Sure enough, in the evening, Butler Wu came to the fourth lady's courtyard, Lanxiang Pavilion, and said that the master asked the fourth lady and the fourth young lady to go to the first lady's courtyard, Muyan Pavilion.
Shui Lianyue didn't need to think about it to know that her father must have asked her to go because of the noon matter. No wonder the eldest lady stopped making trouble. It turned out that she asked her father to make the decision for her.
However, my mother had just fallen asleep after taking medicine, and she was still out of breath even after walking ten steps. It would still be a long way to go to Muyan Pavilion. In addition, her father didn’t know how to punish her after going there, so her condition would get worse because of this.
But it's not good.
So, he immediately returned to Butler Wu's house and said that his mother had been ill for a long time and could not get off the bed, so he would not let her go.
After hearing this, Butler Wu's face naturally turned ugly, but since there was no doubt about Shui Lianyue's words, he couldn't say anything and could only compromise.[
The Shuifu Mansion has winding paths, carved corridors, painted columns, pavilions, and rockery bonsai everywhere. It is worthy of being an aristocratic family with great wealth. Even the mansion is so luxurious.
The garden lake is quiet. The crescent moon is reflected on the lake surface. It ripples with microwaves and then breaks into pieces. There are insects chirping around and the faint fragrance of flowers enters the nose. At this time, the scene is actually peaceful.
The further we walked, we could see servants patrolling back and forth everywhere, all wearing waist knives. The fragrance of flowers was getting stronger. If Ru Shui Lianyue guessed correctly, we must be almost at Muyan Pavilion.
Only the eldest lady dares to be so showy. If the second lady and the third lady were like this, I am afraid that the eldest lady would have dealt with them long ago.
Hongying followed Shui Lianyue closely, feeling uneasy. Unexpectedly, the incident alarmed the master. She looked at the young lady's back worriedly, feeling as if her heart was shaking.
Arriving at Muyan Pavilion, the candles were brightly lit inside, and the three-color peonies planted outside the courtyard had not withered at night. The fragrance of the flowers in the courtyard was even stronger, making Shui Lianyue almost cough.
Walking into the house, the maid stood in the room. There was a middle-aged man sitting in front of him. He had an expression on his face and a pair of bottomless eyes looking at Shui Lianyue. Although the face was more handsome, his age showed that
, there are wrinkles on the eyelids, but those eyes are very smart.
Presumably, this man is her father. Although she has the memory of Shui Lianyue, this man has never appeared in that memory. It can be seen that he does not care about this daughter at all.
Next to him was the eldest lady Liu Ruoyan. She was sitting aside, with pear blossoms in the rain, as if she had just cried. Shui Muyao stood comforting the eldest lady. When Shui Lianyue walked in, her almond-shaped eyes were full of tears.
anger.
"Dad, you have to make the decision for my mother. In order to save my father's worries, my mother works all day long and is exhausted mentally and physically. But some people just pick up ready-made things and don't take her seriously. The fourth sister today
I have just returned to my home, so of course I don’t understand many etiquette matters, but after all, my mother is also the mistress of the house, and there are differences in seniority and hierarchy, so my father has to make the decision for my mother.”
Shui Muyao spoke clearly and eloquently, vividly and pitifully. Even the second lady and the third lady who were sitting down nodded frequently.
"Master, I have suffered some grievances, and Yue'er must not have had a good time outside these years, so I don't understand etiquette and humiliate me. I am the mistress, so naturally I don't care about her, but no matter what Yue'er says
She is also the daughter of the Shui family. She does not know etiquette and does not distinguish between superior and inferior. It is inevitable that in the future it will be true and people will laugh, saying that if the daughter of our Shui family marries the prince in the future, then the master will lose all his face."
Shui Muyao had just spread her temper when the eldest lady began to fan the flames. Shui Lianyue knew without even thinking that her father would be furious in the end, and she would not be able to escape the fate of being punished.
As expected of a mother and daughter, their cooperation is truly perfect.
Sure enough, Shui Yunheng's face became increasingly gloomy and his breath became more and more impetuous. He pointed at Shui Lianyue and shouted: "Kneel down for me."
Shui Lianyue was slightly startled and knelt down? She had never knelt down for anyone since she was born, except for her master. However, that was because she had to kneel down to become a master.
Although she was kneeling to her parents, she was not the real Shui Lianyue, so she felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Unfilial daughter, I will make you kneel down." Shui Yunheng looked even more embarrassed when he saw Shui Lianyue still standing there motionless.
"Plop", with a sound, Shui Lianyue knelt straight on the ground, looking at Shui Yunheng with a pair of phoenix eyes indifferently, without saying a word or humiliating, and even knelt on the ground with Hongying behind her.[
"Where have you been these past years? It has been three years since I heard from you. Now, you are back. But why did you make your whole family unhappy when you came back?" Shui Yunheng was obviously a little excited, and he was vomiting.
Regardless of identity.
Shui Lianyue turned her attention to the eldest lady and looked directly at her. This move scared the eldest lady and trembled, as if she was afraid that she would know something. However, Shui Lianyue did not intend to expose the eldest lady. She
I know that even if I say it now, with the evidence and the fact that my status is so unpopular, I am afraid not many people will believe it.
But she, Shui Lianyue, would be accused of slandering the eldest lady, targeting the eldest lady, having bad conduct, and speaking nonsense.
After thinking about it, Shui Lianyue looked at Shui Yunheng again. Her beautiful face was extremely indifferent at the moment, but without any emotion, she said calmly: "Yue'er did not humiliate aunt, it's just that aunt's personal maid is very arrogant, Yue'er
I'm just teaching you a lesson, but I don't mean to show respect to my aunt."
There was no trace of Shui Lianyue's words about being sold to a brothel, which made the eldest lady feel a big stone in her heart.
Shui Yunheng saw that Shui Lianyue's reply did not match his question, so he couldn't help but become even more angry. He pointed at Shui Lianyue and shouted angrily: "As a father, if I ask you something again, just answer it. What are you talking about?"
