Chapter 147: Fighting Cheng Yunshuo

"Where is Miss Aruo going?"

As soon as Du Ruo moved, he was stopped by Qian Heng.

"I'm going back! Get out of the way!"

Qian Heng looked Du Ruo up and down, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Didn't Miss A Ruo promise to go drinking with us last time?"

"Yes, it's better to do it today than to wait for another day. Let's go together now!" Liu Fei walked forward with a smile.

There was a gleam in the eyes of the four people.

"I'm not in a good mood today. I won't go."

"Oh, if you're in a bad mood, you should go drink some wine to relieve your depression!"

"That's right, Miss Aruo, if you are unhappy about anything, tell us brothers and we will solve it for you."

"Whoever dares to make our A'ruo angry! I, Guo Zhengming, will be the first one to not let her go!"

"Tell me, who is so blind as to dare to mess with our lovely and pretty little Aruo!"

The four of them chatted with each other, and as Du Ruo listened to them, the defensiveness on her face slowly faded.

"It's nothing. I'm not a stingy person. I won't bother with those old women."

"Miss Aruo is really generous!"

“Sassy!”

"I said Aruo is not an ordinary woman."

"This is the first time I've seen such an interesting woman like Miss Aruo."

Du Ruo completely let down her guard as they praised her. They continued to call her to go drink, and Du Ruo reluctantly followed them.

At this moment, a stern female voice sounded in the corridor.

"Du Ruo!"

When Du Ruo raised her head, she saw Madam Wang walking towards her with great momentum.

Seeing her, the smile on Du Ruo's face immediately turned into annoyance, "Auntie Wang."

"Where are you going now?" Madam Wang glanced at the four Jinwu Guards around Du Ruo.

"They are my brother's colleagues." Du Ruo replied.

Madam Wang looked at each of the four of them warily, then gave Du Ruo a look, "Come inside and talk."

Du Ruo did not dare to disobey her, so he went into the house with Lady Wang.

After the person was taken away, Qian Heng and his companions immediately looked unhappy, but they could do nothing as they did not dare to ask someone to take the person away directly.

It was clear at first glance that he was Du Ruo's elder.

The four of them could only disperse with regret again.

After entering a room, Madam Wang started scolding Du Ruo harshly.

"How could you leave the party alone? Everyone else stayed, but you left!"

"And the hairpin on your head!"

"Sister Lu was kind enough to dress you up, and you just threw it away! Are you worthy of her?"

"You have no idea what you are doing. How can you be so ignorant even at your age?"

Du Ruo frowned at her scolding, "I don't want to attend that kind of party. When you said it was that kind of party, I wouldn't go!"

"How dare you talk back! This is outrageous!"

Just at this moment, the door opened and Cheng Yunshuo came back from patrolling the streets.

When Du Ruo saw him coming back, she immediately ran over as if she had seen a big tree that provided shelter from the wind and rain.

"Master!"

Cheng Yunshuo was slightly startled when he saw Du Ruo, "Why are you here?"

When Madam Wang saw Cheng Yunshuo coming back, the anger on her face subsided, "Master Cheng."

"Madam Wang." Cheng Yunshuo nodded to her as a greeting.

Madam Wang looked at Du Ruo hiding behind Cheng Yunshuo and didn't know how to scold her. She said disappointedly, "That girl is really hopeless!"

"What happened to Aruo?"

"At today's hairpin banquet, she left early without caring about others." Madam Wang explained the whole story.

"Master, I really don't want to attend that kind of banquet." Du Ruo said.

"How dare you say that!" Madam Wang was furious. "Your aunt has been so worried about you, and this is what you say in the end!"

"Did I worry her?"

"You... come here! I must take you back today!"

"Master, I won't go with her." Du Ruo grabbed Cheng Yunshuo's sleeve tightly.

"Mrs. Wang, please don't be angry." Cheng Yunshuo said, "I'll talk about her later."

Madam Wang was not in a position to say anything after hearing this. She glared at Du Ruo and said, "Since that's the case, I won't care about it anymore. I'm sorry to trouble you, my lord."

"Um."

Cheng Yunshuo sent Madam Wang away, and Du Ruo breathed a sigh of relief.

"What trouble have you gotten yourself into again!"

"Master, I really didn't do anything bad. I just don't want to attend that kind of banquet. You know me. I can't get used to being in a place full of women."

Cheng Yunshuo's expression suddenly changed. "Don't say such nonsense again! I'll ask your mistress to discipline you!"

"Master... humph!"

In the evening, Cheng Yunshuo took Du Ruo back to the Marquis' Mansion.

Lu Lingyun found out that Du Ruo went to the Duwei Mansion again in the afternoon.

Seeing them coming back together, she didn't say anything.

Du Ruo was not scolded or criticized, and he left happily after dinner.

After she left, before Lu Lingyun could speak, Cheng Yunshuo spoke first, "Lingyun, did Aruo leave the table without permission today?"

"Yeah." Lu Lingyun responded.

"Why don't you discipline her properly?"

Lu Lingyun: "......"

She looked at Cheng Yunshuo who was serious, frowned and smiled.

All men in this world have a common problem, which is that they naturally push things that they are not responsible for onto their wives.

Lu Lingyun didn't say anything, so Cheng Yunshuo continued, "What can you do if you don't care about Aruo's character? She's not a child anymore."

Lu Lingyun looked at Cheng Yunshuo calmly and said, "My Lord, what is Miss Aruo's status in our house?"

Lu Lingyun's words hit the core of everything.

Du Ruo, who on earth is she?

What is her relationship with Lu Lingyun?

Why should Lu Lingyun be held responsible for what she did!

Cheng Yunshuo was stunned by Lu Lingyun's question. He thought for a moment and said, "Aru is considered a guest."

"Since she is a guest, how can I discipline her?" Lu Lingyun asked Cheng Yunshuo directly.

Cheng Yunshuo was silent for a moment. "Lingyun, you know that Aruo has a miserable life. She has no mother to discipline her. I thought you could discipline her."

"Did you and I cause her miserable life? I am neither her mother nor her elder, so what qualifications do I have to discipline her? Your Highness, you just open your mouth and put such a big hat on me, but who am I to Miss Aruo? If I manage her, what exactly is my identity! Why should she listen to me!"

"Just based on the so-called master's wife? Then I have to ask you, as a master, what did you teach her? Who is her master? Who witnessed it? Can her father, mother, or even an outsider recognize it?"

Cheng Yunshuo: "......"

He was speechless. The master-disciple relationship between him and Du Ruo was purely verbal. During those days, because he lived in the Du family, the two brothers of the Du family treated him very well. He thought Du Ruo was likable, so for the sake of face, he silently accepted it.

It's not a question of recognition or not. It's just that over time, he was treated as a master and became more responsible and concerned about Du Ruo. For the sake of face, he took on this matter for her.

Lu Lingyun looked at him and snorted coldly. All men in this world are the same. For the sake of face, he takes it easy to deal with things outside, and let others do all the work.

She is not used to it!

Cheng Yunshuo looked at Lu Lingyun and said with a red face for a while, "Lingyun, don't be angry."
