Chapter 013 Give Some Sweetness

"Miss, are you trying to threaten the third miss by saying that?" Mrs. Lu said, "Third Miss, I am here, you don't need to be afraid of anything. Just tell the truth, and I and the old lady will support you!"

Xue Qiandai still looked hesitant and reluctant to speak, occasionally stealing a glance at Qian Ge.

Qian Ge stood calmly on the side, letting her act, and giving Xue Qianwu a reassuring look.

If she didn't give Mrs. Lu and the others some benefits, how would they have the courage to do what comes next? How could the drama continue to unfold? In her past life, she misjudged people and fell into the trap set by this mother and daughter, causing her sister to lose her virtue and be married off in disgrace. In this life, if they dared to try it again, she would definitely not let them get away with it!

Seeing Xue Qiandai's hesitant appearance, the old lady couldn't help but feel a hint of suspicion. She glanced at Qian Ge and her voice turned cold, "Third Miss, what's the matter?"

Xue Qiandai twisted the handkerchief in her hand and hesitantly said, "Grandmother, it was me who lent the hairpin to the second sister."

"Third Miss!" Mrs. Lu called out.

"Mother, please don't ask," Xue Qiandai pleaded, "It's really me who lent the hairpin to the second sister, she didn't force me to say this, really!"

The more she said that, the more it made people feel like she was being coerced by the second miss. The old lady looked at Qian Ge, who was standing silently on the side, and snorted coldly, "I understand. Since it wasn't the second miss who stole it, this matter will be considered closed. No one is allowed to mention it again in the future, understood?"

"Yes, old lady," everyone responded in unison.

Xue Qiandai and Mrs. Lu exchanged a triumphant smile in secret. Although there were some twists and turns in the process, they ultimately succeeded in making the old lady dislike Qian Ge even more.

"I'm tired, help me back to Yixin Hall," the old lady said to Wang Mama, then turned to Mrs. Lu and admonished, "I'll leave the matters here to you. Be careful when assigning maidservants and servants to the two girls."

Mrs. Lu repeatedly assured, "Rest assured, old lady, I won't let those lazy servants in this time."

"Good," the old lady replied, then took Wang Mama's hand and stood up. "The second miss is injured, so don't send her out. The eldest miss and the third miss will accompany me for a while and chat."

"Yes, grandmother," Qian Wu and Qian Dai agreed.

Qian Ge respectfully said, "Granddaughter's injury is not a problem, I'll accompany grandmother."

The old lady looked at her unexpectedly, thinking that this second miss was indeed filial, and didn't show her displeasure. She nodded in agreement.

After the old lady left with Xue Qianwu and Xue Qiandai supporting her, Qian Ge and Mrs. Lu stopped at the door.

Seeing the old lady walk away, Mrs. Lu immediately resumed her usual arrogant demeanor and scolded Qian Ge, "You ungrateful wretch! I kindly arranged for someone to serve you, and you don't appreciate it. You even dared to slander me in front of the old lady. What are you up to?!"

In the past, no matter how she scolded Qian Wu and Qian Ge, as long as Xue Qiandai shed a few tears and acted pitiful, the two of them would endure it. So Mrs. Lu's scolding of them was always arbitrary and unrestrained.

Qian Ge looked at her with a sardonic smile, "Mrs. Lu, the old lady just admonished you. I advise you to behave yourself."

Mrs. Lu stared at her in disbelief, "What did you just call me?!"

Qian Ge raised an eyebrow, "I called you Mrs. Lu. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Mrs. Lu had risen to the position of a stepmother, while Qian Ge was the legitimate wife. So calling her Mrs. Lu was not wrong, but what she detested the most was being reminded of her previous status as a stepmother. Qian Ge was clearly slapping her in the face!
