Chapter 710 This little girl is so unlovable
Before the ruler even struck Xie Ruoyi's palm, her crying grew even louder.
Jiang Huai stood in front of Xie Ruoyi and smiled coldly. He then said to her wet nurse and maid in a deep voice, "The little princess is not allowed to leave school or go home until she finishes reciting the Three Character Classic today. You will go back and pack her clothes and other daily necessities to take to the palace."
This little girl is so unlovable.
The wet nurse said, "Grand Tutor Jiang, no, the little princess is not used to sleeping in a particular bed. She can't not go home. Let her go home and learn to sleep slowly! The little princess will definitely be able to sleep in it by tomorrow."
"His Majesty has entrusted me with the important task of educating students. I must be responsible for them. Have you all taken His Majesty's words as a joke?"
The wet nurse and maidservant quickly replied, "We wouldn't dare. The Princess Consort will surely blame us for not taking good care of the young princess if she finds out she's not coming home."
"If the Princess wants to blame someone, let her come to me," Jiang Huai said sternly. "You all go out and don't disturb the little princess's crying. She still has to recite her lessons after she's finished crying."
Xie Ruoyi paused for a moment after hearing this, but when she tentatively looked at Jiang Huai, she continued to cry without restraint.
Jiang Huai held the ruler in his hand but did not hit her. Instead, he addressed the students below the hall: "Recite them one by one. You cannot leave school until you have finished reciting them. Let's start with Princess Yan!"
Xie Ziyan could recite the Three Character Classic long ago, so even though Xie Ruoyi's crying was deafening, she remained unaffected. However, upon hearing such loud noise, she unconsciously frowned and clenched her fingers.
Jiang Huai suddenly gave her a deep look, as if asking her to mind her own business. If she could memorize it, she could; if not, she should step aside. He meant that she should leave him alone.
Xie Ziyan pouted her pink lips, completely relaxed, and recited the book word for word in front of everyone. She completely focused her mind and was not affected by the outside world when reciting her book.
Jiang Huai nodded in satisfaction. Yan'er was exactly the same as Ruan Ruan when she was a child; both of them had the ability to remember everything they saw.
Xie Ruoyi not only refused to learn, but also used crying to force Jiang Huai to comply. Jiang Huai had a good temper, but he was also stubborn. Since she liked to cry, he would wait until she had cried enough before slowly starting to memorize.
At the same time, Jiang Huai was also thinking that the parents of these children were either royalty or imperial relatives. The people who were going to deal with the Jiang family must be of high status. Perhaps the villains were their parents. Since the emperor had entrusted the children to him, he would make sure they studied hard and studied with all their might.
After Xie Ziyan finished reciting, it was Xie Hongyou's turn. He was quite serious, and the Three Character Classic was no challenge for him. However, Xie Ruoyi was crying on the side, which affected him a bit. Fortunately, he also recited it word for word.
Jiang Huai said, "Next, Xie Qi..."
The three children of the Third Prince are all older than those present. They were supposed to learn the Three Character Classic from a young age and could recite it, but now, influenced by Xie Ruoyi, none of them can recite it anymore.
Xie Qi is the eldest. When Jiang Huai was still teaching at the Imperial Academy, he was Xie Qi's tutor and was Xie Qi's teacher for a period of time. Xie Qi is also smart and eager to learn. However, Xie Ruoyi's crying is so loud that he can't even recite the Three Character Classic. He has begun to doubt himself. Yan'er and You'er, on the other hand, are not affected by her crying. How did they manage to do that?
Jiang Huai said, "Young Master Qi, go to the side and memorize it before you come back to memorize it. Next, Xie Yu."
Xie Yu recited two parts, but the rest was affected by Xie Ruoyi's crying.
Then Grand Tutor Jiang said again, "Princess Xie Wei..."
Xie Wei tried to recite it several times, but it was always intermittent, which really annoyed Xie Ruoyi. However, Xie Ruoyi seemed to have practiced crying since she was a child. Even though people ignored her, she continued to cry incessantly.
