BXBX NOVEL Chapter 509 - 509: No (2)
Although Madam Hua didn’t hear Granny Yang’s words, she could tell from Second Madam Lu’s expression. She smiled and said, “Aunt, it’s normal for girls to be shy.”
Madam Hua and Eldest Madam Hua exchanged glances. Eldest Madam Hua said kindly, “That’s right. It’s the same if we go over and see her later.”
Second Madam Lu’s fair and delicate red hands gripped a handkerchief tightly, her eyes uncertain.
She knew that her daughter wasn’t shy. She was just deceived by those with ulterior motives.
In the past, she could just take it that her daughter was young and let her be willful. However, her daughter was about to marry into the Hua family as a daughter-in-law. Could she still be so willful after marrying?! Her husband’s family wouldn’t spoil a daughter-in-law like this!
Her daughter has to come!
Second Madam Lu instructed Granny Yang, “Go and get her again.”
She used her eyes to signal to Granny Yang that she had to “get” Lu Qin over no matter what!
After a while, Lu Qin, who was dressed in a pink dress, arrived accompanied by Granny Yang. Her small face was tense, and her body was very stiff. She exuded an aura of rejection.
“This must be Third Miss Lu.” The matchmaker smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits. “She’s really good-looking. She looks so blessed.”
“I think you’ve lost weight,” Madam Hua said with some heartache. She pulled Lu Qin to her side affectionately and looked very kind. “Young lady, you have to eat more.”
Lu Qin looked at Madam Hua with a complicated gaze.
When she first met Madam Hua at Baiyun Temple, she had a good impression of her. She recalled that her grandmother had once told her that when a girl is looking for a husband, it’s more important for her mother-in-law to like her than for her husband to like her. In addition, she had a good impression of Hua Xi, so she agreed to this marriage.
However, no matter how good this marriage seemed, she didn’t plan to gamble with her life.
After Lu Qin greeted Madam Hua, Madam Hua took out a purse from her sleeve pocket and stuffed it into her hand with a hint of dominance. She said enthusiastically, “Third Miss Lu, we hit it off at first sight. This seems to be fate from our previous lives.”
“Ah…” Lu Qin felt a sharp pain in her palm, which was stuffed with a purse. She frowned and exclaimed.
“Aiya.” Madam Hua also exclaimed. “Your hand is bleeding.”
She took the purse back from Lu Qin and frowned at it. She said apologetically, “It’s all my embroiderer’s fault for not being careful. She actually left the needle in the purse. When 1 go back, 1’11 definitely punish her well!”
Madam Hua casually handed the pouch to the accompanying nanny, then pulled out a jade bracelet from her wrist and personally put it on Lu Qin’s wrist.
Lu Qin could only thank Madam Hua, and her maid quickly cleaned the wound on her palm.
Madam Hua gave the matchmaker a look, and the matchmaker happily mentioned the auspicious omen of Taihe Divination Marriage-
After a simple ceremony, the engagement ceremony was completed.
Madam Hua and the others didn’t stay long. They left without lunch, leaving only Second Madam Lu and Lu Qin in the room.
Lu Qin held her anger in her heart for a long time. Seeing that there were no outsiders, she said bluntly and unhappily, “Mom, 1 said yesterday that I don’t agree to this marriage.”
“If you insist, I’ll tell Grandma!”
Ever since Madam Lu lived as a widow, she lived in Jingxin Nunnery all year round and rarely butlered.
Second Madam Lu thought that her son’s job was settled and her daughter’s marriage was settled. She felt that today was a double blessing. She was originally in a good mood, but when she heard that her daughter had actually disobeyed her, she was instantly furious.
“Slam!”
Second Madam Lu slapped the coffee table hard, causing the teacup and fruit plate on the coffee table to tremble a few times. A few cherries on the fruit plate rolled to the ground like pearls on a broken string…
“Enough, Lu Qin, is this how you talk to your mother?!” Second Madam Lu was so angry that her face was ashen. She shouted at her daughter, feeling that she was too insensible.
“You clearly agreed to this marriage yourself. Back then, no one put a knife to your neck. Now, you’ve changed your mind. One moment, you want to get married, and the next moment, you don’t want to. Which other girl is like you?!”
“How dare you use your grandmother to pressure me?!”
“Even if your grandmother finds out, she’ll stand on my side! Marriage is good for two families. The two families have long exchanged invitations.. When you cancel the engagement, are you trying to make them our enemies?!”
