The servants in the mansion all stood aside, and no one dared to say a word.
After a while, a surge of anger rose in Fu Hengyue's heart.
"I don't believe today that no one can take you away."
She sat up straight and was about to reach out to grab Nanny Zhou, but Nanny Zhou took out a wooden board from her sleeve and hit her palms several times.
In a short while, her hands became swollen and ugly.
"you……"
"You bitch, I'm going to kill you!"
Looking at his swollen hands and feeling the heart-wrenching pain, Fu Hengyue shouted at the top of his lungs and was about to hit Nanny Zhou.
But Nanny Zhou retreated to the bedside with a serious look on her face.
"If the young lady continues to procrastinate, I'm afraid there won't be enough time later. By then, you won't be able to complete the daily routine that I've arranged for you, and the beating won't be as simple as a palm."
The wooden board in her hand seemed thin and did not have any killing power, but it actually required skill and was so painful that it made people grimace in pain.
Fu Hengyue looked at the red mark on her hand and cried loudly, "I want to tell my mother about this. I want her to make the decision for me."
Nanny Zhou raised her eyes and ordered the maid next to her, "Hurry up and wash your young lady."
The people in the courtyard didn't dare to resist Nanny Zhou, so they could only reach out and pull the man off the bed.
The toiletries were all neatly arranged. After Nanny Zhou checked them and confirmed they were correct, she stood aside and watched them help Fu Hengyue wash.
"etc."
Madam Zhou frowned, "How can you use such cold water to wash the master's face?"
She felt the water temperature and told someone to change the water.
Fu Hengyue was relatively young, but he was quite fond of cooling off. He always used cold water for washing and never used warm water.
“This is my own habit!”
"Then change it from today on!"
Nanny Zhou looked at her, then checked other things. After confirming that everything was correct, she stood aside.
Although Fu Hengyue felt aggrieved, when he saw the wooden board in her hand, he dared not say a word and could only sniff.
After finishing her hair and washing under the watchful eyes of Nanny Zhou, Fu Hengyue finally began to choose jewelry.
"etc."
When Nanny Zhou saw her start to choose accessories based on her preferences, she quickly spoke up to stop her.
"A girl is no longer a child. She can't just choose what she likes. Instead, she shouldn't let the people under her know what she likes to prevent others from taking advantage of her in the future."
She selected a few decent hairpins and rings from among them, and threw aside the things that Fu Hengyue liked with some disgust.
"The girl is almost reaching marriage age now, and the things she uses cannot be so childish. If you have time, you should buy some new clothes."
"These are all new items my mother bought for me some time ago, and I haven't been willing to use them yet!"
The old lady always bought things based on her preferences, which made her very happy.
"It is precisely because I like it that I have to avoid talking about it."
Madam Zhou looked at the clothes her staff had chosen for him and continued, "The shapes of these clothes are a bit petty, and they make people look a bit childish, especially this pink collar. How can a girl from a wealthy family wear something so unpresentable?"
Fu Hengyue wanted to refute, but was scared back by a look from Nanny Zhou.
It was just a process of washing and dressing up, but it took nearly two or three hours.
Fu Hengyue was so tortured that she couldn't even open her eyes.
Whenever she was tired and wanted to fall asleep, Nanny Zhou would press the wooden board in her hand against her waist, and the pain would wake her up instantly.
It was not until dawn that Nanny Zhou nodded with a hint of satisfaction.
"This is what a young lady from a big family should look like."
Fu Hengyue looked at the makeup on her face that didn't match her, the hairpins and rings that looked a bit old-fashioned, and the dark blue dress.
This is totally inappropriate for her current age.
"What are these things?"
She originally wanted to curse loudly, but she also wanted to end it quickly, so she softened her tone.
"Madame Zhou, now that it's over, you can let me go back to sleep."
She was dreaming in her heart, but she only heard Madam Zhou speak coldly, "Now that you are dressed up, it is almost time. Miss should go and pay your respects to the old lady."
Fu Hengyue was filled with anger.
"Didn't I tell you that my mother never asked me to visit her every morning and evening, so I didn't have to go?"
Nanny Zhou sneered.
"You didn't have to go before, but you can't go now! Third Miss, do you want to go by yourself, or let this old servant use this board to send you there?"
It was that board again. Fu Hengyue rolled his eyes, feeling unhappy but suppressing his emotions.
Just go!
She had made plans and arrived in front of the old lady in a moment. She cried so hard that Nanny Zhou had to go back home completely.
"I'll go."
Shen Yuerong was forced by Nanny Zhou to come before the old lady.
The old lady had never seen her daughter dressed like this, and her eyes were filled with amazement.
"Yue'er, mother has never seen you dressed like this before, but now that I see you, you really look pretty."
"Mother."
Fu Hengyue didn't care about all this. She knelt on the ground, tears in her exquisite eyes, and her slender hands rested on the old lady's knees.
"Mother, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please ask Madam Zhou for mercy on my behalf. I will never do such ridiculous things again. Please don't beat me again."
As she cried, the red marks on her hands that had not yet faded were revealed.
When the old lady saw it, her face was filled with worry. She reached out her hand and carefully touched the red mark, her eyes full of heartache.
"You get up first."
The old lady carefully helped her daughter up and looked at her wound carefully. It was truly shocking.
This is her own sweetheart, how could the old lady bear to beat or scold him?
"Madam Zhou, I asked you to regulate my daughter's behavior, not to hit her. If you hurt her, I would lose more than I gain."
There was no expression on Nanny Zhou's face.
"Madam, I have long said that teaching the rules will inevitably lead to some bumps and bruises. If you feel bad about it, you shouldn't have handed it over to me in the first place."
"But you can't just hit her, she's so delicate, what if she gets hurt?"
She frantically tried to calm her down, and then shouted to someone, "Go and call my wife for me."
…
The air was very good in the early morning. Chen Yuerong asked Jinhua to collect some dew to make tea. She sat alone in the yard, tidying up the messy branches in front of her.
I had just trimmed the plants a little when someone came looking for me.
"Madam, the old lady asks you to come over."
Shen Yuerong nodded, and instructed Meihua who was standing beside her.
"Tell her I just got up and will go see my mother after I change my clothes."
"yes."
Meihua went out to answer, and she calmly tidied up the flowers in front of her before putting down the scissors in her hand.
"Qinghua is busy, so you can help me put on some makeup today."
