"What my eighth sister-in-law said is right, but he hasn't committed any serious crime. Wouldn't it be too harsh to give him dozens of lashes?" Fu Jin still has to maintain her gentle and kind personality in public.
"It's just a few spankings. How can that be considered harsh? Some people are just mean-spirited. If you're not a little more ruthless, she'll become even more unscrupulous and presumptuous in the future..."
The Eighth Lady's words became more and more unpleasant, and even Shancha and Nanny Song could hardly bear it anymore.
But Wen Mianmian acted as if she didn't hear anything, and continued to walk leisurely behind, holding the child's hand.
The Eighth Lady noticed out of the corner of her eye that Wen Mianmian had been listening for a while with an indifferent expression on her face, and she couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
This Concubine Wen is really patient.
"Don't you think so, Concubine Wen?" The Eighth Concubine turned her head and looked at Wen Mianmian and spoke.
Wen Mianmian looked towards her when she heard him calling her, and said with a smile, "Eighth Lady is right."
Eighth Concubine: “…”
"So as a concubine, you should be more self-aware. Don't think that you can lose your sense of propriety just because you have received a little favor from your master..."
The more Tiantian looked at her, the more she disliked her, and Chenchen whispered to her as he came up to her.
"Brother, this Eighth Aunt speaks so strangely. Mother isn't from their family, so why does she always look at her when she speaks?"
They are already three years old, so they still understand what concubine means.
This eighth aunt is so bad, just as bad as the witch my mother described.
"I don't know. Maybe he's just making small talk, or maybe he's just jealous." They heard the word jealous from their mother when she was telling them stories.
Some people are jealous of others because they can't stand others being better than them. My mother said that jealousy is a very bad thing and told them not to learn it.
"Well, I think so. Aunt Eighth probably just can't stand seeing others do better than her..."
The two of them thought they were speaking very quietly, but everyone was not very far away, so the Eighth Lady heard some of it.
Wen Mianmian heard this and thought to herself that it was not good.
Sure enough, the next second the Eighth Lady stopped.
He walked up to the two of them and angrily said, "What are you talking about? You are so young, can you say anything nonsense?"
Seeing this, Wen Mianmian quickly pulled the children behind her.
Tiantian and Chenchen were startled by the sudden loud voice and hid behind their mother, not daring to speak.
When they looked up, they saw the angry and distorted face of the Eighth Lady. The two siblings were almost scared to tears, and their eyes were filled with tears.
Woo woo woo, it’s so scary, Eighth Aunt is scarier than a witch.
Fortunately, the Eighth Lady didn't know what they were really thinking, otherwise she would have been so angry that she would have died.
"Eighth Lady, the children are young. If they have offended me in any way, I will apologize on their behalf." Wen Mianmian stood in front of the children and spoke to the Eighth Lady.
"You're young, and you can say whatever you want. Look at what they just said. I'm the Eighth Concubine, so why should I be jealous of anyone?"
"But you're right. How could a child so young possibly understand the meaning of these words? Someone must have taught them how to say them. It's true that children who grow up around concubines are so uneducated."
When Tiantian heard this, she immediately became dissatisfied. She was such a well-behaved girl, but her eighth aunt actually said that she was uneducated.
Even though she was only three years old, she knew that "uneducated" was an insult.
A small head popped out from behind Wen Mianmian and said unconvincedly, "Aunt Eight is wrong. My mother is very kind to us. That's why she never taught us to say anything unpleasant."
"That's right, even a three-year-old child understands these principles. It's Aunt Eight who speaks rudely and hits people. You are worse than a witch." Chenchen also poked his little head out and spoke.
"What did you say? You said I was a witch." The Eighth Lady looked at Chenchen in disbelief and said angrily: "Come out here, or I'll teach you a lesson."
This was the first time in her life that someone had called her a witch. Although she didn't understand what the words meant, she could tell from their expressions that it was not a nice thing to say.
The Eighth Lady was determined to teach this brat a lesson for daring to scold her.
Chenchen and Tiantian quickly hid behind their mother.
The eldest prince and the eldest princess were also frightened by the scene and hid behind their wet nurses.
The Fourth Lady was also shocked. This Eighth Brother's Wife was really...
But she felt inexplicably relieved.
It was because of this that she did not stand up to speak for Wen Mianmian at the first time. After all, they were the only ones here.
If something really happened, she would have a reason to explain it away.
Wen Mianmian quickly stopped her, "Eighth Lady, I'll do it for..."
Before Wen Mianmian could finish her words, the Eighth Lady became even more furious when she saw her and pushed her forward, "Get out of the way~"
Fortunately, he was supported by Nanny Song and Shan Cha, otherwise the fall would have been serious.
"Master, are you okay?" Nanny Song asked worriedly.
Wen Mianmian shook her head. Fortunately, she had been prepared in advance and kept her body steady, otherwise it would be hard to say.
"Eighth Madam, although the child was wrong, we are here to apologize to you. How could you hit someone?" Nanny Song said angrily.
"Who do you think you are? You are just a lowly servant, and you are not worthy to talk to me here." As she said this, the Eighth Lady wanted to walk up to the two children, but was stopped by a voice.
"Eighth brother's sister~"
The Sixth Lady came over here with her people.
"Fourth sister-in-law, little fourth sister-in-law, you are here too." The Sixth Concubine bowed to the Fourth Concubine.
"Eighth brother and sister-in-law, what are you doing?" The Sixth Lady looked around and said with a smile, "I just heard a commotion here. The voices sounded familiar and I thought something was wrong, so I hurried over to check it out."
"Sixth sister-in-law." The Eighth Lady bowed slightly when she saw her.
"What's going on here? The atmosphere is so weird."
"It's okay, it's okay. The child just said a few wrong words. Eighth sister-in-law, please be magnanimous and don't bother with the child." Only then did the Fourth Lady step forward to smooth things over.
When the Eighth Lady saw so many people here and heard what her Fourth Sister-in-law said, she spoke to Wen Mianmian.
"Today, I will not argue with you for the sake of Fourth Sister-in-law." He turned his head to look at Fourth Sister-in-law and said, "Fourth Sister-in-law, they are really too rude. You are the wife after all. You can't let a concubine bring up the child."
After saying that, the Eighth Lady snorted coldly at Wen Mianmian, said hello to the Fourth and Sixth Sisters-in-law, and left.
"Mrs. Wen, you too, the child is so young, you have to teach him well, how can you say such things casually..." After the Eighth Concubine left, Concubine Fu looked at Wen Mianmian with a stern face and spoke unhappily without caring whether the Sixth Concubine was there or not.
"Yes, I know I was wrong. I will teach these children well in the future."
"If you really don't know how to teach them, you can send them to me and I can teach them myself for you."
