  Ding Rou turned her head upon hearing the voice, it was the young master she met by the clear spring. Beside him wasnt her cousin who had been searching for her just now, but a different miss in apricot red clothes. Indeed, her brother-in-law was quite amorous. The gaze of that miss towards Ding Rou carried a strong warning, Ding Rou ignored the young masters accusations and supported Mrs. Liu saying: "Mother, lets head down the mountain."

  Liu couldnt remain as calm as Ding Rou, seeing the young masters attire, with a large red pearl crown on his head, he must be from a royal or noble family. Liu worried that he would take a liking to her daughter and take her away to be a concubine. Having been a concubine all her life, how could she let her daughter follow in her footsteps? In this regard, Liu was not completely ignorant, she was resigned to her fate.

  "Xiao Rou." Mrs. Liu grasped Ding Rous hand tightly, fearing someone would snatch her daughter away and resenting her own inability to protect her. As the wealthy young master approached hastily, Mrs. Liu, despite being intimidated by his fierce demeanor, pulled Ding Rou behind her, trembling, "Young Master, it was our Xiao Rous fault, please forgive her."

  "Mother." Ting Ruo was moved by Liu Shis defense of her, but she didnt like how Liu Shi was being overly humble and servile. Ting Ruo pulled Liu Shi back, "Firstly, I dont know him, secondly, I havent offended him. As a young master from a prestigious family, he has an extraordinary temperament and is broad-minded. He must have mistaken me for someone else. Mother, dont be afraid."

  Ding Rou emphasized again that he was extraordinary in temperament and broad-minded, but his tone became heavier. As for someone like him who had been spoiled since childhood, a rich second-generation official, Ding Rou had seen many of them before. He responded calmly, "Dont you recognize me? I am the Second Young Master of the Zhen Nan Marquis Manor, surname Li. Now that we know each other, whats with the offense against me? Dont you understand?"

  The Marquis of Zhen Nans estate, Li Gongzi, was close to Ding Rou. When Liu Shi heard the name "Marquis of Zhen Nans estate", her legs softened. The Marquis of Zhen Nans estate was one of the five major marquises who founded the country. How did Ding Rou offend the young master of the Marquis of Zhen Nans estate? Even with the Ding familys status, it would be difficult to speak on equal terms with the Marquis of Zhen Nans estate. In Great Qin, there was an unwritten rule: first came the meritorious nobles, then the court officials. Families with titles had a higher social standing. Liu Shi bit her lip and blocked Li Gongzi, bowing repeatedly. "Sorry, sorry, Young Master, Ill bring Xiao Rou to apologize."

  Lius family was about to cry, and her daughter, who was protected behind her back, slightly lowered her head, unable to see any change in expression. Li Rongbao had a feeling that Ding Rou was not afraid of him, nor did she seem infatuated with him like others. It wasnt that she was pretending to be aloof, nor was it that she was playing hard to get. It was as if he simply didnt exist in her eyes. Li Rongbao even had the thought that if they werent in front of her mother, the little girl in front of him wouldnt have bothered to say a word to him.

  "Xiao Rou, quickly apologize to Young Master Li, Xiao Rou." Mrs. Liu urged, then remembered that DIng Rou originally had a strong personality, Ding Rou rarely backed down, but her daughter had always been very familiar with the noble families and would not miss any opportunity, Ding Rou had said before that she wanted to marry a marquis and enjoy all the wealth and glory, not like Second Miss who married a low-ranking official from a humble background, so Ding Rou should be very concerned about the young master of the noble family, how come she was silent now? "Xiao Rou, say something, just one sentence is fine."

  Ding Ruo raised her eyes, calm and peaceful, and asked slowly: "Young Master, is it my fault?"

