Chapter 317: Get off the horse

Lian Hai had seen the world and quickly understood what had happened, feeling uncomfortable.

As for Zhao Ru Jun, Lian Fang Zhou’s mocking smile was like a needle poking her back and her expression looked humiliated.

In her opinion, Lian Fang Zhou was openly ridiculing her Zhao family’s lack of strict rules and the lack of etiquette of their servants.

“No rules! Still not leaving?” Zhao Ru Jun’s expression sank as she stared at the old mama coldly.

The old mama was taken aback and hurriedly bowed her head, retreating out of the room.

Lian Fang Zhou glanced at the door lightly and saw another old mama was walking over with beautiful cushions and cloth. It was obvious that she was disgusted that the chair was dirty and wanted to cover it with a cushion, otherwise how could the noble Young Lady Zhao be willing to sit down?

Lian Fang Zhou inwardly sneered again and said with a polite smile: “This house is simple and the chairs and stools are all rustic, I don’t dare to ask Young Lady Zhao to sit down, asking Young Lady Zhao to forgive me. Young Lady Zhao, let’s just say the matter quickly! As a small country family, there will be no major issue we can’t resolve. This way we won’t delay Young Lady Zhao’s work!”

Zhao Ru Jun was extremely embarrassed and hurriedly smiled: “Miss Lian is too polite, where would I be so particular!”

In order to show that she really was indifferent, she took the initiative to sit down.

As soon as she made a connection with Lian Fang Zhou’s chair, neither hard nor soft, she felt aggrieved. Originally, she would really never bother to sit in a thing like this! However, Miss Lian’s suspicion was already too high.

Unexpectedly, she hadn’t even waited for her to speak before Lian Fang Zhou was fighting her.

Ah Jian glanced over and saw the old mama walking in from outside with a pile of soft things in her hands. A smile flashed across his eyes and he smiled at Lian Fang Zhou: “You greet the guest, Ah Ze and I will go out first.”

Lian Fang Zhou smiled and nodded but Zhao Ru Jun hurriedly broke in with a smile, saying: “Could Master Jian stay? I have something to speak with him about, really have to trouble Master Jian!”

Ah Jian glanced at Xi Que, who was standing behind Zhao Ru Jun, and thought about the matter she had spoken about yesterday. Unhappy, he exchanged a glance with Lian Fang Zhou before nodding politely: “Young Lady Zhao is too serious!”

Lian Ze told his sister that he would go out.

As for Third Aunt and Lian Fang Qing, they had gone to Xiaohuaguo mountain to pick bayberries and apricots and were not at home.

“Young Lady Zhao, please speak freely!” Lian Fang Zhou said as she and Ah Jian sat down, also inviting Lian Hai to take a seat.

At this moment, the old mama holding the cushions finally walked in.

She had not heard their conversation earlier, only seeing Zhao Ru Jun already sitting. She immediately yelled: “My lady! How could you sit in such a place! It’s so dirty! It’s only fit for slaves!” The scene was all wrong! This old slave had been two steps too slow and her lady was so tired that she had been wronged! “Miss, get up quickly, this old slave will fix it for you!”

Lian Fang Zhou did not speak, Ah Jian did not speak, even Lian Hai did not speak; the three of them all looked at Zhao Ru Jun with mixed expressions of interest or embarrassment.

Zhao Ru Jun’s face flushed with a sudden burst of heat.

In this life, she had never been so embarrassed!

However, the old mama could only remember the instructions from before they had entered the Lian family’s house. She didn’t notice how ugly her master’s expression was, her mouth kept talking and her feet kept moving. Coming a few steps closer, she was still begging Zhao Ru Jun to get up so she could put her cushion down and prevent her from getting her noble bottom dirty!

“Mama Li, it’s getting more and more unruly!” Xi Que finally said as her pretty face sank. She stared at the old mama and whispered: “Miss didn’t even open her mouth and you’re already talking nonsense! Is this a place for you to talk? I know that you are kind-hearted lady but you can’t ignore the rules! It’s because the Miss is so good-tempered, you’ve become accustomed to it! When did you learn to make your own way? Step back!”

Mama Li was stunned. She turned to look at Zhao Ru Jun blankly, as if asking for her to verify what Xi Que had said. Was it really okay if she didn’t follow the original script?!

“Retreat!” Zhao Ru Jun snapped.

Mama Li’s heart shook and she hurriedly lowered her head: “Yes! Yes!” She didn’t dare to ask for more details and quickly retreated.

“The servant doesn’t understand the rules, I have invited Miss Lian, Master Jian, and Master Lian to laugh!” Zhao Ru Jun laughed weakly.

Lian Fang Zhou didn’t intend to blame her. She smiled lightly, as if it was a trivial matter; nothing remarkable, not worth mentioning.

She continued the previous topic: “I wonder what business Young Lady Zhao has come for?”

When Zhao Ru Hun saw that she wasn’t going to take the opportunity to ridicule her, she suddenly felt that Lian Fang Zhou’s true meaning was: ‘It’s normal for servants to not understand the rules in a manor like the Zhao family Manor! Young Lady Zhao, why would I blame you!’

Her chest was immediately filled with anger again, her expression almost changing.

Gritting her teeth, Zhao Ru Jun was even more determined to get Ah Jian away.

Not to mention any other benefits, just to make Lian Fang Zhou unhappy was worth it!

“I have something I want to ask Miss Lian to give some face. I have mentioned this matter to Master Lian…” Zhao Ru Jun said, glancing at Lian Hai.

Lian Hai  smiled and said to Lian Fang Zhou: “That’s right! Young Lady Zhao wishes to invite a martial artist to educate the servants in the Zhao family. She heard that Ah Jian shot and killed many wolves during the Spring Festival and so wanted to ask Ah Jian to teach in the Zhao manor for a while! Now that you have enough manpower for your work and its not the busy period for farming, its not a bad thing for Ah Jian so just let him go over!”

Zhao Ru Jun hurriedly smiled and said: “Don’t worry, Miss Lian, I am sincerely asking Master Jian for help! After a while, he will be sent back after he has finished his instructions. Since Master Jian has saved me in the past, I won’t treat him badly! When he comes to the Zhao manor, I will treat him like a guest and assign two servants to serve him specially. As for the monthly pay, it’s negotiable. Even if Miss Lian lacks manpower here, its nothing! Just tell me how many people you require and I will have my steward send some people over to help.”

Lian Fang Zhou was so angry her face became very ugly.

Who knew why but as soon as Zhao Ru Jun said this, she was instantly furious! She had always been a calm person but at this moment she had the deep urge to throw Zhao Ru Jun out of the house!

Lian Fang Zhou’s anger could not be concealed, it was obvious to anyone who looked.

Seeing her react this way, Zhao Ru Jun was even more pleased. The aggrieved feeling in her chest was finally relieved.

“Will Miss Lian not give me face?” Zhao Ru Jun didn’t wait for Lian Fang Zhou’s answer, she just smiled slightly, looking weak and aggrieved: “I just want to ask Master Jian to come to my family and teach martial arts, it’s not like I won’t let him come back!”

TN: Oh my god, ZRJ is just such a green tea bitch! I want to smack her full in the face!
