At this moment, Pei Wanyue’s mind was extremely clear!
That bewitched look of hers scared people. Her eyes seemed to light up with a fierce light. Her expression was persistent and ferocious. The maidservant beside her was a little scared.
During this period of time, Lady Yue had always been very gentle…. She did not expect that she would reveal such a terrifying expression!
Pei Wanyue turned around and glared at the maidservant.
Although she was here as a concubine, Wen Lancheng did not restrain her from going out. The next morning, she went to look for Ms. Lu.
Ms. Lu had already agreed to the matchmaker. Since she was not young anymore, she did not plan to hold a wedding ceremony. After they settled the formalities, she went straight to the man’s house.
Now, she could be considered to have a son and daughter.
Although their family background could not be compared to the Xie family’s, the family was rather simple.
Ms. Lu no longer had the habit of wasting money like she did when she was with the Xie family. On the contrary, she got along well with this family.
Now that Pei Wanyue had arrived, her face turned grim. “Didn’t I tell you that if you become a concubine, you’re no longer my daughter? What are you doing here? Don’t come here in the future. It’s terrible if people see you.”
Those who did not know would think that she sold her daughter!
Moreover, now that she knew what kind of person her daughter was, she could not live in peace! Earlier, she had ruined her good life in the Xie family. What if she wanted to ruin her peaceful life now?!
Pei Wanyue felt terrible inside as well. She was not willing to become a concubine…
Could her mother not take her feelings into consideration?! She was already feeling wronged, yet she was still scolding her. Did she still care about her?!
“Mother, Xie Qiao is now the Princess Consort. Did you know about this?” Pei Wanyue went straight to the point.
Ms. Lu was stunned for a moment. Her hand that was holding the needle and thread stiffened. Then, she lowered her head and said, “This is the ability of the Xie family. We don’t have the fortune to bask in their glory.”
Pei Wanyue was a little upset as she looked at her mother who had no intention of pursuing her.
“What fortune does she have? She’s just a short-lived woman. Mother, I remember you saying that when Xie Niushan was drunk, didn’t he mention that Xie Qiao’s life was tough? If her mother hadn’t died when she was born, she wouldn’t have had to travel so far? Did you say that?” Pei Wanyue asked.
“Yes, I did say that. So what? Now that she’s the Princess Consort, don’t even think about it. You can’t afford to do that! I’m not capable as a mother, to have raised such a thing like you!” Ms. Lu rolled her eyes at Pei Wanyue.
She had done everything for the good of this child in the past!
She thought about how she had been mistreated for so many years, and she had made up for it all. However, what about her?
She took all of the money in the house, and she had only left a hundred taels of silver for her!
It was almost ten thousand taels of silver. The family wealth had been taken away by her!
Thinking about this, Ms. Lu could not help but feel regretful. In her heart, she finally understood why Xie Niushan had been so angry back then.
In the past, she had not taken the money from the Xie family as her own. She had only thought of giving more gifts. She had looked good, and no one had dared to look down on her as a merchant. However, now that she thought about it, she had been such a fool at that time!
“Mother, there must be something wrong with Xie Qiao. Think about it. If Xie Niushan was destined to harm his daughter, then how could Xie Xi be fine? Isn’t she doing well to be living with him? Even if his life would bring harm to Xie Qiao, is there a need to send her to the Taoist temple?!
“Also, the jade pendant that Xie Niushan asked you to give to Xie Qiao was to ward off evil, right? Did he say that it had been consecrated? This gift from a father to his daughter is a little too strange!” Pei Wanyue added.
