Chapter 107 The True Master
Princess Li Duan withdrew her gaze.
Lu Yangyang followed the direction she had just been looking and glanced curiously as well, but saw nothing.
My older brother's fiancée...
Lu Yangyang thought about it seriously and vaguely remembered that in the dream, the wedding date was at the end of this year, but because Miss Xue's grandmother passed away, the wedding date was postponed for another year.
As a result, before the year was up, the eldest brother died on the battlefield.
Miss Xue naturally didn't marry into the family. Lu Yangyang never saw Miss Xue in her dreams. It seems that she later heard that Miss Xue married her cousin and was doing quite well.
Now, due to Lu Yangyang's changes, the original trajectory has been affected. The Lan family called their eldest brother back under the pretext of bringing good luck and held the wedding ahead of schedule.
If Miss Xue was doing well before marrying into the Duke of Sheng's mansion, would it be good or bad if she did marry in and her elder brother's future remained unchanged?
The last time, because Lan was drugged and became seriously ill, Lu Yangyang had thought about the changes that would result from her own changes. This was the second time.
Lu Yangyang was momentarily confused and couldn't help but ask Princess Liduan, "Do you know that Miss Xue?"
“I’ve seen her a few times, but I’m not very familiar with her.” Princess Liduan shook her head. “She used to go out often, but I haven’t seen her much in the past year, at least not for more than half a year.”
Princess Liduan suddenly began to feel annoyed: "Oh, why don't I look a few years older!"
Lu Yangyang said coldly, "Even if you're a few years older, you won't have a chance. My older brother got engaged a long time ago."
“That’s true, I’m just a little envious.” Princess Liduan held up her finger and gestured a little.
Then he grabbed Lu Yangyang and hurried away, saying, "Let's go, let's go, we're starving."
This was the first time Lu Yangyang had ever seen someone even more eager to eat than she was, so she quickly followed.
……
Huguo Temple has courtyards and side rooms specifically for guests to stay in. Due to the unexpected incident on the way, after entering Huguo Temple, Lan first lit an incense stick before being accompanied by Sheng Junyao to settle into the side room.
Meanwhile, Lu Yangyang had already changed her clothes and gone to eat vegetarian food with Princess Liduan.
Sheng Junyi also escorted Sheng Yunzhu to a side room and sent someone to invite a monk from the temple who knew medicine to come over.
The monk took Sheng Yunzhu's pulse, prescribed some calming medicine, and left some ointment to reduce swelling and relieve pain before leaving.
After seeing the person off, Sheng Junyi turned around and saw Sheng Yunzhu still sitting in the chair, shedding tears.
He was a little helpless. He walked over and sat down beside her, carefully applying the medicine to her. He comforted her, saying, "Zhuzhu, you know in your heart that Father has always valued you and would never let you leave the Duke's Mansion. You will always be a daughter of the Duke's Mansion. You don't need to compare yourself to Yangyang, and you don't need to care about your elder brother's attitude. Your elder brother has always been like this, you know that. Promise me you won't take it to heart, okay?"
Sheng Yunzhu grasped Sheng Junyi's hand, softly hummed in agreement, and said aggrievedly, "I just... I just hope she won't hate me so much, but no matter what I do, it seems to be wrong. My eldest brother and mother also dislike me less and less. I really don't know what to do. Second brother, will you feel the same way? Will you be like them too? Will there come a day when you don't like me anymore?"
"Why did it turn out like this? We were a perfectly good family, why did everything change overnight..."
Sheng Junyi gently wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, unsure how to answer the question for a moment.
His elder brother went to the border, and he has been working for his father ever since. So he knows that it is not easy to maintain the current status of the Duke of Sheng's mansion. He is not as naive and straightforward as his elder brother, and he cannot bear to watch his father's hard work be destroyed.
Some things, even if you don't know the reason at first, can be understood if you think about them carefully.
The father loved Yunzhu and insisted on keeping her because she was useful.
Lu Yangyang, however, was nothing but a useless person.
That was what he originally thought too, so he wanted to send Lu Yangyang away without any burden. But looking at Lu Yangyang's appearance and listening to her experiences, the unimaginable suffering she endured, he couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake.
He couldn't help but care about her, but he also knew that if Lu Yangyang continued to be so high-profile, and if one day she infringed on the interests of the Duke of Sheng's mansion, he would probably still choose to abandon her, just like his father.
For the first time, he was somewhat hesitant.
Even though he knew in his heart that he shouldn't feel sorry for Lu Yangyang, he still couldn't help but pay attention to her.
He didn't know how to comfort Sheng Yunzhu.
"Zhuzhu, if you really can't get along with her, then give up. Your future is ahead, don't get hung up on things right now, do you understand?" Sheng Junyi was worried that she would get stuck in a rut, so she still gave her a few words of advice.
Sheng Yunzhu nodded with teary eyes: "I understand, thank you, Second Brother."
"Get some rest. I'll have someone bring you lunch. This afternoon, accompany your grandmother to listen to the master's lecture. Now that you're out, relax and don't think too much." Sheng Junyi stood up and gently patted her shoulder.
Seeing that she agreed, he turned and left.
After he closed the door, Sheng Yunzhu's face finally changed.
She swept all the bottles and jars on the table onto the floor.
Why should she tolerate this?
Why?
She went through so much hardship to get to where she is today, why should she give up!
Big brother? Hmph, does Lu Yangyang really think that having Sheng Junyao as her backer means she can truly gain a foothold in the Sheng State Duke's mansion? Sheng Junyao is about to die, and even if something were to happen, she wouldn't let it. She would make sure Sheng Junyao never returns. Lu Yangyang wants to take away everything she's painstakingly built up in the Sheng State Duke's mansion? She's dreaming!
What real feelings are there in this world? What family love and romantic love? They're all fake.
Only interests are eternal; that's why she won't lose, she definitely won't lose.
Those idiots will definitely lose.
"Miss," Sheng Yunzhu's maid, Dianmo, knocked on the door from the outside.
"Come in," Sheng Yunzhu said, her fierce expression vanishing as she gently closed her eyes.
Dianmo walked over, saw the mess on the ground, and hurriedly squatted down to clean it up, saying carefully, "Miss, please don't hurt yourself."
"How's it going with finding someone to bring Xue Wanning to Huguo Temple?" Sheng Yunzhu asked expressionlessly.
“Miss Xue has arrived,” Dianmo replied.
"Very well, then let my dear mother and dear elder brother watch a good show." Sheng Yunzhu sneered.
Dianmo tidied up the broken pieces on the ground: "Is the young lady hungry? This servant will go and bring her lunch."
"Go and call Yuanxing, that traitor, over here. She's probably forgotten who her real master is."
