After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Chapter 30

Luo Shuiyao browsed around alone for a while, but didn't find anything else she liked. Feeling a little bored, she found a small table not far from the counter and sat down.

Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. In ancient times, there were also rest areas similar to modern ones. The table was fully equipped with sunflower seeds, snacks, and tea.

After walking around for a while, she was really hungry, so she ate some snacks while looking at the bustling scene of people coming and going outside the window, feeling contented.

After a while, there was a loud noise coming from upstairs.

Hearing the sound, Luo Shuiyao turned around and saw Madam Hou and Yang Ruolan slowly walking down from the upstairs. Behind them were Lu Zhaozhao and Liu Yanyan.

Luo Shuiyao quickly wiped the corners of her mouth, stood up quickly, smoothed out the wrinkles on her body, and then walked towards them quickly.

Luo Shuiyao walked closer, bowed slightly and said, "Aunt." The marquis's wife smiled and nodded, with a bit of kindness in her eyes.

Yang Ruolan patted Luo Shuiyao's shoulder gently and said meaningfully, "Child, why don't you come up with your two sisters? Although women should be gentle, they can't be too gentle. Be careful that you will be bullied when you get married.

Luo Shuiyao understood the meaning of her words, which was nothing more than saying that she was timid and cowardly and would be looked down upon by others, but she didn't want to understand. She said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, aunt. I was born so timid and never dared to get along with others alone.

As she spoke, she glanced timidly at the Marquis's wife and said, "Aunt, I'm so scared when I hear what my cousin aunt said. Can I not get married in the future? It's a great blessing for me to be able to stay by your side and serve you.

As she spoke, her voice became even lower: "Otherwise, I really don't dare to think about it.

The Marquis's wife took a few steps forward, glanced at Yang Ruolan with a hint of annoyance, and said angrily, "Look at you, what nonsense are you talking about next to the child? Yaoyao won't be coming of age until next year, why are you in such a hurry? There's nothing wrong with a girl staying a few more years. Besides, she's timid, but she still has me and the Marquis to support her. If things don't work out, there's still Yuan Zheng and Ah Xing.

Yang Ruolan was slightly startled, her eyes passing over Luo Shuiyao's face, and then she smiled and said to the Marquis's wife, "Cousin, I said the wrong thing, don't be angry. I just thought she was timid and wanted to play a joke on her.

The Marquis's expression eased a little, and her tone became much gentler, "I know, but don't say such things to the child again.

Seeing this, Luo Shuiyao quietly walked a few steps to the side of the Marquis's wife, tightly grasped her sleeve, and stayed close to her, with her head lowered, like a weak and helpless little white flower, quietly waiting for the Marquis's wife to shelter her from the wind and rain.

Her delicate appearance made people feel pity for her. Madam Hou gently patted Luo Shuiyao's hand, her eyes full of love and care.

Lu Zhaozhao and Liu Yanyan stood aside, each with a different expression. A complex expression flashed across Lu Zhaozhao's eyes, as if he had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to begin. Liu Yanyan raised her chin slightly, a subtle hint of contempt in her eyes.

The Marquis's wife looked at the few people and said softly, "The jewelry pavilion is quite lively today. We have almost finished shopping. Why don't we find a place to rest for a while." Several people nodded in agreement.

They came to a nearby restaurant and chose a quiet private room to sit down.

The waiter enthusiastically served tea and snacks, then left.

Madam Hou picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly, "This stroll today has reminded me of my youth." Yang Ruolan smiled and agreed, "Yes, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, we are no longer young."

Luo Shuiyao listened to their conversation quietly, feeling an inexplicable emotion in her heart.

Lu Zhaozhao and Liu Yanyan seemed a little absent-minded. They occasionally exchanged glances with each other, but quickly looked away.

They sat in the private room for a while, and the waiter quickly brought out the signature dishes and fine wine. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food and chatted happily, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

After eating and drinking, everyone sat quietly for a while.

At this time, Yang Ruolan slowly stood up and said to the Marquis' wife, "Cousin, I have something important to do in the mansion this afternoon, so I will leave first. I hope you won't blame me."

The Marquis's wife also stood up and nodded slightly, saying, "Okay, then you can go first. We will be going back soon, and the Marquis will be off duty soon."

Yang Ruolan nodded slightly to Lu Zhaozhao and Luo Shuiyao, and said softly, "Come to my aunt's house to play when you have time in the future." Lu Zhaozhao raised his chin slightly, a faint smile on his face, and nodded gently in response, "Don't worry, aunt, we will definitely visit." Luo Shuiyao stood aside obediently and replied softly, "Thank you, aunt, we will definitely go."

Afterwards, Yang Ruolan turned around and left with Liu Yanyan.

Luo Shuiyao stood quietly by the window, watching them get on the carriage. Looking at their backs gradually going away, she couldn't help feeling a surge of emotion in her heart.

This is the person who disregards everything for his daughter! Thinking of her final ending, Luo Shuiyao sighed slightly, her thoughts drifting away like light feathers, wondering what her future would be like.

Out of the restaurant.

The Marquis's wife ordered the carriage to go back first. This place was not far from the Marquis's Mansion, so they could walk back slowly, which was a good opportunity to digest their food.

Several people walked leisurely and slowly on the bustling street. Luo Shuiyao opened her bright eyes and kept looking around, her face full of surprise at seeing new things.

Hongying, the maidservant beside Lu Zhaozhao, looked at Luo Shuiyao's naive appearance and couldn't help but curl her lips with disdain in her eyes. She sneered softly, "What a bumpkin.

Luo Shuiyao tilted her head slightly, glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, then turned her head back and continued to look at the surrounding scene, not taking her words to heart at all. She was originally a country bumpkin, she had never seen the world, so what was there to be afraid of what others said!

The Marquis's wife and Nanny Sang were walking in front. They were so focused on talking and admiring the street view that they didn't hear the noise behind them.

Lu Zhaozhao seemed to have heard Hongying's words, but also seemed not to have heard them. Her face remained as gentle as water, without any change in expression.

On the contrary, Du Juan, who was beside Luo Shuiyao, looked at her with an indignant expression. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes were burning with anger. She was about to step forward and argue with Hongying.

But Luo Shuiyao gently pulled her back. Luo Shuiyao shook her head slightly. She didn't want to cause a dispute over a small matter. It would not do her any good.

Although Du Juan was dissatisfied, she had to suppress her anger when she saw her young lady trying to stop her, and followed Luo Shuiyao silently.

Suddenly, there was a noise not far ahead of them.
