Chapter 2628: My Husband Treats Me Well
And also she took the place of her own sister. Did she think that everyone else was a fool?
“Third Sister, my husband treats me well and even says I’m still young, so he didn’t consummate the marriage,” Lu Yujing said.
Ning Shu: …
That was because Li Yu never consummated marriage with women.
“For lifelong happiness, I had to fight for it,” Lu Yujing said.
Ning Shu: …
“But that’s your older sister’s husband?” Ning Shu said somewhat incredulously.
“Eldest Sister and Li Yu haven’t gotten married, so he can’t be considered Eldest Sister’s husband,” Lu Yujing bit her lip. “Does Third Sister think I’m not worthy of marrying Li Yu just because I am a non-legitimate child? Just because my mother died in childbirth so I don’t have anyone protecting me?”
Ning Shu furrowed her brows tightly. Who said she wasn’t worthy? Lu Yujing was being too sensitive.
“I don’t think that way.”
Lu Yujing took two steps toward Ning Shu. Ning Shu caught a whiff of the scent of spices on Lu Yujing, indicating that her clothes had been perfumed with spices.
“I know you’ve always looked down on me in your heart. We are all non-legitimate children, Father’s daughters, but what you possess is more than what I have just because your mother is still alive.”
“We are both non-legitimate children, so why do you have more than I do?” Lu Yujing questioned.
Ning Shu: …
“Why are you comparing yourself to me? Why don’t you compare yourself to Lu Mingxuan or Lu Junning instead? The difference was too great, so you chose to compare yourself against me? Lu Yujing, I don’t think I have ever done anything to wrong you, have I?” Ning Shu felt bewildered by this conversation.
Lu Yujing’s expression turned ugly. “Yes, I cannot compare to Elder Sister and Second Sister. But why do you have things that I don’t, as fellow non-legitimate children? My monthly silver is always taken by an evil servant, while you always receive your monthly allowance on time.”
Ning Shu’s expression became even colder. “It’s not like I’m taking your monthly silver.”
Damn it, these people were all abnormal. They even push the blame for things like this onto her?
Seriously?
“Third Sister, you don’t know how important a month’s worth of silver is to me. And you, as a non-legitimate child just like me, have pastries and writing utensils. Why am I living such a miserable life?” Lu Yujing seemed to be venting her inner frustration.
“If an opportunity presents itself, I will never give it up. I don’t want to live such wretched days in the Lu residence anymore.”
Ning Shu calmly said, “I wish you happiness.”
Ning Shu turned around and left. Even without pastries, she wouldn’t starve to death. She didn’t need hairpins to survive either. If she wanted to climb her way up, just climb. Why bother finding so many excuses?
Lu Yujing walked in front of Ning Shu and blocked her way. She tilted her head up to look at Ning Shu. Her face was powdered despite being young, so she looked somewhat strange.
Lu Yujing took out a silver ingot and said, “This silver is to repay Third Sister for taking care of me during this time, as well as for the writing supplies you gave me.”
Ning Shu observed the silver in Lu Yujing’s hand, noticing a mix of uneasiness and satisfaction in her eyes.
It was evident that Lu Yujing was not accustomed to such actions, making her gestures appear stiff.
Ning Shu found it rather amusing. So this was the reason for her visit? To flaunt her newfound wealth?
To use it as a way to mask her own cowardice?
“Third Sister, please take it,” Lu Yujing extended her hand, offering the silver in her palm.
The weight of the silver was not insignificant.
Unable to contain herself, Ning Shu chuckled and responded, “You don’t have to give me silver. Since you’re married now, it’s best to have some money on you.”
“Fourth Sister, I wish you happiness.”
Ha ha…
Ning Shu walked past Lu Yujing without saying another word.
It seemed that this had been on Lu Yujing’s mind all along. Perhaps her thoughts during their interactions were always different from what she portrayed on the surface.
