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

"Girls, the ruby ​​ring you asked for has been retrieved. You two girls know what's good, take a good look! This is the most authentic jewel ring in our store. If I didn't see that you two girls are also discerning people, I wouldn't have gone to the warehouse to bother."

The guy gently placed the ring in front of the two men.

Wen Qiqi just said, "Please put the ring away for the two of us. We'll be out for a while and back soon."

After saying that, she grabbed her heart and quickly chased out of the jewelry store without saying a word...

The four people from the Lu family have already walked away.

Wen Qiqi took a look at his intention, and the two of them understood. They immediately separated and walked on both sides of the road, and followed him quietly.

Lu Zhanyao was still very careful when going out on the street today.

Although he was not considered a serious criminal in the Heavenly Prison, he managed to escape when he was exiled to the bitter cold place, which is a serious crime!

He had served as an official in the imperial court, and many of his colleagues in Kyoto knew him.

Fortunately, most of the people walking on the street were ordinary people. He used his collar to cover half of his face. If there was a passing carriage, he would push Sheng Shi's broad body in front of him...

"Mom, what else do you want to buy? It's not easy to go to the street today, so why not just buy something to show your filial piety to me."

Lu Zhanyao said in Madam Lu's ear.

Madam Lu was very happy, swaying her body and said, "Buy a few more pieces of the best cloth. I have always liked Fuguang brocade and Shu brocade, and the clothes I wear are also made of those two kinds of cloth. Buy a few more pieces today and make a few suitable clothes for me and Sheng Shi!"

After all, she is my own daughter!

Aunt Mei was so angry that her teeth were itching. The mother and daughter were now spending the money that her own son had earned in the Cining Palace!

In the past, I tried every means to please the mother and daughter of the Lu family in the Lu Mansion. Now that the situation has changed, they are still shameless.

Bear with it!

Bear with it!

Just bear with it for now!

Aunt Mei kept reminding herself!

Now that Xingcheng has gotten into trouble in the Cining Palace, he needs his father Lu Zhanyao to plan and deal with it.

Otherwise, as a left-behind woman, what can she do for Xingcheng?

"Mom, you're right! Now we are still the same as when we were in the Lu Mansion, with good clothes and things. If I can marry a man of my dreams in the future, our Lu family will surely be even better than before..."

Lu Shengshi was halfway through his words when he saw Lu Zhanyao's unhappy expression.

"Brother, don't worry! I don't mean to steal your credit... I am your sister, and you are not doing your best now. But I still have a chance! Mom can spend more money on me, and you don't have to feel bad. As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse!"

Lu Shengshi spoke righteously.

"Brother, you have nothing to rely on now. Does our Lu family have to rely on Xingcheng forever? After all, he is a useless person... I think the Lu family can only rely on me in the future!"

Lu Shengshi's words "useless person" immediately offended both Lu Zhanyao and Aunt Mei.

Aunt Mei, in particular, had clenched her fists tightly at this point, wishing she could dig her nails into the flesh of her palms.

Lu Zhanyao was also very unhappy!

My sister has always been strong. Old Madam Lu has doted on this daughter since she was a child, almost even more than her own son.

Lu Shengshi has never taken Lu Zhanyao seriously.

Sometimes, Lu Zhanyao was even glad that she was not a younger brother. If she was a brother, he would have no place in the Lu family at all.

At present, he has been dismissed from his official position, living in secrecy, and his only son, Lu Xingcheng, who he can rely on, has become a eunuch!

Although the current Lan Mansion was acquired thanks to Lu Xingcheng, today, when he heard these words from his own sister, his heart instantly sank.

No one can really look up to a eunuch. Even if Lu Xingcheng becomes as successful as Lord Yu in the palace and climbs as high as him in the future, so what?

That fatal wound, once mentioned by someone unexpectedly, will become a bloody cut that can never heal.

When Lu Zhanyao thought of Lord Yu, he understood this feeling even more clearly.

He followed Lord Yu in the beginning, tried his best to curry favor with him and express his loyalty, but he never really took Lord Yu seriously...

Sheng Shi is right.

That’s absolutely right!

However, as Xingcheng's aunt, it was really too much for her to say such words in front of Lu Xingcheng's biological parents!

However, Madam Lu did not have the slightest intention of refutation.

The next second, he nodded heavily.

"Your sister is right! Now, our Lu family can't just rely on Xingcheng! Your sister must dress up well. It's the right age for her to get married. If she can find a good husband, our Lu family will have a new way out! Just buy some more fabrics today. We won't be short of that little bit of silver!"

That little bit of silver!

Both Fuguang Brocade and Shu Brocade are not cheap fabrics, and ordinary families cannot afford to buy even one piece in a year.

Madam Lu opened her mouth and wanted to buy several pieces, and even said that she didn't need that little money!

Aunt Mei took a deep breath and looked at Lu Zhanyao with a tense expression.

He lowered his eyes and calmed himself down: "Buy!"

The corners of Aunt Mei's mouth twitched, and she secretly bit the flesh in her mouth. A bloody smell instantly spread.

"Miss, are the Lu family crazy? They are buying jewelry and fabrics, as if they have made a fortune! With the current status of the Lu family, they would not be so extravagant!"

Xinyi and the young lady walked separately because they were worried about being discovered.

Seeing them enter the fabric store, he ran to the young lady's side.

The two of them took shelter from a large tree in front of the fabric store, talking in low voices while keeping an eye out to see if the Lu family had come out.

Wen Qiqi also felt strange. After a short while, the four people from the Lu family came out of the store.

This fabric store and the ready-made clothing store are integrated. After Lu Zhanyao came out, he took Old Madam Lu into the ready-made clothing store next door, probably to measure the size of the clothes and prepare to make clothes.

"My mother is anxious to wear it, you must hurry up... it would be best if you can make it tomorrow."

Wen Qiqi watched Lu Zhanyao take out some small change from his pocket and give it to the master in the garment shop.

The master was obviously in a dilemma and said frankly that he had too much work on hand and was worried that he would not be able to finish it.

Lu Zhanyao added, "Master, please help me. My sister's two pieces are not urgent, but my mother's three pieces...please finish one at least! Oh, that black flowered one, you must finish it!"

"OK then!"

The master agreed.

Wen Qiqi was stunned. He remembered that Old Madam Lu never liked black clothes. She said that as she got older, she should wear something festive to look good.

"What's wrong with Madam Lu? She wants to make black clothes, but she's in a hurry to wear them... If you don't know, you might think she's rushing to make her own burial clothes!"

Xinyi became angry when she thought of what Madam Lu had done to the young lady in the past. As soon as she said that, Wen Qiqi pinched her arm.

Xinyi smiled painfully: "I know, I know! Miss is teaching me that no matter what, Madam Lu is old, and I shouldn't say such things... It's just that this black cloth dress really looks like a shroud! I saw Lu Zhanyao just pointing at the ready-made clothing style over there... and asked the master to make the same one."

His intention was not wrong, Lu Zhanyao really wanted to make the most old-fashioned style of shroud.

But Madam Lu had a rosy complexion and was still in good health, so there was really no reason for her to choose burial clothes for herself in advance.

Is it...

Wen Qiqi suddenly thought of something, but the next second, she shook her head and said to herself: "Impossible... After all, Lu Zhanyao is a filial son, and that's his biological mother!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a hand suddenly appeared from behind and gently placed on Wen Qiqi's shoulder.

Then, a voice suddenly sounded: "So what if she's my mother? Is there anything he can't do?"

Wen Qiqi and Xinyi were shocked when they saw the hand which was as delicate and slender as a scallion.

The two turned around quickly: "Why is it you?"
