"Eldest sister." Lu Tingchang bowed his hand to Xiahou Ying very respectfully.

"It turned out to be you, it scared me." Xiahou Ying was a little vigilant and distanced herself from Lu Tingchang.

"It's Chang'er who is too abrupt, please forgive the eldest sister." Lu Tingchang scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"You're waiting for me here, but what's the matter?" Xia Houying didn't bother to go around in circles and asked bluntly.

"I'm ......" Lu Tingchang hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly bowed deeply to Xiahou Ying and said, "I'm here to apologize to the eldest sister on behalf of my mother!" ”

Looking at Lu Tingchang, who had never bowed down, Xiahou Ying couldn't help laughing, "Chang'er, what are you doing?" Hurry up. Xiahou Ying raised her hand and helped Lu Tingchang and straightened him up.

After apologizing, Lu Tingchang couldn't help but feel a little cramped, not knowing what to say next.

"Madame asked you to come?" Xiahou Ying asked softly towards Lu Tingchang.

"No," Lu Tingchang shook his head, "I came by myself." ”

"If Madame knew that you came to apologize to me, I'm afraid there would be another big fuss!" Xiahou Ying sighed faintly.

"I used to be young, and although I knew that my mother was not as good as me and Qing'er, I didn't think much about it. I didn't know until just now that my mother had done so many wrong things to my eldest sister! Lu Tingchang said with some guilt.

When Lu Tingchang spoke, Xiahou Ying's face remained unchanged, quietly observing this "younger brother", wanting to see whether what his "younger brother" said at this time was true or false.

"Moreover, if it hadn't been for the eldest sister who had stopped her just now, my father would have really sent that Dongmei to the government, and my mother would probably have suffered at that time. Thank you for your magnanimity! Saying that, Lu Tingchang bowed to Xiahou Ying again.

"It doesn't have to be this way." Xiahou Ying said lightly towards Lu Tingchang.

Lu Tingchang looked up at Xiahou Ying, a touch of helplessness flashed in his eyes, "It seems that because of my mother, the eldest sister has really begun to alienate Chang'er." ”

Looking at Lu Tingchang's disappointed look, Xiahou Ying was not in a hurry to show anything. With Shen Huizhen and Lu Wanqing here, it is difficult for her not to alienate Lu Tingchang.

"It's not too early, you better go back and rest early." After speaking, Xiahou Ying bypassed Lu Tingchang and walked away.

Lu Tingchang looked at Xiahou Ying's departing back and sighed helplessly.

==============

When Xiahou Ying returned to the room, Xue'er and Mama Lan immediately greeted her.

"Miss, are you alright?" Mama Lan asked with a concerned expression.

Xiahou Ying shook her head lightly and smiled, "I'm fine, don't worry about it." ”

Seeing that Xiahou Ying was indeed fine, Mama Lan finally put her mind at ease. But Xue'er on the side kept pouting.

"What's wrong? Want to put an oil bottle on your mouth? Xia Houying couldn't help but quip.

"Miss, Xue'er doesn't understand, why did you let go of the Shen family so easily? That Dongmei is clearly sent by her to bully you! Cher said angrily.

"Everyone can see that Dongmei was sent by the Shen family, but even if I expose the Shen family in public this time, what can I do? Will her father divorce her because of this? Even if it does, what about after that? Who should the Lu family find to manage? Xiahou Ying asked Xue'er.

"This ......" Cher bit her lower lip and wrinkled her little face.

"It's not difficult to bring down the Shen family, the difficult thing is how to deal with the aftermath, I'm going to the academy soon, and I can only go home once a month in the future, if I can't get rid of the Shen family immediately, once I'm not there, it's you who will suffer!" Xiahou Ying looked at her two loyal servants and said seriously.

"Okay, Miss is right, don't say anything more." Mama Lan took the brocade box from the side and said to Xiahou Ying, "Miss, these are all from Dongmei, take a look." ”

The brocade box was opened, and there were a lot of gold and silver jewelry inside, but one of the things in it caught Xia Houying's attention.
