Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 145: Adding Makeup (2)

Zhao Yu opened her mouth and stabbed Meng Yunluo’s heart and lungs.

Meng Yunluo turned pale with anger: “Zhao Yu! What did you mean? Just say it again if you have the guts!”

The word fear did not exist in Zhao Yu’s dictionary.

“Sure enough, she said it again, ‘Why should I be afraid to say it? Your fiancé is thinking about other women, so you should find a way to make sure he only has you in his eyes. Coming to look for Fourth Lu on her adding makeup day, only you can create such trouble. I feel embarrassed for you.”

Meng Yunluo couldn’t bear it anymore and rushed forward to tear Zhao Yu’s face off.

Zhao Yu was also the daughter of a general, her skills may be mediocre and she had been trained.

As soon as Meng Yunluo rushed towards her, Zhao Yu immediately dodged away. Meng Yunluo wanted to rush forward again, but the maids waiting on the side had already rushed over, each blocking their master.

“Miss, calm down,” Meng Yunluo’s personal maid Zhilian stopped her master firmly: “This is in the Lu Mansion, Miss, don’t be impulsive!”

The key was that Fifth Miss Zhao across the way was not someone to be trifled with.

The Marquis of Puyang was short-tempered, and the Empress Dowager Zhao in the palace was even more partial. If there were people that Meng Yunluo could not afford to offend, Zhao Yu was definitely one of them.

Meng Yunluo had sparks in her eyes: “Get away!”

Zhilian was grabbed by her master, her face was scratched, and she didn’t dare to move away.

Zhao Yu’s personal maid, Wanxiu, also tried to persuade her: “Miss, please don’t be impulsive. If such a trivial matter were to be spread out, it would be really shameful.”

Zhao Yu was not willing to do anything to her personal maid, but, she didn’t stop talking: “Just do it, I’m afraid she won’t do it!”

“I thought I was unreasonable, but today was truly an eye-opener. I actually encountered someone more unreasonable than me. Step aside and let her come over. I want to see if she dares to lay a hand on me at the Lu family!”

Meng Yunluo: “…”

Meng Yunluo’s anger, which had subsided, was stirred up again by Zhao Yu’s call.

Meng Yunluo stretched out her hand and pushed Zhilian to stagger a few steps.

Zhilian was also unlucky. She accidentally stepped on a stone, and the sole of her foot got hurt and she fell to the ground. Her forehead was cut and her face was bleeding.

Meng Yunluo was also shocked.

After all, it was the maid who had been serving her since she was a child who fell like this. As the master, she couldn’t ignore her.

Meng Yunluo felt quite regretful, and immediately took out her handkerchief to cover Zhilian’s forehead, and hurriedly ordered the other maids: “Go and tell the Lu family to invite a doctor.”

Zhilian was knocked on the forehead. The skin was broken and there was a lot of blood. The blood on her face looked quite scary, but it was actually a skin injury, not serious. After the doctor came, he applied medicine to the wound and prescribed medicine, and everything was fine.

Lu Mingyu was the protagonist of today’s makeup-adding day, and her identity was indistinguishable.

Shen Lan came over and made sure that Zhilian was fine, so she felt relieved.

Looking at Meng Yunluo who was sitting aside and looking a little uncomfortable, Shen Lan snorted: “Thank you for being able to do this to your own maid.”

Meng Yunluo also felt a little guilty in her heart, so she insisted on speaking harshly: “My own maid, whether I want her to be beaten or scolded, it all depends on my will, what does it have to do with you.”

Shen Lan did not get angry but only glanced at Meng Yunluo.

Meng Yunluo was so angry today. What was the reason for it? Shen Lan knew it without guessing.

Jealousy can really make a woman look hideous.

“What do you think I’m doing?” Meng Yunluo looked at her with a sharp look.

Shen Lan said lightly: “I want to see how hateful a jealous woman is.”

