Mother Yao was a cunning old fox. At this moment, she knelt in front of Lu Shiyuan."It's all this old servant's fault. Seeing that Second Young Lady was injured, I lied to Old Master and Furen because I felt sorry for her. Furen is still sick and she doesn't know anything. She struggled to get off the bed to see Second Young Lady.”
Lu Wanling also reacted and pounced forward to hug Lu Shiyuan's knee."" Father, punish me. It's my fault. Don't blame Mother…"
Although Lu Shiyuan's expression was still very ugly, his anger had clearly weakened. He did not even mention the family law anymore.
Aunt An, who had just received the news, rushed into the courtyard. When she saw the situation, she subconsciously glanced at Wan Qiu. Seeing her calm and composed face, she went forward with a smile and advised,"Master, Furen is not feeling well. It is better to carry Furen into the room first and ask the doctor to come and take a look.”
Seeing that Lu Shiyuan did not object, she swiftly instructed everyone to carry Miss Chen into Lu Wanling's room. Lu Wanling didn't dare to show any signs of baring her fangs and brandishing her claws anymore. She lowered her head and followed them in, crying non-stop along the way.
Wan Qiu sighed and said uneasily to Lu Shiyuan,""Father, my own servant girl accidentally offended my sister. I feel very uneasy. I really came to see her with good intentions. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come…"
Lu Mingxuan held her hand and complained angrily,""Daddy, it's not my fault!"
Lu Shiyuan looked at his elder daughter who looked guilty and his son who looked angry. He suddenly felt exhausted and waved his hand."I know it's not your fault. Forget it.”
Aunt An smiled at Wan Qiu and helped Lu Shiyuan in. When he entered the house, Lu Shiyuan stepped on the broken porcelain pieces on the floor and couldn't help but glare at Lu Wanling angrily.
Wan Qiu looked coldly at his back as he left. This man was really selfish!
She was so angry today not because she loved her but because Lu Wanling wanted to hit her, the eldest daughter, in front of so many servants! This was undoubtedly a big scandal for the Lu Residence, which had always attached great importance to etiquette and rules. He was so furious just to cover this up.
If he really wanted to punish Lu Wanling, why would Miss Chen say a few words and faint so easily? It didn't matter. Her goal was just to prevent Miss Chen and Lu Wanling from using this as an excuse to make a fuss. She didn't expect him to put righteousness above family.
Wan Qiu lowered her head and said worriedly to Mother Yao, who was still kneeling on the ground,""Mother Yao, is Mother alright? I just wanted to see my sister. I didn't expect her to be so angry. Sigh…"
Mother Yao looked at Wanqiu with a strange expression. The Second Miss was bumped into by a servant girl, and that servant girl was from the Eldest Miss 'courtyard. This was too much of a coincidence. She could have used this opportunity to complain, but Wanqiu had to come to visit and make her lose her temper. It was not too early or too late, and Old Master had seen it. It was as if the timing was calculated. Was there really such a coincidence in this world?
After leaving Xingyun Pavilion, Lu Mingxuan was still a little indignant. He chided Zhilan childishly,""Why did you stop me just now? You should have let me give her a slap!”
Zhilan smiled and lowered her head without saying anything. It was Mother Zhang who said,"My young master, you are really a silly child. If you hit the second miss today, will the first miss still be able to use this opportunity to suppress this matter?”
"But if father came a step later, sister would have been beaten up for nothing.”Lu Mingxuan's fair little face was still dark. His cheeks were puffed up and he looked as cute as a bun. Wanqiu chuckled and pinched him."Am I the kind of person who would give myself up to her for nothing?”
She had been knocked down for no reason and thought that she could vent her anger. Who knew that before she could hit the victim, she would be scolded instead. Lu Wanling, the victim, was really unlucky.
"Humph! Sister, don't pinch my face. I'm an adult!”Lu Mingxuan protested.
Zhilan was still a little worried. Will Xiangling be punished?"
"Xiangling is doing this for me. Of course I will protect her. However, this matter isn't completely over. Take your time.”Wan Qiu looked in the direction of the Xingyun Pavilion.
Every time she saw Lu Wanling, she could not help but think of her past life. At that time, Xuan 'er hated this mother and daughter as much as he did now, but he foolishly believed them and even defended them in every possible way.
"Xuan 'er, Ling' er is very cute. You have to be closer to her.”"Xuan 'er, Ling' er respects you very much. You have to take care of her like a brother.”"Xuan 'er, I think the errand boy that mother arranged for you is not bad. Look at how good she treats you!”
Wanqiu could not help but think of all the things that had happened in the past. She lowered her head and looked at Xuan 'er seriously."Xuan 'er, from now on, you have to be careful of this mother and daughter. Don't be bitten by them and come back to cry to me.”
“……”
Miss Chen had been unconscious all this while. The doctor who had been invited said that she had fainted because of excessive worry. She only woke up after pinching her philtrum for a long time. She leaned weakly against the bed and said to Lu Shiyuan,"Old Master, don't blame Ling 'er. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I didn't teach my daughter well.”
Lu Shiyuan looked at her sorrowful expression and could not say anything to blame her. Aunt An smiled gently and said,"Old Master, Second Young Miss was just being childish for a moment. Furen is still sick. Please forgive Second Young Miss on Furen's account.”
Lu Shiyuan looked at the dainty Aunt An, and the anger on his face slowly sank. He looked coldly at Lu Wanling.""Go apologize to your sister today and beg her to forgive you!”
Lu Wanling's face turned red immediately. She wanted to defend herself, but Miss Chen quickly said,""Hurry up and thank your father. He is doing this for your own good.”If Lu Wanling's actions today were to be publicized, who would dare to propose marriage in the future? No family would want a woman who was so bold as to hit her elder sister in public to be their daughter-in-law!
Lu Shiyuan snorted coldly and held Aunt An's hand as they walked away. Mother Yao was still kneeling in the courtyard. When she saw Old Master leave, she spat at Aunt An's back and quickly stood up to enter the house.
As soon as he left, Miss Chen got up from the bed. She did not look weak at all."Ling 'er, let mother take a look.”
"Let go of me, let go of me." Lu Wanling burst into tears and shouted,""Even you didn't help me and even asked me to apologize. She was clearly the one who deliberately harmed me! What if I accidentally hurt my face?”
Miss Chen really had a lot to say. Lu Wanling did not understand her motherly heart. This was like stabbing her in the chest." Ling 'er, you were born from my pregnancy. How could I not love you? How could he help an outsider! I did it all for you!"
"Then why didn't you help me just now and watch them bully me like that? Are you afraid of her too? I've been going to Grandma's place to suffer these days. I've said many times that I don't want to go anymore! You insist on forcing me to pay my respects. Are you helping me?”Lu Wanling pushed Miss Chen away with all her might." If you really love me, go and tell Father that it was Wanqiu who caused me to get hurt. Ask him to punish her severely!”
