Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 259 Kneeling as punishment

Lu Peixiu curled her lips. She knew that she would be scolded by her aunt as soon as she came back, and she felt very depressed.

Fortunately, she had foresight and told Yun Yan that if she did not go to meet him, she should send someone to Lu's Mansion to rescue her and say that the Southwest Army wanted to see her.

Now I just hope Yun Yan can be more helpful and find someone to come to Lu Mansion as soon as possible.

Thinking this way, he did not object to Mrs. Lu's arrangement and followed her to Lu Peiyun's yard.

Lu Peiyun was the daughter of her uncle's third aunt, who was one year younger than her. The third aunt died when she was a child. She was obviously not favored in the mansion.

The yard where she lived was not big. Apart from a room where Lu Peiyun lived, there were two rooms for servants.

When Lu Peixiu comes, she can either live in a room with Lu Peiyun or ask the servants to vacate a room.

In fact, no matter what, Lu Peiyun was in a difficult situation. But she did not dare to disobey Madam Lu's order.

After looking around the yard, Lu Peixiu roughly understood the layout and knew that there was no extra room for her to live in. It was just that her aunt saw that her father was a concubine and didn't take her seriously, and looked down on her even more, so she casually arranged for an unfavored concubine to live here.

She didn't believe that there were no other empty rooms in such a big Lu Mansion. After all, there must be an empty guest room. She just didn't want people to say that she neglected herself. The Lu family had not split up, so she was definitely not a guest when she came back, so it was not appropriate to stay in the guest room.

Seeing that Lu Peiyun was in trouble, Lu Peixiu took the initiative to say, "Sister Peiyun, I am sorry to bother you these few days. You can arrange whatever you want. You can even sleep on the floor. The conditions were much more difficult when I was in the army."

Seeing that she didn't mind, Lu Peiyun breathed a sigh of relief, "If Sister Peixiu doesn't mind, you can live in my room with me."

Lu Peixiu said carelessly, "I don't care. Anything is fine as long as you don't mind."

Lu Peiyun waved her hands quickly, "I don't mind, I certainly don't mind."

Since she was little, the sisters in the mansion didn't play with her much. It was rare that Lu Peixiu didn't reject her, so she naturally didn't mind. Seeing that she was so easy to talk to, she even wanted to get closer to her.

Lu Peixiu began to pack her bag. This time she was on a march to fight, so she didn't have much luggage, just two sets of clothes and some valuables.

After they killed the King of Jin, they raided the King of Jin's mansion and the mansions of his subordinates. They dared not touch the King of Jin's things, but the generals and soldiers who led the charge could still choose some gold, silver and jewelry as rewards from the mansions of the King of Jin's subordinates.

She was given a box of things, most of which she left with Yun Yan. When she returned home, she picked out some inconspicuous things and brought them back as gifts for her family.

She had given all the gifts to her elders when she visited them before. As for her peers and juniors, she would give gifts if she saw them, but forget it if she didn't.

Now that I'm living with Lu Peiyun, I'm sorry to bother her, so naturally I have to give her something decent.

She opened the bag containing her belongings and picked and chose for a while. Finally, she selected a large gold bracelet, a pair of gold-inlaid pearl earrings, and a gold hairpin.

"Sister Peiyun, these are for you."

When Lu Peiyun saw the things in her bag, her eyes widened.

This is the first time I have seen so many gold and silver jewelry since I was a child.

When she saw the things that Lu Peixiu gave her, she was so excited that she was at a loss. She wanted them, but they were not cheap, so she was embarrassed to ask for them.

She looked at the pearl earrings and the golden hairpin hesitantly, and finally swallowed her saliva and took only the big gold bracelet.

"This is all I need, thank you Sister Peixiu."

Seeing her like this, Lu Peixiu stuffed the earrings and hairpin into her hands.

"Take them all. I don't lack these things."

Then he asked, "How many servants do you have in your yard?"

Lu Peiyun tightly grasped the bracelet and earrings, her face flushed with excitement. She didn't think much about what she asked the servant to do, and answered truthfully.

"There are only four people, a personal maid and a nurse, and a maid and a maid who do the cleaning."

Lu Peixiu nodded, picked up two silver bracelets and two silver pendants, and gave them to the maid beside her, asking her to share them among the people.

The four maids and servants hurriedly kowtowed and thanked them for the reward.

Here, Lu Peixiu had just packed her things and was ready to invite Lu Peiyun to go shopping on the street. She planned to buy two sets of clothes.

What I am wearing and carrying are all tight clothes. It is obviously not appropriate to wear this at home.

The two sisters were chatting and laughing when they were stopped by the nanny serving Madam Lu before they even walked out the door.

"Miss Second and Miss Fourth, the Madam invites you over."

"Is there anything wrong?" Lu Peixiu asked with a frown.

"I don't know." The nanny replied expressionlessly.

Helplessly, the two sisters could only go to the eldest lady's yard.

Madam Lu asked, "I heard you guys are going out?"

"Well, I didn't bring any clothes back, so I plan to buy two sets." Lu Peixiu replied.

Madam Lu frowned when she heard this. "I remember I just told you not to go out for the time being. What? Are you turning a deaf ear to my words?"

Lu Peixiu replied, "Aunt, look at the clothes I'm wearing and the clothes I brought back for replacement. They're all tight clothes. It's not appropriate to wear them like this every day at home. I'll just go buy two sets of clothes instead of going anywhere else. I'll come back as soon as I buy them."

"How dare you! You are taking the blame for your elders' words? It seems that you are really neglectful of discipline. You are so unruly."

Then he called the nanny.

"I have found a nanny for you. From now on, you will start to learn the rules."

Then Madam Lu winked at the governess, who nodded in understanding and walked to Lu Peixiu.

"Second Miss, you are disobedient and defiant to your elders. You deserve to be punished. Kneel in the yard for two hours first."

Lv Peixiu was stunned and looked at Madam Lu. "Aunt, I just told you why I was going out. How did that count as talking back to my elders?"

Madam Lu only glanced at her calmly and said, "You are unrepentant. Add one more hour."

"no……"

Lu Peixiu wanted to say something, but Lu Peiyun quickly and quietly pulled the corner of her clothes and shook her head gently at her, signaling her to stop talking, and the more she talked, the heavier the punishment would be.

Lu Peixiu was not stupid, so she naturally understood what she meant. But she refused to accept it.

She was originally a stubborn person, and she was fearless when she was in Guangxin. Although her temper became more restrained after she met Yunxi, it didn't mean that she had completely changed.

She had been patient since she entered the Lu residence. But now he was making her kneel in the yard as punishment, and she knelt for three hours.

Even in March, Kyoto is different from the south. The weather is still very cold at this time.

If you were forced to kneel in the yard for three hours, not only would your knees be able to bear the cold, but you would also be extremely frozen.

She doesn't want to suffer this.

"Aunt, I'm not wrong. I won't be punished to kneel."

"boom--"

Madam Lu was so angry that she slapped the low table beside her and said, "This is outrageous. Someone, take him to the yard and make him kneel down."

Immediately, maids and old women came forward.

Lu Peixiu immediately got ready for battle, "Let's see who dares?"
