"Your Highness, today is a happy day, and I do not want to cause any trouble. As long as Miss Ruan kowtows and apologizes to our Jiang family, I will forgive you."

Yu Shulan's words were considered magnanimous by everyone, and Miss Ruan should be grateful.

But for Ruan Hezhu, who has a modern soul and the concept of equality for all, kowtowing and apologizing is simply a humiliation to her.

She twisted her neck, refusing to obey.

Mrs. Ruan wanted to slap her twice on the spot, so she pulled Ruan Hezhu hard.

"Hurry up and apologize to Mrs. Jiang and Miss Jiang."

"I don't…"

Before Ruan Hezhu could say a word, she was pushed to the ground by her mother.

"Mrs. Jiang, Miss, she knows she's wrong."

"I know I'm wrong. I think Miss Ruan seems very reluctant?"

Yu Shulan snorted coldly. Everyone is equal? Then let her understand the difference between high and low.

"Why don't you apologize now? Do you want to kill our family?" Mrs. Ruan glared at Ruan Hezhu viciously, as if the person in front of her was not her daughter but an enemy.

Under pressure from her mother, Ruan Hezhu replied coldly, "I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, Madam and Miss."

"Well, considering you're young, I'll give you a chance. But Madam Ruan, although you're new to the capital, you should be taught the rules."

Yu Shulan patted the sleepy Jiang Qingwan and said casually.

"Yes, yes."

"Mrs. Jiang is generous and won't bother with you, but since you have slandered the Jiang family, I will still punish you severely. Drag Ruan Hezhu down and give him ten strokes of the cane."

The prince gave the order in a cold voice. He didn't want to bother with such a little girl, but when he saw the scratches on Jiang Qingluo's face, he really couldn't bear it.

Ten strokes of the cane, it's not too heavy, but not too light either. Considering the outrageous words that Ruan Hezhu just said, this punishment is justified.

Therefore, Mrs. Ruan did not dare to say much.

Before Ruan Hezhu could react to what was happening, he was dragged away and given ten beatings with the board.

Jiang Qingwan's full moon banquet also ended in this farce.

Overall, Jiang Qingwan was very satisfied.

When she entered the space at night, she found that the space had become larger and many of her elixirs appeared.

She picked and chose and found a bottle of foundation-building pills. She poured it out and swallowed the pills inside.

In just a moment, she felt a warmth in her abdomen, and she quickly sat down and meditated.

As the warmth flowed through her body, she felt a lot lighter.

She has already reached the initial stage of cultivation. Although she only has a little magic power, she has the basic ability to protect herself.

The next morning, Jiang Qingluo came to the North Courtyard.

She teased Jiang Qingwan for a while, and then spoke awkwardly.

"I want to hire a teacher to teach me music, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

"What?"

Yu Shulan thought she was hallucinating. She had hired countless teachers for Jiang Qingluo, but she refused to learn anything and even drove the teachers away.

Because of his guilt towards her and his unwillingness to force her, Jiang Qingluo was not only arrogant and domineering, but also illiterate and was not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy or painting.

Why do I suddenly have to learn all this today?

My sister, is she trying to please the prince by transforming herself into a dignified and virtuous lady? But how can Song Yu be a good match for her?

[Besides, even if the eldest sister studied day and night, she couldn't match the hundreds of modern poems that the heroine has.]

Yu Shulan was silent for a moment and then said, "Mother knows that you like painting, so she will hire a painting master for you. The rest is forgot."

"Okay, I'll go to class with Dingbei from now on."

Jiang Qingluo seemed to have made up her mind to work hard and stop being the uneducated woman that others said she was.

Looking at her departing back, Yu Shulan smiled with relief. She didn't care how successful her children would be, as long as they were safe and happy.

She was content that Jiang Qingluo didn't hate her now.

She looked down at her daughter in her arms, "Wanwan, thank you."

【What did my mother thank me for? 】

Jiang Qingwan didn't understand why, but since her mother was happy, she was happy too.

The Jiang family is living happily, but the heroine is having a miserable life.

First, the heroine was beaten with a stick by the prince and was lying in bed unable to move. At this time, the heroine's brother suddenly developed a high fever, and Mrs. Ruan also sprained her ankle while walking.

All this forced Mrs. Ruan to invite a master to her home to perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirits.

But this doesn’t matter, the master really found a clue.

"Is there a ghost haunting the Ruan family?"

"What?" Mrs. Ruan was horrified and said quickly, "Master, please drive that lonely soul out of the Ruan family and save us. I will even negotiate for money."

"Don't worry, madam. I will definitely catch that wild ghost."

The master was full of righteousness, holding the Sanqing Bell in his hand, and walked around the Ruan family.

Finally, he stopped in front of Ruan Hezhu's door and shouted, "The monster is in this room?"

"Master, could you be mistaken? This is my daughter's room." Mrs. Ruan asked in a trembling voice.

"That's right. Miss Ruan's temperament has suddenly changed recently. Has she been doing strange things?"

The master's words made Mrs. Ruan's eyebrows jump, thinking of her daughter who had been very strange in the past month.

She nodded in panic, "Master, is He'er possessed by a demon?"

"That's right, the wild ghost is inside Miss Ruan's body right now."

"Then...then Master, please save He'er and take that ghost away."

"Madam, don't worry. Now that this master is here, she can't escape."

The master ordered, "Madam, please have Miss Ruan tied up. She must not escape."

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Ruan now completely believed the master's words, and hurriedly found a few guards to tie up Ruan Hezhu, who was still on the bed, and tied her to the rack.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Ruan Hezhu didn't understand. The wound on her buttocks had not healed yet, and now being tied up like this was unbearable pain.

"Monster, the master is here, why don't you get out of He'er's body right now."

Mrs. Ruan's words made Ruan Hezhu's heart skip a beat, and she asked in a trembling voice.

"Mom, are you confused? I'm your daughter. What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I am now very sober. You are just a lonely ghost who has occupied He'er's body. Today, the master will take you in."

Ruan Hezhu's pupils trembled. She was indeed a wandering ghost, and she had occupied the body of the real Ruan Hezhu.

To put it nicely, it was time travel, but only she herself knew that when she first entered this body, Ruan Hezhu's soul had not completely dissipated, and it was she who squeezed that soul out.

"Madam, this is the Soul-Calming Whip. Give her twenty lashes first to drive her soul out."

The master took out a thin long whip and handed it to Mrs. Ruan.

Mrs. Ruan, who had some doubts at first, no longer hesitated after seeing the gleam in Ruan Hezhu's eyes.
