Miss Lu Si then said, "The eldest daughter of the Chang'an Marquis family is in the greenhouse..."
She blushed and didn't say the rest of the words. After a pause, she said, "My daughter vaguely saw that a handkerchief had fallen, which was... the Yuan handkerchief..."
"What!"
Madam Lu stood up suddenly, shocked and angry: "What did you say! Speak clearly!"
Miss Lu Si had never seen Mrs. Lu look so serious and angry. She quickly organized her words and, blushing, recounted what she had seen: "My daughter and my second sister went into the greenhouse to admire the chrysanthemums and flowers."
"The flower stands in the greenhouse were beautifully crafted. My daughter was so engrossed in them that she didn't notice she'd lost her second sister. Just as she was about to leave, she ran into Madam Chen. Before we could even say hello, we saw the two of them hugging each other in a corner."
"Miss Qian looked unwell, but both of them lost their clothes. After Madam Chen called her out, Miss Qian's maid dragged her up, and then the greenhouse collapsed."
After hearing this, Mrs. Lu already knew what the fallen Yuanpa was. It was over, her reputation was completely ruined!
If they just hugged each other, there was still room for maneuver. At least she hadn't really lost her virginity, and she could get married again.
But now...
Madam Lu's face turned pale, and tears finally fell: "Sister Su, I'm so sorry! I didn't protect your daughter!"
Miss Lu was startled by her and looked up blankly at the nanny behind her.
Nanny was Madam Lu's maid who came with her as a dowry. After she got married, she came back to be the housekeeper and served her all the time.
Seeing Madam's sadness, the nanny sighed and said, "You don't know, Madam and Madam Su are close friends."
Madam Su is the biological mother of Miss Qian and the original wife of Marquis Chang'an.
When Miss Qian was born, there was a difficult delivery. Although she didn't die immediately, she was still alive. Mian fell ill and passed away after being bedridden for several months.
Although Madam Lu wanted to take better care of Miss Qian, she was not her biological aunt after all, and the Chang'an Marquis's Mansion had no mistress. As a married woman, it was not convenient for her to visit and interact with her often.
Later, the Marquis of Chang'an remarried Miss Wei. Madam Lu visited her several times, but was rejected several times. She was afraid of causing trouble for Miss Qian, so she only secretly sent people to take care of Miss Qian.
This was the first time Miss Lu Si knew that the two families had such a relationship: "I've never heard my mother mention it before."
On the contrary, I have seen Miss Qian several times outside, and it seems that I have seen my mother talking to her?
Seeing that Madam Lu had almost finished crying, the nanny wrung out a handkerchief to wipe her face. "There are many things involved here, and it would take more than a moment to finish. Miss, just remember that our family has this relationship."
Miss Lu nodded and said worriedly, "But what about Sister Qian?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu burst into tears again, but she quickly held them back and asked, "Was Mrs. Chen also there? Which Mrs. Chen?"
"Mrs. Chen, from the household of Mr. Chen, the Chief Censor."
Madam Lu nodded, feeling a little relieved. "The Chen family has a strict family tradition, so she won't say anything outside. Now it all depends on how the Qian family handles it."
Changing the subject, Madam Lu said to Miss Lu Si, "It's getting late. Go back to your room and get some rest. Keep today's events to yourself and don't mention a single word to anyone."
"Don't blame mother for being cruel, but the maids and servants serving you cannot be kept. They have been under restraint for the past few days, and except for the extremely reliable ones, they will be gradually sent away later."
Since it concerns other people's reputation, Miss Lu Si dare not neglect it. Even though the people around her have watched her grow up, she has to let go when it is time to let go.
Miss Lu Si thought about the people who stayed with her in the flower room today and said, "Don't worry, mother. I only brought two maids with me at that time. They are both reliable. But they are old now, and it is time for them to get married. They will be married off in a while. In short, these things will not be spread out of our house."
Madam Lu nodded in relief, then regretted it. "I shouldn't have brought you to the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion today. I thought with so many people there, we'd definitely find a good match. But now it seems like a nest of snakes and rats. Let's take our time choosing your marriages. There's no rush."
Fourth Miss Lu smiled and said, "With a good mother like you around, how could my daughter worry about getting married?"
After this was said, Madam Lu called in the Second Miss Lu, as well as the maids and old women who had gone out today. She gave them detailed instructions and strictly ordered them not to go out for the next few days before letting them leave.
However, there were many people in the greenhouse, and it was not just Mrs. Chen and Miss Lu who saw it. Who could have expected this, and who wouldn't tell others?
Mrs. Lu was worried, but she couldn't interfere in this matter. After thinking it over, she decided to go to the Su family that night. The Su family was Miss Qian's maternal grandfather's family. Although they had ignored her for so many years, they should know about this matter and take care of it.
Mrs. Kelu handed in the visiting card and stood at the door waiting for an hour, but no one came to see her.
Madam Lu sighed softly, "Sister Su, now that you're gone, the child won't have anyone to protect him. Now, he's really going to be bullied!"
Chang'an Marquis Mansion.
Miss Qian knelt in front of the hall, her mind blank.
Stepmother Wei clutched her handkerchief and cried desperately, "They say being a stepmother is hard. How many insults have I endured over the years? And now something like this happened again today. How can I live like this?"
Lord Qian raised his foot and kicked Miss Qian: "You are such a worthless and despicable thing. How could you let yourself be deceived? Not only did you ruin yourself, but you also implicated your sisters!"
Miss Qian was kicked and fell to the ground. She crawled to Lord Qian's feet, grabbed his clothes and cried loudly: "I don't know what happened to me. I drank two cups of fruit tea in the greenhouse and lost consciousness."
