Chapter 79: The Grand Hall Trial

  Liu Rong slightly shook her head, handing it over to this unreliable and careless person, she really didn't have much confidence, but under the current circumstances, she couldn't recognize anyone else either, so she could only believe in Zuo Tingxuan once again.

  But anyway, it's finally settled. Thinking so, Liu Rong returned to the house and felt that the atmosphere in the house was very strange. As soon as she entered the house, everyone stared at her, except for Miss Chen Er who smiled and looked at her own fingers, wondering what she was thinking about.

  Liu Rong furrowed her brow, but still smiled at everyone and was about to sit down next to Old Madame Liu when she saw Old Madame Liu's face turn iron-gray as she stood up: "Today's oil money has also been added, my family's old madam is slightly unwell, so we will take our leave first, ladies please continue chatting."

  She said, leading the way out first. When she walked to Liu Rong's side, she glared at her fiercely before continuing to walk out. Liu Ming was also full of anger on his face, while only Liu Yun had a pale and dazed expression as he passed by her side.

  Liu Rong guessed, and felt a warmth in her hand. A small hand was inserted into hers, Liu Rong lowered her head and saw Liujie looking at her with concern.

  Liu Rong smiled and comforted, holding Liu Xiao's hand as they followed the last one, Liu Xian, walking out.

  Only after they got outside and the women were gone did Liu Dainai glare at Liu Rong with a dark expression: "You should have been expelled from the Wendinghou Fu in the first place, now you won't implicate the fu. You've done a good deed, now everyone knows about the commotion! I'll see how you explain it to everyone when you get back!"

  Liu Dainai got on the carriage, and others also got on one after another. However, no one was willing to share a carriage with her. Liu Yun, Liu Ming, and Liu Qing all got on one carriage, leaving only the last carriage standing alone in its original place.

  Liu Rong shook her head. If it weren't for asking Dong Er to find out about things in advance, I'm afraid this would only be left with confusion and unease towards ignorant things.

  "Third sister, what's wrong?" Liu Xiang'er looked at Liu Rong with some concern. Little kids may not understand things sometimes, but they are the most sensitive and can feel changes in atmosphere faster than anyone else.

  Liu Rong lowered her head and smiled: "Nothing, just a little pleased. I've always felt that the three-person carriage is a bit cramped. This will finally be able to sit in a more spacious carriage. Let's get on the carriage."

  As she spoke, Liu Rong led Liu Si'er to the horse-drawn carriage and personally helped her up into it before following after.

  The wet nurse looked around and asked in a low voice, "Third Miss, Winter hasn't arrived yet. Are we leaving now?"

  Liu Dainai's carriage had already driven away, without waiting for them at all.

  Liu Rong slightly shook her head: "I had Dong'er go take care of something. I reckon she'll be back at the manor on her own later."

  The wet nurse wanted to ask something but hesitated and finally turned it into a warning: "Third Miss, you'd better be more careful today, or things might not go well when you return home."

  Liu Rong nodded to thank the wet nurse, then lifted the curtain and got into the carriage. She leaned lightly against the wall of the carriage, let out a slight sigh, and felt a small body leaning against her own. Lowering her head, she saw that Liu Xiaojie was looking up at her with an anxious expression on her little face, although she hadn't asked anything.

  Liu Rong reached out and touched Liu Jie's head: "Are you unhappy about coming out to burn incense today?"

  Sixth sister shook her head.

  "What's wrong?" Liu Rong asked patiently.

  "The people in the house don't like us, and Eldest Aunt seems to be angry about it." After a long while, Liu Jie finally muttered out a sentence.

  Saying that, she looked at Liu Rong with concern: "But when Eldest Aunt saw Third Sister come in, she seemed even angrier. Will Eldest Aunt punish Third Sister and not give her dinner?"

  At this point, Liu Jie was a bit worried and anxious, and after a while, she spoke to Liu Rong again like a little adult: "Third sister, don't be afraid. If Auntie punishes you like this, I'll secretly ask the wet nurse to send delicious food to Third Sister."

  Liu Rong hugged Liu Jie tightly: "Don't worry. Third sister didn't do anything wrong, how could Eldest Aunt punish her? Don't think too much, Six, you must be tired from being out all day, why don't you take a nap on my lap first, I'll wake you up when we arrive."

  Sixth sister seemed to be somewhat puzzled as to why Liu Rong suddenly hugged herself, but she didn't struggle, only obediently letting Liu Rong hold her, and waited until Liu Rong finished speaking before nodding with a puzzled expression.

  Liu Rong smiled and put down Liu Jie, telling her to lie down properly before taking out the quilt that had been placed aside and covering Liu Jie with it.

  It seemed that she was indeed tired, and before long, Liu Yuer had fallen asleep on her sister's lap.

  Liu Rong couldn't close her eyes and cultivate her spirit, she still didn't know what was waiting for her after returning to the mansion. With Liu Dà Niáng's temperament, she probably wouldn't handle it personally, but would go tell Tai Furen about this matter.

  The trouble that follows will probably be no small matter.

  The horse carriage went forward with a swaying motion, probably because the coachman saw that the last carriage of the madam was not waiting for it and was in a hurry, this road was faster than when they left the mansion of Duke Weng.

  As expected, upon returning to the mansion, the maid waiting at the gate informed Liu Rong that Madame wanted her to go to the main hall.

  Liu Rong nodded to the maid, then turned around and gave some careful instructions to the wet nurse. After that, she had the wet nurse take the still sleeping Liu Si'er back, before following the maid forward.

  The wet nurse, however, was holding Liu Ruo'er and watching the back of Liu Ying getting farther and farther away. She was worried in her heart, but there was nothing she could do about it. After all, she was just a small wet nurse who couldn't help with anything. In the end, she let out a sigh, thinking that if it were Zhong Yiniang or Dà Nǎinai, Third Miss wouldn't have to be so passive. Whether good or bad, there would at least be someone to speak up for her.

  Now... she has to bear everything by herself...

  The maidservant who was doing chores along the way saw Liu Rong and retreated to the side with a strange expression, but Liu Rong didn't mind and just continued walking.

  The maid who led the way in front saw that Liu Rong had become like this, but was still so calm and composed, and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration and added a few points of respect.

  Dai De didn't make things difficult for Liu Rong and quickly entered the main hall to report, then led Liu Rong into the main hall.

  As she entered the main hall, Liu Rong was slightly surprised, because this time in the main hall, there were not only the elderly lady and the madam, but also three men. One of them she had seen before, it was that completely heartless Second Master. The other two, one sat beside the madam, and the other sat beside Liu's wet nurse, who was now frowning at her.

  Liu Rong lowered her head, and if she wasn't mistaken, the frowning man looking at her was probably the father she had never seen since falling into the water, the eldest son of the Wending Hou Mansion.

  Before Liu Rong could think much, she saw this ruthless father open his mouth: "Still not kneeling down?"
