How can everything in this world be worry-free and everything goes as planned?
Lu Kang looked at the bronze mirror. The bronze mirror came from the south of the Yangtze River. It was as tall as a person and could illuminate her clearly.
We didn't have such a good mirror in our home before.
But just like a good mirror doesn't make people happy. Lu Kangshi can clearly see the signs of decay after his youth passed away.
No woman can face this head on.
Especially when there is another young woman in the mirror.
Lu Kangshi's eyes moved down and saw the kneeling girl reflected in the mirror.
She was wearing a white gauze skirt, with a ribbon outlining her slender waist. She lowered her head to expose her neck, which was shining white.
You don’t even need to look at the face, it’s enough to make people unable to take their eyes away.
If you look at your face, Mr. Lu Kang will know it, and it will stick in your heart.
However, Lu Kang is a woman, and beauty cannot penetrate her heart. She has to pull beauty out of other people's hearts.
"Ah Qi." She held back her temper and called her by her nickname as affectionately as before, "I thought I made it clear to you."
The girl stretched out her hand to grab the hem of Lu Kang's skirt and kept shaking her head: "Madam, madam, you can't, you can't."
She seemed weak and her voice was hoarse from crying, her voice was weak and feeble.
"What can't be done?" Lu Kang said in a deep voice, "Who said you can't cancel an engagement once it's been engaged?"
The girl raised her head.
"It's not just an engagement, ma'am," she sobbed, "I'm through the door."
"What kind of entrance are you doing!" Lu Kang shouted angrily and threw away the girl's hand.
The girl fell softly to the ground like a vine that had been pulled away from her support.
Next to her, the maidservant, who was huddled and kneeling as if she didn't exist, crawled over to her on her knees, called "Miss," and stretched out her hand to help her.
Mr. Lu Kang was pacing in front of the mirror, his voice carrying wind like his footsteps.
"What do you call coming in? You have no father or mother, and your grandfather is seriously ill and has no one to rely on, so we brought you in."
"Can this be called entry? This is called care, this is called pity, this is called mercy!"
"You are so ungrateful that you dare to threaten me!"
Lu Kang was not a gentle housewife. Before she got married, she took care of the family's accounts. After she got married, she also kept the counter at the Lu family's shop. It wasn't until her family's business expanded and she became richer and richer in the past few years that she began to live a happy life.
The days of a lady who never goes out or steps forward.
If you dare to bargain with her, you will never get a bargain.
The girl was yelled at and scolded, her eyes were blank, and she shook her head in tears.
"Madam, it was at the request of the eldest master that he sent the young lady here -" the maid couldn't help but say.
Lu Kang was furious, raised his hand and slapped the maid.
The maidservant was beaten until she fell to the ground, with blood splattering from her nose.
"Eating everything inside and outside." Lu Kangshi scolded, "You don't know your last name? Who will give you food? How dare a slave come to question the master! Someone, drag this cheap slave out and sell it -"
The girl who was lying on the ground whimpered and threw herself on the maid.
The two maids stepped forward to pull her apart, but the girl, who was as weak as a vine, refused to let go.
There was a lot of chattering in the room, mixed with Lu Kang's angry scoldings.
"I tried to reason with you in a loud voice, but you didn't listen."
"I'll give you dignity, so don't be ungrateful. Who has given you food, a home, and the company of your sisters in the past five years?"
"I still treat you as a young lady from a foreign country. If you keep pestering me, don't blame me for treating you like a slave!"
Mother Yang, Lu Kang's companion, came in and saw this scene. She looked a little anxious and reminded: "We are hosting guests at home today."
Although no one is allowed to approach the eldest lady's house, there are so many people today. If someone hears her, those women have long ears and quick mouths. They can tell something even if it is nothing, and it will spread throughout the city in a blink of an eye.
The servants and wives hurriedly stopped pulling, and Mrs. Lu Kang also stopped scolding, looking bitterly at the master and servant kneeling on the ground.
"These two cheap maids also know it, so they picked it up and came back today just to make my Lu family lose face and to ruin my son's future!"
Mother Yang advised: "Madam, calm down." She knelt down and looked at the girl, "Miss Ah Qi, I believe you will not harm the third young master."
The name of Third Young Master seemed to inject strength into the girl. She stood up and shook her head: "Of course I won't, of course I don't want to harm Third Brother -"
"But the Third Young Master's current status, if you insist on occupying the position of the head wife, you are harming him." Yang's mother sighed and said, "Think about it, where the Third Young Master will go in the future, the capital, and what he will do in the future is,
If you become an official in the court, with your background, not only will you not be able to help him, but it will make him laugh at others."
