357: How Was It Different From Insult?

How Was It Different From Insult?

Huier covered her face, her lips quickly turning red. She looked at Lu Sheng in shock and fear.2

Lu Sheng's smile disappeared and her eyes were as cold as snow.

Shangguan Linger was also shocked. The servant beside her hurried to support her.

"I can tolerate your foul mouth once or twice, but not a third time."

Lu Sheng walked forward and squatted down. She pinched Huier's chin and said lightly, "Remember, take a detour the next time you see me. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I won't twist your neck directly."

Just because she could not be bothered to bicker did not mean that she was easy to bully.

If someone dared to insult her family, she should not be blamed for being vicious.

After being stunned, He Lai hurried forward to persuade her. "Forget it, Ah Sheng. Don't bicker with these people with foul mouths. It's beneath your status."

Lu Ran glanced at Huier indifferently and did not speak.

When Lu Sheng heard that, she let go and took out her handkerchief to wipe her hands. Then, she threw the handkerchief onto the snow.

"Brother, Uncle, let's go."

Lu Ran nodded slightly. He Lai glanced at Huier disdainfully and mumbled, "Why is a good girl's mouth so foul?"

Then, he left with Lu Ran and Lu Sheng.

"She… She actually lives here!"

Shangguan Linger took a few deep breaths and looked up at the plaque at the door. She realized that the words 'Lu Mansion' were carved on it.

"Lu Mansion!"

She looked at the Chu Mansion's gate not far away and then at the Chu Mansion. Her body immediately softened.

"Brother Sihan… He actually bought a mansion opposite the Chu Mansion for Lu Sheng!"

"Miss, are you alright?"

Another servant wanted to help Huier up, but Shangguan Linger suddenly knocked into her and she almost fell.

"What's so good about Lu Sheng? She's just a countryside girl. What does Brother Sihan like about her?"

Shangguan Linger only felt a dull pain in her heart.

She could not accept Chu Sihan neglecting her for a countryside girl.

Or rather, she subconsciously felt that she was a hundred or a thousand times better than Lu Sheng. She could not accept Chu Sihan ignoring her outstanding self for Lu Sheng.

"Miss… Miss!"

Huier's voice pulled her back from her thoughts.

Shangguan Linger regained her senses. She took a few deep breaths before looking at her and saying calmly, "Pack your things and leave the Shangguan Mansion. Don't appear in front of me again."

"Miss?!"

Huier was in disbelief.

She had followed Miss since she was young. No matter where Miss went, she liked to bring her along. She would often praise her for being smart. Now that she saw her being bullied by outsiders, not only did she not help her, but she even wanted to chase her away?

"Although I wish she could die, I don't dare to confront her head-on. Do you know why?"

Huier looked confused and shook her head blankly.

She had thought that Shangguan Linger was friendly to Lu Sheng only because she was afraid of Lin Jiang.

However, it seemed like that was not the case.

Didn't Miss always say that Lu Sheng was just a countryside girl?

What background could a countryside girl have?

"Because she's Brother Sihan's sweetheart, the future… matriarch of the Chu Mansion!"

Shangguan Linger gritted her teeth when she said the word 'matriarch'.

This should have been her position. She did not expect that she could not even be a concubine!

Huier was stunned.

She did not expect Lu Sheng to be related to Chu Sihan.

She was just saying her words casually.

In that case, what was the difference between letting Lu Sheng beg Shangguan Linger to bring her to see Chu Sihan and insulting Shuangguan Linger?
