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

Chapter 62

Luo Shuiyao lowered her head, but the corners of her mouth curled up quietly. The current heroine was still too young and didn't have the sophisticated house fighting skills of the later generations, but it was enough to deal with the original owner.

It's no wonder the original owner, provoked by her, would become Lu Zhaozhao's enemy in everything. Even during this seemingly ordinary breakfast, she deliberately provoked the original owner in an attempt to tarnish her image in the eyes of the Marquis's wife and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

Faced with such a calculated scheme, how could the original owner not rise up in resistance? It seemed only natural that he would confront her head-on in every instance.

Unfortunately, the original owner had the ability to go against her, but did not have the ability to fight back.

Lu Zhaozhao meant so much to the Marquis that it wouldn't be easy to deal with her overnight. But it didn't matter. She could take her time. One day, the bond would wear thin. Then, they could slowly settle their scores.

She had not forgotten the frightening experience she had on horseback.

Every time Lu Zhaozhao targeted her, she actually had some benefits. Although she didn't pursue the matter, it didn't mean she would lose out. Sometimes, there was no need to dwell on some things. As long as the head of the family saw it, they would naturally care for her more.

Appropriate tolerance can often win you more care and protection.

As expected, after everyone was seated, the Marquis leaned forward slightly and personally served Luo Shuiyao a bowl of Eight Treasure Soup. Luo Shuiyao quickly stood up and stretched out both hands to take the bowl of soup, "Thank you, Auntie. I can do it myself."

The Marquis's wife looked at her with a smile in her eyes, "This eight-treasure soup tastes great. It's carefully brewed with a variety of tonics. Drink more and see how much thinner you've become."

As he spoke, he gently tapped Luo Shuiyao's arm. Luo Shuiyao nodded slightly, a grateful smile on her face, and held the soup bowl steadily with both hands, a warm current in her heart.

Lu Zhaozhao watched the Marquis's concern for Luo Shuiyao from the side. Although she felt unwilling, she did not dare to say anything.

In this way, this breakfast was completed safely.

Seeing that everyone had put down their bowls and chopsticks, the Marquis' wife slowly spoke again, "I've discussed with your uncle that March 18th is a good day. We'll hold a welcoming banquet at the mansion. When the time comes, the familiar guests can come over for a meal, and let them meet you. This will prevent you from being bumped into when you go out in the future."

Mrs. Hou's words were full of love and concern. Her eyes moved between Luo Shuiyao and Lu Zhaozhao, waiting for their response.

Luo Shuiyao nodded slightly and said softly, "It's all up to my aunt to arrange."

Although Lu Zhaozhao still felt dissatisfied, she did not dare to show it to the Marquis' wife. She could only force a smile and replied, "Yes, aunt."

The Marquis's wife nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Also, your eldest brother will be here too, and I'll introduce you to him then. He's a bit cold-tempered, but he's a very kind person, and he'll definitely treat you like his own sisters."

Luo Shuiyao's hand holding the soup froze at first, and she thought to herself, "Okay, my identity is going to be exposed." But she quickly returned to normal.

When she came to the Marquis' Mansion, she was prepared for her identity to be exposed. If they could get along peacefully, that would be even better. If not, the worst that could happen was that she would just avoid him.

However, according to the boss's personality, as long as she doesn't come forward, he probably won't pay any attention to her.

The Marquis's wife continued, "Today, a lady I know has invited me to a tea party. Would you like to go with me?"

She looked at Luo Shuiyao and the others with anticipation in her eyes.

At this time, Lu Zhaozhao's mood had long since calmed down. A gentle smile appeared on her face again, and she said, "Aunt, Yanyan and I have an appointment to go enjoy the flowers together."

The Marquis's wife turned her gaze to Luo Shuiyao. Luo Shuiyao also shook her head and said, "Aunt, my ankle is still a little uncomfortable. I want to rest at home."

The Marquis's wife felt a little regretful after hearing this. But she also understood and nodded with a smile, "Okay, then. Remember to rest well after dinner."

She turned to Lu Zhaozhao and said, "Remember to come back early."

After finishing the meal, Lu Zhaozhao, contrary to her usual behavior, did not play the role of a virtuous woman, but left first.

Luo Shuiyao didn't plan to stay any longer and was about to leave when she was stopped by the Marquis's wife. "Yaoyao, wait a moment."

Luo Shuiyao turned her head doubtfully and asked, "Aunt, do you have any instructions?"

Madam Hou hesitated for a while, but finally spoke out: "We saw Zhao Zhao push you away just now. Are you really okay?"

Luo Shuiyao shook her head gently, "I'm fine, I'm fine, aunt."

The Marquis's wife looked at her with a hint of guilt in her eyes: "I was unable to do you justice in this matter. I hope you won't blame me."

Luo Shuiyao laughed and said, "How could that be? Aunt, you and uncle have been so kind to me, how could I blame you?" Her eyes were clear and sincere, which alleviated the guilt in the Marquis's heart a little.

Looking at the honest and dutiful girl in front of her, the Marquis's wife felt a surge of pity. Children kept silent about certain things so as not to embarrass their elders, but how could they, as elders, ignore them?

If conflicts between children are not handled properly, they will definitely sow the seeds of resentment in their hearts over time.

Madam Hou has made up her mind. The only thing she can do now is to teach Zhao Zhao well and make her understand her mistakes. At the same time, she must compensate Yao Yao and give her more love and care to make up for the grievances she has suffered.

"Madam," came Nanny Sang's voice.

Luo Shuiyao turned her head and saw Nanny Sang walking towards them holding an exquisite box.

The Marquis's wife took a few steps forward and asked, "Have you got everything?"

Nanny Sang said, "Don't worry, Madam. I have everything you asked for."

The Marquis's wife took the box from her, turned around and handed it to Luo Shuiyao. Luo Shuiyao didn't understand why, but she also reached out to take the box.

Seeing her hugging the box, the Marquis's wife smiled gently. "These are the jewelry my aunt wore when she was young, along with some banknotes. Since you probably don't have any money on you, I'll keep them for you."

Luo Shuiyao quickly raised the box to the Marquis's wife and said anxiously, "No, aunt, you have helped me enough, how can I accept your things?"

Her eyes were full of uneasiness, and she felt that she did not deserve it.

The Marquis's wife waved her hand, her expression gentle but firm. "Alright, a gift from an elder cannot be declined. Please accept it. If you need anything in the future, ask your aunt for it."

After saying this, without waiting for Luo Shuiyao to reply, the Marquis turned and hurried away. Nanny Sang glanced at Luo Shuiyao and also turned to follow her master.

Luo Shuiyao stared in amazement at the Marquis's hastily departing figure. She had never imagined her aunt, always dignified and gentle, could possess such a decisive side. As she hugged the box, a warm feeling welled up in her heart. Some favors should be remembered. If there's an opportunity in the future, she'll definitely repay the Marquis's kindness.
