After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Wang Ma knew that saying this would offend the Third Young Master, and the Eldest Miss also told her to speak less and protect herself.

When you encounter some idiotic remarks, just ignore them and don't pay any attention to them.

She knew the young lady was doing it for her own good; after all, she was just a maid, someone who couldn't afford to offend anyone and could be easily crushed by anyone.

Just like how a small Zhang family could drive her to desperation back then.

But if she sees the young lady being misunderstood, she'll finish speaking before leaving, even if it means being kicked out!

"The young lady never bullies servants without reason, and she won't blame them even if they don't do their jobs well. If they're just greedy for small gains, the young lady won't care at all."

Wang Ma was agitated. "That was someone's kind intention, and the cook helped Sister Ye trample on that intention and deceived them for three years. Isn't that going too far?"

Lu Lingchen was stunned for a moment. He hadn't looked any further after seeing Lu Sijian's name at the beginning of the greeting card.

I never imagined there were so many inside stories involved.

"So what? It's just some local specialty. We can't finish it all, so we'll share it with everyone." Lu Lingchen said indifferently.

Wang Ma looked at him and said, "Third Young Master, if your assistant uses the gifts your fans gave you without permission, would you really consider it a problem?"

Lu Lingchen's face froze. His studio would definitely not keep such an assistant who acted on his own initiative.

The reason is that he is a celebrity, and if he is found to have trampled on the fans' feelings, his career will definitely collapse.

How can you compare these?

"How can they not be compared? Those local specialties were grown by Miss Jiang and her grandfather together. Compared to the affection your fans have for you, they are only more, not less."

Wang Ma paused, then changed the subject, "Miss Mu is repaying a debt of gratitude by digging a basket of bamboo shoots, and our young lady is moved to tears. How can her kindness be so important while other people's kindness is unimportant?"

With a loud "bang," Lu Lingchen slammed his hand on the table.

"Who taught you to say that?" Lu Lingchen's voice was icy cold. "Liang Yue is still lying in the hospital. How dare you drag her into this?"

Even Lu Lingjun spoke up: "Enough!"

Wang Ma was startled, but she still mustered up the courage to continue.

“I sympathize with Miss Mu’s injury. If I can’t say anything because of that, then I won’t say anything. I’ll just talk about Miss Jiang.”

"If we're talking about repaying kindness, hasn't Miss Jiang done enough? Is it because she works quietly, neither trying to curry favor with the Lu family nor engaging in hype, and thus goes unnoticed, that she has no influence?"

In fact, the young lady seemed worried from the very beginning when she learned about Mu Liangyue's act of repaying a debt of gratitude.

That day, she overheard the young lady talking to Mu Liangyue. The young lady told Mu Liangyue not to come anymore, not to be trapped in the past, and that she should have her own life...

Before she could finish speaking, Mu Liangyue retorted excitedly, saying that she would remember the kindness and repay it for the rest of her life.

Many people rushed in at that time. Although Mu Liangyue was scolded by Lou Shao, she saw that the Second and Third Young Masters were coaxing her in the corridor.

That night, the young lady fell asleep very late. Wang Ma stayed by her bedside and heard her sigh in the darkness.

She said to Wang Ma, "I may have done something bad, ruining someone's life."

Wang Ma was not well-educated and did not understand why the young lady sounded so confused and self-reproachful.

She instinctively wanted to help the young lady, which is why she was in a hurry to get Mu Liangyue to leave.

But it seems they made a mistake, causing so many problems.

She had been in a lot of contact with Sheng Yunchao these past few days, and couldn't help but ask him about this matter.

Sheng Yunchao said that she had not done anything wrong. Since she was repaying a debt of gratitude without expecting anything in return, why was she so determined to stay in the Lu family and stay by Lu Sijian's side?

Refusing to leave is a form of exploitation—exploiting emotional value, moral high ground, and peace of mind.

Wang Ma seemed to understand, yet also seemed to understand.

Now, with Jiang Ningning as a comparison, she became even more convinced that Mu Liangyue's way of repaying kindness in an almost self-destructive manner was wrong and pathological.

This not only trapped her, but also morally blackmailed Lu Sijian.

"The young lady never asks others for gratitude, but if it is genuine gratitude, she will never let them down."

"No one taught me to say this. This is my own idea. If Third Young Master is unhappy, then I will leave."

Lu Lingchen sneered: "You're threatening me? I'm not as good-tempered as my second brother."

He didn't believe that Wang Ma's actions weren't at Lu Sijian's behest.

Is it because his father is coming back that he's acting like a bully, taking advantage of his father's power?

"You can try, and see if I dare to fire you." Lu Lingchen raised his chin, his expression one of disgust.

Wang Ma almost laughed. "Of course I knew you dared, so I quit! There's 600,000 in this card, I don't want it anymore, I'll return it all to you!"

She tossed out a card, the salary card that the Lu family had given her when she first came to the Lu family.

During her years with the Lu family, she never took a single penny from them except for her salary, so she had no way of getting more money.

Fortunately, she lived alone and didn't spend much, so she managed to save some money.

A while ago, the young lady said she would help her invest, so she withdrew all the money but hadn't given it to her yet. Today was the perfect opportunity.

Lu Lingchen looked at her incredulously: "Are you crazy?"

He couldn't understand why he had to go to such lengths for Lu Sijian.

After thinking it over, Wang Ma realized that since she had already decided to quit her job, there were some things she needed to clarify.

"By the way, it was I who took it upon myself to drive Mu Liangyue away. Last year on her birthday, the Second Young Master took her shopping during the day, the Third Young Master took her out to play at night, and even the Eldest Young Master brought her a birthday cake when he returned from a business trip abroad late at night."

"I don't know what happened either. How come everyone came back at such a coincidence? After all, it was the young lady's first birthday after she woke up, and we didn't all get together to celebrate it."

After Wang Ma finished speaking, she turned and walked out.

She didn't even go upstairs to say goodbye to Lu Sijian. She packed her luggage and quickly pushed her suitcase away.

-

When Lu Sijian noticed that Wang Ma hadn't returned for a long time, she sensed something was wrong and quickly went over to her.

She was somewhat worried about Wang Ma, after all, Lu Lingke was no kind person, as could be seen from how he treated Zhang Yuze and Xia Youyou, showing how ruthless and heartless he was.

"Wang Ma!" When she arrived at the restaurant, she found it quiet.

Lu Lingchen sat there expressionless.

Lu Lingjun lowered his eyes and looked at the steak in front of him.

【what's the situation? 】

Lu Sijian glanced at the two brothers without showing any emotion, then turned to the butler and asked, "Have you seen Wang Ma?"

The butler dared not speak, but secretly glanced at Lu Lingjun.

Lu Sijian became increasingly suspicious. Too lazy to ask any further questions, she directly dialed Wang Ma's number.

"Hey, Miss, I have an urgent matter to attend to when I return to my hometown."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Have you bought a ticket?" Lu Sijian was taken aback.

“I bought it. You taught me, Miss, I can buy tickets myself.” Wang Ma paused, then said, “Miss, my elderly relative is sick, and I need to stay in my hometown to take care of him. I may not be able to return to Yuncheng for a while.”
