Chapter 289 Chapter 289: For whom?

Xiao Xiao looked at Lu Mingzhu who was kneeling sneeringly, followed Liu Anyao's words and said excitedly: "It would be great if sister-in-law could take me to play, I heard that the Hundred Gardens in the capital will hold a feast every once in a while." , the invitations are all famous nobles, can my sister-in-law take me to see them?"

As long as she can participate in this kind of banquet among the nobles a few more times, she can make friends with those noble girls. The most important thing is that she attends more occasions and is familiar with people. It was love at first sight, and then she would be able to fly up the branches.

Liu Anyao is too familiar with the desire for power and wealth in Xiao Xiao's eyes. For this kind of person, give her a little sweetness, and she will seem to be obedient to you.

"Of course, in this capital, you can go anywhere you want except that you cannot be taken into the palace."

Liu Anyao said proudly.

Xiao Xiao immediately showed even more admiration towards Liu Anyao.

This is the identity she really wants.

No matter where she goes, others have to give her three points, and there is nothing she can't do.

Lu Mingzhu heard the two chatting happily, but felt a burst of anger rushing straight to her forehead.

Liu Anyao, this bitch...

She gritted her teeth resentfully, and suddenly fell down: "Oh..."

The teacup in her hand fell to Liu Anyao's feet, and the tea inside splashed onto her skirt.

Liu Anyao jumped up instantly, looking at the wet skirt with a livid face: "Lu Mingzhu, did you do it on purpose?"

Lu Mingzhu took a weak look at Liu Anyao, then got up, grabbed Xiao Muheng's sleeve with a look of fear, raised her delicate face slightly, and said softly: "Mr. Tea, my kneeling knee hurts, and my hands are sore, so I accidentally fell down."

The implication is that if Liu Anyao hadn't made things difficult for her on purpose, she wouldn't have fallen and spilled her.

Looking at Lu Mingzhu's delicate and feigned look, Liu Anyao rushed to her forehead with anger, wishing to go up and tear her mouth.

"Aunt Lu, who are you showing off as a vixen? You still have the face to sue after spilling tea all over your wife's body." Xiao Xiao still has to rely on Liu Anyao to lead her to gain a firm foothold among the noble girls in the capital. He would immediately jump out and point at Lu Mingzhu and scold him.

Lu Mingzhu was scolded by Xiao Xiao so that her face turned blue and white, and she looked like she was about to cry, which was very pitiful.

Xiao Muheng's heart moved, and he had to say that Lu Mingzhu's appearance was indeed very attractive to him, and Liu Anyao's appearance was not bad, but when standing with Lu Mingzhu, he suddenly lost some color.

But now is not the time to be obsessed with beauty, and it is even more impossible to prevent Liu Anyao from stepping down because of Lu Mingzhu.

Xiao Muheng pulled away Lu Mingzhu's hand holding his sleeve, walked to Liu Anyao, looked at her tenderly, and said, "You don't need to drink this tea, I'll go back with you and change your clothes."

"Okay." Liu Anyao immediately smiled happily, unable to hide the smugness in her eyes.

Xiao Muheng turned to Master Xiao and Mrs. Xiao and said, "Father, Mother, I'll take Yao'er back first."

The two nodded in a hurry: "Well, let's go."

Xiao Xiao: "Sister-in-law, I'll find you later." She was still thinking about the gift that sister-in-law had prepared for her.

Although with the financial resources of the Xiao family, Xiao Xiao has seen good things since he was a child, but the ones given by his sister-in-law represent a different identity.

Liu Anyao smiled and nodded.

Xiao Muheng took Liu Anyao away. Before leaving, Liu Anyao turned her head and cast a provocative and contemptuous look at Lu Mingzhu.

That seemed to despise Lu Mingzhu's overreaching.

And Lu Mingzhu was stunned when Xiao Muheng walked towards Liu Anyao. She couldn't believe that the man she had always relied on chose Liu Anyao when she was most helpless.

Lu Mingzhu bit her lip tightly, and couldn't help feeling a little flustered in her heart. If she didn't have Xiao Muheng's favor, then what pride would she have in this family.

Can't!

Mrs. Xiao didn't bother about Lu Mingzhu, and took Xiao Xiao away. The mother and daughter discussed it for a while and went to the main courtyard to look for Liu Anyao after breakfast.

Master Xiao touched his nose and left.

Lu Mingzhu was the only one left in the huge main hall, as if she had been thrown into an ice cellar, a chill lingered in her limbs and bones.

Thrush entered the room and looked at Lu Mingzhu anxiously.

"Auntie, let's go back."

She was waiting outside the house, and she could hear everything that happened inside clearly, and she felt a burst of panic in her heart.

Madam had a rift with Auntie, but now that they are under the same roof, she still doesn't know how to deal with Auntie.

In order to be a regular wife, the madam doesn't need any means at all, the rules alone can torture my aunt to death

I used to think that the young master was my aunt's greatest support, but now it seems that it may not be so.

Humei absent-mindedly accompanied Lu Mingzhu back home.

In the main courtyard, Xiao Muheng sent Liu Anyao back to the house and went out. He was also very busy these days, preparing for the autumn bed and taking care of business at the same time. Although he had Liu Xiang as a strong backer, Xiao Muheng thought that Talented, he can also win the first place in Qiu Wei, and then it will be easier to climb up by taking advantage of Liu Xiang's momentum, and he will be more convincing if he does well in the exam.

Some time ago, he suffered a lot of shocks at several shops in the capital. He vaguely felt that someone was deliberately fighting against him, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find out who it was. If he was suppressed like this again, he would suffer heavy losses. .

Power and wealth, both are indispensable.

With money, he can manage the officialdom.

Liu Anyao's maid Shuhua changed her clothes, and proudly said: "Then Lu Mingzhu still wants to fight with you, Madam, it's simply beyond her control."

"I originally thought that she would be severely punished by my aunt, so I planned to let her go like this, but she seduced Xiao Muheng ignorantly, how could I allow her to dance around under my nose?" Liu Anyao said with gloomy eyes.

She just hates Lu Mingzhu. She didn't even bother to deal with her unless this person appeared in front of her eyes.

But if she insists on appearing in front of her and grabbing a man from her, don't blame her for not being able to tolerate it.

Who can tolerate himself robbing another woman for her husband, the existence of Lu Mingzhu is slapping her in the face.

"Madam, have you figured out how to get rid of her?" Shuhua asked.

Liu Anyao casually straightened her cuffs, and said: "It can be seen that Xiao Muheng's enthusiasm for her has not passed. I just got married, and Lu Mingzhu's death will easily arouse suspicion from others. Let her be ignored. For now, The person I most want to get rid of is Lu Xiang."

Even if she doesn't do anything to Lu Mingzhu, there are ways to make her suffer.

Besides, Xiao Muheng doesn't have much love for her, it's more because of his identity. Now that she is married, Liu Anyao still wants to live a good life and be favored by her husband, so she has to restrain herself temporarily in Xiao's residence.
