Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass - Chapter 247

Chapter 247: The Third Crock of Gold 3

After that, she walked out, taking big steps.

Pei Fengtang had not wanted to stay for too long, and he was afraid that something might happen, so he bowed to Old Man Jiang, bidding him goodbye.

“Master Jiang, I feel a bit unwell, so I’ll take my leave now.”

Old Man Jiang had not managed to react when Heir Pei followed after the young girl clad in a red fur coat and left.

Lu Yan did not stay for long too, leaving after them.

When the two parties left, everyone in the main hall looked at one another, feeling dumbfounded.

They had nothing to say,

Qi Qingyao, who had gotten on the carriage that was heading back home, was in an extremely good mood.

Heir Pei looked at her expression of glee, feeling happy and serious at the same time. He said, “You were very lucky.”

“I was very capable,” Qi Qingyao corrected.

Seeing her uncaring attitude, Pei Fengtang could not help but ask, “Have you thought about what would happen if your arrow didn’t land on the bull’s eye?”

“I haven’t.”

“You have to think about it, now.” She made bets without reservations. Did she not care at the slightest how everything would turn out if she had lost?

“If I didn’t manage to, I’ll sleep with Lu Yan once. It’s what I promised him, isn’t it?” Qi Qingyao said uncaringly.

Pei Fengtang, “…”

Why could a woman say that with such brazenness?

How frustrating.

On the black carriage not far behind from them, Dong Jing accompanied Lu Yan as their driver drove the carriage. Dong Jing sat beside the door. He did not even dare to breathe, and he was extremely nervous, afraid that his master would suddenly throw himself out of the carriage out of fury…

After a while, Lu Yan was still silent, the cat in his arms. He looked stoic. Dong Jing could not figure out what he was thinking.

“Master.” Dong Jing took the initiative to break the silence. “Are we going to give her the house by the Eighth Street in the east area?”

“Mm.” Lu Yan nodded expressionlessly.

“But…” The elongated syllable showed his hesitation.

“We lost. We can’t go back on our promise.” The tone was as bland as ever. Dong Jing could not detect any kind of emotion.

“…” Dong Jing could not bring himself to say anything more.

After a pause, he said, “If your father hears about this, he’ll definitely punish you.”

“It’s only a house that I don’t live in often.” Lu Yan looked down at the cat in his arms. His expression was so serious that Dong Jing could not figure out if he was happy or sad.

This worried Dong Jing terribly. He felt like his master would be furious. He should be very angry, as Qi Qingyao had called him Young Mistress Lu time after time. However, his master was so quiet now, like nothing had happened to him. This was so strange. He could only reassure him, “Master, don’t think too much about what she said.”

“Yes.” He nodded, calm and unruffled.

Dong Jing, “…”

Was his master still holding everything in?

…

Many noble guests visited the Jiang residence today, and so the servants were terribly busy. All the male servants were sent to the front hall to wait for orders that might come at any time, and most of the female servants were sent to the kitchens at the back.

Qi Qingzhu was among them.

She sat outside the kitchens, removing the inedible parts of some Chinese chives. After that, she was sent to wash the dishes. The water was extremely cold, and her hands were so cold they became red and swollen, looking like radishes.

Suddenly, a servant ran in from the front hall and yelled excitedly, “It’s so exciting at the front hall! I heard that a young girl started an argument with Young Master Lu!”

“Lu? Which Lu?”

“Which one do you think? The richest family in Northern Liang, that Lu!”

“Huh, who dares offend the richest family in Northern Liang? Does she not want to live any longer?”

“I don’t know. I heard that Heir Pei brought her here today. I think her name was Cuihua? She started an argument with Master Lu and then started a bet with him too! And then she won!”

“What did she win?”

“I heard them say that it’s that big mansion in Qingzhou City that belongs to the Lu family! That mansion that’s super grand and extravagant! The maid won…”

“Ah, she’s so lucky.”

The servants gathered together, gossiping as they washed dishes.

Qi Qingzhu sat beside them, listening in as she washed dishes. As she listened, she could not help thinking about her younger sister.

Mother said that Younger Sister had made a bet with Old Man Zhang and won his house and his farm plots…

At that thought, a gentle smile appeared on Qi Qingzhu’s face.

When she got time off and returned, she would steal the object of proof and deliver it to her sister’s hands! She would definitely believe in her identity then!
