Chapter 37 Waterwheel
Xu Qiuyue didn't plan to sell any of the fish raised in the fish pond, and planned to keep them all for herself.
Fish meat is mildly nutritious and will not make you fat. It also has a delicious taste without any fishy smell.
During this period, Xu Qiuyue ate well in the Lu Mansion, and her early health problems were gradually healed.
There isn't actually much to do in the Lu Mansion in a day.
Xu Qiuyue spends most of her time improving herself, practicing martial arts and farming to make a living.
Xu Qiuyue feels that every day is very fulfilling.
After Xu Qiuyue finished everything, she was about to take a shower and rest.
Hongling is a very perceptive girl. She takes the initiative to boil hot water for Xu Qiuyue every day so that she can take a bath.
There were two more maids around her. Although they were just spies, they were also really working.
Xu Qiuyue had less work to do every day and had more time to practice, and she was also happy to have some free time.
However, Chunzhu was obviously quite upset today.
She ran back quickly.
Share this news with Xu Qiuyue.
"Madam, the master actually brought that prostitute home and even arranged for her to stay in a separate courtyard. The master even wanted to punish the young master for that woman, and the young master was so angry that he ran away."
"That woman is so vicious. She ran away with someone secretly, but was sent back to ridicule the young master. The young master just sent her back to the brothel.
She actually lied with her eyes open, saying that she was a good girl who was forced by the young master. She didn't want to give in, so she ran away, but she met bad guys on the way and was sent back.
And then they said she had been humiliated in every way. Look at her, she is fair and tender, and the jewelry on her head is better than yours, young lady. She has not suffered any humiliation at all."
Chunzhu was somewhat indignant.
The main reason was that she had followed Xu Qiuyue before and had seen Liu Ping's arrogance.
She knew very well that Liu Ping's current look of grievance was all fake.
It was midnight when Lu's mother came back and learned the explosive news.
Today she waited for Lu's father in the yamen for a whole day, but Lu's father never came back. She was worried, so she wanted to come back to ask Lu Yuan.
Unexpectedly, nothing happened to Lu's father, and he even brought back the woman that Lu Yuan had driven away.
Originally, she wanted to teach Xu Qiuyue how to win a man's heart.
As a result, this kind of thing happened to her now.
She couldn't be as calm and composed as Xu Qiuyue at all.
A man and a woman alone were still in the study room late at night.
Zhu Rong and her men kicked open Lu Changqing's study.
Liu Ping was sitting in Lu Changqing's seat and drawing a picture.
Lu Changqing stared at the drawing without blinking.
Lu Changqing was very shocked. With this waterwheel, farming would be much simpler and easier for the common people.
Grain production can also be increased. In this way, the people will become wealthy and no longer need to borrow money to survive.
The problems of the people can be solved from the root.
Just like this time, Lu Yuan had a lawsuit with those farmers.
There were too many people borrowing money, and his salary was far from enough.
If I buy jewelry for Lu's mother again, she will definitely not agree.
He had tried his best to persuade the victims, who were almost starving to death, and only then did Lu's mother sell a few pieces of jewelry.
Lu Changqing knew very well that Lu Yuan's love of money was inherited from his mother. Unfortunately, Lu Yuan did not inherit any of his mother's other good qualities.
Lu Changqing was marveling at the invention of the waterwheel.
Then I heard a bang and the door opened.
Lu Changqing saw the dark face of Lu's mother.
He thought that Mother Lu was angry because he punished Lu Yuan, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that loving mothers often spoil their children. When he was a child, he wanted to teach Lu Yuan well, but every time he was secretly sent to her parents' home by Mother Lu.
"Lu Changqing, where are your gentlemanly manners? It's the dead of night, a man and a woman alone, you really can't blame Yuan'er for being like this, just look at yourself."
Mother Lu almost screamed out.
"Master Lu, Madam looks so scary!"
Liu Ping curled up in the chair like a kitten and spoke pitifully to Lu Changqing.
Looking at Liu Ping like this, Lu Changqing stood up and blocked Liu Ping's body, and said helplessly to Lu's mother: "Rong'er, Miss Liu is very talented. As long as this waterwheel can be made, the people of the world will suffer less. This is a major event that will benefit the entire Shengguo.
It is indeed inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room. It is a good opportunity for you to come and take a look. I will be waiting outside the door."
"Master Lu, the Madam is so fierce! I'm scared!"
"Miss Liu, Rong'er is kind-hearted. She will definitely help you after learning about your life story."
Lu Changqing seemed not to notice Liu Ping's pitiful appearance.
He took the initiative to pull the angry Mother Lu over.
When Mother Lu saw the drawing of the waterwheel, her anger had mostly subsided.
She knew that it must be this bitch who used this thing to hook up with Lu Changqing.
She is not Lu Changqing, who cannot see through Liu Ping's coquettish tactics.
The servants in the mansion told her the story with exaggeration.
She never liked this woman.
She bewitched Lu Yuan, making him spend a lot of money to redeem her, but she turned out to be still dishonest and hooked up with another man in the blink of an eye.
Lu Yuan lost all face.
Now there are rumors everywhere that Lu Yuan is not capable, otherwise, why would his woman run away with someone else.
How could Mother Lu not be angry when she heard such words?
But such a woman actually turned around and hooked up with Lu Changqing.
Mother Lu looked at Liu Ping with red eyes, and she suppressed the anger in her heart.
She didn't understand water wheels and didn't know what they were used for. She only knew that they were very useful to Father Lu.
She is not the kind of woman who is controlled by her emotions. Since this can benefit the people, she is willing to suffer a little grievance. Moreover, judging from Lu Changqing's behavior, he is not really interested in this woman.
Liu Ping sobbed quietly.
She felt that she was young and beautiful, and should be better than Lu's mother, a middle-aged woman.
But Lu Changqing was not moved by him.
This woman has such good skin, you can tell at a glance how much money she has spent on maintaining it.
He must be the villain.
Lu Yuan’s wife is a little villain.
If she marries Lu Yuan's father, she will be Lu Yuan's mother. Then Lu Yuan's so-called legal wife will be hers to control as she pleases.
Liu Ping thought of the novels he had read.
After breaking up with the ex, she turned around and married his father
"Becoming a bad boy's stepmother, teaching him the rules every day"
··········
She had taken the wrong path before, which led to such a bumpy road.
Now, she has found the right path in her life.
As long as she becomes Lu Yuan's stepmother, Lu Yuan and his wife will have to pay their respects to her every day.
And she also quite likes older types.
Lu Changqing is only 38 years old now, not too old, and is in the prime of his life.
