Chapter 21 She Remembered This Resentment
Chen Fang endured the pain of her mouth ulcer and said with a gloomy face, "Go back and copy the 'Book of Filial Piety' and the 'Precepts for Women' ten times. You are not allowed to leave your yard until you have finished copying them!"
"What? Mother, you want me to copy the 'Book of Filial Piety' and the 'Admonitions for Women'? And copy them ten times? I don't want to!"
Xie Jia shouted excitedly and was about to stand up, but Chen Fang held her shoulders and pushed her back.
"You have to accept it even if you don't want it!" Chen Fang's face turned pale. She immediately asked someone to call two maids over. "Send the young lady back and watch her copy! If she doesn't copy, don't give her any food!"
"mother--"
Xie Jia's face changed drastically. She wanted to act like a spoiled child and beg for mercy, but was interrupted by Chen Fang coldly: "If you still consider me your mother, then just copy the books obediently. Otherwise, when your father comes back, I will let him take care of you personally!"
Seeing her ugly face, Xie Jia was really scared.
She frantically hugged Chen Fang's legs, raised her little face and pleaded pitifully: "Mother, I know I was wrong, please forgive me, I really know I was wrong!"
In the past, Chen Fang would not have been able to bear such a plea and would have agreed out of pity.
But it's different now.
Xie Xiu, who had been missing for eleven years, suddenly showed up, and Xie Yun was sent by Emperor Taihe to personally confirm it.
Now, there are countless eyes outside staring at the Xie family, laughing at the joke of their whole family.
Xie Jia still looked ignorant of the immensity of the world and acted without any scruples.
If she doesn't harden her heart and teach Xie Jia the rules, and lets her continue to act lawless, who knows how much trouble this girl can cause her?
If Xie Jia's words today were to get out, Chen Fang would become a laughing stock in the entire capital, and Xie Jia would never be able to find a good marriage in the future!
Even her two sons, whom she had high hopes for, would have difficulty finding marriages in the future.
How could Chen Fang dare to continue to indulge Xie Jia?
No matter how much she loves her daughter, she can't let Xie Jia ruin her own and her two brothers' future!
Chen Fang sighed secretly in her heart and reached out to pull Xie Jia up.
Xie Jia thought she had given in, and was secretly delighted, but then she heard Chen Fang say, "Jia'er, you must remember that everything your mother did was for you.
You are my only biological daughter. If I don't love you, who else can I love? But you are grown up now. If you don't learn the rules, how will you get married in the future?
You hit Xie You today. When your father comes back, she will definitely find a way to complain to him. Think about your father's temper. If he knew what you did and what you said, how do you think he would punish you? "
Xie Jia felt particularly aggrieved: "But I didn't do it on purpose, and I already know I was wrong! It was clearly Xie You who took the whip on purpose, so why did Daddy punish me?"
Chen Fang was originally very distressed about her daughter, but when Xie Jia asked her this, she became angry.
So she angrily scolded: "Just because Xie You got whipped by you, and nothing happened to you! Listen to your mother's words and go back to copy the "Book of Filial Piety" and "Precepts for Women" carefully!
When your father comes back and sees the scriptures you copied, there will naturally be no reason to punish you. Do you want to go back and copy the books now, or do you want to wait for your father to come back and punish you to kneel in the ancestral hall and copy the books?"
Xie Jia pouted in frustration.
She didn't want to choose any of them, but she also knew that she had to choose now. So she could only choose and go back to copy books, thinking about how to deal with the two old women after returning!
As long as she could shut those two up and stop them from talking nonsense in front of her mother, she could ask the secretary to help her copy the books.
Thinking of this, Xie Jia finally stopped making a fuss, lowered her head and said obediently: "Mom, I know I was wrong. I will go back and copy the book now."
Chen Fang looked at her suspiciously. Although she didn't quite believe she was admitting her mistake so obediently, she nodded at her obedient appearance. "Go ahead, copy the book well, and stop messing around."
