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

Madam Lu held a banquet today, naturally to demonstrate her unshakable position in the Lu family.

Wen Qiqi had long been accustomed to the Lu family's behavior. When the third and fourth rooms came in, Old Madam Lu had held a grand dinner party, displayed all the valuable things in her house in public, and used Lu Shengshi to tell them how filial Lu Zhanyao was to her.

Today is no exception.

Yu Zhenzhu was still frightened by what had just happened, and her eyes kept falling on Wen Qiqi.

"Our Lu family is a family of scholars, not one of those unruly mansions. My brother is filial to his mother and always puts his parents first!"

Lu Shengshi spoke, and Old Madam Lu nodded with satisfaction.

Lu Xingcheng followed his aunt and flattered, "Grandma is kind and generous. I will study hard and continue the glory of the Lu family."

Aunt Mei and the second and third wives all nodded, but Wen Qiqi was the only one who was eating by herself, showing no intention of cooperating at all.

"Qiqi."

Mrs. Lu finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Yu Zhenzhu was so presumptuous today. She must have thought that she had a godfather like Lord Yu and did not take the Lu family seriously.

Wen Qiqi was born into a noble family. If she didn't show her loyalty to Yu Zhenzhu in front of her, Yu Zhenzhu would definitely think that she was just like Wen Qiqi, and it would be great to have a mother's family that was superior to the Lu family.

"Ever since you married into our Lu family, you have worked hard to manage everything, and you have been respectful and filial to me, your mother-in-law. As the principal wife, it is your responsibility to set an example. You concubines should learn from the principal wife."

Wen Qiqi couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard Old Madam Lu trying to flatter herself by praising her.

"Mother, I married into the Lu family, but I don't even have an heir, which has always made you very unhappy... Why did you ask the third, fourth, and fifth rooms to learn from me today? If they were all like me, then the Lu family would be extinct."

puff!

She played the card of honesty, so no one could do anything about it!

Madam Lu felt very uncomfortable when she heard this...

"That's not right, Qiqi. Although you don't have any children, your marriage to the Lu family was granted by the emperor. This shows how much the emperor values ​​the Lu family. His grace is enormous! In addition, the dowry your mother's family gave you is generous..."

Old Madam Lu acted in a high-handed manner, and her face was full of glory when she mentioned the emperor's grace and the Wen family's accompaniment.

"This long screen is carved from a whole piece of jade. The craftsman's craftsmanship is superb, and the jade is extremely precious. Such a large piece of jade is extremely rare even in the palace... I heard that it was a treasure bestowed by the Empress Dowager after General Wen won the battle! Fifth room, have you ever seen such a large piece of jade before?"

Yu Zhenzhu looked at the jade screen, a hint of annoyance rising in her eyes.

Isn't it just a screen?

To show off to such an extent!

Although I was born in a red-light district, as a top prostitute, I have seen countless good things.

Besides, no matter how good this screen is, it was a reward from the Empress Dowager to General Wen, not to your Lu family. Why do you have to show off in front of me, Yu Zhenzhu?

Yu Zhenzhu was unhappy in her heart. She paused, smiled with her almond-shaped eyes, and said humorously, "Mother, I have never seen such a unique and expensive screen before. Since it was given by the Empress Dowager, it must be a priceless treasure. If I hadn't married into the Lu Mansion, how would I have had the chance to see it?"

When everyone heard this, they were very happy.

Especially Madam Lu, her expression was even more proud.

Lu Xingcheng felt a burning pain on his face at this moment. When Yu Zhenzhu spoke, he frowned, and the wound became even more painful.

Aunt Mei felt sorry for her son. Yu Zhenzhu's claws were too powerful. The wound was so deep...

As the saying goes, don't hit people in the face!

Yu Zhenzhu herself is a shameless bitch, and she actually grabbed Xingcheng's face!

"younger sister……"

Aunt Mei smiled slightly and said in a gloomy way, "Now that you know how valuable this screen is, you should control your temper in the future and don't get angry easily. If you break this treasure, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay for it with all your savings over the years."

