In my past life, I was buried alive! Reborn, I'll overturn the capital.

Chapter 104 Breaking the Face

Aunt Zhao clearly knew what Madam Lu wanted to hear, but she still chose not to understand, poking at the wounds wherever they were.

Madam Lu was surprised that Aunt Zhao was still pretending to be stupid, but she couldn't say it directly, which made her feel very frustrated.

Seeing the fascinating expressions on Madam Lu's face, Aunt Zhao's lips curled into a smile, then she suddenly became terrified. "Madam, please spare me! I'm new here and really didn't know! Please, Madam, spare me!"

Madam Lu was already angry with Aunt Zhao, and when Aunt Zhao suddenly pulled this stunt, Madam Lu was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening.

Aunt Zhao did this on purpose!

She stepped forward to help Aunt Zhao up, lest others see it and spread rumors that she had mistreated Aunt Zhao.

However, just as she stepped forward to help Aunt Zhao up before explaining, Aunt Zhao suddenly fell backward, and Madam Lu's outstretched hand missed.

So when Jiang An came in, it appeared that it was Madam Lu who pushed Aunt Zhao, causing her to fall.

"Prime Minister? No, I didn't push her, she..."

"You didn't push her, did she fall on her own?" Jiang An had always thought that Madam Lu was quite sensible, after all, she had always taken care of things for him.

But who would have thought that, when no one was watching, she would be tormenting Aunt Zhao like this?

Jiang An stepped forward and carefully helped Aunt Zhao up.

Aunt Zhao was weak and dependent on Jiang An in every way, never going against him, which greatly satisfied Jiang An's pride.

He saw in her the shadow of the former Lady Lu.

But what about Lady Lu? Once she became the Prime Minister's wife, she lost her former charming and clingy nature, and sometimes even pretended to comply with him while disobeying him.

Moreover, she was infertile, and the Jiang Chuchu she had painstakingly raised had turned into such a petty and narrow-minded person. Jiang An had long harbored many grievances against Madam Lu.

It's just that he hadn't found an opportunity until now. Now that Lu has made a mistake, it has given Jiang An a perfect excuse to lash out.

Madam Lu was at a loss for words. She wanted to say that Aunt Zhao had fallen on her own, but she knew that Jiang An wouldn't believe her.

She had once personally taught Jiang Chuchu how to use such tactics to deal with Jiang Qingyue, causing Jiang Qingyue and Jiang An to completely drift apart.

But little did she know that one day, someone else would use the same trick on her, truly a form of retribution!

"Prime Minister, please don't blame the Madam. It was my own fault for not standing properly. Moreover, I should accept the Madam's admonition."

Aunt Zhao's move of retreating in the name of advancing only made Jiang An feel more pity for her.

"You're too easy to bully. What kind of reprimand is this? It's probably just a way to make things difficult for you."

"No, there was no trouble. I misspoke. Madam said she wanted to teach me properly who is the proper young lady in the entire Prime Minister's residence. I said that Miss Qingyue is the legitimate young lady of the Prime Minister's residence, and Madam flew into a rage. Prime Minister, did I say something wrong?"

Aunt Zhao's eye drops made Jiang An's face instantly turn ugly.

This Mr. Lu is utterly foolish.

"Prime Minister, I..." Madam Lu tried to explain, but Jiang An didn't give her a chance and directly reprimanded her.

"Lu Yue, don't forget, everything you have was given to you by me. If there's a next time, I don't think you can keep your position as the Prime Minister's wife!"

After saying that, Jiang An took Aunt Zhao and left.

Before leaving, Aunt Zhao made a provocative face at Madam Lu, which made Madam Lu so angry that she almost vomited blood.

When Jiang Qingyue found out, she just chuckled.

Lu family, this is just the beginning. Don't let it collapse too quickly!

In order to further disrupt Lu's order, Jiang Qingyue decided to add fuel to the fire.

She went to Lu's courtyard on her own initiative. Thinking of her mother's death, she wished she could kill Lu immediately.

But this is really letting her off easy.

Upon seeing Jiang Qingyue arrive, Madam Lu assumed she was there to gloat over her misfortune. "Well, Jiang Qingyue, are you satisfied now?"

Originally, I thought that I and Jiang Chuchu had completely trampled Jiang Qingyue under our feet. However, now that Chuchu has been relegated to the position of Fengyi, her reputation is not good, and she is about to face a mess in the inner quarters. Jiang Qingyue must be gloating.

"No, no, no, I'm not satisfied." Jiang Qingyue glanced at her indifferently, her eyes as if she were looking at a dead person.

She leaned closer and whispered, "Lu Yue, this is nothing compared to the pain you inflicted on me, and nothing compared to the harm you caused my mother."

Although Jiang Qingyue's voice was soft, the coldness and murderous intent in her tone made Lu Shi have no doubt that if there were a knife in front of her, Jiang Qingyue would definitely plunge it into her chest without hesitation.

She was so intimidated by Jiang Qingyue's imposing aura that she took a few steps back. "You...you...what do you mean?"

Jiang Qingyue's reaction... could it be that she knows something?

No, that's impossible. No one can tell her anymore, so there's absolutely no way she could know!

Jiang Qingyue must have deliberately lied to me, that's for sure.

Madam Lu steadied herself. "Hmph, if anyone's to blame, it's your mother for not being able to win over the Prime Minister. You can't blame me for that!"

"Yes, it's no one's fault but yours. So, if you can't win over Jiang An, you can't blame anyone else!" Jiang Qingyue's words sounded like a joke, but they were actually full of sarcasm.

"You...you don't worry, that day will never come..." Madam Lu thought of Aunt Zhao, as if a sore spot had been hit, and her words were tinged with resentment.

"Whether that day will come or not, you'll soon find out. Lu Yue, you think what you've done is flawless, but if you don't want anyone to know, you won't do it in the first place. What you did to my mother, I will repay you for every single thing, and I will make you wish you were dead!"

Jiang Qingyue decided to stop pretending in front of Madam Lu and directly abandoned all pretense.

"You?" Madam Lu looked down on Jiang Qingyue. So what if she lost to Jiang Qingyue once? She was just a little girl and could never be her match. She had only underestimated her and not taken her seriously, which was why she fell into the trap.

"Of course not!" Jiang Qingyue had been waiting for this opportunity. She continued in a low voice, "Lu Yue, what do you think of this Aunt Zhao?"

Madam Lu's pounding heart quickly calmed down. "You want to use Aunt Zhao against me? Is this your method?"

She thought Jiang Qingyue would have many more ideas, but it turned out to be nothing special.

"Yes!" Jiang Qingyue was curious to know whether Madam Lu would still be able to remain so calm when she learned the reason for Aunt Zhao's appearance.

Thinking it over, Jiang Qingyue said, "So, I deliberately gave up the opportunity to ask His Majesty for a marriage for my father! After all, you, Madam, cannot have children. As the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family, I should also consider the future of the Prime Minister's family, shouldn't I?"

As Jiang Qingyue continued speaking, Madam Lu's expression grew increasingly resolute. When she finally heard that Jiang Qingyue was behind it all, Madam Lu could no longer hold back and wished she could kill Jiang Qingyue on the spot.

"Jiang Qingyue, you deserve to die!"
