Chapter 165 Who is She?
"Young Madam!" When Linglong saw Lu Lingjun coming, she immediately rushed forward to complain as if she had seen her backbone.
"That Aunt Du is really going too far! She stole things in broad daylight!"
Du Ruo also turned to look at Lu Lingyun, with a look of dissatisfaction, "They were the ones who bullied me first!"
"You are really good at confusing right and wrong!" Linglong hadn't argued with anyone for a long time. She had lived in peace for a long time. She just thought she was lucky to be in the mansion and meet a good mistress. Suddenly, she was bullied like this. She forgot how to retort for a moment, "Why are you so mean!"
"How dare you call me a bitch!"
"Enough, what's going on!" Lu Lingyun interrupted the two people who were arguing and looked at the people below.
The little maid quickly stepped forward and told her the whole story.
After she finished speaking, Du Ruo said with a look of grievance, "Young Madam, did you hear clearly? There are three pieces of fabric in total. They chose them first, and the remaining one was given to me. Isn't this obviously bullying me?"
"Things in the mansion have always been divided like this. We always go by first come first served. Who is bullying you?"
"Why do you say first come first served? I am the concubine after all. According to the rules of the Marquis' Mansion, I should choose first!"
"I have never heard of your rules!"
"Oh, you don't even know the rules of the Marquis' Mansion, you really deserve a beating!"
The two of them were arguing loudly, and Lu Lingyun's face darkened. "That's enough!"
Her voice immediately interrupted the two of them. Lu Lingyun glanced coldly at Du Ruo who was already holding the material, "This material is yours."
When Du Ruo heard this, a big smile appeared on her face, and she proudly cast a contemptuous look at Linglong.
The next moment, Lu Lingyun said, "Linglong, go to the warehouse and pick out a piece of fabric."
"That's it for this time. Next time when materials are delivered, all the concubines will come to my yard to choose together!"
Lu Lingyun has always been fair, and she really doesn't want to interfere in such trivial matters.
But it wouldn't work without rules either, because no matter how she distributes it, it will cause dissatisfaction among them.
So next time I'll ask all these people to come to her yard to choose on the spot, and then see what they're up to!
When Du Ruo heard Lu Lingyun say this, she was still a little dissatisfied, but fortunately, she won this time.
She glanced at Linglong, who was feeling depressed, and held her own material, "Mrs. Xie."
Linglong, who was standing by, looked up at Lu Lingjun and said, "Mrs. Xie."
She didn't suffer a big loss. Lu Lingyun asked her to go to the warehouse and choose the items herself, so she had no complaints.
It’s that...Du Ruo!
Very good, wait for her!
After Lu Lingyun sent the two men away, he turned around and went back.
As soon as he turned around, he met Liu Qingping's eyes widened with shock.
"Big sister, that, that Du Ruo, how come she became a concubine!"
On the way back to the courtyard, Liu Qingping accepted the fact that Du Ruo would become a concubine in the Marquis's mansion.
Throughout the whole process, the expressions on her face were extremely complicated.
She really didn't expect that Du Ruo would become someone's concubine and end up like this.
Mingming clearly felt that she was quite individual and cool the last time they met. Even though her words were a little off-key and she looked ambitious, she still looked up to her.
But now, he was competing with the woman in the backyard for a piece of fabric.
This was simply... a complete surprise to her!
"She is now Madam Du of the mansion," Lu Lingyun said, "but you don't have to worry about her. During this time, just follow the teaching nanny and learn the rules and regulations, and also learn how to manage the household from me."
Liu Qingping nodded, "Yes, big sister."
When Du Ruo returned victorious today, she felt that Linglong was just so-so.
In the evening, Cheng Yunshuo came back. He knew that Lu Lingyun's cousin had come to the Marquis's Mansion again. He was very polite and did not eat in Lu Lingyun's yard. He went directly to his own Zhaoguang Pavilion.
This meant that Du Ruo had missed the target again.
She realized that Cheng Yunshuo might not go to Lu Lingyun during this period of time. Thinking of this, she changed the direction of her route and followed the route Cheng Yunshuo took when he returned, but she found that she could not wait for him.
Du Ruo was confused.
Today, she deliberately waited on the way Cheng Yunshuo returned home, just waiting to watch over him.
At this time, a slender woman walked over slowly, waving a palm-leaf fan.
"Is Aunt Du here to take care of the prince?"
Linglong led the maid and walked over slowly. When she saw Du Ruo waiting, a sneer appeared on her face.
"Is it your business?"
Du Ruo looked at her unhappily.
Linglong looked at the arrogance between her brows and said, "Auntie Du, please wait patiently. I have to go back and wait for the prince to have dinner together."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away with her people.
No matter how dumb Du Ruo was, he figured it out. "What trick did you use to seduce the prince?"
During this period of time, she couldn't wait for Cheng Yunshuo no matter where she went. Now that she thinks about it, it might be Linglong's doing!
She must have heard some rumors or made some tricks to make Cheng Yunshuo avoid her and not meet her!
"What do you mean by a trick?" Linglong's eyebrows were tinged with a hint of provocation, "The prince has been very tired recently, and he wants to find a quiet place when he comes back. I take good care of the prince, so he naturally doesn't want to see other women! Aunt Du should save her worries and go back."
Originally, Du Ruo's entry into the mansion had no impact on her, as they were all concubines. Linglong gradually became a Buddhist in this peaceful backyard. Even if Du Ruo wanted to compete for some favor, she didn't think it was a big deal.
But unfortunately, she openly bullied her, how could she endure it!
After his material was stolen that day, she whispered in Cheng Yunshuo's ear at night to get revenge.
She came from a brothel and was very good at capturing men's hearts. She used all her means and tricks to arouse Cheng Yunshuo's heart and asked him to go back to Yaoguang Pavilion as soon as he came back and avoid others on the way.
When Du Ruo heard this, she immediately guessed the reason, "You bitches from brothels are really good at seducing men!"
"Tsk!" Linglong quickly shouted at Du Ruo to shut up. "In this mansion, it is not allowed to mention prostitutes. The prince will not like it if he hears it."
"I mentioned it! You are all scumbags from brothels! Each one is more scumbag than the other! That wonderful woman was a scumbag! You seduced my master and made him crazy! You were born scumbags, you are so dirty that you can't be any dirtier!"
"Who are you calling a jerk?"
At this time, a low and suppressed male voice sounded.
Du Ruo's whole body tensed up. She turned her head stiffly and saw Cheng Yunshuo returning from court.
Cheng Yunshuo walked towards her with a cold body.
Du Ruo's eyes were filled with nervousness and she said, "Master..."
"Pa!" Cheng Yunshuo slapped her on the face.
For a moment, Du Ruo froze.
"If you dare to scold her again, you can go back to your home!"
Cheng Yunshuo was more cold and serious than ever before.
I don’t know if this “she” is talking about Linglong or someone else.
After saying that, Cheng Yunshuo went straight to Linglong and looked at her with distressed eyes, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Prince." Linglong's eyes were full of grievance and understanding. The moment she turned around, she glanced at Du Ruo with a hint of provocation between her brows.
What that means is, she is still too young to fight with her!
