The Villain's Mom Becomes Famous for Fortune-Telling and Gossip Ch. 140

"You're fine keeping Jingxi in this house? Doesn't it bother you how that'll make Yuanyuan feel?!"

The third daughter-in-law's expression didn't change. "If it bothers her, then don't come back. If she's more comfortable outside, let her stay there."

Now it wasn't just the old lady who was shaking with rage—even her husband, Lu family's third son, was starting to look at her differently.

She was her own biological daughter, for god's sake—how could she say something like that?!

The eldest daughter of the Lu family held onto their mother, who was shaking all over from rage, and frowned at the third daughter-in-law. "You don't like Yuanyuan, but are you really going to ignore Xiao He just for Jingxi?"

Right now, Lu He was still unconscious, and Lu You's master couldn't leave his duties. A living person like her just couldn't wake up. Not to mention her original job was on hold, but after the morning news broke and Lu He still hadn't shown up, her fans online were practically going crazy.

"It's not like she's the only one who can help Xiao He," the third son of the Lu family said, his attitude unchanged despite his son's attempts to calm him. "Besides, everyone says Yu Yuan's so amazing—has any of you actually seen it for yourselves? What if she's just a scammer?"

This was his own field of expertise. Lu You glanced at his mom's cold face, hesitated for a second, then said, "Yu Yuan has really strong spiritual energy. There's no way she's a fraud."

The third daughter-in-law gave her idiot son a look. "And how does she compare to your master?"

Lu You figured he couldn't really tell. "I'm not sure. But... my master is an elder of the Celestial Master Hall. Yu Yuan's only in her twenties. I guess my master should be more powerful."

"Exactly." The third daughter-in-law's gaze lazily drifted to the old madam and the eldest sister-in-law. "Xiao He's got Xiao You's master. Why bother looking for someone whose strength we can't even confirm?"

Old Lady Lu was fuming. "How is that the same thing?!"

Xiao You's master was Xiao You's master. Yu Yuan was Yu Yuan! If their Lu family had such a famous master on their side in the future, who wouldn't look at them with more respect? Even when the kids were out in the business world making deals, people would think twice before crossing them!

She should've stuck to her gut back when her third son got married. She never should've agreed to him marrying an actress. All looks and no brains, couldn't see past her own nose!

The third daughter-in-law let out a cold laugh. "What's so different? Xiao He's problem's solved, isn't it?"

"What about Yuanyuan then?" the eldest daughter of the Lu family pressed.

"She's an adult now. Even if you bring her back, do you really think she'll feel like she belongs?" The third daughter-in-law picked up her purse, shook off her husband's hand, and turned around to leave without a care. "Anyway, things are already like this. Since we can't get on Yu Yuan's good side, let's not break Jingxi's heart. No matter what, as long as I'm around, Jingxi will always be a daughter of the Lu family."

"Mom..."

Seeing his mom walk off for the first time without even glancing at his dad's expression, Lu Jingming called after her. She didn't even look back.

Watching his daughter-in-law walk off with that attitude, Old Lady Lu was stunned for a moment. Then she closed her eyes and threw herself into her daughter's arms, wailing:

"My baby girl! You see that? They're all bullying your mom! They've all forgotten who it was that got up at the crack of dawn and slaved away to raise you four siblings! Who got beat up so many times just to protect you all as you grew up!"

"They've all forgotten! Today the daughter-in-law dares throw a tantrum at me—tomorrow there won't even be a place for me in this family!"

"I might as well go meet your dad early and save myself from living like this, hated by everyone!"

Back in her younger days, Old Lady Lu hadn't had it easy. Old Master Lu was the least favored son in the whole family. Because her first child was a daughter, she'd been tormented endlessly by her mother-in-law. Even after she gave birth to three sons in a row, she still suffered tons of grievances.

Because of that, once the kids grew up and had families of their own, they'd always been tolerant toward their mom.

The huge old mansion echoed with Old Lady Lu's ghost-like wails. Lu family's third son, who'd originally wanted to speak up, took in the scene, sighed heavily, and—just like always—chose to give in.

"Mom, my wife didn't mean it like that..."

On Huling Mountain in Feiniaocheng, a snow-white little fox crouched on the windowsill. It peeked out from behind the curtain, watching its dad's silhouette disappear into the forest, then jumped up in excitement and flipped out the window in one smooth motion.

"Meow meow! I'm coming!"

The snow-white figure darted quickly through the lush green forest. The little fox flipped over several big trees, leaping high with the help of the vines that stretched toward it, and soon arrived at the spot where it had found the little black cat last time.

The small clearing had been eroded by the heavy rain last time and was now full of pits and bumps.

The little fox anxiously circled the area, but couldn't catch the black cat's scent. It scratched at a dirt pit with its little paw, then zipped around the clearing. After the rain, the black cat's scent here had become super faint.

"Awoo..."

The little fox looked all over but couldn't find a trace of its buddy. It lay down sadly on the dirt pit for a bit, its big amber eyes full of gloom. After a while, it shook itself off, fluffed up its fur, and raised its big tail to go find Grandpa Tree, the all-knowing tree of Huling Mountain.

Grandpa Tree was a centuries-old banyan tree that had been growing on Huling Mountain for over a thousand years. Its branches were dense, its roots spread all over the mountain, and it was the most informed being on the whole mountain. It even remembered clearly which tourist picked the first flower that Little Peony had bloomed last month.

"Grandpa Tree! Grandpa Tree!"

The little guy jumped across the branches, landing steadily on the thickest banyan tree in Huling Mountain, startling a huge flock of birds into the air.

It pawed at the leaves with its fluffy little claws. A gust of wind blew by, and the old banyan tree rustled its leaves and stretched lazily.

"Ah..." The old banyan tree extended a branch and lifted the little fox off its head, yawning as it asked, "Oh, it's you, little fox. Your dad let you out to play today?"

"No no no!" The little fox stood up in a panic and grabbed onto the hanging vine, trying to climb up. "Grandpa Tree, I'm looking for someone—no, a cat! Can you help me find it? Pleaseee~"
