Lan Qiu asked nervously: "What happened?"

"Aunt...Aunt Liu is dead." Huamei said with a look of horror.

Snap——

The hairpin in Lu Mingzhu's hand fell to the ground. Huoran stood up and looked at Huamei in horror: "You are talking nonsense, how could my aunt die?"

Huamei shook her head with red eyes: "My slave is not talking nonsense. The slaves in Zhuangzi are all talking about it, saying that he died last night."

"How is that possible?" Lu Mingzhu screamed in disbelief: "Who, who killed my aunt, is it Lu Xiang? Bitch, this bitch..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a woman stood at the door and pointed at her and cursed: "Who are you scolding? If you dare to scold the third lady again, I will tear your mouth out."

Lu Mingzhu was so angry that she pointed at her mother-in-law and said angrily: "I just scolded you, you dog slave, who do you think you dare to speak to me like this? I am the fourth young lady of the Lu family. Believe it or not, I reported it to my father."

Fight and kill."

"Ha, then go ahead." The woman was not afraid but instead mocked Lu Mingzhu: "I'm afraid the Fourth Miss doesn't know. Aunt Liu was scolded by the master for fifty years and refused to be treated, so that's why she didn't survive."

, I heard that even the wounds were suppurated when he died, and his whole body was rotten and smelly."

Lu Mingzhu was shocked, and her mind went blank.

My aunt was blamed by her father?

Why.

She obviously told her that she was pregnant when she asked someone to deliver something some time ago, and planned to take the opportunity to kill that little bitch Lu Xiang. At the worst, she would also kill Zhao Qingya. As long as she waited patiently, her aunt would take her

go back.

Why did he die suddenly?

Lu Mingzhu felt her eyes go dark, staggered and almost fainted.

"Fourth Miss, I have offended a nobleman and brought great trouble to the Lu family. My mother made a big mistake again and was punished by the master. The master did not even arrange a funeral for Aunt Liu, which shows how much he dislikes Aunt Liu.

Just you mother and daughter

What I did is that I can think of taking you back. Don’t dream about it. The one born in the outer room is not as good as the one who grew up in the house. Bah, you are born with a cheap bone. It is really unlucky to be left here to serve..." The old woman cursed.

Gone.

Lu Mingzhu's blood surged with anger. She grabbed something and threw it out the door: "Nonsense, my mother is not dead. You were all bribed by that bitch Lu Xiang to tell me this deliberately. I don't believe it, I don't believe it."

...Ahhhh..."

She was scolding and crying at the same time, her pale little face full of panic.

Huamei hugged her: "Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss, please calm down."

Lan Qiu said: "I will go to the Lu Mansion now to inquire."

"Go quickly." Huamei urged.

Lan Qiu turned around and left. Suddenly Lu Mingzhu said: "Wait a minute, I'll go with you."

This must be Lu Xiang's trick. She needs to go to the Lu Mansion to ask in person.

Huamei said: "Miss, the journey is a bit far. Let Lan Qiu go. She can go faster. Let's wait for news here."

There are carriages in the village, but none of them know how to drive them.

Lu Mingzhu nodded in despair.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Lan Qiu dragged her two legs that were almost useless from running back to Zhuangzi. She walked all the way to the house where Lu Mingzhu lived, and was mercilessly ridiculed by the slaves in Zhuangzi.

Lan Qiu entered the room and couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw the Fourth Miss. With this look, she could guess that what the servants said was true without opening her mouth.

Lu Mingzhu suddenly panicked, feeling like she was being squeezed by a big stone and couldn't breathe.

Lan Qiu's crying was in her ears, which made her upset. Lu Mingzhu raised his hand and slapped her hard: "Why are you crying? Have you been bribed by Lu Xiang? My mother is not dead.

She’s not dead.”

"I am the fourth young lady of the Lu family. If you dare to lie to me, I will beat you to death."

Lu Mingzhu looked ferocious and his eyes were crazy.

Lan Qiu covered the side of her face that had been beaten and was stunned with fear.

Huamei pulled her away, fearing that Lu Mingzhu, who couldn't stand the stimulation, would do something crazy again.

The two of them hid far away, not daring to come forward to persuade her, and waited for Lu Mingzhu to calm down on her own.

"You went and asked what the people in the mansion said?" Huamei asked softly.

Lan Qiu said with a mournful face: "The master blamed Aunt Liu for fifty times and locked her up in the Lotus Courtyard to fend for herself. She only had two meals a day and no doctor was asked to treat her. The servants didn't know what big mistake she had made.

, told me not to come to the house in the future. It’s a good thing that the master doesn’t care about the fourth young lady now, otherwise I’m afraid that the master will think of it and get angry at the fourth young lady, and then he will be kicked out of the house and he won’t even have a place to stay.”

"So serious?" Huamei was stunned: "They really don't know what my aunt has committed?"

Lan Qiu shook his head: "Everyone kept silent. The master was very angry a few days ago. Even Aunt Liu's body was taken out and dumped in a mass grave." At the end of the sentence, Lan Qiu lowered her voice and added.

In Huamei's ears, Lu Mingzhu didn't dare to hear anything.

Suddenly, there was a "dong" sound, and Lu Mingzhu was so excited that she fainted and fell to the ground.

Huamei and Lan Qiu hurriedly helped her to the bed.

Looking at the unconscious Lu Mingzhu, the two frowned, full of sorrow for the future.

In the early morning, the sky is beginning to turn bright, and after the baptism of rain, the air is filled with the fresh fragrance of vegetation.

Lu Xiang took Wuyue into the palace.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace. When Lu Xiang got off the carriage, he saw Chu Jinyan standing in the sun with his hands behind his hands.

He walked slowly towards Lu Xiang, dressed in a silver-patterned brocade robe, with a straight bridge of nose and slightly pursed lips, both delicate and gorgeous. His pure beauty had just the right amount of elegance and coolness, making people intoxicated and fascinated.

Lu Xiang's breathing was slightly choked, and she had the urge to run away, but she was forced to resist it.

This is the entrance to the palace, and the eyes of the imperial guards are staring at her. If she dares to run now, she will be punished in a short time.

The crime of contempt for the prince——

"See the Eighth Prince." Lu Xiang lowered his head and saluted.

"No courtesy." Although Chu Jinyan's face was cold, his eyes were as gentle as water: "Are you entering the palace? Let's go together."

Lu Xiang was startled and hurriedly shook his head like a wave drum: "No need, I am of low status and dare not go with His Highness. Your Highness invites you first."

As soon as she caught Chu Jinyan's gaze, she immediately looked away in panic.

Chu Jinyan suddenly frowned and realized that something was not right with Lu Xiang today.

A year ago, they were sitting together eating, chatting and laughing. Why did this girl suddenly not dare to look up at him?

"Lu Xiang, what are you doing that is shameful?"

Lu Xiang choked: "..." Why are you doing such shameful things?
