Mr. Mu has always loved Lan Xi. Seeing a look of worry on her face, he also asked, "What's wrong? If you tell me anything, dad will make the decision for you."
The love between father and daughter is really deep, Liu Yun sneered in his heart.
Thinking of the humiliation she suffered that day, how distrustful her father was, and how he ordered people to beat her child to death, she clenched her fists desperately. She warned herself not to be impulsive and to calm down. She could only wait until she became stronger.
, in order to protect yourself, otherwise you will definitely end up in a more tragic end than that day.
"Actually, Lan Xi doesn't know whether to say something or not. If she says it, it will definitely make her unhappy. But if she doesn't say it, it will also affect the reputation of Mu Mansion. Lan Xi is now in a dilemma..." She frowned and lowered her head.
He bowed his head and wrung his hands.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't hesitate." Mr. Mu didn't like people to talk in a roundabout way, so he waved his hand and said, "Say it."
Seeing this, Lan Xi had to look at Liu Yun cautiously, as if she was worried that her sister would be unhappy, and hesitated for a while before saying, "That's right, this morning Lan Xi heard the servants talking about the death of my sister yesterday.
Regarding the matter about Hu, I said that my sister doted on the maid, and she was not punished for her mistakes. Such actions have completely destroyed the rules of Mu Mansion."
As if she had heard a funny joke, Liu Yun twitched the corner of his mouth slightly. Lan Xi was sure that she would not say that she pushed him into the lake like yesterday, or that her father would not believe Liu Yun's words and dare to be so blatant.
She is confusing right and wrong. It seems that she underestimated Lan Xi too much. Her father has always attached great importance to the rules in the house. There are many rules for distinguishing between superior and inferior. Although he is usually very tolerant to his servants, he is extremely strict with those who make mistakes.
Not tolerant.
Liu Yun knew in her heart that even if she wanted to accuse Lan Xi now, she would bite her back because there was no evidence. It would not do her any good, so she would not alert the snake, let alone face her early in her current situation.
There was no benefit, but thankfully yesterday's accusation did not make Lan Xi realize the change in Liu Yun, and she still regarded her as an ignorant and stupid sister.
However, she forgot one thing.
Lan Xi can play the gentle and kind-hearted second lady well, so naturally she can also play the ignorant and simple eldest lady well. Sometimes, ignorance is also a good mask, isn't it?
Seeing that Liu Yun was silent, Xia frowned and said, "That's right. So how do you think the second lady should handle this matter best?"
"Of course it's according to the rules of the Mu family." Lan Xi blinked and replied matter-of-factly. Seeing Master Mu's frown, she immediately added, "My daughter knows that her father is usually considerate of the servants, and she also knows that her sister is kind-hearted, but
This trend cannot last forever. If the servants behave like Qianlan in the future and everyone is thinking of getting lucky, then it will be even harder for us servants in Mu Mansion to manage them in the future."
Lan Xi said clearly, everything was from the perspective of the Mu family. The intolerance between his brows and the perseverance in his eyes made Master Mu admire him very much. It has always been his style to clearly distinguish rewards and punishments. Now that Qianlan has made a mistake, he deserves to be punished. He was originally guilty of cheating.
Yun's sensible and relieved heart also disappeared, and he felt that Liu Yun seemed to be too protective of his shortcomings, and couldn't help but frown.
When things developed to this point, Liu Yun almost applauded Lan Xi, but just a few words made her father change his mind. It was Lan Xi who knew her father best, but if Liu Yun would compromise so easily, then
Lan Xi underestimated her too much.
"Lan Xi is right, that's how it should be." Master Mu nodded, fully agreeing with Lan Xi's statement.
"Sister, don't blame me for being meddlesome. I am also thinking about my sister. They may not appreciate my sister's kindness to my servants. By then, it will be too late to deal with it if it causes trouble for my sister." Lan Xi wiped away the pride in her eyes.
She was determined that Liuyun would not protect Qianlan. Even if she said in front of her father that she pushed Liuyun, she would have already thought of an excuse to excuse herself. She was not stupid Liuyun.
If you dare to come here again, you must be well prepared.
Liu Yun did not miss the confidence in Lan Xi's eyes, and snorted coldly in his heart, since she likes acting, then she should accompany her to act.
Liu Yun looked at her father, seeming a little hesitant, "Lan Xi only knew one thing but not the other. My daughter didn't want to tell her at first, but now if she doesn't explain this matter clearly, it would be unfair to Qianlan and it would be in vain.
It’s misleading.”
"Is there any sequel to this matter?" Mr. Mu asked with raised eyebrows, and Lan Xi's eyes paused.
"Yesterday, my daughter and Lan Xi were standing by the lake. There was only Lan Xi's maid Xiaotong next to her. I didn't know what happened at that time, but my daughter felt she was pushed by someone and fell into the lake. At that time, my daughter was so scared that she just looked at her.
I struggled for help. Yesterday, I thought it was Lan Xi who pushed my daughter, and I argued with her for a few words. Later, when I thought about it carefully, it was very strange. Lan Xi was standing next to her daughter, while the only person standing behind her was Xiaotong." Liu.
Yun paused for a moment after saying this and turned to Master Mu, "My daughter doesn't want to publicize this matter. After all, it is our Mu family's family matter. If outsiders find out, they might laugh at our Mu family's discipline of the servants."
There is no solution.”
"You mean it was Xiaotong who pushed you? This girl is so audacious that she dares to plot against my daughter." Mr. Mu slammed the table and ordered toward the door, "Catch Xiaotong.
stand up."
Lan Xi, who was beaten down, was stunned, but she reacted quickly and said quickly, "Dad, Xiaotong follows my daughter since she was a child. My daughter understands her nature. She will not do such a thing. There must be something in this."
What a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding? Does my sister mean that I have wronged your maid? A little girl, how can I, the legitimate daughter of the Mu Mansion, still wrong a little maid?" Liu Yun snorted coldly, with a face full of displeasure, "Just now
Isn’t my sister still saying that if this matter is settled hastily, I’m afraid people will be accused of us, Miss Mu Mansion, for shielding the servants?”
"That's not what I meant." Lan Xi bit her lip and lowered her head timidly.
Seeing his two daughters like this, Mr. Mu naturally frowned and wanted to speak, but Xia pulled his sleeves, shook his head at him, and said gently, "This matter can be big or small, and it doesn't matter if it is an unintentional mistake."
Well, if someone has the intention to harm others, then our master will definitely not tolerate such a person in Mu's house. Besides, this girl is the second young lady's person after all. If someone with intentions finds out about this, people will add insult to injury and say that we are Mu.
The ladies of the house are plotting against each other, and things will become difficult to deal with."
Mr. Xia has always known Mr. Mu. He usually doesn't like to pay attention to the affairs of the house, and he turns a blind eye to the jealousy in the backyard. But this doesn't mean that he really doesn't know anything. Once the backyard
The incident was too noisy and hurt the Mu family's face, and he was determined not to tolerate it.
"Master, don't be too quick to get angry. I think this matter is probably a misunderstanding. Xiaotong has always been well-behaved and sensible, so she shouldn't do such stupid things. Besides, she is the second young lady's maid after all. If this matter spreads, who knows?
What will she be said to be? The eldest lady is the apple of the eye of the master, so naturally she cannot bear such grievances, but the eldest lady has always understood the truth and will not use the reputation of the Mu family just to vent her anger." Xia said.
After finishing, he glanced at Liuyun and gently handed the tea cup to Mr. Mu's hand.
