Chapter 107 Gloating over misfortune

Lu Yundi pleaded, "Then mother, can you let me see Zhiwei? I really miss you very much."

Madam Lu's eyes flashed with hesitation, but she finally nodded slowly, with a bit of helplessness in her tone: "Since you miss him so much, then go and see him. But you must promise me not to provoke him again and let him spend this period of time in peace."

Lu Yundi responded excitedly, and then turned and walked towards her brother's residence. Mrs. Lu looked at her daughter's back, and a trace of bitterness rose in her heart.

Arriving at Lu Zhiwei's room, Lu Yundi gently pushed open the door and saw her brother lying quietly on the bed, his face pale and his eyes revealing a hint of sadness. She walked to the bedside and gently held her brother's hand, her eyes full of concern.

Lu Yundi asked softly, "Zhi Wei, sister is here to see you, are you okay?"

Lu Zhiwei slowly opened his eyes and saw his sister. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, but he quickly regained his composure and said calmly, "Sister, you're here. I'm fine, just a little tired."

Mrs. Lu followed her daughter and looked at her son with complicated eyes, feeling mixed emotions. She sat beside the bed and said softly, "Zhi Wei, your sister is very worried about you and came to visit you specially."

Lu Zhiwei nodded slightly, turned his gaze to his sister, and asked, "Sister, why are you so worried about me?"

Lu Yundi gently stroked her brother's hair, her eyes full of tenderness: "I have loved you since you were young. Seeing you so thin, I am naturally worried. If you have any worries, you might as well tell me. Maybe I can help you find a solution."

Lu Zhiwei was silent for a moment, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, and finally he slowly spoke: "Actually, there has always been a knot in my heart. Since that accident, I can no longer pick up the sword. I know that I can no longer fight like before, which makes me feel very powerless."

When Mrs. Lu heard this, a trace of pain flashed in her eyes. She gently patted her son's hand and said softly, "Zhi Wei, you don't have to blame yourself. Everyone has his or her own mission. Your mission now is to take care of your body and stand up again."

Lu Yundi also echoed, "Yes, Zhiwei, I believe you can overcome this difficulty. Now, what you need most is rest and recuperation."

The three of them were silent for a moment, and the atmosphere in the room seemed a little heavy.

Lu Yundi suddenly thought of something, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. She looked at her brother and said with a smile: "Zhi Wei, you know what? I have made a lot of friends outside, they are all very capable, maybe they can help you."

A hint of curiosity flashed across Lu Zhiwei's eyes, and he asked, "Really? Sister, can you take me to meet them?"

Lu Yundi nodded and smiled, "Of course. As long as you tell me, I can take you there anytime."

At this time, Madam Lu suddenly spoke up, and said in a serious tone: "Yundi, you must be careful when you take Zhiwei out. The world outside is complicated and changeable, you must protect him well."

Lu Yundi nodded seriously and promised, "Don't worry, mother. I will take good care of my brother."

Mrs. Lu's face suddenly changed. "Where did you spend the money? Where did you spend the thousands of taels of silver?"

Lu Yundi curled her lips and said, "Mother, why are you so angry? I used the money to buy some books and medicinal herbs."

Madam Lu frowned, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Books and medicinal herbs? You are a woman, what do you need so many books for? Do you still want to pass the imperial examination?"

Lu Yundi smiled gently, with wisdom glittering in her eyes: "Mother, although passing the imperial examinations is not something that women should do, gaining knowledge and cultivating one's character are what everyone needs to pursue. As for medicinal herbs, my daughter has developed a strong interest in medicine in recent years, and I would like to take this opportunity to study it."

Mrs. Lu's expression eased a little, but she was still a little worried: "Yun Di, you know that this amount of money is a considerable expense for the family. Isn't it too much for you to do this?"

Lu Yundi put away her smile and said seriously, "Mother, I know the importance of money. But compared to money, I value knowledge and skills more. I think this money is worth investing."

Madam Lu was silent for a moment and sighed: "Yun Di, you always have your own ideas. In this case, then tell me, how do you plan to use these books and herbs?"

Seeing her mother's change of attitude, Lu Yundi took the opportunity to explain in detail: "Mother, I plan to use these books to enrich my knowledge, especially books on poetry, songs, historical allusions, etc. I believe that only by continuous learning can I better bring honor to the family. As for medicinal materials, I plan to set up a small pharmacy in the mansion to regulate the health of my family in my spare time, and also treat some simple headaches and fevers for the people nearby."

After hearing her daughter's explanation, Mrs. Lu showed a relieved smile on her face: "Yundi, your heart is naturally understood by your mother. Since you are so ambitious, then your mother will not stop you."

……

evening.

Lu Yundi prepared to get on the carriage to go back.

Suddenly, a clear voice came from behind, "Sister, please stay."

Lu Yundi turned around and saw Lu Wanqing smiling. There was a hint of gloating on the corners of her mouth, which made her feel a little disgusted.

She frowned slightly, trying to make her tone sound calm, "Sister Wanqing, what's the matter?"

Lu Wanqing walked forward slowly, her steps light as a willow branch swaying in the wind, but her smile was completely different, with a hint of cunning, "Sister, I heard that you spoke out of turn in front of father today and were punished, is that right?"

Lu Yundi's expression changed slightly. This was Lu Wanqing deliberately provoking her.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said calmly: "Sister, this is a family matter, you don't need to say more."

Lu Wanqing was not willing to give in. She took a step closer, her eyes full of provocation, "I'm just concerned about my sister. We are a family, aren't we?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly. Lu Wanqing was deliberately trying to provoke her, but she would not be fooled. She looked at Lu Wanqing with cold eyes, "Sister Wanqing, you are right. We are a family. I hope you can respect yourself and not talk about others behind their backs."

Lu Wanqing's face changed. She didn't expect Lu Yundi to fight back like this. She stood there in a daze, her eyes full of surprise.

Lu Yundi no longer paid attention to Lu Wanqing. She turned around and prepared to get on the carriage. At this time, Lu Wanqing spoke again, "Sister, do you really think you can always be so high and mighty?"

Lu Yundi paused, turned around, and looked at Lu Wanqing, with a hint of coldness in her eyes, "Sister, have you forgotten that I am the eldest daughter of the Lu family? I was born to be high and mighty."

Lu Wanqing's face turned ugly. She bit her lip, her eyes full of resentment. Looking at Lu Yundi, she suddenly laughed, "Sister, will your position never be shaken? You are wrong. I will let you know that everything you have can be taken away by others."

Lu Yundi looked at Lu Wanqing coldly, then turned around and got on the carriage. She looked out the window, her mind full of thoughts.

Lu Wanqing's words would not be aimless, she must find a way to deal with it.
