The moment she woke up, Huo Wei used her keen intuition to avoid the teacup that went straight to her face.

 

The sound of the broken teacup falling to the ground stimulated everyone’s heart. Looking at the tea water on the ground, Huo Wei slowly raised her head and looked around.

 

In a hall of an ancient mansion, an old woman sat on the main seat with her eyes half-closed. A string of Buddhist beads was slowly rotating in her hand, and her face was pitiful. Huo Wei searched her memory quickly and knew that she was the original host’s grandmother, Mrs.Feng.(In China, that means her surname was Feng before she married.)

 

 

There were a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman sitting respectively on the two sides of the head of Mrs.Feng, which were the father of the original host, Lu Yuan, and her mother Mrs.Chen. The two stared at her angrily. It was Lu Yuan who smashed the teacup.

 

 

The young man sitting next to Lu Yuan was his elder brother, Lu Heng. He didn’t look at Huo Wei with a straight face but looked at the girl beside his mother worriedly. The girl’s eyes were red, and tears fell from time to time. She was so aggrieved. She was the original heroine of this book and the real daughter of the Lu’s, Lu Jingyun.

 

 

And these relatives in front of her didn’t belong to her, only to Lu Jingyun. Because she was not the biological daughter of the family. She was not only greedy for wealth but also held an engagement with her fiance. Today, it was her fiance, Fang Qingze, who said that he wanted to break off the engagement. In a panic and anger, the original host rushed to blame Lu Jingyun but was found to be called to blame.

 

The original host was smart enough to avoid blaming  Lu Jingyun, but she was not as good as Jingyun, who was reborn in this world. Jingyun deliberately showed an aggrieved expression in front of the elders, and then tears fell from her eyes as soon as she was asked. Naturally, there were loyal maids who reported adding the trimmings for her, so the original host had no way to hide.

 

 

Facing the situation like a joint trial, Huo Wei showed a natural surprised expression with her lifetime training of acting skills. She asked in confusion, “What are you doing? If the teacup really smashed on my head, I would be disfigured. “

“How dare you ask?”Lu Yuan banged the table, “What did you do? Yun has suffered a lot because of you? Yun has just come back home. She has been worried. Now she is bullied by you. Have you forgotten who you are? “

 

Huo Wei said innocently, “Of course I know my identity. Because of the mistakes of the servants of the Lus, I lost my biological parents for sixteen years and was brought up by the Lus unexpectedly. Now that the truth has come to light, the Lus said that it was not my fault and let me continue to be the lady of the Lus. I am deeply grateful, but how dare I forget it? “

 

 

Lu Yuan pressed his lips tightly, unable to vent his anger again. He was the one who had said that. The mistakes of the Lus servants had nothing to do with her. Even if the peasant family treated his real daughter harshly, he would not blame the child. Just now, he mentioned her true identity on purpose, which embarrassed him.

 

Mrs. Feng raised her head and looked at Huo Wei carefully. The others, including  Lu Jingyun, who tried hard not to cry, also glanced at her. Confused, Huo Wei looked at Lu Jingyun and asked, “Miss Lu, what are you crying for? You and I were talking and laughing happily today. Why did you cry just after I went back? Who bullied you? “

 

Lu Jingyun was shocked and looked at Huo Wei in disbelief. It was Huo Wei who angrily scolded her for intentionally showing affection to Fang Qingze and scolded her for being unkind. Why did she lie now?

 

 

Seeing the expression on Jingyun’s face, they all believed in Lu Jingyun. After all, Huo Wei was spoiled by her family since she was a child. She had the guts to throw a tantrum and play tricks, while Lu Jingyun was much timider and wouldn’t lie in that kind of small family. Now that Lu Jingyun was surprised, it must be that Huo Wei was lying.

