Wang Xifeng kept her word. After Jia Baoyu and Jia Zhen had been given ten strokes of the cane, she sneered, "Don't fall into her hands next time."
Kill them all! She's just unlucky today!
Ugh, what bad luck!
He strode in to find Shen Ajiao.
"Mrs. Lin is making a fool of herself."
"Everyone has their little troubles." Shen Ajiao patted Wang Xifeng's hand, telling her not to worry about it, and told her that Qin Keqing had woken up.
Wang Xifeng thanked Shen Ajiao and went inside.
Shen Ajiao glanced at the chaotic scene outside, smiled calmly, and thought, "Perhaps this time will be different."
"Mrs!"
"Hehe, here I come, here I come."
...
"Does Madam mean that Grandmother not only didn't punish or discipline Baoyu, but also felt sorry for him being frightened?" Lin Daiyu listened to Shen Ajiao's description and felt as if she had swallowed a fly. It took her a long time to find her voice.
"He's already scared? What's wrong with Xiren's life? Isn't that enough???"
"What kind of indecent words are these?!"
"Madam, let's go there less often in the future."
"Madam, did you hear that?"
"Mrs?"
...
Lin Daiyu had a premonition that something bad was going to happen to the Jia family, and it would be a big one. There wasn't a single sensible person in the family. This was like pulling a tiger's tail and crying for help—a death wish!
Lin Daiyu made up her mind that she would not fail to show filial piety in any way she was supposed to, but it was absolutely impossible for her to ask for more!
The next day, Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu went to school as usual. Before they even got off the carriage, they heard an angry voice shouting at them from outside.
"It's been so hard to find!"
Oh no, how could I have forgotten about her!
"Hehe, greetings to Princess Baozhu."
[They seem to have ill intentions; Level 1 alert!]
Run!
If not now, when?
"Stop! Where did you go yesterday?" Cui Baozhu quickly blocked Shen Ajiao's path, glaring fiercely at her.
"If you don't talk, I'll throw you in jail right now and accuse you of extortion!"
Shen Ajiao's eyes widened. "No way, is he really that stingy?"
Going to jail for something so trivial?
mean!
Lin Daiyu: Madam, have you forgotten about the jade bracelet you tricked someone out of?
“Princess Baozhu, you are so magnanimous. Look at your beauty and extraordinary demeanor. Every move you make exudes the majesty of the royal family. How could you trouble the Dali Temple for such a trivial private matter?”
After Shen Ajiao's flattery, Cui Baozhu proudly raised her chin and released her hand that was blocking her way. "Since you know what's good for you, I won't bother with you. Humph."
"That's right, Princess, your bearing is as lofty as an eagle, as magnanimous as a mountain, and as dazzling as the sun. Oh my... what's so dazzling? It's our Princess Baozhu..."
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so sweet-talking despite your age. I, the princess, now allow you to be my classmate."
【Pah! You're the one who's old, your whole family is old. Who wants to be your classmate? I'm the Imperial Uncle's proper classmate, the Crown Prince—yes, who might be the future Emperor—I'm connected to you, hmph!】
Lin Daiyu: In this life, I've only ever seen that Madam is two-faced.
"Thank you, Princess Baozhu. This way, please."
[Pah! Bullying others by abusing one's power! Humph!]
"Princess, your dress is truly dazzling and exquisitely crafted."
"You like it?"
Shen Ajiao quickly nodded, while Cui Baozhu glanced arrogantly at Lin Daiyu beside her, "Call me 'sister,' and you two will each receive one."
[Oh no, Lin Baobao would never give in to a dress!]
【How dare she insult us like that! We don't want her anymore, no matter how pretty she is!】
【At worst, we can ask Lin Ruhai to buy it for us. We don't care!】
It's just a dress, everyone has one...
The next second, as if she'd seen a ghost, Shen Ajiao heard Lin Daiyu step forward and take Cui Baozhu's arm, sweetly calling out, "Sister Baozhu~"
"Hey, take this and play with it." He gave her a jade bracelet.
As she spoke, Cui Baozhu took Lin Daiyu's hand and intimately discussed the styles of clothing, "I think pink and purple suit you well. I have several bolts of that color left; it'll be enough to make two outfits. They'll shimmer and shine in the sun, looking absolutely gorgeous..."
No? What happened?
no?
The princess I fawned over was snatched away by Lin Baobao just because she called me "sister"?
But seeing Cui Baozhu turn her head away without looking back, Chen Ajiao felt dejected.
【Come back here! I'm upset, but I won't say anything.】
"Mrs. Lin, why aren't you going inside yet?"
Shen Ajiao was startled and turned around. It turned out to be her uncle, Huo Huaixi.
"Greetings, Your Highness"
"Yes, Mrs. Lin, please come in quickly, the tutor has arrived."
He was about to leave after saying that.
Shen Ajiao peeked out and, sure enough, Zhang Shaofu was already sitting on the three-foot-high platform.
【Oh no, he's here so early today, is he going to check my memorization again?】
[Waaaaah, I'm doomed! I was at the scene of the drama yesterday, how could I have had time to study?]
【Amitabha Buddha, may the true gods protect us, may all the bodhisattvas protect us…】Hands clasped together.
"They don't offer incense normally, but seek Buddha in times of crisis?"
Shen Ajiao stiffened, looked at Huo Huaixi who was watching the spectacle from the side, and grinned, "Your Highness, you misunderstood. I was praying to Buddha to bless my uncle so that he can memorize all the draws."
【May you always be called out by name and randomly checked, so you can scare me, lulu~】
Huo Huaixi smiled and said, "Thank you, but there's no need."
"Mrs. Lin, please."
"Please, Your Highness."
