"Incredibly stupid!"

Lin Yushu did not hide her disdain. If the criteria for admission to Lingjiu Hall were based on a woman's three obediences and four virtues, then that would go against the original intention of its establishment. It would just be a different way of instilling the idea that the husband is the God in women.

She disdains to come to such a place.

"how do I say this?"

Master Wei's unshakable expression finally showed a wavering look, and he looked at Lin Yushu curiously.

"She was given her body and hair by her parents, and it is unfilial to die lightly; the thief who harmed her is still alive, but she is eager to die, which only confirms the rumors and embarrasses her husband's family, making her relatives sad and her enemies happy. This is unwise; public gossip can melt gold, and accumulated criticism can destroy a person. She tried to use death to escape rumors, which is cowardly."

"If you were her, how would you break the situation?"

"Find the thief and send him to the government."

What Lin Yushu didn't say was that if the government didn't kill him, she would kill him herself.

"that's it?"

"If my husband's family doesn't tolerate me, then I'll divorce him."

No matter how hard life is after the divorce, it is better than death, because death means nothing...

Master Wei did not expect to hear such an unorthodox answer. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stroked his beard.

He could see the murderous intent that Lin Yushu inadvertently revealed when she said this. How could a lady from a wealthy family have such a strong character?

In fact, as long as Lin Yushu's answer is not to praise a woman's act of dying, she can be admitted.

But her answer was beyond Master Wei's expectations and went to the other extreme...

Master Wei was a little curious about Lin Yushu. There were also some young ladies from aristocratic families who had strong tempers, but they would not reveal their personalities so straightforwardly in front of the master.

The little girl in front of him had a calm and dignified temperament, bright and sharp eyes, revealing a stubbornness that was inconsistent with her age. After a little thought, Master Wei made a decision.

"What? Lin Yushu was accepted as a disciple by Master Wei?"

The Second Madam's eyes were wide open with disbelief. A small number of outstanding students in Lingjiu Hall would be accepted as disciples by the Master.

For example, Lin Qingrou and Liu Mei were both accepted as disciples by Master Yang, a female master with superb skills in painting and dancing.

Master Wei was a great Confucian scholar and had great prestige in the Great Zhou. He was not only a teacher in Lingjiu Hall, but also a principal in the Imperial Academy. He was extremely knowledgeable, but he was a solitary person and seldom accepted disciples.

Lin Yushu actually caught his eye, why? !

"I think Master Wei had some friendship with the old Duke of Qing when he was young, so he accepted Lin Yushu."

The old lady didn't expect that Lin Yushu would be noticed by this great scholar on the first day of school, but considering the fame of Lin Yushu's grandfather back then, she could understand it.

But the Second Madam didn't want to understand. She just felt that since Lin Yushu returned home, various accidents had occurred frequently in the mansion, but Lin Yushu was getting better and better.

I'm afraid it's just like Hui'er said, Lin Yushu is a disaster star who specifically targets them.

"Don't take it too seriously. No matter how powerful a great scholar teaches Lin Yushu, she can never be as good as Rou'er. And as long as she can learn something in Lingjiu Hall, she can marry into a similar family and pave the way for Minglang and Rou'er. You have to know the importance of this."

The old lady saw the jealousy and resentment in the second lady's eyes, so she gave her a beating.

"Don't worry, daughter-in-law." The second wife suppressed her resentment, lowered her head and said obediently.

"You need to worry about Rou'er and Shu'er's marriage, so let Madam Li help you with the chores in the mansion."

The Second Madam's heart tightened when she heard this. This meant that her power as housekeeper was to be taken away from her!

Ever since Li Da and Li Er died on the edge of the cliff for no apparent reason, the old lady and the second lady began to be suspicious of each other.

The old lady suspected that the second lady's men had evil intentions and actually robbed the palace's convoy.

The Second Madam suspected that the deaths of Li Da and Li Er were not simple. She knew her own people well, so how could they rob a few maids of their worthless items!

Li Da and Li Er are both great martial arts masters, so how could they die inexplicably on the cliff as Nanny Li said? I'm afraid this matter is related to Nanny Li.

Both of them have their own evil intentions.

"Mother loves her daughter-in-law, and I understand. Although there are many things to do in the mansion, I have been in charge of them for many years and have long been accustomed to them. If I hand them over to Madam Li, I am afraid it will take Madam Li some time to get used to it, which will delay the important work."

"It's okay. Don't forget that before you became the housekeeper, most of the affairs in the mansion were handled by Nanny Li. You can leave it to her without worry."

Seeing that the situation was not going to improve, the Second Lady could no longer refuse and was filled with hatred.

Spring comes and winter goes, and it is already April.

