My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!
Chapter 37 Overestimating one’s own capabilities
"Mother, brother, I have made up my mind. I, Lu Shengshi, will not marry anyone but the Thirteenth Prince in this life. Bring all these foods away! I won't eat a single bite."
"They only pamper me and spoil me in these little things, but now that it's time to fight for my lifelong event, my parents don't love me, and my brother doesn't care about me anymore, wuwuwuwu!"
Lu Shengshi directly started to act like Miss Lu, which made Old Madam Lu extremely anxious.
"Sheng Shi, you haven't eaten for a whole day. At least have a few bites. Look, this is the lotus root and lean meat soup that Mama Zhang and her friends just cooked today. It tastes delicious, dear child, why don't you have a bowl!"
"Slap"!
Lu Shengshi directly knocked the soup bowl in Madam Lu's hand to the ground.
Lu Zhanyao stood up angrily: "Sheng Shi, don't go too far. It's not that we don't help you in this matter. Do you know that if our Lu family doesn't know the depth of the matter and angers the Thirteenth Prince, then it will anger the Queen Mother."
Seeing that her brother, who had always been humble, suddenly became furious and lost his temper at her, Lu Shengshi could no longer bear it.
"I know you're just afraid that your career will be affected because of me."
She glared at Old Madam Lu and yelled, "There is no brother as selfish as you in the world. You and I are brothers and sisters in our Lu family and we have the same father and mother. The others are fine... but you treat me like this. Do you really think your parents are dead?"
Lu Shengshi was so angry that she didn't care about anything. The word "death" was the most taboo for Mrs. Lu. Her face changed immediately and she was about to cover the girl's mouth.
"How can you say such harsh words to each other when you are angry with each other? It's not that your brother doesn't want to help you... He is just in a difficult situation. Don't worry, your brother will slowly find a solution."
Lu Zhanyao's face turned pale. For so many years, whenever Sheng Shi acted like a spoiled child, her mother would coax her like this.
As an older brother, I should give in when necessary.
"Mom, you don't have to lie to her. I can't do anything about this. You should persuade her to give up this idea as soon as possible."
He sighed in disgust.
"I am not afraid of making you sad, but I cannot help but tell the truth. The woman who will marry the Thirteenth Prince in the future must be proficient in everything, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, and dancing."
"For the Thirteenth Prince, I can learn."
Lu Zhanyao originally wanted to find a reason to make his sister give up completely, but he never thought that Sheng Shi was really obsessed this time.
"Sheng Shi, why don't you understand?" Looking at his sister's rosy face, Lu Zhanyao wanted to tell the truth but couldn't bring himself to say it.
"Anyway, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible. If you really want to get married, I will discuss it with Master Yu in the future."
"I do not want……"
Lu Shengshi started crying!
"Well, Lord Yu has been in the court for so many years and has a wide network of contacts. I can choose a son of a minister in the court for you, and he will ensure that you will have no worries in your life and will be the main wife."
Lu Zhanyao sighed, "You should always consider yourself before doing anything, so as not to be wronged or humiliated. My brother said good things to you. Although people tend to go to higher places and water tends to flow to lower places, the Thirteenth Prince is something that we in the Lu family cannot reach even if we tiptoe."
As soon as Lu Zhanyao finished speaking, he heard a clear and pleasant voice suddenly coming from outside the door.
"That's not the case. I think everything depends on human effort. If Sheng Shi is willing, she might be able to impress the Thirteenth Prince."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Qiqi walked in with a gentle smile. When Mrs. Lu thought of how she had caused her precious grandson to be seriously injured this time, she turned her head to the side, put on a cold face and refused to look at her.
Lu Zhanyao also frowned slightly: "When did you come here?"
"I've been here for a while. I heard you guys talking, so I just stood at the door and didn't come in. Blame me for eavesdropping, blame me for eavesdropping. Hehe, we're all family, you don't have to talk behind my back."
Without all the worries from his previous life, worrying about this person's unhappiness or that person's unhappiness, Wen Qiqi is now very familiar with dealing with this family and can do it with ease.
The Lu family bullied her because she was a lady from a noble family. She was dignified and elegant, but also extremely sensitive inside and always took everyone's feelings into consideration.
Now Qiqi took the initiative, smiling like a flower and looking relaxed, which made the Lu family members at a loss.
Xingcheng was injured so badly. Logically, as a mother, she should have reflected on her mistakes behind closed doors. When she saw Old Madam Lu, she lowered her head and dared not raise it.
"I didn't betray you, but it's useless to tell you about this. You should focus more on Xingcheng. A student was forced to practice martial arts. Now he is covered in injuries and his studies have been delayed."
Madam Lu scolded harshly with a cold face.
She will remember Xingcheng's injury clearly.
"Mom... Xingcheng was injured because he was not good at martial arts. He and my brother started to hire a master to teach us the same year, and you all know that I hired the same master for them." Wen Qiqi took the lead and slapped him the hardest with the most gentle tone.
"If you ask me, this injury is a good thing, as it's a lesson he learned."
Wen Qiqi raised her eyes and looked at her husband Lu Zhanyao, and continued with a slight smile on her red lips: "Otherwise, if you spend all your energy on being slick and smooth talking in the future, and only write some crap articles to flatter the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, how good will that be?"
The muscles on Lu Zhanyao's face were tightly stretched.
Wen Qiqi was his legitimate wife, of noble status. It would be fine if she was obedient, but if she really targeted him and argued with him, then Lu Zhanyao would not be able to do anything to his wife.
"Okay, I'm tired today. If there's nothing else, you can all go back to your rooms. I want to rest."
Madam Lu's face turned cold and she ordered them to leave.
When Wen Qiqi pretended to walk toward the door, Old Madam Lu murmured in a low voice, "It will only increase the ambition of her own family and destroy the prestige of our Lu Mansion."
The emperor likes Lu Zhanyao's articles and appreciates his talent. This is what a minister should be most proud of.
"Her mother's family is a military family, but her father and brothers are all dead!"
Although Mother Lu's voice was soft, Wen Qiqi could still hear it clearly.
Lu Zhanyao was horrified and quickly winked at Lu's mother.
Only then did Mother Lu realize the trouble she had caused.
"Seven seven..."
Lu Zhanyao followed with lingering fear. He thought Wen Qiqi would burst into tears, but she just smiled indifferently, as if she hadn't heard anything.
"Zhan Yao, the Sixth Princess' birthday party is coming soon. I came here today to discuss with you the gift I should give... Also, the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes will definitely be present at the Sixth Princess' birthday party. If Sheng Shi goes with me as my aunt, no one else should be able to say anything else."
She is as calm as water, yet also bottomless.
