Unfortunately, Rong Ning, who was standing to the side, had no intention of giving up so easily.

She pulled Xie Xizhu up the steps, looked down at the kneeling crowd, and said earnestly, "Miss Xizhu, that's the truth. I know that there are bound to be some conflicts between brothers and sisters, but having conflicts is one thing, and whether or not one takes the seniority and hierarchy into consideration is another."

As the eldest granddaughter, you naturally command respect from your younger siblings.

But what do they look like?

I could hear the shouting and cursing outside your courtyard, let alone the servants inside.

Where does doing this put you?

Xi Zhu, it's understandable that you're kind-hearted and don't want your younger sister to be scolded by me, but as the eldest sister, it's wrong of you to let your younger sisters make mistakes and not correct them.

Of course... I know you're thinking of sisterly affection and don't want to speak too harshly or make things ugly, so that it won't be easy to see each other in the future.

But I consider you a friend and can't bear to see you suffer this injustice, so today, I will play the bad guy.

"I have no connection with them. Leave the matter of disciplining my sister to me..."

After she finished speaking, she didn't give Xie Xizhu a chance to speak. She looked at the young ladies kneeling on the ground and said coldly, "Everyone says that the Prime Minister's Mansion has very strict rules and a thick book of family rules, but there is no rule about seniority and hierarchy written in it?"

There was complete silence below... not a sound.

Rong Ning sneered, "Everyone is silent, it seems they really don't know."

Alright... Today I will have you familiarize yourselves with the Xie family rules from beginning to end.

Ah Ying... Go to the Prime Minister's wife and ask for a copy of the Xie family rules. If the Prime Minister's wife asks what you need to do, just tell her the truth.

"Take the young ladies of the Prime Minister's residence, for example. They haven't learned the rules very well. I'll ask for the family rules; I want to study them with the young ladies."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Ah Ying responded to the order and quickly went to carry out the task.

"You're not allowed to eat or sleep until Ah Ying gets the family rules and all the younger sisters have memorized them!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xizhu felt it was too absurd and quickly tried to dissuade him, "Your Highness... this..."

Rong Ning quickly grasped her hand, stared into her eyes, and said gently and sincerely, "Xi Zhu... I know that doing this may be excessive, but... I am doing this for the good of the Prime Minister's Mansion. After all, everyone knows that the Prime Minister's Mansion values ​​rules and discipline, and the daughters raised there are all as gentle and virtuous as you."

But your younger sisters don't seem like that at all. If we don't correct them, and they continue to act so presumptuously in front of outsiders, it will be a disgrace to the Prime Minister's mansion!

Upon hearing these high-sounding words, Xie Xizhu's lips moved, but she couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

No wonder people like to flatter others; the more they praise you, the easier it is for them to use rules to control you.

The people in the Prime Minister's residence were like that.
