My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

This voice is so familiar!

Wen Qiqi immediately frowned and looked at Xinyi.

Xinyi was looking at the door, and hatred suddenly appeared in his eyes...

"Miss, it's him!"

Wen Qiqi could of course recognize the voice. She subconsciously clenched her fists, lowered her eyes, and the next second quickly pulled Xinyi to the corner...

This place is secluded and blocked by a screen, so people coming in through the door can't see them at all.

The two of them pretended to continue looking at the jewelry tacitly, but out of the corner of their eyes they saw Lu Zhanyao, Lu Shengshi and Aunt Mei supporting Old Madam Lu as they walked into the jewelry shop. Old Madam Lu looked radiant today and was as happy as if it was New Year!

"Mother, I have long wanted to be filial to you! But I never had the chance. Now that you have returned to Kyoto, I must buy you some jewelry to show off your current status!"

Lu Zhanyao looks like a filial son.

"He is not dead!"

My teeth are itching with hatred!

Wasn’t Lu Zhanyao exiled to a remote area, where he fell seriously ill and died suddenly on the way?

How come he is standing right in front of me!

Wen Qiqi was not surprised. She had long suspected that Lu Zhanyao had escaped in this life...

But she had no evidence.

In my previous life, the grudge between me and the Lu family was so deep. Now that I am starting over in this life, how could God let the Lu family leave so early?

"Son! You're thoughtful!"

Madam Lu was so beautiful that she couldn't even close her mouth, and her eyes were fixed on the jade earrings in the waiter's hand, unable to move away.

"Madam, these are the best jade earrings in our store! These two pairs of earrings are very suitable for people of your age... Many powerful old ladies in Kyoto have bought these jade earrings from our store!"

The clerk in the jewelry store was very smart and had Madam Lu under control with just one sentence.

"really……"

Madam Lu was immediately overjoyed and asked anxiously.

Even though the Lu Mansion has been ransacked, Old Madam Lu lives in the Lan Mansion granted by the Empress Dowager, and still dreams of being a powerful old lady in Kyoto.

During this period, she and Lu Shengshi did not dare to show up in public. They were already feeling very depressed and only wished they could return to their former glory days.

Today, Lu Zhanyao said it was okay to go out for a walk, and actually took her to the jewelry shop.

Madam Lu's eyes sparkled. She took the jade earrings from the waiter's hand and compared them. Then she asked Lu Shengshi, "Which pair do you think would make mother look more noble?"

Lu Shengshi took a look and said, "Mom, these earrings don't look cheap."

Although they have returned to Kyoto, the Lu Mansion no longer exists and the whole family now relies on Lu Xingcheng for survival.

These days, Aunt Mei has the final say on all household expenses!

Lu Shengshi was afraid that Madam Lu's excessive expenses would cause dissatisfaction from Aunt Mei. Although her brother had said so today and Aunt Mei had followed her brother's wishes and accompanied her mother-in-law to the street, Lu Shengshi felt a little uneasy in her heart.

"What's the big deal about it being expensive? Your brother said that he would buy me some expensive jewelry today to show his filial piety!"

Madam Lu glared at Lu Shengshi and said, "Could it be that you are afraid that some people are unwilling to spend money on their mother-in-law?"

Lu Shengshi swallowed her saliva and raised her head: "Of course Aunt Mei wouldn't do that."

My brother went out with my mother today, so even if Aunt Mei was upset, she didn't dare to go too far...

Thinking of this, Lu Shengshi pointed directly at one of the pairs of jade earrings and said, "Mom, I think this pair is more beautiful! This jade is clear and the color is pure. It will definitely show your status when you wear it!"

identity!

What is her identity now?

Aunt Mei was so angry that her heart ached. Now the entire Lu family was only living on the little money her son earned from being a eunuch in the Cining Palace.

But she really didn't know what to say, after all, Lu Zhanyao had made it very clear last night.

For Xingcheng's sake, Aunt Mei could only swallow her anger for the time being.

"Mom, if you like it, just buy it! Anyway, Zhan Yao said that today we must be filial to you and make you happy...but...but it's not easy for your eldest grandson to stay in the palace, and at your age, there is no decent place to go...just buy a pair of similar price."

Aunt Mei said in a low voice, and Lu Zhanyao looked at her fiercely: "You have no right to interrupt when buying things for my mother! Man... this is the right one! Also, bring the rings in your store over here, so that my mother can choose as much as she wants!"

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she was immediately overjoyed.

She didn't know the value of the goods, so the waiter showed her the red chalcedony ring that he had just recommended to Wen Qiqi and Xinyi. She liked it at first sight and insisted on buying two.

"Mom, wear one. Buy one for your sister Sheng Shi. Your sister is now old enough to get married. She must dress better so that others will respect her!"

Aunt Mei gritted her teeth in anger, but for Xingcheng, she endured it.

Madam Lu asked again, "I remember that time when I went to the Sixth Princess's residence, I saw Madam Xu wearing an agate bracelet! I liked it so much at that time... but I couldn't buy it. Today, mother, buy one!"

After a moment of silence, Lu Zhanyao nodded: "Buy!"

Old Madam Lu was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. The agate bracelet was not cheap. The waiter said that it would cost fifty taels of silver to buy a genuine and high-quality agate bracelet.

This bracelet is commensurate with the gold beans, so the price is naturally more expensive.

Madam Lu fell in love with it at first sight!

"Yes, yes. This is the one that Old Madam Xu wore that day! Mother likes it, mother likes it..."

"purchase!"

Lu Zhanyao spent more than seventy taels of silver on Madam Lu in one go, buying her jade earrings, two carnelian rings, and an expensive agate and gold bean bracelet...

He seemed to be in a hurry. It took him only a short while to buy these things. After paying the silver, he quickly helped Madam Lu leave.

Xinyi and Wen Qiqi turned around and waited for the Lu family to leave. Xinyi couldn't help but whispered, "He didn't die, but made a fortune! He spent money like water!"

Wen Qiqi was also very surprised!

Lu Zhanyao could be considered to have escaped and did not dare to show up in public.

The Lu family's current expenses should be based on Lu Xingcheng's rewards and official silver in the Cining Palace...

Although the Empress Dowager dotes on Lu Xingcheng, the Lu family is a large family with expenses, and the so-called Lan Mansion is full of newly hired servants, so which item doesn't require expenses!

Besides, Aunt Mei has always been very careful with her money. She was born as a maid in the Lu family's room. It is impossible for her to use her own son's body to get the money. She is so generous and filial to her mother-in-law...

Thinking about it this way, Lu Zhanyao's way of spending money like water seems very strange!

"Lu Xingcheng got into trouble in the palace, but Lu Zhanyao bought so many jewels for Madam Lu... How strange!"

I also felt something was wrong: "I saw Aunt Mei's face was very unhappy, but I had to agree!"
