When she was tired from smashing all she could get her hands on, Lu Mingzhu sat next to Madam Liu and pestered her. “Mother, tell Father. Tell Father. I don’t want to be a concubine’s daughter. I want to be a legitimate daughter. Father likes you so much. If you bring it up, he will definitely agree.”

Madam Liu looked at Lu Mingzhu with a tense expression. The anger in her chest was about to shoot out of her throat. She gritted her teeth and gripped Lu Mingzhu’s shoulder. She said coldly, “Old Madam is clearly forcing your father. If I don’t back down now, your father will only despise me. At that time, would there still be a place for us in this family?”

Lu Mingzhu could not believe it. “How is this possible…”

“If your father doesn’t compromise, that would be seen as forcing the Old Madam to become a nun. It will be a crime of being unfilial. He might even lose his career as such.” At this point, Madam Liu lowered her voice and leaned closer to Lu Mingzhu. “Do you really want that to happen? For us to end up with nothing after working for it for so many years?”

Madam Liu’s low and cold voice pierced into Lu Mingzhu’s heart like an icicle. Her raging emotions were instantly silenced by the cold.

Although the Lu family was not rich, her father was a magistrate, and that would make her the daughter of an official.

If her father stepped down from being an official, she would be an ordinary person and would not be able to live a luxurious life.

She didn’t want to live a hard life.

Lu Mingzhu was rendered speechless at this thought.

When Madam Liu saw that Lu Mingzhu had quieted down, she tucked a strand of loose hair behind her ear. “Although I had taken a step back, your father is filled with guilt towards us. With your father’s love and guilt, the management power of the Lu family will firmly fall into my hands. Even if you are not considered a legitimate daughter, I will still give you the best.”

Lu Mingzhu snorted. If her mother could become Mrs. Lu, not only would she be given the best, but her status would also become more noble. It was all that damn old woman’s fault.

“The Old Madam has never liked us since we entered the manor. Now, she has become a stumbling block. She’s so old, and yet she still likes to poke her nose into this and that. Why doesn’t she just die?” Lu Mingzhu scolded hatefully.

Madam Liu patted Lu Mingzhu’s hand comfortingly. The furious Lu Mingzhu didn’t notice the viciousness and killing intent hidden in Madam Liu’s eyes.

Mingzhu was right. If the old woman died, no one could stop the Master from making her his wife anymore.

When she obtained the management power of the family, she would kill her first.

Lu Xiang laid lazily in the courtyard, covering her forehead with one hand as she looked at the setting sun on the horizon. Large patches of clouds covered the sky like fire spots. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

“Sigh, it’s so tasteless in my mouth. I really want to eat meat.”

No matter how delicious the vegetarian food was, she was tired of it after eating it for a few days.

In her previous life, Lu Xiang would not think that vegetarian food was boring. However, after going through imprisonment in her previous life, Lu Xiang had a demonic obsession with delicious food, especially meat.

“Miss, Miss…” Yun Zhe panted as she ran.

Lu Xiang answered weakly, “Yes…”

“I saw it.”

Lu Xiang asked, “What did you see?”

“Little monk.” Yun Zhe bent down and panted a few times before continuing. “I saw two little monks burying a rabbit at the back of the mountain and had even chanted scriptures to help it cross over in the netherworld. Miss, how did you come to know about such a strange thing?”

Could this girl finish her sentence in one go?

Lu Xiang’s body shook, and she immediately stood up from the recliner chair. Her eyes emitted green light like a hungry wolf. “Your Missy knows how to predict the future. Quick, bring the lighter and call Wu Yue to follow me.”

God had heard her thoughts so quickly. He was indeed better to her than her biological father was to her.

Yun Zhe: “…”

Lu Xiang quickly returned to her room to get a paper bag. When she came out, she saw that Yun Zhe was still standing where she was before. “What are you waiting for? Go get Wu Yue.” she urged.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Yue walked into the courtyard with a food box. “Old Madam said that she wants to discuss Zen with the Abbot and ask Miss to proceed with dinner alone… Was Miss looking for me earlier?”

There’s going to be meat, so why would she eat vegetarian food?

That’s right, the little rabbit that was buried by the small monks and was crossed over to the netherworld with scriptures, was about to become her dinner.

It was not that she was good at prediction, but she had seen it when she lived in Hua’an Temple in her previous life. Not only did the little monks bury rabbits, they would do the same for all living creatures that died in the back of the mountain. They would bury them all the same in the soil and chant scriptures to help them cross over.

The confused Yun Zhe and Wu Yue were dragged to the back of the mountain by Lu Xiang.

“Why is Miss heading for the mountain?” Wu Yue asked.

Yun Zhe shook her head, expressing that she too was also very confused. “Miss asked me to go to the back of the mountain to take a look when I’m free these few days. When I see a small monk, I should come back and inform her about it. Oh right, the main point is to see if they will chant scriptures there.”

I’m asking you if you’re a weirdo.

Wu Yue widened her eyes, feeling that her brain was not working.

However, the two of them soon understood Lu Xiang’s purpose and even saw her “savageness” for themselves.

After Yun Zhe pointed out the place where the monks had buried the rabbit, Lu Xiang quickly dug out the rabbit and ran to the stream nearby. She took out a dagger from her boot and skinned it without blinking.

Yun Zhe: “…”

Wu Yue: “…”

Blargh!!!

The poor maids were so frightened by Lu Xiang’s brutal behavior that they were like two little white flowers ravaged by the strong wind. They shivered while huddling together.

This Hua’an Temple was poisonous; it should return to them their young and innocent Miss!

Lu Xiang felt the silence behind her. She turned around and saw her two personal maids’ expressions. They were pale as if they had seen a ghost. The corners of her mouth twitched.

“Stop daydreaming and light the firewood.”

“Oh… okay…” Yun Zhe and Wu Yue replied in a daze. They hurriedly picked firewood and lit a fire.

In less than 10 minutes, Lu Xiang cleaned the rabbit. She took a tree branch and skewered it from head to toe before roasting it over the fire.

Night descended and the land around them was colored gray. There was silence except for the crackling of the fire in front of them, accompanied by the scent of meat.

Yun Zhe looked at the rabbit in front of her with oil bubbling on the skin. She swallowed her saliva and struggled to speak. “Miss, we are on temple grounds. It’s not good for us to eat meat here, right?” The rabbit meat was really fragrant though.

“Right. Buddha will blame us.” Wu Yue nodded in agreement.

The process of killing the rabbit was brutal, but the roasted rabbit looked delicious.

“Buddha is very busy. He doesn’t have the time to care where we eat meat.” As Lu Xiang spoke, she took out a paper bag from her pocket and scattered the salt and pepper in it onto the rabbit. Instantly, the fragrance became stronger. She turned over and looked at the two people in front of her whose eyes were glued to the rabbit. “Wine and meat pass through the intestines all the same, but we honor Buddha in our hearts. For the unfortunate rabbit that died early, my stomach would be the best resting place for it. Buddha will understand. Come, eat the legs.”

That’s so shameless.

However, although the two of them were complaining in their hearts, their hands did not stop at all.

Lu Xiang smiled sweetly as she saw Yun Zhe and Wu Yue eating the rabbit with satisfaction. Then, the rest of the rabbit went into her stomach.

Fortunately, they were on the same side. Otherwise, she wouldn’t even share a single hair of the rabbit.
