After Lu Zijun had packed up, she sneaked out of the bedroom and went to the hall where they usually had their meals at the Lu Mansion.
Now Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu were waiting for her in the dining hall. Lu Dejun was standing at the door watching her from afar. He turned around and sat down when he saw her coming.
Lu Zijun walked in and said slowly with a guilty conscience, "Father, Mother, your daughter has packed up."
Seeing that Lu Zijun's face was still wet, Master Lu recalled her cat-like appearance when she first entered the house. "With your bad temper, which man would dare to marry you?"
Master Lu glared at Lu Zijun, his expression displeased. "You really think you're such a big shot! You even dared to go to Bishuitang and beat someone up. Now your reputation as a shrew is solidified. I have to go to the Zhen family with your mother to apologize. If you weren't causing trouble outside every day, there wouldn't be any need for us to clean up this mess for you."
Lu Zijun sat on the chair without saying a word. She didn't dare to look up at Mr. Lu, but just ate her meal obediently.
Seeing Lu Zijun's expression, Madam Lu chimed in, "Master, it's rare for Zijun to be so obedient and admit her mistakes. Since she knows she's wrong, let's just let it go. Besides, it was the daughter of the Zhen family who was rude first."
"It's all your fault for spoiling her. From childhood on, you didn't punish her for minor mistakes, but only brushed off her for major ones. That's how she developed this fearless personality." Master Lu glared at Lu Zijun and said coldly, "You don't have to go to Bishui Hall. If you go, it's because you didn't study hard and embarrassed yourself. You can just stay at home and wait for me to find you a marriage partner."
"Father, I know I was wrong." Lu Zijun was a little anxious when she heard Master Lu say this, and she quickly swore, "I swear that I will never dare to fight again. I will behave myself and never overstep my bounds. Father, please let me go. I will do my homework well."
"I don't dare trust you anymore." Master Lu snorted coldly, obviously not taking Lu Zijun's words to heart. "You've been kicked out. Do you think Bishuitang will accept you if you go back? Your father doesn't have the face to speak up for you anymore."
"Dad, you don't have to tell me." Lu Zijun was now angry and retorted with his neck stiff, "Song Wanning from the General's Mansion is my good friend. Her brother knew that I was being bullied and said he would go and say hello for me. I can still go to Bishui Hall as usual."
Upon hearing this, Master Lu's face turned pale and blue. He slammed his chopsticks on the table and said coldly, "You've already brought shame upon yourself to the General's Mansion, and you're still asking them to plead for you. You're so shameless. I said you're not allowed to go, and you're not allowed to go. Do you hear me?"
"Dad!" Lu Zijun couldn't recognize him anymore and immediately started to act irritable. "Why don't you believe what your daughter says?"
Master Lu snorted coldly and glared at Lu Zijun, "Go back to the yard after dinner. Don't come out. Do you hear me?"
Lu Zijun threw the bowl in his hand onto the table, turned around and left the cafeteria.
Lu Zijun is now staying in the yard. She wanted to sneak out to study, but who would have known that Mr. Lu actually asked two mothers to watch over her every day and not let her go out.
Now that’s good, Lu Zijun’s dream of sneaking out of Bishuitang has been shattered.
Lu Zijun had been locked up in the courtyard for two days, crying out to heaven and earth for help, but to no avail. Just when she was about to think of other solutions, Qingling hurried in from outside. She looked at Lu Zijun and said, "Miss, Miss, General Song Lan is here, and he's talking to the master in the front hall."
Lu Zijun was stunned and almost jumped up from his chair. He looked at Qing Ling in surprise, "What is he doing in our house?"
Qing Ling shook her head and said to Lu Zijun, "I don't know either, but I'm here anyway. Miss, do you want to go and take a look secretly?"
"Of course we have to go." Lu Zijun walked towards the door in small steps, but the two mothers were still blocking the door.
Lu Zijun rolled his eyes and said harshly, "What are you doing blocking the way here? I want to go find my dad."
Seeing this, the two mothers finally made way and followed Lu Zijun all the way to the main hall.
Lu Zijun sneaked forward from the back door, stood behind the screen, and secretly listened to the conversation between Song Lan and Master Lu.
Song Lan's voice was always more righteous than that of the young men in the capital. Lu Zijun only heard his low voice, "Master Lu, my father asked me to say hello to Master Lu."
The General's Mansion was well-known, so Master Lu did not dare to neglect it. He just smiled and said, "Everything is fine, everything is fine. I just wonder where General Xiao Song is working now?"
"I'm just helping with some chores in the barracks," Song Lan said slowly. "My father thought I needed to improve my knowledge these days, so he asked me to study at Bishui Hall. A few days ago, I even met Miss Zijun from the master's family at Bishui Hall. I just don't know why I haven't been there these past two days."
When Master Lu mentioned Lu Zijun, he felt a bit embarrassed and said slowly, "My child has always been spoiled. Now that she has made such a fool of herself at Bishuitang, I really can't bear to see her continue to cause trouble, so I let her reflect on her mistakes at home."
"So that's how it is." Song Lan smiled and explained to Master Lu, "I was there when Miss Zijun was killed that day. She took action because someone else was slandering my sister. Now it seems that our General's Mansion should be grateful for her bravery. If she is punished for this, it is the General's Mansion's fault. I hope Master Lu can forgive Miss Zijun this time. If not, my father and I will feel bad."
Seeing that Lu Zijun had earned him a favor, Master Lu's previous anger had long since disappeared. Instead, he looked at Song Lan and laughed, "How dare I accept this? If she is on good terms with the general's daughter, it is only natural for her to help. Now that General Lan has spoken, I must have misunderstood her."
Song Lan responded, "My father has already informed the teacher at Bishuitang. If Miss Lu wants to return to Bishuitang, she can go back and continue her lessons. I wonder if Miss Lu can continue to go to Bishuitang tomorrow?"
Master Lu smiled and said hurriedly, "Of course. I'm sorry to trouble General Lan to come here in person to plead for my daughter today. How about General Lan have dinner before returning to the General's Mansion?"
"No, I have something to do at home right now, so I'll go back first." Song Lan stood up, bowed to Mr. Lu, and then turned around to say goodbye.
When he left, he glanced at the screen meaningfully.
