Chapter 149 Formal Discipline of Du Ruo
Lu Lingyun told Madam Wang the general story.
It was just the same thing, there was no need to exaggerate. After hearing this, Madam Wang immediately showed a look of solidarity, "Your Highness, you scolded me well!"
Lu Lingyun: "......"
"That girl Aruo deserves a good lesson. She has no rules all day long, never listens to anyone, has no respect for elders and is lawless. You guys are doing a good job of teaching her a lesson!"
Madam Wang came here naturally at the request of Aunt Aruo.
If Aruo went back crying, she would have to ask everything clearly. What if she was bullied?
After Wang Niangzi knew the whole story, she felt relieved. "Don't worry, Sister Lu, I will explain this matter to Aunt A Ruo. You have suffered a lot."
"Sister Wang, you are too polite. I was thinking that what we did was not right. How can we treat guests like this?"
"Sister Lu, please stop talking. You have done well enough."
Madam Wang left the Marquis's Mansion.
The next day, Lu Lingyun was enjoying the rare quietness in the backyard.
Qin Shaojing went to Duke Xu's mansion, and during the leisurely time in the backyard when Du Ruo was not there, someone came to report.
Du Ruo was taken back again.
Du Ruo's two elder brothers, Du Yang and Du Tai, personally brought Du Ruo to the house to pay apology.
Cheng Yunshuo also came along.
"This must be my sister-in-law!"
"Sister-in-law, we did something wrong."
Two men who looked 60% like Du Ruo led Du Ruo, who was lowering his head and looking defeated, into the reception hall.
After coming in, he apologized to Lu Lingyun directly.
At the same time, he said to Du Ruo, "Kneel down and admit your mistake in front of your master's wife!"
Du Ruo was very reluctant and turned his head away.
Seeing this, Lu Lingyun said, "Quickly, don't bother. Miss Aruo is a guest at our mansion, and I didn't treat her well enough. How can I admit my mistake?"
Hearing what Lu Lingyun said, Du Yang and Du Tai said, "Sister-in-law, we only have this one sister. Our mother died young and our aunt is seriously ill. We really can't take care of her anymore."
"Sister-in-law, I know you've taken great pains for her, but this little girl doesn't appreciate it and has wasted your kindness. We sincerely apologize to you. Please be magnanimous and don't blame her."
This is going to be a big fight. Lu Lingyun looked at Cheng Yunshuo, and Cheng Yunshuo said, "Lingyun, Ayang and Atai told me a lot. Aruo really has nowhere to go now. Why don't she stay in our house?"
Lu Lingyun: “….”
"Don't worry. This time, I've made it clear to them. If Aruo comes to our place again, you just need to discipline her, whether you want to beat her or scold her."
"That's right, sister-in-law, you can discipline her harshly. We will accept whatever you do!"
"Even if you beat her to death, it will still be ours!"
"And don't worry, once we find a husband for her, we'll take her away!"
Du Yang and Du Tai talked to each other.
Lu Lingyun: "......"
"Take it. This time, I will manage it with you." Cheng Yunshuo also said.
Well, I still can’t escape.
Lu Lingyun looked at the dejected Du Ruo and said, "Miss A Ruo, are you willing to stay with me?"
Du Ruo no longer had the dashing and bold look he had before. He lowered his head and reluctantly said, "Yeah."
"You have to think clearly about what you are going to say this time. If you don't listen..."
"Sister-in-law, just beat her to death!"
"If this girl doesn't listen and learn the rules, we will just pretend she doesn't exist! Do you hear me, Du Ruo?"
Du Ruo listened to his brothers' words, holding back his strength and clenching his fists.
"I understand. I will listen carefully to the Crown Prince's wife!"
She no longer called her Master's Wife, but instead called her the Crown Prince's Wife.
After hearing this, Lu Lingyun said nothing more, "Let them stay."
After Lu Lingyun agreed, everyone expressed their gratitude and thanked her profusely.
Lu Lingjun smiled, and seeing Cheng Yunshuo here, he led Du Ruo downstairs first.
After leaving the table, Lu Lingyun looked at Du Ruo, who was still hanging her head and looking very depressed, and she knew that she would have a hard time after returning.
She didn't have a so-called home at all. One place was with her brother and the other was with her aunt, and neither of them could keep her.
Even if she went back crying, neither side was willing to keep her.
He must have felt this at home, which is why he was taken back unwillingly.
"Miss Aruo, since I have officially been entrusted by your family this time, I will discipline you well. If you behave like before, I will definitely punish you. If you don't listen to me again and again, I will not let you stay."
Du Ruo clenched his fists after hearing this, "I understand."
After making things clear, Lu Lingyun didn't talk to her any more. This time, she asked someone to take Du Ruo to live in the courtyard of the inner courtyard. She chose a small courtyard closest to her, Xiaoheyuan.
She had come here as a guest before, and this time she was considered a temporary stay for the women in the inner courtyard.
This time was different from the previous times. After Du Ruo moved into the inner courtyard, Lu Lingjun arranged a maid and a tutor for her. The maid was Xiaoqin from her courtyard, and the tutor was from the Qin family. At the same time, she was given a bunch of rules and asked to recite them.
The next day I came to her and recited it.
Du Ruo looked at the thick stack of family rules and frowned.
The next day, when he came to recite in front of Lu Lingyun, he stuttered and only recited one or two sentences.
Lu Lingyun knew at a glance that she had not memorized it well at all, and immediately hit her palm with a ruler.
“Snap! Snap! Snap!”
Du Ruo was really beaten, and she looked at Lu Lingyun in disbelief.
Lu Lingyun only met her gaze coldly, "Go back and copy it ten times. If you still can't memorize it tomorrow, I'll spank your palms! This continues until you memorize it."
Discipline means serious discipline, it can't be the same as before.
Du Ruo was left in Lu Lingyun's yard and was taught by the teacher how to behave for a long time before being let back.
If Du Ruo dared to show any dissatisfaction, the teacher would beat him with a ruler, and Lu Lingyun would watch him in person.
In just three days, Du Ruo had changed rapidly.
For several nights in a row, Du Ruo didn't come over for dinner.
After Cheng Yunshuo finished his work that day, he did not see Du Ruo, "Why is Du Ruo not here?"
"Copy the house rules in the house." Lu Lingyun said in a neutral tone while eating the food.
After hearing this, Cheng Yunshuo said only one word, "Okay."
He had experienced disciplining Du Ruo before, so he didn't think Lu Lingjun was going too far. Since Lu Lingjun agreed to discipline her, that was all that mattered.
"By the way, Brother Aruo told me that Madam Wang will be here tomorrow."
"Oh? What are you doing here, Sister Wang?"
"Aruo's aunt has chosen three families for Aruo. Tomorrow, she will ask Madam Wang to come over and ask you to take a look at them together."
After hearing this, Lu Lingyun nodded and said, "Okay."
The next day, when Lady Wang came over, Du Ruo was reciting the family rules in front of Lu Lingyun.
