Chapter 2629: Kept Everything Bottled up Inside
Cowardice, sensitivity, pity.
If there had been any remotely inappropriate behavior from Ning Shu’s side, Lu Yujing probably harbored resentment towards her, feeling that Ning Shu looked down on her.
She kept everything bottled up inside instead of speaking up.
By pleasing Lu Junning, did Lu Yujing manage to secure an opportunity to change her own fate?
Li Yu appeared to be a good man, at least in terms of appearance, but he showed no interest in women.
His marriage was merely a facade to appear normal and hide certain fetishes.
Everyone believed that Li Yu was indeed a good man.
Ning Shu had no intention of saying anything about it. How could she possibly reveal that Lu Yujing’s husband had homosexual tendencies?
Even if she did, Lu Yujing wouldn’t believe it. Instead, she would resent Ning Shu and assume that she was envious.
Ning Shu adamantly refused to accept Lu Yujing’s silver, causing Lu Yujing’s face to darken.
In the past, whenever Lu Yueyun gave her things, it felt like giving alms to a beggar. But now, she had the opportunity to give something back to Lu Yueyun.
It seemed like a way to turn the tables and change the situation.
Frustration grew within Lu Yujing as she angrily took back the silver, her gaze fixed on Ning Shu’s figure.
“Miss,” Yuan Xiang whispered to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu stopped walking and asked, “What is it?”
“Miss, don’t be too sad. Fourth… I mean, Eldest Miss is no longer the same as before,” Yuan Xiang said.
“I’m not sad.” Who knew what Lu Yujing’s future would hold? A lifetime was a long time, long enough to wear down one’s heart.
Besides, this was human nature.
Admiration from afar, jealousy up close. Admiration when something couldn’t be reached, jealousy when something was almost within reach. Admiration when there were no conflicting interests, jealousy when there were conflicting interests.
Ning Shu hadn’t realized that Lu Yujing had always been jealous of her. Lu Yujing wasn’t jealous of Lu Mingxuan or Lu Junning because the gap between them was too vast. They were both non-legitimate daughters, but in Lu Yujing’s heart, there was a comparison with Ning Shu.
So you see, one should go out more often. Being confined in this small space really made people become abnormal.
At noon, Li Yu stayed for lunch and Ning Shu also attended. However, as a non-legitimate daughter, she sat towards the back.
Lu Mingxuan and Mistress Yun were still under house arrest and did not join for meals.
Lu Yujing sat beside Li Yu, but they didn’t resemble a married couple. Instead, they looked more like siblings with a significant age difference.
Shen Yichen shamelessly sat next to Lu Junning.
Lu Yuanfan, sitting in the main seat, appeared quite unhappy. Ning Shu wondered what he had discussed with Li Yu.
However you looked at it, it was ultimately the fault of the Lu family, so they’d definitely have to make some compensation and sacrifices to suppress this matter.
At the dining table, there was a lively atmosphere.
Shen Yichen occasionally got food for Lu Junning, which made Lu Yujing very envious. She said, “Prince Chen is so good to Second Sister.”
“Am I not good to you?” Li Yu put a piece of food on Lu Yujing’s plate.
Lu Yujing immediately blushed and coquettishly said, “Thank you, Husband.”
The forever single Ning Shu: …
Ning Shu almost choked on her food.
Public displays of affection in broad daylight!
Ning Shu looked at Li Yu. This man hid himself well; hardly anyone knew about his quirks. As the heir of the marquis’s residence, he was excellent and trustworthy.
Hahaha…
While they were having their meal, Lu Mingxuan discovered that Lu Yujing had returned home and secretly rushed to the front hall.
Seeing Lu Yujing sitting next to Li Yu in fine attire, Lu Mingxuan hated her to death.