"Yes, my daughter will remember it."
Xie Jia nodded obediently, said goodbye to Chen Fang, then knelt down and bowed, and retreated obediently.
Two old women followed behind her, but Xie Jia didn't say anything and pretended not to see them.
Only after returning to her own courtyard and entering her room did she suddenly pull out a dagger and put it directly to her delicate neck: "Shishu, come and help me copy the book! And you two, just watch me! If anyone dares to go out and say something nonsense, I will die in front of you immediately!"
The servants in the room were so frightened that their faces changed drastically and they screamed in fear.
"Miss, no!"
"Miss, please put the knife down first! Be careful not to hurt yourself!"
Xie Jia ignored them and just stared at Shishu, urging him unhappily, "Go copy the book! Do you want me to die?"
The secretary turned pale with fear. How could she dare to delay any longer? She quickly said, "Miss, please don't be impulsive. I will go find the "Book of Filial Piety" and "Precepts for Women" and copy them for you!"
"Then go quickly!"
Xie Jia urged impatiently, and when she turned and ran out, he looked at the two women and said, "And you, stay still!
You should know that if I hurt my skin even a little bit, not only will my mother not forgive you, but my brothers will never let you go either!
So keep your mouths shut! Don't mess with me!"
The two old women were so angry that they almost vomited blood!
The second young lady has really been spoiled by the lady, she is so naughty!
But they dared not disobey!
Because they can't afford the gamble!
The Second Young Lady was right. If she were to get even a little hurt, the masters would definitely not forgive them!
The two looked at each other and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.
Soon, the two of them lowered their heads obediently, showing a submissive attitude: "Miss, don't worry, you are the master, how dare we disobey your words?"
"It's good that you know."
Xie Jia snorted coldly, and saw the secretary hurried over with books, writing brushes, paper and inkstone, and started copying books in front of her. She immediately smiled triumphantly, found the storybook that the secretary had bought earlier, and asked the maid to bring candied fruits and snacks. She leaned back in the chair, reading the storybook and eating snacks.
After watching for a while, she suddenly called a maid: "Baoqin, go out and find out what people outside are saying about the Xie Mansion. Once you have found out, come back and tell me."
Baoqin didn't dare to make her angry, so she quickly knelt down and bowed, then took the order and left.
As a result, he was gone for more than an hour. Xie Jia had almost finished reading the storybook in his hand before Baoqin hurried back.
Xie Jia raised his eyes to look at her and asked calmly, "Tell me, what are the rumors outside?"
Baoqin's face was not pretty, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. She seemed to want to say something but didn't dare to open her mouth.
As soon as Xie Jia saw it, he had a bad feeling.
Her face darkened in displeasure: "Just say what you're told to say. Why are you hesitating?"
Baoqin was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, and then she spoke cautiously: "Outside... outside people say all kinds of things, it's all nonsense, throwing dirty water on my wife's head.
They... they said that the eldest young master had been missing for many years and had never returned because he was injured that year and lost his memory.
They also said that the young master was injured that year because... because the lady couldn't tolerate the young master... and wanted him to die outside, so... that's why..."
"Nonsense!" Xie Jia was so angry that she grabbed the teacup beside her and slammed it to the ground. "No wonder mother got mouth ulcers from being so angry. It turns out it was caused by a villain!
When Big Brother comes back, I’ll ask him in person why he hasn’t come back all these years! Did he really lose his memory, or is he deliberately refusing to come back?
It’s all Xie Xiu’s fault!
If he hadn't suddenly appeared, how could these rumors spread in the capital, and how could his mother be so angry and take it out on her?
She remembered this grudge!
Wait until Xie Xiu comes to the capital and see how she deals with this cheap brother!
She doesn't have a good temper like her mother. If anyone dares to make her unhappy, she will make sure that person never gets unhappy for the rest of his life!
