Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

"What happened?" Lian Rongrong asked as she saw the two maids with tears in their eyes.

Qiuju was so busy crying that she couldn't even speak clearly, but Chuntao, with blood still on her lips, still insisted on replying to Lian Rongrong.

“When I went to find Qiuju, I encountered the eldest aunt and the young lady making things difficult for her. When I went to reason with them, I was beaten instead.”

Seeing the slap marks on Chun Tao and Qiu Ju's faces, Lian Rongrong knew that Lian Xiuyan and Wang Yue had really gone all out.

The thought of the two girls suffering because of her made Lian Rongrong unable to swallow her anger.

"You all get some rest. I will definitely get justice for what happened tonight."

Lian Rongrong started to walk out as she spoke. Seeing this, Chun Tao quickly blocked her way and said urgently:

"Is Miss going to see her eldest aunt and cousin?"

Shouldn't I have contacted them?

"But Miss knows better than anyone else that the whole family, whether it's the old lady or our master, is biased towards the aunt's family."

"Although the master dotes on the young lady, if you really have a conflict with them, I'm afraid you will also be scolded by the master."

"Qiuju and I are just servants. Servants are bound to be beaten and scolded. We are very grateful for the care Miss has shown us."

"We absolutely cannot let Miss be punished because of us."

Seeing this, Qiuju stopped crying and stepped forward to stand next to Chuntao, blocking Lian Rongrong's way.

“Servants? Who calls you servants? Since you are in my courtyard, whether you are servants or not is up to me to decide.”

Even if you are girls, there is absolutely no reason for you to be bullied for no reason.

I have already been very tolerant of Wang Yue today, but she is still pushing her luck.

If I don't teach her a lesson, she'll really think that my people are easy to manipulate!

"You two get out of my way. If you continue to block my way, it means you don't recognize me as your mistress."

Lian Rongrong's mind was made up; how could Chun Tao and Qiu Ju stop her?

The two carefully stepped aside, watching with great concern as Lian Rongrong's figure disappeared into the night.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the outside temperature seemed to be dropping rapidly.

Lian Rongrong tightened her cloak and quickened her pace slightly.

It was only a short distance from Rongbaoju to Wang Yue's former residence, but Lian Rongrong was extremely angry, so she walked even faster.

Before half a cup of tea had been brewed, Lian Rongrong had already arrived outside Wang Yue's boudoir.

The lights were still on inside, and women's laughter could be heard from within from time to time. Lian Rongrong recognized the voices as those of Lian Xiuyan and her daughter, Wang Yue.

"I think that girl was kicked out of the Qi family. Yue'er, you're right, there might be something fishy going on here."

"Who knows, that little bastard might not be Wang Sheng's child. Otherwise, even if the Qi family despises Lian Rong, they wouldn't abandon their grandson, would they?"

“That makes sense. Yang’er returned to the city yesterday. Perhaps we’ll hear from him when he gets back.”

If that's really the case, I'll make sure that girl loses face in front of your grandmother.

Our Lian family places great importance on family traditions, and your maternal grandmother is someone who cannot tolerate any wrongdoing.

If that girl really did something despicable, even with your uncle protecting her, your maternal grandmother would definitely kick her out of the Lian family.

No sooner had Lian Xiuyan finished speaking than the door was kicked open with a bang. The one who kicked the door was none other than Lian Rongrong, who was seething with anger.

"You, you, you, when did you get here?" Wang Yue felt a little guilty when she saw Lian Rongrong's angry face.

Seeing Wang Yue's cowardly expression, Lian Rongrong snorted and said:

"So you're that afraid of me? If you're afraid of me, then why did you make things difficult for my girl? And why did you talk about me behind my back?"

"Arranged? Whether it was arranged or not, only you know the truth!" Compared to Wang Yue, Lian Xiuyan, as an elder, was much calmer.

Lian Rongrong glanced at Lian Xiuyan impatiently, then turned her gaze to Wang Yue.

Lian Rongrong suddenly took two steps forward, bypassing Lian Xiuyan and grabbing Wang Yue's arm. Before Wang Yue could even shout, she was already off the ground.

By the time Wang Yue realized what was happening, she was already in the snow outside the house.

"Lian Rong, what are you doing? Have you gone mad? That's your cousin!"

Lian Xiuyan was furious when she saw that Lian Rongrong showed no respect to her aunt.

But Lian Rongrong simply said, "You should be glad you're an elder, otherwise she wouldn't be the only one out there right now!"

Before Lian Xiuyan could reply, Lian Rongrong had already walked out of the house and approached Wang Yue step by step.

"What are you going to do? I'm your cousin!"

"Cousin? Having a cousin like you is truly heartbreaking. Cousin, have I never told you that you can't touch my people!"

As soon as Lian Rongrong finished speaking, her right hand swiftly and decisively struck Wang Yue's left cheek.

“This slap was from Chun Tao.”

Lian Xiuyan never expected that Lian Rongrong would actually lay a hand on her precious daughter. Seeing Wang Yue being beaten, Lian Xiuyan went berserk.

Before Lian Xiuyan could reach the two of them, Wang Yue was also hit on the right cheek.

"This is Qiuju's!"

"Lian Rong, you little bitch, you really don't respect me, your aunt, at all. If you've got the guts, hit me too!"

Lian Xiuyan shouted as she lunged at Lian Rongrong, but before she could even touch Lian Rongrong's clothes, Lian Rongrong dodged her with a quick movement.

Because she rushed too fast, Lian Xiuyan couldn't stop in time and fell straight down in the snow.

"Mother!" Wang Yue shouted and rushed forward to help her up. When Lian Xiuyan got up, her body, face and even hair were covered in snow.

The mother and daughter sat on the ground in a completely unseemly manner, one with swollen cheeks and the other covered in snow, looking quite comical.

Seeing the comical state of Lian Xiuyan and her daughter, Lian Rongrong's anger subsided by half. She slowly leaned down, looking down at the two of them with a condescending air, and said slowly:

“You can slander me behind my back, I don’t care, but you can’t slander my son!”

You can't mistreat my girl! If you cross my line, today will be a lesson for you.

Oh, right, you can go to Grandma's to complain now.

My two girls happen to need to see a doctor to treat their injuries. My grandmother hates those who bully the weak; I wonder what she'll say about what happened today?

Furthermore, you might as well go and tell Grandmother what you were saying in the room just now, and see who really disgraced the Lian family!

After saying these words, Lian Rongrong strode away, leaving Lian Xiuyan and her daughter alone sitting in the snow, glaring fiercely at Lian Rongrong's receding figure.

When Lian Rongrong returned to Rongbaoju, Chuntao and Qiuju were rubbing their hands together and spinning on the ground.

Seeing the two of them looking anxious, Rongrong couldn't help but smile slightly. Since arriving here, she seemed to have found a warmth she hadn't felt in a long time.

Having been given a second chance at life, Lian Rongrong is more insightful than anyone else, and she will protect those who love her with her life.

As for those scoundrels who scheme and plot, I simply cannot tolerate them!
