All the people in the Hou Mansion are evil, and they will be repaid tenfold after rebirth
Chapter 203 Kneeling in the Ancestral Hall
It turned out that a wealthy businessman was selecting fabrics in the store. He took a fancy to an exquisite Shu embroidery and wanted to buy it as a gift for a friend. However, the waiter told him that this Shu embroidery was sold out.
The rich businessman seemed a little disappointed. Seeing this, Yu immediately stepped forward and said, "Sir, I'm really sorry, this Shu embroidery is indeed sold out. However, we have other exquisite Shu embroidery. If you don't mind, I can choose one for you."
When the rich businessman heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes: "Then I'll trouble you, old lady."
"Sir, please follow me." Yu turned and walked towards the inner room, followed closely by the rich businessman.
Arriving in the inner room, Yu walked to the rows of Shu embroidery frames with ease, her fingers gently sliding over the exquisite embroidery, as if she was choosing her own children. She turned to the wealthy businessman and said, "These Shu embroidery are the proud works of our cloth shop, and each one has its own merits."
At this time, Jiang Jixin came in, wearing a green robe, standing respectfully behind Yu. He looked at the rich businessman, with a hint of politeness in his eyes, but also shrewdness.
"Madam, what do you think of this one?" Yu picked up a piece of Shu embroidery with a phoenix on it and showed it to the wealthy businessman.
The rich businessman looked at the Shu embroidery, and a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes: "This one is really good. The phoenix is embroidered vividly, and the color combination is just right."
Yu smiled slightly and said, "This Shu embroidery is the treasure of our cloth shop. It is named 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix'. It means good luck and is suitable as a gift to friends of status."
The rich businessman nodded and was about to speak when Jiang Jixin suddenly interrupted, "Sir, do you know the story behind this Shu embroidery?"
The wealthy businessman shook his head, and Yu and Jiang Jixin smiled at each other.
"The creator of this Shu embroidery is an old embroiderer in our cloth shop. She experienced a tragic love story when she was young. She embroidered the pain of separation from her lover and her longing for him on the wings of the phoenix, so this Shu embroidery is also called 'Embroidery of Parting'." Jiang Jixin said slowly.
A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the rich businessman. He did not expect that there would be such a touching story behind a piece of Shu embroidery. He looked at Yu and said with emotion: "Madam, your cloth shop not only has exquisite Shu embroidery, but also each piece has a story. It is really amazing."
Yu smiled and nodded: "Thank you for the compliment, our shop has always been adhering to the craftsmanship and strives to make every piece of Shu embroidery a work of art."
At this time, a waiter came in with a tray of tea, put it on the table, and said softly, "Madam, the tea is here."
Yu patted the rich businessman's hand gently, motioning him to sit down, then picked up the teapot and poured tea for the rich businessman and Jiang Jixin one by one. Her technique was skillful, and when the tea was poured, there was not a single splash.
"Jixin, since this guest has come from afar, please take him to see other special products of our cloth shop." Yu said to Jiang Jixin.
Jiang Jixin nodded and led the rich businessman out of the inner room. Yu looked at their backs with a hint of relief in her eyes.
……
Yu's chest was heaving with anger, and her eyes were filled with anger that was difficult to conceal. She stared at Lu Yundi closely and said in a trembling voice, "Lu Yundi, are you trying to piss me off to death?"
Lu Yundi bit her lip lightly, her face slightly pale. She slowly stood up, looked at Yu with a firm gaze, and said calmly: "Madam, I don't mean to offend you, but there are some things that I must insist on."
Yu snorted coldly and glared at Lu Yundi, her tone becoming sharper and sharper: "Insist? What qualifications do you have to insist in my Zhenxing Marquis Mansion? Who do you think you are? You are just a little girl from a merchant family, and you dare to be so arrogant in front of me!"
A trace of pain flashed across Lu Yundi's eyes, but soon, she straightened her back, raised her head slightly, and said firmly: "Old Madam, although I come from a merchant family, since I married into the Marquis' Mansion, I have served you and the Marquis wholeheartedly, and I dare not slack off in the slightest. What happened today was indeed out of helplessness, but I believe that my loyalty and devotion to the Marquis' Mansion are witnessed by heaven and earth."
A hint of complexity flashed across Yu's eyes, but she quickly suppressed her emotions and said coldly: "Loyalty? Feelings? Do you think these things can make up for your offense? Do you know that your behavior has brought shame to the entire Marquisate!"
Lu Yundi bit her lip slightly, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. She looked at Yu and said firmly: "Old Madam, I know that my behavior today disappoints you, but I really care about the future of the Marquis' Mansion. If you think I made a mistake, I am willing to accept any punishment."
Yu's expression eased a little, but she was still a little angry. She stared at Lu Yundi and said in a serious tone: "Since you know you are wrong, I will punish you by making you kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights as a punishment. As for the proposal you made, I will consider it."
Lu Yundi was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Yu would accept her proposal so easily. She lowered her head quickly and said respectfully: "Thank you, old lady, for your magnanimity. I am willing to accept the punishment."
Yu looked at Lu Yundi, a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, but soon she returned to her serious expression and said, "You can go down. Remember, you must be more careful in the Marquis' Mansion in the future, and don't let me down again."
Lu Yundi bowed slightly and then slowly withdrew. After she left the room, Yu's mood calmed down a little. She leaned back in her chair, sighed softly, and thought to herself: "This Lu Yundi is really not an ordinary woman."
As expected, Lu Yundi knelt in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights. She endured the cold and hunger, but her eyes remained firm.
On the third night, snowflakes were floating in the sky. Lu Yundi was kneeling in the ancestral hall with a thin layer of snow on his body.
Seeing this scene, Yu couldn't help but feel a little moved. She walked to Lu Yundi, patted her shoulder gently, and said in a gentle tone: "Okay, you can get up now."
Lu Yundi slowly raised her head and looked at Yu, a hint of gratitude flashed in her eyes. She smiled slightly, then slowly stood up.
"Di'er, why are you doing this?" Yu sighed, with a hint of helplessness in her voice.
Lu Yundi bit her lip lightly and replied, "Mother, I know I was wrong, and I am willing to accept any punishment."
Yu shook her head, gently pulled her to her side, and said, "You are a good child, but sometimes you are too persistent. Although there are many rules in our house, they are not immutable. Since you have realized your mistake, that is enough."
"Mother, I know you have always cared about me, but I... I don't want to let you down." Lu Yundi whispered.
Yu smiled slightly, patted her hands, and said, "Di'er, you have done very well. As the daughter-in-law of the Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion, you must not only have an unyielding will, but also be generous and tolerant. I know the pain in your heart, but you must remember that sometimes, taking a step back will open up a new world."
The two of them talked and slowly walked out of the ancestral hall.
