Lu Xiang’s heart was filled with unwillingness. Why should she kneel down to Lu Qingyun? This was absolutely impossible!
Lu Yan’s expression was calm. After a moment of silence, he said indifferently, “Aunt, she’s already a dead person. So what if we kneel down to her? So what if we offer incense?”
“But Lu Qingyun…”
Before Lu Xiang could finish, Lu Yan waved his hand and interrupted her. “You’re the daughter of the Lu family now. You’re the madam of the Lu family, while she doesn’t even have a corpse. So what if we put her memorial tablet in the ancestral hall? It’s just a piece of wood. It’s meaningless! Only the living are the winners. She has long disappeared from this world.”
Lu Yan said casually, “Those who achieve great things don’t care about small matters. If you can’t even accept this small grievance, how can you manage the Lu family in the future? Our Lu family is a long-standing family. Even if we hate Lu Qingyun, we can’t throw her memorial tablet out, lest others use this against us.”
Hearing Lu Yan’s words, Lu Xiang’s expression softened a little. She had to admit that Lu Yan’s words made sense. Lu Qingyun had been dead for so many years. What was placed in the ancestral hall now was just a piece of wood. She was the final winner!
Lu Xiang glanced around and confirmed that what she had just said was not recorded. They were just too sensitive. Her tone softened. “That’s right. So what if we put Lu Qingyun’s memorial tablet in the ancestral hall? She was hated by the Lu family when she was alive. She’s only qualified to enter the ancestral hall after she died. How laughable!”
The corners of Lu Yan’s mouth curled up as a trace of viciousness appeared in his eyes.
…
Longwan Residential.
Qiao Xi leaned against the bed and quietly listened to the news from Ji Nan. “Eldest Miss, it’s done.”
She nodded in satisfaction. “That servant from the Lu family is one of yours?”
Hearing her question, Ji Nan instantly choked and was a little hesitant. “No, no…”
Qiao Xi hurriedly straightened up, and her gaze was slightly surprised. She almost bit her tongue. “What? She’s not one of yours?”
Even Lu Yan sensed that the servant was deliberately angering Lu Xiang and making her say those words in public. Of course, Qiao Xi also realized that something was wrong. The servant clearly knew that Ji Nan was recording, so she deliberately led Lu Xiang to say those words.
If that servant was not Ji Nan’s subordinate, who was she?
Hearing Qiao Xi’s surprised voice, Ji Nan cleared his throat and said, “Eldest Miss, actually, I don’t know what’s going on either. I originally planned to anger Lu Xiang myself, but I didn’t expect that the servant would beat me to it just as I was about to enter. Immediately after, Lu Yan even ordered people to search the servants there, but they didn’t find anything.”
Qiao Xi held her chin and pondered for a few seconds before a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
On the other end of the phone, Ji Nan added, “The ancestral hall was surrounded by Lu Yan’s people. The servant angered Lu Xiang to say those words, but she didn’t record it. Moreover, I don’t know her. Perhaps the servant couldn’t stand Lu Xiang’s actions and casually said a few words.”
Casually?
Qiao Xi did not think that the servant’s words were casual. Every word was clearly meant to infuriate Lu Xiang. If she were really an ordinary servant, she would have taken out the ancestral tablet the moment Lu Xiang got angry. However, she revealed Lu Xiang’s true colors with just a few words. Coincidentally, Ji Nan was outside the door at that moment, recording the scene.
The servant seemed to have predicted that Ji Nan would come and was already prepared. She did not have any recording equipment on her, but everything she did was to help Ji Nan record the conversation. Even so, Ji Nan said that the servant was not one of his people.
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows as a trace of interest flashed past her eyes. “Have you found out the identity of that servant?”
Ji Nan was silent for a few seconds before he said in a subtle tone, “Eldest Miss, I’ve already investigated, but this servant is just an ordinary person. Her family background is average. When she heard that the Lu family paid a high salary, she applied to become their servant. She’s been here for a few years. Nothing has gone wrong during this period of time. It’s because Lu Yan didn’t find anything that he can’t look for trouble with this servant.”
Qiao Xi’s eyes narrowed slightly. It was indeed too much of a coincidence. The servant’s appearance and every word she said seemed to have been carefully planned.
After a while, Ji Nan said mysteriously, “Eldest Miss, I think there’s another group of people in the Lu family. They’re very mysterious. They seem to be spies planted in the Lu family.”
Qiao Xi’s tone was indifferent. “Oh.”
“This group of people is very capable. They’re clearly using us to scheme against Lu Xiang and Lu Yan. After the truth is exposed, their hands will be clean of the matter and everything will be pushed to us!” Ji Nan sighed.
