Luo Yilian fed her younger brother and said softly, "Everything is fine. Seventh sister is here today. Miss Gu is a thorough teacher and a principled person. I really like her. It's just that Seventh sister was talking to Fifth sister today, which made Miss Gu a little unhappy, but of course it's no big deal. Seventh sister has a childish nature, so it's normal for her to be restless..."
When Luo Yining was mentioned, Luo Chengzhang frowned. This little girl was really too careless.
Luo Yilian said uneasily, "Father, please don't blame Seventh Sister. She is still young after all."
"Even if she is young, she is seven years old and should be sensible!" Luo Chengzhang felt that he could not tolerate it. "When you were seven years old, you were much more sensible than her. She simply didn't make any sense." Luo Chengzhang put down his chopsticks and felt that he could not eat.
When Yining woke up the next day, he felt even more dizzy and felt his forehead, realizing he had a fever.
Xuezhi was worried about her, so when they arrived at Tingfeng Pavilion, she immediately asked the maid to make hot tea for Yining. Yining took the cup and drank a lot of hot water. Xuezhi saw that she was in pain and was really worried. She leaned over and said softly, "Sister, why don't I stay in here and look after you?"
When entering school, maids and old women are not allowed to stay there.
Yining was also worried about his weak body, and asked Xuezhi to take care of him if he felt unwell. He nodded in agreement and asked Songzhi and others to leave.
Ms. Gu always stared at Xuezhi during class.
Xuezhi was a very important figure. In her early years as a servant to Luo Yihui, she had seen all sorts of ups and downs. She was also Luo Yihui's most favored maid, specially selected by her to stay by her sister's side. She ignored Ms. Gu's gaze, and her expression was even more nonchalant.
Finally, Miss Gu couldn't stand it any longer. She put down the book and said, "Miss Seven, could you please let your maid leave? We don't go to school to enjoy ourselves. We go to school to learn from the saints and gain wisdom. If everyone learns from you, how can we all imitate you?"
Yining raised her head and looked at Ms. Gu.
To be fair, she still admired her. After all, no one dared to offend this little ancestor, but Ms. Gu was upright and righteous. Others did not dare to offend her, but she could not stand Xiao Yining's style and wanted to make this little ancestor unhappy.
She forced herself to be energetic and answered politely, "Madam, I'm feeling a little unwell today, so I asked Xuezhi to look after me. Don't worry, Xuezhi is a well-behaved person and will definitely not disturb your class."
Miss Gu was not grateful and said firmly: "Rules are rules. Without rules, there is no order. If the fifth lady also wants to take the maid to class in the future--"
Luo Yixiu, lost in thought, was called again, and dazedly snapped back to her senses. Meanwhile, Yi Lian, always a bystander, remained silent, never speaking unless absolutely necessary. She simply watched them, clutching her brush tightly.
Ms. Gu continued, "I indulged them once, and next time they made the same excuse. Do I have to indulge them too?"
Xuezhi bowed and said, "Miss, you misunderstood. My sister is indeed feeling unwell. The old lady originally did not want her to come, but she insisted on coming to school. I promise that this will only be this time, and I will only serve some hot tea to Miss Seven. If she feels unwell, I will take care of her."
Seeing that the two still wouldn't listen after all she had said, Ms. Gu's tone became a little harsh: "Seventh Miss is not feeling well and can't come to school. I just consider my status unworthy of teaching her. Why do you have to find so many excuses to tell me?"
Ms. Gu was a stickler for rules and a stubborn person. Luo Chengzhang had chosen her for this reason. Otherwise, how could any ordinary female teacher control little Yining's temper?
But now Yining is a little angry.
"Xuezhi, there's no need to say anything." Yi Ning said calmly, "The lady is right, you can go down."
Xuezhi glanced at Yining, only to see the young lady looking at her calmly. Suddenly, she seemed to have some of the qualities of a young lady. Feeling somewhat relieved, she nodded and retreated.
"Madam, please continue your lecture. No one will disturb you now." Yining made a gesture of invitation.
Ms. Gu had seen this little bully act arrogantly and bully a concubine, but she had never seen her so calm and composed, her eyes so cold. This resolute look was surprisingly intimidating—but Ms. Gu immediately thought it was absurd. How could a seven-year-old child be so intimidating? She looked at Yi Ning again, her face as soft as a ball, clearly that of a child.
"Miss Seven, if you feel that what I said is unreasonable and you are dissatisfied, I have nothing to say." Ms. Gu still had a sense of tit-for-tat and lectured with authority, "It is against the rules to lead a girl to class. Miss Seven, please stay and copy the "Discipline for Children" five times. You will not be allowed to eat until you finish copying it."
"I will follow the teacher's instructions." Yining agreed calmly.
Luo Yixiu dozed off with her chin in her hand. Luo Yilian said softly, "Seventh sister, even if you feel a little unwell, you shouldn't break the rules."
Yi Ning looked at Luo Yilian coldly, and saw that her sister, who was as delicate as a flower, gave her a weak smile.
"Sixth sister is right." Yi Ning said calmly.
When school was over, the female teacher walked up to Yi Ning and said, "I won't supervise Miss Seven. If Miss Seven asks a maid to copy for her, I won't say anything. But it depends on whether Miss Seven keeps her promise."
Yining remained silent and rolled up his sleeves to grind ink.
Ms. Gu left with the maid. Luo Yixiu came over and tugged at her clothes: "Yining, you really copied. Let's go eat. I'll let my little girl help you copy."
Yining shook her head, and she was actually a bit stubborn.
Ms. Gu wasn't the only one in the mansion who disliked her. They were all feigning amiability for the sake of her grandmother and elder sister; Ms. Gu was just showing it. Little Yining had a terrible temper. If she grew up with such a reputation, she'd have a hard time. It was just copying books, so she'd do it.
