If it had been before the falling out, no matter how unruly Xia Wuyao was, she would still choose to obey in front of outsiders and follow her father back to the Xia family despite being oppressed by patriarchy.
Xia Ziang saw this clearly, so he thought of getting the person home first.
But the home he was talking about was not the former summer house, but a house he bought after he reconciled with Ye Lingfang.
However, whether it is the area or the furnishings inside, it is incomparable to the previous summer residence.
Likewise, if Xia Wuyao followed him back, it would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, and it would be difficult to get out again.
So the girl did something that was very shocking to people nowadays.
"Oh my! Didn't you see that Miss Xia started fighting with her father? I heard that the beating was so intense that there was blood!"
A woman attacked her father in public, which made the women of this aristocratic family have very complicated feelings both emotionally and rationally.
First of all, they definitely disapprove of this behavior and are even ashamed of it.
Because in traditional social concepts, the father is the head of the family and can control the future and destiny of everyone in the family.
It's like the vast majority of them followed their father's arrangements and married their current husbands.
And their daughter is just like them, obeying her father's words and marrying another man she has never met.
They never thought there was any problem with this, because they had been this way for generations, but now there was an alien among them.
"Tsk! Dare to attack your father in public, it is against human ethics, treacherous and unfilial! Such a girl deserves to be beaten to death. Even if she is alive, I am afraid that no good man will marry her. It is better to meet her head-on.
Forget it!"
Someone said with disgust on his face, resolutely maintaining the dignity of paternal authority.
Although others could not refute this statement, there were only a few who echoed it.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows. It seemed that the thinking in Harbor City was not as closed-minded as she had thought before.
The lady who just scolded Xia Zi'ang for being too harsh retorted coldly: "As the old saying goes, a father is kind and his son is filial, but President Xia has never been a loving father. He is the only one who can raise a rebellious and unfilial girl.
retribution."
"What nonsense are you talking about? A woman must respect her father at home! No matter what her father does, if she dares to fight back as a daughter, that is unfilial and she should not live!"
Unexpectedly, the two people actually quarreled tit for tat.
Lin Mengya frowned slightly. You must know that this is Miss Mai's makeup gift, and these two are not afraid of being rude.
Just when two people come and go, they don't care about each other.

When the fight started, Mrs. Mai suddenly came over with a smile on her face.
"Look at how lively your place is, hurry up and take a seat!"
After the master spoke, the two of them could only stop fighting no matter how unwilling they were.
But in fact, Lin Mengya saw the displeasure in Mrs. Mai's eyes.
I sighed inwardly.
These two people really don't care about the occasion.
No one would care if it broke the sky outside, but she was a little curious about the lady who spoke to Wu Yao for Aunt Ye.
I carefully looked at the other person a few times.
She was a very thin-looking woman with a somewhat gloomy complexion.
Judging from the appearance, she is quite similar to Mrs. Mai, and she should be a relative of Mrs. Mai.
No wonder Mrs. Mai didn't have an attack even though she was unhappy.
Because this is her natal relative after all, and if a quarrel really breaks out, her face will be tarnished.
However, before the banquet started, Lin Mengya was still invited to the backyard.
As a young girl waiting to be married, Miss Mai still had to eat in the backyard even though there were women in front of her.
The Mai family treats their daughter like a jewel.
Although Lin Mengya didn't look around, she still secretly praised her after entering Miss Mai's yard.
Not bad! Everything is exquisite, every step is a scene.
She can now understand Mrs. Mai's mood a little bit.
Even though her little Fu Bao is still young, Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu particularly don't like what others say about their daughter getting married when she grows up.
Whether their daughter gets married or not depends on Xiao Fubao's own choice, and her daughter will be their treasure for the rest of her life.
She is raising a daughter for herself, not for someone else's daughter-in-law. Why should she keep mentioning the word "marriage" all the time? It seems to make it seem like getting married is some kind of torture. If the daughter extends her head with a knife, she will also shrink her head with a knife.
It's like you can never hide.
Mrs. Mai was one step ahead of her and was currently greeting her in the courtyard.
"Madam." She stepped forward and saluted, and Mrs. Mai returned the salute politely, and then said: "I heard from Lao Miao Zhu that you are a foreigner, and you may not know the traditions here."
Mrs. Mai said and asked someone to bring a tray.
The tray holds four delicate purses and eight weights.
"Can you please help me?
Tying these under my daughter's roof actually doesn't mean anything, it's just a good omen that everything is stable, and I hope my daughter will get married safely and live a stable life."
