Shengjing Noble

Chapter 219 Things are booming

Everyone was excited when they heard it.

"That's great! Now I wonder if those snobs dare to look down on us again!" Lu Wanjun breathed proudly and hugged Su Lanyin beside her and kissed her on the cheek.

"My dear daughter, you are truly the lucky star of our Lu family!"

Several brothers also echoed: "Yes, since Yinyin became sensible, our lives have been getting better day by day."

"Who says it's not true? Because of Yinyin, my legs can almost walk again. If it weren't for her, I don't dare to think whether I would still be alive in this world now."

"Me too. With Yinyin here, I can make up for my mistakes. I was so immature in the past. Now it's my turn to protect you!"

Looking at their family unity, Lu Yichen couldn't help but sigh: "As long as the whole family works together, won't life be prosperous?"

"Uncle is right, let's get in the car quickly and don't miss such a good show."

"Well, let's go! Let's go now!"

The luxurious carriage had guards in front and behind, and there were special servants responsible for clearing the way. These were all authorized by the emperor.

Walking along the long Hualong Street, people all stopped to watch, and some even ran out of their homes to join in the fun after hearing about it.

Soon, both sides of the street were crowded with people, and everyone was curious about who was sitting in such a luxurious carriage that was comparable to a dragon chariot.

Inside the car, Lu Wanjun lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out. When she saw so many people, she quickly put it down with an uneasy look on her face.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Su Lanyin asked with concern.

"We are being too high-profile. I feel weird."

"That's because you've been stepped on by Su Yongcheng for so many years that you've forgotten how confident you were back then."

Su Lanyin's words reminded Lu Wanjun of many unbearable past events.

Before she married Su Yongcheng, she had always been the daughter of the richest man in Quanzhou, admired by everyone. She was outspoken and enthusiastic, and never timid.

But ever since she married into a lower class, Su Yongcheng always belittled her in words and deeds, making her feel that she was unworthy of the position and should not continue to be so high-profile.

So she has been very low-key and introverted over the years, and even when it comes to clothes, she doesn't dare to wear bright colors, even if they are made of the best fabrics.

Eventually, she faded more and more into obscurity and became an unknown concubine in the Su family's mansion.

Su Yongcheng appears to be aloof and proud outside, but he never hides his generosity. The reason why he is praised is because he has always been generous, so when others take advantage of him, how can they not say a few good words about him?

But these people don’t know that behind Su Yongcheng’s glorious appearance, he relies entirely on Lu Wanjun’s gold and silver to support him.

Otherwise, he is a piece of trash from beginning to end. With that kind of character and that kind of mind, he can't even become a sixth-rank official.

He had offended too many people before. If it weren't for Lu Wanjun sending gifts behind his back to ease the situation, he wouldn't have gotten to where he is today!

But the Su family still believed that Su Yongcheng was a man of extraordinary talent who would eventually rise to great heights.

Today, she would let the Su family see how prosperous her, Lu Wanjun, life was after leaving the Su family!

Thinking of this, Lu Wanjun's face turned cold. She took a deep breath and then pulled open the car curtain.

The car windows are very large and you can clearly see the people sitting inside from the outside.

Half of the shops on this street are owned by Lu Wanjun. The merchants on the street have to pay rent every year. How could they not recognize their landlord?

So they all looked surprised.

"Isn't that Shopkeeper Lu? I heard a few days ago that the Lu family was in decline. How come he is sitting in such a luxurious carriage?"

"Yeah! Could it be that he's making a comeback? This is too fast!"

"You are stupid. It's obvious that the news from the past few days was all fake! How could the Lu family, which is so powerful, suddenly decline?"

"That's right. Look at this carriage. Even if it's for the royal family, it can't be more than this, right? It's too luxurious!"

"Yes, when our emperor ascended the throne, he had a parade in Shengjing, and the carriage he had was similar to this one!"

"Why should they, as merchants, ride in a carriage like this? This is extremely disrespectful!"

"No matter how rich you are, you shouldn't be so ostentatious, right? Isn't this courting death? If the emperor knew about this, I'm afraid they would all be in trouble!"

"They are the ones who died, we just have to watch the fun!"

……

The discussion among the crowd changed from surprise to sour remarks, and some people even secretly went to Jingzhao Yin to report it.

Su Lanyin knew that everyone wanted to see you feel lonely, but no one wanted to see you on a high pedestal.

Even if someone has nothing to do with you, he will feel jealous when he sees you succeeding.

In her previous life, her mother had always taught her to be low-key, to be restrained, and not to be envied or targeted by others.

So she didn't dare to show off her wealth or be ostentatious, and always behaved well. She even gradually began to admire Liu Ruyan's fake and indifferent personality.

But what happened in the end? What happened to her?

What kind of fate did Lu Wanjun suffer?

Few people in Shengjing knew that it was her mother who fought and planned for the Su family, and it was her mother who supported the entire Su family!

After Lu Wanjun's death, everyone only scolded her for being ungrateful. She had such a good husband from such a wealthy family, but she didn't cherish him and instead found a strange man. She deserved to die!

As for Su Lanyin, she was as low-key as her mother, silently devoting herself without asking for anything in return. Naturally, she was humiliated by such remarks after her death.

Why should she keep a low profile in this life?

She is rich, beautiful, well-connected and capable. She wants to let everyone in Shengjing know how well their family lives!

They must make Su Yongcheng's family live forever under the shadow of their Lu family, only then can they vent their anger!

……

In front of the Su Mansion.

Su Yongcheng and Liu Ruyan stood outside the door, smiling and welcoming the guests, but unfortunately, they were either poor relatives or had lower official positions than the Su family.

None of the connections that Lu Wanjun usually maintained came.

Su Yongcheng looked around and didn't see anyone he wanted to see, and he felt dissatisfied.

"What are you doing? Have you sent the invitations? Why didn't you come?"

He started to scold as soon as he opened his mouth, thinking that Liu Ruyan was not doing her job well, but he never thought that the real reason was his own bad character.

Liu Ruyan was also full of grievances, but the man in front of her was her husband, who always treated her with arrogance. How could she, a delicate wife, dare to refute him?

So he could only frown helplessly: "Master, I personally delivered the invitations to your door. These people may not come because they have other things to do..."

Su Yongcheng said angrily: "Even if one or two people are in trouble, are so many people in trouble? Today is a day off!"

Liu Ruyan was so angry that her face turned pale. She twisted her handkerchief back and forth with her hands and muttered softly.

"You can't blame me for this..."

"What are you mumbling about?" Su Yongcheng asked.

"No, nothing. Please wait here, sir. I will go in and greet other guests first."
