A woman's appearance is of utmost importance, especially in families like theirs, where women rely on their upbringing and beauty to secure a good husband, which is also beneficial to the prosperity of the family in the future.
If that little girl really scratches Xue'er's face, Xue'er's life will be ruined, and all their years of nurturing Xue'er will have been in vain.
"Madam Lu, this is just children having a fight. We'll have Xue'er apologize to Miss Youyou. Please don't let her..."
"What, does Madam Tan have a problem with this?"
He Jiuniang interrupted her, looking at her coldly as she spoke, leaving Madam Tan's words stuck in her throat.
Lu Baichuan said, "So, you're saying you're unwilling?"
Tan Yunfei hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "That's not how it is. We know we've wronged Miss Youyou, and we're willing to compensate you!"
Mrs. Tan also said, "Yes, we can compensate you! Miss Youyou can have whatever amount you want, we sincerely want to apologize!"
That's what I meant...
Before the Lu family could speak, Mrs. Zhang spoke up.
"Lord Tan, Madam Tan, you're overestimating yourselves. Do you think the Lu family is short of money? Do they care about your little bit of money?"
Madam Zhang looked at her with disdain, thinking that the Tan couple were just clueless.
Lu Baichuan's official rank is evident, and he is also the most capable subordinate of Prince Chen, so the rewards he receives are undoubtedly substantial.
And then there's He Jiuniang. She sees patients in her clinic and runs so many businesses. Lu Heiya and her series of snacks and Jiayuan Pavilion are making a fortune every day. The couple are both good at making money. Do they look like they're short of money?
As soon as Madam Zhang finished speaking, the Tan couple's expressions turned very ugly.
Although they knew the Lu family was not short of money, they subconsciously felt that the Lu family was a rising star and their family background was definitely not as good as theirs, whose ancestors had assets.
Moreover, country folk have always valued money. Even if they have money now, as long as they offer enough benefits, there will definitely be no problem. But it was ruined by that fat old woman from the Zhang family.
"We are not like this..."
Mrs. Tan tried to explain with difficulty, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say, and she was extremely embarrassed.
He Jiuniang glanced at her and said, "Now there are two choices: either let the child solve it in his own way, or I will do it myself. However, if I do it myself, I won't know my own strength, and Miss Tan's face will have more than just these injuries."
She was too lazy to argue here. If she could take action, she would rather not waste words. Anyway, it was impossible for You to suffer any grievances. Otherwise, how would she explain it to her second brother and sister-in-law later?
The Tan couple were startled and looked at He Jiu Niang with some surprise.
What does she mean by saying that? Does she, an adult, have the right to argue with a child?
This is not a big deal at all, so why is the Lu family so insistent on making a fuss about it?
She quietly tugged at her husband's sleeve, hoping he could come up with an idea.
Tan Yunfei was also furious. Although the Lu family was indeed favored now and they did want to build connections, which was why they sent their daughter here to suffer, in the end they were just peasants. They really thought they were some important people.
They even tried to physically punish his daughter! They really dared to do that!
"Madam Lu, since Lord Lu is here, it would be best if you, as a woman, did not make any decisions on your own. I believe Lord Lu will consider the bigger picture! My Xue'er may have made a mistake, but she is just a child. She should apologize to Miss Youyou. Why hold onto such a small matter? What do you think, Lord Lu?"
He glanced at He Jiuniang with disdain, thinking that women from the countryside were just vulgar. Although she was very beautiful, she couldn't hide her rough and uncouth nature.
Lu Baichuan turned to look at him, and seeing his arrogant demeanor, he smirked.
Without saying a word, he waved his hand, and Tan Yunfei was sent flying far away by a powerful burst of internal force.
Now, Sun felt much better. If her third son's wife hadn't been holding her back, she would have already gone up and taught that little bastard a lesson.
If someone is all grown up and still can't speak, then there's no point in keeping their mouth!
When Mrs. Tan and her daughter saw Tan Yunfei being thrown back by the shockwave, they rushed over to help him up.
Lu Baichuan then spoke: "I think you deserve to die for disrespecting my wife."
He had used some force in that palm strike, and now Tan Yunfei felt an unbearable pain in his chest. He tried to speak, but instead spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Lu Baichuan, don't go too far!"
Madam Tan glared at Lu Baichuan with resentment in her eyes. He actually dared to take action over such a trivial matter; he was truly lawless!
"Shut up, what are you doing interrupting when a man is talking?"
Lu Baichuan glanced at her and returned the words Tan Yunfei had just said.
Because of Sun's teachings, the Lu family members do not have any preference for sons over daughters. In fact, because Sun is the head of the Lu family and He Jiuniang built the family business, which is now managed by the women, the women in the Lu family have a very high status. Yet, Tan Yunfei ridiculed them. Who could stand that?
"you……"
Mrs. Tan was so angry that she couldn't speak, and could only look at her husband with worry.
He Jiuniang looked at the Tan couple smugly and said to Madam Tan, "You didn't expect that, did you? When I get into trouble, someone will cover for me, but you don't."
Mrs. Tan: !!!
She looked at her husband, who was standing beside her speechless, and was so angry that she felt like she was going to grind her teeth to powder.
He Jiuniang said to her children, "You guys go and hold them down, don't stop Youya from avenging herself."
The kids, hearing that they could finally go on stage, excitedly went forward.
The Tan family brought a few servants, but they had no intention of fighting. They only brought ordinary servants and maids who were no match for the Lu family's young men.
Several people, including the Tan couple, were all held down by the Lu family's brats, leaving only Tan Xue'er.
It was only then that Tan Xueer realized she was scared.
She wasn't afraid just now because she felt that with her parents by her side, they would definitely protect her no matter what. But now, her father was injured, and all the servants in the house were being held down, so there was no one to help her.
At that moment, Lu Youyou had already walked towards her.
She involuntarily took a step back, her hands trembling slightly.
She was able to teach Lu Youyou a lesson in the shop before because someone helped her hold her down, but now that no one is helping her, she knows she definitely can't beat Lu Youyou.
She got up and tried to run, but Lu Youyou caught up instantly, kicked her to the ground, then straddled her and started scratching her face.
"Ahhh, my face! Daddy, Mommy, help me, waaaaaah..."
She screamed in fear, but her parents could do nothing because the Lu family boys, though young, were all skilled fighters and they couldn't beat them.