Lin Mengya nodded, feeling that this was a matter that deserved to be taken seriously. After all, it was related to a girl's lifelong happiness. Even if it was just a kind of psychological comfort, she would try her best to do it.
"Madam, you are serious, so of course I am happy to help you. I don't know where to start, but what's the point? Do you need me to wash your hands?"
Seeing that she was willing to cooperate, Mrs. Mai couldn't hide the smile on her face. She shook her head and said.
"It's already an honor for us that you can help us. Our family is not very particular. We just need you to start from the east."
"OK." ??
Lin Mengya wrote it down, and then, under the guidance of the maid, she came to the east side of the house.
A small circle has been prepared under the eaves on the east side.
And it seems to have been there for a certain period of time. It should have been prepared since Miss Mai was young.
Mrs. Mai kept following her, with a bit of nostalgia in her eyes.
"My father built this yard for Shuting when she was just born. He hoped that she would be healthy and happy in her parents' family for many years. I didn't expect that my daughter would be so old in a blink of an eye, and she was about to get married.
, I still feel a little bit reluctant to give up."
Lin Mengya tied it up while silently reciting her blessings to Miss Mai in her heart.
"With parents like you and Mr. Mai, Miss Mai will definitely be happy for the rest of her life. And her husband must have been chosen by you both. His character is naturally valuable, and the two of them will naturally love each other."
Who doesn't like to hear such happy words?
In fact, Mrs. Mai had some prejudice against Lin Mengya, a foreigner, at the beginning.
It's not that she thinks her status is low or anything, but mainly because she thinks such a destined person will not be able to bless her daughter.
But after seeing Lin Mengya with her own eyes, she felt that this girl was not like an ordinary person.
Moreover, the other party's words immediately hit her heart, so she couldn't help but smile and nod.
"I'm not boasting, but my son-in-law is indeed a very good-looking person. But the only thing I'm worried about is that they have to go to Lucheng to live after they get married. My daughter has been in Harbor City since she was a child and has never been to other places a few times. I
I’m afraid she won’t get used to it.”
Especially her daughter, who is delicate and frail, has been pampered by her and her husband since she was a child.
Although Lucheng is not far from here, it is at least
#Every time verification appears, please do not use incognito mode!
A day and night journey.
In fact, she and her husband had discussed it. After their daughter gave birth to a child and their marriage was stable, the couple thought that if it didn't work out, they would sell off some of their properties here and move to Lucheng.
I am not afraid of anything else. I am afraid that no one will support my daughter after she is wronged.
Lin Mengya's hands were very steady and she tied it up in one go.
And her knotting skills are also very good, ensuring that it won't fall off when the wind blows.
The group of people moved to the south again.
Lin Mengya still hung up steadily, and her conversation with Mrs. Mai did not stop.
"Lucheng? I have heard that there are many talented people there. I believe Miss Mai's husband is also very talented and knowledgeable. I would like to first congratulate Madam on finding a good husband."
The smile on Mrs. Mai's face became more genuine. She pulled Lin Mengya and praised her son-in-law.
Only then did Lin Mengya find out that Miss Mai's fiancé was the great-grandson of a great scholar in Lucheng.
And he is the most promising descendant to take over the mantle of that great Confucian.
"Actually, I'm not worried about anything else. I'm just worried about the rules in his family. Although my daughter has been well-educated since she was a child, there must be a lot of rules in a family like that. I'm just worried about wronging my daughter."
Lin Mengya has finished tying three sachets, leaving only the last one. These things will have to be hung until Miss Mai gets married to complete her mission.
But just when the last one was about to finish, suddenly, a stone flew out of the air and hit Lin Mengya on the back of her hand.
Lin Mengya felt a sharp pain on the back of her hand, but she subconsciously pinched the sachet in her hand and endured the pain before tying the last sachet.
No one had expected such a turn of events, and Mrs. Mai only belatedly saw that the back of Lin Mengya's hand was actually a large bruise!
Even so, she still did not delay her daughter's affairs, which made Mrs. Mai deeply moved and at the same time very angry.
"What happened just now? Why did the stones hit you? Check carefully for me. If you can't find it out, I will ask you!"
When the maids and women who were following around heard this, their expressions suddenly changed, and they all knelt on the ground and begged Mrs. Mai for her life.
Mrs. Mai was also furious. At the same time, Lin Mengya covered her right hand and looked towards the northwest corner of the yard.
There was a rockery there. Although she didn't see clearly who made it, she could judge the direction of the source of the stone based on the slight movement.
Moreover, it is easy to hide one's body on the rockery. After finishing, as long as the opponent jumps off the rockery and leaves quickly, he can hide in other places.
