Chapter 387: Kick you Out
Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars
Lady Zhang chuckled, âBoth Lady Lu and Scholar Xie are intelligent people. You
are not foolish like Yang and Peng. As long as you wish, thereâs no way youâll fall into someone elseâs hands.â
Lu Jiao squinted at Zhang Biyan and spoke in a deep voice, âI will never do anything harmful to the people, so donât even think about it.â
After she finished speaking, she turned around intending to leave.
Behind her, Zhang Biyanâs expression turned particularly unpleasant. Seeing
Lu Jiao about to leave, she spoke in a cold and stern voice, âStop.â
Lu Jiao halted and turned to look back, with Feng Zhi and Ruan Zhu standing protectively by her side.
Zhang Biyan walked over briskly and stood in front of Lu Jiao, speaking in a low voice, âLady Lu, a person should leave themselves some room. Donât walk yourself into a dead end.â
Lu Jiao smiled at Zhang Biyan, âLady Zhang, youâre quite interesting. Refusing to be tainted by you all, does that mean not leaving myself any room?â
Lu Jiao finished speaking and her expression suddenly turned serious, âI was born as a human, I must act like one. I cannot be a b*stard who disregards the lives of the people and harms them.â
After saying this, she pushed past Zhang Biyan and turned to leave.
Feng Zhi and Ruan Zhu followed Lady Lu Jiao as they walked out.
Zhang Biyan hadnât expected Lady Lu Jiao to show her no face this time and even publicly accuse her of being a b*stard.
As a daughter of the Zhang family, Zhang Biyan had never experienced such mockery. Thinking about the recent attempts to win over Lu Jiao and the humiliation she endured, she couldnât bear it any longer. With a wave of her hand, she smashed the objects nearby.
The shopkeeper didnât dare make a sound. After Zhang Biyan finished smashing, she felt slightly relieved. She coldly laughed and said, âSheâs just a countryside woman, ignorant of her place. Iâll wait to see what arrogance sheâll have left when her man abandons her.â
After Lu Jiao left with Feng Zhi and Ruan Zhu, she spoke to the clerks of Baohe Tang, âPass my thanks to your employer. However, I wonât take over this shop. Iâll find another one.
Lu Jiao finished speaking and boarded the carriage. Feng Zhi and Ruan Zhu followed suit onto the Xie familyâs carriage. The clerk from Baohe Tang went back and informed Zhao Lingfeng about the matter. đŻđ»đđđŹđđ«đ·đžđđđĄ.đŹđžđ¶
Upon hearing that, Zhao Lingfeng knew that the Zhang family was attempting to win over Lu Jiao, but she declined.
Zhao Lingfeng admired Lu Jiaoâs straightforwardness, yet considering that Lu Jiao had offended Zhang Biyan, the daughter of the Zhang family, he feared she would need to be more cautious from now on. However, the Zhang family wouldnât openly act against Lu Jiao; at most, they might scheme in secret.
He wanted to remind Lu Jiao, but considering her character, she probably already knew.
Meanwhile, in the Xie familyâs carriage, Feng Zhi was discussing the matter with Lu Jiao worriedly.
âLady Lu, Lady Zhang will hold a grudge against you. You must be careful from now on.â
On the side, Ruan Zhu grinned and raised her hand, âDonât worry. If she dares harm the Lady, watch how I deal with her.â
Lu Jiao smiled at Ruan Zhu, reminding her, âAnyone I havenât asked you to deal with, donât kill them, understood?â
Ruan Zhu was innocent and didnât quite understand legal matters. If she killed someone without reason, sheâd be in trouble.
Lu Jiao didnât want her to suffer.
Ruan Zhu immediately nodded obediently, âI understand, Lady.â
Lu Jiao turned to the concerned Feng Zhi and said, âNow that sheâs set her eyes on us, unless we collaborate with them, sooner or later, there will be trouble. Whether she ends up acting sooner or later doesnât matter.â
Feng Zhi considered this reasoning and nodded, âWeâll be more cautious in the future.â
In the evening, when Xie Yunjin returned, Lu Jiao told him about the situation. Xie Yunjinâs face turned cold instantly, speaking in a low voice, âThe Zhang family is detestable. They better not make any moves. If we catch any unfavorable evidence against them, we wonât let them off.â
Xie Yunjin thought about Lu Jiao rejecting Zhang Biyan. That woman would probably hold a grudge against her, so she needed to be careful.
âYou have to be careful in the future. Wherever you go, take Ruan Zhu with you.
Otherwise, let Ruan Kai accompany you. That way, Iâll feel more at ease.â
Xie Yunjin kept speaking incessantly, but Lu Jiao shook her head and refused, âItâs fine. Even if the Zhang family plots against me, they wonât openly make a move. They dare not. If they scheme in secret, Iâm not afraid of them.â
Lu Jiao finished speaking but thought that Zhang Biyan might retaliate against her. Considering the current situation in Qinghe County, Magistrate Hu had started drawing in some merchants and was forming the Qinghe County Chamber of Commerce.
The prominent families were in a dilemma. If they joined, they had to lower the prices of their goods, which they were unwilling to do. But if they didnât, they feared repercussions from Magistrate Hu later.
Therefore, the four prominent families were essentially caught in a dilemma and urgently needed someone to persuade Magistrate Hu against forming the Chamber of Commerce.
So, they definitely wanted to win over Xie Yunjin to dissuade Magistrate Huâs plans. By winning Xie Yunjin over and simultaneously striking at her, the best move was to make Xie Yunjin like another woman and abandon Lu Jiao.
As Lu Jiao pondered, she suddenly turned to Xie Yunjin. Seeing her peculiar expression, Xie Yunjin couldnât help but ask with concern, âWhatâs wrong?â
Lu Jiao grinned, âI feel like the four families still want to win you over. What do you think is the best way to win you over and strike at me at the same time?â
Xie Yunjin was already clever and immediately understood. His expression involuntarily turned cold. However, after a moment, he looked at Lu Jiao eagerly and asked.
âJiaojiao, are you worried?â
His point was, if another woman had feelings for him, would Lu Jiao be worried or concerned?
Lu Jiao coldly huffed, âIf you fancy someone else, just tell me. Iâll pack up and make room for someone else.â
But as she finished speaking, feeling that her words were off, she quickly added, âThe house is mine, so I should pack up your things and kick you out.â
Xie Yunjin immediately wore a troubled expression. He reached out to hold Lu Jiaoâs face and stated.
âJiaojiao, Iâm not interested in those women. If I was, I wouldnât have only fallen for you.â
Seeing Lu Jiaoâs indifferent expression, he reaffirmed, âThose women might look a little better at most; theyâre merely decorations. Unlike you, Jiaojiao, who looks good, has abilities, a good heart, cares for children, and is all-around excellent, without any flaws.â
Lu Jiao blushed from the praise, feeling a bit awkward. Even though she knew Xie Yunjin was exaggerating, hearing those words made her ecstatic.
She quickly glanced at Xie Yunjin and said, âI think they might use some means to win you over. Iâll prepare some self-defense remedies for you in the back courtyard.â freewebnov el.com
As Lu Jiao finished speaking, she turned to leave, but Xie Yunjin suddenly reached out and stopped her, eagerly asking, âJiaojiao, youâve been away all day. Did you miss me? I really missed you..â