  To make the Liu family feel at ease, Ting Ruo is willing to admit her mistake. The Southern Town Dukes Mansion is a huge entity, and Ting Ruo has no interest in competing with the spoiled young master of the dukes mansion. Ting Ruo is not a fallen princess or a Cinderella waiting for a white horse prince. She plays the role of an evil female supporting character who bullies the kind-hearted heroine and is despised by everyone. The Ding family will not let Ting Ruo make enemies with the Southern Town Dukes Mansion, even if the young master in front of her shows a hint of dissatisfaction. Ting Ruo and Liu Shi are afraid that they wont be able to stay on the Zhuangzi (a place for widows or unmarried women) and will be sent directly to the ancestral temple to become nuns.

  "Admitting mistakes? How can he admit mistakes?" Li Gongzi was even more surprised than Ding Rous refusal to admit mistakes, had he himself misjudged Ding Rou? With a suspicious gaze, Ding Rou timely displayed shyness, her charming eyes sparkling as she said: "Young Master."

  Li Rongbao dodged to the side, thinking he had found an interesting little girl, but... Li Rongbao showed disdain and said "You all leave quickly."

  "Yes, thank you, Young Master Li." After bowing her head, the woman hastily left with Ding Xiang, who continued to show humility and hung her head in shame. Although Ding Xiang had experienced humiliation before, this memory was too distant for her. She had a million ways to shut down Young Master Lis words and momentarily feel satisfied, but she couldnt bear the consequences that would follow. Before gaining absolute power, it was best to blend in with the crowd. A simple apology allowed them to leave safely. If Ding Xiang were to show off or pique Young Master Lis interest, who knows if he would become enraged or find her intriguing and frequently tease her? Even if he didnt, could she afford to offend the young ladies from wealthy families surrounding him? In her past life, Ding Xiang had scoffed at the plot of Meteor Garden. Was Shan Cai a grassroots heroine? She was afraid that others wouldnt notice her, so she acted in such an ostentatious manner, yet still managed to receive the unwavering love of a wealthy young master until death - it was nothing but a fairy tale.

  In her previous life, Ding Rou was a half-working and half-studying university student who relied on scholarships to complete her studies. Apart from being busy with the student union, she also had to work part-time to support her younger sister, Ding Min. Although Ding Rou didnt mind suffering herself, she provided a relatively comfortable environment for Ding Min. Every penny that Ding Min spent was earned by Ding Rou, and it wasnt that no one offered to sponsor or support Ding Rou - they were all rejected by her. It wasnt that Ding Rou was pretending to be noble, but rather she believed that she would also make a name for herself. The more pressure she faced, the more she felt alive and living a vibrant life.

  Ding Ruo couldnt help but think that she had been too good to Ding Min, who always thought that as long as she said a word of apology, Ding Ruo would forgive her, and as long as she said a word of "I want", Ding Ruo would give in to her. She was too good to Ding Min, who took everything for granted, not knowing that what Ding Min wanted was to never cross Ding Ruos bottom line. In the mental hospital where she spent her old age, Ding Min had plenty of time to reflect and repent.

  Ding Hui glanced back, seeing Li Gongzi and the young lady pointing at the dawn glow and laughing. Ding Rou hooked up the corner of her mouth, this sentence of apology, Ill remember it for now. Li Gongzi, dont give me a chance to take revenge, my heart is not big, its easy to hold grudges.

  "Xiao Rou, its alright." Madame Liu comforted Ding Rou, "Dont take it to heart, a word of apology is necessary when one is under someone elses roof. Xiao Rou, mother is doing this for your own good, Young Master Li is not someone we can afford to offend."

  "Mother, I understand," said Ding Rou with a smile. How could she not know what was on Lius mind? "Mother, dont worry, he is too busy to think of me, a mere passerby. Young Master Li has too many ladies to attend to."

  After climbing the mountain for a while, the elegant and refined Li Gongzi had already changed two female companions. Ding Rou thought that since she was from the Town South Marquiss residence, her sisters must be numerous. Judging by Li Gongzis appearance, he would cherish and pity even the maidservants. Supporting Liu Shi, Ding Rou went down the mountain.
