Xin Yi didn't expect that Lu Cheng would push her away and use so much force, which made her even more sad.
Mo'er was startled when she came in carrying mung bean soup.
"Xin Yi, why did you come to the young master's room?"
Xin Yi wiped the tears on his face: "Why can't I come to the young master's room?"
She is also the eldest maid in the mansion. If it weren't for Mo'er, she would be the young master's first wife!
Thinking of this, Xin Yi's sadness turned to anger, and he pointed his finger at Mo'er and cursed angrily: "It's all you. If you didn't show up, the person staying by the young master's side would be me. I have obviously taken care of the young master for more than ten years. This position was supposed to be for me, why was it snatched away by you as soon as you came?"
Mo'er put down the mung bean soup. She didn't want to argue with Xin Yi, but when she spoke so harshly, she opened her mouth to retort: "I am the person chosen by the lady. Since the lady asked me to take care of the young master, it means that I am more suitable than you. If you are not convinced, Just tell the lady, why are you blaming me for what you did?"
Lu Cheng was confused as he listened. Isn't it all about serving tea and pouring water?
Why do we have to fight for work and still get into quarrels?
Xin Yi showed no sign of weakness: "You must have used some kind of foxy trick to get what you wanted, and you still put the responsibility on the young lady!"
Although Mo'er is not very young, she knows more than Lu Cheng. When Xin Yi said this, she immediately blushed and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! I have always respected the young master, and the trust that the young lady has in me is not you." You can slander them at will!"
Xin Yi sneered and said: "Huh, I take better care of the young master than you do. I know the young master better than you do. I should be the roommate more than you! If you didn't use any means, why did you climb into the young master's bed? "
"Xin Yi, you... you!" Mo'er was trembling with anger, "It's obviously your father who did something wrong, and the retribution is on you. If you want to blame, you should blame your own father. Why are you spouting such bullshit?"
It had only been more than a month since Xin Yi's father died, and the sadness had not faded away yet. Now that others were saying her father was wrong, she immediately became furious, with a fierce look on her face. She rushed over to Mo'er and gave her a slap in the face. He blushed and said angrily: "Why do you talk about my father?"
Mo'er and Lu Cheng were both stunned.
Why did Xin Yi suddenly become so aggressive?
Mo'er reached out to cover her face that was swollen from the beating, and said aggrievedly: "You and I are both first-class maids, why do you beat someone? I'll tell the lady to go!"
After saying that, she turned around and walked out in a hurry.
"Stop!" Xin Yi pulled her back, "If we can't make any noise, I will file a complaint with the young lady. The young master is still here! This home is the young master's home, not the young lady's home!"
Mo'er paused and looked at Lu Cheng with red eyes.
Lu Cheng was still immersed in Xin Yi's expression of beating others and had not come back to his senses.
"Master, please say something!" Xin Yi frowned, grabbed Lu Cheng's wrist, and felt aggrieved.
Lu Cheng came back to his senses, looked at Xin Yi's aggrieved face, and couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart.
He pushed Xin Yi's hand away and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xin Yi looked at Lu Cheng in disbelief, shook his head and asked, "Master, am I wrong? This is the Lu family. The young lady is already married. You are the master of this family. The young lady is already an outsider... …”
"Shut up!"
Lu Cheng scolded angrily.
Xin Yi and Mo'er didn't expect that the usually gentle young master would become angry.
Both of them froze on the spot, not daring to speak for a moment.
Lu Cheng raised his eyebrows and glared at Xin Yi: "Although sister is married as a woman, she will always be my sister. She will always be a member of my Lu family. I will not allow anyone to say anything wrong about sister.
“When my Lu family was in dire straits, if my sister hadn’t come back in time, I’m afraid the Lu family’s property would have ceased to exist.
"My mother is seriously ill and has sought medical treatment to no avail. If it weren't for my sister, I wouldn't have been able to invite Dr. Qi to treat my mother.
"If I didn't have my sister behind me to support me and carry the Lu family's property, I'm afraid I would never have the chance to go back to school and get fame.
"Sister is the beacon of my Lu family and the support in my heart. No matter whether she is married or where she is, she will always be my sister and a member of my Lu family. I will never allow anyone to There is some criticism and disrespect towards her!"
His words were full of unwavering defense of Lu Ling.
The strong aura exuded by those words was an inviolable force, warning those who dared to be disrespectful to my sister.
Xin Yi looked at Lu Cheng's determined eyes and suddenly regretted what he said.
She seemed to have forgotten that Lu Ling and Lu Cheng were siblings, and she seemed to have overestimated her position in Lu Cheng's heart...
She couldn't help but lower her head, feeling sour and bitter in her heart, with some hidden resentment and unwillingness...
After Lu Cheng said these words, it took a long time before the surging emotions in his heart gradually calmed down.
When they looked at Xin Yi and Mo'er again, they both lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Somehow, at this moment, his mind suddenly flashed into Sister A's usual demeanor and behavior when teaching her servants.
He realized that today Mo'er and Xin Yi were arguing in front of his master, and Xin Yi even made a move.
According to Lu Ling's words, this meant that he didn't take his master seriously at all.
A sentence suddenly flashed through his mind: Anyone who violates the law and is negligent will be punished even though he is close.
Although Xin Yi and Mo'er are close to him, they have done something wrong and must be punished.
Lu Cheng felt that this was the first time that he fully understood the truth in the book after reading it for so long.
Outside his yard, Lu Ting turned around and left without entering the house after hearing his words of punishing Xin Yi and Mo'er.
She heard everything about the quarrel between the two girls in the house just now.
What Lu Cheng said made her heart warm.
Lu Ling was also satisfied with the way he punished Mo'er and Xin Yi with two months of silver.
This shows that Lu Cheng has begun to grow.
Just a little bit, Xin Yi's words did remind Lu Ling.
She is the wife of the Song family.
No matter how good her brother's relationship is with her, she shouldn't have all the rights of the Lu family in her hands.
Now that Lu Cheng is still young, he doesn't fully understand these yet.
But one day he will grow up.
Lu Ling should help the Lu family, but he must not control the Lu family.
As for the Lu family's candle business and tea business...
Lu Ling thought about it and decided to let Lu Cheng handle it in person. She only had to watch from the side and correct it in time if Lu Cheng did anything wrong.
As for her previous worries - she was afraid that Lu Cheng would focus on business and not be able to study seriously. Now she thought about it again and felt that she had thought poorly at that time.
As the saying goes, all good things come from difficulties, and young people should not take the easy way out. If there is less suffering and more golden bird cages, it will be easy for people to degenerate and forget their ambitions.
As long as his mother's illness is gone and Lu Cheng works harder, running a business while studying, with Lu Ling helping him, he might get more opportunities to hone his will.