 

“Lu Qiaoshan, admit your mistakes. Don’t make yourself a joke. “

 

Huo Wei’s name in this world was Lu Qiaoshan. With the help of these words, she had already integrated the plot and memory. With a sense of conscience, she calmly smiled and said, “I’m never the one who likes a joke in this family. I don’t think you want me to come here today not to ask for the truth, but because I don’t have the blood of the Lus. You don’t want me to stay, do you? Then I’ll go. “

 

 

“How dare you!”Mrs. Feng finally opened her mouth. With a grim face, she stared at Huo Wei and said in a cold voice, “You’ve just spoken a few words, but you’ve changed a lot. Who do you think you can frighten by saying that?”

 

Huo Wei chuckled. “Well, although you’ve already convicted me beforehand, I still have to tell the truth. I don’t know why Miss Lu likes to run into Fang Qingze. She just came back to the Lus for a month, and she met him three times in the Lus, once in the treasure house, and once in the banquet of the Chens. She met him one time more than me. “

 

“Don’t slander my daughter’s reputation!”Mrs.Chen interrupted her in a hurry. As he glanced around, all the servants left in a hurry. Mrs.Chen frowned and said, “I didn’t teach you well. You are too spoiled. How dare you talk nonsense and ruin Yun’s reputation? What’s your intention?”

 

“So you mean you spoiled the Li family’s daughter so much that you didn’t treat them well. Although the Lis had asked Miss Lu to do a lot of work, they taught her to be kind-hearted and good in everything? So… The Lis has helped the Lus a lot. “

 

“You!” Mrs.Chen covered her aching heart and widened her eyes. She couldn’t believe that Huo Wei was so stubborn to confuse right and wrong. But it suddenly occurred to her that violet was brought up by her. The more naughty Huo Wei was, the more she showed her bad education? She couldn’t find a word to refute for a moment.

 

Lu Jingyun, who was reborn, quickly held Mrs.Chen’s arm and whispered, “Mother, don’t be angry. Our mother and daughter love each other. If you feel sad, our daughter will also feel painful.”

Mrs.Chen was suddenly enlightened. She patted Lu Jingyun’s hand and said, “Don’t worry. I’m fine. Sure enough, my biological daughter is the most considerate. We are connected by blood and can’t be replaced. “She glanced at Huo Wei and said indifferently, “It’s said that the child of a dragon must be a dragon,  the child of a phoenix must be a phoenix and the child of a rat must make a hole. It seems that it’s true.”

 

Huo Wei nodded in agreement. “Of course you’re right.”

 

Her words made people think that the Lus was a group of rats. They didn’t scold her but scolded themselves instead.

 

Before they could react, Huo Wei continued, “Miss Lu probably thinks that she has returned to the Lus. Her parents and relatives are here, and her fiance should also be her, so she never avoided contact with Fang Qingze. She even embroidered a handkerchief and gave it to him. Why did the girl give him a handkerchief? Isn’t it love? “

 

“What handkerchief?” Mrs.Feng looked at Lu Jingyun sensitively, “Is that true?”

Lu Jingyun shook her head in a hurry, “Grandmother, I’m innocent! I have been cautious since I came back home. How dare I be so reckless? “

 

Huo Wei continued, “So… Is it because… Is it because Fang Qingze loves Miss Lu, so he stole it? It can’t be that Miss Lu doesn’t know the rules and is used to going out, so she doesn’t pay attention to the gauge between men and women, right? “

 

“LU QIAOSHAN!” Seeing his sister’s pale face and tears rolling down, Lu Heng couldn’t help standing up and scolding her.

 

However, Huo Wei, who was afraid of him before, didn’t show any fear at all. Instead, she continued, “Today, Fang Qingze came to break off the engagement with me with that handkerchief and said that he and Miss Lu loved each other. Then I have to ask Miss Lu, if she likes him, I will break off the engagement with him. “

 

They were all stunned. After the truth was found out, they could see that Huo Wei was very anxious and wanted to grasp everything that could be grasped. Their love was the first, the identity of the Lus was the second, and the engagement with the Fangs was the third.

 

Lu Yuan was the head of the Dali temple, and the father of Fang Qingze was a marquis by inheritance. The two families were of equal social rank. If they married, they would be the lady of the marquis. Since she was of high status and had a lot of glories, they would naturally not have to worry about her in the future.

