C39 Father and daughter meeting
On the other side, his mother had just picked up the teacup when she heard a burst of sobbing outside. She frowned and said, "Who's making a ruckus outside? It gives me a headache."
"Madame, the second madam is there. She said that the eldest miss beat up the second miss and ran over to ask for the madame's help." The person who replied was the favorite girl in front of her mother, Miss Huang Cen. She was wearing a homemade matching short skirt, peach embroidered silk skirt, jade earring, and green butterfly hairpin.
Lian Rou's hand that was holding the teacup lightly paused, and a knot appeared between her eyebrows. "She's back?"
"Eldest Miss arrived at noon." Wearing silk clothing and a jade bracelet on her wrist and a red hairpin on her head, Senior Servant Song replied, "I followed your instructions and entered the back door."
Lian Mu sighed and said, "Why is there an accident right after you returned!?" "Let the second brother come in."
As soon as she finished speaking, the curtain was opened and Hu Shi walked in crying and screaming. She pulled Lian Xin to her knees and said:
"The madame is in charge, or the two of us really won't be able to live any longer. The brothel is really going too far!"
"Big Sis is bullying me. Grandmother, look at my face. Look at my appearance, how can I face anyone?"
"Enough, don't cry! The people who were crying were confused. What do you think is going on? " Lian Mu's mother asked with a displeased expression.
"After knowing that elder sister is returning home today, we sisters made a small joke with her. Who knew that after angering her, she ignored her sisterhood and slapped me in the face in front of everyone. Sun Daughter really can't take this lying down, so I request the Old Ancestor to make the decision."
Hu Shi sobbed, wiping her tears with an embroidered handkerchief, and said, "I know the Old Ancestor likes peace and quiet, so he shouldn't have come to disturb us. But, but I really can't swallow this. Why are we, the children of the second branch, being debased by this big house again and again?! You know very well how Yun Lang went there! This time, we are being bullied again. The Old Ancestor must help us take responsibility. "
When his mother heard this, she frowned. She became more and more dissatisfied with her granddaughter Lian Xiyue, which was why she had committed such a humiliating scandal in Yao City. Now that she had come back and caused so much trouble, she didn't even understand the principle of keeping a low profile.
Feeling vexed, she coldly said:
"Huang Cen, send someone to get her."
"Yes." Huang Cen gave the other two maidservants at the entrance a meaningful glance. Hu Shi and Lian Xin looked at each other secretly to see how Lian Ruyue was going to explain herself in front of the madame. The madame was just angry that she didn't have an excuse to punish this granddaughter of hers for her shameful act.
"Eldest Miss has arrived."
Moments later, the curtain was lifted and Lian Yue, like the moon, walked in. She saw with a single glance that Lian Mu was sitting on a chair with an unkind expression. The person who was quietly pruning the potted plant was her aunt, Lian Xi.
This aunt Lian Xi had just gotten married for a year and then her husband died, so she didn't leave behind any children. Logically speaking, a woman that had already left the pavilion wouldn't be able to return to her mother's home, but since her mother's pitiful daughter was going to be widowed by her husband at the age of sixteen, she asked the empress to bring her back to the estate to stay by her side. Lian Meng Yue remembered that this aunt spent all her time in meditation. She had a dull personality and had lived in seclusion for a long time. In her previous life, the two of them had not interacted much.
As for the Hu mother and daughter, their faces were covered with tears as they knelt on the ground. She remained calm and collected as she knelt in front of the madame and kowtowed three times firmly. "Ruyue greets the Old Ancestor, Second Aunt and Aunt."
Lian Rou glanced at Lian Ruyue. She wore a silky white silk dress with a quilt collar and a snow-white fox fur coat. On her chignon was a lilac hairpin inlaid with purple jade. She looked very charming.
The madame sighed inwardly. Originally, she was dressed up as a good sapling, but alas, she did not like herself that much.
It was a pity that both of them did not live up to expectations. Especially since the two of them were like the moon, causing such an ugly incident when they had just reached the age of marriage, leaving her and the Prime Minister no longer with any face at all. Now they had to think of a way to keep this a secret, so as to avoid tarnishing the Prime Minister's reputation and implicating Shufei in gossip within the palace.
Lian Ruyue did not raise her head to look at the madame. However, recalling her past life, she only felt reverence for her grandmother and not close to her. Just by thinking about it, one could tell how she felt about her.
"Madam, the prime minister has arrived." Right at this moment, the maid who was guarding the door said this. Just as she finished speaking, the curtain opened and Lian Yan Qing walked in.
Lian Ruyue raised her head and looked at her father. From the looks of it, he was still wearing a blue robe, white socks, black shoes, and a golden crown. The green ribbon and tie hung below his chin, tied with a golden hairpin.
Lian Rue Yue quietly gazed at this man. He was her biological father, around thirty years old, at the best time for a man, tall and handsome, exuding a dignified and cold aura. He was the pillar of the Prime Minister's Estate, and it was also he who refused to listen to her explanation and blindly believed that Aunt Xiao was provoking him and that her mother and she would be ignored.
In her previous life, the relationship between father and daughter had always been cold ever since she had returned to the Prime Minister's Estate.
No matter who the daughter of the Lian family was married to, he would personally gift her rare items. Only when she married Feng Qianyue did she not receive his gift, and Feng Qianyue later on ridiculed her for it. Finally, with an air of tenacity, she ascended the rear. But as her mother, the Prime Minister's Estate had never plotted anything for her. It was extremely difficult for her to live in the harem until she was uprooted by Lian Shiya!
At that time, she was imprisoned in Zhao tai Palace and was sent to prison. She even wrote a letter of blood with her last hope and secretly let the palace girl risk her life to deliver it to him. In that letter of blood, she cried like she was crying and every word was like blood.
Thinking up to here, her heart ached and her eyes felt a bit hot. However, no matter how emotional she was, in the end she could only respectfully greet him, "Father."
Lian Yan Qing didn't look at her and walked up to his mother. "Mother, what has upset you?"
Lian Luo pouted at Lian Ruyue's direction. Only then did Lian Yan Qing look over at her. His eyes were filled with disgust. He sighed and asked, "What did you do to make your grandmother unhappy?"
"Father." Lian Ruyue lightly sighed in her heart and adjusted her mood. She said, "It's because my daughter hit Second Sister."
"Listen, listen, madame, uncle, listen to the tone of this young miss!" When the Hu family heard her confident tone, their anger flared up. If it wasn't for the madame's territory, she would have rushed up to tear her apart twice!
