With one sentence, Du Ruo's face froze instantly.
She looked at Qin Shaojing with a sarcastic smile across from her in astonishment.
She is Cheng Yunshuo's cousin...the eldest lady of the Duke of Qin's palace? !
"These people really have dog eyes! It's ridiculous to see that everyone is the aunt of the prince! Can the eldest lady of our family be the aunt!"
Qin Shaojing's mother-in-law ridiculed him mercilessly.
In an instant, Du Ruo's face turned redder.
Qin Shaojing snorted coldly, glanced sideways at Du Ruo, said hello to Lu Lingjun, and then led someone to take him away from Du Ruo in a swaggering manner.
Du Ruo's face turned redder.
I was so embarrassed that I had to find a way to get in.
At this time, Lu Lingjun's voice came, "Shao Jing just came to my house a few days ago. It's normal that you don't recognize him. I'll introduce him to you after dinner."
Du Ruo nodded shyly, "Okay."
At dinner time, Cheng Yunshuo did not come back. He was looking at the files in the Captain's Mansion, planning to handle a few more cases before the imperial guard selection.
Lu Lingjun invited Qin Shaojing to her yard for dinner.
"Shao Jing, let me introduce to you, this is Du Ruo, the sister of Yun Shuo's colleague," Lu Lingjun took the initiative after everyone met, "Her aunt is sick and will stay at our house for a while."
After listening to the introduction, Qin Shaojing raised his eyebrows slightly. Du Ruo, who was sitting opposite, stood up first, raised his glass cheerfully and said, "Ms. Cousin, I was the one who was rude this afternoon. I, Aruo, apologize to you, so we can count on it." We don’t know each other without fighting, how about we be friends.”
Qin Shaojing listened to her bold words and said, "If we don't fight, we won't get to know each other? Miss Du is so bold."
Du Ruo continued, "I'm the first to speak, and I don't understand all the twists and turns. Please forgive me, cousin!"
Qin Shaojing didn't speak, but her mother-in-law said, "What do you mean by talking first? What do you mean by not understanding the twists and turns? How do you feel that your words are saying that we bully you?"
"Ms. Cousin, that's not what I meant." Du Ruo frowned and turned from grandma to Qin Shaojing, "I just don't think this is a big deal, let's just have a drink and forget it."
Qin Shaojing's nanny sneered again, "Miss Du, you are really arrogant. You have humiliated our eldest daughter and then exposed it without saying it was a big deal. What do you mean by this? Are you saying that our lady is stingy without exposing it?"
"That's right, you started talking about us, and you talked about us in a roundabout way. Why don't you just beat around the bush and say that our lady is not as magnanimous as you!"
"If there are no rules, there are no rules. Just lower your head and say that you don't understand the rules and ask for your forgiveness, Miss. There are so many words!"
Qin Shaojing's people said one after another.
Du Ruo was speechless and looked at Lu Lingyun as if asking for help.
Lu Lingjun coughed slightly, and the scene immediately fell silent. Lu Lingjun looked at Qin Shaojing who was sitting upright, "Shaojing, Du Ruo is Yun Shuo's nominal apprentice. Yun Shuo said that she had a hard life. She lost her mother when she was young, and there are only two people in the family. Brother, I have been staying at my aunt's house for a long time, and no one has taught her anything to teach her. She also realized her mistake today. For my sake, please forgive her."
Lu Lingjun said this, how could Qin Shaojing not give him face? She raised her eyes and looked at Du Ruo who looked embarrassed across the way.
"It turns out that Miss Du has such a rough life." Qin Shaojing squinted his eyes and did not take Du Ruo's glass of wine. "I won't drink any more wine. Let's forget about it. Sister-in-law, let's eat."
"Yes, let's eat." Lu Lingjun looked at Du Ruo who was standing.
Du Ruo saw the person opposite picking up chopsticks and starting to eat. She drank down the wine in one gulp and sat down to eat.
Qin Shaojing got up and left after only a few mouthfuls.
After she left, Du Ruo couldn't help but his face fell, "Master's wife, I just told you that women are troublesome and it's really difficult to deal with them."
Lu Lingjun: "..."
Du Ruo put down his chopsticks with a look of displeasure on his face, "It's better to stay at my brother's house. There are all these messy things. I have never encountered any of this in the Duwei Mansion."
She said every word with disgust.
Lu Lingjun raised his eyes slightly and said, "Then let me ask you, why do you call me aunt in the first place?"
"I thought she was my master's aunt!" Du Ruo said quickly.
"What do you think?" Lu Lingjun put down his chopsticks and met her eyes, "There are no ladies in the Hou's mansion, but in addition to the prince's aunt, there are maids, maids, me, my wife, and the prince's aunt. This is the first time you enter the inner courtyard of such a large Marquis mansion. You don’t know anyone, and you just call them aunt. Do you think it’s really appropriate?”
Du Ruo was speechless for a moment because of Lu Lingjun's rebuke. When she met Cong Ran's calm eyes, she suddenly looked away.
Yes, Du Ruo knew that it was not appropriate to call someone aunt.
She was there deliberately to show off her superiority.
Because she is Cheng Yunshuo's apprentice.
She relied on her special status as Cheng Yunshuo's only apprentice to find her sense of superiority among a group of women.
She can confirm that there are no young ladies in the Hou Mansion, so among all the remaining people, whether they are aunts, wives, or maids, she can find a sense of superiority among them.
As soon as I thought about it, I hit a big snag.
Lu Lingjun felt Du Ruona's evasive eyes and knew what little thoughts she had in her heart.
From the beginning to the end, when she knew that Du Ruoyi was hanging out among men, she felt a hidden show off and pride in her.
She enjoys the feeling of being unconventional and being popular among men for her men's clothing.
Every word is to belittle other women who follow the rules, to elevate every move of his own, to establish himself in a special position in the name of boldness, to make men look at him with admiration, and to make other women suffer the disadvantage of being dumb.
It's not that she doesn't understand the truth, she understands it too well, because she currently has a bold and cheerful image. If others say anything, they are overthinking.
At this time, Cheng Yunshuo came back.
As soon as Du Ruo saw him, he immediately ran over as if he had seen something, "Master! You are back! I really can't live in your house!"
Lu Lingjun chuckled after hearing this complaint.
That's it.
He stabbed her secretly and even sued her.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Yunshuo heard her aggrieved voice, "Who bullied you?"
Cheng Yunshuo looked at Lu Lingyun.
Lu Lingjun felt the muzzle of the gun being turned towards her. She was too lazy to deal with her and picked up her chopsticks to eat the food. "You can tell Aruo to speak for herself."
She turned the conversation back to Du Ruo first.
Du Ruo heard this and twisted his sleeves, "Master, it's nothing. I just bumped into your cousin and I apologized to her. She didn't look happy. You also know that I can't speak, and I won't do anything if I offend others." I know, I’d better go home and live.”
After Cheng Yunshuo heard this, he said, "What do I mean? I'll tell Shao Jing another day and you can just stay here and learn from your wife."
