Volume 1 Chapter 38: Gathering in Hanyang

  At this time, Lu Yue was somewhat indifferent to her reputation due to her cold heart towards men, and she didn't care if she couldn't get married anyway.

  So, she said seriously until here, seeing that the woman had finished spitting mud and was about to start scolding again. She took out two more clumps of mud from her basket and "thwack" threw them at her face once more, sternly shouting: "Shut up!"

  Hit by mud again, the woman was about to cry. She sat down on the ground with a thud, wanting to wail loudly, but as soon as she cried, the mud on her face flowed into her mouth. She had to wipe her face clean with her sleeve first.

  Not bad, it's quiet again.

  Lu Xuan lowered her head and looked seriously at the two maids behind the woman, "Wasn't it just earlier when Ah Yun got out of school that the one surnamed Zeng said a couple of words to me? Why did Ah Yin get angry to this extent?" As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something and smiled coldly, "I forgot, a girl who gets married through unscrupulous means will always be unable to be as calm and composed as normal people, it's normal for her to be on high alert." With a wave of her hand, Lu Xuan shooed the woman away like she was chasing flies, "She must be afraid that I'll turn around and snatch her Zeng Lang back. Go tell Ah Yin that I'm really not interested in that surnamed Zeng anymore. Humph, a person who always thinks about making his wife into a concubine is just someone she treasures."

  She paused, looked seriously at the two maidservants and suddenly said very sincerely: "Actually, you let this shrew scold me, it's not a good idea. Why don't you just bring people to search the house and say I stole your family's daughter's jewelry?"

  She was so sincere and kind in her advice, that the two maids were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and thought to themselves: You think we don't want to, but how do we know where you've hidden those pieces of jewelry? Besides, you're so good at spending money, the things given by those wealthy families are gone in just two hours, we're also afraid that Miss's jewelry has already been dealt with.

  Of course, they would never say such things.

  Two maidservants looked at each other in dismay, while Lu Yue, sitting on the wall, furrowed her brow and said gently: "This one on top is a bit uncomfortable, are you still scolding? If not, I'll get down."

  She asked this with a serious expression, staring at the shrew.

  That shrew's face turned alternately pale and red, her eyes staring straight at the basket that was half-filled with mud, unable to utter a word.

  Lu Xuan waited for a while, seeing that she didn't speak again, nodded and said: "You're not scolding anymore? It seems we've reached an agreement." As he spoke to himself, another wave of suppressed laughter spread around. Yin Cheng's lips twitched as she couldn't help but turn her head away to stifle her smile.

  Since they had reached an agreement, Lu Xuan thought that she could also leave. However, before leaving, she had to say a few polite words.

  So, Lu Xuan stared at the three maidservants, raised her voice and said seriously: "Go back and tell Pingyin that those accessories of hers were spent by me a few days ago. By the way, remind her that although I, Lu Xuan, am not very rich, I have always been a person who keeps my word, so she can rest assured to marry Zeng Lang, I absolutely will not think about it again."

  She wiped her hands dry and started sliding down with her back against the wall.

  When Lu Xiang's people disappeared over the wall, it was unclear who led the way, but a burst of laughter erupted from all directions. Amidst this laughter and pointing, several maidservants of the Ping family blushed bright red and, after struggling slightly, fled with their heads covered.

  Until everyone was gone, Yin Chen had not left. He raised his head and looked at the courtyard wall, with a smile in his shining eyes.

  It wasn't until a while later that he turned around, pushed open the door and entered the courtyard.

  The yard in his house is more than five times larger than Lu Xue's. Walking in the small garden, Yin Zhen's tightly pursed lips and expressionless face suddenly broke into a bright smile.

  As he walked, he heard a few maids gossiping, "That Lu Shi Ayue is really interesting."

  "Yes, although it's not very polite, it's also quite bold and interesting."

  "She's really got guts."

  "They say Sichuan women are spicy, and indeed they are."

  ……

  He returned to his room, the smile on his face still not gone. Seeing him like this, his aunt who had rushed over with the maidservants again stirred up trouble in her heart. She walked up to Yin Chen and softly scolded: "Chen'er, that Lu Shi is just a shrewish woman, how can you still smile?"

  He turned back with a smile and looked at his aunt, saying in a low voice: "She's great like this, I really like it."

  How can she be so lawless and unruly, beating people and climbing walls like a wild girl? And yet you still think she's great? You still like her? The elegant young woman was so angry that she almost jumped up.

  Not to mention the rumors spreading from the neighboring courtyard, after Lu Yuanshu finished washing her hands, she continued to busy herself while thinking: I wonder if she believed what I said? Alas, probably not.

  She knew that it was actually a good idea for Ping Yin to call over a shrewish woman to scold her. If an ordinary girl were scolded like this, she would probably be so angry that she would cry uncontrollably. Those girls, who usually care about their reputation, even if they are angry, do not dare to scold back, fearing being looked down upon and unable to fight back. When they are extremely angry, they can only cry, and when they really cannot understand, they will commit suicide. It's really stupid that when someone else hurts them and owes them an apology, they come to take their own lives to punish their loved ones!

  Lu Xuan had never been one to take a beating without fighting back, and being played by Ping Yin like this made her angry.

  At this time, she sat in front of the stove, frowning and thinking about ways to take revenge.

  On the other hand, Lu Yun was reading a book while occasionally looking up to glance at his sister. Thinking of the mud balls his sister had thrown down, he couldn't help but want to smile again.

  After a moment of contemplation, he let out a soft sigh and asked: "Sister, will this matter today be bad for you?"

  Lu Xuan raised her head and glanced at her brother, murmuring indifferently, "Maybe it will, maybe it won't."

  "Sister! What if it affects your reputation?"

  "That's it!" Lu Xuan's voice was a bit lazy and cold, "Does Ah Yun think that I can still find a good family to marry into in Han Yang City?"

  "Okay, okay......"

  "It doesn't matter." Lu Xuan waved her hand and said lightly, "I'm fine. Ah Yun, you just focus on reading your book, I have my own plans."

  "Oh."
