Xiang Sanniang didn't say a word, but kept smiling as her two daughters pestered Lu Qing to talk.
Wei Tao complained, pouting and turning her head to complain to Sanniang: "Mom! The eldest sister looks down on me! She doesn't want to worry about my marriage!"
Xiang Sanniang had told the two sisters earlier that if she had such a favored sister, her marriage to Wei Ju would be smoother, and she might even have the chance to marry a man who lives in the capital.
The four Wei Tao siblings didn't know the truth at all. They firmly believed that Lu Qing was the eldest sister of their family.
Before meeting Lu Qing, Wei Tao still thought about establishing a good relationship with her eldest sister after meeting. But that day when they met for the first time at the gate of Jinxiyuan, she was wearing shabby clothes and could not withstand the cold wind, but her lucky sister could. Dressed warmly and beautifully, at that moment, Wei Tao's jealousy broke through all reason.
She even complained to Xiang Sanniang why she was not given the opportunity to live a good life like Lu Qing!
Xiang Sanniang and Wei Daniu didn't dare to tell her the real situation, fearing that they would reveal bad things, so they could only coax her by saying that Lu Qing would help their family live a good life. That's why Wei Tao and Wei Ju dared to think and speak so much today.
When Wei Tao made trouble like this, Xiang Sanniang subconsciously took a look at Lu Qing's face and said angrily: "You are too demanding. Your eldest sister is just the prince's concubine. How can she help you marry the number one scholar!"
Unexpectedly, Wei Tao accepted this explanation. She thought she was sensible and backed down, and continued to make demands on Lu Qing in a bossy tone: "If the number one scholar is not good, the young masters of the aristocratic family can also do it. Anyway, I want to stay in the capital!"
Wei Ju was not to be outdone: "I also want to stay in the capital and be the young lady of a wealthy family!"
Lu Qing frowned as she heard this, and she looked at Sanniang: "Did you teach them to say that?"
"I, I..." Xiang Sanniang felt a little guilty. She knew very well that Lu Qing would be repulsed by their shameless clinging, so she didn't dare to offend Lu Qing too much yet. She turned her face and yelled at Wei Tao and Wei Ju, "Which girl talks about her marriage without being embarrassed! If others hear it, your eldest sister's reputation will be damaged!"
Wei Tao stretched her neck and spoke back: "She is just a concubine! What's the use of fame!"
Lu Qing smiled coldly. Now she remembered that she was just a concubine. How could she have made so many unreasonable demands just now?
"Yes, I am just a concubine and have no abilities, so I advise you to stay calm."
Xiang Sanniang smiled coquettishly and said: "You are still quite capable. I heard they say that you are still the most favored in the palace. You can capture the prince's heart, so you are quite capable!"
She looked around at the furnishings and layout of Jin Yuyuan, and then said: "You must be a capable person, otherwise you wouldn't live in such a nice courtyard. Since we are a family, it's best to help each other, otherwise you can live on your own." Well, if you don’t care about us, the Emperor and Queen can’t justify it even if they know about it, don’t you think so?”
If you learn to be smart, don't forget to use Emperor Xihe and Queen Xu to suppress her.
Lu Qing stared at Sanniang: "A family? Do we all know about it?"
Xiang Sanniang would never give up the hard-earned benefits. She pretended to be stupid and responded: "I only know that we are a family. We have made a clear path in front of the emperor. If it weren't for your poor health, we would have already held a recognition ceremony." It’s a ceremony.”
Lu Qing stood up, leaned over and whispered into Sanniang's ear: "Then you have to be more at ease. If the truth is exposed, can you afford the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
Xiang Sanniang has never seen the world, but she also knows that those who commit the crime of deceiving the emperor will be beheaded. She had listened to Guan Shasha's brainwashing and was blinded by the immediate benefits. She firmly believed that the matter would not be found out, so she acted boldly.
But after seeing the look in Lu Qing's eyes, she realized that Lu Qing was not someone to be bullied.
There are so many women in the backyard. They don't have a good background, but they can have sons by their side and the prince's favor. It shows that Lu Qing also has her own tricks.
Xiang Sanniang suddenly felt weak. She moved her lips and had no choice but to avoid Lu Qing's sight. She blinked rapidly and moved her eyes back and forth.
Lu Qing chuckled lightly and pointed at Wei Tao and Wei Ju beside him: "When the time comes, no one will be able to escape!"
Xiang Sanniang swallowed hard and replied: "In short, we are a family, we experience bitterness and sweetness together..."
Lu Qing's attitude became more firm: "There will be evidence whether it is true or not. You just need to be calm. I don't care so much. After all, you may have been deceived, and you are a poor person to a certain extent."
Xiang Sanniang was not as brainless as she seemed on the surface. Lu Qing grasped this and continued: "Someone must have asked you to harm me, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have appeared in front of me at this time. Take a good look at me. , I gave birth to the only child in the house, and there is another one in my belly, and I am still the prince’s favorite person.”
"Do you think you can continue to live your good life after harming me? I'm afraid that by then, your money will be gone and your life will be gone, right?"
Lu Qing's words struck Xiang Sanniang's mind like a thunderbolt.
Last night, Guan Shasha came to her and really asked her to take action.
Guan Shasha's original words were: "You are now her biological mother in the eyes of outsiders. If she dies, you will have confirmed your identity as her biological mother. In the end, the prince and princess will not ignore you. She is dead." You are still her son’s maternal grandparents.”
She recalled it, feeling a little determined in her heart, and her eyes became fierce for a moment.
Lu Qing took the first step and put the dagger at her waist covertly: "Do you want to take action? If you touch me, all your sons and daughters will be buried with you."
After saying that, she held the dagger and thrust it forward. The stinging sensation was transmitted from Xiang Sanniang's waist to her brain, and a strong sense of fear bound her tightly.
Lu Qing showed with her actions that she would not be soft-hearted and she was not an idiot.
"This is my territory. Are you sure you can kill me without leaving any trace?" Lu Qing used a little more force, Xiang Sanniang's lips turned white, "But I can kill you, do you believe it?"
"Don't, don't...I..." Xiang Sanniang wanted to ask for help, but Wei Tao and Wei Ju were attracted by the jewelry on Luqing's dressing table, and they didn't know what their own mother was in now.
"My request is that you stay calm. I have found out the truth. You cooperate with me to explain it clearly and put the responsibility on the person who found you. Otherwise, I will not only make her pay the price, but your family will also not be punished. I let it go."
Xiang Sanniang was shaken, and she asked with a trembling voice: "Really, really?"
Lu Qing has never cared about whether she acts upright. She doesn't have so many principles that belong to a gentleman, so she responded without blushing: "Really, it depends on whether you can cooperate."
"I cooperate! Cooperate!"
