"Princess — —" The two of them looked at Zheng Qingluo and called out unwillingly at the same time. However, because they saw Seventh Prince sitting at the side when they looked over, they changed their way of addressing her.
"There's a madame and a master here, it's not up to you two to decide. Stand at the back for me, I'll punish you when we get back to the mansion."
Mo Fu was relieved that she had to protect the two of them, even the Inulin that was holding her heart easier than before. Although she was sure that she would be sold and beaten up, she knew that she wouldn't need to take all that pain, and felt much more relieved.
"Father, daughter was the one who was ill-lecturing him, causing you trouble. When we go back, daughter will definitely be severely punished. But, what should Second Sister do now?"
Zheng Qingluo really didn't want to get involved with her family, she didn't understand why these small fights were beneficial to them. Was it just for the fun of it? Too childish. Besides, the guy was getting what she deserved.
"Qingluo, I know you have been wronged, but it is already like this. Qingyan is still unconscious, so you have been punished. As for the little girls, I'll take care of them myself. "
In his heart, he hated the Qiu's, and blamed his two daughters for it. Unfortunately, he had learnt the evil heart of the Madame Zheng, but his second daughter was already like this, how could he not let her go?
They were both his flesh and blood, and the back of his hand hurt him. Although Qingluo's servant girl was not well-behaved, but in the end, she was still a loyal protector of the master, and with such a loyal servant, he could be more at ease with Qingluo being in Prince Yi's Mansion, and would not receive any heavy punishments.
His father is too serious, speaking of this matter, it's my daughter's fault for being careless in walking, causing my grandmother to be burdened, when Second Sister wakes up, how does Second Sister want to argue with me, my father will pass on the message, and I will accept it.
It's not good for anyone, especially if Big Sis and Second Sister are not married yet. If the news spreads, only the bad ones are not good.
Those two were not married yet, if they were willing to go through with it, then they would just have to do it, to see who would suffer more, at worst, it would just be killing an enemy while losing 800, now that he was at Princess Yi, could it be that he really could not afford to lose them?
"Since the matter has been resolved, we shall return to the manor first. If Second Miss has any requests after waking up, I will trouble Father to send someone to the manor to deliver a message to me. I will settle this matter by knocking on his door personally."
When Seventh Prince Luo Qingqi saw that the matter had come to an end, he stood up. In this family, there was really no rest at all.
"It's already noon, you should eat before you leave. How can you go back to your home and leave hungry? Besides, today is three days to go back, it's a big day."
No matter how puzzled Master Zheng was, he knew that he couldn't allow his daughter and son-in-law to return home like this. That would mean breaking off their relationship, and even if he had to say some small things to his daughter, he still wanted her to stay.
"Prince, there's no rush, let's finish our lunch before we leave, I haven't even finished speaking with Grandmother, and furthermore, maybe after we finish our meal, Second Sister can wake up, and then we can talk again."
Zheng Qingluo also understood this logic, so she quickly comforted Seventh Prince Luo Qingqi. How could Luo Qingqi not understand the ingenuity behind this, if he did not understand, he wouldn't have told Qingluo so much yesterday.
Luo Qingqi was actually thinking of how he could make Qingluo feel more at home, even if it was for face, he still wanted to do it for everyone to see. He didn't expect the Zheng Mansion was already in such a state of chaos.
Even if Qingluo didn't have her home, so what? With his protection, even if someone dared to give her face, he would still have to stand up for her.
Seeing that he had not said anything for a long time, thinking that he was still angry, she lightly tugged on his sleeve again, "Your highness, let's go back after dinner. Grandmother has already prepared it long ago."
Knowing that he was angry because of her, Qingluo was no longer angry. She felt sweet in her heart, furthermore, she had suffered such treatment too much in Weir Prefecture.
"That's right, that's right. Your highness, this old man has prepared a banquet for a long time. Please honor me by eating before you return. Also, let me chat with this girl for a while longer."
Hearing Qingluo mention her, the madame knew that Qingluo wanted to stay and eat this meal, and the love she had for Qingluo grew even more. In the end, she was still a child who understood the situation, if the household fell out with the Seventh Prince, the only one who would suffer in the end would be the Zheng Mansion.
