Chapter Eighty-Six: Finding a Way Out for Yourself
Originally, Lu Xueling didn't have much resentment, but when she sat next to Lu Xueyi, she suddenly hated it even more.
Why can Lu Xueyi sit next to her father, but she can't?
Aunt Xia was sitting next to Lu Xueling, and she could naturally see her daughter who had worked hard to give birth in October, looking at the position where Lu Xueyi was sitting, her eyes were full of envy and grievances.
Don't say that her daughter is wronged, she is also extremely uncomfortable.
She worked hard to kill the main room that was pressing on her head, she originally thought that she was about to get out of the head, but she never thought that the old man would continue to have a string and marry another back, and his family background was not much higher than himself.
Later, when she saw that there was no hope, she went down, and then she saw Lu Xueyi, and then thought about the heirs of the Lu Mansion, and her selfishness gradually rose, and she wanted Xue Ling to be the unique eldest lady of the Lu Mansion, but she didn't expect that in the end, she still failed to kill this blessed little.
What makes her even more powerless is that the master has always been respectful and inferior, and he will never allow anyone to mess with the rules, even if Lu Xueyi's mother has been dead for so many years, even if she newly marries Lu Xueyi, she will never let people bully her daughter for half a point.
"Brother Lu, the contemptible person is a step late, and I hope you don't blame it. When I came here just now, I accidentally wet my clothes, and I looked embarrassed, so I had to go back. ”
Shen Li arrived at the door of the hall under the recommendation of the housekeeper, and when he saw the people in the Lu Mansion who had already sat down, he looked around quietly, and did not see Aunt Qiao, and his eyebrows were almost invisible and slightly wrinkled, and then he was relieved.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm early." Master Lu stepped forward to greet Shen Li, and the two exchanged pleasantries for a while before taking their seats.
Liu Qingqing has been secretly observing Shen Li, seeing that he looks handsome, his behavior is also generous and calm, and his temperament is also extraordinary, so he can't help but wonder.
Such a good-looking man doesn't look like a person who will do things to divorce his wife, could it be that Aunt Qiao was really caught stealing people outside?
Liu Qingqing, who didn't know how to jump out of this idea, seemed to have suddenly grasped some clue, and a big plan was set up in his heart.
"Brother Shen, the small craftsmanship of the cabinet in the house is not deeply penetrating, you can taste it, and make a comment or two." Master Lu said with a smile, waved his hand to signal the maid to serve the food, and personally poured wine for Shen Li.
"Thank you, Brother Lu." Shen Li took the wine glass, clinked glasses with Master Lu first, raised his head and drank it all, and then the two of them laughed and sat down, looking at the exquisite dishes brought by the maids.
Lu Xueyi looked at the friendly friendship between the two of them, and became more and more suspicious and curious.
If Daddy knew that Shen Li and Aunt Qiao were greasy, then his face would have to turn into a palette, right?
Putting the dishes on the table, staggering, Lu Xueyi has been eating the dishes quietly, waiting for Liu Qingqing's action.
After three rounds of drinking, probably when the intention was strong, Liu Qingqing looked at Shen Li and asked casually: "When I passed through the corridor just now, I saw Aunt Qiao and Master Shen greeting each other, I wonder if Master Shen knows Aunt Qiao?" ”
Shen Li's face remained unchanged, and he was just about to answer Liu Qingqing's words, when he heard Master Lu say with a straight face: "When you eat, don't talk about this." Besides, Brother Shen didn't say hello when he saw someone, did he have to pretend not to see it? ”
Although Liu Qingqing was a little scared, she still didn't let go of her mind of finding fault, but turned around and said to Shen Li: "Please don't blame Master Shen, the concubine is just a little curious." ”
Shen Li shook his head: "Mrs. Lu's words are serious, everyone has curiosity. ”
Shen Li still chose to avoid the important and did not answer his relationship with Aunt Qiao, Liu Qingqing was a little disappointed and decided to break the boat. But this is a ruin, and it has to be used properly!

In the lobby of Lufu, the candlelight is swaying, and the fragrance of wine is elegant. Everything seemed to be as calm as ever.
Because women are not allowed to discuss politics, in addition to drinking, the two men, Master Lu and Shen Li, are talking about the past and the present, plus some witty jokes, and they don't mention the important things about the birthday of today's saints.
Lu Xueyi, who was sitting next to Master Lu, was still very satisfied with tonight's dishes, fortunately, her father remembered her, even if there were outsiders, there were some dishes she liked. Just to maintain everyone's demeanor, I still haven't eaten much.
Aunt Su sat next to Lu Xueyi, seeing that her expression was light, she didn't seem to like these dishes very much, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, she put two chopsticks and cold melon shreds into her bowl, and whispered: "Taste it, it tastes good." ”
"Hmm." Aunt Su's cucumber shreds glowed with a thin layer of water, and there were some sesame seeds on them, which looked good. The mouth of the melon shreds is indeed refreshing and appetizing.
Lu Xueyi nodded at Aunt Su, indicating that she liked it very much.
