Madam Ling Er naturally remembered what the eldest princess said today.
However, she felt that Ling Xiang must have dared to disobey her today because she had won the favor of the eldest princess. Now that she had returned to the mansion, Ling Xiang was always cowardly and closed the door. She could do whatever she wanted, and she believed that Ling Xiang would not dare to disobey!
So, she called Nanny Zhang to teach Ling Xiang a lesson, thinking of suppressing Ling Xiang and letting her know who is the head of the family in the mansion, and see if she dares to disobey her in the future!
And yet, Ling Xiang actually dared! Not only did she disobey her, she even dared to use the eldest princess's feathers as a token of authority. Did she really think that with the eldest princess as her backer, she could do whatever she wanted in the palace?!
Innocent!
Madam Ling II looked down at her with disdain, "A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. If you make a mistake, you should be punished by the family rules. Even if you are the eldest princess, you cannot interfere in the family affairs of the Zhenguo Marquisate!"
"Wrong?" Ling Xiang would of course not admit her mistake - she was not wrong in the first place, and if there was any fault, it was Ling Zhang's fault.
After resting, she stood up and glanced meaningfully at a certain part of Madam Ling's body. "Although Second Aunt made a mistake today, she's already been spanked, so it can be considered a punishment. There's no need for family discipline, right?"
Madam Ling Er had lost face today and had long ago warned her followers not to tell anyone about her being beaten. However, Ling Xiang actually dared to tell anyone about it in public, making her extremely embarrassed. She immediately became furious:
"How dare you! Today, you publicly contradicted our elders and spoke nonsense, tarnishing the reputation of the Zhenguo Marquisate's Mansion. I consider you are still young, so I am only punishing you with a small punishment and making you kneel in the ancestral hall for two hours. Since you are so stubborn and have no idea of your mistakes, don't blame Second Aunt for being cruel!"
After saying this, Madam Ling II gave a cold order: "Tie up the Third Young Lady and confine her to the ancestral hall for three days to reflect on her mistakes. Do not give her any food or drink!"
Mrs. Ling's guards were all masters of the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion. They were many times more skilled than the guards at the gate. They quickly rushed towards Ling Xiang.
Ling Xiang paid no attention to the guards rushing over. She only looked at Mrs. Ling coldly, "Second Aunt, think carefully. Do you really want to bear the infamy of bullying the only bloodline of my eldest brother?"
"It's because my eldest brother is gone that I have to discipline you on his behalf!" Mrs. Ling Er just wanted to vent her anger and didn't take Ling Xiang's words to heart at all.
"Second Aunt, you forced me to do this." Ling Xiang sighed helplessly. The moment the guard's hand grabbed her, she quickly dodged and at the same time threw a punch at the guard's stomach, knocking the guard two meters away.
She took a step forward, quickly changed her position, and swung her fists continuously, knocking down all the guards in a short while.
Ling Xiang clenched his fists, feeling quite satisfied with the fact that this body fit him perfectly and that he could fight with ease.
Madam Ling Er was dumbfounded, and it took her a long time to find her voice: "It's a rebellion! It's really a rebellion!"
"Rebellion?" Ling Xiang clenched his fists and approached Mrs. Ling Er step by step.
Madam Ling Er was horrified and stepped back subconsciously. She happened to step on a fallen guard and stumbled, about to fall.
If Madam Ling really fell on the guards, it would be an ugly scene.
Ling Xiang grabbed her with a cold expression, making people think that she was going to hit someone the next moment.
"You still want to hit me!" Mrs. Ling Er was really afraid of being beaten by Ling Xiang, so she said in a timid manner.
Ling Xiang wanted to beat up Mrs. Ling Er on behalf of the original owner, but now was not the time.
She let go of Madam Ling Er, clapped her hands, and warned, "What's the point of rebelling? Second Aunt, be careful with your words and don't bring disaster to the Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion."
The noise here was so loud that it startled Mr. Ling who was already asleep.
Mrs. Ling Er exaggerated the situation, and Mr. Ling Er was furious. He raised his hand and slapped Ling Xiang, "You evil creature! Did I raise you so that you could act tyrannically in the family?"
Mr. Ling's kung fu is among the best in the mansion. With this palm strike, Ling Xiang will be crippled if not killed.
The powerful internal force came with a strong sense of oppression. Ling Xiang quickly grabbed Ling Erye's hand and took his attack.
The Kung Fu in the world of the book was indeed powerful. Even though she had used her clever strength to dissipate some of Mr. Ling's strength, her blood and energy were still churning and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
She stared at Master Ling, her eyes filled with sarcasm. "Second Uncle, are you going to slap Xiang'er in the face? The Princess said today that she would take me to study at the Prince of Qin's Mansion. If the Princess asks about the injury on Xiang'er's face, Xiang'er will have no choice but to tell the truth."
Mr. Ling looked at Mrs. Ling and asked, "Is that true?"
Madam Ling Er said bitterly, "It was only because of the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion that the Princess allowed Ling Xiang to go to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to learn etiquette. If Yan'er had gone there today, she would definitely have been even happier."
The implication is that Ling Xiang caught the eldest princess's eye because of Ling Yan's visit to the garden, and she should be grateful to their family.
Ling Xiang was too lazy to argue, she just looked at Mr. Ling Er, waiting for his decision.
Master Ling glared at Madam Ling Er with dissatisfaction, then withdrew his hand and said with a gentle smile, "Xiang'er, since you are going to the Princess to learn etiquette, you must not bring shame to the Zhenguo Marquisate. Tomorrow you will go out to buy some clothes and jewelry. If you need any silver, just go to the accounting office and ask for it."
"Thank you, second uncle. Second aunt just asked me to go to the ancestral hall to kneel as punishment. Xiang'er will go now." Ling Xiang turned around and walked towards the ancestral hall.
Master Ling narrowed his eyes, but did not stop him. Instead, he said, "That's good. Xiang'er has brought honor to the Zhenguo Marquisate today. It's a good opportunity to go to the ancestral hall and tell my elder brother and sister-in-law the good news."
Mrs. Ling's eyes seemed to be filled with poison, and she wanted to stare a hole through Ling Xiang. She immediately signaled Nanny Zhang to follow.
After everyone left, Master Ling ordered Madam Ling to go back to her room. As soon as he closed the door, he slapped Madam Ling without any hesitation:
"Idiot! Since Ling Xiang has caught the eye of the Princess, it's a blessing for our Zhenguo Marquisate. As long as we take advantage of it, there's no need to worry about not being able to use this opportunity to inherit the title of Zhenguo Marquisate. How dare you hide such an important thing from me?!"
Mrs. Ling II covered her swollen cheek and said aggrievedly, "Master, you don't know that today Ling Xiang not only embarrassed me in public, but also dared to imply to others that we are disrespectful to my brother and sister-in-law..."
"So you came back to make things difficult for Ling Xiang so as to confirm all this? Stupid!" Mr. Ling Er was so angry that he slapped Mrs. Ling Er again.
Madam Ling Er cried and whimpered, "Master..."
"Shut up!" Master Ling scolded. "I've taught you all these years! No matter what Ling Xiang says, as long as others see how well we treat our niece, Ling Xiang! Then, outsiders will think Ling Xiang is lying! All the speculations that are unfavorable to us will be refuted!"
Madam Ling Er nodded quickly, and said with pain: "Master, what I am saying is that I was not thoughtful today and only wanted to suppress Ling Xiang's arrogance..."
Thinking of Ling Xiang's rebellious attitude today, Mr. Ling felt upset and nodded, "You still have to suppress your arrogance, but you can't show it openly."
