Chapter 445: Chapter 445 - Calling The Shots
Chapter 445 â Calling the Shots
Liu Shi thought the revocation of Lu Wushuangâs title was the result of Old Madam Luâs favoritism and Lu Lingzhiâs lack of action. So in her heart, she resented Lu Shimingâs family to the bone. If it werenât for Lu Yaoyao, her Shuangâer would not have been banished to become a Taoist nun.
Liu Shi pretended to be ill for a few days, but no one ever cared about her. Old Madam Lu still regarded her as nothing and even her son ignored her.
They are all bewitched by the third household!
âMadam, the second eldest miss and the fourth miss have come to see you.â The maid came in and whispered in her ear.
Liu Shi said angrily, âI wonât meet them! Have they come to see me becoming a joke one by one? Just because Shuangâer is in trouble now, donât think that she wonât be able to gain the emperorâs favor sooner or later.â
Lu Fang walked in with a smile. âMother, of course we all know that the eldest sister will definitely regain her title of Gui Fei. We just wanted to greet you today.ââ
Liu Shi cast them a cold look and waved her hand to tell the maid to withdraw. âYou came to greet me? Thatâs really rare.â
âEldest Aunt, no one at home cares about you, but we still think about you,â Lu Jing said with a smile.
âDid something happen at home?â Although Liu Shi was not shrewd enough, seeing that these two little girls suddenly visited her meant that they definitely didnât really care about her, but that something had happened. They really thought she wouldnât be able to tell.
Lu Jing was a little embarrassed, bit her lip and remained silent.
âMother, Fourth Younger Sister has been wronged. You must help her.â Lu Fang spoke for her.
Liu Shi raised her eyebrows but didnât say anything.
A daughter of the second household needs to come to me crying of grievances? Why not go to the old madam but me?
Seeing that she was silent, Lu Fang said in a low voice, âFourth Younger Sister has been in love with Marquis Jing Ning since long, and Yaoyao knows about this. Now, Third Aunt wants Grandmother to ask the empress dowager to bestow her marriage to him. She is stubbornly breaking up Forth Sisterâs and Marquis Jing Ningâs path. Mother, you have to make a decision for Jingâer. â
âHmph, the third household relies on Old Madamâs favouritism, what else canât they do?â Liu Shi snorted coldly and hated Lu Shimingâs family more and more. âYou can talk to your eldest brother about this, but itâs useless to find the old madam.â
Lu Fang was a little timid.âMother, we have approached Eldest Brother, but Iâm afraid he wonât listen to us.â
Liu smiled faintly. âYou came to me because you want me to talk to your eldest brother about this?â
The entire Lu family knew that it was impossible for Old Madam Lu to listen to her, but the marquis was different. He was her son. Who else would he listen to if not her?
Lu Jing said in a low voice, âIf Aunt helps Jingâer, Jingâer would be grateful to you for the rest of her life.â
Liu Shi looked up at her. Although Lu Jing was not as beautiful as Lu Yaoyao, she was also a pretty daughter of a humble family, at least a lot better than Lu Fang.
âIâll try,â Liu Shi said. If she could really help Lu Jing, she would become the wife of a marquis in the future, and it would always be good for her and Shuangâer.
Lu Jing was delighted. âThank you, Eldest Aunt.â
âTaoâer, go and invite the marquis over, just say I have something to tell him.â Liu instructed the maid in front of Lu Jing.
âMother, Fourth Younger Sister and I will go back first and wait for good news from you.â Lu Fang said with a smile and took the otherâs hand.
Liu Shi waved lazily and watched the two of them exit the room. She snorted. Now her daughter was still suffering in the Nianci Temple.
Lu Yaoyao wants to enjoy happiness now? Dream on!
She had waited for half an hour when Lu Lingzhi came to look for her.
âNow I have to wait so long to see my son?â Liu couldnât help but feel resentful when she saw him.
If this son of mine was willing to help his sister, how could Shuangâer become Taoist nun?
Lu Lingzhi ignored the cold words. âMother, you are looking for me for something?â
âIs it only when I have something that I can talk to you? Do you still think of me as your mother in your heart?â Liu Shi asked angrily. âI donât know what benefits the third household has given you to make you help them at every turn.â
âMother, what do you want to say?â Lu Lingzhi frowned. He was really annoyed that Liu Shi was always talking about the third household. It was clear that she was the one who owed them, but in her opinion, it was the other way around.
Liu Shi cried, âDo you even want to know what life Shuangâer is living now?â If it werenât for the third household, how could she be like this? You, like your father, are only helping the third household, regardless of your sister. â
Lu Lingzhi frowned helplessly. âMother, how many times do you want me to tell you, no one can help Shuangâer. When we entered the palace, the emperor had already ordered her to be abolished as a gui fei. Itâs not about Yaoyao. The matter, originally Shuangâer framed her.â
âSo what if she hurt her?! Can she still be compared with Shuangâer?â Liu Shi cried out angrily. Lu Yaoyao still canât match Shuangâerâs finger. She should die for Shuangâer⌠To save her face!
âYour daughter is precious, that doesnât mean those (daughters) of others are grass,â Lu Lingzhi said coldly.
Liu Shi snorted. âThen donât be so biased. I heard that Pei Shi asked the old madam to go and ask the empress dowager for a decree to bestow Lu Yaoyao a marriage. Lingzhi, Jingâer is also your sister. You should do it for her. Call the shots.â
âMother, what exactly are you talking about?â It was his intention to have the old madam ask the empress dowager to give her marriage, what did this have to do with Lu Jing?
