The whole thing was reproduced perfectly, and they couldn't protect their daughter even if they wanted to, otherwise they would lose not only their daughter's reputation today, but also their virtuous reputation.
Mu Siyu and Mrs. Jia who rushed over walked in at this time.
"I heard that two girls lost their footing and fell into the water?" Mu Siyu asked with concern, "What's going on? How do the servants take care of them?"
"Mrs. Lu..." Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Ruan greeted Mu Siyu.
Mu Siyu's face was filled with guilt: "Madam, I'm so sorry. My servants didn't take good care of me, and they actually caused the two girls to fall into the water. Are they injured? Have you called a doctor?"
"It's nothing serious." Mrs. Wang said, "I don't blame the servants of your mansion. It's my girl who lost her etiquette. I'll ask my nanny to discipline her properly when I get back to the mansion."
"The two girls are already frightened, so we can't scare them anymore." Mu Siyu said and walked towards Miss Wang and Miss Ruan, "You two girls, I asked my servants to cook ginger soup. You can drink some to drive away the cold.
"
"Thank you ma'am."
Miss Wang and Miss Ruan thanked them honestly under the warning in their mother's eyes.
"Did he really slip and fall into the water?" Mu Siyu asked, "Yun'er, tell me what happened?"
"Mrs. Lu, it's really because they were careless and fell into the water." Mrs. Ruan argued, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious."
"Just over twenty fish died." Ding Xiang said beside him.
Jiang and Ruan, mother and daughter, had strange expressions.
Wouldn’t the Lu family still want them to pay for the fish?
With three thousand taels of silver in fish, who else is as wealthy as the Lu family?
"What fish are you talking about?" Mu Siyu glared at Ding Xiang, "There are a lot of things today. I will take care of you when I have some free time. You won't even be able to see my fish."
In the end, Miss Wang and Miss Ruan did not complain, and the matter was settled.
The two ladies left with their daughters.
When the room was empty, Mrs. Jia blamed Jia Linglong: "Why are you so restless? You can say whatever others say without losing a few pieces of meat."
"I..." Jia Linglong was unwilling to accept it and opened her mouth, but in the end she did not talk back to Mrs. Jia.
"Aunt Jia, that's not what you said." Lu Zhiyun said, "You think it's just a matter of a few words, but these people have always been so good and downtrodden, and your concession will only make them feel that they are right, and
Your dignity is worthless, they can trample on it at will. You stay in the house all day long and have nothing to argue with. This is nothing. But have you ever thought that others look down on Linglong, so how will Linglong propose marriage in the future? Marrying high is not possible,
The only option is to marry low. But after marrying low, can Linglong escape those nonsense? This will not solve the problem at all."
"Listen, you don't have a child to understand it yet." Mu Siyu said, "If you want others to respect you mother and daughter, you have to toughen up yourself."
"I know too, but I just don't want to cause you any trouble today," Mrs. Jia said.
"You don't want to cause trouble for me today, and you don't want to cause trouble for others tomorrow. Anyway, you have a bunch of reasons." Mu Siyu said, "I think Linglong was brave for her mother. She did this.
Very good. If a person humiliates your own mother in front of you and you can still tolerate it, then that is not understanding, but cowardice."
Behind the rockery, Lu Shaoyu took off his cloak and found a seat to sit down.
Today's guests are all here for him. Although he is young and does not need to drink, he is still impatient to be dragged around to talk to each other.
It was quiet here and he finally relaxed.
"Did you come here specifically to play because you like this rockery?"
A crisp voice sounded.
Lu Shaoyu opened his eyes and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
There was a little head sticking out, and a little girl with two crotch buns was lying on the rock looking at him, her smart eyes full of curiosity.
"Who are you?" Lu Shaoyu asked.
"How can you be so rude? Before you ask me my name, shouldn't you tell me where you are?" the little girl said with a smile.
"I am Lu Shaoyu."
"Master Lu... you are the Jieyuan this time." The little girl said, "My father mentioned you and said that the article you wrote made many famous scholars feel inferior. It turns out that you are so young and you are so good-looking.
Very nice..."
"Good poems...good poems..."
"Hey, I'm here..."
The little girl responded and said to Lu Shaoyu: "My sister is looking for me, I'll leave first."
Lu Shaoyu watched the little girl jump away like a little rabbit.
He shook his head gently and found a new position to lean against for a while.
He didn't intend to hide away, he just wanted to be quiet for a while, and he would go back to continue socializing when he calmed down.
"Xing Jiashi, why are you running around?" A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl poked the little girl on the forehead and said, "This is the Lu Mansion, not our home. If you get into trouble, it depends on how your parents punish you."
"The Lu Mansion is so beautiful." Xing Jiashi said, "Especially those stones, they are so beautiful..."
"How can there be such a strange person like you in the world? Others like gold, silver and jewelry, but you like all kinds of strange stones."
"Everyone has different interests and hobbies! Dad likes to collect inkstones, mom likes to collect beautiful hairpins, sister, you like to collect fans, and I just like stones. Is that wrong?"
Xing Jiarou shook her head gently: "There is nothing we can do against you."
"You don't have to rely on me. Just rely on your brother-in-law." Xing Jiashi pointed in the opposite direction and said, "No, brother-in-law is here."
Xing Jiarou looked at the handsome man getting closer and closer, her face full of shyness.
"Go back to your mother quickly. She has been looking for you for a long time."
"I understand, I won't disturb your whisper with your brother-in-law."
After Mu Siyu settled the affairs between the Wang and Ruan families, she returned to the center of the female family members. Except for the princess, princess and various royal relatives who were not easy to greet, others still gave her a lot of face.
Xing Jiashi happened to return to Mrs. Xing's side.
When Mu Siyu saw Xing Jiashi, she felt that this little girl was quite interesting, and she looked very much like her little daughter Lu Zhiqing.
"How old is Miss Xing Wu?"
"Ten years old." Mrs. Xing said, "I can't sit still all day long, like a wild monkey, which makes Mrs. Lu laugh."
"Mom, what are you talking about? How can a wild monkey be as cute as me?" After Xing Jiashi finished speaking, he looked at Mu Siyu and said, "Madam, can I ask you for something?"
"Jia Shi!" Mrs. Xing was shocked and looked at her angrily.
Mu Siyu was not angry, and asked with a smile: "Let's talk about it and see if I can do it."
"There is a red stone behind your rockery. I think it looks good and I want to ask you for it." Xing Jiashi said, "Is that okay?"
