I've been bullied and humiliated for thirteen years; when I wake up, I'll be bloodthirsty.

Chapter 241 Let's get out of here quickly!

"girl……"

Granny Shen looked at Lu Yangyang with heartache.

Sheng Yun stomped her foot in a huff: "No, we can't let her talk such nonsense. Come on, let's confront her. I'll be your witness. I don't believe we can't do anything to her!"

The truth is sometimes important.

But sometimes, it's not that important.

"What's the point of proving it? She says it was me, so that's fine. I can't let her be wronged for nothing." Lu Yangyang stood up. "Let's go."

Sheng Yunjiao followed after him, filled with righteous indignation.

Granny Shen hurriedly followed.

But when she reached the courtyard gate, Lu Yangyang stopped again: "Granny Shen, hurry up and put away my valuables. If there's nowhere to hide them, just call out and ask the guards next door to help you throw them into the courtyard next door. Make sure nothing is missing."

Granny Shen was stunned, not quite understanding what Lu Yangyang meant.

Lu Yangyang didn't explain much, and pulled Sheng Yunjiao outside.

"Yangyang..." Sheng Yunjiao wanted to ask her what she was packing for, but then she saw that the people sent by the Duke of Sheng to invite Lu Yangyang had arrived, so she had to shut her mouth for the time being.

“Miss, the Duke requests that you come with us,” the leading guard said.

Lu Yangyang nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Then he pulled Sheng Yunjiao along and followed.

The guards were somewhat surprised, but Lu Yangyang's cooperation saved them trouble.

Soon they arrived at the courtyard where the ceremony was to be held. When they arrived, the ceremony was just about to begin with the hairpin-adding. Sheng Yunzhu knelt on the ground respectfully and upright. A maidservant presented her with a hairpin that had been prepared in advance. The matriarch of the Xiao family, who was the honored guest of the day, then put the hairpin into Sheng Yunzhu's hair.

Sheng Yunzhu was currently facing the crowd. Lu Yangyang led Sheng Yunjiao into the courtyard, followed by several guards. They didn't seem to be there to confess their crimes, but rather to interrogate her.

When Sheng Yunzhu saw her, her spine stiffened instinctively.

Lu Yangyang didn't care how many people were there or what they were doing. She opened her mouth and said "Oh" to Sheng Yunzhu, "What big day is it today? You knelt down as soon as I arrived. What, do you know how shameless you are, spouting slanderous words without thinking, so you knelt down to apologize to me?"

Lu Yangyang's voice was loud enough to ensure that everyone present could hear her clearly.

Those present were either from prominent families in the capital or newly emerging powerful figures. Even the most unruly people would never do something like Lu Yangyang, spouting nonsense in such a serious and solemn setting. This was clearly... disruptive.

Everyone stared at Lu Yangyang in disbelief, finding it hard to believe that a country doctor like Lu Yangyang, a distant relative of the Lan family, would dare to deliberately cause trouble at the coming-of-age ceremony of the eldest daughter of the Duke of Sheng's mansion!

Could it be that what Sheng Yunzhu said just now was all true?

Is Lu Yangyang really so arrogant and domineering that she dares to bully even the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Sheng's mansion so casually?

"Lu Yangyang! How dare you!" Old Madam Li's face turned green with anger, and her eyelids twitched violently. It wasn't that she didn't want to stand up for Sheng Yunzhu, but Lu Yangyang was the real scoundrel. With Lu Yangyang's fearless nature, what else could she do besides making the Duke's Mansion even more disgraced?

Why summon this troublemaker on such a perfectly good day? Isn't there enough chaos already?

Just moments before, Madam Li was thinking of standing up for Sheng Yunzhu, but upon seeing Lu Yangyang, she instinctively panicked and only wanted to get her away as quickly as possible. She spoke in a low, menacing voice...

"What are you all standing there for? Pull her away! Can't you see what's going on?"

The Duke of Sheng's face was also very ugly.

He sent someone to invite Lu Yangyang over, but he didn't expect her to arrive so quickly. The ceremony was not yet completed, and if it was interrupted at this time, where would the Duke's mansion put its face?

“Grandmother, that’s not right. I’m also a daughter of the Duke’s mansion, and so is Yangyang. Are you saying that neither Yangyang nor I can attend Sheng Yunzhu’s coming-of-age ceremony? Does any family in our Great Zhao Kingdom have such a rule?” Sheng Yunjiao asked innocently.

Sheng Yunjiao is the fourth daughter of the Duke of Sheng's mansion. Although she is from the second branch of the family, the Duke of Sheng's mansion has not split up, so she is also the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Sheng's mansion. Since the coming-of-age ceremony, how could one not allow one's own sisters to participate?

Her words caused everyone's expressions to turn strange.

"What Miss Sheng said is right. She is also a daughter of the Duke's mansion. It is only right that she stays, isn't it?"

"The old lady Li wasn't talking about her, was she? Was she talking about Miss Lu?"

"That's even stranger. Why is this Fourth Miss Sheng helping an outsider instead of her own sisters?"

"Didn't you hear her say that Miss Lu is also a daughter of the Duke's family? Miss Lu is so arrogant, could there really be some hidden reason?"

"Oh my, today's coming-of-age ceremony for the Third Miss Sheng is quite a lively affair."

Everyone was immediately intrigued.

Madam Li was so angry that her heart ached. She was clearly targeting Lu Yangyang, and Sheng Yunjiao was such an unlucky child. Why did she jump out and cause trouble again?

Madam Li looked around and glared at the second wife hiding in the back.

The second wife pretended not to see it.

Madam Li was even angrier, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Since you're here, please take a seat and don't delay the ceremony."

But no sooner had she finished speaking than the old lady of the Xiao family, who was about to put a hairpin in Sheng Yunzhu's hair, spoke up: "This is the first time I've ever seen such an ill-mannered girl. I've heard that Miss Lu comes from the countryside, but that doesn't matter. Now that you've come to the capital and entered a prestigious family, you should abide by etiquette and not act willfully. The Duke of Sheng's mansion kindly took you in, is this how you repay them?"

The matriarch of the Xiao family is the mother of the current Imperial Consort Xiao and the maternal grandmother of the Third Prince. With the Third Prince's rising status in the past two years, the Xiao family has become one of the most prominent families in the capital, and everyone tries to curry favor with them. The matriarch of the Xiao family is also highly respected and rarely leaves her home.

As soon as she said that, the crowd below immediately echoed her sentiments, and in an instant, they all turned their anger towards Lu Yangyang, saying, "That's right, she doesn't know any manners at all, no wonder she's from the countryside."

"She has no manners at all. It seems that what Cheng Er said last time was not wrong at all. She is a woman who will bring misfortune to her father and mother and have no offspring."

"That's right. What kind of upbringing can an orphan girl without parents have? She's just staying at the Duke of Sheng's mansion and she dares to be so arrogant. Who gave her the nerve? I think she's just jealous of the Third Miss Sheng, which is why she ruined her dress. She's really wicked."

"Exactly! What kind of parents could raise such a wild girl? She's a disgrace! What's the point of keeping her? We should just kick her out!"

"Yes, it's better to send them away as soon as possible, so they don't ruin their own daughter's reputation!"

"Get them out of here quickly!"
