Chapter 292: I Dreamed About You
Lu Dongchun was Lu Maoxian's daughter.
Monkey Qiu was in his early forties, and Lu Dongchun was two years older than him. Even so, she looked no more than a woman in her twenties. Her skin was smooth and delicate, her features graceful and refined. She was the kind of beauty one rarely encountered.
She stood outside the Lu Family's main residence beneath a dark parasol, dressed in a neat Western-style gown. She did not complain. She did not knock impatiently on the gates. She did not even bring servants to fuss around her. How could such a beautiful and well-mannered lady provoke Duan Shaoxia so badly that Madam Duan detested even the sight of her?
"I am not seeing her. Send her away!" Duan Shaoxia snapped. She still refused to let Lu Dongchun in the house.
Monkey Qiu said, "Madam, she's here to gather people to avenge Grand Old Master."
Duan Shaoxia ground her teeth together. "She still dares to come looking for me? It's already merciful enough that I haven't gone to settle the score with them myself!"
Monkey Qiu shook his head. "Madam, those are the family rules."
Duan Shaoxia's expression darkened further. She understood the rules of a great family all too well. If Lu Maoxian had been wounded by someone within the Lu Family, the other branches would simply turn a blind eye and leave him to fend for himself.
However, if an outsider had injured him, especially to such a serious degree, then it became a matter concerning the entire Lu Family. Once the culprit was identified and Lu Maoxian called for revenge, every branch of the family would be obligated to answer that call.