Meng Yunluo: “…”

Before Meng Yunluo could turn her back, Shen Lan greeted Zhao Yu and left. Meng Yunluo was sulking and had nowhere to go, so she slapped the table hard.

Ouch!

Why was this damn table so hard!

This episode did not affect Lu Mingyu.

Whether Meng Yunluo was jealous or not was her business and it had nothing to do with her.

People came to add makeup one after another. Lu Mingyu patiently dealt with them one by one.

After a while, Qiao Wan and Jin Can’er also came.

Qiao Wan didn’t appear in public for about half a year. As soon as she appeared today, she immediately attracted the attention of all the girls. There was concern and consideration in those eyes, but some were just waiting to see a good show.

Empress Qiao had always liked Qiao Wan and often summoned Qiao Wan to the palace in the past. In everyone’s eyes, it was a certainty that Qiao Wan would become the Second Prince’s main wife.

Unexpectedly, with an imperial edict granting marriage, Lu Mingyu would become the future Second Prince consort.

Qiao Wan became a joke in everyone’s eyes.

Qiao Wan fell ill and later got engaged to the Second Young Master Fang. The wedding was in April this year. Even if Qiao Wan didn’t come to add makeup today, she could still use the excuse of “embroidering wedding gown” as an excuse.

But Qiao Wan just came.

Not only did she come, but she also gave her a generous gift, which was a pair of emerald green jade bracelets of excellent quality.

Qiao Wanqing had lost a lot of weight, and her face did not have the shyness of a girl to be married. The makeup concealed the paleness after the illness, and the smile was dignified and decent: “There are still ten days left for the wedding day between you and Second Prince. Today, as a gift, I will give you a pair of jade bracelets. I hope you stay safe and prosperous and have a happy life.”

Look at Qiao Wan, how dignified and majestic she was.

Thinking about what happened just now with the make-up gift given by Meng Yunluo, one had to sigh with emotion. The Qiao family was indeed a well-known scholarly family, and the daughter they raised was outstanding.

That’s right, the wedding had been decided. No matter how sad you are, it was a private matter and should never be shown on your face. Otherwise, it would definitely not be Lu Mingyu who is left embarrassed.

Lu Mingyu looked at Qiao Wan: “Thank you, Sister Qiao.”

A person as infatuated as Qiao Wan will only make people feel pity and sigh, and will never make anyone feel disgusted or unhappy at all.

Qiao Wan smiled slightly and didn’t say anything more.

Jin Can’er stepped forward and gave her a gift, which was ten pieces of brightly colored brocade.

This gift was neither light nor heavy, and it makes sense.

Lu Mingyu thanked her and said with a casual smile: “I thought you wouldn’t come today, but I didn’t expect that not only did you come, but you also gave me such a generous gift.”

Jin Can’er and Lu Mingyu were not in the same league, and everyone present knew that. Hearing this, everyone covered their mouths and laughed.

Jin Can’er pouted: “Don’t be too moved. The main reason is that I am bored at home every day, and so needed an excuse to go out for a walk. So I came here to add something to your makeup.”

In any case, don’t expect to hear anything pleasant or agreeable from Jin Can’er’s mouth.

However, Jin Can’er just had a bad mouth, but didn’t have a bad heart, and couldn’t do anything too outrageous.

Luo Mingyu smiled for a moment, and for once, she didn’t retort.

Jin Can’er, on the other hand, didn’t receive a few words of criticism. She was not used to it. She opened her mouth and said again: “When you add makeup gifts for me, you should give a generous gift in return.”

Lu Mingyu smiled and hummed: “I know. Whatever you like, don’t worry, the makeup gift I will give you will definitely suit your liking.”

Shen Lan smiled and joked: “Oh? What does Sister Jin like?”

Lu Mingyu smiled leisurely: “You still have to ask? Think about Sister Jin What’s your last name?”

Everyone thought and suddenly laughed.
