She actually didn't know what to do afterwards and didn't know whether she should change her target.

However, the biggest trouble now is not Lu Sanlang. It is that Lu Sanlang doubts her true identity. That cousin does not seem to be a good person. Will he tell the elders of the Lu family about her true identity? If the elders of the Lu family hate her and want to drive her out of the Lu family...what should she do? Without the protection of the family, she has nowhere to go.

Luo Lingyu sat quietly, frightened by her own imagination, sweating all over and her hands were cold.

She was panicking and wanted to turn back to Hualin, kneel down in front of Lu Yun and beg him not to expose her... But Luo Lingyu was also born into a noble family, and she had her own pride. In this era, apart from worshipping, most of the time, even meeting the king did not require kneeling. And in order to stay in the Lu family, was she going to kneel down to Lu Sanlang?

Lingyu pushed Luo Lingyu anxiously: "What happened to the girl?"

Luo Lingyu's speechless and bewildered look frightened the maid. Lingyu held Luo Lingyu's cold hand and whispered in her ear: "Did Sanlang bully you? Don't be afraid, girl. We will complain to the old lady tomorrow and let her make the decision for us!"

Luo Lingyu shuddered.

Nails digging into the palm of the hand: living under someone else's fence...

"No. I can't cause trouble for everyone. Third cousin treats me..." The girl burst into tears, choked for a while, then smiled, "very good."

Luo Lingyu just shed tears and said nothing when she mentioned "Lu Sanlang". Lingyu was even more convinced that Lu Sanlang must have bullied the girl. Lingyu wanted to tell the old lady, but Luo Lingyu held her back and hesitated. Lingyu could only sigh and nod. She thought the girl was really pitiful, but also really kind-hearted.

After Lingyu helped Luo Lingyu to sleep, she went out to meet the sisters in the mansion. A piece of gossip about Lu Sanlang had spread - Lu Sanlang was a beast in private and bullied the new cousin until she cried.

This rumor actually only lasted for two days. When it was about to get more serious, the servants whispered a new piece of gossip: Lu Sanlang's face was injured by a girl.

Lu Saburo was slapped in the face.

After Lingyu came back and told Luo Lingyu the news, he looked at the uncertain girl with a worried look. Luo Lingyu felt suffocated in her heart: Third cousin... He is indeed the third cousin.

Even with such a big slap mark, he didn't even try to hide it. He didn't hide for two days and instead went out for a walk.

If she spreads anything, wouldn't it be to prove that she was the one who slapped him? She didn't know what they would say about her in front of the elders of the Lu family. She admitted defeat.

…

Because of the secret meeting with Lu Sanlang, Luo Lingyu stayed in the courtyard for several days. She was terrified and waited for several days, but her aunt Lu Ying and the old lady of the Lu family did not talk to her. It seemed that Lu Yun did not go to the old lady Lu to complain about her?

What does he mean? It makes people feel uncomfortable.

In the early morning, Miss Luo Yunhuan was sitting in the courtyard reciting aloud, while Lingyu stood under the curtain to help the girl comb her hair. Luo Lingyu was sitting in front of the window, just in time to monitor whether her sister was slacking off. Looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, Lingyu inserted a hairpin into the girl's hair and asked, "The girl will not go out for two days. I wonder if the small banquet scheduled for today should also be cancelled?"

In order to please the gentlemen and ladies, Luo Lingyu had given countless gifts and held countless banquets out of her own pocket. She was very distressed when she ran out of money.

It was originally agreed that Luo Lingyu would be the host of tonight's small banquet.

Luo Lingyu suddenly thought of Lu Sanlang's words of warning - "Then you better be careful. What I can see, others can see too. Do you think the Lu family is blind to your scheming? Cousin Luo, as long as you say or do something inappropriate, the Lu family will kick you out."

Luo Lingyu frowned and was about to refuse, but Lingyu smiled and said, "If you don't want to be the host, Madam Wang wants to be the host. Han's daughter is going home, and Madam Wang wants to hold a farewell banquet, but she is not as smart and skillful as you, so Madam Wang wants to borrow your place for a while."

Luo Lingyu's eyes sparkled, and she agreed to the favor: "Okay, I love to do favors. Let Sister Wang come over."

The author has something to say: Cousin: Aren’t you tired of pretending?

Sister Luo: As long as I can marry a rich and powerful man, I can pretend for the rest of my life! It's not tiring at all!

Chapter 11

In the evening, after returning from school, Lu Chang, the eight-year-old son of the Lu family, hurried into the house and lay on the small table to quickly write the homework assigned by the teacher. Lu Chang had delicate eyebrows and eyes, and was as cute as snow-white jade. However, because of his naughty play, his face was covered with mud and dust, like a little cat.

Young Master Lu Chang was writing his homework while turning his head to look at the sky outside the window, his expression was somewhat anxious. Because he kept looking at the sky, he didn't pay attention to his handwriting, and the ink on the big characters on the rice paper was sometimes light and sometimes heavy, and the characters were also written crookedly. But no matter how crooked it was, the young master worked hard for a quarter of an hour and finished his homework.

Lu Chang shouted joyfully, threw away his pen, jumped on the couch, and rushed out with the curtain lifted. Unexpectedly, he rushed out like a small firecracker and bumped into a person coming in from outside. The person fell back two steps after being knocked back by him, but fortunately, his mother and maid helped him up. When young master Lu Chang saw this, he was immediately terrified and called out tremblingly - "Mother!"

The person who came in from outside the door was Zhang Minglan, the eldest wife of the Lu family.

Although Zhang Minglan is not Lu Chang's biological mother, Lu Chang must call her "mother". Moreover, Lu Chang is now raised by Zhang Minglan.

When Mrs. Lu came, Lu Chang lowered his head nervously. He saw Mrs. Lu rubbing her waist which was hurt by him. After the nanny and maids were busy, Mrs. Lu came into the room and sat on the couch. Young Master Lu stood on the ground obediently waiting to be taught. Mrs. Lu was very serious and did not make up at all: "What are you doing? You ran out right after school. Have you finished your homework?"

The maid showed Mrs. Lu a thin piece of rice paper lying on the small table, saying that it was the young master's homework. Lu Chang's heart skipped a beat and he wanted to make amends, but before he could come up with an excuse, Mrs. Lu was already checking his kung fu. Mrs. Lu's face immediately became more exciting than when she was hit just now: "What a mess! Is this how you do your homework!"
