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

"How dare you talk to my mother like that! Yu Zhenzhu, do you know that the Lu family is managed by my mother, and my mother is the principal wife, a rich lady from the Wen family? What the hell are you!"

Lu Xingcheng immediately stood up and strongly defended Wen Qiqi.

"A lowly fellow from a red-light district! Now that he has entered our Lu residence, he is pretending to be the master!"

Yu Zhenzhu knew that no one in the Lu Mansion would truly respect her.

That night, she followed Lu Zhanyao to pay her respects to Wen Qiqi. On the surface, Wen Qiqi did not make things difficult for her, but behind her back, no one knew how many bad things she had said to her adopted son.

Otherwise, why would a teenager who was studying curse her in secret like this?

"No matter how humble I am, I am still your aunt. Your mother is noble, but she can't even give birth to a child!"

"Mother has me!"

Lu Xingcheng roared: "My relationship with my mother is deeper than that of a biological child."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Wen Qiqi...

My mother must be very touched by my protection like this, right?

"Xingcheng."

"My son is here."

Wen Qiqi spoke, and Lu Xingcheng quickly responded.

"Apologize to Fifth Aunt immediately."

Wen Qiqi's words frightened Lu Xingcheng. He looked up at Wen Qiqi in disbelief, extremely puzzled: "Mother, I really don't know what I did wrong? Fifth Aunt was disrespectful to you, why... "

"Don't call me mother all the time. Whether I am your mother in the future depends on whether you can pass my test."

Wen Qiqi had not forgotten this, and Lu Xingcheng's eyes were full of disappointment.

Even though I stood up for my mother, it didn't change her principles at all.

"Yes... But in my son's heart, mother will always be mother, and I will never allow anyone to be unreasonable with her. I think I did nothing wrong, and I will never apologize to a prostitute."

Lu Xingcheng glared at Yu Zhenzhu fiercely: "My son is a scholar, and the people he despises the most are low-class people."

"Your father is also a scholar."

Wen Qiqi saw out of the corner of her eye that Madam Lu, Aunt Mei, and the third and fourth wives were hurrying towards this side, and she knew that someone must have secretly informed Madam Lu.

She didn't even turn around, but said to Lu Xingcheng solemnly, "The Fifth Aunt is the concubine your father married back, and she is also your mother. You keep calling her a lowlife and a prostitute. Could it be that you think your father has bad conduct and that the Lu family is not worthy of the title of a scholarly family?"

Lu Xingcheng's eyes were blank and full of grievance.

Yu Zhenzhu never expected that Wen Qiqi would speak for her, and a hint of pride appeared in her eyes.

It turns out that the daughter of the Wen family is so timid and cowardly, and can only be humble and easy-going!

"Since I came into the mansion, your father has stayed at my place every night. This is enough to prove that I have won his heart. Even if I was born in a brothel, so what? That is a thing of the past. I am now the adopted daughter of Lord Yu and the fifth concubine of your Lu Mansion! If you dare to gossip behind my back and disrespect me, I will teach you a lesson!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fifth Aunt Yu Zhenzhu rushed up, grabbed Lu Xingcheng by the collar, and grabbed his face like a shrew!

Lu Xingcheng couldn't dodge in time, and his nose suddenly hurt, and five bloody marks appeared on his face...

"Xingcheng!"

Aunt Mei rushed over regardless of everything and pushed Yu Zhenzhu away!

"Yu Zhenzhu, you are so presumptuous! This is the Lu Mansion, not a place for you to act wildly. Madam, why don't you speak up and punish this ignorant Fifth Aunt!"

Seeing her son being arrested like this, tears welled up in Aunt Mei's eyes.

Madam Lu felt sorry for her grandson. Aunt Mei dragged Xingcheng over to show him to her grandmother. She was so angry that she choked and said, "Mother! Look at what Xingcheng has been like after being arrested! An aunt actually beat someone up! You heard it just now, too. His mother even asked him to apologize to Yu Zhenzhu!"

"It's really too much!"

How could Mrs. Lu not love her grandson? He was the most favored child in the Lu family and would have a brighter future than Lu Zhanyao.

"Qiqi, you come and handle this matter! You are the boss now, and I want to see if you have the ability to do this!"

As soon as Madam Lu finished speaking, Lu Shengshi said, "If it were me, I would never forgive anyone who dared to touch the descendants of the Lu family!"

Seeing that everyone was ready to deal with her, Yu Zhenzhu showed a little fear.

"Mother, aunt, you don't know, Lu Xingcheng and his mother just scolded me, every word was unpleasant to hear, I was so angry that I lost control."

"Who heard it!"

Lu Shengshi shouted, "Are you going to let your two girls testify for you?"

"you……"

Yu Zhenzhu's eyes were slightly red, but she held it back.

She had suffered all kinds of grievances in the red-light district since she was a child, and no one had ever stood up to say a word for her.

What kind of humiliation have you not endured?

What kind of grievance is too hard to swallow?

That's it!

The Lu Mansion is not a place where you can reason. No one here will respect you.

"I don't have any witnesses, but I will swear to heaven today! If the young master really cursed me, his concubine, behind my back, then... he will not die a good death!"

Cursing is a common method used by women in red-light district.

They are of low status and often suffer bullying, so this is the only way for them to vent their deep-seated dissatisfaction and protest.

The Lu family burned incense and prayed to Buddha every year, and no one in the mansion dared to say a single unlucky word.

Especially Old Madam Lu, who was so frightened by the four words uttered by Yu Zhenzhu that she staggered, but was fortunately held steadily by Aunt Mei and Lu Shengshi.

"How dare you... be so arrogant! Although Xingcheng is the eldest son, you are also his mother. How dare you curse him to die? What bad luck! What bad luck! Qiqi, make her disappear from my sight immediately! I can't stand her! Oh, I'm so angry!"

In ancient times, if the wife punished the concubine with good reason, no one else could interfere.

The lightest punishment could be a beating or imprisonment for a period of time.

In serious cases, it may cost one's life, and this has happened in some governments.

Yu Zhenzhu realized something and looked at Wen Qiqi with horror.

I have been very arrogant since I first met her, and I have offended her a lot today. Now that the old lady of the Lu Mansion has spoken, she will definitely not let me off easily.

"lady……"

"You were wrong about what happened today, but Xingcheng did curse you behind your back first, so he deserves to be beaten. Mother, Aunt Mei, others cannot testify, but I can."

After hearing Qiqi's words, Lu Xingcheng, who was sobbing in his grandmother's arms, widened his eyes and shouted in disbelief: "Mother... why don't you care about Xingcheng?"

"Since I am the mistress of the Lu family, I must be fair."

She looked at Mother Lu and said, "Mother, Yu Zhenzhu has just entered the mansion and doesn't know many rules yet. It's not her fault. These days, she has been busy serving her husband and has no time to learn the rules of the mansion. Why don't I take her back to my place after dinner today and teach her sister well?"

Yu Zhenzhu's face gradually turned red, and she lowered her head, not daring to breathe loudly.

Madam Lu was silent for a long time, snorted, and led everyone to sit down.

"Madam, Pearl thanks you for what happened today."

Yu Zhenzhu blushed and wiped the cold sweat from her neck twice.

Wen Qiqi glanced at her and said dignifiedly and coldly: "Since you are afraid of losing your life in this Lu Mansion, don't listen to others and make trouble. People's lives are in their own hands. No one can be trusted by others."
