The legitimate daughter is reborn and cannot escape after being provoked by the tyrant

Chapter 17 People must know etiquette, justice and integrity

This time, Mr. He didn't fuss anymore.

She shrank her head like a turtle, not daring to look up at Lu Jiuqing.

Mrs. Hou looked at Lu Jiuqing for a while, then lowered her head and continued to chant the Buddha's name. The long string of Buddhist beads on her wrist slipped through her fingertips one by one. It seemed that there were no living beings in her world, only Buddhas.

"What happened to the wonderful homecoming banquet?" Lu Gaofei said in a deep voice with an impatient tone, "It's a great day, but it's hard to find happiness."

When he said this, Lu Gaofei looked at He. He's head hung lower and lower, clutching the sleeves in his hands and not daring to say a word.

Lu Gaofei turned to look at Lu Menghua who was aside: "Is the Zhongyong Hou Mansion short of food and clothing for you? Do you insist on getting other people's food?"

Lu Menghua felt a little aggrieved and said with red eyes: "But I don't have Shu brocade..."

"So what about the Shu Brocade? It shouldn't be yours, so don't have any delusions."

"..."

Lu Menghua's face instantly darkened, and he glanced at Lu Jiuqing, almost unable to suppress the coldness in his eyes.

"Father, I know I was wrong." Lu Menghua finally lowered his head.

Lu Gaofei glanced at her, and without further entanglement, he raised his eyes to look at Tang Xiuyan who was standing aside.

After taking off the Shu brocade Tang Xiuyan and wearing gray robes, he looked a bit shabby.

Lu Gaofei couldn't help but frown.

"Xiu Yan," Lu Gaofei shouted slightly unhappily, "Do you know where you went wrong today?"

Tang Xiuyan almost broke his teeth.

Ever since he walked in today and saw the Ninth Prince Mo Xiao, he has not been happy for a moment. I originally thought I would have a good time, but before I said a word or did a thing, I was slapped with a hat on my head, made a mess all over, and even had my face stripped naked and still trampled on the ground.

Faced with Lu Gaofei's questioning, Tang Xiuyan gritted his teeth and lowered his head: "Today... I did something wrong."

"It's good that you know," Lu Gaofei said coldly, "You are also a scholar, and you should know etiquette, justice and shame."

Tang Xiuyan immediately raised his head: "Father, are these words too harsh?"

"Is it serious? If you knew the seriousness, you wouldn't be embarrassed in front of the Ninth Prince today."

Lu Gaofei was obviously dissatisfied with Tang Xiuyan, and scolded: "You are a married person, so you must know the right rules when dealing with others. You are a top scholar, do you need to be reminded of this?"

"You have received a reward from His Majesty, but you don't care about your wife's kindness to support you, and you object to your sister-in-law's courtesy. Do you think it's appropriate?"

Lu Gaofei's words not only slapped Tang Xiuyan in the face, but also made Lu Menghua next to him lose face.

Lu Menghua couldn't bear it anymore and cried: "Father!"

She didn't understand why her father, who was never harsh in responding to her requests, would say such hurtful words today.

Lu Gaofei looked back at her and frowned: "Since you know your shame, you shouldn't do it again next time."

Lu Menghua looked at his father in disbelief, and finally had no shame in staying any longer, so he ran out crying.

Tang Xiuyan's cheeks twitched, and before Lu Menghua ran out, he said, "Everything is my fault. I did something wrong without knowing what to do. It has nothing to do with the fifth girl."

Lu Menghua stopped and stood looking at Tang Xiuyan, crying even more.

Lu Gaofei looked around between the two of them, his brows furrowing even deeper.

Lu Jiuqing saw everything in front of his eyes and sneered in his heart: Are these two people afraid that others will not know that there is something fishy between them?