The girl looked at Yang's mother and moved her lips.
She didn't make a sound, but Yang's mother understood.
She said you didn't think so before.
Previously, when I accepted the marriage proposal, when I picked her up to come in.
Yang's mother's face also darkened: "Miss Ah Qi, the past is the past, nothing remains the same in the world? People should look forward and don't always hold on to the past."
What's the truth? Is this the truth? The girl's eyes were even more blank, and her face was as white as porcelain, as if it would break with a poke.
What a beauty.
Mother Yang couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and continued to persuade: "Miss, just listen to the madam. The madam likes you. You have been raised by the madam since you were ten years old. You are just like the other ladies in the family. How can the madam let you go?"
?In the future, when the third young master has a wife, you will not be comparable to her in the heart of the wife. There is also the third young master. You grew up with him, so you will naturally be different in his heart. It is just a status. Listen to me,
We can live a good life without mentioning the engagement or the marriage certificate."
Pearl-like tears fell on the outstretched hand of Mother Yang as the girl shook her head.
"This is wrong." She murmured in her voice, "This is wrong, there is no faith, you can't-"
"What nonsense are you talking to her?" Lu Kangshi gritted her teeth again and whispered, "I made it clear to you at the Zhuangzi that day. I also burned the marriage certificate. You can see it clearly. It's over.
At this point, whether you should or shouldn’t, just one sentence, if you don’t want to be a concubine, Zhuangzi doesn’t have to go—”
She stretched out her hand and pointed outward.
"Just get out of my house."
At this point he sneered again.
"I'm not afraid of you making trouble. You are an orphan who has been raised by me for many years. What qualifications do you have to make trouble with me?"
"Let's make a fuss and see if the world believes you or me."
"Tell me about your faith? You don't even know who you are!"
As he spoke, he reached out to pull the girl.
"Come on, follow me to the courtyard now and let everyone see if everyone believes that our Lu family is unfaithful, or if you, a lowly servant, want to corrupt my son!"
The girl's slender shoulders were grabbed and lifted up like a rag. She let out a quick cry, and the maid who was being held down by the servant woman broke away again and rushed towards her.
"Madam, madam, the lady is sick, the lady is sick."
The room fell into chaos again, and the door was knocked again.
"What's the matter!" Lu Kang shouted.
"Sister-in-law." The female voice outside the door was a little urgent, "The wife of the Yingchuan County Duke is here."
This name shocked everyone in the room.
The door was also pushed open, and Lu Ning, the second wife of the Lu family, walked in and said softly: "We can greet the others, but you must personally pick up this lady."
That's natural, Yingchuan County Duke is a noble person in Yucheng, and he didn't expect to come to their Baiquan County to congratulate her son.
Lu Kang took a deep breath, let go and threw the girl to the ground.
"Send her back to Zhuangzi."
"Tie them up and gagged them, load them into the car, and get out the back door."
The maids responded, and Mrs. Lu Kang exhaled a breath, while Mrs. Lu Ning bent over and smoothed the corners of her skirt.
"Same, sister-in-law, it's not worth getting angry about." She said, "Be happy when you go out, and don't let anyone see you."
Lu Kangshi said: "You came to teach me a lesson."
Lu Ning laughed and said, "My sister-in-law taught me this."
Lu Kangshi was interrupted by her, her face softened, and she walked out.
Lu Ning took a step back, and just as she was about to take a step forward, one hand grabbed the hem of her skirt.
The golden threads at the corners of the skirt outline the pattern, and the hanging lines are faintly visible. When unfolded, the chrysanthemums bloom, which is really beautiful.
Such good embroidery cannot be found anywhere else in Baiquan County.
The girl's trembling fingers felt the needlework patterns, which she had embroidered.
More than one.
In the Madam's box, there are unique dresses piled up over the past five years, each of which contains her hard work of staying up all night.
Second aunt——
The second aunt often held her face and said, Ah Qi is the most powerful in the world.
The second aunt said that she liked Ah Qi the most. She had not given birth to a daughter, and Ah Qi was her biological daughter.
The second aunt raised her foot, her dress flew up and her fingers came off.
The two ladies walked out with chaotic steps. The second aunt didn't even look at the ground from the beginning to the end. It seemed that there was no such person in the room.
The door of the room was closed, isolating the inside and outside, and the girl's outstretched hand fell to the ground.
