Lu Zhaoling glanced at Mrs. Lu casually.

"If you didn't take it, then report it to the police."

Mrs. Lu was furious. "Lu Zhaoling, are you sick? You want to report to the police just because you lost such a small thing?"

"Well, how do you know it's just this little thing?"

"Didn't you write it all down?" Mrs. Lu pointed angrily at the piece of paper on the ground.

"You saw it all clearly after just a quick glance?"

Lu Zhaoling leaned forward slightly and sat in an especially lazily manner.

Her tone was also nonchalant, "Let's not talk about anything else, just the few feet of Su Yue yarn left over from making clothes are worth at least a hundred taels. They were given by the Prince of Jin's Mansion and cannot be bought outside. And the handkerchief purses embroidered by my two maids are also extremely valuable."

"They are just two maids, how valuable can their embroidery be!" Mrs. Lu jumped up again.

Although Lu Ming thought she was extremely stupid just now, he now felt that there was nothing wrong with what she said.

How valuable could these little trinkets embroidered by two maids be?

In fact, Qingyin and Qingbao didn’t quite understand either, but they looked at each other and kept their mouths shut.

The young lady must have her reasons for saying this, and the two of them must not fall behind.

"You know Aunt Qing from the Prince of Jin's Mansion, right? When she was young, Aunt Qing worked in the palace and served the former Empress Dowager. Her embroidery skills were unparalleled in the palace. The Empress Dowagers and Concubines in the palace all used the handkerchiefs embroidered by her."

Lu Zhaoling paused for a moment, "Of course, you two definitely don't know. After all, Lord Lu is a lowly official, and Madam Lu, you don't have an imperial decree, so you can't come into contact with such a high level."

She also took the opportunity to criticize the couple, and sure enough, she saw that their faces became even darker with rage.

"Qingyin and Qingbao's embroidery skills were taught by Madam Qing herself. So, do you think their embroidery is valuable? I'm not exaggerating. If you tell people about this, each of their embroidered silk handkerchiefs can be sold for ten taels of silver. And since it's made of Su Yuesha, even an extra ten taels is considered a bargain."

"Why don't you just go and rob it! A handkerchief costs twenty taels! It only has a few flowers embroidered on it..." Mrs. Lu's heart was pounding, and she couldn't help but scream again.

Lu Ming's face turned black.

Stupid, stupid again.

She is not even as good as the second aunt!

Lu Zhaoling seemed to have not heard the second half of Mrs. Lu's words. She just raised her eyebrows and said, "Besides, I grew up in the countryside, I am very poor, and I have never seen a lot of money. One tael of silver is very important to me. Of course I have to report it to the police."

Hasn't she always been called a country girl or a peasant girl?

Now she said it herself, shutting them up.

"Qingbao, go report to the police. I believe that as the future Princess of Jin, the police will still give me some respect and investigate thoroughly. If they catch the thief..."

Qing Bao suppressed his laughter, stood up, and answered loudly, "Yes!"

"stop!"

Lu Ming called out to Qing Bao in a stern voice.

He stared at Lu Zhaoling and could tell that Lu Zhaoling was not joking with them and she would really report to the police.

It's just such a small matter, the officers will find out about it in no time.

By that time, their Lu family will become "famous" again.

Lu Ming's wife, while her daughter was away, stole someone else's lock and stole some small things. If this got out, it would make people laugh!

By then, he will definitely be the one who is embarrassed.

His colleagues would also laugh at him, asking what kind of girl he had married and how could he be so short-sighted?

From now on, if anyone calls Lu Zhaoling a little country girl who was raised in the countryside, she would directly reply: Madam Lu, you are trying to steal the scraps of cloth from a little country girl like me. Then she would nail them to the pillar of shame and they would not be able to get off.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming's face was about to bleed.

Facing Lu Zhaoling's half-smile and very sarcastic expression, Lu Ming was so angry that he turned around and slapped Mrs. Lu hard.

With a "bang", Mrs. Lu's head tilted to the side and her ears were buzzing.

Lu Ming himself was also confused.

His anger burned away all his rationality and he was unable to control himself for a moment.

After the slap, he came back to his senses in an instant.

You shouldn't have hit me.

After all, she was his wife, the mistress of the Lu family, and she would have to take care of Lu Zhaoling when he was not at home. Now that he had been provoked by Lu Zhaoling and had beaten her up, his wife had completely lost face in front of Lu Zhaoling.

How to discipline Lu Zhaoling in the future?

Just when Lu Ming regained his sanity and was thinking about how to make up for it, Mrs. Lu screamed and rushed towards him.

"You heartless man, you actually hit me! I've been married to you for more than ten years, I gave birth to your children, I took care of your entire household, I raised concubines and so many illegitimate children for you, and you actually hit me? Wuuwuwu, I won't live any longer!"

Lu Ming was unable to defend himself and was grabbed hard by her, leaving three bloody marks on his face.

"Are you crazy?"

Lu Ming's regained rationality was destroyed again by her, and he grabbed her hand and pushed it away.

Mrs. Lu staggered after being pushed, and rushed towards Lu Zhaoling, kneeling beside her couch.

This was a development that Lu Zhaoling had not expected.

"Such a great gift?" Lu Zhaoling raised his eyebrows.

Mrs. Lu was so angry that her eyes turned red. When she saw her feet right in front of her, she suddenly thought of the birthmark on her ankle and immediately reached out to pull Lu Zhaoling's socks.

Lu Zhaoling had already noticed it when she made the move, but her eyes flashed and she didn't dodge, and her cloth socks were violently pulled off by Mrs. Lu.

"I want to see if you have a birthmark!"

This Lu Zhaoling is too arrogant, unlike the Lu Zhaoling that the old Lu family has always described.

If her fake identity is exposed, she can be kicked out!

Following her unexpected action, Lu Ming's eyes were fixed on her, his heart in his throat.

Lu Zhaoling took in his expression.

It turns out they had all been suspecting she was a fake.

Then let them watch.

Qingyin and Qingbao frowned and walked forward, and saw that Lu Zhaoling's cloth socks had been pulled off. There was a small light red birthmark on her slender white ankle, like a crescent moon.

If it weren't for her fair skin, the faint crescent would be difficult to see.

The pink color like cherry blossoms actually makes her slender white ankles look more delicate.

"No, how could there be a birthmark? How could it be..." Mrs. Lu was devastated.

Qingyin quickly pulled up Lu Zhaoling's cloth socks.

Lu Zhaoling also slowly put her feet back under her skirt.

"So Madam Lu has always suspected that I'm not the daughter of the Lu family? Tsk tsk tsk, it would be embarrassing for me to tell this to others. You couldn't even recognize me, and you had to rely on a birthmark to confirm my identity. This shows that you haven't cared about me at all over the years."

When Lu Ming heard this, he thought that if this were to be made public, it would be another joke for their Lu family!

They have lost face in the capital recently!

He pulled Madam Lu up and said, "Let's go!"
