Ma Xinduan put down the matters at hand and personally brought the five of them to tour the garden. The beautiful and spacious garden, the exquisite and elegant carving, and the winding and beautiful corridor made them praise it endlessly.
Unknowingly, it was lunchtime.
"Young heroes, the kitchen has already prepared the dishes. Let's go eat together!”
As he was Tang Feixiu's uncle, they did not hesitate to accept his request.
However…there were only six chairs at the dining table.
Ma Xinduan and his wife sat down. Tang Feixiu also sat down generously." Young heroes, please sit!”
Li Yan and the other two hesitated. This seat…
Before they could speak, Ma Xinduan instructed the maid beside him,"Xiao Ju, take this girl down for dinner!”This lady was undoubtedly Gu Yu who was standing at the side.
Gu Yu was slightly startled, her eyes filled with unsolved confusion. Why…didn't they let her eat with them?!
Little Ju bent her body and walked to Gu Yu's side. "Miss, this way!"
"Second Senior Brother!" Li Yan didn't speak for a long time, so Ke Tingzhi called out to him anxiously.
Although Li Yan was angry with Gu Yu, he was not pleased to let her be taken away by the servant girl and treated like a servant girl. "Wait!" she said hurriedly.
He smiled at Ma Xinduan in embarrassment." Uncle Ma, this... Sister Yu has always eaten with us!”
" This..." Ma Xinduan frowned." This... The rules of the Ma Residence are that maids are not allowed to sit at the same table as their masters and guests! This…this rule can't be broken!" He looked troubled.
Li Yan was stunned. He did not expect this. "This…Uncle Ma, you may have misunderstood. This…although Sister Yu is a helper in the valley, she is not a maid!”
Oh, Gu Yu finally understood. She finally understood what they were talking about?
But a maid?
Was this how they viewed her?!
She could not help but clench her small fists, and endless inferiority and embarrassment rose in her heart!
Just because she was a maid, did she not deserve to sit at the same table as them?!
Everyone's eyes seemed to be focused on her at once. She immediately felt embarrassed and lowered her head. Tears rolled in her eyes and she tried not to let them fall.
So she was just a maid!
Ma Xinduan's apologetic voice rang out," Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Young Hero Li. I thought this girl was a maid in your valley, because I said she was here to help. Hehe…" He laughed dryly." Forgive me, forgive me. It was my misunderstanding, my misunderstanding, my apologies! I'm sorry!"
He said that, but the damage had already been done!
She was just a maid! She was just a maid!
This knowledge broke her heart.
"It's fine, it's fine!" Li Yan replied gently. It's good that you understand!" He could not say anything more since the other party had apologized so sincerely.
"Xiao Ju, quickly bring another chair over and let Miss Gu sit down!”
Ma Xin Duan's loud voice attracted everyone's attention. The gazes that stared at Gu Yu were like needles, and the whispers were like annoying mosquitoes, causing Gu Yu to have a headache!
"It's a maid. A maid actually sat at the master's table!……”
Tang Hongying furrowed her brows, pursed her red lips, and glared. She suddenly shouted,"What are you arguing about? Servants should behave like servants. Who allowed you to whisper!”
Instantly, the hall fell silent.
As the mistress of the household, Tang Hongying gave off the impression of a gentle and beautiful woman at first glance. However, she was still someone from the Tang Sect in Sichuan. None of them were to be trifled with.
She stood up and went to Gu Yu's side, pulling her small hand.
She was shocked and her body stiffened at that moment.
"Gu Yu, right? I'll call you Yu 'er!”She patted her little hand and said apologetically,"I'm really sorry about just now. The girls here really don't know the rules. I'll apologize to you on their behalf. Don't take it to heart, okay?”
So…so gentle!
This was the first time a mother-level person spoke to her so gently. The soft and warm feeling from her palm also gave her an inexplicable sense of freshness and warmth. Gu Yu was moved and raised her head.
Tang Hongying smiled gently. Her gentle smile contained thousands of emotions. This smile instantly bought Gu Yu over. The grievances she had just suffered seemed to have been blown away by a gentle wind!
She suppressed the tears in her eyes and smiled shyly at her. She said in a small voice,"I'm fine!"
So cute! Tang Hongying's eyes lit up. What a cute little girl! From the moment she came in, she felt that this little girl was extremely cute and gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity. She did not expect that this little girl would be even more adorable when she smiled, which greatly affected her motherly feelings!
"Come, come, Yu 'er, sit with me!”The way she said it, it was obvious that she was treating her as her niece. She affectionately pulled Gu Yu to sit beside her, which made Tang Feixiu, who was watching from the side, grit his teeth in anger. This aunt who didn't play by the rules, really!
"Xiao Cui, you stay. The other girls, go down. Without my orders, don't come up!”As soon as she sat down, she sent those gossipy servant girls away.
All of a sudden, the servant girls standing in the hall left, leaving only Xiao Cui in the hall. Even Xiao Ju, who had brought a chair over later, was sent away by her. This time, Gu Yu felt much more relaxed. Those annoying gazes were also gone.
The few of them sat down. Tang Hongying politely instructed Li Yan and the others to eat as much as they wanted. She treated them as her own home and wholeheartedly entertained Gu Yu. "Yu 'er, try this. The bamboo shoots are very fresh…"
She kept putting food into her bowl, making Gu Yu feel embarrassed and shy, but at the same time, she felt extremely warm.
This feeling, was it the feeling of his mother?!
She vaguely thought…
With her protection, Tang Feixiu and Ma Xinduan's plan was considered to have failed halfway. Ma Xinduan gave Tang Feixiu a look and said," Niece, I tried my best, but your aunt…
He used his mouth to nudge his wife!
Tang Feixiu nodded, indicating that he understood!
If her first plan didn't work, she still had another one!
No rush!
After dinner, Ma Xinduan instructed the maid to take Li Yan and the others to rest. In the afternoon, he invited a troupe to perform for them.
Tang Feixiu's other " good plan " was about to begin.
