Chapter 56
"My family won't let him see me."
"Did he pay his respects to him openly?"
"No, no, but,"
"No, but he didn't, not even once." Through getting along with Mr. Huaiyuan and the identities of the students he had taught before, it can be known that the Liu family is not the kind of people who value family background.
The Liu family is a Confucian scholar family. If Mr. Du is indeed of good character, he can let the people of the Du family see his talent first by asking for advice as a disciple, leaving a good impression on them.
"It's because of the huge difference in our status and his low self-esteem that he doesn't dare to come to my house rashly."
"Is this his reason for communicating with you without your family's knowledge? He knew your family would definitely disapprove, but he still insisted on doing so. Isn't this just a disguised way of making things difficult for you? If your private communication gets out and your reputation is damaged, will he suffer any loss?"
"No, everyone will only praise his ability, his greatness, and his courage, saying that he can even seduce a daughter of an official. And you? You will face the scorn, ridicule, and insults of the world, as well as countless rumors. He knew clearly the consequences of your personal relationship, but he still did it. Is there no problem with his character?"
Zhang Yunniang spoke word by word, in a low voice, neither hurried nor slow, leaving Liu Yingxue speechless.
"Love is hard to control, but if you truly love someone, you will never let them suffer any injustice. He threw all the problems onto you. He is just a bad person. Your family is right."
"You, you, you're going too far. I don't allow you to say that about him."
Liu Yingxue was furious and slapped him. How dare a mere commoner act so rudely in front of her?
Before Zhang Yunniang could react, she moved quickly and easily dodged by bending backwards.
Liu Yingxue tried too hard and lost her balance, falling to the ground.
I was already in a bad mood, and I just lost the argument, and now I got myself into trouble by fighting.
She suddenly lost control of her emotions, stood up and started fighting with Zhang Yunniang.
After Zhang Yunniang came to her senses, she kept giving in. She was worried that she might not be careful enough and accidentally hurt the delicate girl.
Liu Yingxue was furious at the moment and started scratching and clawing. Zhang Yunniang dodged and her nails left bloody marks on her neck and arms.
Zhang Yunniang was scratched so hard that she became angry. "If you don't stop, I'll really beat you up."
"You are just a small civilian, yet you dare to point fingers in front of me? Who gave you the courage? And you dare to hide? I told you to hide, I told you to hide."
"You're really going too far!"
Zhang Yunniang used some clever strength and easily knocked the man to the ground.
But she didn't expect to hear a burst of crying. She panicked. Isn't this useless?
Could it be that he was really hurt?
She is indeed a delicate girl.
"Miss Liu, are you okay?" She squatted down to check the injuries.
Liu Yingxue covered her foot with a look of pain, pretending to twist her ankle. While Zhang Yunniang was checking the injury, she seized the opportunity, raised her foot and kicked the man, watching him fall backwards with a smug smile on her face.
Her head hit the ground with a loud bang, and Zhang Yunniang felt dizzy instantly.
Liu Yingxue sat on her and attacked her left and right. This time she was really angry and reached out to strangle her.
In the study, Wei Yijun was quite different from his usual carefree self. He no longer daydreamed or looked out the window, but was holding a book and taking notes stroke by stroke.
Mr. Huaiyuan was a little surprised to see how serious he was. The more serious the students were, the more attentive he became in his teaching.
Jun Qingmo was quite pleased to see that he was working harder than before.
He had given advice before, both openly and secretly, but no one took it seriously.
Seeing that his friend was now more cheerful, he was also infected and listened to the lectures more seriously.
There seemed to be faint crying sounds coming from outside the yard, and gradually, the noise of fighting became more and more obvious.
The three people, not knowing what was going on, looked at each other in confusion, put down their things and went outside.
When they arrived, two people were fighting in the yard.
They rolled on the ground, strangling each other's necks and kicking each other.
Wei Yijun: "Miss Zhang, what are you doing? Let go of Miss Liu."
Jun Qingmo: "Mother Yun, Miss Liu, please let go and stop hitting me."
Mr. Huaiyuan: "Let go of me, girls! Let go first and stop fighting. If you have any grievances, tell me and I will take care of it for you."
The two of them were twisted arms around each other, legs around each other, almost like conjoined twins.
Seeing this, the three grown men didn't dare to step forward to stop them. The two people over there didn't listen at all, and they were pinching each other and almost rolling their eyes.
Jun Qingmo stepped forward and said, "Miss Liu, if Yunniang has been rude, I'd like to apologize on her behalf. Please let her go first. If there's anything, let's talk slowly, okay?"
Wei Yijun: "Miss Zhang, please let go first. If you have anything to say, please stop and talk it over. Miss Liu, please let go first as well. The master will take care of it for you."
Mr. Huaiyuan was scratching his head and turning around in circles, unable to guess why things had developed into this state.
The old man, who usually looks serious, was scratching the back of his head helplessly at this moment. He didn't look like a hermit at all.
The two rolled on the ground again. This time Zhang Yunniang had the upper hand. She rode on Liu Yingxue's belly and sat down hard. Liu Yingxue screamed again.