 

Moreover, in order to maintain the relationship between the two clans, the Lus would attach great importance to the marriage of an unveracious Heiress. She would be like really the daughter of the Lus, just like Lu Jingyun. Even if Jingyun married someone worse than her, she would be no match for her for the rest of her life.

 

It was precisely because of this benefit that they were surprised to hear that Huo Wei was willing to cancel the engagement. They looked at her carefully and found that she seemed to have changed from restlessness to calmness today as if she had finally accepted her identity as a farm girl.

Lu Jingyun looked at Huo Wei in surprise and doubt. Why was Huo Wei different? Not long ago, she felt happy for irritating Huo Wei, but now she was defeated by her. “Has she been reborn like me?”

 

She took two steps forward, looked at Huo Wei’s face to face, and said tentatively, “You’re lying! You accused me of being nice to Mr.Fang and said that I was disrespectful… “

 

“How could you make up such a story to frame me? I’ve said that I’m willing to cancel the engagement. What else do you want? What’s the benefit of my accusation? If I am really as vainglorious as you think, shouldn’t I please you and flatter you? How can I be against you? Do you believe that I am a fool who grew up in the Lus? “

 

Huo Wei’s question made no one answer. Yes, they could see clearly that she was afraid of going back to her hometown and wanted to stay in the Lus. Then how could she be so stupid to bully Lu Jingyun?

 

This was a very simple truth, but they had never thought that Lu Jingyun had suffered a lot in the Lis. When she came back, she had to endure Huo Wei, a shameless girl who had taken her place and even been bullied by her. It was so pitiful, and Huo Wei, she was too hateful.

 

If Huo Wei was vain and was willing to break off the engagement, then she wouldn’t bully others. But Lu Jingyun seemed to be wronged, which became a knotty problem. Even Lu Jingyun didn’t know how to continue. After all, they were just entangled with each other. She couldn’t prove that she was telling the truth.

 

This was the loophole that Huo Wei caught. It was completely irrational for the original owner to target Lu Jingyun with an emotional impulse. Now she used this rational reasoning to overturn the fact so that they could no longer punish her like this, and then she would be fine.

 

She had just come to this world, and she still had nothing. Naturally, she had to settle down first before making any plans. In ancient times, it was dangerous for a single woman to go anywhere. When she returned to her parents’ home, they would definitely torture her and even have the right to marry her against her wishes. It was better to stay for a few days and find a way to leave.

 

She wouldn’t stay in the Lu family, so she had to at least make sure that she wouldn’t be punished before she left. She also didn’t want to kneel down, copy the Scriptures and pick up beans.

 

After a moment of silence, Huo Wei sighed. “If you want to drive me away, just say it. Please allow me a few days. I’ll leave after I find a place for myself.”

 

Mrs. Feng pressed her forehead and frowned, “All right, Get all of you out. Do not talk about what happened today more. Since we decided to keep the two girls in the family, we should teach them well. Mrs.Chen, you should teach the two of them more. They will finally leave the Lus, at that time they represent our dignity. There must be no mistake. “

 

“Yes, mother.”Mrs.Chen stood up reluctantly. Mrs.Fang was blaming her for not educating her two daughters well.

 

But she also muttered in her heart, Fang Qingze has Lu Jingyun’s handkerchief. No matter how he got it, Lu Jingyun was too careless. She hadn’t been well educated in the past ten years, so she had to be taught strictly in the future.

 

As for Huo Wei, Mrs.Chen thought that she would send Mammy to keep an eye on her in the future so that she wouldn’t make any trouble. After the marriage was settled, she would marry with a dowry. If appropriate, it would be good to help the Lu family by married.

 

They didn’t care about Huo Wei at all, because, in their eyes, she was a farm girl. No matter what the Lus arranged, her life was much better than hers. She should be grateful.

