Chapter Eighty-Seven: Unable to Move
Let Lu Xuan leave?
Wen Qing furrowed his brow, and just as he was about to speak up to persuade her, a low laugh came from the carriage, "Madam Chen, this isn't good for you."
Everyone turned around, in the simple donkey cart, "beautiful boy" Lu Yue's smile was a bit awkward and also a bit cold. She just heard her clear and cold laughter: "Madam Chen, you deliberately ran to ask, what did that noble person promise me... Obviously knowing I have a connection with that noble person, how could you still let your cousin drive me out? Don't you fear your cousin will offend that noble person because of this? Ruining the family and ending their future? Madam Chen, being a person is not done in this way!"
These words are so sharp!
If Lu Xuan hadn't pointed it out, Wen Qing wouldn't have discovered that his own cousin was so pitiful and lovely in a glance, with such a gentle tone, yet actually harboring a vicious heart!
He stared at Chen Yan in disbelief, while Chen Yan's beautiful face turned bright red, with tears welling up in her eyes.
Since she was young, this trick has always been effective for her. She often takes advantage of others, and the people who are taken advantage of usually end up in a bad situation without realizing it. Sometimes, when she sheds tears, many people still willingly continue to be used by her.
She never knew that her tricks would be seen through by someone at a glance one day!
What's more, she never thought that the person who saw through her tricks would not care about her family background and status, and directly exposed her without any reserve or fear of offending her!
"Ah Yan!" Just then, the guard stepped forward to block Chen Yan's path, turned his head to glare at Lu Yue, and pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, shouting angrily: "How dare you speak like that? Ah Yan is a simple-minded person, if you continue to frame her like this, be careful or I'll take your life!"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Yan's eyes became even redder, she pitifully hung her head and sniffled from time to time.
Seeing Chen Yan like this, the guard was staring at Lu Yue with anger.
Chen Yan was originally the center of everyone's attention, and when she cried, the guard shouted and threatened, suddenly, dozens of eyes turned to look this way at the same time.
Ati and others hurried over, Wang Shang directly asked Wen Qing: "What happened?"
Wen Qing had not yet replied when the guard coldly shouted: "This man is framing Ah Yan!"
As soon as he drank, everyone looked at Lu Yue together. Those Chen family guards even surrounded him in a circle.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile. She raised her voice and said lazily, "Whether or not I've been in cahoots with your family's daughter-in-law is actually very easy to clarify. Wen Jia Lang Jun, you can go ask around. Just now when everyone was privately discussing my identity and talking about my relationship with that noble, did Chen Shi Ayuan happen to be on the side listening in?"
As soon as Lu Xuan spoke, Ati immediately called out: "I can testify to this, just now when we were talking about this matter, she listened very seriously and was quite unhappy, what's wrong Ah Yuan?"
Lu Xuan said faintly: "No, this Miss Chen just asked Wen Jia Lang Jun what I am, saying she doesn't like me and wants him to drive me out."
A loud humming noise erupted.
Everyone took a look at the lazy Lu Yue, then looked at Wen Qing with an unpleasant expression, and then looked at Chen Yan who was on the verge of tears, as if she had suffered great grievances and injuries, and they started discussing in hushed tones.
Lu Xuan's words were few, but every sentence was to the point. If Chen Yan had clearly heard that Lu Xuan had a relationship with that nobleman and still urged her own cousin like this, then either she was truly foolish or she was malicious.
No matter which point, it makes people respect and keep a distance. Therefore, the young men and women who were originally walking towards Chen Yan, wanting to comfort her a few words, stopped at the same time. And those close to Lu Yue increased significantly.
Seeing the situation becoming more and more unfavorable to herself, Chen Yan was so angry that she couldn't stop sobbing. She wiped away her tears and said: "I didn't! You, you... how can you be like this? I didn't mean it at all. I, I..." She stammered for a long time, but could only cry uncontrollably.
There was no way out, Lu Ying's words had blocked her retreat. She found that she had nothing to retort except tears.
In fact, Chen Yan had never met someone like Lu Yue before. Why did she have to be so direct? Obviously in her living environment, everyone was grinding their teeth with hatred, but on the surface they were all smiling and polite. Even when the enemy family said the most hurtful words, they were also enduring it.
Her family background is far superior to hers, and her beauty is also better than hers. Why doesn't she think more about it? How can she be so inconsiderate? Doesn't she ever think that by making herself an enemy of mine, she will suffer my revenge?
In fact, Lu Xuan was not afraid of her or her family's revenge. On the contrary, she clearly felt that if Chen Yan continued to perform, she might end up in trouble herself.
After she exposed Chen Yan's true face, the Wen family would not have a good impression of her. Among the Chen family, there are people with foresight and a broad perspective who will also dislike her... A chess piece that has not been used yet can be withdrawn at any time. As for onlookers like Ati and other Chengdu socialites, they will also develop a three-point rejection of Chen Yan in their hearts.
Why not strike down an enemy who considers herself a rival while her wings are still unformed, rather than letting her deceive more people into dealing with oneself?
