Chapter 48

"This old slave doesn't like to hear these words, Second Miss, don't forget, the master told me to teach the rules. I didn't come here by myself. If it wasn't for the second lady's misbehavior, why would I alarm the master and order me to come here?" To teach the lady how to behave?"

Yes, if you didn't have no rules yourself, how could you alert others to come and teach you the rules.Lu Mingmei was choked up for a moment, her eyes glanced up and down on Madam Du before she sneered, "I have no rules? I think it must be you, a shameless old slave, gossiping at my father, so That’s why my father thinks I’m unruly! Today I’ll show you what it means to be unruly!”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Mingmei jumped up and slapped Mama Du's face with a slap. Mama Du didn't avoid the slap, but stood there without moving.

After slapping Mama Du, Lu Mingmei still seemed puzzled, picked up the soup bowl on the table and threw it at Mama Du.

"Stop!" Lu Hengtao is taking a rest today. After finishing his business in the study, he is going to have dinner in the Liuliyuan. On the way, he heard that Mama Du is still in the Liuliyuan. Taking the opportunity to teach Lu Mingmei something, he deliberately slowed down.

This time, he arrived at Liuliyuan right behind Chu Lingyue.

But he came in time, just after Lu Mingmei finished yelling and let everyone know what it means to be unruly, he entered the courtyard gate of the Liuliyuan. He heard a "snap" on the way. When he got to the door, he happened to see Lu Mingmei splashing the West Lake beef soup from the kitchen on Mother Du's face.

He hurriedly opened his mouth to reprimand, but it was still a step too late. A large bowl of West Lake beef soup was splashed on Mama Du's face, and flowed all over Mama Du's neck.

Seeing Lu Hengtao approaching, the people in the room quickly saluted.Lu Mingmei stopped making trouble, her face changed, and she threw herself into Lu Hengtao's arms and cried: "If daddy doesn't like my daughter, just tell her, she's going to become a monk and become a sister-in-law, why bother here suffer such disdain.”

Lu Hengtao pushed Lu Mingmei away, looked at the people in the room with a calm face and said angrily: "What's going on!"

Everyone in the room lowered their heads and dared not speak, even Chu Lingyue stood there wiping away tears.Seeing this, Lu Hengtao relaxed a little and asked Chu Lingyue first: "Lingyue, tell me what's going on. Why did Mama Du get a slap when she was doing well?"

"Going back to father, my daughter came a bit late, and my daughter didn't know what happened before, but after she came here, my sister kept saying that Mama Du belonged to my daughter, and that she had no rules because Mama Du sued her father. , so that she can deliberately torture my sister. Father, my daughter is so innocent, my daughter doesn’t even know what my sister has done, and even Mama Du came to teach my sister how to behave, I only found out when I came back from Taixue at noon.”

Chu Lingyue took out a handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes, wiping away the few tears she had left. She spoke intermittently, as if she had been greatly wronged.

"Mingmei, this matter really has nothing to do with your sister. It was caused by the boy who kicked the gatekeeper of Cangsong Pavilion yesterday. It is because my father saw that you were too arrogant and wanted to find someone to take care of you. Temperament." Lu Hengtao also wondered how everything could be related to Chu Lingyue, but after thinking about it, Chu Lingyue's character is not unbearable for such a little thing, why bother to wipe it in front of him at this time? tears.

"Ling Yue, is there nothing else?"

Seeing that Lu Hengtao kept asking Chu Lingyue, Sun Qionghe was anxious to get angry, but he didn't dare to add fuel to the fire at this time.Even if Lu Hengtao pampered Lu Mingmei again, Lu Mingmei just kicked the doorman in front of him last night and called up Mama Du who was here today to teach him how to behave.

Being angry, he would never show his fatherly affection at this time, which is why he kept asking Chu Lingyue.

Sun Qionghe raised his head and gave Chu Lingyue a pitiful look, as if pleading, but also as if showing weakness.

The corners of Chu Lingyue's lips hooked slightly, and then disappeared quickly. She lowered her head and replied, "Father, that's all I know. But my sister did a little too much. Yesterday, she even kicked me. The doorkeeper in front of my father's door, isn't that..."

Appropriately stopped the Huatou, leaving people a lot of room for reverie.

If you kick the boy in front of your door today, tomorrow your forehead might be imprinted with embroidered shoes.

If Lu Hengtao didn't think it was too much, he wouldn't ask Mother Du to teach Lu Mingmei the rules, but at this time he still instinctively defended Lu Mingmei, and just wanted to say that Lu Mingmei was just young, so he just taught him, but it turned out Mei Xiang knelt down at his feet and kowtowed heavily.

"Your Excellency is aware that what Eldest Miss said is not true."

Chu Lingyue's words made Sun Qionghe feel relieved, but Mei Xiang's words immediately lifted Sun Qionghe's heart.At the same time, Lu Hengtao was also concerned. He glanced at Mei Xiang suspiciously, and nodded for her to continue.

