zhiran walked into the inner room and sat down to warm herself by the fire. The warm firelight reflected on her face, adding a bit of gentleness to her.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if to expel all the troubles from her body.

Xiaoying walked up to Lu Zhiran as if she had made a big mistake.

"Madam, it's all Xiaoying's fault. I shouldn't have let Miss in."

"She insisted on barging in. Madam was just going out for some fun and her good mood was ruined."

After a long while, Lu Zhiran opened his eyes and looked at Xiaoying.

There was no blame or anger in her eyes, but instead there was tolerance and understanding.

"Xiaoying, you don't have to blame yourself." Lu Zhiran said softly, "If she wants to come, you can't stop her. Besides, I can understand that you don't dare to offend her."

"I'll have Zixiang tell the servants at the door to beat her out mercilessly if she does it again like today."

Xiaoying raised her head and looked at Lu Zhiran, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes.

Lu Zhiran did not blame her, but comforted her instead.

This made her feel even more guilty, but at the same time it also strengthened her loyalty to Lu Zhiran.

"Madam, what new and interesting scenery did you encounter while boating on the lake today?"

"..."

Lu Zhiran chatted with Xiaoying for a while.

There was a light knock on the door of the inner room, and Zixiang's voice rang out from outside the door: "Madam, the hot water is ready."

It was windy outside all day today. Even though Lu Zhiran was wrapped in a cloak and holding a heater, he still had to take a bath to warm his body so as not to catch a cold.

……

The next morning, Lu Zhiran returned from paying his respects to Old Madam Fu.

The sunlight shone through the treetops onto her, covering her with a layer of golden glow.

As soon as she stepped into the garden, a whispering sound came into her ears.

"Really? Aunt Zhang is really pregnant?"

"I didn't expect that the Marquis's first child was not born from the wife's belly."

"Yes! Madam is not favored by the Marquis to begin with. If the child is born from a concubine, I really don't know how she will have the face to live..."

Lu Zhiran frowned slightly when he heard this, and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see several maids and old women gathered together, whispering to each other.

what's the situation?

How did the maids and old women know that Zhang Xiangxiu was hiding her pregnancy?

This is too careless!

Lu Zhiran's heart moved. She didn't like the trend of talking about people behind their backs.

With a look of displeasure on his face, Lu Zhiran slowly walked towards the group of maids and old women who were gathered together and talking.

Although her steps were light, they carried a majesty that could not be ignored.

Lu Zhiran walked up to them, frowned slightly, and his cold voice echoed in the air: "What are you talking about?"

The maids and old women were originally whispering and talking happily, but they were suddenly frightened by Lu Zhiran's voice. When they turned around and saw that it was Lu Zhiran, their faces immediately turned pale.

It's over, it's over!

Why is this master here!

The more enjoyable the discussion was just now, the more frightening I felt at this moment.

"Husband...Madam..."

Several maids felt it.

Lu Zhiran sneered, "Go on! Why don't you continue?"

"What were you talking about just now?"
