Chapter 182 Relatives.

Hearing Lu Gewei’s curse on Ares, Lu Xiao’s expression turned completely cold.

“It seems that my mother and I are different in this respect. I don’t have a rich emotional world and my heart is small. I can only accommodate one person at most. Unlike my mother, who can accommodate so many people. Although my Ares has gone to the battlefield, I believe he will definitely come back safely. I won’t bother you to worry about him.”

At this point, Lu Xiao suddenly smiled at the female and said, “Auntie, if there is a suitable male candidate, let my mother take a look first. After all, my male father is often not at home, and my mother always has trouble sleeping alone. It will be more lively with more people at home.”

The meaning of Lu Xiao’s words was very straightforward. She was saying, “I don’t want the male you introduced to me. If you think he is good, keep him for yourself.”

Lu Gewei could understand the meaning of her words, and because she understood it, her expression became extremely ugly. Others sitting in the seats did not expect Lu Xiao to say such words.

To be honest, since I was invited by Earl Lu Gewei today, my family background is definitely not as good as the Earl’s Mansion.

I came here to make connections and to watch the fun.

But now the excitement seems a little too big. It is said that the eldest daughter of Count Lu Gewei’s family is not an ordinary person. Even someone like Duke Green has suffered losses at her hands. Now I have seen it with my own eyes, and it is true that her reputation is well-deserved.

And the relationship between her and Count Lu Gewei was obviously not as good as Lu Gewei herself said.

At this moment, everyone present couldn’t help but feel conflicted. On the one hand, they wanted to eat melons and continue watching the fun. After all, Earl Lu Gewei’s fun was not something you could see often, and no one wanted to miss the rare opportunity. But they were also worried that if they ate it, they would completely offend Earl Lu Gewei in the future.

After all, they were all people who witnessed Lu Gewei’s embarrassment with their own eyes.

They say family disgrace should not be made public, but this matter has been brought to their faces.

“Lu Xiao, you are so outrageous. I am your mother. I do this for your own good. Do you know what kind of rumors are spread about you now? Do you still want to live a good life?” Lu Gewei slammed the table so hard that the teacups on the table fell over, thinking that this would scare Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao smiled, “What kind of rumors are they spreading? They are just saying that I might have some hidden illness and Ares has caught me with it, and he is threatening me not to find other males. What else can I say? Why don’t I want to rot like them? I am wrong. I can live my life the way I want. Why are they telling me what to do? Who are they? They like to meddle in other people’s business. I am short of money now, so I want them to give me money!”

“Before you say it’s good for me, mother, please take a look at your own life first. I don’t want my family to be like mother’s, cold and lonely without anyone who cares about me. It’s better to live alone until the end of my life. It doesn’t make any difference anyway.”

Having said that, Lu Xiao was still in the mood to pick up the teacup and drink some water to moisten her throat. It was obvious that she could still continue to perform.

Sure enough, the next second, Lu Xiao cast her gaze towards the others, sneered and said, “Aunts and aunties present here today, thank you for making this trip. Please tell those people our mother mentioned after you leave. I don’t care how they live, but please don’t bother me. If I hear a rumor about me again, I will find that person no matter what means I use. I want to see how she lives a good life!”

The moment the words fell, Lu Xiao also slammed the table, startling everyone. A few timid ones stood up and said, “Count Ge Wei, I just remembered that I have something to do at home, so I’m leaving first.”

“Me too, me too!”

All the people in this area left one after another. If they stayed any longer, it seemed that Lu Xiao was going to deal with them as well.

If their family affairs were to become public, it would be a disaster for the society.

Seeing the people she had invited so carefully dispersed in such a hurry, and being laughed at, who knows how the news would get out tomorrow. Lu Gewei couldn’t remain calm anymore, and looked at Lu Xiao: “I think you are crazy, I am your mother, no matter how bad I did, I am still your mother, how could you treat me like this!”

Lu Xiao looked at the crazy Lu Gewei coldly: “You also know that it is my mother, I thought you forgot, otherwise why would you treat me like this, not hoping that I can live a good life, but only hoping that I can be like those females in the empire, and see who is worse. Is this what a mother should do? If so, I would rather not have a mother.”

After Lu Xiao finished speaking, Lu Gewei’s heart tightened. How could she not know what kind of life those females in the empire lived? She was one of them.

Life seems good, but that is just an appearance. Only they themselves know the true warmth and coldness of their lives.

Lu Xiao was right about one thing. She never hoped for her well-being. Why was it that her own life was getting worse and worse, while Lu Xiao’s was getting better and better? First it was Lu Huan, then Kelan, Lu Yu, and finally Duke Cecilia. They should have belonged to her and revolved around her, but now they all went to Lu Xiao’s side. How could she not be jealous?

She’s almost dying of jealousy, okay?
She couldn’t let Lu Xiao live so comfortably. Since her position as the mistress could not be changed, it was not impossible for her to find a few males instead of Lu Xiao. However, she didn’t believe that there were any females who could keep their homes empty without taking in other males after the mistress left.

She had planned everything out and thought that Lu Xiao was just being stubborn. Once she set up the stage, she would naturally accept it with pleasure. However, she didn’t expect that Lu Xiao didn’t give her any face at all and didn’t even take her, her mother, seriously!
“I, I’m going to go before Her Majesty the Queen and accuse you of disrespecting your mother. I’m going to bring your reputation to ruin. Lu Xiao, you give me…”

“I’ll see who dares to go!” A sudden shout came from outside the door, and the old voice was full of majesty. While speaking, Cecilia had stepped over the threshold and walked in, followed by Admiral Clan and the panic-stricken old butler of the Earl’s Mansion.

Lu Gewei looked at the person who came in, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she quickly stood up and walked to Cecilia: “Mother, why are you here? Let me know in advance so that I can go to the door to greet you.”

“No need. I don’t deserve your welcome.” Cecilia sat down on the chair and waved to Lu Xiao, “My dear granddaughter, come to grandma. Don’t be afraid. If you have any grievances today, grandma will take care of it for you!”

Lu Xiao’s heart suddenly warmed up as she looked at Admiral Clan who was nodding at her behind Cecilia. Originally, she didn’t feel anything when facing Lu Gewei alone, but now when facing Cecilia and Admiral Clan, she inexplicably felt aggrieved.

It’s the kind of grievance that one dares to express only in front of one’s loved ones.
