Chapter 2615: What Will Happen to Our Marriage Proposals?

“That’s enough, everyone can leave now,” Lu Yuanfan sighed heavily, appearing visibly exhausted for a moment.
Lu Yujing was frozen with fear and unable to move her legs. Ning Shu reached out and supported her as they left the courtyard together.
Lu Yujing trembled as she spoke fearfully, “Third Sister, that was so frightening.”
“It’s alright,” Ning Shu reassured her gently.
“But how can it be alright? After such a thing happened to Eldest Sister, what will happen to our marriage proposals in the future?” Lu Yujing asked worriedly.
“The reputation of the Lu family has been tarnished by Eldest Sister. No one will come forward with marriage proposals anymore.”
Ning Shu felt at a loss for words. In this ancient era where everything could be implicated by association, one person’s actions had far-reaching consequences for their entire family.
“Third Sister, what should we do?” Lu Yujing looked anxiously at Ning Shu. “And besides, you’re older than me.”
Ning Shu: …
So that was why it was said children in ancient times matured early huh? Even ten-year-olds thought about such things.
Ning Shu casually said, “Cross the bridge when you come to it.”
Feeling weak and anxious, Lu Yujing leaned on her wet nurse for support as they returned indoors.
Mistress Liu said to Ning Shu, “This time… Madam…”
Ning Shu understood what Mistress Liu wanted to convey. It was highly likely that Mistress Yun would lose her position as overseer of the household due to this incident.
Allowing a concubine to oversee the inner courtyard had already sparked rumors. This visit to Tiantai Temple had only made matters worse.
And now, his daughter’s purity was lost before marriage.
As expected, it didn’t take long for Lu Yuanfan to succumb to his anger and decide that Mistress Yun should no longer manage the inner courtyard. Instead, he transferred the authority to his legitimate daughter, Lu Junning.
Lu Junning readily accepted this newfound power. The first action she took was removing the extravagant decorations from Mistress Yun’s room as they exceeded what a concubine should possess.
Simultaneously, she confiscated items from Lu Mingxuan’s room—many of which were her mother’s dowry—that had previously been seized by this audacious mother and daughter duo.
Helpless on her bed, Lu Mingxuan watched as people emptied her room of exquisite double-sided embroidered screens, creamy white jade ornaments, and luxurious jewelry.
“Lu Junning,” resentfully spoke Lu Mingxuan towards her sister who stood in command while servants moved things out of the room. “In this lifetime, it will be either you or I who perish.”
Lu Junning looked coldly at Lu Mingxuan and slightly raised her chin in a superior manner.
“Eldest Sister, focus on your recovery,” stated Lu Junning with a faint smirk playing at the corners of her mouth.
The despising gaze cast upon her made Lu Mingxuan feel utterly worthless—as if she were nothing more than trash; lowly and insignificant. Deep within herself burned an intense hatred towards her sister.
“It was you! You framed me!” Clutching onto the blanket tightly, anger surged through every fiber of Lu Mingxuan’s being causing her knuckles to turn white
“Eldest Sister, what are you saying? I don’t understand at all. You shouldn’t simply focus on regaining your health and grandly marrying into the marquis household,” replied Lu Junning with a cold tone.
Lu Junning felt that this incident was very strange and suspicious. In her previous life, the marquis was supposed to be Lu Yueyun’s husband, but now he had gotten involved with Lu Mingxuan.
Things have changed.
Indeed, in her previous life, she had no interaction with that Prince Chen, but in this life…
Lu Junning didn’t want to think about what happened that day.
After being affected by the aphrodisiac, she had thrown herself on a man. How could she have known that it was Prince Chen?
Many things have changed.
“Put the things down, put them down!” Lu Jinghui held a slingshot and used it to hit the hands of the people who were carrying the things.
