Demon branches and jade leaves

Chapter 26
"Yeah, I didn't go."

Jiang Louyue nodded, her expression very flat.

"You just said something so lightly that you didn't go?" Yuan Bao was so anxious that he was about to cry, his chubby face turned into a bun, and said, "Did you know that today at the coming-of-age ceremony, Gu Shizi took the initiative Ask the eldest lady and the eldest young lady, why did you not come, Miss Qi, did you not give him face? Said that he had given Miss Qi a face wound medicine ten days ago, and the eldest lady felt that the Hou Mansion had been embarrassed. Ever since I got back, I've been throwing a tantrum in the front hall!"

Jiang Louyue was not in a hurry, but laughed and muttered, "I'm sick."

"Hey, Miss Qi, you can stop laughing, Fatty, I'm in a panic. I haven't finished speaking yet. When the eldest lady was furious, the young master Chengmo in the second lady's room came out to add fuel to the fire and kill you. After talking for a long time about the Cang Academy’s inscriptions attending the class, the eldest lady is so furious that she is still scolding you in the front hall.”

"She scolds whenever she likes. Anyway, I don't think I heard it. It's her own body that is angry, and it is her own face that is angry."

Jiang Louyue has a strong relationship with Yuanbao, and she has no scruples in front of him at all.

"Miss Seven—" Yuan Bao sighed heavily.

"Okay, okay, I know, I'll be careful, don't worry, Yuanbao, look, I'll be back safe and sound."

Jiang Louyue stretched out a hand, patted Yuanbao's shoulder comfortingly, and smiled brightly at him.

Yuanbao couldn't rest assured, he followed Jiang Louyue step by step, and entered the front hall with her.

As soon as he stepped into the threshold, Jiang Louyue heard Lu Shi's scolding voice.

"It's really shameless, an unmarried girl won't come so late and hang out outside!"

"Ma'am, that's a bad word—"

Jiang Louyue held her head high, her beautiful eyes glowing, and as she walked forward, she met the fiery eyes of Mrs. Lu without fear, and said loudly, "Louyue's appearance is so ugly, dare to ask the entire imperial capital, Which son is still interested in hanging out with me?"

In one sentence, the hysterical Lu Shi was completely blocked.

"Hmph, you still have self-knowledge." Mrs Lu's face stinks.

Jiang Louyue secretly rejoiced that the terrifying scars on her face had become her powerful shield.The surrogate mother is tortured, it is indeed a blessing rather than a curse.

"Jiang Louyue, why don't you go to take care of brother's coming-of-age ceremony?"

Jiang Zixin was aggressive, with a grim expression on his face, and said coldly: "Back at Liusan Pavilion, Brother Gu spent 6000 taels of gold to buy you wound medicine, but you were absent from his coming-of-age ceremony. You really are ungrateful, villain !"

"Sister, what you said is so unconscionable."

Jiang Louyue folded her arms around her chest, tilted her head slightly, with a faint smile on her lips, and said, "Why did I not attend Gu Shizi's coming-of-age ceremony, do you really not know?"

"How do I know!" Jiang Zi rushed back without thinking.

"I don't want to create a chance for you and Gu Shizi, eldest sister. If I really go, Gu Shizi will definitely have a chat with Lou Yue because of the last medicine donation, eldest sister would not want to see that scene, right? ."

Jiang Louyue made an expression that I was thinking of you completely.

Jiang Zi's heart was stunned, and the Lu family was also surprised. Even Jiang Chengmo looked at Jiang Louyue in disbelief, as if he was looking at some monster.

"Are you really so kind?" Jiang Zixin was very suspicious.

The curvature of Jiang Louyue's lips deepened, and her voice carried a bit of joking: "If I don't go, Gu Shizi will definitely hate me, blame me in his heart, think that I am a villain who knows his kindness and does not repay you, and you don't stand out as eldest sister. Are you kind and compassionate?"

The doubtful look on Jiang Zixin's face faded a lot in an instant, and there was even a hint of smugness between his brows.

On the other side, Mrs. Lu heard Jiang Louyue say that, and the anger in her eyes also subsided by half.

"I was thinking in my heart that it would be inconvenient to stay in the Hou's mansion. It's better to simply leave the mansion so that you can't find it, and come back at night."

Jiang Louyue's face was not blushing and her heart was not beating. Hei was stunned to make her talk in vain, and the sky also made her turn into the ground.

Finally, a smile appeared on the faces of Lu's mother and son.

"Forget it, considering that you are so well-intentioned and considerate for the elder sister, the merits and demerits are equal, and you will be exempted from punishment today."

"Thank you, Auntie." Jiang Louyue pretended to bless Lu Shi.

"However, how do you explain the matter of Lucang College's audition?" Jiang Chengmo seemed unwilling to let Jiang Louyue go.

Jiang Louyue looked candid, shrugged and said, "Brother, I have nothing to explain, I just want to see the world."

"Forget it, it's getting late at night, let's go here today." Mr. Lu stretched out a hand, waved it, and said, "Chengmo, if there is a side hearing in the future, just show it to us Zixin, don't It's for the son of a servant or the daughter of a concubine."

When she heard the word "concubine", Jiang Louyue's drooping eyes flashed a trace of hostility, and under her long sleeves, a pair of fists clenched slowly.

However, she was able to take it in and out, her hostility flashed away, and she concealed it well.

"Yes, ma'am."

Jiang Chengmo listened to Lu's words very much, and was quite respectful to her.

His mother, Yun Qingke, has also been working hard to maintain a friendly relationship with the Lu family. On the one hand, it is for the stability of his position as a flat wife, and on the other hand, it is for the future of his son.

"But Auntie, the next hearing from Lu Cang Academy will be half a month away." Jiang Chengmo reported truthfully.

Mrs Lu put one hand on her red lips, yawned, and said, "It's alright, let's talk about it in half a month, we can afford to wait, I heard that Gu Shizi is also in the inscription department of Lu Cang College. , it's a good opportunity. I'm tired, I have to rest, you can retire."

Everyone retreated one after another, and Jiang Louyue also stepped out of the front hall. A storm passed without any danger.

Yuanbao followed behind and sent Jiang Louyue back to Qin Pavilion.

"Miss Qi, you really scared me to death just now. Fatty, my clothes are soaked in cold sweat." Yuanbao sighed.

"It's nothing to be afraid of, isn't I intact?" Jiang Louyue's lips curled into a light smile.

"Hey, by the way, Miss Seven, you really surrender to the eldest lady and the eldest lady, do you give them priority in everything you do? When can you think about yourself?" Yuanbao couldn't help worrying.

"Idiot, I lied to them. How could I surrender to the wicked who wanted to kill my mother and ruin my appearance, just to condescend."

Jiang Louyue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she said solemnly, "I have my own plans."
