Although Lu Huan said that, she was truly helpless when Ares ignored her. She wouldn't dare actually report Ares to the Female Protection Association.
For one, Lu Xiao hadn't helped solve her problem yet. Even if she had, the most Lu Huan could do was complain to Earl Lu Ge Wei. If she actually took it to the Female Protection Association, Lu Ge Wei would punish her and teach her the meaning of not airing one's dirty laundry in public.
Females like them were incredibly vain. Even if their family was in complete turmoil, they had to present a front of perfect harmony to the outside world.
If word about Ares got out and Earl Lu Ge Wei felt disgraced, the consequences for Lu Huan would be dire.
Her mother had no sense of familial affection to speak of. If she was displeased, she would punish them without a second thought.
They had known this since they were children.
