Chapter 23 Which son?
Lu Yuanning's tears fell like pearls with broken threads.
Seeing this, Aunt Ji couldn't help but sigh.
She had thought that Ning Niang had changed before, but now it seems that Ning Niang is still the little lady who will only hide in her arms and seek her help whenever she encounters something.
But this was what she wanted before, but not what she wanted now.
What she wants now is Ning Niang unswervingly stand on her and Shuang'er's side, completely opposing Zhu's family.
It seems that she must think of other ways.
"Okay, don't cry anymore. Shuang'er is just talking angry. She is a maid. How dare you fight against the third lady? You don't have to take it seriously." Aunt Ji touched her hair to comfort her, and said, "It's getting late. Auntie guess you are not in the mood to eat, so I'll buy you some pastries and come back!"
"Okay." Lu Yuanning wiped away his tears and made up his mind and said, "When the grandfather comes back, I want to talk to the grandfather and ask the grandfather to persuade the third sister not to bully Qinshuang again."
Qin Shuang's eyes lit up, "That little lady must complain to the head of the family, and make the head of the family feel sorry for you from the bottom of her heart."
Aunt Ji also said with relief: "This is the right thing. Ning Niang, you don't have to worry about the entire Lu family, the most important thing is to win the favor of the head of the family. Only in this way can you gain a firm foothold in the Lu family. By then, the daughter of Zhu's family will no longer dare to shout in front of you."
"Well, I understand." Lu Yuanning nodded obediently.
Aunt Ji was very pleased with her obedient and sensibleness, and said a few more words to her, then led Qinshuang out of the house.
What they mother and daughter don’t know is that Lu Yuanning, who has always been cowardly and afraid, after they left the house, the expression on their faces was gradually replaced by calmness and indifference, and a trace of coldness flashed through their beautiful eyes.
Didn’t Aunt Ji want her to oppose her stepmother?
Then, she will let her get what she wants.
I just don’t know the final result, can she and Qinshuang accept it?
After a while, Aunt Ji brought the pastry. After Lu Yuanning ate a few pieces, he said to her: "Aunt, I won't go to the front hall to have meals these days. I'm afraid that after seeing my third sister, she will bully Qinshuang again. Before we get the support of my grandfather, we should avoid her for the time being."
Aunt Ji actually did not support Lu Yuanning's actions because it proved that they could not afford to offend Zhu and showed weakness to Zhu.
But she had no choice but to deal with Lu Yuanning because she knew Lu Yuanning too well. When she was in Yanling, she liked to escape when encountering problems. Even Shuang'er dared to fight against the young ladies of the Lu family, but she didn't dare.
Such a cowardly and fearful temperament was a good thing in the past because they could be controlled by them, but now they are a little unable to do so.
After all, they are servants. If the master wants to settle things, they will not be able to jump out and charge into battle.
Fortunately, as soon as this happened today, a thorn had been laid in Ning Niang and Zhu's hearts. It was impossible for them to be warm and affectionate without any grudges.
As for Ning Niang, I can only teach her slowly and I am not in a hurry for this moment.
It just so happened that they could take advantage of the past few days to explore the situation in the Lu family. As long as Shuang'er can show her face in front of the head of the family, everything can be slowly taken.
Thinking of this, Aunt Ji didn't say anything, packed up the dishes and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked to the door, someone suddenly rushed in outside the house, scaring the dishes in her hand that instantly slid down.
The visitor quickly caught the dishes that were about to fall to the ground, and then steadily put them back into the tray in Aunt Ji's hand, saying apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"A Wu?" Lu Yuanning immediately stood up when he heard the voice. Seeing that the person coming was A Wu, his eyes lit up and he hurried over, "Where have you been? I haven't seen you for an afternoon."
Awu's eyes looked a little red and swollen. She lowered her head and said, "I'm just going outside to relax."
Aunt Ji finally came to her senses, her face immediately became dark, and she scolded: "You maid, you really have no rules at all. The little lady didn't say anything. Who would allow you to go out and relax on your own initiative?"
A Wu buried his head lowered his head without a single sentence.
Lu Yuanning rescued her, "Auntie, I asked her to go out to inquire about the matter, but I didn't expect that she had been out for so long, and she might have encountered something. Auntie will do it first, I will teach her a lesson."
Aunt Ji didn't want to argue with Lu Yuanning for an irrelevant maid, but just warned Ah Wu and left the house.
After Aunt Ji left, Lu Yuanning pulled Awu aside and sat down, and said seriously: "Awu, tell me honestly, where have you been going this afternoon? Don't say you're going out to relax. I don't believe it. Look, your eyes are red from crying, but what happened?"
It would be fine if she didn't ask, but when asked, A Wu's tears couldn't stop falling.
"You, don't cry!" Lu Yuanning was a little at a loss. Was she too strict?
A Wu choked and said, "Madam, I didn't leave the house on purpose. I have a last resort. I will definitely do my best to do things around me in the future and will never have any unfair intentions. I beg you not to drive me away."
Lu Yuanning was puzzled, "Who is going to drive you away? I never thought about driving you away. Don't cry, tell me what happened? Maybe I can help you."
A Wu shook his head, thought for a while, and couldn't help but say, "I've seen the young master."
"Young Master?" Lu Yuanning was confused, "Which young master?"
This time Awu was surprised, "It was what I said to my wife!"
Lu Yuanning: “…”
Embarrassing.
Fortunately, Awu didn't think too much and explained: "Young Master is a very good person. I made a mistake in my mansion and almost got beaten to death by an adult. It was the young master who saved me and sent me back to my hometown in Yanling. It's a pity that I have no relatives in my hometown. Several uncles and uncles want to peel off my slave, so I escaped and met the most good wife."
After she said that, she said with relief: "My wife, like the young master, is the most kind-hearted person in this world."
Lu Yuanning felt even more guilty.
She didn't remember this incident at all.
It seems that what happened to Lu Yuanning in this life has happened again, and she, the "fake" in her previous life, has never experienced it at all.
"The young master you are talking about is your former master. He is from the capital?" Lu Yuanning asked pretending to be calm.
Awu nodded.
"That's why you are willing to come to the capital with me?" Lu Yuanning remembered that among the many maids, only Awuyi came voluntarily.
