Chapter 137 Du Ruo's Little Thoughts

With these words, Du Ruo's face froze instantly.

She looked in astonishment at Qin Shaojing, who was looking at her with a sarcastic smile on his face.

She is Cheng Yunshuo's cousin...the eldest daughter of Duke Qin's mansion? !

"Some people really have dog eyes! They think everyone is the prince's concubine, how ridiculous! How can our eldest daughter be a concubine?"

Qin Shaojing's nanny ridiculed him mercilessly.

In an instant, Du Ruo's face turned even redder.

Qin Shaojing snorted coldly, glanced at Du Ruo, said hello to Lu Lingyun, and walked away directly from Du Ruo with his men.

Du Ruo's face turned even redder.

I was so embarrassed that I wanted to find a way to get in.

At this time, Lu Lingyun's voice came, "Shao Jing just came to the mansion a few days ago. It's normal that you don't know him. I will introduce him to you after dinner."

Du Ruo nodded shyly, "Okay."

At dinner time, Cheng Yunshuo did not come back. He was looking at files in the Duwei Mansion, planning to handle a few more cases before the selection of the Yulin Army.

Lu Lingyun invited Qin Shaojing to her yard for dinner.

"Shao Jing, let me introduce you. This is Yun Shuo's colleague's sister Du Ruo," Lu Lingyun took the initiative to say after everyone met, "Her aunt is ill, so she has to stay in our house for a while."

Qin Shaojing raised his eyebrows slightly after listening to the introduction. Du Ruo, who was sitting opposite him, stood up directly, raised his glass and said cheerfully, "Cousin, I was abrupt this afternoon. I, A Ruo, apologize to you. We are strangers to each other. How about we be friends?"

Qin Shaojing listened to her bold words, "No fight, no acquaintance? Miss Du is really generous."

Du Ruo continued, "I speak directly and don't understand so many twists and turns. Please forgive me, cousin!"

Qin Shaojing didn't say anything, so her nanny spoke up, "What do you mean by speaking directly? What do you mean by not understanding those twists and turns? Why do I feel like what you said is implicitly saying that we are bullying you!"

"Cousin, that's not what I meant." Du Ruo frowned and looked from the nanny to Qin Shaojing, "I just think this is not a big deal, let's just have a drink and forget about it."

Qin Shaojing's nanny sneered again, "Miss Du, you are so boastful. You humiliated our eldest daughter and said it was no big deal and just let it go. What do you mean by that? Are you saying that our young lady is stingy if you don't let it go?"

"That's right, you are the only one who speaks directly, while we are the ones who speak in a roundabout way. Aren't you trying to say that our young lady is not as frank as you?"

"If there are no rules, there are no rules. Just bow your head and say you don't know the rules and ask for forgiveness. There's no need to say so much!"

Qin Shaojing's people talked one after another.

Du Ruo was speechless and looked at Lu Lingyun as if for help.

Lu Lingyun coughed lightly, and the scene immediately became quiet. Lu Lingyun looked at Qin Shaojing who was sitting upright, "Shaojing, Du Ruo is Yun Shuo's apprentice in name only. Yun Shuo said that she had a hard life. She lost her mother when she was young, and she has two older brothers. She has lived with her aunt for a long time, and no one taught her. She realized her mistake today, so please forgive her for my sake."

After Lu Lingyun said this, how could Qin Shaojing not give face? She raised her eyes and looked at Du Ruo who was embarrassed on the opposite side.

"It turns out that Miss Du's life experience is so rough." Qin Shaojing narrowed his eyes and did not take the glass of wine from Du Ruo. "I won't drink the wine. Let's forget about this. Sister-in-law, let's eat."

"Yes, let's eat." Lu Lingjun looked at Du Ruo who was standing.

When Du Ruo saw the person opposite her pick up the chopsticks and start eating, she drank the wine in one gulp and sat down to eat.

Qin Shaojing ate only a few bites before getting up and leaving.

After she left, Du Ruo couldn't help but look downcast, "Master's Wife, I told you, women are troublesome. It's really hard to deal with them."

Lu Lingyun: "......"

Du Ruo put down his chopsticks, looking unhappy, "It's better to live in my brother's house, where there are such messy things. I have never encountered such things in the Duwei Mansion."

She complained one by one, all of them were disgusting.

Lu Lingyun raised her eyes slightly and said, "Then let me ask you, why do you call her aunt directly?"

"I thought she was my master's aunt!" Du Ruo said quickly.

"What do you think?" Lu Lingyun put down his chopsticks and met her eyes. "There are no young ladies in the Marquis's Mansion, but besides the Crown Prince's concubine, there are also maids, servants, me, the Madam, and the Marquis's concubine. This is such a big Marquis's Mansion, and it's your first time entering the inner courtyard. You don't know anyone, but you call someone concubine. Do you think it's really okay?"

Du Ruo was speechless for a moment after being confronted by Lu Lingyun. She met her calm and composed gaze and suddenly looked away.

Yes, Du Ruo knew that it was inappropriate to call someone aunt.

She was deliberately showing off her superiority there.

Because she is Cheng Yunshuo's apprentice.

She relied on her special status as Cheng Yunshuo's only disciple to find her sense of superiority among a group of women.

She could confirm that there were no young ladies in the Marquis's Mansion, so among all the remaining people, whether they were concubines, concubines, or maids, she could feel superior to them.

Who would have thought that I would hit upon such a big nail.

When Lu Lingjun felt Du Ruo's evasive gaze, she knew what was in her mind.

From the beginning to the end, when she knew that Du Ruo had always been hanging out with men, she felt a hidden sense of showing off and pride in her.

She enjoys the feeling of being different and being sought after among men by wearing men's clothing.

Every word she said was meant to belittle other women who followed the rules. She elevated her own actions, using the name of boldness to put herself in a special position, making men look at her in a new light and making other women feel ashamed.

It's not that she doesn't understand the truth, she understands it too well, because she now stands with the image of a generous and quick-witted person, and if others say one more word to her, they are just overthinking.

At this time, Cheng Yunshuo came back.

As soon as Du Ruo saw him, he immediately ran over as if he had seen something, "Master! You are finally back! I really can't live in your house anymore!"

Lu Lingyun listened to the complaint and snorted.

That's it.

He even secretly reported her.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Yunshuo heard her aggrieved voice, "Did anyone bully you?"

Cheng Yunshuo looked at Lu Lingyun.

Lu Lingyun felt the gun pointed at her. She was too lazy to deal with him and picked up her chopsticks to eat. "Let Aruo speak for herself."

She turned the conversation back to Du Ruo directly.

Hearing this, Du Ruo tightened her sleeves and said, "Master, it's nothing. I just bumped into your cousin. I apologized to her, but she looked unhappy. You know I'm not good at talking and I don't know when I offended someone. I'd better go back home."

After Cheng Yunshuo heard this, he said, "I don't care. I'll tell Shao Jing about it someday. You just stay here and learn from your master's wife."