"I will follow Grandmother's instructions." Seeing that Qingluo had persuaded him to stay, Luo Qingqi had already given up on the idea, and now that Old Madam Zheng had also spoken, he took the chance to step down from the stage, in order to give some face to Qingluo.
Furthermore, he knew better than anyone that Qingluo didn't have much feelings for this Zheng Mansion. The reason she wanted to stay and ease the atmosphere was because of her Duke Palace.
Seeing that Seventh Prince Luo Qingqi was no longer opposed to it, Madam Zheng quickly ordered, "Quickly bring the people down. The women's table has been brought to my house, and they are still injured, it's not convenient for them to eat outside."
"Bring the men's table to the master's study. Hurry up, the dishes won't taste good when they're cold."
These words caused Zheng Qingjiao's enthusiasm to turn cold. She had originally wanted to enter the main hall and toast to Seventh Prince through the screen to express her feelings.
Firstly, it allowed him to see his decorum. Secondly, it allowed him to have a better understanding of himself than Zheng Qingluo. Secondly, it allowed him to say auspicious words.
Perhaps this incident could make him think about her, but the madame's words had disrupted all of her plans. She could only feel infuriated.
"Grandson, it's better to obey than to be humble. I'll accompany father-in-law now." Seventh Prince Luo Qingqi really didn't like Master Zheng, he was annoyed every time he saw him. Every time he did, he would cause some trouble, making it difficult for people to calm down, not to mention that the person before him was a fool.
Her personality was soft, her ears were soft, and she had always been hard on her third daughter. She hadn't been willing to meet her for years, yet now she was acting so heartbroken.
When the Seventh Prince and the Master Zheng left, the atmosphere relaxed a lot. It had to be said that with the Seventh Prince here, everyone felt pressured, and the air in the room became denser. It was difficult to even breathe.
"Madam, the lunch is ready." Bai Mei came in to report as Huang Xing and Hong Guo hurriedly helped the madame up.
"Let's go, let's go eat some food. Second Sister, there's nothing you can do about this. Dan Feng, you stay here and guard it. When you wake up, remember to call out to us."
Although she was not fond of the little girl, the madame had thought highly of her since she could stand up for her master. No matter what her master was like, she had to be protected once she followed her master, and that was what being a servant was all about.
"Mo Ju, Mo Fu, you two little girls move the chair over, help Qingluo sit on the chair, and then carry her directly to the outer room. Qingluo, is there anywhere else on your body that's painful?
Afraid that Qingluo wasn't feeling well, the madame asked, "Grandmother, please don't worry. It won't hurt anywhere else. I just twisted my ankle so that I can sit." The madame was relieved.
"Bai Mei and Zi Ying, the two of you should help to lift her up as well. The four of them received their orders, lifted up a high-hat teacher's chair, and helped Qingluo into it. They then calmly carried her to the outer room, which was the end of the matter.
"Place a stool in front of Qingluo's feet so that she can support her legs. Remember to place a cushion over her soft and thick legs. It's thicker than the rest." Madam Zheng never stopped giving out orders. It was as if she had never received any instructions at all.
Zheng Qingjiao's face had already turned white. She had never seen the old lady treat him like this before, she was the proper direct daughter of the Zheng Mansion and the first daughter of the. The old lady was probably confused, and could not differentiate the seriousness of the situation.
Hmph, when I enter the Duke's Palace, I'll see if you still dare to ignore me. At that time, I'll let you guys see! Zheng Qingjiao thought like this, and the hatred in her eyes immediately surfaced. She quickly lowered her head, but didn't expect to be seen by Mo Fu.
"Well, today is Qingluo's third day, so no one wants to make such a thing happen. Fortunately, Qingluo is very sensible, and her heart is still in our house. It's because of Qingluo's magnanimity that we can let this matter go."
"I also hope that in the future, our daughters will be able to think for the Zheng Mansion. Since you do not have brothers to help you, you need less help than others, so take care of your sisters. No matter what, it's better to have a family to rely on than to fight alone outside."
The madame raised her glass. At the moment, it was only filled with fruit juice. How could this old man drink wine when he was injured?
"Grandmother's words are reasonable, granddaughter will drink this cup first." She raised her head to drink the fruit juice in front of her, but Zheng Qingjiao's face was full of disapproval. She turned the cup for a long time before raising it to her mouth and taking a sip.
