Chapter 163 Remembering Lu Lingyun’s Mother Tong

Hot tea was served in front of Lu Lingjun. She listened to Mrs. Liu's words and drank the hot tea slowly. In Mrs. Liu's burning anticipation, she said slowly, "Hanyi has been wronged like this. I am my sister." I definitely want to help.”

"That's right!" When Liu heard Lu Lingyun's response, her smile became more sincere. "Mom, I was right about you. Of all the children, you are the most sensible and understanding!"

After praising her, Lu Lingyun said slowly, "By the way, mother, I just happen to have something to talk to you about."

Liu immediately became alert, "What's the matter?"

"My dowry maid Chunhe was assigned to the purchasing agent of the mansion, but when I counted my dowry list, I found that their indentures were not there." Lu Lingyun took the opportunity to tell the story.

Liu's smile froze slightly.

"I know my mother must have been busy arranging my marriage and forgot it. I need it now," Lu Lingyun continued to look at Liu with a smile, "give me all their indentures this time. I will write a letter to Li Er when I go back and let him know that Han Yi is not someone who can be easily bullied. She has connections in her family!"

Lu Lingyun spoke sincerely and told Liu in a tactful way.

If Liu didn't give her a contract to sell her, she would never have been able to support Lu Hanyi.

In an instant, Liu was lifted up.

Normally, she might have been able to get rid of the problem by saying that the indenture was inconvenient to find and she would give it to Lu Lingyun when she found it. But now, Lu Lingyun forced her to respond on the spot.

She gives it or not.

Whenever she gave, Lu Lingyun would support Lu Hanyi's waist.

If she doesn't give it to him, Lu Lingyun will definitely not back up.

But it was Liu herself who brought up the topic. She couldn't just say now that she would ignore Lu Hanyi!

Lu Hanyi is her only biological daughter!

Liu was completely out of choice. She looked at Lu Lingyun's smile, and after some hesitation, she finally gave in.

"I was so busy that I forgot," she turned around and scolded her nanny, "How can you do things? You neglected such an important matter! You waited until our eldest daughter found out before asking me for it. If people tell others, they will think I am holding our eldest daughter hostage!"

"Yes, yes, it was my fault!"

"Why don't you hurry up and find the indentures of those maids!"

Lu Lingyun gave her a step and she went down it.

She scolded her own nanny and apologized to Lu Lingyun on the surface. It’s not that she was taking advantage of Lu Lingyun, but she really neglected it.

Lu Lingyun sat beside them and smiled, but did not reveal anything.

As people, we have to give each other some face in order to get by.

After a while, the head nanny brought over a stack of indentures.

"Lingyun, take a look, is there any problem?"

Lu Lingyun took the indentures and read through each one. After checking, she smiled and said, "No problem, mother. I was still thinking about how to start the conversation at home. I thought that mother must have been busy and forgot."

"Yes, I was preparing weddings for you and Hanyi at the same time. How could I not be busy?" Liu looked at Lu Lingyun again, "What about your sister?"

"Leave it to me. I'll send a letter to Li Er when I get back. Our girl must not be bullied by outsiders!"

"yes!"

Lu Lingyun returned victoriously and sent a letter to Lu Hanyi and Li Er to ask for the indentures of her maids who had come with her as dowry back.

In fact, when it comes down to it, with Lu Lingyun's identity and current status, the Liu family no longer has any other power to control her.

Once Lu Lingjun opened her mouth, she had no choice at all.

At most she could just procrastinate. It was useless for her to hold the servants' indentures.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to find a supporter from your own daughter.

But for Lu Lingyun, now that the indenture contract was in her hands, her power became even greater.

With just a little insignificant effort and face, she was able to get her things back from Liu smoothly.

In this game, Lu Lingyun made a lot of money.

She left Lu's house.

When leaving the room, Liu suddenly thought of something, "Lingyun, I have something bad to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Isn't your cousin Qingping engaged? Your aunt told me that she wants her to go to your house to learn some manners. Your house is strict with manners and people know a lot. If she learns more and marries, she will be looked up to."

It turned out that Liu Qingping was going to get married.

After all, this is not learning rules, this is just trying to make a fortune. In the future, it will be said that it was the governess of the Marquis's mansion who taught her. After Liu Qingping gets married, her husband's family will definitely not find fault with her rules.

"OK."

Lu Lingyun is always happy to do such things that are beneficial and cost-free.

"Well, I'll leave all the housework to you!"

At this time, Lu's father also came back from court. Lu Lingyun invited him to dinner at Lu's house. During the meal, they talked about other things, which made Lu's father very satisfied.

The more he looked at her, the more he felt that the daughter born to his first wife, Tong, was the best.

For a moment, he thought of his well-educated, gentle and virtuous first wife.

Lu Lingyun's mother, Tong, who died early, was the eldest daughter of the Tong family, a prestigious family in Jiangnan. But he was a poor son whose family had fallen into poverty. His family became increasingly impoverished and he could not even go to Beijing to take the imperial examination. His mother then remembered the arranged marriage for him by her ancestors and wanted to ask him to go to the Tong family to marry and ask for help.

The Tong family naturally refused to admit it, and the Lu family didn't even have the token of trust at that time.

At that time, when he was looked down upon by the Tong family and was about to be kicked out, he met Tong. After Tong knew the whole story, she gave him a lot of money in private and told him to come back to propose marriage after he passed the imperial examination, and she would wait for him no matter how long it took.

After Lu's father passed the imperial examination and got married, he returned to the family home, but still encountered a lot of trouble. However, Tong insisted on fulfilling her promise to marry him, even at the cost of breaking up with her family. Because of this, after Tong's difficult delivery, the Tong family never showed up again, and Lu Lingyun had no relatives from her mother's side.

Father Lu felt sad for a moment when he saw such an outstanding Lu Lingyun. If Tong was still alive, their family might be better off.

At least each of the children will be as worry-free as Mrs. Tong.

After Lu Lingyun left, Lu's father was reluctant to move.

Liu snorted in a neutral tone, "Lingyun just heard that Hanyi was wronged and said she would write a letter to Li Er when she got home. We can't let outsiders bully our daughter."

She said this to provoke Lu's father, telling him that Lu Hanyi's sister helped her, but he, as a father, did not help.

But before she finished speaking, Father Lu snorted coldly, "If your daughter was half as sensible as Lingyun, she wouldn't be so useless and stupid! You still have the nerve to ask Lingyun to write a letter to help her!"

After saying this, Mr. Lu left.

Liu: “…”

Lu Lingyun returned to the Marquis' Mansion. After returning, she casually wrote a letter to Li Er.

You don't need to worry too much, just write it casually.

The sun was idle and the backyard was peaceful. She leisurely looked at the account book and the children.

Two or three days passed in a flash, and Liu Qingping came to her house.
