zChapter 1087 - Abandoned Without Being Used (1/2)
Lu Ping did not hold back, rejecting Lu Song and Ge Shi, the anger in her heart had already reached its peak when Lu Song husband and wife proposed to have her seduce the Sixth Prince, it was just that she did not know how to vent it.
A dull sound of thunder was suddenly heard in this afternoon which was entering summer, it did not rain and the air pressure was so low that people found it hard to breathe. Lu Ping stood up, pointing at Lu Song and Ge Shi, saying: “With both of you like this, Heaven will strike you with lightning one day. Think about those people who have died in the Lu family! Lu Yao as well as Lu Yan, even including Lu Cuo, if both of you were not reckless due to greed, how can they lose their life at such a young age? Don’t push the blame onto the children, with upright parents, children will be able to grow up well in a healthy environment, then they will not be led by both of you to lose their reason and be unable to differentiate between good and evil!”
She practically shouted these words, then turned around and ran. With rumbling thunder in the skies, she gritted her teeth and ran out of the manor gates, heading towards the streets.
Ge Shi became anxious and wanted to chase after all, but when she just stepped out of Flower Hall, a sharp bolt of lightning flashed over her head, then, a dull thunderous sound rumbled, just over her head. This caused her to think about what Lu Ping said ‘With both of you like this, Heaven will strike you with lightning one day!’ So Ge Shi retracted her foot, her body shivering, not daring to give chase.
Lu Song also became anxious with anger. Without caring what was placed on his work desk, he swept all of them on the floor, saying loudly: “Do not chase after her! Let me see what ability she has, and where she can run to! If she has the ability, then she can run away and not come back. If she comes back, even if I need to tie her up, I am going to send her to the Sixth Prince’s bed! That face of hers cannot go to waste! It cannot go to waste!”
Lu Song shouted angrily, close to going crazy. And at this moment, Lu Ping ran out into the streets despite the thunder. Not caring about the direction, she just ran like this, her maid who ran out with her also lost track of her. When she finally stopped, she was so tired that she felt like her lungs were going to explode. She did not have the ability to run another step and could only lean under a tree next to a street to rest.
This was the first time she “ran away from home”. Even though she knew that she could not run out of the capital, and had to return to that manor eventually, but Lu Ping, who had not gone out onto the streets for a long time felt that this experience was very rare. Being able to breathe in the air of the streets, it was a kind of luxury to her.
She raised her head and looked around her, not knowing where she had ran to. There were many shops, but because dull thunder was suddenly heard in the sky, everyone felt that it was going to rain soon, so there were very little people on the streets. The one or two people who were still there have also lowered their heads, hurrying home.
She saw that there was an embroidery shop not far ahead, and based on the people entering and leaving, it had some popularity. Therefore, she walked forward a few steps. Only then did she recognise that it was the one opened by Feng family’s Third Miss Feng Xiangrong. A lot of Madams and Young Misses came out from inside, and there was a female worker welcoming and seeing them off. They even gave everyone who did not have a horse carriage an umbrella lined with oil paper just in case they needed it.
At this moment, two Young Misses walked in her direction together with their maid. Lu Ping subconsciously hid behind the tree and lowered her head, not wanting to draw attention to herself, and at this time, she heard the two Young Misses heading towards her chatting to each other, one of them said: “Feng family’s Third Miss has such good fortune, Feng family had fallen this much, yet she isn’t affected at all, this business is growing better and better, not only is there a store in the capital, she even has one in Ji An Prefecture.”
“That’s right! I heard that her mother moved to Ji An Prefecture with her. After Feng Jinyuan died, that mother gained her freedom and is now a noble lady in Ji An Prefecture! But there is no point in being envious, she has such a good older sister after all? With Princess Yu’s protection, it will not be easy for her to live a hard life.”
“Both of them are younger sisters, but that Feng family’s Fourth Miss is very different, I heard that she does not interact with Princess Yu at all, and their relationship is bad.”
“So what? She has the Fifth Prince’s protection, so her days will not get that bad. But I still do envy the Third Miss, especially the fact that she can set up a home in Ji An Prefecture, it’s said that Ji An prefecture is a very special place, the rules there are completely different from other provinces in Da Shun, it is very fair and very free, it’s just like a new paradise, everyone yearns to go there.”
The two started talking about Ji An prefecture, Lu Ping could see the envy on their faces and when those two walked further away, she started to remember the information she heard about Ji An prefecture earlier, and started to yearn for it too. But what was the use of her yearning for it? As the daughter of the Lu family, would the Lu family allow her to live in another place? She did not have freedom in her life and running out like this was only getting fresh air, she still needed to return sooner or later. She could not escape from the palm of the Lu family, not in her life.
In the crystal side courtyard, Fendai hit Xiao Bao again. The child wailed but he did not run, still holding the corner of Fendai’s clothes tightly, staring straight at her. Fendai could not bear to give that one last slap, looking at that child and asking in confusion: “I’m hitting you like this, why aren’t you running? Why don’t you hide when you see me?” As she spoke, she rolled up that child’s sleeve, there was another bruise surfacing on his arm, it was due to her pinching him.
“You are my older sister.” Xiao Bao was not that fluent in speaking, and could only say simple words every time, but he could express the meaning clearly. He held on to the corner of Fendai’s clothes tightly, saying another sentence: “Don’t throw Xiao Bao away.”
Fendai’s tears welled up in an instant, and the prickling feeling in her nose could not be controlled anymore. She pulled that child into her arms, her tears pouring out, making Xiao Bao cry with her.
Dong Ying stood at the side, not stopping them, thinking that this would allow Feng Fendai to recover some of her conscience, build up a deep relationship with Fendai and avoid feeling unhappy because Xiao Bao’s resemblance to Feng Jinyuan increased as he grew up. Seeing this sister and brother hugging and crying, she was happy. She knew that the Fifth Prince felt that Feng Fendai’s conscience had not completely died out because Xiao Bao was still here. She did not know when this started, the relationship between Feng Fendai and the Fifth Prince had to be maintained by depending on this child?
