Chapter 80: The Most Fearsome is an Unreasonable Father

  Liu Rong furrowed her brow, unable to help but glance at the madam, and saw that the madam was looking at her with a worried expression. Seeing Liu Rong look at her, she nodded at Liu Rong, indicating for her to kneel down quickly, and only then did Liu Rong kneel down.

  "You don't even know what's wrong!" Still that toneless voice, stern and reprimanding!

  Liu Rong furrowed her brow. Before she had even asked about the situation, he scolded her like this. Her heart grew even colder: "I don't know."

  "How dare you! You still claim to know nothing, do you know why there are so many elders waiting for you in the house?! The good deed you've done, and yet you dare to conceal it!" Old Master's voice was stern, almost throwing the tea cup beside him at Liu Rong.

  Liu Rong looked up: "My daughter had just returned from worshiping at the Great Bell Temple when she was called to the main hall, and hadn't done anything wrong. You came in and asked if my daughter knew her mistake. My daughter also wants to know where she went wrong, Father should tell me! If I really did something wrong, then have me kneel here forever, my daughter won't even blink!"

  The maid who was waiting to add water next to her couldn't help but take a deep breath, in this mansion, except for the old master, no one has ever dared to respond to the young master like that!

  "Alright, alright, you've made a mistake, but not admitting it is one thing. How dare you be so rude to your father! Someone, go and call Clock Mother over. I want to ask her how she raised such a child!" Master quickly instructed the servant girl Cui'er beside him, his face darkened by Liu Rong's retort.

  Qiao'er listened to Master's words and hurriedly bowed her body, then ran out of the house.

  The lady saw the situation developing in a bad direction and couldn't help but speak up: "Whatever it is, talk to the child properly, why be so harsh, how can the child not feel sad?"

  While speaking, he glanced at Liu Rong, hinting that she should not be so straightforward, lest she suffer a great loss.

  "Daughter, you should stop spoiling this child. Grandma has told me that the child's temper has been getting worse lately, probably because they think you're spoiling them and have become reckless. If we don't discipline them properly now, it will be even more difficult later on!" said the old master to the lady of the house.

  The madam frowned and glanced at Old Lady Liu, only to see that Old Lady Liu wasn't looking at her, but was instead gazing calmly into the distance.

  The rouge beside her was furious, she had heard the little maid say that it was Liu Dà Niáng herself who spoiled the second young lady to the point of being ignorant of heaven and earth. She asked about the marriage of someone else's son in front of a group of wives, and ended up making everyone laugh, saying that the daughters of Wén Dìng Hóu Fǔ were all so thick-skinned.

  Then she implicated the third young lady, saying that the third young lady had helped someone give birth and was probably no longer a virgin. It's likely that all the daughters of the entire Wen Ding Hou Fu were like this. Having just returned in a hurry to avoid losing face, she actually shifted all the blame onto the third young lady's shoulders. What a shameless stepmother!

  Only poor Third Miss, she wasn't even in the house. Old Madam was worried that her own affair would be exposed, yet she called everyone over and framed Third Miss instead. She said it was all because of Third Miss that her daughter's marriage was difficult to discuss!

  If it weren't for Second Miss's own lack of discretion, even if rumors had spread outside, wouldn't those ladies have their own eyes? How could they possibly think that!

  But then Liu Rong heard the old man say that he wanted to call Clock Aunt to scold her. Her face instantly turned cold, and she didn't kneel anymore. She stood up straight and looked at the old man: "Father, if your daughter did something wrong, you can just tell me directly, why bother calling Clock Aunt for such a small matter!"

  Liu Rong paused slightly: "My daughter asked, just to know where she was wrong, so that she can correct herself properly! Doesn't father even have the patience to teach his children? Or is it just that he doesn't have any for me?"

  Liu Rong looked at Grandpa and asked one sentence at a time.

  Old Master was momentarily speechless, and in an instant, he became furious: "You're still stubbornly denying it, if it weren't for you, how would the reputation of the young ladies in the mansion have become like this? Even when I go to court, I'll be ridiculed because of your affairs. Now, you still don't know what's wrong, and Wen Ding Hou Fu can no longer tolerate a daughter who doesn't repent at all!"

  The old man scolded loudly, but he was completely unreasonable and only cared about losing face outside.

  Liu Rong sneered, so it was just because of his pride that he appeared. For several months, she almost lost her life and had another serious illness, but this so-called father was nowhere to be found. Now, when something has happened to damage his reputation, he dares to come and scold her!

  What a good father, without asking for any reason, just scolding and reprimanding!

  "Alright, if there's something on your mind, then say it clearly. Don't get angry after just three sentences. I taught you to control your emotions, where did you learn that from?" The old master Hou finally spoke up: "Don't you know that your grandmother is not in good health and can't get excited?"

  Everyone followed Old Master Hou's words and looked at Madame Tai, only to see Madame Tai's face pale, with Liu Xuan supporting her on one side, coldly staring at Liu Rong, as if waiting for Liu Rong to die without a place to be buried.

  "Rong Jie, your grandfather is asking you, what's going on? Why are there rumors outside that you and Xiao Shu have a secret relationship, and it's causing such a commotion?" Old Master Hou said with some embarrassment on his face as he looked at Liu Rong to ask.

  "Granddaughter really doesn't know." Liu Rong was perplexed. The version she heard was different from what Old Master Hou had heard? Had it evolved again?

  As she thought about it, Liu Rong couldn't help but look at Old Lady Liu, and saw that Old Lady Liu was staring at her with a cold smile. Liu Rong felt a sense of unease in her heart, and suddenly realized that perhaps when Old Lady Liu had passed on these words, she had added some embellishments, which is why things were the way they were now.

  The madam saw the reaction of Lord Hou after looking at Liu Rong, and her face showed some trust in Liu Rong's words. She quickly spoke up for Liu Rong to Lord Hou: "Lord Hou, these things are indeed suspicious, why not investigate carefully before speaking? What if we misjudge and punish the child wrongly, causing them to be heartbroken, how terrible would that be!"

  Marquis Hou listened to the words of the imperial physician's wife, but had some doubts in his mind. Just then, Liu Dà Nǎi stood beside him and suddenly interrupted: "Grandmother, Third Sister has already caused Eldest Sister's engagement to be broken off. Can this really be fake? Could it be that even in such a situation, Grandmother still wants to favor Third Sister?"

  On the side, Liu Mei suddenly spoke up and turned her head with a sobbing tone to look at Tai Furen: "Tai Zu Mu, are you going to take charge of my sister? She has been hiding in her own room since she returned to the mansion, crying all the time. The Zhang family broke off the engagement, and from now on...my sister will probably..." but couldn't continue speaking.

  Everyone couldn't help but frown, this second young lady's performance was too obvious, it was clear that she didn't want to let the third young lady take over, absolutely unwilling!

  The lady beside her couldn't help but glance at Liu Rong, but she didn't know how the third young lady would react this time.
