Chapter 19 I used to be hungry
Sheng Yunzhu only felt a wet patch on her face. Panic made her unable to tell if it was her blood or something else. She was so frightened that she let go, and the precious jade silk she was holding fell to the ground.
She dared not touch her face, fearing she would be disfigured. In terror, she took two steps back and fell to the ground.
Standing behind her, Zheng Ziqian quickly supported her, exclaiming, "Cousin, are you alright?"
Then, filled with disgust, he looked at Lu Yangyang: "How can you be so ill-mannered? How dare you treat the daughter of the Duke's mansion like this? The Duke's mansion kindly took you in, and you not only show no gratitude, but you even dared to openly lay a hand on your master. Who gave you the audacity? No wonder my grandmother can't tolerate you, you're simply..."
His fair face flushed red with anger as he shouted, "Utterly rude and shameless!"
"This is our Duke's Mansion, and these are our people. Who gives you the right to lecture us? If you want to show off, go back to your own Duke Zheng Mansion! What a waste of your handsome and refined face. Everyone praises your scholarship, but I think you've wasted your time. Going to someone else's house to lecture them, what kind of manners do you have?" Sheng Yunjiao was also red with anger. She usually fawned over Sheng Yunzhu because of Zheng Hui, and didn't get along well with the Sheng siblings. However, she always distinguished between gratitude and resentment. Her cousin Zheng Ziqian, true to his name, was well-read from a young age and exceptionally handsome. No matter how domineering Sheng Yunjiao was, she had never caused him any trouble.
But today really opened her eyes. He clearly doesn't know anything, yet he dares to spout nonsense here! It's simply too much!
"Sheng Si, are you done yet? Why are you protecting that ugly girl? Cousin Yunzhu is your own sister, and you're protecting an outsider like this, someone who came from some remote mountain village to freeload. Don't you find her poor and pathetic appearance disgusting?" Zheng Hui pointed at Sheng Yunjiao and cursed her when she saw that Sheng Yunjiao was actually helping Lu Yangyang to confront her brother.
"You know nothing! If you dare to utter another curse word, do you believe I'll tear your mouth off!" Sheng Yunjiao was also the pampered daughter of the second wife's main wife, and was used to being spoiled by her parents. Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to compete with Sheng Yunzhu. Regardless of whether it was for Lu Yangyang or not, Zheng Hui's words completely blew her away.
Sheng Yunjiao rolled up her sleeves, ready to go up and beat someone up.
Sheng Junye quickly stepped forward and stopped her: "Fourth sister, are you crazy!"
Sheng Junye regretted once again why he had followed along. If a fight broke out, wouldn't he become a laughingstock?
Although he was the youngest among the group, he was very proud!
“Cousin Hui, Cousin Qian, Lu…Lu Yangyang is from our Duke’s Mansion. You…you can’t be so rude to her. You…you have to apologize to her!” Sheng Junye said, forcing himself to speak.
He secretly hoped that after apologizing, Lu Yangyang would stop while she was ahead. Otherwise, if Lu Yangyang went crazy and beat everyone up, he couldn't even imagine what that scene would be like!
"What did you say? Xiao Wu, are you crazy? You want me to apologize to this country bumpkin?" Zheng Hui screamed, making her originally pretty face look even more mean.
“Even if someone really has to apologize, it should be her apologizing to her cousin Yunzhu. She attacked without provocation; she’s the one who should apologize.” Zheng Ziqian was still supporting the unsteady Sheng Yunzhu, his face serious.
"Cousin, Cousin Hui, please don't make Yangyang unhappy because of me..." Sheng Yunzhu said with red eyes, trying to hold back her emotions.
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Yan Yue. She wanted everyone to see how arrogant and domineering Lu Yangyang, this country bumpkin, was.
Lu Yangyang clapped her hands.
His dark face showed no expression, but his eyes clearly revealed impatience.
She came out from behind the desk and walked towards the group.
For some reason, Sheng Junye instinctively let go of Sheng Yunjiao the moment he saw her walking over, took a few steps back, and jumped over the threshold.
Sure enough, the next second, Lu Yangyang's withered, dark hand grabbed Zheng Hui, who was charging forward like a fighting rooster, and threw her out.
Sheng Junye narrowly dodged, letting out a sigh of relief. Thank goodness he dodged quickly and wasn't hit!
"What are you doing..." Zheng Ziqian's eyes widened, but before he could finish speaking, Lu Yangyang grabbed his arm and threw him and Sheng Yunzhu, whom he was supporting, out like sandbags.
With two loud thuds, it crashed heavily to the ground.
It's unclear how Lu Yangyang managed to control the force and distance so precisely, managing to throw all three of them into the same spot, stacking them together like a human pyramid. This was particularly bad for Zheng Hui, who was at the bottom. Just as she was trying to get up, she was slammed down by two more people, and with a cracking sound, it was unclear where the broken part was.
"Ah—" There were screams coming from outside the door, from the three people and the maids and servants waiting outside.
"It's so noisy," Lu Yangyang said impatiently.
Sheng Yunjiao quickly stepped forward and closed the door. Just then, her maid and Yuanxing returned with the meal. Sheng Yunjiao, like a thief, personally carried the food box inside.
Then he hurriedly ran to the door, stuck his head out, and said to Sheng Junye, who was staring blankly at the three people, "Xiao Wu, please tell them that being foul-mouthed is a no-no, they'll get beaten up."
She quickly closed the door, turned around, and was so excited she almost jumped up.
"Yangyang, you really are the most amazing person in the world! I've lived this long and I've never seen that little green tea, Sheng Yunzhu, or that widow Zheng Hui so miserable!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Sheng Yunjiao noticed that Yan Yue was still staring at her blankly, his expression indescribable.
Sheng Yunjiao touched her nose. "Ahem, Young Master Yan, why haven't you left yet? It's almost lunchtime. You're not planning to stay for lunch, are you? That's not appropriate."
"I...I'm waiting...waiting for the prescription," Yan Yue stammered.
It wasn't that he wanted to stutter; it was just that he had never seen such a spectacular scene in his entire life!
Only Lu Yangyang remained completely unaffected, having already opened the food box and taken out all the food.
If you ask what the biggest advantage of the second wife managing the kitchen is, it's that Sheng Yunjiao, the legitimate daughter of the second wife, gets to eat the best food every day, and the most exquisite and varied dishes!
They sent over seven or eight kinds of snacks alone, with only one or two on each small plate. This country bumpkin, Lu Yangyang, had never seen such a delicate snack before, let alone imagined it!
Lu Yangyang wanted to hold back, but she couldn't resist and stuffed the pastry into her mouth.
While stuffing the medicine into her mouth, she didn't forget to read the prescription to Yan Yue.
Yan Yue quickly sat back down and picked up his notebook. "Actually, I can do it later."
Lu Yangyang quickly read out the prescription, explained the differences between the three prescriptions, and at the same time, ate most of the pastries.
Sheng Yunjiao stared in disbelief: "How come you're like a starving ghost reincarnated? Did you never have enough to eat before?"
Seeing how thin she was, Sheng Yunjiao felt a little sorry for her for the first time.
She's never known what it feels like to be hungry.
Lu Yangyang shook her head, restraining herself from stuffing food into her mouth, feeling somewhat embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I didn't really want to do this. I'm just used to being hungry and can't control myself. As long as there's food, I want to eat my fill at once."
