Chapter 53: How Shameless are you

Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars

Lu Gui was dumbfounded and looked over to Lady Tian. Lady Tian chortled and shoved the rest of the cake into her mouth.

Lu Gui turned bitter. Was she his birth mother? He must’ve been adopted, that must be it.

Lady Tian finished her cake. Lu Jiao then snuck out two giant peaches for herself and Lady Tian.

Just to spite her son, Lady Tian didn’t decline and the two ate happily.

Before, Lu Gui was hungry and felt like he needed food. Now, he simply wanted the peach. The peach smelled sweet and he could see how juicy it was. How tempting.

He’s never had such a giant peach before and was certain that this didn’t come cheap. Did his sister get rich?

The daughter and mother ate red bean cake and giant peaches and were no longer hungry. They walked back to the Xie Village without another break.

Behind them, Lu Gui was starving and didn’t even have the strength to walk anymore. Like a puppy, he called out to Lu Jiao, “Sister, my best sister, please pity your brother. I was wrong before. I was at fault. I won’t ever act unreasonably in front of you anymore. I promise you that I will respect you.”

Lu Jiao stopped walking and stared at Lu Gui, “You think I am angry because you don’t treat me well? No. I don’t care that you never treated me well. You don’t have to like me. I don’t like you either. We are really not that different. The key is that you disrespected mother and that makes me so angry.”

Lu Jiao’s words touched Lady Tian, who wiped away her tears.

See, she was right to spoil Jiaojiao. At the end of the day, daughters were the ones who stuck around. If it weren’t for her daughter today, she may end up getting bullied to death.

Lu Jiao didn’t plan on truly ignoring Lu Gui for the rest of her life. She just wanted to teach Lu Gui a lesson so he stops disrespecting Lady Tian.

She didn’t care how Lu Gui treated herself. After all, she never considered him to be a real brother.

“Okay, I’ll give you a piece of cake. If you ever hurt mom again, I will truly cut you off.”

Since they were close to the Xie Village now, Lu Jiao took out a piece of red bean cake and gave it to Lu Gui. So thankful, Lu Gui almost kelt down. Ahh, red bean cake was just so delicious.

The three of them walked all the way back to the Xie Village.

Before she reached home, she saw a crowd in front of her yard.

Her face changed color instantly and she subconsciously formed fists.

Could it be that someone came over again to bully Xie Yunjin and the four babies?

If that were the case, she won’t be so forgiving today.

Lu Jiao’s face was dark. Beside her, Lady Tian also noticed the group of people by Lu Jiao’s house.

Along with Lu Jiao, Lady Tian rushed towards the gate.

The moment the three of them got up there, someone noticed Lu Jiao and updated her.

“Yunjin’s wife, you have guests visiting. They appear to be very honorable guests, as they came on a horse carriage.”

The Xie villagers were poor so it was already a luxury to get a ride on the ox cart. Visitors who come in on a horse carriage always end up being a spectacle.

Lu Jiao sighed in relief. It was okay as long as they weren’t here to take advantage of Xie Yunjin and the four little ones.

Lu Jiao didn’t have time to check out the horse carriage. She led Lady Tian and Lu Gui into the garden.

The Xie Villagers gossiped loudly. Someone from the crowd said, “I think they’re Yunjin’s classmates.”

“They brought so much stuff. I saw food and textile.”

“Yunjin’s mother and sisters all came as well.”

“They must be getting ideas. They shunned out their son and now they’re here after seeing visitors with gifts.”

When these people saw Lu Jiao, they shouted at her, “Yunjin’s wife, hurry and go inside.”

Lu Jiao nodded at everyone as a way to greet them. She then brought Lady Tian and Lu Gui inside.

There was a pile of items on the ground.

Inside the east bedroom, Lady Ruan’s sullen voice could be heard, “Thank you so much for visiting my third son. To have you as his classmates made his study journey worth it.”

She then started to sob as if she was really sad.

Right after that, Xie Lan’s voice arose, “Yeah, after my third brother got injured, my mother couldn’t sleep well and could barely eat. She’s lost weight.”

Outside the room, Lady Tian exploded. Unable to contain herself, she busted inside and unloaded her anger on Lady Ruan.

“You old hag, how shameless are you? You moved out your injured son and now you’re playing the victim? Where do you get the audacity?

Look around this home, there’s absolutely nothing here! How can you talk like this?!”

Inside the east bedroom, the four little ones saw Lu Jiao and excitedly dashed over. The Fourth Born hugged onto Lu Jiao’s leg, “Mommy, you’re back!”

His heart-shaped eyes blinked with much joy.

The Second and Third Born were also smiling. Though the First Born didn’t express much, the relief in his eyes was hard to hide.

Lu Jiao patted the four little ones’ heads and then went to greet the visitors.

There were four young men here today, all around the same age as Xie Yunjin. One wore a robe made of brocade, and his hair was neatly brushed back. It was obvious that this was the young master of a wealthy family. The other three looked rather common. However, without exceptions, they all carried a studious and educated demeanor with them.

When the visitors saw Lu Jiao, they were taken aback. Given how outstanding Xie Yunjin was, they expected his wife to be extraordinary. Who knew she turned out to be a chubby woman.

The four of them showed signs of sympathy. However, very quickly, they politely stood up to greet Lu Jiao.

“Yunjin’s wife.”

Lu Jiao nodded and greeted back calmly, “Thank you, young masters, for visiting my husband.”

The four of them were surprised at how confident she appeared. If it weren’t for her appearance, they would’ve believed her to be a young lady of a good family.

Lu Jiao ignored them and looked over at Xie Yunjin.

She saw that Xie Yunjin looked annoyed and the air around him was cold.

Lu Jiao asked him, “Are you okay?”

Xie Yunjin’s face relaxed a little and he waved at Lady Tian, “Mother-in-law, you are here.”

Lady Tian nodded. On the other side of the room, Lady Ruan’s face appeared rather ugly. With fury resting in the corner of her eyes, she glared at Lu Jiao and Lady Tian.

She only came to pick up things after she heard that Lu Jiao left home today.

She thought that she could take the gifts Xie Yunjin’s classmates brought and use them for Yunhua and Xie Lan’s dowry.

She didn’t expect Lu Jiao to come back so quickly. It didn’t matter though. Her being here wasn’t going to stop Lady Ruan from taking the stuff. If Lu Jiao dared to object, she would teach her a lesson.

Lady Ruan frowned deeply as gloom clouded her.