Liu Yingxue felt pain and waved her legs wildly, trying to kick the man down. Just as the two of them rolled to Jun Qingmo's side, this random kick knocked Jun Qingmo and his wheelchair to the ground.
When Zhang Yunniang saw Jun Qingmo being kicked to the ground, she was distracted and received another slap in the face.
But both of them loosened their hands that were strangling each other. Wei Yijun took advantage of this opportunity, apologized, grabbed Zhang Yunniang's arms, and lifted her aside.
The two were pulled apart, still looking at each other, without saying a word.
Seeing Jun Qingmo still sitting on the ground, Zhang Yunniang randomly grabbed the hair that was scattered and blocking her view, and quickly helped him into the wheelchair.
When Liu Yingxue saw Mr. Huaiyuan, she immediately complained, "Grandpa, where did this unruly girl come from? Quickly kick her out. I won't let her come here again."
Zhang Yunniang knew she was in the wrong for fighting on someone else's territory, but she couldn't help but whisper back, "It was you who hit me first."
"What if I hit you? I hit you because you talked nonsense."
Liu Yingxue put her hands on her hips and held her head high, like a fighting rooster.
Jun Qingmo tugged at Zhang Yunniang's sleeve to appease her. "Miss Liu, Yunniang belongs to my mansion. No matter what happens, I, Jun Qingmo, am willing to take responsibility. Please tell me what just happened?"
There were two foreign men here, and Liu Yingxue's face showed obvious panic.
Zhang Yunniang was thinking about the conflict just now, and also glanced at Liu Yingxue's flustered yet pretending-to-be-calm expression. The dispute concerned Liu Yingxue's reputation, so how could it be discussed?
She walked up to Mr. Huaiyuan first and said, "Sir, I accidentally bumped into Miss Liu, and Miss Liu hit me in pain. I lost my temper, so I started arguing, and a conflict broke out. This is all Yunniang's fault. Please forgive me for disturbing your peace."
Zhang Yunniang bowed and apologized, "Please be magnanimous and don't take your anger out on my son."
Jun Qingmo knew Zhang Yunniang's character and knew she would never fight with anyone over such a small matter, but she had already taken everything on herself. If he continued to ask for the truth, it would only make things worse.
"Miss Liu, this is all my fault for not being strict with her. I apologize. Please also forgive her rudeness and recklessness, considering that Yunniang grew up alone and helpless, without any elders to guide her, and endured so much hardship to raise her."
Zhang Yunniang had no elders to guide her since childhood, but Liu Yingxue had. Jun Qingmo believed that it wasn't Zhang Yunniang who started the whole thing, but Liu Yingxue knew the truth.
The following sentence plays on the emotional card and also reflects.
Instead of making the dispute clear, Zhang Yunniang made up a lie and blamed herself for everything.
He also apologized sincerely. At this moment, Jun Qingmo apologized with an apologetic look on his face. In an instant, Liu Yingxue felt like a clown.
Wei Yijun: "Miss Liu, Miss Zhang didn't mean to do that. Please forgive her unintentional mistake."
Liu Yingxue was not an uneducated person. If Zhang Yunniang argued with her about who was right and who was wrong, she would feel more at ease.
She was in a bad mood and out of control, so she hit Zhang Yunniang first. At first, the man let her go, but later he hit her back because he felt pain.
Now that everything was taken back on her, she was in the wrong to begin with, and feeling guilty, she yelled "I'm sorry." She stomped her feet, squatted on the ground, and burst into tears.
The four of them were stunned. What was going on?
Mr. Huaiyuan slapped his forehead. He loved the younger generation, but this younger generation was too noisy and crying made him feel overwhelmed.
"Yingxue, stop crying and be obedient. Your crying is breaking grandpa's heart."
Liu Yingxue held her head and cried loudly, crying so hard that she ignored everyone who spoke.
The big men were helpless, but Zhang Yunniang was a woman so it was much easier to deal with.
She walked over and hugged the person in her arms, "Miss Liu, don't cry. Your eyes are red and swollen, and it doesn't look good."
Liu Yingxue fell into a warm embrace and leaned against it.
"I hurt you just now, so I'll let you hit me back. This time, I'll find some rope to tie your hands and feet, and I won't fight back. It would be so painful for me if you cried. You're so filial, I don't want to make me worry."
Liu Yingxue stopped crying with a sob, raised her head slightly, glanced at Zhang Yunniang, and snorted.
Mr. Huaiyuan silently gave a thumbs up, saying that this girl Zhang was a good coaxer.
His granddaughter was such a difficult person, but he was easily subdued.
If I were in Liu Mansion, I would feel unhappy and would make a fuss for three to five days.
"Okay, okay, we'll have this class in the afternoon. Old man, go and have a rest first." Mr. Huaiyuan is old and his head hurts from the noise.
Jun Qingmo looked at the person who had been coaxed into submission with just a few words, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
The sun was shining brightly and the two girls were talking. He gestured to Wei Yijun to go to the side and bask in the sun and not be annoying here.
After everyone had left, Liu Yingxue finally came out of Zhang Yunniang's arms. She was a little embarrassed just now.
"Don't think I'll thank you."
