Chapter 1757: Sisters Falling Out Chapter 1757: Sisters Falling Out Editor: Henyee Translations Otherwise, if the patriarch and the patriarch’s wife were to arrange a marriage for their Young Master, he would likely not reject them.
The mere thought sent shivers down their spines, contemplating the potential consequences.
Shocked, they found solace in the belief that it was a heavenly blessing from Madam, ensuring their Young Master’s good fortune.
Gratitude washed over them, recognizing his stroke of luck.
Unable to engage in gossip, Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing refrained from divulging any information.
Nevertheless, their concern for Zhao Shu led them to suggest a timely departure to the capital, offering assistance to Lord Shao and Madam Shao if needed.
Zhao Shu readily agreed, deciding to bid farewell to the patriarch after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Departing for the Young Masters of prominent families involved a meticulous process.
They packed their belongings, bid farewell to their elders, and could only truly set out after the 20th of the first lunar month.
Lengthy farewells with relatives and friends extended the departure timeline, spanning at least ten days to half a month.
Once the matter was settled, they could leave within a few days, bringing relief to Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing.
Unexpectedly, the Lu family faced a setback.
With Zhao Shu’s family matters resolved, the Lu family’s previous boasts turned into a source of mockery.
Countless people derided them behind closed doors, though none were foolish enough to explicitly convey the ridicule to the Lu family.
However, an exception emerged.
During a banquet hosted by the Lu family, Miss Lu and Sister-in-law entertained a group of young misses and madams.
Among them were those who harbored ill feelings towards Miss Lu.
Coincidentally, there was a quarrel.
The other party was angry and spoke too quickly, so they used this matter to mock Miss Lu.
Due to this ordeal, Miss Lu found herself overwhelmed with shame and resentment.
She even harbored bitterness towards her mother, feeling that the matter had not been truly resolved but had instead spread far and wide.
Unable to face the embarrassment, she was on the verge of hiding from everyone.
To her dismay, the mockery didn’t end.
In front of a gathered crowd, people openly taunted her, and snickers echoed from the onlookers.
Blushing with embarrassment, Miss Lu covered her face and fled, tears streaming down her cheeks.
The two daughters-in-law of the Lu family shared in the embarrassment, and witnessing Miss Lu’s distress made others unfortable.
Swiftly changing the topic, they attempted to divert attention away from the awkward situation.
While the incident was promptly suppressed at the banquet, whispers lingered as some couldn’t resist discussing it in hushed tones afterwards.
After the banquet, news of the embarrassing incident spread throughout the Lu family, leaving everyone disgruntled.
To everyone’s shock, Miss Lu, overwhelmed by embarrassment, attempted to hang herself.
Fortunately, her vigilant maidservant intervened in time, saving her from harm.
Mrs.
Lu, deeply distressed, held her daughter close, tears streaming down both their faces.
Overwhelmed with grief and anger, Mrs.
Lu directed her frustration towards the patriarch’s wife and sought answers from the Zhao Family.
In her pursuit of justice, she decided to expose the matter.
Exasperation fueled a heated argument between the patriarch’s wife and Mrs.
Lu, resulting in an irreparable rift in the relationship between the cousins.
Mrs.
Lu, fueled by resentment and an unwavering determination, refused to back down.
The thwarted oute with the patriarch’s wife only intensified her resolve.
At this point, retreating would mean forfeiting everything.
She believed that by pressing forward, there might still be a chance.
The motion extended to the Zhao Family clan, eliciting the patriarch’s ire.
Frustrated, he vented his plaints to his wife, realizing that the matter needed resolution.
Summoned amidst the chaos, Zhao Shu arrived, wearing a perplexed expression.
Mrs.
Lu, however, didn’t want to strain her relationship with him.
She refrained from holding on to him, seeking a more diplomatic approach to address the unfolding situation.
