Chapter 3 Kneel Until I Tell You to Get Up
Lan Hui's face was grim, she felt ashamed and annoyed.
In the past, I only thought Mu Qingyan was stupid and useless. Apart from fooling her, I never took her seriously. I didn't expect that she would have such thoughts!
She could have married her beloved in a grand ceremony, and she wouldn't have to be set rules by her mother-in-law after she got married!
However, if she married into the family with the reputation of losing her virginity before marriage, the wife of the Marquis of Xiangning would no longer be as kind to her as before... Just now, she saw disgrace in the eyes of her future mother-in-law...
Today’s humiliation is all due to Mu Qingyan!
"I harmed you?" Mu Qingyan laughed, "You are so funny. Did I strip you naked and let you roll around with Yang Jing? Did I make you pregnant before marriage?"
Lan Hui was extremely ashamed and angry.
"In order to show your gentleness and virtue, you had me dressed up like that and paraded through the streets, calling me cousin affectionately. But how did you really think of me? You stole my marriage and got pregnant with someone else. This was your choice, and you have to bear the consequences in the future! You must know how I fell into the water at the poetry gathering that day, right?"
Hearing this, disbelief flashed in Lan Hui's eyes. How could she know that?
"I didn't care about this marriage, and I want to thank you for helping me."
The fear in her eyes was clear to Mu Qingyan. She lost her virginity before marriage, and married into a family like Xiangning Marquis's Mansion that was so strict about rules and etiquette. She would not have a good life. It was fine if the marriage was called off. She had nothing to do here. She turned around and left without looking back.
Lan Hui was still in shock from the revelation when a sharp slap rang in her ear, followed by her aunt Lan's angry voice, "When you did this, did you ever think of your aunt? Did you ever think of your two cousins? I have always kept you by my side, and treated you the same as my own child. This is how you repay me!"
The cousins she was referring to were her two daughters, not Mu Qingyan.
Lan Hui didn't care about the pain on her face. She knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, "Aunt, Hui'er didn't mean it... He drank that night... I, was confused... I gave it to him... Originally, no one knew about this except me and the Second Young Master... Aunt, I..."
There were sparks in Lan's eyes.
She hated Mu Qingyan who had exposed the matter, but what frightened her even more was that even she, her aunt, didn't know about such a secret matter, so how did Mu Qingyan know about it!
Could it be that there is a traitor around Hui Er...
"Does the maidservant beside you know?"
Lan Hui shook her head violently. "How dare I tell anyone about something like this? Apart from the Second Young Master, I really haven't told anyone..."
Lan sighed, her eyes full of fatigue, "Now that things have come to this, you have to bear the consequences yourself! Pack up your things and go home immediately, and wait for your wedding. If your stepmother hears about this, you'll be hanged!"
Lan Hui was very nervous when she saw her aunt was so determined to let her go home. She knew that she had gone too far, but at that time, she really didn't think too much...
She tugged at Lan's skirt carefully, "Aunt, can you let me stay for a while longer, set a date, and go back before getting married...Aunt, please, my mother is gone, and my stepmother is cruel and ruthless. If she gets hold of something against me, I really won't have time to live..."
The person in the main hall just now, Nanny Zhang is my aunt's confidant, she knows the seriousness. Liang can't afford to lose this person, and the nanny beside her will definitely not dare to spread it. For the sake of her children's reputation, my aunt will also help her cover it up. As long as Mu Qingyan's mouth is blocked, this matter will not be spread!
She is still the gentle, lovely, pure and innocent daughter of the Mingyuan Marquis's Mansion!
After all, they are the children that you watched grow up. How can I not feel sorry for them?
However, she is also a mother, and she cannot ignore the reputation of her own children for the sake of a niece!
"aunt……"
After Lan's anger subsided, the only thing left was the determination to keep the matter secret.
There was a fierce flash in her eyes, "I thought that bitch was stupid and useless, but I didn't expect that everything she did in the past was just an act! If she was smart, she wouldn't be used by us, so there's no need to keep her!"
Lan Hui heard this, and a hint of pride flashed in her lowered eyes. She knew that for the sake of her two cousins, her aunt would not ignore her. After all, they were of the same blood!
When Mu Qingyan returned to Taoyuan, Yulan had already gotten up and was directing the people in the yard to do their duties as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Mu Qingyan, she just bowed slightly, with a look of impatience on her face, "The young lady is back? I thought, no matter what I did wrong, I have been kneeling for so long, the young lady is kind and will not embarrass me again. There are many things to do in the yard, and it can't be left unattended, so I got up. The young lady will not blame me for acting on my own, right?"
Mu Qingyan sat down leisurely, tugged at her skirt as if unintentionally, and looked nonchalant. Yulan's heart was beating fast. If the older girl didn't get angry after this test, then she would still be that stupid and useless bumpkin.
If she gets angry, she can just kneel down and admit her mistake. Anyway, it's for no reason, and we can't punish her harshly, otherwise she will get a reputation of being cruel and mistreating her servants.
Although the Duke's Mansion was large, once the people from the Marquis' Mansion left, the news that she had been rejected spread like wildfire. This good marriage was taken by the cousin. Look, she had no other options and returned home in disgrace, didn't she?
But Mu Qingyan's light tone made the disdain on her face freeze.
"What if I blame you for acting on your own?"
Yulan was a flexible person, she knelt down immediately and said, "My lady is my master, I shall accept whatever punishment you want to give me."
"Well, then you should continue to kneel until I tell you to stand up, and then you can stand up."
Although Yulan was unwilling, she still nodded and said, "Yes..."
Then she wanted to stand up and kneel down in the corridor. Although it was spring, the sun at noon was very strong and she didn't get tanned.
But just as he remembered, he heard Mu Qingyan say, "Kneel here until I tell you to get up..."
Then she stood up, went up the steps, walked to the porch, and entered the house.
Yulan had no choice but to kneel down again, secretly complaining in her heart, "Damn it, there are pebbles under my knees! Although they are round, they are hard! In spring, clothes are thin, and I knelt for so long in the morning, my knees still hurt!"
Who can tell her that this stupid and foolish girl's personality changed drastically because the glue in her brain was washed away after she fell into the water?