After these words were spoken, Lu Shengshi and the third and fourth wives looked at each other and laughed.

Aunt Mei also pursed her lips!

Yu Zhenzhu's face suddenly changed, but Madam Lu was also angry because she hit Xingcheng, and she felt that Aunt Mei was right to humiliate her.

"Indeed, Pearl. You should change your previous temper. Otherwise, you are not worthy of being our Zhan Yao's concubine."

Not even worthy of being a concubine!

Lu Zhanyao didn't say that in front of Lord Yu.

Lord Yu used himself to test his loyalty, and he did not hesitate at all. He was so grateful that he quickly agreed to marry her...

These days, I have been trying all kinds of ways to make him happy. He stays in his room every night and hates not to go to the morning court.

A family of scholars...

The Lu family is indeed a family of scholars!

Yu Zhenzhu has seen countless people, so how could she not see what kind of treacherous person Lu Zhanyao has under his scholarly appearance?

"Yes, I have to be careful next time. It was Pearl who was reckless today..."

She pretended to be humble and apologized with lowered brows.

Lu Xingcheng raised his head and glared at her with a little air: "Fifth Aunt, since you know you are wrong, it's good. Mother has always taught me that as the son of the main wife, I should be magnanimous, so I won't bother with you."

He swallowed this breath with difficulty.

But he kept this grudge in his heart!

"But, Fifth Aunt, you really need to listen to your grandmother and change your temper. Mother is the daughter of the Wen family, a family with great military exploits and a rich dowry, but mother is not as frivolous as Fifth Aunt..."

Lu Xingcheng felt that he was full of talent and good at speaking, and he could embarrass Yu Zhenzhu with just one word and avenge the fact that she had her face scratched today!

Yu Zhenzhu has been hanging around in the entertainment circles for many years, so how could she be afraid of a young boy like Lu Xingcheng?

"Hehe... yes, your mother's dowry is generous, but... but Zhenzhu doesn't understand, shouldn't the dowry sent by the Wen family be placed in the lady's yard? Why is it placed here with mother..."

Uh!

Madam Lu looked embarrassed.

She had always been thinking about Wen Qiqi's dowry. During the first one or two years when Wen Qiqi entered the Wen Mansion, she was too embarrassed to speak up.

Later, Lu Zhanyao adopted Lu Xingcheng to Wen Qiqi. Old Mrs. Lu then felt that the Lu family had done a great favor to Wen Qiqi, and it was justified for her to ask her for things!

"This is Qiqi's gift to me, her mother-in-law."

"no!"

A voice suddenly sounded, and it was Wen Qiqi who spoke.

Madam Lu was lying with her eyes open. She was disgusted. She really couldn't eat anymore...

"Mother, I'm afraid you remembered it wrongly. This jade screen was borrowed from you and me... I think it was the year before last, when you first invited Madam Qin and Madam Yu to come and enjoy the moon and flowers."

Wen Qiqi said with a slight smile.

Madam Lu's face was so embarrassed that it turned red all the way to her neck.

"Is... is that so? I am old now, I really remembered it wrongly."

"Mother, this screen has been here for more than two years. It is naturally given to you by my sister-in-law as a gift. We are a family, so why bother to talk about whether to lend it or not?"

Lu Shengshi raised his head and said domineeringly.

"My eldest sister-in-law is filial. Would she be reluctant to give good things to her mother-in-law?"

This sounds so damn familiar!

In the previous life, Old Madam Lu and Lu Shengshi sang the same tune and moved away the dowry sent by the Wen family piece by piece...

Although Wen Qiqi was reluctant, she always pretended to be magnanimous and let her mother-in-law and sister-in-law choose freely.

She did not keep the rest well, but took it to the pawnshop without hesitation to exchange it for silver when the Lu family was in need. She worked hard to pave the way for her husband's career and spend money to promote Xingcheng.

A large part of it was sent to Lord Yu’s residence.

Unfortunately, in the end, the entire Wen family died at the hands of Lord Yu and Lu Zhanyao!