At this time, Lu Xueling was eating while secretly looking at Lu Xueyi.
Seeing that since she woke up, her demeanor has become more and more dignified and decent, and her temperament is gentle and graceful, and the whole person still has a cold taste, and her heart is uncomfortable and jealous.
And Aunt Xia, who is the farthest away from Master Lu and has not been favored for a long time, looked at the charm and ruddy blood between Aunt Su's eyebrows, and a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes.
Once upon a time, she also enjoyed such love and nourishment from men......
If it weren't for Aunt Xia and Aunt Su entering the house later, she would ......
"Huh?" Aunt Xia looked at the full hall of people, and suddenly let out a shock, and the hall where there was a constant conversation instantly fell silent.
"What happened to Aunt Xia, so shocked?" Master Lu put down the wine glass, which was as smooth and delicate as white porcelain, and looked at Aunt Xia who disturbed his interest with a strong face with a little impatience.
This Aunt Xia was really disturbed by her surprise, it was rare for him and Shen Li to get together today to drink and talk.
"Please also ask the master to calm his anger, the concubine looked around just now, and suddenly found that someone had not arrived, so she was a little out of shape, and asked the master and Master Shen not to blame."
Aunt Xia looked at the face pulled down by the master of the house, her heart was pounding, and her face was a little pale.
I really can't blame her, she just couldn't see Aunt Qiao, who has always scratched her head, a little shocked on the occasion of this kind of flower show.
Looking back on previous years, once a guest arrives in the Lu Mansion and needs a female dependent, Aunt Qiao is the most colorful and eye-catching one.
I don't know what evil happened to me this time, but it didn't appear.
Just when Aunt Xia was wondering, Liu Qingqing added: "Aunt Xia's eyes are good. ”
When the words fell, she smiled decently at Master Lu and said, "Under the master's orders, it is naturally impossible for the concubine to miss any points." It's just that Aunt Qiao suddenly felt a little unhappy on the way here, so she went back to Qiao Xiangge, and someone came to ask the concubine to accompany the master for her. ”
Liu Qingqing opened her mouth and skimmed herself before she said that Aunt Qiao was unwell. Her little abacus is very good, and she won't let herself get half a point when she has something.
"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" Master Lu looked at Liu Qingqing with a long face.
Liu Qingqing's gentle smile stiffened slightly, and she quickly recovered, if it weren't for Lu Xueyi sitting opposite her, and her eyes were sharp, she really couldn't see it.
"Master, the concubine told you in the study, you were thinking that Master Shen was coming to ......" Liu Qingqing's words were softer than just now, but Master Lu heard the grievances from this soft tone.
He has been married to Liu Qingqing for so many years, and he is the person who is most familiar with her. In the days when he was most affectionate, he wiped out her little temper.
But did Qingqing really say it? Master Lu still didn't believe it in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he had heard what she said in the study just now, but he didn't listen carefully when he was taking the Tibetan wine.
Hey, sure enough, my memory is not good when I get older!
Just when Master Lu didn't know how to comfort Liu Qingqing for the time being, Shen Li stood up with a wine glass with a very eye-catching face.
He raised his wine glass and said to Liu Qingqing: "I didn't expect Shen Li to almost make his sister-in-law suffer today, he should be punished, he should be punished!" ”
After saying two sentences, he was not ambiguous, raised his head and drank the wine in the white jade porcelain cup, and turned the wine glass upside down to show his true feelings.
Guessing and guessing, Lu Xueyi thought of her previous guess, is this Shen Li related to Aunt Qiao?
But no evidence has been found yet, and I can only endure the itching in my heart.
Seeing that Shen Li had come out first, Master Lu frowned a little displeased. His own woman, Shen Li helped to speak, and when there were no three hundred taels of silver here, he wondered if Liu Qingqing and Shen Li had any unclear relationship.
But instead of stopping him, he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, pretending to be annoyed.
"Brother Shen, what are these words? You and I have been friends for many years, don't take this little misunderstanding to heart today! Your sister-in-law is not the kind of person who is narrow-minded. ”
"Master Shen is serious, it is the concubine who is reckless, I thought that the master knew, but I didn't expect to surprise you and make you misunderstand." Liu Qingqing added a few words in a timely manner, with just the right amount of apology on her face.
For the sake of face, Liu Qingqing will still do it.
The Lu couple both spoke, and Shen Li saw that the two didn't mention Aunt Qiao's affairs, so they followed them.
The three of them talked a few more words, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Throughout the dinner, Lu Xueyi sat there, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, from time to time observing the expressions and micro-movements of Master Lu, Liu Qingqing, and Shen Li.
Master Lu is okay, still smiling, and it seems that he doesn't care much about Aunt Qiao.
Although Liu Qingqing has never seen much of the market, he can be regarded as being able to contain himself and not lose face in the Lu Mansion.
As for Shen Li, for this strange visitor, Lu Xueyi's first impression when he saw him was ill-willed.
She took it over when she was doing mental guidance in her early years.
