Chapter 85: Auspicious
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Do you mean that Rui’er lied to us?! But Rui’er isn’t such a person!”
Lin Suisui could deceive the others, but this wasn’t the first day that Miss Zhu and Fang Rui’er had met. She knew Fang Rui’er’s personality very well.
Naturally, she questioned him.
“Rui’er was just joking with you! I also know that this joke has gone too far. I’m punishing her!” Lin Suisui didn’t speak, but Mrs. Luo lifted the curtain that blocked their view and revealed Fang Rui’er, who was kneeling in the corner.
“Don’t worry. After she’s punished, I’ll get her to go door by door to apologize to all of you!
“You girls have known her for so long. This matter is Rui’er’s fault. As her mother, I’ll apologize to you girls on her behalf! Please forgive her for joking this time!”
“Don’t be like this. How can we accept that? If my mother finds out, she’ll beat me to death!”
“That’s right. Since it’s a joke, we’ll leave first. Another day, we’ll call Rui’er out to dig for wild vegetables.”
Although the girls were lively and mischievous, they were still young. They had never seen such a scene before. They immediately bowed to Mrs. Luo and left.
Miss Zhu was left standing there alone. It was extremely awkward.
“Miss, go back first! I’m afraid Rui’er won’t be free today. She’ll go over and talk to you guys tomorrow!”
Mrs. Luo smiled at her and politely asked her to leave.
Miss Zhu turned around and took two steps. Then, she hesitated for a moment before stopping and looking back at Mrs. Luo as she whispered, “Rui’er didn’t do it on purpose. It’s just a joke. We’ve been friends for so long, so we won’t blame her.
Can you spare her this time? It’s so cold. It’s too uncomfortable to kneel as punishment!”
“I’ll accept your kindness on behalf of Rui’er. However, a mistake is a mistake. Even if you plead for her this time and forgive her, she’s still in the wrong.
You guys might not blame her, but our family can’t indulge her!
Fortunately, Madam Liu is a sensible and magnanimous person. Otherwise, wouldn’t both sides suffer if you guys were tricked by her?!
She deserves to be punished!
“Good child, I know you’re kind. Go back quickly. It’s cold outside.”
As Mrs. Luo spoke, she pushed Miss Zhu towards the Zhu family. From the beginning to the end, she didn’t even give Miss Zhu a chance to speak as she sent her away with a smile.
After Mrs. Luo left, Fang Liu sighed and walked to Fang Rui’er, who was crying uncontrollably. She handed the handkerchief to her. “Wipe your tears. Don’t cry anymore!
If you had known earlier, why did you do so?!
You know your mother’s temper. Previously, you didn’t listen to her advice and interacted with Miss Zhu in secret. She was already unhappy. This time, you made such a huge mistake again!
Don’t think that this matter will be over after they leave today!
Let me tell you, there’s probably no way to avoid trouble this time! You know what we relied on to avoid trouble along the way!
If not for Gu Erlang, your father would have lost one leg on the mountain last time!
Her mother had told them more than once to be careful and not do anything that would attract attention!
But what about you? You probably didn’t hear a word.”
Seeing that Fang Rui’er didn’t raise her head, Fang Liu didn’t persuade her further. She squatted down and helped Fang Rui’er wipe the tears off her face. She didn’t forget to analyze the entire story to her. “Previously, when the Du family came looking for trouble, you were so agitated and angry. However, in the blink of an eye, you befriended Su Sanniang!
If I hadn’t stopped you quickly that day, you would have told people everything about Madam Liu telling us to treat the Du sisters!
“You don’t know what’s good for you. You’re always running your mouth off. Now that you’ve caused trouble at home, no matter what, your mother and the rest of us will think of a way to help you make up for it. But when you marry someone in the future, if you still act like this, who will clean up your mess?!”
“I-I really didn’t think too much about it. I was pestered by them at that time, so I-I just blurted it out!” Fang Rui’er lowered her head as she knelt on the ground. She sniffed as she spoke in a low voice, as if to explain or defend herself.
“Sister-in-law, I really know my mistake now. I-I won’t dare to do it again.”
As Fang Rui’er spoke, tears rolled down her face again. She was really frightened this time, not only by her mother and sister-in-law’s attitude, but also what her sister-in-law had just said. She might have caused huge trouble this time…
She didn’t know anything else, but the fate of more than ten people in the Du family was still fresh in her mind!
What if…
“Alright, kneel here and think about it. Think about what you did wrong!” Fang Liu sighed. She had watched her sister-in-law grow up. If her mother hadn’t been ruthless this time, she probably wouldn’t have been able to punish her.
However, although her heart ached, her mother made the right decision to punish her!
From the beginning to the end, Lin Suisui didn’t interfere with Mrs. Luo and Fang Liu’s punishment for Fang Rui’er. Although she had also expected that Little White would be exposed one day, she didn’t expect it to be in such a hasty and chaotic situation.
“It’s fine. I’ll find a chance to tell Pei Qian tomorrow.” At night, Lu Ze listened to Lin Suisui’s description of what had happened during the day. He only thought for a moment before offering a solution to reassure Lin Suisui. “If there’s really no other way, just say that Little White is his and you’re just taking care of it for the time being!”
“Actually, I’m not worried about anything else. It’s mainly Little White’s fur color.” Lin Suisui sighed. Although she felt that Lu Ze’s suggestion was good, she was still a little worried.
Many times, white tigers were treated as auspicious!
If someone really coveted it, would she be able to protect Little White?!
“Don’t be afraid. Little White is auspicious. At least for the time being, we can protect it! As for the future, we still have at least a month’s journey until we reach the northern camp safely. Who knows how many unexpected incidents there will be in this month?!” Lu Ze reached out to tuck Lin Suisui in and coaxed her gently, “Sleep!”