So, the little princess of the Third Prince's family also got angry, "Xie Ruoyi, if you want to cry, go outside and cry. Are you ever going to stop? You're affecting me, and I can't even recite my lessons anymore."
Xie Ruoyi started crying even louder. Xie Wei was dumbfounded. She was very shy in front of unfamiliar people, but everyone present was someone she knew, so she became bolder.
Xie Ruoyi was still crying when Xie Wei slapped her across the mouth. "Stop crying, you're disturbing me. I can't recite my lessons anymore."
Xie Ruoyi was a few years younger than Xie Wei. After being hit, she pointed at Xie Wei's nose and said, "You're older, I'm younger, you can't hit me. You hit me now, I'm going to tell my mother."
Xie Wei said, "Go tell him! You crybaby."
Xie Ziyan quickly stepped forward to smooth things over and pulled Xie Ruoyi aside, saying, "Sister Wei didn't hit you; she just covered your mouth to stop you from crying."
"She hit me." Xie Ruoyi persisted, pushing and pulling Xie Weiwei.
Xie Wei couldn't stop crying either, and started wailing. When Xie Qi and Xie Yu saw their younger sister being beaten, they didn't care that Xie Ruoyi was also their cousin and immediately stepped in to help.
In an instant, the entire school was thrown into chaos. Maids and servants from various households rushed in to break up the fight and help, making the scene a complete mess.
Jiang Huai stood to the side, watching the show with his hands behind his back.
News of the school's situation quickly reached the Golden Palace. Upon hearing it, Xie Shang frowned slightly and said in a deep voice to the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince, "You two will come with me!"
Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Fenghua didn't return to the palace but went straight back to the Jiang family home. She had just gotten up when Hongxiu came in with toiletries. "Your Majesty, guess who's here?"
Jiang Fenghua glared at her. "Who's here?"
Hongxiu said, "Early this morning, the Fourth Princess Consort came to apologize to Miss Xiao Chu with gifts. She brought many gifts, not only for Miss Xiao Chu, but also for Madam and Master, as well as the eldest young mistress, and even the eldest young master."
Jiang Fenghua came home late last night, so she woke up very late this morning. After hearing what Hongxiu said, she felt something was off.
She sneered, "I'm afraid Zhang Yurou is just using the pretense of apologizing to Xiao Chu to try and pull some other tricks!"
Although I haven't met Zhang Yurou many times, I've always felt that she's not easy to get along with, and she certainly wouldn't humble herself to apologize. But now she's taking the initiative to make peace, which is very strange. Also, the impression she gives me is that she thinks she should be someone high and mighty, except for the pitiful and weak appearance she shows in front of Xie Shang.
Hongxiu said, "Your Highness is right. The former Fourth Princess Consort was very arrogant, always looking down on this and that. I have never seen her flattering the Madam like this before, praising everyone in the Jiang family. I really don't know what's wrong with the Fourth Princess Consort."
"Tell me, among the princesses, which one was I closest to in the past?"
Hongxiu said, "The Third Princess Consort!"
Jiang Fenghua asked in confusion, "Isn't it the former Second Princess Consort Luo Ziqiong?"
“It wasn’t like that at first. The Third Princess was the most talkative and got along well with everyone, so Your Highness and the Third Princess had the best relationship.”
Jiang Fenghua suddenly thought of Yuan Wenqiang. That mouth was indeed very eloquent and powerful. In that case, she had the best relationship with the wealthy ladies of Shengjing City. The Shu family lost a daughter. Didn't anyone in the Shu family really care about how their daughter died?
It's inconvenient for her to come forward, but perhaps the Third Princess Consort could.
Jiang Fenghua decided to go to the Third Princess and ask her to inquire about the situation at the Shu family. She didn't quite trust the Third Princess either; such a shrewd and calculating person was even harder to understand than someone like the Fourth Princess.
