Farming and reading lady

Naturally, people who don't know them won't make rash comments. Those who have met them once or several times will not, under normal moral principles, do things like gossip about others behind their backs. Some people who originally supported Princess Qiaoyin and her gang, after hearing what the previous people said, were smart enough not to mention the dirty things that happened in the past.

"Oh, from what you officials and ladies said, Gu Xixian is quite low-key and humble, right?" The emperor's smile remained unchanged. After listening, he made a small summary and asked.

Although the ladies of each family lowered their heads and dared not look directly at the emperor, they could still glance at each other. There were still few people as "intelligent" as Lu Jiaojiao. If you ask what is the most important survival condition in a big family? The first one that is highly respected must be: observe the facial expressions! Although the girls are not very old, they are all very smart.

Seeing that everyone was nodding, the emperor seemed to be in a good mood. He laughed and said to Wang Chuanshuo, "Please invite Lord Lu and his family out."

The emperor's study was large, but it was not good to have too many people crowded together. Besides, he also wanted to hear what these so-called noble ladies could say, so before the noble ladies came, he asked people to invite the group of people in front to the side hall to rest. But these children were all smart, and it seemed that the Lu Zhong family had a stupid sister who betrayed her father.

Lu Zhong dragged himself in with great effort. The side hall they were in was only separated from the study by a wall, and there was a hidden air hole. As long as the emperor wanted, he could hear the noise next door clearly. At this point, what else did he not understand? Was his silly girl being used as a gun by others, or was she the kind who happily sent herself to the door?

Mrs. Lu was already disheartened at this point. If she had previously held a glimmer of hope about the arrival of Princess Qiaoyin and the others, now she no longer dared to hold out any hope. Their family was finished.

Lu Jiaojiao's face was full of disbelief and hurt. No one knew where she got the courage from. She passed her parents and rushed directly to Princess Sun Qiaorong and Princess Qiaoyin, pulling their sleeves and shouting, "Sister Qiaorong, didn't you tell me that Madam Tong couldn't give birth and raise a child herself, so she wanted to raise that country bumpkin and send him back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion as a concubine, just to firmly control the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Princess, Princess, you were there that day, and you said you would teach that ignorant girl a lesson, and she actually dared to be rude to you."

Sun Qiaorong's face turned pale. She shook off Lu Jiaojiao's hand and shouted sternly, "Miss Lu, what's wrong with you? We are just ordinary friends. When did I ever say such a thing? You actually dare to associate with the princess. Are you going to die?"

Princess Qiaoyin also said, "Miss Lu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You and I are not familiar with each other, so how could I say such things in front of you?"

Lu Jiaojiao's body was shaky, and she murmured in despair: "Didn't you say I was your best friend? Now you're saying you don't know me well. You said those words to me in person, but now you're saying you didn't say them."

"Miss Lu, if you continue to slander me and tarnish my reputation, I will ask the emperor to give me justice." Princess Qiaoyin's eyes flashed with cruelty.

Lu Jiaojiao was so irritated by this that she threw herself into a desperate rage: "I'm slandering you? I'm defaming you? What, is it so great to have an uncle who is the emperor? Although I, Lu Jiaojiao, am stupid, I dare to take responsibility for my actions. I'm not like you, a murderer who kills without shedding blood and only knows how to play dirty tricks."

"You..." Princess Qiaoyin didn't expect that Lu Jiaojiao would have the courage to scold her, and she raised her hand to hit her.

Lu Jiaojiao grabbed her hand and said, "What? You still want to hit me? Go ahead. I, Lu Jiaojiao, am a fool. Don't think that everyone else is a fool. There are many smart people. Haha."

After scolding the princess, she turned her fire to Sun Qiaorong: "And you, what kind of person are you? You always look up to others. You just have an aunt who is a concubine. It's not you who is a concubine. You are always dissatisfied with this or that. I, Lu Jiaojiao, have been unlucky for eight lifetimes to meet you two bastards and be used as a gun by you. Don't worry, it's not that I won't take revenge, it's just that the time has not come yet. You will definitely not have a good end."

"You..." Sun Qiaorong didn't have the confidence to take action, but she was also very angry. Lu Jiaojiao was like a mad dog now, and she was really a little scared.

Lu Jiaojiao reached out her hand and touched her smooth face, patted it and said, "What about me? Sister Sun, what do you want to say? Do you also want to accuse me of slandering you? Oh, maybe you also want me to find witnesses to prove it. Alas, now I finally know why you always like to talk to me alone, it turns out you are waiting for me here. It doesn't matter, I am stupid, I deserve it, I am here to wish Sister Qiaorong that your life will be as bad as a whore in a brothel, hahaha..."

As she laughed, Lu Jiaojiao burst into tears. She ran back to Lu Zhong and his wife, knelt down and kowtowed three times to them: "Daddy and Mom, it was Jiao'er's fault. It was Jiao'er who hurt you. Jiao'er is sorry."

After she kowtowed to her parents, she knelt in front of the emperor and kowtowed three times, with her forehead touching the ground: "Your Majesty, all of this is my fault. I have kept all my wrongdoings a secret from my family. My parents don't know about these things at all. I hope that the emperor can show leniency and forgive my parents. I am willing to die to atone for my sins."

Committing suicide by hitting a pillar or biting one's tongue was not acceptable. Doing these things in front of the emperor was not an apology, but a threat. It was a crime worthy of death. Lu Jiaojiao had never been so clear-headed as she was at this moment. She just lay prone on the ground, waiting for the emperor's decision.

Gu Xixian next door heard her scolding and really wanted to applaud her, so the bad guys need to be dealt with by the bad guys, and people like Princess Qiaoyin who are used to playing dirty tricks need to be directly confronted by Lu Jiaojiao. But after hearing the latter part, she looked at Tong Mingyan thoughtfully, her mind turned slightly, but she didn't say anything.

The emperor in the study did not respond immediately, but said to the ladies: "The nobility of a person does not lie in his status, but in his words and deeds. I hope you will go back and cultivate your words, virtues and appearance."

"Your servants will obey the holy words!" All the noble ladies responded in unison.

The emperor said, "Wang Chuan, give Grand Tutor Sun a copy of "Female Instructions" and tell him that I don't want to be held responsible for raising him without educating him one day."

Everyone: You have given her the "Instructions for Women" as a gift, so isn't that fulfilling your responsibility of raising a child without educating him?

The emperor turned to Princess Qiaoyin again. Although he was still smiling, his eyes were cold. "Qiaoyin has always been well-behaved and sensible. It must be because Xianyun taught her well. Wang Chuan, take a ruler and let this girl take it back. Qiaoyin, let your mother hang this ruler three feet high in the hall so that she can look at it every day."

Princess Qiaoyin trembled all over, and she called out in a trembling voice: "Uncle..."

But before she could finish her words, the emperor interrupted her: "I am your lord first, and your relative second. I hope Princess Qiaoyin will remember this."

The voice was so cold that it made Qiaoyin shiver from the inside out. This was a warning from the emperor, a warning to sever ties with the emperor.

"Qiaoyin has taken note of it." The more she spoke, the more mistakes she made. She dared not speak anymore.

"Okay, Wang Chuan, send the ladies back." The emperor waved his hand and didn't look at them again.
