Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 453 Rectification
Deng Hongying refused to go out. Deng Baoying was so angry that she climbed onto her bed and hit her hard several times. Deng Hongying accepted it submissively and did not resist, but groaned twice.

Xiao Rui, who had been woken up by them, impatiently lifted the quilt, sat up and said angrily: "Deng Baoying, do you have any shame?"

Deng Baoying was surprised, "You are in the room?"

She instigated Deng Hongying to seduce Yun Hao and offer herself as his concubine, which was not a glorious thing, and she did not want anyone other than her sisters to know about it.

"It's so late at night and I'm not in my room. Could it be that I would sneak into the inner house like a wandering ghost like you to spy on the adults?" Xiao Rui said unhappily.

Deng Baoying's face turned pale instantly. She didn't expect that her actions were discovered by Xiao Rui.

She smiled awkwardly, trying to hide her embarrassment, but her flickering eyes betrayed her.

"Xiao Rui, you misunderstood, I... I just..." Deng Baoying hesitated, unable to find a suitable reason to explain her behavior.

"Okay, I'm too lazy to listen to your explanation. Do whatever you want and don't disturb my sleep." Xiao Rui interrupted her and said coldly.

Hearing her say this, Deng Baoying breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she didn't care about her business. "Sister, I know you don't want to, but this is our only chance."

Deng Baoying's voice softened. "Sister, as long as you can get the favor of Lord Yun, our lives will change a lot."

"Sister, you promised mother that you would take good care of me. Have you forgotten?" There was a hint of pleading and expectation in Deng Baoying's voice.

"I didn't forget." Deng Hongying answered softly under the quilt.

Her biological mother passed away when she was three years old, and she was raised by her stepmother, for whom she had a deep affection.

Xiao Rui, who had just laid down, sat up again, "Deng Baoying, it's so late, if you don't want to sleep, get out. If you disturb my sleep again, I will tell Madam."

Deng Baoying had no choice but to get off Deng Hongying, "Sister, please think about it carefully."

She went back to her bed and lay down.

The next day, Deng Hongying found an opportunity to apologize to Xiao Rui. "The family has suddenly undergone a huge change. Baoying couldn't accept it for a while, so she resorted to this desperate measure. I apologize to you on her behalf. Please don't hold it against her."

"You don't have to apologize to me. You should take care of yourself more. She wants to sell you for wealth and glory, but you are still taking care of her." Xiao Rui looked at her, feeling angry at her for not fighting back.

Deng Hongying lowered her head and said weakly: "I know it's wrong for her to do this, but she is my sister and I can't just ignore her."

Xiao Rui sighed. She knew Deng Hongying was kind and tolerant, but she also felt sorry for her. "Then be careful. Don't let her instigate you into doing something wrong."

Deng Hongying nodded, "I understand. I won't listen to her. I will persuade her."

"I hope she will listen to you." Xiao Rui said nothing more.

Zhao Wangshu was in the meeting room, ordering his servants with a stern face.

A maid who was cleaning the guest house actually sneaked into the inner house when the door was locked. What does this mean?
It means that the gate is not tight, that the inspectors are not in place, and that the servants in the mansion are not following the rules.

"The one who manages the work will be fined three months' wages, the one who keeps the keys will be fined one month's wages, and the one who guards the night will no longer be required to do his job. We will replace him with someone else who is responsible." Zhao Wangshu glanced coldly at the servants.

The steward and the key keeper all received their punishments, and the maids on night watch knelt down and begged for mercy, "Madam, please give me one more chance. I will never neglect my duty again."

Zhao Wangshu was unmoved. She knew the importance of rules. "Rules are rules. You are not allowed to beg for mercy. If everyone does this, what will happen to this mansion?"

"Young Madam, we really know we were wrong. Please give us a chance." Seeing that begging for mercy was futile, the old women who were on night watch began to kowtow rapidly, their voices filled with despair.

Not being able to work in the mansion and receiving less monthly salary are not important matters, but the real fear is that it will affect other people in the family.

Zhao Wangshu ignored them and said, "The Yunqing family, gather all the people today and take over."

"Got it, Madam." After dealing with the trivial matters in the mansion, Zhao Wangshu returned to Linglong Courtyard. When he entered the courtyard, he saw Xiao Yunyu destroying the flowers under the corridor again.

"Yuer." Zhao Wangshu stood not far from him and clapped his hands.

"Mom." Xiao Yunyu dropped the flower in his hand that he had crushed and stumbled towards Zhao Wangshu.

Zhao Wangshu caught him with one hand and held his dirty little hand with the other to prevent him from dirtying her clothes again.

"Yu'er, look at what you've done to the flowers?" Zhao Wangshu patted Xiao Yunyu's head gently, with a hint of reproach in his tone, "Didn't mother tell you that flowers are for appreciation and not for picking? Why didn't you listen?"

Little Yunyu looked at his mother with a stern face and pouted, "Mom."

"It's no use acting like a spoiled child. You can't eat the little fruit today, you disobedient child." Zhao Wangshu grabbed his wrist and took him into the house to wash his hands.

When Xiao Yunyu heard that there were no Xiao Guoguo to eat, he pouted and was about to cry. Zhao Wangshu added in time, "If you cry, there will be no Xiao Guoguo to eat tomorrow."

"Mom, I won't pick it. Be good." Little Yunyu looked up at his mother, tears flashing in his big eyes, but he tried hard not to cry.

Zhao Wangshu gently rubbed Xiao Yunyu's head and said softly, "Okay, mother knows that Yu'er is a good child, so I won't pick flowers in the future, okay?"

"Okay." Xiao Yunyu nodded with an innocent smile on his face.

Zhao Wangshu brought little Yunyu into the house. The maid brought warm water, helped the little guy wash the flower juice off his hands, and took out a clean towel to wipe him dry.

After washing his hands, Zhao Wangshu carried little Yunyu to the kang and said, "Come, son, let's learn to read."

She took the book she had written and opened it, "Big."

"Big." Xiao Yunyu said loudly.

Zhao Wangshu taught him five words and asked, "Do you remember them?"

Xiao Yunyu nodded, "Remember."

"Then let's look at it again." Zhao Wangshu pointed at the words on the notebook, "This one?"

"Big." Xiao Yunyu admitted.

"That's not right, take another look." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

Xiao Yunyu looked at the book seriously, "Oh my god."

"Yes, Yu'er, remember that the character 大 has only one horizontal line, and 天 has two horizontal lines." Zhao Wangshu explained patiently, and continued to point at the characters on the notebook, "What is this character?"

"People." Xiao Yunyu replied.

Zhao Wangshu smiled and nodded, "Yu'er is really smart."

He hugged his son and kissed his little face.

Xiao Yunyu snuggled into her arms, "Mom, be good, Guoguo."

"Since you are so well behaved, I will let you eat some small fruit today." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

Xiao Yunyu pursed his lips happily, "Guoguo, Guoguo."

Zhao Wangshu asked the maid to bring in the baked milk slices so that little Yunyu could grab them and eat them.
