Chapter 421 Insincere Apology
The listless Lu Shian suddenly perked up. She rolled up her sleeves and said, "What do you mean? You smashed my carriage, and that's not enough. You're going to come after my family and beat me up?"
When the carriage was smashed that day, the three of them, mother and daughter, did not suffer any substantial injuries, but Lu Shian was really angry.
She wanted to go back to the Duchess's wife and ask her in person whether others had to give up something that their Duke's Mansion liked.
In the end, it was Yu Xiuying and Lu Xianchun who pulled her back.
Yu Xiuying: "Okay, no matter how powerful the Duke's Mansion is, it is still a minister. You are marrying the prince, and the prince will be the emperor in the future. You can punish her however you want. The most important thing right now is your marriage. Nothing is more important than this."
Lu Xianchun also said, "We have a feud, and there will always be a day to settle accounts. They were in the wrong today, and we don't have to go back to find them. Just like mother said, the most important thing now is our marriage."
Although Lu Shian didn't want to let it go, he had to.
The reason was simple. The fact that this group of people came so quickly showed that they were well prepared. Maybe there were thugs around the mother and daughter, waiting for them to fall into the trap. If she really went over now, the three of them alone would not be able to gain any advantage.
Although Lu Shian didn't say it, he kept it in his heart.
She was thinking in her mind whether she should also hire some thugs...
"Shian, did you hear me?"
Seeing that Lu Shian ignored her, Yu Xiuying called out again.
Lu Shian came back to his senses: "Ah?"
"She is your grandmother's family after all, you should go meet her, you should give your grandmother some face!"
We must give face to the wife of Marquis Yongkang!
She and her elder sister will get married soon, leaving Yu Xiuying alone in the Yongkang Marquis's Mansion. She hopes that the wife of the Yongkang Marquis will not make things difficult for Yu Xiuying when the time comes!
Lu Shian changed his clothes, and the afternoon passed by in a blink of an eye!
"grandmother!"
There wasn't much respect in Lu Shian's calling of "Grandma", and the wife of Marquis Yongkang didn't argue!
He just smiled and said, "Shian, come and meet your aunt!"
Lu Shian didn't even bow and greet: "Hello, aunt!"
The Duke's wife smiled and nodded!
She doesn't look like she's here to call for punishment, so what are they here for?
No matter what, just wait and see!
Madam Yongkang continued, "Even though she is about the same age as you, you should call her aunt!"
Lu Shian couldn't really say anything, so he could only turn his head and look away!
Liu Rulan sneered and mocked: "I told you, you are uneducated! You can't even greet your elders!"
The Duke's wife scolded in a low voice: "Rulan, don't be rude!"
Lu Shian glanced at her and said, "Elder? What kind of elder are you? What do you do that an elder would do?"
Even though Liu Rulan was unwilling in her heart, she could only hold back and keep silent!
The Duke's wife seemed to have not heard Lu Shi'an's questioning. She smiled kindly and said to the wife of Yongkang Marquis, "I told Rulan when I went back yesterday that I would be relieved if you could be like Shi'an!"
The wife of Marquis Yongkang had never seen the wife of the Duke before. Because of her sister-in-law's status, the wife of the Duke always criticized and looked down on the wife of Marquis Yongkang. How could she speak to her politely like she did today!
She was a little uncomfortable with this kind of Duke's wife, but she still responded: "Sister-in-law, you are joking. Rulan is the one that Shi'an should learn from!"
Liu Rulan raised her chin: "Aunt, this is really putting her in a difficult position! She can..."
The Duke's wife was afraid that her daughter would say something she shouldn't, so she quickly interrupted her!
"Rulan, quickly take out the things you prepared to make up Shi'an!"
Liu Rulan turned around, took it from the maid, and rudely stuffed it into Lu Shian's hand!
"Do you remember what you said yesterday?"
"I've said so much, but I don't know which one you're referring to!"
Liu Rulan whispered, "You and your sister are destined to be concubines. Don't think that you will soar to the top just by marrying the prince. You might end up in the cold palace right after you get married!"
Lu Shian was not afraid at all, she was good at saying harsh words!
After Liu Rulan finished speaking, she wanted to leave, but Lu Shian grabbed her wrist and forcibly brought her back!
She leaned close to Liu Rulan's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "That's better than you! It's just that I can't cancel the engagement because of my face, otherwise you wouldn't have the chance to marry with me this year."
"Lu Shian, I'm going to kill you!"
She raised her hand to hit him, but Lu Shian pushed her away. Liu Rulan staggered and fell onto the chair!
The Duke's wife hurried to see her daughter: "Rulan, Rulan, what's wrong with you?"
"Look, this is your good granddaughter. She dared to fight with my daughter in front of me, and I don't know how she bullied Rulan behind my back!"
The wife of Marquis Yongkang also glared at Lu Shian unhappily!
"How can you treat her like this? She is your elder! Apologize to your aunt now!"
Lu Shian bowed perfunctorily: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have used my hands to block you, I should have used my face to catch your slap!"
"Lu Shian, how can you say that?"
The wife of the Marquis of Yongkang scolded, but she did not dare to really punish Lu Shian. First, Lu Shian and her daughter were indeed powerful, and second, she was already the prince's person, and she might have to kneel down and kowtow to her when she saw her in the future!
Even the Marquis' Mansion will have to rely on her in the future!
"I'm really sorry. I got scared on the street a few days ago, so I'm a little nervous! Please forgive me!"
When they talked about the street, the Duke's wife's anger was instantly extinguished!
"Since you were frightened, that's understandable!"
Liu Rulan was about to get angry, but was suppressed by the Duke's wife!
She knew that Lu Shian did it on purpose, so she just said it straight out!
"Two days ago, I went to Jinlou to choose a headdress for Rulan, but she unexpectedly fell in love with Shi'an's headdress. We even had a quarrel over it. Although Rulan chose someone else in the end, we came here today to help Shi'an with his makeup and to talk this matter out. We are all relatives, and I believe Shi'an will not blame my aunt!"
"So, Auntie is here today to make amends?"
The Duke's wife was so angry that she said, "Yes, I am here to apologize to you today."
Lu Shian looked at the Duke's wife from left to right and saw that she was frowning. "Why? I have come to apologize to you in person, and you still can't let this matter go?"
"I heard that my aunt loves Rulan very much. I want to know how much."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, do you know what she has done?"
The Duke's wife's heart skipped a beat. She asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Lu Shian didn't say anything, but stared at the Duke's wife's face, trying to interpret the answer in her own way.
After a long while, Lu Shian raised his eyebrows: "So that's how it is..."
The Duke's wife seemed to have been seen through, and said impatiently: "You are just being mysterious."
