Chapter 322: Snake Bite
Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars
This was the first time Lu Jiao visited, and she did not speak much. However, Lady Xia noticed her as soon as she came in. Lu Jiao was the most conspicuous among all the ladies. Not only was she beautiful, her skin was also so pale that it seemed to glow. Even Lady Xia, who was older, couldn’t take her eyes off her.
“You young ones are all so sweet-tongued, but today, I want to introduce a new guest who is very important.”
After Lady Xia spoke, she gestured for Lu Jiao with her hand.
Lu Jiao got up, walked over, and sat down beside Lady Xia. Lady Xia held Lu Jiao’s hand and introduced her, “This is the wife of Xie Yunjin. It’s your first time meeting her, right?”
Zhu Baozhu and Tan Xiaoya immediately said, “We have known Lady Lu for some time.”
Zhang Biyan and the others smiled and said, “We are meeting her for the first time. We heard that the wife of scholar Xie has been living in the countryside, and we thought she was a person who could not be seen. Now that we see her, we realize that she is too beautiful and has been hiding so that no one can see her. It shows just how narrowed-minded scholar Xie is.”
“Hahaha, scholar Xie is afraid of others seeing his wife. He wants to keep her for his eyes only.”
“I heard that scholar Xie has quadruplets. I wonder if all four of them look the same?
Regardless of whether they looked up to Lu Jiao or not, everyone talked very livelily. They all seemed to be good friends, but the reality was that they were all giving Lady Xia face.
Lady Xia smiled and looked at everyone, occasionally interjecting with one or two words.
When everyone in the room was talking clamorously, two to three figures broke in from outside. The last one was a servant of the Lu family, “Lady Lu, I thought she was a guest invited by Lady Xia, but it turns out she is not. I asked her to leave, but she ignored me.”
The person who broke in was none other than Du Lanzhu.
Because of her affair with her cousin, Du Lanzhu was ridiculed wherever she went, so she hated Lu Jiao.
She had previously ordered someone to capture Lu Jiao, hoping to ruin Lu Jiao’s innocence. This way, Xie Yunjin would not want to keep Lu Jiao as his wife, and this woman would end up with the same fate as her.
As a result, the person who caught Lu Jiao not only failed but also caused the Du family to lose a large sum of money.
Du Lanzhu became more and more enraged and ordered someone to watch the Xie house. Today, when Lu Jiao appeared, she followed her and found that she was attending an event hosted by Lady Xia, the wife of the district academy.s Dean.
Du Lanzhu saw this as an opportunity and immediately rushed in with her maid.
“Lu Jiao, you shameless sl*t who specializes in seducing men! If it weren’t for you, how could Han have divorced me?”
She did not wait for Lu Jiao to react and looked at the people in the banquet hall, shouting, “You must be careful of this woman. She likes to seduce other men, and you will suffer like me!”
In the banquet hall, many people’s faces changed. Feng Zhi was angry and was about to come out to curse when Lu Jiao stopped her.
Lady Xia’s face looked very ugly.
She knew about the Han family’s situation. It was clear that this woman, Du Lanzhu, had no respect for the virtue of a married woman, and had fooled around with her own cousin. Now she had come over to cause trouble.
Lady Xia immediately ordered her servants with a stern face, “This is really absurd. Drag her out of here.”
Two servants rushed in from outside the Lu family’s gate, grabbed Du Lanzhu and tried to drag her out.
The maid beside Du Lanzhu hurriedly protected her master, “Let go of my master, let her go.”
In the banquet hall, Lu Jiao stood up calmly and looked at Du Lanzhu, saying, “Du Lanzhu, what’s wrong with your head? Classmate Han and I have only talked a few times yet you dance around telling everyone that I seduced him. If I am not blind, why would I choose classmate Han instead of my husband?
My husband is much better than classmate Han in terms of education and appearance. What makes you think I would choose classmate Han instead of my husband?”
She sneered then continued, “Do you think I am like you, abandoning my own husband and hooking up with your so-called cousin? Are you blind or do you think everyone is as blind as you?
If her cousin was so good, would her parents let her marry classmate Han instead of her cousin?
Aftern she listened to Lu Jiao’s words, Du Lanzhu’s face twisted with anger, and she cursed, “You b!tch! If it weren’t for you seducing him, why would classmate Han always praise you? If he didn’t constantly tell me how good you were, would I end up like this?”
Lu Jiao jeered, “You sure know how to avoid responsibility. You and your cousin hooked up two or three years ago. I only met classmate Han two months ago.” In the hall, Zhu Baozhu also spoke up for Lu Jiao.
“Two years ago, I saw you and your cousin shopping together for clothes. At that time, I even said that you and your cousin had such an affectionate relationship. You didn’t even care that I made that comment. Now you blame Lady Lu for what happened? You really have no shame.”
Lady Xia didn’t want her banquet to be ruined like this, so she immediately waved her hand to have her servants remove the troublemakers.
The servants of the Lu family immediately dragged Du Lanzhu out, and her personal maid went to pull her back. Another servant from the Lu family came in and dragged the maid out as well.
Because of Du Lanzhu’s outburst, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became somewhat tense. The two to three women behind Zhang Biyan now stared at Lu Jiao with suspicious eyes.
This woman was probably not to be underestimated, otherwise, why would Du Lanzhu work so hard to drag her down? Flies don’t target eggs that weren’t broken. Maybe she really seduced Du Lanzhu’s husband.
Lu Jiao naturally saw the look of these women, but she didn’t pay any attention to them.
Lady Xia spoke up, “Don’t believe the words of that woman from the Du family.
Yunjin is not only highly educated but also good-looking. Moreover, he loves Lu Jiao very much. How could Lu Jiao possibly have anything to do with that boy from the Han family? He hasn’t even passed the scholar exam yet.
During this year’s imperial examination, Yunjin has been helping him review. If they had anything, how could Yunjin help him review…”
As Lady Xia finished, a scream suddenly came from outside the courtyard, and the servants of the Lu family panicked and shouted, “Snake, poisonous snake!”
Several people in the banquet hall heard the screams outside, and all looked terrified. It was almost September, why would there be snakes?
Nobody dared to go out.
Outside the banquet hall, a servant hurriedly walked in and reported, “Lady
Xia, Du Lanzhu was bitten by a poisonous snake in our house.”
Lady Xia’s face turned ugly, and she breathed heavily, “The yard was cleared earlier, where did the snake come from? And it’s a poisonous snake?”
Although Lady Xia didn’t want to believe it, she still got up to check on Du Lanzhu’s condition.
In the back of the banquet hall, Zhu Baozhu grabbed Lu Jiao’s hand and said, “Let’s go out and watch the show. That woman just insulted you earlier, and now she’s getting karma served to her. She deserves it..”
