Chapter 44: One More Person

  Chapter Forty-Four: One More Person

  "Mother, how can this be? How can we leave Bi'er in the mansion with such a good opportunity?! What if we miss out on a good family because of this..." Madam Liu was stunned for an instant when she heard the lady's words, almost thinking she had misheard. When she saw the lady's serious and solemn expression, she immediately became anxious and opened her mouth to speak.

  "With such a temperament, what kind of good family do you expect her to find? The better she marries, the more miserable she'll be!" Madam directly refused to listen to Liu Dainai's words: "My mind is made up, Erjie will stay at home, no one needs to say anything else!"

  "But... how can Liu Dà Niáng be willing? Her own daughter won't follow her to the Weibei Marquis's residence, yet she's taking a concubine-born daughter instead. How can she bear it?"

  "Spring is clear, and you haven't taken the second sister back to her room yet." The madam didn't give Liu Dainai a chance to speak, quickly instructing the big servant girl beside her, as if she had made some kind of decision. She looked at the others in the house and said: "You all remember, this time when we go to the Weibei Hou Mansion, observe more and listen more. Except for greeting the elders, unless they ask you, don't say a word."

  Liu Rong looked at Madame with a hint of surprise, this was not like her usual behavior. If it were any other day, Madame would have turned a blind eye and let it pass. But today she was so resolute. However, thinking about Liu Mei's previous behavior, Liu Rong understood.

  The madam probably understood one thing from Liu Mei's behavior today, that this mansion relies on these children who have not been taught well to marry into good families and help the family. Who knows if they will even be able to help or instead become enemies with those relatives. Not letting them talk too much in the Wei Bei Hou Fu is probably also to avoid saying something wrong, so as not to give people a bad impression of the Wen Ding Hou Fu, at least maintaining a neutral impression.

  Poor Mrs. Big is having a hard time and still thinks of such a way.

  "I don't want to, I don't want to go back to the house, I want to go to the Weibei Hou Mansion!" Liu Mei saw Chun Qing walking towards her and finally understood that the madam was not joking. She couldn't help but shout: "Mother, mother, please help your daughter! This time going to the Weibei Hou Mansion will definitely allow us to meet the Fourth Master of the Capital, maybe... maybe we can..."

  "Bang!"

  When Liu Dainai heard what Liu Bi said, she was stunned. When she saw the gaze of the big madam sweeping over, she hadn't reacted yet and slapped her with a loud slap. However, after slapping her, she felt both angry and heartbroken. This child is so muddled today! If others hear about this or it gets spread around, it will be hard for us to find a good family for her in the future!

  It's just that in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret, thinking that the current situation was a result of how he had toyed with Liu Rong previously, and he couldn't help but shoot her a resentful glance.

  This is her most beloved daughter! Normally, let alone hit, she wouldn't even dare touch a single finger!

  It's all Liu Rong, it's all Liu Rong's fault!

  If it weren't for this damn cheap thing, Meng'er wouldn't have said such things and suffered such grievances! She would never allow her own daughter to suffer grievances and then let this concubine-born girl climb up!

  "Mother, although Mang'er was wrong, Rong'er was also wrong. Since we're keeping Mang'er in the manor, to be fair, we should also keep Liu Rong here." Madam Liu said quickly to the old mistress.

  Dong Er's face changed, and he looked at Liu Ruo with concern, worried that because of Grandma Liu's words, Liu Ruo would not be able to follow him to the Weibei Marquis' residence.

  Liu Rong's eyes were fixed on her nose, and her nose was focused on her heart, with no trace of worry on her face.

  The madam frowned, glanced at Liu Dà Nǎi Nai, and completely disregarded her words. Instead, she quickly repeated the order to Chun Qing: "Hurry up and take Er Jie back!"

  Liu Bi covered her face with a silly expression, and only when she heard the lady's words did she seem to react and understand that this time she absolutely could not follow Liu Rong to the Weibei Marquis' residence. She couldn't help but glare at Liu Rong with an ugly expression: "It's all your fault! You made me speak carelessly, so I won't be able to go to the Weibei Marquis' residence. You're just a concubine-born daughter, yet you dare to compete with me? You will not have a good outcome! You absolutely will not have a good outcome!"

  Liu Bi's face was too ferocious, and Dong Er was so frightened that she couldn't help but retreat behind Liu Rong, her hands grasping Liu Rong's arm.

  Liu Rong's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and upon hearing Liu Ping's words, her brow didn't even flinch.

  What she dislikes most are those who have problems themselves but never reflect on their own actions, instead they shift the blame to others.

  But as soon as Liu Bi thought about it, she knew that in such a situation, some things couldn't be said. But Liu Bi not only said them, but also didn't know where she was wrong and blamed others instead. Such a child is simply spoiled by Liu Dainai, if she doesn't change, for now it's okay at home, but once she leaves the Wen Dinghou Mansion, she will only start to suffer.

  But these have nothing to do with her, she has never been the kind of person who would offer her right cheek after being slapped on the left. Liu Nainai's own spoiled children will give her headaches later!

  Chun Qing looked at Er Jie's performance and was stunned. She quickly called the little maid beside her and together they took Liu Mei out of the main hall.

  For a moment, the hall was silent.

  "Alright, I wanted to remind you of some details today, but it seems like nothing needs to be reminded now. Once we arrive at the Wei Bei Hou's residence, just pay attention to etiquette and remember what I previously told you." After being disturbed by her second sister, the madam looked tired and didn't want to say anything more: "Let's go now, the carriage has been waiting outside."

  After Madam Zhang finished speaking, Rouge hastily stepped forward and supported Madam Zhang.

  On the side, Liu Xuan, who wanted to stop Liu Rong from going to the Weibei Hou Mansion, finally didn't speak up, but her eyes slightly moved, as if calculating something. When Madame Wang walked out with Liu Dainai following behind, she also glanced at Liu Rong when passing by her side, it was unclear whether it was intentional or not.

  This glance made Dong Er, who was always dazed and confused, suddenly become alert, and he couldn't help but want to say something to Liu Rong. However, Liu Rong calmly looked back at him with a neutral expression.

  Liu Rong's expression was so calm, but it made Liu Xuan's face sink.

  Liu Rong didn't care and waited until everyone had left the main hall before following them out.

  "Miss..." Dong'er, who was following behind Liu Rong, couldn't help but change her tone to a worried one. Liu Rong comfortingly shook her head at Dong'er before continuing on.

  As they approached the main gate, the person in front suddenly stopped, and Dong Er, who had been worried all along, almost bumped into him. It was Liu Rong who grabbed Dong Er's arm just in time to stop her.

  Just as Liu Rong looked up, she saw someone who was absolutely beyond her expectation! Was she also going to follow along?

  Only to see the fourth sister, Liu Fu, who should be facing the wall in the Buddhist hall, wearing a peach-red embroidered flower skirt, standing beside the second lady in front of the carriage. When she saw Liu Rong looking at her, she smiled at Liu Rong with an arc that was natural yet inexplicably colder than the winter temperature.

  Liu Rong couldn't help but slightly furrow her brow.

  "Eldest sister, I've asked Madame Tai to let Liu Fu go with us to the Weibei Marquis's residence..."
