In fact, Ms. Liu didn't want to get involved in the war between the two. She originally wanted to leave after greeting Fang Yueru. Who would have thought that Fang Yueru had no intention of letting her go and instead left her to talk.

Mrs. Liu had always been timid and fearful, but her mistress didn't let her go, so Mrs. Liu naturally couldn't leave and could only sit and listen to Fang Yueru's words.

Mrs. Liu has been with Fang Yueru for so many years, so she naturally understands Fang Yueru's thoughts.

Fang Yueru just wanted her to stay and watch Yuan Ruomei's jokes, so that she could increase the prestige of the mistress and let her be a witness.

Yuan Ruomei also knew that she would not be able to escape safely today. Before she came, she told Aunt Wu that if she did not come back after Lin Yanming returned home, she would report to him.

After Yuan Ruomei entered the door, Fang Yueru ignored her and continued talking to Mrs. Liu.

Nothing happened to the person involved, but Ms. Liu was embarrassed.

She was just an unknown concubine, and she couldn't afford to offend either of them.

Needless to say, Fang Yueru, Mrs. Liu was as obedient as a cat in front of her and did not dare to disobey her.

Although Yuan Ruomei is also a concubine and entered the house later than her, it stands to reason that her status should be higher.

But Yuan Ruomei was Lin Yanming's favorite person, and she had given birth to two sons for him. Even the old lady looked at her differently, so Liu would not be unhappy for no reason.

Yuan Ruomei saw Liu's embarrassment and took the initiative to say hello.

"Sister, I want to say hello to my sister. I've met Sister Liu."

Fang Yueru then turned her head, pretending to have just seen Yuan Ruomei, and said in a strange tone: "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be sister Yuan. It's already this hour, and my sister came really early."

Yuan Ruomei couldn't tell that Fang Yueru was sarcastic about her, and said with a smile: "My sister is indeed late today, so let me apologize to my sister first. Before leaving, the sixth young master was a little uncomfortable, so I coaxed him for a while. This delayed the time to greet my sister. It happened for a reason, and I hope my sister can forgive me."

Although what Yuan Ruomei said was true, this was not the case in Fang Yueru's ears.

Fang Yueru was originally calm and just wanted to catch her mistakes and punish her.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yueru became a little angry after hearing what Yuan Ruomei said. Yuan Ruomei reminded herself that she had just given birth to the sixth young master.

Although Fang Yueru no longer cares about Lin Yanming, she still cares about the position of the mistress.

When Yuan Ruomei said this, she was obviously showing off that she was still young and still had the chance to have children. Wasn't this causing trouble for Fang Yueru?

Fang Yueru snorted coldly, "My sister did have merit in giving birth to the Sixth Young Master, but she can't be arrogant because of it. If you are wrong, you are wrong. This does not become the reason for you to make a mistake."

Yuan Ruomei also guessed that Fang Yueru would not let her go easily, and answered proactively: "Sister is right. She made a mistake and is willing to be punished."

Anyway, she would inevitably be punished today, so it was better to be more direct and avoid having to listen to Fang Yueru's nonsense.

Fang Yueru did not expect that Yuan Ruomei would take the initiative to accept the punishment and smiled proudly.

"Okay, since my sister admits her mistake so sincerely, let's give her a light punishment today to show my appreciation."

Yuan Ruomei looked at Fang Yueru's proud face and didn't believe what she said at all, but she still respectfully replied: "Then I'll thank you first."

Fang Yueru had been feeling aggrieved for so long, and finally caught this opportunity, so naturally she would not let her go easily.

But what Yuan Ruomei made was not a big mistake after all, and the punishment could not be too severe, otherwise it would be her fault.

Fang Yueru looked at Mrs. Liu with a smile, "Aunt Liu, you have been in the mansion for so many years, and you know the rules of the Marquis Mansion very well. Can you tell me, how should Aunt Yuan be punished for the mistake she made today?"

Mrs. Liu was very frightened when she heard this. She was just a person who was forced to watch the excitement, so why did she have anything to do with her?

Mrs. Liu looked at Fang Yueru and then at Yuan Ruomei. She didn't want to offend either of them. She was really in a dilemma.

Normally, being late to greet your mistress is not a big mistake.

If the mistress was kind, she would directly forgive her, but Fang Yueru was obviously not a kind mistress.

But according to the rules, it was just a punishment of kneeling for an hour, which was not serious.

However, based on Mrs. Liu's understanding of Fang Yueru, she obviously didn't want Yuan Ruomei to suffer just this punishment.

Mrs. Liu just wanted to be a little concubine without being noticed, and she didn't want to offend anyone, including Yuan Ruomei.

So Ms. Liu hesitated for a long time and only said two words, "Kneel down as punishment."

Mrs. Liu told the truth and omitted the kneeling time as punishment. This was the only way she could think of at the moment that would not offend either of them.

Fang Yueru has been with Ms. Liu for so many years, and naturally knows that she is weak and fearful, and does not expect her to help him.

Fang Yueru knew very well that saying the words "kneel down as punishment" was already her limit.

Fang Yueru used to dislike Mrs. Liu because she cared too much about Lin Yanming, but now everything has changed. Fang Yueru has no feelings for Lin Yanming anymore, so there is no need to embarrass Ms. Liu anymore.

Besides, Mrs. Liu has been respectful to her for so many years, has always lived a dutiful life with her daughter, and has never been against her, which is really rare.

Now with Yuan Ruomei as a comparison, Fang Yueru realized how worry-free Mrs. Liu was as a concubine, and her attitude toward her and Lin Qinghan improved unconsciously.

Fang Yueru understood that Liu only said these two words to leave room for her, and she had to make good use of it.

Fang Yueru nodded and said: "Aunt Liu is right. Being late to greet your mistress is disrespectful to the mistress. According to the rules, you will be punished by kneeling for a whole day. But for the sake of my sister's good attitude in admitting her mistakes, I will give you a discount. Half, just kneel for half a day as punishment. Kneel right here at the door, where I can see you."

Yuan Ruomei sneered in her heart when she heard this. Fang Yueru really thought she was a fool. She was just late for greetings. How could she be punished by kneeling for a whole day.

It was disgusting that the punishment was aggravated obviously just for herself, yet she acted like she was so compassionate and kind-hearted.

Although her body is still strong, she has just given birth, and it may be difficult for her body to withstand kneeling in the sun for half a day.

Fortunately, she had asked Aunt Wu to invite Lin Yanming before she came. The only thing Yuan Ruomei hopes now is that her body can support Lin Yanming.

Lin Yanming had to watch her fall with his own eyes, so that the feeling would be more shocking and make him feel more distressed.

Yuan Ruomei had already thought of a countermeasure and said respectfully, "Yes, sister," without saying anything more.

Yuan Ruomei straightened her back and knelt at the door. Fang Yueru even sent a little maid to watch her, not allowing her to be lazy for a moment.
