Chapter 130: Punishing Lu Miao
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Grandma Gu placed the incense in the censer and picked up a bamboo stick from the corner of the table, flicking the wick of the oil lamp in front of her.
“Now, let’s add some lamp oil to these longevity lamps for Ah Yan. It can be considered as seeking blessings from our ancestors for him.” With that reasoning, Lu Miao couldn’t refuse.
She reached for the nearby oil bottle and examined it.
There were a total of seven rows of Longevity Lamps on the table in front of her. There were seven lamps in each row, making a total of 49 lamps.
The lamps were small in size, and with the flames on top, it was easy to accidentally extinguish them while adding oil.
To fill them completely, she had to be extremely careful, aiming and pouring precisely.
Was the old lady testing her patience?
However, what might be troublesome for ordinary people was not a problem for her at all.
Beside her, Gu Xingyu sneered, waiting to see Lu Miao make a mistake.
As long as she dared to extinguish a single lamp, she would definitely not let her off.
Lu Miao turned to look at her and said unhurriedly,” I’m adding oil to the lamp to pray for your second brother. As a member of the Gu family, shouldn’t you kneel down in front of your ancestor to show your sincerity?
Gu Xingyu was so angry that she almost bit her tongue.’What do you mean, Lu Miao? Grandma asked you to add lamp oil, and you want me to kneel down?
Are you expressing dissatisfaction and protest against Grandma?”
“She’s not entirely wrong. Kneel down,” Grandma Gu said meaningfully. If Gu Xingyu refused at this point, it would make them seem unreasonable.
Gu Xingyu could only glare at Lu Miao, clenching her teeth and kneeling before the table unwillingly.
Lu Miao took a step forward and held the oil bottle firmly in her hand. She elegantly filled the lamps one by one.
She was unhurried and looked rather relaxed.
It was as if she was watering the flowers and plants in a small garden.
Moreover, not a single drop leaked out.
However, Gu Xingyu’s knees were hurting from kneeling, and Lu Miao had not finished filling them. nmsnea tilling tnem.
Looking at her slow movements, Gu Xingyu was so angry that she wanted to jump up and hit her. This woman was clearly torturing her on purpose.
Half an hour later, Lu Miao finally filled up all the oil in the lamp and put the oil pot back on the table.
She turned to look at Grandma Gu.” Is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”
Shen Muhan was still waiting for her to go for a check-up and decide on the treatment.
Grandma G picked up the tea bowl on the table and used the lid to flip it a few times. Then, she blew away the tea leaves at the mouth of the cup and took a sip.
She then went straight to the point and said,” I heard that you moved out with
Ah Yan, Jinxi, and Ziheng.”
Back then, Gu Shiyun’s situation was dangerous, and they were ambushed by the Lu family, who used Lu Miao to replace Lu Siyu and enter the Gu family. She truly resented the Lu family’s actions.
If they were truly afraid and unwilling to proceed with the engagement, they could have simply said so. The Gu family would not force them and could find another willing family.
The Lu family’s act of switching people in the middle of the situation was equivalent to giving the Gu family a big slap in the face in front.
Because of this, she disliked everyone in the Lu family.
However, due to Gu Shiyan’s condition, she could not say anything at that time.
When she met Lu Miao later, although she did not like her, she did not hate her.
However, she had only gone out for two months, and the family had fallen into chaos because of Lu Miao.
Gu Shiyan, Gu Ziheng and the others not only sided with Lu Miao in everything but also moved out with her. What’s the difference between that and directly splitting the family?
Lu Miao’s rural background was something she could overlook.
But disrupting the peace of the family and causing a separation was something she couldn’t accept.
Moreover, it had only been a few days. Has Lu Miao already had such a significant influence on Gu Shiyan and the others?
If whatever she says goes now, what about in the future?
Lu Miao was helpless. She was truly innocent in this matter. She only wanted to leave the Gu family and be independent, which would also facilitate the things she needed to do. But who would have thought that one by one, they would insist on following her?
However, in the eyes of Grandma Gu at this moment, she was probably seen as the instigator who influenced her grandsons to leave home and break up their family.
Even if she explained, she probably wouldn’t be believed.
She could only say, “I did move out on my own. As for your grandsons, I believe you, as their grandmother, understand them better than I do. If they didn’t want it themselves, no one should be able to force them to leave the Gu family.” Grandma Gu raised her eyelids and glanced at her. “You sure know how to talk.”
Articulate and confident, not showing any fear or submission, just a moment ago she took advantage of the situation and made Gu Xingyu kneel in front of her, as if she was an ignorant countryside girl who knew nothing?
Gu Xingyu immediately gritted her teeth and said, “Grandmother, please don’t be deceived by her sweet words. Lu Miao has always been skilled at buying people’s hearts. She deceived our second brother and took the house from Lingyue Manor and gave Jinxi and Ziheng a worthless bracelet. But those two idiots treat it as a treasure. I wouldn’t be surprised if she fed something like a love potion to our second brother and the others..”
