Chapter 287: Living there for Free? How big of a Face

Translator: c.o.keZero      Editor: Rainystars

Li Yuyao took off one of her bracelets. This bracelet was noticeably expensive and was made in a pair. Li Yuyao put the bracelet on Lu Jiao’s wrist.

Lu Jiao subconsciously wanted to decline. She didn’t prepare any gifts for Li Yuyao and didn’t feel right accepting anything from her. Plus, she could tell that out of everything Li Yuyao wore, the bracelets were the most expensive. It felt awkward to take it.

“I don’t… 2 ‘

Li Yuyao pulled on Lu Jiao’s hands, “This is a pair of bracelets. We each get one.”

Her tone made it clear that she wasn’t going to take no for an answer.

By the door, Li Yuqin’s face turned green. She’s been wanting that bracelet for so long but her sister refused to give it to her. Today, out of nowhere, her sister gave it to an outsider. Li Yuqin hated her biological sister at the moment.

Inside the room, Madame Song spoke up as well, “Since Yuyao likes Lady Lu, then we will all be witnesses to their sworn-in sisterhood. From now on, Lady Lu is a part of our family. I hope everyone will treat us all kindly.”

Now that Madame Song had spoken, n.o.body could object. Everyone started to flatter Lu Jiao. Many people now also understand something.

It appeared that there was a rift between Li Yuyao and her Li family. The Li family must’ve done something to hurt Li Yuyao.

Li Yuyao was truly happy today. M/henever she recalled the moment when Lu Jiao saved her, she felt overuvhelmed with grat.i.tude.

Now that Lu Jiao was her little sister, she was willing to spoil Lu Jiao forever.

If it weren’t for Lu Jiao, she would’ve died. Her death might not have mattered but her son would’ve died as well. Lu Jiao i s kindness will be something she remembered for the rest of her life.

Lu Jiao could also tell that Li Yuyao genuinely wanted to be sisters and that she was going to treat her very kindly.

Therefore, she was going to accept her sincerity. There will come opportunities when Lu Jiao will be able to repay her.

Lu Jiao happily accepted the bracelet and smiled at Li Yuyao, “Then, thank you, sister.

Li Yuyao was in a great mood and grabbed Lu Jiao’s hand, “Sister, come and take a look at your nephew. He grew so much in just a month.”

Lu Jiao followed Li Yuyao. She wanted to give him the gift she picked out. However, before the pair reached the baby, a sarcastic comment was made.

“Lady Luj you sure are good at profiting off situations.”

The commenter was obviously seeking a fight.

Lu Jiao looked over and found an unfamiliar woman looking at her sourly.

Lu Jiao turned to Li Yuyao and asked, “Sister, that is…?

Lots of people inside the room found this situation to be odd. What was happening? Lu Jiao didnt appear to know Du Lanzhu so why was Du Lanzhu provoking Lu Jiao?

Someone introduced, “She is the daughter of the Du family, the daughter-in-law of the Han family, Du Lanzhu.”

Lu Jiao understood then. She was cla.s.smate Han’s wife, Du Lanzhu.

It appeared that Du Lanzhu didn’t like her. Sadly, she didn’t know why given that theyd never met before.

“I wonder what you mean by that, Lady Du?”

Du Lanzhu entered with her servant. Her servant pulled on Du Lanzhu’s clothes in an attempt to stop her from speaking more.

Lady Lu l s husband was great friends with master Han. Lady Du’s behavior meant she was going against her husband’s wishes. Master Han was going to be angry later.

Du Lanzhu was already arrogant and would never take her servants seriously. She marched in and walked directly in front of Lu Jiao and mocked, “I’ve met lots of countryside people like you. You scheme and plot in order to squeeze benefits out of those who may be of use to you. Before, your family did everything you could to b.u.t.ter up my husband and profit from my family. Today, you flatter the magistrate’s family to become sworn sisters with the magistrate’s daughter-in-law.”

Du Lanzhu then said to Li Yuyao, “Sister Li, I have to warn you to be careful against these scheming people.”

Li Yuyao’s expression fell hard as she silently cursed Du Lanzhu i s stupidity.

She knew how close cla.s.smate Han and Xie Yunjin were.

Cla.s.smate Han was smart enough to know that he would benefit from being friends with someone with potential, someone like Xie Yunjin. It may just so happen that the Han family would need help one day.

It was a mutually beneficial friends.h.i.+p. Sadly, this Lady Du was too stupid to see it.

Li Yuyao looked at Du Lanzhu with disdain, “Lady Du, there’s no reason for you to trouble yourself with my familys business. Plus, my sister isn’t scheming. I was the one who suggested and made her my sworn sister. She wasn’t all in favor of the idea. Do you know how good of a doctor my sister is? Lots of people want to get on her good side. I think I am the one profiting here. Not her.”

Li Yuyao i s words soothed Lu Jiao’s anger a little bit. She turned to Du Lanzhu, “Lady Du, I wonder what benefit I received from your family? Why must I bear and endure your taunting?

Du Lanzhu stared at Lu Jiao with her eyes wide, “You dare to say the house you’re living in now isn’t my familys? You’re living in it for free. How big of a face do you have!”

Her words made everyone stare at Lu Jiao.

Everyone wondered if what Du Lanzhu had accused was true. The Xie family was living there for free? If that was the case, then they were truly shameless.

Xu Qingyin took this opportunity to speak up. She had to make sure she attacked this countryside woman while she could.

“If you can’t afford it, why must you move to the city and live at someone else’s house for free?

Lu Jiao turned to Xu Qingyin and asked everyone, “And who is this? I just moved here and I have no idea how I managed to offend so many people in such a short period of time.”

Li Yuyao answered instantly, “That is the grand commander’s daughter, Xu

Qingyin.”

Lu Jiao checked out Xu Qingyin. This woman was born with a beautiful face. However, she appeared to be the same type of person as Du Lanzhu. She was arrogant and inconsiderate

Lu Jiao was too lazy to get involved with them and coldly stated, ‘You better have evidence to support your claims. I can make a case in court over slander. However, I just arrived in this city and don’t want any trouble. If you once again make baseless accusations against me, I will not let you go easily.”

Lu Jiao straight up took out her deed and shook it around. She stared into Du Lanzhu’s eyes and said, “What do you mean living in your house for free? Open your eyes wider and take a look. I bought your house. Though 1,200 taels of silver for that house could be considered low, I was only able to get that price due to the great relations.h.i.+p between your husband and mine. To say we are living there for free is pure slander. That is a crime. You really think words that come out of your mouth can do no harm?”

Lu Jiao felt so lucky to have not cheapened out on cla.s.smate Han. If she truly bought the house at 800 back then, this woman just might find uglier words to use against her..
