I've been bullied and humiliated for thirteen years; when I wake up, I'll be bloodthirsty.

Chapter 92 Illegitimate Daughter

Lu Yangyang was dragged out of bed early this morning and didn't get a proper meal.

She had originally wanted to witness the grand banquet of a noble family, but who knew this would happen? It's almost noon, and apart from the two snacks she had in the garden this morning, she hasn't eaten anything since!

He turned around and urged Sheng Yunjiao to leave quickly: "Can we eat now?"

Sheng Yunjiao stared at her wide-eyed in disbelief: "You still couldn't forget to eat? Just now, weren't you scared? You...you..."

Sheng Yunjiao was so busy gossiping that she completely forgot about being scared. Now, realizing it too late, she couldn't help but shudder.

Imagine someone you just saw that morning, and in just an hour or two, they've become a corpse. Sheng Yunjiao's face suddenly froze. She cautiously grabbed Lu Yangyang's sleeve, her face contorted with fear, "Yangyang, I... I'm a little scared..."

Lu Yangyang asked, puzzled, "What are you afraid of?"

Sheng Yunjiao moved her small feet closer to her, saying, "Just, just..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly remembered that Lu Yangyang had just been holding Feng Qingyao's body. Trembling, she let go, at a loss for what to do: "I, we, I, I'll take you to change your clothes first..."

Lu Yangyang was baffled. Why change clothes? Didn't she just change this morning?

Turning her head again, she saw Sheng Yunjiao's deathly pale face and suddenly realized: "It's broad daylight, are you afraid of ghosts!"

Sheng Yunjiao's face turned even paler.

Lu Yangyang thought to herself, "These rich young ladies are so pretentious!"

However, seeing Sheng Yunjiao's pitiful appearance, she still gave in: "Okay, okay, let's go change our clothes first, and then we'll eat."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yunjiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, she would have kept thinking about how Lu Yangyang had hugged Feng Qingyao while wearing that outfit, and how she felt cowardly.

That's right, it's a problem with the clothes.

So he immediately dragged Lu Yangyang to change her clothes.

Princess Liduan, who had been following behind them, looked around but couldn't see a trace of them. She stomped her foot in anger: "Where are they? How come they disappeared when I just went to wash my hands?"

Her maid, Lin Shuang, caught up with her breathlessly: "Princess, who are you looking for?"

"Hey, don't worry about me," she said, craning her neck and looking anxiously left and right. "Where is he?"

Lin Shuang looked distressed: "Princess, I was only away for a short while, and such a big thing happened to you. I won't be able to explain to His Highness when I get back. My aunt will definitely punish me."

Princess Liduan glared at her and stomped her foot: "Forget it, let's go take our seats first. I don't believe we can't catch her."

Lift your feet and walk.

Lin Shuang asked, puzzled, "Who exactly are you looking for, County Princess?"

"It's that Lu Yangyang, have you seen her?" Princess Liduan asked casually.

"I saw it. Miss Lu and the fourth young lady of the Sheng family seemed to be saying they were going to change their clothes before dinner." Lin Shuang asked, a little puzzled, "Princess, why are you looking for Miss Lu? Don't you dislike her?"

"Who said I'm annoying? I'm not annoying anymore. Let's go, let's hurry up." Princess Liduan hurriedly ran towards the garden where the banquet was being held.

……

When Lu Yangyang went out, Granny Shen had specially prepared spare clothes for her. When the two arrived at the guest courtyard where the banquet was being held, the maid immediately led them to the guest room. Granny Hui, who had accompanied Madam Lan on the trip that day, personally brought over the clothes. Seeing that Lu Yangyang was alright, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss, please go and change your clothes first. I will go and inform Madam. Madam was extremely anxious when she heard about the incident. If I hadn't stopped her, she would have gone there herself."

"Oh, then tell Madam I'm fine." Lu Yangyang was always a little unaccustomed to Madam Lan's concern, but she wouldn't hold it against Madam Lan, who was a patient.

She took her clothes and went into the inner room to change, while Granny Hui hurried back to Madam Lan's place.

Now that the murderer has been caught and Su Fengqu has been cleared of suspicion, Lady Cheng'en, who had originally lost interest in holding a banquet, has regained her spirits and personally came over to express her sincere gratitude to Lady Lan.

Only then did Madam Lan realize what Lu Yangyang had done, and she was surprised, proud, and heartbroken all at the same time.

Her expression was complicated for a moment, but she managed to stay calm. When Granny Hui returned, she saw that the young lady looked somewhat haggard and quickly said to her, "Don't worry, Madam, the young lady is fine. She's alright. She just asked me to come back and tell you. There's no need to worry."

Lan nodded absently.

"Madam?" Seeing that her complexion was not good, Hui Mama asked in a low voice, "Is Madam feeling unwell? Why don't we tell Madam Cheng'en that we should go back first?"

Madam Lan shook her head: "I'm fine, but I just heard that thanks to Yangyang, the murderer was found in the incident involving Miss Feng today. I'm happy that she has such ability, but I can't help but think about how much hardship and difficulty she must have endured to have such ability."

"I find it incredible just thinking about it, but she has come this far over the years."

Lan clutched her chest. "I always thought I knew a lot about her, but it was just the tip of the iceberg. It's nothing compared to what she actually went through. The more I think about it, the more my heart aches."

Granny Hui quickly patted her back gently: "As the saying goes, some things are sweet at first and then bitter, and some are bitter at first and then sweet. Life is never perfect. In my opinion, no matter what, with your current abilities and temperament, you can live a good life no matter who you are. Heaven will never let down those who are capable."

Granny Hui used to feel sorry for Lu Yangyang, but it was also because of Madam Lan that she accompanied Madam Lan for her whole life. Although they were mistress and servant, they were like family. She didn't quite understand Lu Yangyang before, but after seeing her step by step, she truly felt that Lu Yangyang was a really good-natured person, as resilient as a weed, and nothing could defeat her.

Hearing her words, Madam Lan nodded and said softly, "I only wish that my Yangyang can live a smooth and peaceful life from now on, so that I can close my eyes in peace."

Outside the door, Princess Liduan, who had been eavesdropping, frowned and walked a few steps away, still wondering, "Why do I feel that Madam Lan's feelings for Lu Yangyang are quite unusual? Wasn't she just a distant relative who came to freeload? This Lu Yangyang is really interesting."

Lin Shuang was startled and tugged at her sleeve: "Princess, please keep your voice down, you haven't gone far yet!"

“Oh,” Princess Liduan walked a little further away and turned around, “I still find it very strange, there’s definitely something wrong. Do you think… this Lu Yangyang, could she be Madam Lan’s illegitimate daughter?”

Lin Shuang was almost scared to death by her. Forgetting about the hierarchy, she quickly covered her mouth: "Grandma, I beg you, please watch your mouth. If anyone hears this, we might be in trouble with the Duke of Sheng's mansion!"

Is it okay to say that? Is it okay to say that?

That's the Lady of the Duke of Sheng, how dare you say she has an illegitimate daughter!
