Chapter 113: Isn't it easy to destroy you?

  Dead silence all around!

  Everyone stared at Lu Xuan in shock, and Xiao Da's wife couldn't maintain her smile, suddenly standing up and staring at her.

  In this world, no matter which group does things, there are its own rules. For a wealthy and noble family like the Xiao Fu, the rule is that unless it's the last resort, unless it's reached the point where one can directly put someone to death, they absolutely cannot lose face.

  Yes, so many people, these overt and covert taunts, surrounding and pressing in, a discerning person can see at a glance that it was instigated by Xiao Dafu's wife. However, when encountering such things, the usual practice of normal people is to pretend to be ignorant.

  Once things are said, there's no room for turning back or softening the blow, and it may even force people to go to extremes. Everyone has their own interests at stake, and today's enemy may become tomorrow's friend due to shared benefits, so it's not necessary.

  So people living in this atmosphere are used to being hypocritical, used to enduring, used to stabbing each other in the back while smiling on their faces.

  Only a fool would counterattack an opponent as fiercely as Lu Xun did.

  But Lu Xun was born with a clever look on his face.

  For a moment, Mrs. Xiao was panting heavily, her breathing loud and clear.

  This is her first time being openly retaliated against. She's always been used to pretending, but at this moment she can't keep it up.

  She narrowed her eyes and stared at Lu Xuan for a while before slowly sitting down, a warm smile gradually returning to her face.

  And she was rebuked by a young girl standing beside her, who rushed to Lu Yue's front and pointed at her, saying in a shrill voice: "You, how dare you speak to the mistress like that?"

  Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow and said lightly: "I dare."

  Lu Xuan slowly and deliberately pulled out the jade pendant from her bosom, which she had originally thought would only be used in extreme circumstances. As she wrapped her fingers around the golden chain on top of it, Lu Xuan lowered her head and said in a cold and gloomy tone: "Madam Xiao is always calculating and scheming, but these things have nothing to do with me. However, I knew that Madam was a venomous snake, and once a venomous snake has bared its fangs, it won't rest until it has bitten someone."

  She smiled brightly and put the jade pendant in front of Mrs. Xiao, leaning forward and staring at her with her eyes fixed on hers, saying word by word: "Mrs. Xiao, do you still want to bite me now? That day you instigated the bandits to surround and kill Ah Yan and the others, I ruined your plan... I know you're resentful, you want to see what kind of person I am today and then take action against me. Unfortunately, you can't move me, and you don't deserve to!"

  Luoyin's words were spoken slowly!

  There was no sound anywhere.

  Everyone's eyes stared at Lu Xuan in shock and uncertainty, each person holding their breath.

  Madam Xiao's face finally changed color, her darkened face, she stared incredulously at the jade pendant, staring at the dragon pattern on it, and the word "Jiang" engraved on it! And the crowd of girls were far away, they only caught a glimpse of Lu Yue's jade pendant, but didn't see clearly. By the time they felt Madam Xiao's face was not right and wanted to gather around to take a closer look, Lu Yue had already calmly put the jade pendant back.

  Mrs. Xiao was still staring at Lu Yue, her eyes fixed on her. In fact, she didn't look as calm as she seemed on the surface. Her heart was racing wildly and a wave of nausea rose up to her throat.

  After a long while, Xiao Daifu finally regained her composure and thought: It's impossible, this jade pendant can't be real!

  She looked up at Lu Xuan again: How did she know what I was thinking?

  She indeed had the intention to kill Lu Yuan. The matter was simple, Lu Yuan ruined her things, making her reputation still unclear, making her husband lose his job, wherever she attended a banquet, there were people pointing at her, and those who were dissatisfied with her even used this matter to talk about her all day long.

  If Lu Xuan were the eldest daughter of a large family, she would not be able to move. The most that Xiao Da Fu Ren, who was secretly harboring resentment in her heart, could do was to use underhanded tactics to ruin her reputation or marry her off to an unsuitable man, and then find another way to get rid of her when the time came.

  It wasn't Ke Luoyin, but she had investigated Luoyin recently and found that she was on good terms with Shang Shi'Aiqing and others. However, she only lived with a younger brother and often went out to sell vegetables. Especially after facing her just now, Mrs. Xiao noticed the calluses between Luoyin's fingers and was convinced that the rumor about her being favored by a noble was just a joke... Otherwise, with that person's abilities, even if they just gave her a glance, this Miss Lu could have lived a life of luxury and nobility.

  It was this glance that made her decide to take action against Lu Yue. And it would be easy to get rid of Lu Yue, just find an opportunity to have someone catch her and send her to a brothel in another place or kill her and throw her into a chaotic burial mound.

  Of course, this matter still needs to pass for a while, until the storm has passed and no one mentions the incident of the young people being surrounded and killed again. It's as if it never happened, and Lu's daughter had not offended herself before taking action again.

  She thought, she had to make these inferior people, the dregs of society, understand one thing: that in this world, not everyone can be offended. If she let herself be passive for a moment, then she would let others trample her for a lifetime!

  This is Mrs. Xiao's philosophy of life.

