Chapter 389: Who are you showing your pride to?



[Mantou?] Jiang Yueyang frowned in confusion.

Everyone frowned in confusion. They couldn't imagine how a steamed bun could cause a child's death.

Xiaogua said that he was forced to death, so it couldn't be homicide.

The system explained: [At that time, Lord Guan’s eldest daughter was only five years old, which was the age when she couldn’t control her mouth.

One day, a neighbor saw that Guan's daughter was so hungry that she was eating grass, so he gave her a steamed bun.

The host must also know that most literati are proud and would rather starve to death than eat charity.

When Mr. Guan found out that his daughter accepted the steamed buns given by the neighbors, he was very angry and his self-esteem was hurt. He scolded his daughter severely and did not give her anything to eat at night.

As a result, his daughter starved to death. 】

Jiang Yueyang was incredulous. [It's just a steamed bun, isn't his self-esteem too strong?]

After saying this, she couldn't help but look at her colleagues who were of literary background, and then said: [Lord Zuo Xiang, Kong Jijiu and Guo Yuanzheng are not the same, right? ]

Kong Jijiu snorted in his heart, please don't compare him, a vain person, with me. I am a proud person, but I can also bend and stretch.

It's just a bun, so just accept it. A person with real character will repay it double instead of scolding his starving daughter.

Besides, what's shameful about accepting someone's kindness?

Guo Yuanzheng tried his best to defend himself in his heart, saying that what he studied was the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, not the Four Books and Five Classics. He did not have much pride, but he was quite thick-skinned!

The system replied: [I don’t know if they are the same as Master Guan. If the host is curious, you can ask.]

[I won't ask, just go on and tell me how the other two people were forced to death.]
