The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

Lu Yun received several birthday gifts. Roujia sent a message to her that she wanted to come in person, but she had something to do at home and couldn't leave.

Maybe she was really busy, so this year Roujia gave her a box of pearls, which you could tell was just taken from the store to make up the number.

After eating the longevity noodles made by my mother, this year’s birthday came to a perfect end.

Lu Yun looked at the small box on the table. Liu Qing had not yet noticed Zhou Boli. The man seemed to have disappeared without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.

On March 3rd, the outing will arrive as scheduled.

Zhang got up early to dress up. Seeing her daughter looking listless and yawning, she watched her drink a bowl of strong tea. After she finished dressing, she immediately got into the carriage.

The Lu Mansion has its own tent, which is located further back than in previous years.

Qin estimated the approximate location and brought people to find it.

The two sisters-in-law greeted each other, and Qin gave Lu Zhen a push, "Go ahead, go out for a walk with your sister Rong."

Seeing that the young ladies had all left, Qin explained her purpose: "Cheng'er and his wife want a divorce."

Zhang was surprised and asked, "What's going on? They're getting divorced all of a sudden."

"Isn't it because of Cheng'er's new concubine?" Qin's words were vague, and Zhang could probably guess something. "Is it because Cheng'er dotes on his concubine too much?"

There were other reasons, but Qin Shi didn't say much. She just said, "Alas, every family takes a concubine. I've advised her many times to be more generous and wait for a while. But she just won't listen and looks determined."

Zhang looked strange, and after a moment she asked, "What did my in-laws say?"

Qin Shi was at a loss for words and lowered her voice, "I'm afraid all my in-laws agree to the divorce."

This was a difficult situation. Thinking of Lu Cheng's personality, Zhang didn't want to persuade him any further. "I've met Chen, she's very reasonable. Sister-in-law, try to persuade her again. If that doesn't work, there's nothing we can do."

Qin was unhappy when she heard this. She squinted at her sister-in-law and said, "A few days ago, the Lu family sent me a wedding invitation. Did you know that the eldest son of the Lu family is getting married?"

Zhang smiled and said, "Congratulations. The Lu family has been very busy lately, and we are a small family so we won't join in the fun."

Qin curled her lips. "That's all, but there's an interesting story about this Master Lu." She then revealed a look of amusement. "A few days ago, many people saw this Master Lu parading around with a face full of slap marks. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, how unrefined."

Some people even gave him the nickname "Lü Bazi".

Zhang laughed out loud. "Even now, Master Lu's unmarried wife hasn't made a fuss?"

"The girl from the Cui family relies on the uncle's mansion. Although her brother is promising, he is still immature. How could he dare to make trouble? He can only swallow his anger." Qin explained clearly.

Zhang did not comment.

Cousin sisters Lu Zhen and Lu Rong walked to a shady place and sat down, looking at the flower boat on the lake from afar. There was already a young lady who had been favored by the flower boat.

Lu Rong knew that she had no chance, so she looked at Lu Zhen beside her and said, "My sister has become more and more beautiful."

Lu Zhen thanked her softly, not even looking at her, staring at the red embroidered shoes on her feet, as if she didn't want to talk. Lu Rong suddenly felt bored and stopped talking, staring at the lake in a trance.

"Cousin Rong, can you promise me one thing?" Lu Zhen suddenly spoke.

Lu Rong frowned. "Sister Zhen, if you encounter any difficulties that you can't talk about, I'll talk to my aunt on your behalf."

Lu Zhen neither nodded nor shook her head, but looked at Lu Rong stubbornly, her eyes slightly red, as if she would not give up until Lu Rong agreed.

Lu Rong had a cold face and tilted her head to the side. "If you don't want to say it, then forget it. Who are you showing this to?"

A low sob came from her ears, Lu Ling's shoulders trembled slightly, and she covered her face with a handkerchief.

Jin He came over to persuade her, "Miss Zhen, stop crying, so many people are watching us." People came to the outing to find a good marriage, and crying and losing their temper would not sound good if it got out.

Lu Zhen knew what was right and wrong, and gradually stopped crying. She looked at Lu Rong again and said, "Sister Rong, could you please stop competing with me for Mr. Qian?"

Jin He was shocked, and Lu Rong's face turned pale. "Sister, be careful with your words. I have never heard of a young master named Qian."

"Really?" Lu Ling murmured to herself, "But——"

"Jinhe, let's go back." Lu Rong was already tired of listening to her nonsense and stood up to go back.

Lu Ling lowered her head and looked around. Seeing that no one noticed her actions, she returned to the tent. Seeing that her stepmother was still talking to her aunt, she found a corner and sat down.

Zhang didn't miss her daughter's expression. She picked up her teacup and said, "It sounds very lively outside. The two boats will meet soon. Wouldn't you like to go and take a look?"

Qin tactfully stood up and said goodbye, leading her people away.

"What's going on?" Zhang looked at Jin He. Jin He leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

Zhang frowned. No wonder Rong Jie'er was angry. She was afraid of hitting the mouse and damaging the jade bottle, so she couldn't vent her anger. What a clever trick. Well, it was a pity that she had to make plans for herself at such a young age.

"Mother has never mentioned a word about money to you. Why are you so upset? Don't make yourself sick." Zhang pulled her daughter into her arms and comforted her in a gentle voice.

Lu Rong was frustrated. "My daughter was wrongly accused by someone else for no reason, and I'm not allowed to be angry."

"It's okay to be angry for a while, but it's great." Zhang scolded.

Lu Rong snorted lightly, "I am a magnanimous lady and naturally won't bother with her." After that, she walked out with Jin He.

Zhang smiled and shook her head.

The master and servant walked and stopped until they came to a secluded place. Jin He wanted to persuade the young lady to go back. Lu Rong had already sat down on the ground. "Jin He, it's very stuffy in the tent. I'll sit for a while and then go back."

Just after sitting down for a while, I saw a woman with a long face and high cheekbones walking straight towards me with some people.

"Excuse me, are you the daughter of Lord Lu?" The long-faced woman had a bad look on her face and spoke in a harsh tone.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Jin He asked doubtfully.

It seems that he has found the right person. Lu Rong raised his hand and hit her. "Where did you come from, wild girl? The masters are talking, it has nothing to do with you."

Jin He was slapped hard in the face and staggered, almost falling to the ground.

Protecting the person behind her, Lu Rong was furious. "Where did you come from, you bitch? Why did you hit my maid for no reason?"

"Don't worry about who I am. Today I want to show you that there will always be retribution for doing bad things." Lu Rong looked at him coldly.

"I never thought the daughter of a third-rank official would behave like this. No wonder her engagement was broken off and no one has come forward to propose marriage."

Lu Rong gradually calmed down, and after thinking for a moment, she immediately understood, "Are you Luzon's sister?" This was to vent her anger for her brother.

She laughed. "What a blind and evil woman! Don't you know the saying that a blessed man never enters the door of an unblessed man?" As she spoke, she slowly approached, circling and examining her. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, if I'm not mistaken, all your clothes and jewelry are from last year. No wonder they look so old-fashioned and tacky. This magpie-on-a-branch hairpin is gilded, right? I'd rather not even give it to you."

"You--" Lu Rong was hit in the sore spot. He had no money either from his parents' home or his husband's home.