  But she had calculated a thousand times and ten thousand times, but she hadn't expected that Lu Xuan would see through her thoughts and know that he was going to move her.

  Never thought that such a rural girl would actually have connections with someone like him.

  When Mrs. Xiao's face turned from green to black and then white again, Lu Xuan turned her head, smiled at Gao Xiao Yan, and said: "A Yan, didn't you say you wanted to see your grandmother? Let's go."

  As soon as she finished speaking, she quickened her pace.

  Xiao Yan followed Lu Yue in a daze.

  Seeing their backs, Mrs. Xiao suddenly thought: No, she can't let her see the old lady!

  At this moment she raised her voice and laughed: "Hey, Ah Yan, why are you walking so fast? Quick, go invite Ah Yan and Madame Lu back."

  But before she had even finished speaking, Lu Xuan had already dragged Xiao Yan and started running.

  In a place like this, running around like that is quite out of the ordinary. Suddenly, the maids and servants on both sides turned to look at the two girls, and before they knew it, the two had caught everyone's attention!

  Madam Xiao's face turned pale.

  The several maids who were just about to drag the two women over suddenly stopped and looked towards Madam Xiao.

  Xiao's wife gritted her teeth and thought to herself: No, can't bring them back like this, it will alarm too many people.

  She sank her face and ordered urgently: "We will also go to see the old lady."

  Lu Xuan pulled Xiao Yan to walk quickly for a few steps before stopping behind a fake mountain. She turned around and looked at Xiao Yan, who had come back to her senses, then took out the jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to her, saying seriously: "A'Yan, you take this jade pendant directly to your grandmother and father to show them. Also, those maids in the small garden just now, a few of them are your own people, right? Call them over as well and have them repeat what I said."

  Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and she trembled as she said: "A Xuan, what are you thinking?"

  Lu Xuan nodded and said coldly, "That's right, it was I, the owner of this jade pendant, who personally said that the killing of the crowd at that time was done by your stepmother! I think they should give an explanation to the hundreds of people present that day, to the owner of this jade pendant, and to me, the one with the special jade pendant!"

  Lu Xuan thought coldly: You have a murderous heart towards me! You want to kill me? I'll kill you first!

  Just yesterday when Lu Xuan got this jade pendant, he was thinking that if he couldn't get rid of it, he would absolutely not get rid of it.

  But she didn't expect to meet someone like Mrs. Xiao, a woman who was used to getting her way and being ruthless! The murderous intent in those eyes, which were as venomous as a snake's, made her tremble with fear.

  Lu Xuan deeply knew that there was a kind of person, no matter how hard you tried to please her, it was all fake. The only and most effective way was to knock her down directly, from the very beginning!

  For Lu Xuan, being forced to use this jade pendant was a rare predicament!

  Xiao Yan had already understood, she nodded repeatedly, excitedly with flushed cheeks, looking at Lu Yue, she suddenly asked: "Ah Yue, who do you think I should find first?" "Among your uncles, who has the most say? Or who is your clan leader? Find someone who lives in your yard, has some influence, tell him what's going on, and let him handle it immediately."

  "By the way, remind them that I'm currently playing a game with that noble, so after they've taken a look at this jade pendant, hurry back and tell them not to spread the word."

  Xiao Yan nodded heavily and said seriously: "Yes, I understand."

  Lu Xuan waved his hand and smiled: "Then you go deal with it. I'll head back first and wait to hear your good news."

  "Good."

  When Lu Yuanyuan was about to leave the Xiao Mansion, Madam Xiao hastily rushed to Old Madam's place.

  Just then the old lady was taking a nap. Mrs. Xiao saw that she had arrived ahead of time and her heart settled a bit. She pondered how to deal with this matter while waiting for the old lady to wake up.

  The old lady finally woke up, and Mrs. Xiao immediately went in, serving her with a smile, pretending to be silly and making the old lady happy, without saying a word.

  It's too terrible, she still wants to think about it and figure out how to bring it up.

  Waited and waited, but still didn't see Xiao Yan.

  At this time, Mrs. Xiao knew things were going wrong and she wanted to leave immediately.

  But little did they know, the old lady had brought up a past matter with her and was in high spirits, how could she come out?

  It wasn't until half a time later that he finally finished speaking with the old lady, and just as Xiao Da Furen was about to leave, she saw the two masters of the third and fourth houses walking towards her in big strides.

  "Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle?" Mrs. Xiao rushed up from afar, a smile spreading across her face.

  The two masters of the house, however, paid no attention to her. They strode past her, and just as Madame Xue's heart was racing with anxiety, she heard Third Master order: "Guards! Take Madame Xue into custody!"

  "What?" Mrs. Xiao was shocked, she quickly turned around and rushed towards the two of them. At this time, Old Three's shout came again, "Are you all deaf? Hold her down, cover her mouth!"

  At this time, the old lady in the house exclaimed: "San Er, what's going on? What are you going to do with your sister-in-law?" As she spoke, she trembled and walked out.

  Fourth Brother hastily took a step forward to support her, and after dismissing the maids on either side with a wave of his hand, he gave Third Brother a look that told him to take care of Lady Xiao, while he himself supported their mother into the house.