 

Huo Wei didn’t expect them to have any emotional fluctuation. In ancient big families, it was a joke to say that children were affectionate. When children were born, they were taken care of by a babysitter, and the mother might look at them occasionally, the father might not look at them for many days, no longer the ancestors.

 

When children grew up, each of them had a yard, just like their own small family, they didn’t spend as much time with their relatives as maids. Men were in the front yard, and women were in the backyard. Naturally, they distanced themselves from the relationship between the girl and their father. In her opinion, most of the time, this kind of relationship between the two was just the maintenance of interests.

 

Huo Wei calmly walked out of the hall, followed by Lu Heng.”Hello, Mr. Lu.”

 

Lu Heng stopped and frowned at her, “You did it on purpose? Mr. Lu? Just now, you also called Yun like Miss Lu.”

 

“It’s time for me to know who I am. After all, I’m an outsider. I should be polite, or I’ll be accused at any time.”

 

Lu Heng frowned more tightly, “Yun didn’t complain.”

 

Huo Wei nodded and smiled. “Yes, she doesn’t need to complain. She just needs to be wronged. Naturally, someone has to know what she has suffered, right?”

 

Lu Heng felt very uncomfortable as if he was saying that Lu Jingyun was scheming and deliberately showed his grievance. But that was true. If Lu Jingyun didn’t want them to know, he wouldn’t show it at all.

 

He looked away and didn’t look at her anymore. After a moment of silence, he said, “Yun has been away for many years. The Lus and the Lis owe her too. Now that you have enjoyed her glory and wealth, don’t be so mean. “

 

“Mr. Lu, don’t worry. What belongs to me is naturally mine, and what doesn’t belong to me can’t be forced. I won’t force you to do that again. I wish Mr. Lu safe and sound. ” Smiling, she turned around and left.

 

Lu Heng stood still and looked at her. He found that she didn’t look back at him and walked without hesitation. He really felt that Huo Wei was different. She just let go of everything and never asked for his mercy again.

 

He didn’t know why he felt a little uncomfortable. He quickly shook off these thoughts and walked quickly towards the outer courtyard. He had something to do, and these disputes in the backyard were too wasteful. He wouldn’t have come here today if his sister hadn’t just come back and suffered too much.

 

Mrs.Feng and the others in the hall also realized that Huo Wei had never called them today. Although Lu Jingyun had returned home, Huo Wei still insisted on calling them grandmother, father, and mother. They didn’t say anything, but today, Huo Wei didn’t call them. The words “everyone” seemed to have distanced themselves from each other.

 

This made Mrs.Chen very dissatisfied. She didn’t like Huo Wei because of the premature birth. Unexpectedly Huo Wei was not her own daughter, she naturally had more unwilling to tolerate her. As a result, she couldn’t bear her anymore. Lu Jingyun had suffered for so many years and looked like her. That was why she liked her. But when it came to Huo Wei, she thought she was impolite and unruly.

No matter what they thought, she went back to her own house and went into the bedroom. She had two maids, and one of them named Lv Rui, who was more favored, tried her best to hide it, with a somewhat uneasy expression on her face.

 

Glancing at her, Huo Wei sat at the table, poured a cup of tea, and said indifferently, “From now on, Lv Rui don’t have to serve me in the room. I’ll leave these things to Shao Yao.”

Lv Rui was startled, with cold sweat on her forehead. She asked, “Miss, miss, did I do anything wrong? Please give me one more chance. “

 

“Get out. Don’t let me say it again. “

 

Pissed off, Lv Rui lowered her head and left in a hurry. She didn’t even dare to look into Huo Wei’s eyes. Her heart beat so fast that she didn’t catch her breath until outside. She was confused. Why Miss was so frightening? At that moment, she felt that if she didn’t listen to her, she would have a miserable end.

 

But she didn’t know that even if she obeys, she would still come to no good end.

 

In no time, Huo Wei asked Shao Yao to take the contract and sell the Lv Rui to another. She had no interest in keeping such bad guys that were bought off by Lu Jingyun and wanted to harm her.
