MTL - The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 28: Being fined for copying books

Everyone was startled by Su Changqing's sudden voice, and the girls knelt on the ground one after another.

“Master Hou is serious, Yun’er is just a girl, how can she cause any trouble?”

Sun Jiarou protected Su Leyun behind her, fearing that she would be frightened by Su Changqing's rage.

Su Leyun followed Sun Jiarou's wishes and hid behind her, watching Su Changqing vent with cold eyes. Her good father was like this in his previous life.

Anyone who hears the gossip in the outer room will vent his anger on his mother when he comes back.

　Today I think of it as another example.

"A daughter's family? A daughter's family should know more about propriety and etiquette! She is the legitimate daughter of the Su family, so she should abide by the rules of a noble daughter. Don't be ignorant of blessings and ruin the reputation of my prince's family!"

Su Changqing had a dark cloud on his face. Sun Jiarou could tell that he was upset and spoke softly.

　　"Is the Marquis unhappy in the Yamen? I'll ask someone to warm a pot of good wine and give you some relief."

Sun Jiarou took the cloak he took off and handed it to the girl, asking her to put it away properly without getting wrinkled.

Su Leyun looked at Su Changqing coldly. He didn't want to cherish his blessings because of the unhappy things in the yamen. It was obvious that the foreigner and his children were complaining to him, and they couldn't legitimately enjoy the protection and dignity of the Marquis Mansion.

“Look at her, she doesn’t even know she’s wrong! Why don’t you kneel down!”

Su Changqing rose slightly and raised his eyes to meet Su Leyun's indifferent eyes that seemed to see everything. Somehow, he felt guilty. After the guilty feeling, he felt angry again.

“Master Hou, you scared Yun’er.”

As soon as Sun Jiarou finished speaking, the old lady's slightly unhappy voice came from inside.

"What are you two arguing about? You are not afraid of the children laughing at you!"

The old lady slowly came out of the room, and Su Waner immediately greeted her, held her arm and sat down, pretending to be worried and begging for mercy.

“Grandma, my father wants to punish my sister. Please help me to beg for mercy.”

 “My sister is new here, so the lack of etiquette is not intentional.”

Su Waner’s voice was clear, and she held the old lady’s hand and acted coquettishly.

The old lady raised her eyes and looked at Su Leyun, and said kindly: "If you are not good at etiquette, learn it slowly. It is not worth it when you and your wife quarrel like this."

Su Changqing's face softened a little, and he glanced at Su Leyun angrily.

“Mother, this worthless thing has soiled Princess Anle’s clothes today!”

 “Princess Anle.”

The old lady murmured, her expression also dropped, and she reproached: "Why did we get into such a big trouble when we first went out! Princess Anle is so noble, but fortunately she didn't blame her."

 Princess Anle is His Majesty's only legitimate daughter. The other princesses in the palace are all still young. His Majesty's favorite is this one.

Behind her is the powerful King Jin. This brother-in-law has always treated his sister like an eyeball.

 The old lady looked at Sun Jiarou dissatisfied.

“I told her not to rush her out to socialize. It’s okay this time, but next time!”

Sun Jiarou was accused by her mother-in-law and husband. Normally she would have said nothing and admitted it, but now for the sake of her daughter, she can only argue with reason.

“My mother-in-law taught me that my daughter-in-law will teach Yun’er well in the future.”

"Um."

The old lady snorted, nodded and said nothing.

Su Changqing was not happy and said sternly: "Next time, do you want my entire Su family to be buried with her?"

 “Your Majesty, your words are serious.”

Just when Sun Jiarou was about to persuade her again, Su Leyun came out from behind her with a calm expression and explained: "Dad, don't worry."

Su Leyun looked at Su Wan'er coldly. She insisted that she couldn't tell the truth, so she used this underhanded method.

"Don't worry? How can you be qualified to be the legitimate daughter of my Su family with your qualifications?"

Su Changqing seemed to be angry with someone, and fiercely swung the tea cup on the table to the ground.

"Master Hou, how can you say such a thing! Yun'er is our biological daughter, she doesn't deserve anyone!"

Sun Jiarou no longer kept a low profile and protected Su Leyun behind her.

She didn't understand how her husband could say such hurtful words. Yun'er had suffered so many grievances since she was a child. She didn't grow up in the capital. She had a low self-esteem and acted cautiously. Didn't he hurt her daughter's heart by doing this?

Su Leyun looked at Su Changqing coldly, knowing clearly in his heart that she was naturally unworthy. In his heart, the only person who matched the status of the legitimate daughter of the Su family was the concubine.

"You don't have to say anything anymore. Today I will punish her to kneel in the ancestral hall and reflect on herself!"

Su Changqing turned his back and ordered coldly.

 “Master Hou!”

Sun Jiarou’s voice was slightly higher. She walked up to him and said disapprovingly: “Yun’er has just come back and is so weak. How can he kneel in the ancestral hall?”

The smell of incense in the ancestral hall was strong, and it was impossible to light a stove to keep warm in honor of the ancestors. It was dark and cold, and good people would fall ill on their knees, not to mention that Su Leyun was weak.

 “There’s nothing you can’t do about kneeling down! If you don’t kneel down, you won’t be able to remember!”

Su Changqing's face was solemn, and he raised his hand and asked several elderly nuns to push Su Leyun to the ancestral hall.

 “Stop! Today I am here, no one can touch my daughter!”

Sun Jiarou yelled at several nuns, rarely showing her majesty as a mistress.

"you!"

Su Changqing's face was filled with gloom, and he turned to look at Sun Jiarou, his eyebrows stern.

 “That’s enough! Ever since I came here, you two have been quarreling all the time!”

The old lady put the tea cup on the table, winked, and asked the nuns to go down. She said solemnly: "I make the decision today. Girl Yun will copy the etiquette a hundred times. If there is a chance, I will kneel in the ancestral hall next time!"

Sun Jiarou looked at Su Leyun's **** fingers and wanted to plead for mercy, but was interrupted by the old lady's voice.

 “Jiarou, you are the mistress of the house, you must know how to advance and retreat.”

 The old lady's voice was a bit warning, and she was obviously unhappy.

Sun Jiarou was stunned and said nothing more. She just looked at Su Leyun with red eyes.

 It’s because she is useless and can’t protect her daughter...

“The granddaughter received the punishment, which made her grandmother and father worried.”

Su Leyun was so blessed that his face was indifferent and showed no dissatisfaction at all.

 “Go down, learn better from now on, and don’t make your parents unhappy again.”

The old lady raised her hand to let Su Leyun go down, but she didn't notice the injury on her hand from the beginning to the end.

On the way back, Sun Jiarou hesitated to speak. Su Leyun saw the depression in her heart and smiled to comfort her.

 “Mother is worried about me. It’s my left hand that’s injured, so I won’t delay writing.”

“My poor daughter, it’s not that your father doesn’t like you, he’s just too strict.”

Sun Jiarou cheered up to comfort Su Leyun, but she couldn't even comfort herself with her words.

Su Leyun didn't want her to feel sad, so he deliberately pretended to smile and act coquettishly.

“I know, dad just hates that iron cannot be made into steel. My daughter will study hard in the future, which will make dad happy.”

Su Leyun's smile did not reach his eyes. He could not forget how arrogant Su Changqing was when he brought his wife and children into the house in her previous life.

My mother, who was about to lose the protection of the Sun family, was so angry that she vomited blood and fell ill to the ground.

She will definitely not let those villains succeed in this life. The days are still long. He just depends on how long the Su family can be proud.
