"Think about it carefully."

Qin Yaoguang said, "Go kneel down in the corridor. When you figure it out, stand up."

She was not one who liked to use corporal punishment, but since it concerned the fate of the eldest brother, and seeing that he had become enlightened, she took the opportunity to give him strong drugs.

"Yes."

The eldest brother kowtowed, without any resentment in his eyes, and stepped back to kneel on the bluestone slab outside.

The food was served inside. The fourth brother grabbed Qin Yaoguang's arm and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back.

The little guy's mind was transparent. Qin Yaoguang smiled and said to Chunfen, "Go get a cushion for the boss. The ground is cold. Don't kneel and hurt your knees."

The expression on the fourth child's face relaxed, and he looked at her eagerly again.

This time, Qin Yaoguang pretended not to notice and asked the maid to put food in her bowl: "Eat well, look at how thin you are, it's really pitiful."

The fourth brother had no choice but to lower his head and concentrate on eating the food in front of him.

Due to long-term food shortage, she developed the habit of eating very quickly, with no manners at all. She could be described as "wolfing down" her food.

Qin Yaoguang saw it and winked at Nanny Deng.

Nanny Deng nodded and made a note of this in her mind.

However, now is the time to eat, so you should eat well and find some time to practice your etiquette alone.

The fourth child was well fed and the room was warm enough, so her little face had a rosy glow, making her features look even more delicate and lovely.

At her age, she had both the tenderness of a little girl and the beauty of a young girl. In addition, the baby fat on her face had long since faded, making her look even more beautiful.

Qin Yaoguang thought: No wonder old people like children who eat well. She also hopes to raise the fourth child healthy as soon as possible.

Although thinness was not considered beautiful in that era, the noble ladies she had seen in the palace, including herself, were beautiful but too weak.

In the second half of this book, things are not peaceful from the court to the people. It is better to rely on yourself than on others, and you must have the ability to protect yourself.

But at the moment, seeing the fourth child looking at her obediently, Qin Yaoguang suppressed her thoughts and told Guyu with a smile: "Pack up these untouched dishes and let the eldest brother take the fourth sister back to Zhufeng Courtyard."

"We will have calligraphy lessons tomorrow, and Fourth Sister should also familiarize herself with the textbook."

She calmly changed the way she addressed the eldest and fourth brother, becoming more intimate. Seeing that the fourth brother did not show any annoyance, Qin Yaoguang smiled lightly.

No matter how many sins the original owner had committed, she could change them all like boiling a frog in warm water!

Everyone in the room knew that she was making excuses. Guyu pursed her lips and smiled, and took the little girl to put away the dishes, and joked: "I know that the master will never let the young master suffer."

"Isn't that right?"

Madam Deng said, "They say that a father is strict and a mother is kind. Our master is the only one in this mansion, so he has to take on the roles of both father and mother. Even if he has to bear the blame, he has to teach the young masters and young ladies well."

Qin Yaoguang knew very well that Nanny Deng was trying to make up for the original owner's past behavior.

After all, she is not a native of the Dajing Dynasty. This angle is something she has never thought of. Nanny Deng interpreted it very well.

Chunfen, who was waiting on the side, laughed and joked: "Master, you still say no? It's obvious that you are afraid that the young masters in Zhufeng Courtyard will worry about your sister, so you asked the fourth young lady to go back specially. You must be very distressed."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense."

Qin Yaoguang smiled and stopped her, and asked Chun Xing, who was serving the fourth child, to bring a red satin fox fur cloak, and tied the laces for her personally, and then carefully reminded her: "It's cold outside, go to the yard and talk to your brothers and sisters and come back. As for the textbooks, they will be taught tomorrow anyway, so there is no rush."

The clothes she wore were all scented with cold fragrance. At such a close distance, when the fourth brother smelled the fragrance and saw the tenderness between her brows, he felt a little dazed.

Is this person really the "evil witch" that the second brother mentioned?

Why do I feel like, apart from looking the same, he's a completely different person?

The fourth brother was frightened by the sudden idea that came to his mind. He quickly suppressed it in his mind and agreed obediently.

Chunfen went out with the food box, greeted the still kneeling boss, and said, "Master, the master asked you to take the rewarded food back to Zhufeng Courtyard and send the fourth young lady back to familiarize herself with the textbooks."

The eldest son was stubborn and said, "Since mother has punished me, I haven't figured it out yet, so I can't get up."

Chunfen was a smart person, and immediately took the chicken feather as a token of authority and said, "It is the master's order to let the young master return to Zhufeng Courtyard."

The fourth child was wearing a red satin cloak and standing in the light of the corridor, looking as pretty as a flower.

When she heard what the boss said, she bit her lip lightly, stroked her arm and said in a trembling voice, "It's so cold."

Hearing this, the boss immediately looked up, with anxiety in his eyes.

"Brother, can you take me back first? It will be too cold once the sun goes down."

Chunfen understood what she meant and immediately touched her hand and said, "Hey, your hands are frozen. You can't stand like this anymore. You will be warmer if you walk."

The eldest brother then gritted his teeth, propped himself up on his knees and stood up from the ground, muffled and said: "I'll take the fourth sister back."

He knelt for almost an hour and hadn't eaten dinner, but now he looked like nothing had happened. Compared to the punishments he had received in the past, this was nothing.

I remember that they were punished to kneel for most of the day.

There was no cushion to protect the knees, as they were covered with broken porcelain pieces. After kneeling for a long time, not only did the legs become numb and painful, but the knees were also rubbed to a bloody mess, which was a horrible sight.

As soon as the group arrived at the gate of Zhufeng Courtyard, they saw Bai Lu standing at the door with a lantern in her hand, craning her neck to look around.

Seeing them walk in, Bai Lu hurriedly came forward and said, "Greetings to the eldest young master and the fourth young lady. I was worried that the road would be dark and difficult to travel."

The eldest brother looked up at the sincere worry in her eyes, lowered his head and said nothing, the doubts in his heart grew stronger.

The children were anxiously waiting for the eldest child to come back, but he came back a little late today. It was not until they saw the fourth child appear in front of them safely that they breathed a sigh of relief and gathered around her to talk.

Chunfen smiled and opened the food box. He felt the temperature with the back of his hand and said, "It's still hot. Master, hurry up and eat. Don't be hungry."

"Look what I'm saying? You come back so late and you don't even give me food." The third brother said coldly, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

The second brother made a quiet gesture and said to Bai Lu, "Sister Bai Lu, please come back later to clean up so that we can have a good talk."

Bailu agreed immediately, went out with Chunfen, and took the maidservant with her.

The second brother stepped forward and closed the door. He looked at the fourth brother and asked in a low voice, "Fourth sister, how did she treat you in Huamu Hall?"

His question made the fire in the fourth brother's heart, which had been forced to be extinguished, burn again.

Her bright eyes flashed and she said something that shocked everyone.