"Master, when the young lady entered the door, we all clearly heard the second young lady say that the young lady is such a scumbag! The young one grew up with the young lady, you don't need to believe what we slaves say, Mama Du He is an old man, he has never favored anyone, you can ask Second Miss if she has ever said such a thing."

Mei Xiang's words were convincing, and her face was calm, Lu Hengtao didn't need to ask to know that she was not lying or spreading rumors.In my heart, I felt that this was just a joke, but this was not the time to be biased.If you don't stop this kind of talking at this time, if the direct minister in the court finds out in the future, you will be reprimanded again.It's nothing more than reprimanding, if the world thinks that she may not be good to outsiders if she can say that about her eldest sister, it will inevitably affect her own future.

"Mingmei, apologize to your sister quickly!" He asked Lu Mingmei to apologize, but everyone knew that there was not much sincerity in these words.

Naturally, Chu Lingyue also knew that it was best to show her generosity at this time, "My sister is young and has no intentions, so why would a sister care about her?"

The words are good words, which appropriately express Chu Lingyue's generosity and Lu Mingmei's domineering and outspokenness.Lu Hengtao also sensed something was wrong inside, looked up at Chu Lingyue, and saw that her face was calm, without the slightest trace of treacherous complacency, and felt that he was being supercilious, but a 13-year-old child, how can there be so many twists and turns? Curved around.

Lu Mingmei was still crying, pulled Lu Hengtao and kept talking about Du's mother, Lu Hengtao was quarreled one by one, and suddenly felt that Chu Lingyue knew how to advance and retreat.

"Shut up! Mama Du was hired by me to let you learn the rules. It's good for you. You didn't learn the rules, and you even poured soup all over Mama Du. You don't know your mistake!"

Lu Hengtao finally couldn't bear it anymore, and loudly reprimanded Lu Mingmei.Lu Mingmei, who had never been treated like this before, was taken aback, tears rolled in her eyes but did not dare to fall.

Seeing that, Sun Qionghe couldn't bear it, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her over, pointing to Mama Du who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Mingmei, please admit your mistake to Mama Du."

Being pulled by Sun Qionghe, Lu Mingmei also came back to his senses, not only did not admit his mistake to Mama Du, but even worsened, "I'm not wrong, why should I admit it, dad, you must not be confused by them! It's Chu Ling Yue encouraged her to come and trouble me!"

At this time, he is still obsessed with his obsession, and Lu Hengtao wishes he hadn't had this daughter.Who is Mama Du, who can remain indifferent after being beaten like this?
"My lord, please forgive me for my incompetence. Second Miss, I can't teach you any more." Before Lu Hengtao could teach Lu Mingmei a lesson, Mother Du began to add fuel to the flames, "Today, this old slave was ordered to teach Miss etiquette. Since It's teaching, I don't dare to ask the second young lady to be a half-teacher, but I only ask that the second young lady can read it and feel at ease under the painstaking efforts of the master and Aunt Sun, and learn etiquette well so that the master and Aunt Sun can save their minds. I know that I am not talented enough to teach Second Miss, but what I have done today is clear of conscience and in line with the law and etiquette, if Second Miss is dissatisfied with this old slave, if this is the case, this old slave will not teach, and please ask the master to find someone else."

Speaking of this, Mother Du also had tears in her eyes, with great resentment, "Thinking of me, Mrs. Du, although I am a first-rank female official who is still registered in the palace, but I have served my whole life in Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, when was I humiliated like this! Master, Second Miss is really stubborn, please forgive me for being incompetent and unable to help Master discipline!"

It was Lu Hengtao who asked Mrs. Du to teach him how to behave. As a result, Mrs. Du was so humiliated that she couldn't say no to it, at least she was refuted by Lu Mingmei.

"Look at what you look like now. You beat someone up and didn't know you were wrong, but the villain complained first!" Lu Hengtao pushed Lu Mingmei, pushed her to Mama Du's side and asked with a cold face: "Would you like me again?" Ask you one last time, do you admit to this mistake or not!"

"I'm right! Dad, I'm right!" Lu Mingmei still refused to admit his mistake, pointing at Mama Du and began to cry, "Dad, don't you know what she said? Not to mention, it’s not even as good as a servant, but it’s just a concubine’s room, she can’t serve meals, and even makes her daughter sit and stand all morning! Dad, have you ever seen such a tossing about religious rules!”

"When you learn the rules, you have to practice many times. What's the use of talking on paper without practicing! Didn't your sister sit and stand thousands of times when she learned the rules from Cheng's mother? Why can't you do it! It seems I am too arrogant to indulge you, come here, lock up the second young lady to the ancestral hall, and don't allow food for three meals, when will you know what's wrong and when will you let me out!"

Lu Hengtao was so angry that Lu Mingmei was so crying, compared to Chu Lingyue who wanted to excuse others even if he was wronged, Lu Mingmei was more annoying.
