Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Jiang Yan did not expect Xiang Xiaoyuan to dare to talk to her like that. She sneered and said, "So this is Brother Lu's new wife? No manners at all. I really don't know what Brother Lu sees in you."

Xiang Xiaoyuan tucked her long hair behind her ears and smiled gently. "Maybe he sees that I'm good-looking."

There was an ancient Chinese poem that said "When all the flowers wilted, there is all but one remaining."

The saying was tailor-made for Xiang Xiaoyuan. The simple sling skirt outlined her curvy figure. Her wavy hair was draped lazily over her shoulders. Her slightly raised long legs were straight and white, like fine warm jade. Her lips were naturally red, and her eyes were charming.

She looked like a vixen, but also like a fairy who was not touched by the mortal world. The two were mixed together, making it difficult for people to look away.

Jiang Yan's face was livid with anger. She wanted to scold Xiang Xiaoyuan for being shameless, but when she saw Xiang Xiaoyuan's charming face, she could not say anything. Who asked Xiang Xiaoyuan to be really good-looking.

She had no choice but to vent her anger on Nanny Zhang. "Didn't you hear? I don't like this fragrance. It's making my head hurt! Change it, quickly change it!"

Xiang Xiaoyuan didn't expect Jiang Yan to be so thick-skinned. She had already said that she liked this incense, but she still insisted on changing it.

"Making your head hurt? Then what should I do? Why don't you leave for a while? Anyway, Lu Bei is still in school at this time, and Lu Bei's father isn't back yet." Xiang Xiaoyuan suggested lazily.

Nanny Zhang looked at Jiang Yan and then looked at Xiang Xiaoyuan. She was smart enough to leave. As for changing the incense, she didn't forget that Xiang Xiaoyuan was the wife.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was very satisfied with the servants in the villa. At least they were very tactful and would not do such things.

Jiang Yan took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress her anger. However, the expression on her face was still a little twisted. "I forgot to mention just now. It's not that I hate the smell of rose incense, but that Lu Bei and Brother Lu don't like it. They both think that the smell of rose is too warm and vulgar. They prefer the fresh and elegant smell."

After a pause, she said with an expression that said, "Actually, I'm doing this for your own good. You just married into the Lu family. It wouldn't be good if you do things that Brother Lu and Lu Bei don't like."

Want to flex her acting skills? Xiang Xiaoyuan was not afraid.

She was so touched that her eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Jiang Yan. "Is that so? However, Lu Wanggui said that he liked the smell of roses on me the most. He said that only the most gorgeous flowers like roses were worthy of me. As for that child Lu Bei, he didn't tell me that he didn't like the smell of roses. Could it be that he was trying to make me happy and forced himself to endure it? Oh, this is too touching. How could he be so considerate?"

This shameless b * tch!

Jiang Yan was so angry that her chest was heaving up and down. She felt that what Xiang Xiaoyuan said was fake. Brother Lu was such a calm person, how could he say such cloying words of love? However, she remembered that Lu Wanggui had married Xiang Xiaoyuan without saying a word. Was he really mesmerized by beauty?

"I'm sleepy. I want to go back to my room to sleep. Nanny Zhang, tidy up my room."Jiang Yan couldn't sit still. She got up and was about to walk upstairs. The moment she got up, she remembered something. She turned her head to Xiao Yuan and said, "Oh right, you probably don't know that there's a room for me at home, right? When brother-in-law and Sister Feifei were still married, I often came here to stay. Sister Feifei even specially reserved a room for me."

Brother-in-law? Now she knew to call him brother-in-law instead of Brother Lu?

Xiang Xiaoyuan pursed her lips and looked at Nanny Zhang. "Nanny Zhang, Miss Jiang said that she has a room at home. Which one is it? Why don't I know?"

Nanny Zhang answered respectfully, "Madam, there is no special reserved room for Miss Jiang. What she meant should be the guest room at the end of the second floor, but that room has been changed into a cloakroom after Madam and Sir got married."

The servants in the villa were not stupid. Ever since Madam Yao Fei and the master got divorced, Jiang Yan had been coming here every day. In name, she was visiting Lu Bei, but in reality, she wanted to become Lu Bei's stepmother. If the servants could see through it, it was impossible for Lu Wanggui and Lu Bei not to see through it. The two of them also maintained a distance from Jiang Yan when they were together. It could even be said that they were estranged. However, Jiang Yan shamelessly continued to come.

With Lu Wanggui and Lu Bei's attitude, the maids did not pay much attention to Jiang Yan.

"Ah, so that's how it is."

Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled apologetically. "At that time, I thought that the cloakroom was too big. How many things do I need to buy to fill it up?"

Jiang Yan: "..."

She finally could not maintain her outward friendliness. When she left, she said fiercely to Xiang Xiaoyuan, "Don't be too pleased with yourself. Brother Lu is only interested in you for a moment. The Lu family will belong to Lu Bei in the future! Don't think that after giving birth to a child, you can compete with Lu Bei for the family assets.. You won't be able to get anything from the Lu family."
