This cruel truth scared Second Madam Lu out of her wits. Although she did prioritize her son, her daughter was also the flesh and blood that she had carried in her womb for nine months.
She had never planned to use her daughter’s life in exchange for her son’s job. She had only agreed to the marriage because she felt that “Hua Xi” was talented and had a good character. She couldn’t miss this future top scorer son-in-law.
No matter how Second Madam Lu explained, Madam Lu didn’t listen. She scolded her and Second Master Lu firmly. In one moment, she scolded the couple for being too careless about Lu Qin’s marriage. The next moment, she scolded Second Madam Lu for not knowing the severity of the matter and actually offending Gu Yanfei. The next moment, she said that the Eldest Prince had already asked to marry Gu Yanfei as the prince’s consort in public.
Only then did Second Madam Lu know how powerful she was. If Gu Yanfei became the princess consort in the future, it meant that this Second Lady Gu might even be the future empress.
At the thought that she had offended the future empress and caused trouble for her family, Second Madam Lu was shocked and almost fainted.
Madam Lu was a decisive person. She immediately gave her maternal family an idea and asked Second Madam Lu to personally make a trip to the Duke’s Mansion to ask Imperial Duke Wei’s Madam to help negotiate. She also invited Uncle Chang and his wife to the Gu Mansion to apologize.
At this moment, Second Madam Lu couldn’t sit still and looked at Gu Yanfei nervously.
Imperial Duke Wei smiled and said, “All Qin’s mother is someone I have known since childhood. She has always been like this, shedding tears at the drop of a hat. I’ve warned her before that she would eventually suffer a major setback!” “She still doesn’t believe it. Sigh, it’s a pity that our Ah Qin suffered because of this muddle-headed woman.”
Her words not only insulted Second Madam Lu, but also used Lu Qin to move her emotionally. She also hoped that Gu Yanfei wouldn’t argue with Second Madam Lu on Lu Qin’s account.
“It’s all thanks to you for saving my daughter’s life this time!” Second Madam Lu lowered her posture and bowed. “Qin’er woke up at noon yesterday. She’s still a little weak.”
As she spoke, Uncle Chang and Second Master Lu kept glancing at Gu Yuan, who was sitting at the head of the table. They hesitated about whether they should lower their faces and ask this nephew to help put in a few good words.
Second Master Lu originally wanted to pull his son, Lu Shi, along, but that kid said that he was on duty and ran away. He even said that they had reaped what they sowed.
Gu Yanfei finally spoke. “Let Ah Qin rest well for three days.”
Although she didn’t say if she would accept the Lu family’s apology, Second Madam Lu’s heart, which was in her throat, finally relaxed a little. She was secretly glad that her daughter’s face was useful.
Second Madam Lu tried to speak in a light tone. “I’ll tell Qin’er when 1 get back. She hates to lie down all day long and said that she was going for a walk this morning, or her bones are going to rust.”
Imperial Duchess Wei smiled and continued, “Jiaoniang went to accompany her just now. She said that she would keep an eye on her.”
Speaking of Wei Jiaoniang and Lu Qin, the atmosphere in the room finally became a little more natural.
“Jiaoniang has been a good child since she was young. She’s open-minded, magnanimous, and straightforward. She’s also pure-hearted toward others. No wonder she and Second Lady Gu got along.” Second Madam Lu used the excuse of praising Wei Jiaoniang to praise Gu Yanfei as well.
On the other hand, it amused Imperial Duchess Wei. She smiled so widely that her teeth couldn’t be seen.
Second Madam Lu continued, “The bracelet you gave my daughter the day before yesterday shattered, so I picked another one. Miss Wang, please accept it.”
Second Madam Lu solicitously asked the nanny in charge to send a generous gift-
Yesterday afternoon, after Lu Qin woke up, the white jade bracelet that Gu Yanfei had given her suddenly shattered into powder. At that time, Second Madam Lu didn’t care. When she thought about it again after knowing the truth, she felt that this bracelet must have protected her daughter’s soul or become her substitute. In short, that bracelet must have shattered for her daughter.
Second Madam Lu also knew that she couldn’t afford to return such a precious thing. After thinking about it, she could only choose the best jade bracelet from the storeroom to express her sincerity.
The nanny approached Gu Yanfei, holding a sandalwood box intricately carved with flowers. Inside the box, there was a glassy green jade bracelet.
Gu Yanfei casually glanced at the box. Her gaze suddenly paused as she saw the jade bracelet being picked up.
The emerald green jade bracelet was translucent and sparkling, its vivid and intense green color clear and bright like ice. It was evidently a top-grade piece of jade..