During this period, the second wife was busy competing with the old lady for the power of housekeeper. When Liu Mei heard that the prince was asking about her, she was so scared that she dared not leave the house. She hid in Ci'an Courtyard and accompanied the old lady every day.

After Lin Xuehui was released from house arrest, she did not leave the house, because she was afraid that people would see that she had become a cripple. Her temper became even worse, and she would smash things and beat the maids in the house every day.

Only Lin Qingrou was like a butterfly, fluttering around in the mansions of various officials and aristocratic families in the capital every day, busy as a whim.

Lin Yushu devoted herself to studying in Lingjiu Hall. In addition to learning the most basic Four Books and Five Classics from Master Wei, she also learned music, chess, calligraphy, painting and needlework from other masters.

She is like a newly opened flower, greedily absorbing nutrients and growing upwards, waiting to dazzle the capital city when she blooms.

On April 20th, Lingjiu Hall will conduct a small test. Although it is called a small test, it is actually not small at all.

The daughters of noble families care a lot about the results of the annual tests. If they can come out on top in a certain skill, they will be called the Lingjiu Top, which is a great honor.

In particular, every year the Princess of Pingyang would invite the young masters and daughters of various mansions to her mansion for a spring banquet in May, and would invite the top performers to perform.

Every year, the top-ranked people will shine at the Spring Banquet, and their reputation and marriage will reach a new level.

Therefore, the daughters of Lingjiu Hall tried their best to compete for the top spot.

Pingyang *** is the younger sister of the current emperor. Many years ago, before the current emperor ascended the throne, Pingyang *** fell in love with the hostage from Northern Liao, which displeased the previous emperor, so he sent the hostage from Northern Liao back to Northern Liao. Not long after the hostage left, Pingyang *** gave birth to a baby girl.

Pingyang *** never married and had only this daughter. Everyone knew that this daughter was the bastard child of a hostage from Northern Liao.

The rumors at the time almost drowned out Princess Pingyang. Even the late emperor disliked her daughter and did not even grant her a title.

It was not until the current emperor ascended the throne that Lady Pingyang's daughter was canonized as Princess Ning'an by the current emperor, and was given the name Nan Shuning and entered the Jade Butterfly Clan.

The current emperor and the queen mother are extremely fond of Miss Pingyang, and they love Nan Shuning even more.

Therefore, Lady Pingyang is now a well-known noble lady in the capital, and is the object of fawning by countless wives of officials.

Princess Ning'an, Nan Shuning, is a gentle and virtuous girl, and also the only friend of Lin Yushu in her previous life.

Lin Yushu met Nan Shuning at a palace banquet after she married Nan Huaishuo.

At that time, other wives of officials laughed at Lin Yushu and called her a foolish beauty. Just when Lin Yushu was ashamed and angry, Nan Shuning stood up to protect her, and the two of them started dating from then on.

However, Nan Shuning, who was so gentle and introverted like a delicate flower in a greenhouse that was unaware of wind and rain, was sent to Northern Liao by the current emperor and married to the then Crown Prince of Northern Liao.

The Crown Prince of Northern Liao was old enough to be Nan Shuning's father, and Northern Liao was originally a barbaric land. Moreover, Nan Shuning's biological father, the hostage at that time, was the Crown Prince of Northern Liao's mortal enemy.

Not surprisingly, Nan Shuning died less than two years after marrying into Bei Liao.

Later, Lin Yushu accidentally learned from Nan Huaishuo that the hostage from Northern Liao was the eighth prince of Northern Liao, and that the love between Princess Pingyang and the hostage from Northern Liao was actually arranged by the current emperor, her biological brother.

The current emperor intends to use Miss Pingyang and the child in her belly as a diversion, and let the Northern Liao hostage become a spy for the Great Zhou.

The eighth prince of Northern Liao was a man of deep affection and loyalty. In order to protect the Pingyang women and their children, he sent a lot of secret reports from Northern Liao to the Great Zhou.

With these secret reports, the current emperor earned a lot of credit in front of the late emperor.

After the Eighth Prince of Northern Liao lost hope of ascending the throne, the current emperor gave Nan Shuning to the then Crown Prince of Northern Liao, causing the Crown Prince of Northern Liao and the Eighth Prince to fight to the death.

When internal strife in Northern Liao intensified, Great Zhou took the opportunity to win several battles.

What a good plan and method!

Nan Huaishuo is the prince most like the current emperor, just as unscrupulous and ruthless.

Pingyang *** and Nan Shuning never knew until their death that their entire lives were manipulated by their relatives, just like Lin Yushu.

If she could live her life again, Lin Yushu would definitely protect Nan Shuning!