As for the feud that has formed after this, even if Chen Yan or her mother's brother and so on want to avenge her, Lu Yue is not afraid. Because she has clearly placed their grudges in plain sight. They have no choice but to be wary of that noble person, they have no choice but to be wary of the gossiping mouths of the crowd, they simply do not dare to take action!
As she saw the increasingly cold eyes around her, Chen Yan cried until tears streamed down her face, overcome with grief.
"What's going on?"
As the man approached, several guards hurried forward and whispered a few words.
A middle-aged man, upon hearing this, changed his expression. He walked to the front of Lu Yue's donkey cart, bowed deeply and said: "Miss Lu, I apologize on behalf of my unfilial daughter."
Lu Xuan hastily returned the courtesy, "I don't dare, Mr. Chen is too polite."
Chen Gong turned his head back, glaring fiercely at his daughter. Looking at her crying face that was still beautiful beyond compare, he secretly cursed: Truly, she is not capable of accomplishing anything but is good at causing trouble!
This time, the Chen family moved to Chengdu, and it was true that there were reasons for the family business, but pushing this lovely daughter into the arms of a nobleman was also a key part of the Chen family's plan. But he never thought that the daughter who had been entrusted with great expectations by the clan would have her reputation ruined before she even arrived in Chengdu, and before she even saw the face of that nobleman!
This notorious reputation, if it were ordinary times, he could still think of a way to cover it up, but here with so many young masters from wealthy and noble families, who can he cover for?
Exasperated, Mr. Chen said: "Forget it, we have no choice but to think of another way."
Thinking of this, Chen Gong's face turned blue with rage as he ordered: "Take the young lady back to the carriage and don't let her come out and lose face again!"
"Yes."
Several maidservants came forward, pushing away Chen Yan, who was crying with unbearable sorrow. After seeing off his daughter, Mr. Chen swung his large sleeves and left in big strides with a dark face.
Chen Shu had always been on good terms with this younger sister, and seeing her cry so sadly, he couldn't help but glare at Lu Yue from afar, suppressing his temper. He asked someone nearby, "Go ask, what is the origin of this Lu Shi Ayue, and what is her relationship with everyone?"
He thought, can't let his own sister suffer in vain! Because of that noble's relationship, he might not dare to come hard, but in this world, there are many ways to kill with a soft knife.
Just as Chen Shu was getting angrier, the servant walked over. He quietly told Lu Yue's story and said: "Young Master, that little girl is incredible. She used her magic to drive away the mountain bandits last night, and those people, from top to bottom, are all grateful for her kindness."
"What's going on?" Chen Shu hastily asked.
That servant recounted the events of last night in detail, saying: "Young Master, you don't know that Miss Lu's sister, despite her young age, has already subdued those guards. Those burly men, as soon as they mention Lu Shiya, are all deeply impressed and can't help but praise her. As for Young Master and the other ladies, they too are all full of praise for her."
Chen Shu fell silent for a moment before saying, "I understand, you may withdraw."
He rode his horse up to Chen Yan's carriage.
Feeling Chen Shu approaching, Chen Yan gritted her teeth and said in the carriage: "Fourth brother, you have to help me kill her!" Her voice was filled with hatred and malice. "Fourth brother, think of a way quickly, I want her dead! I don't want to see her alive in this world!"
When it comes to killing, she didn't hesitate at all. In fact, relying on her beauty, she had already killed several people. Last year, a handsome young man surprisingly didn't like her but liked one of her handkerchief friends, who was much less beautiful than her and stupid. She then used Chen's trickery to deceive that handkerchief friend into the hands of thieves, letting her lose her innocence and die after killing herself.
When he heard his sister's request, Chen Shu, who had always been obedient to her, fell silent. After a while, he said with difficulty: "A Yan, that Lu Shi girl can't be moved."
He had barely finished speaking when Chen Yan covered her ears and let out a sharp cry from the carriage.
Chen Shu's face was bitter, and he waited until his sister had finished screaming before sighing softly: "A Yan, this time you must listen to Fourth Brother. That Lu Shi, really can't be touched." The young men and women here were all from wealthy families and were well-versed in these cunning tricks. According to the investigation just now, Lu Shi's life was simple, and she didn't have any enemies at home. His own sister might be her only enemy. In this situation, even if he himself did nothing, others would still suspect his sister first if anything happened to Lu Shi.
That woman Na Lu is really unable to move at all.
Thinking of this, Chen Shu ignored the scream from his sister in the carriage and said firmly: "A Yan, you must listen to your fourth brother this time. From now on, don't think about this matter again. After Father and the others have calmed down, Fourth Brother will send you to Luoyang and let you find a good husband there." As for Chengdu, it's not necessary to stay there anymore.
In the carriage, Chen Yan was still screaming, but Chen Shu couldn't care about her anymore. He shook his head and called over the guard who had been following Chen Yan, sternly warning him not to have any ideas about Lu Yue. Only then did Chen Shu urge the horse to leave.
