Chapter 61 She is not simple
Chapter 61
Xiaofeng Courtyard
"Second Miss, the bath water in the ear room is ready. Here are three sets of underwear. Which one would you like to wear?" Mo Bing asked softly.
Lu Songli raised his eyes and said, "The middle one."
"Okay." Mo Bing immediately and neatly put away the other two sets.
The maids serving in the same room were very surprised. As the second young lady's personal maid, Mo Bing had always made decisions on such small matters in the past.
Mo Bing ignored the maids' thoughts and went about her business, musing on the Second Young Lady's increasingly assertive aura. After today's events, Mo Bing could clearly sense that Chen Rong and the others were becoming more respectful to the Second Young Lady. Even she herself had begun to reflect on herself, becoming more composed and less fussy than before. The Second Young Lady used to be known for her quiet demeanor, but she was actually a bit weak. Her protection and control over her inevitably led to her sometimes overreaching. Fortunately, the Second Young Lady hadn't been a big deal with her before.
"Second Miss, the water is ready. Do you want to go over now?"
Lu Songli nodded softly. She took the land deeds and banknotes that her parents had given her, which were compensation from the Xie family, and gave them to Mo Bing for safekeeping.
She could sense the changes in the people serving around her, but she didn't care. This was one of the reasons why she was determined to cripple Zhao Bin's leg today.
Previously, Lu Songli was too soft, which brought many problems. The first problem was that she originally gave people the impression of being a soft persimmon, and those who couldn't afford to offend other members of her family could take advantage of her.
What she did today was equivalent to showing off her claws and teeth, a demonstration, and also like drawing a line for those people to see. In this way, she told those around her where her bottom line was, where her taboos were, and where her boundaries were. Others would know how to strike a balance when interacting with her, saving herself a lot of unnecessary trouble.
This is what she does now when she is still young.
As she grew stronger and faced a more formidable foe, their confrontations no longer required ferocious displays of force. As powerful individuals, both sides had a clear understanding of the boundaries between them. Everyone understood the rules and would not easily cross them. Normally, their sharp fangs and claws were well hidden, refusing to strike unless necessary, and when they did, they were certain to strike with a single blow.
Now that she has demonstrated her strength and power, naturally there are people who want to rely on her and follow her. She can just choose the best ones and accept them. In the future, they will deal with some people who don't know the rules for you.
As for the fact that Chen Rongmobing and others were more respectful to her, it was only expected.
However, she also knew that this matter was not over yet. Once she and the Lu family could neutralize the subsequent retaliation or counterattack from the Zhao family, or even the Xie and Zhao families, her power would be established. Otherwise, everything would be in vain. If they were successfully retaliated by the Zhao family, her power would be greatly shattered.
Lu Songli stood up and undressed, then walked towards the ear room in her wooden clogs, with Mo Bing following closely behind.
"From now on, I'll leave food, clothing, housing and transportation to you. I trust you, so just do whatever you want."
She saw Mo Bing's transformation and was willing to give her time. The original owner had a hands-off approach to governance, but she wasn't like that. If Mo Bing continued to control everything around her, it wouldn't work. She focused on the big picture and let go of the small details, willing to delegate power, but Mo Bing had to be aware of what she could and couldn't control. Otherwise, if she controlled everything, it would be like she was making decisions for her based on her own judgment, which wasn't acceptable.
Mo Bing was not stupid. She understood that the Second Young Lady could make decisions on internal affairs but not on external matters.

After returning to the Qin family, Qin Sheng drank three bowls of water and then went to find his two brothers.
The Zhao family will definitely take the next step, and he feels it is necessary to tell his brothers about this matter.
After Qin Sheng met his two brothers in the spacious study, he briefly explained the matter to them and then stood aside.
Qin Sanlang looked him up and down. "Xiao Liu, you're quite capable. Tsk tsk, I didn't realize you and your future sixth brother's wife were so ruthless."
Qin Sheng ignored him. His third brother was just a nobody. He said they were ruthless, but why didn't he see how Zhao Bin was ruthless towards Lu Songli?
"Your third brother and I know about this. You did nothing wrong." Qin Heng affirmed the actions of his younger brother and future siblings.
He'd been schemed against, and couldn't just sit there and take a beating. Speaking of which, he was quite proud that his younger brother and future siblings were able to turn the tables and even fight back against the schemes. It was better than them getting bullied, coming back to him and crying, and then him picking on them. It was all about covering up, after all. An older brother is like a father, and as the eldest brother, isn't it his duty to cover up?
Qin Heng said to Qin Sheng, "Are you tired? Go and have a rest." You should know that Zhao Bin's fighting ability is not low. His Ah Sheng must have put in a lot of effort to capture him alive.
Qin Sheng nodded. He wasn't really tired, just hungry.
"Brother, you dote on Xiaoliu too much." Qin Sanlang pretended to be jealous.
Qin Heng looked helplessly at his unruly third brother. He said he doted on Xiaoliu, but what about him? From childhood to adulthood, he had always protected this younger brother, fighting with others and standing up for him.
Under his elder brother's gaze as if he were a troublemaker, Qin Sanlang touched his nose.
In a blink of an eye, Qin Sanlang was still smiling, and said with a hint of deep meaning, "Brother, this future sister-in-law of my sixth brother is not simple."
Miss Lu Er did this before she got married. It was because Zhao Bin was being aggressive, but she also wanted to gain the right to speak in the Qin family.
Qin Heng flipped through the official documents and said nonchalantly, "Isn't this good? Being capable is always better than being incompetent and prone to making trouble."
These things happened, and it was just right for them to see what kind of person she was. After she married into the Qin family, they would be able to find a way to get along with her.
Qin Heng was quite open-minded. On the battlefield, soldiers were always the most capable. Those who survived the battle were capable people; the incompetent wouldn't survive. Furthermore, his future brother-in-law was intelligent, and he was very happy for him.
Qin Sanlang thought about what his elder brother said and nodded. It was indeed the case. Wouldn't it be nice if his future sister-in-law was smart? At least she wouldn't be easily tricked.
"Have the results of the horoscope compatibility between Xiaoliu and the second daughter of the Lu family come out?" Qin Heng asked.
Qin Sanlang replied, "Yes, Yunniang said the results were very good. Mother was also very happy to see it."
Qin Heng nodded and said, "I'll write a letter later and send it to the Lu family together with the horoscope results." Going there in person would make it seem like the Qin family takes this matter more seriously, but the intention is more important, and there's no need to show all of their connections and strength.
