Chapter 335 The Shangguan Family’s Tradition

"What happened today is indeed because my dear sister is ignorant. The eldest princess deserves to punish her. I will apologize to Her Highness the eldest princess on her behalf." Shangguan Chuchu whispered, with no emotion at all except humility on his face. Lu said, "My daughter's teachings are not correct. I will definitely give you some advice in the future. Please calm down, Your Royal Highness."

Yan Li said calmly: "I am not angry, and I don't want to punish her."

Shangguan Chuchu looked up at her and couldn't help but purse her lips.

"Shangguan Jiao did something wrong and needs to pay a price." Yan Li said in a cold voice, "She deserves this price, just like repaying a debt. It is only natural and right. Lan Yue did not offend her, she was arrogant and domineering towards Lan Yue Do it, this is the debt she owes, not me punishing her, does Miss Shangguan understand the difference? "

Shangguan Chuchu was silent for a moment.

Yan Li's condescending and lecturing tone made her uncomfortable, but it was true that Shangguan Jiao was at fault today.

Shangguan Chuchu nodded: "My daughter understands."

She was not angry from beginning to end and behaved like a lady. However, those with sharp eyes had already noticed that her right hand, which was covered by her wide sleeve, had already tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand.

"I learned how Shangguan Taifu is as a person when he first entered the palace. The eldest prince said that he is a very disciplined person. Judging from his granddaughter's behavior outside, this does not seem to be the case."

Shangguan Chuchu's face changed slightly, as if he was holding back his grievance: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, my sister made a mistake and should be taught a lesson, but this has nothing to do with my grandfather."

"Isn't your surname Shangguan?" Yan Li frowned, as if he was surprised by what she said, "Shangguan's family has a bad family tradition, how come you have nothing to do with the official master?"

Shangguan Chuchu said forbearingly: "As a Grand Tutor, my grandfather attaches great importance to rules and etiquette. The Shangguan family's family tradition has never been denied by anyone."

"However, the family tradition you showed today is indeed not very good. Isn't this a fact?" Yan Li frowned, "Do you think I am deliberately picking on you? Your sister attacked people in my house for no reason. Was it instigated by me?"

Shangguan Chuchu was at a loss for words: "I don't mean that, my daughter."

"I am about the same age as Miss Shangguan, or maybe a little younger than you." Yan Li smiled faintly, but the smile did not reach her eyes, "When Shangguan Taifu reprimanded me in the palace that day, I wonder if he knew that his granddaughter What kind of temperament is it?”

Shangguan Chuchu's face turned slightly pale, and the expression on his face finally turned ugly.

At this time, Lan Yue had finished twenty slaps and quietly stepped aside.

There was silence in the attic, and everyone watched this scene in silence.

"Miss Shangguan, although I don't like Shangguan Taifu's style, I am not as narrow-minded as you think, and I have no interest in avenging my personal revenge in front of everyone and deliberately humiliating you." Yan Li put down his chopsticks and turned to look at you. She said, "I'm not that boring. If Shangguanjiao hadn't caused trouble in my house today, I might not even know what you look like."

Shangguan Chu Chu has never experienced such humiliation before.

Today, in front of so many noble ladies, the embarrassment Yan Li gave her was more humiliation than she could ever experience in her entire life.

"I believe that the Shangguan family has a strict family tradition, but whether you really love your sister because you are arrogant to her, or you are deliberately indulgent, please understand the truth, Miss Shangguan." Yan Li's voice was slightly cold, "She walked out of the door of the Shangguan family, It represents the face of your Shangguan family. If she gets into trouble, even if you find a thousand reasons to excuse her, you can't deny the fact that she is a descendant of the Shangguan family. If her descendants have no rules, they are corrupted by their elders. It’s the reputation of your entire family. No matter how dignified and virtuous you, the eldest sister, behave, it can’t change the fact that one mouse droppings spoils the whole pot of porridge.”

As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Chuchu suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Shangguan Jiao's face turned pale: "This has nothing to do with eldest sister——"

"Shut up." Shangguan Chuchu interrupted her coldly, then knelt down to Yan Li, "I will remember what the eldest princess said."

Xuan Xuan and Chu Qinqin on the side heard this and looked at Shangguan Chu Chu thoughtfully, obviously understanding what Yan Li meant.

As we all know, the status of women in the Jin Dynasty was low, and concubines and concubines had no status at all.

But the concubine of the Shangguan family was always public, as if she was afraid that others would not know that she was arrogant and domineering. The ladies and ladies of the aristocratic family all said that the lady of the Shangguan family and the concubine were generous and tolerant of others, so they treated Shangguan as a spoiled child. The concubine is treated as a biological sister.

However, thinking about it now, maybe Shangguan Chuchu had a mentality of deliberately flattering and killing.

What's puzzling is that a concubine has no status, and she can't threaten her as a legitimate daughter.

If she doesn't like it, she can just ignore it. Why should she pretend to be kind to her concubine?

"I have remembered the words of the eldest princess." Shangguan Chuchu repeated and said in a low voice, "I will leave first."

After saying that, he turned around and glanced at Shangguanjiao, who had a swollen face like a pig's head, and said calmly: "I've been taught a lesson today. Please restrain your behavior in the future and go home."

After that, he walked away.

Shangguan Jiao didn't dare to say a word, stood up and left, forgetting to even salute and leave.

Lan Yue lowered her head and said, "I'll take my leave first, too."

Yan Li hummed: "Go find some ointment and apply it."

"yes."

Yan Li picked up the chopsticks again: "The matter is over. Let's eat."

An episode just passed.

But when noble ladies get together, they still chat when they should.

Xuan Xuan picked up the teacup and took a sip of fruit tea: "I always heard that the daughter of the Shangguan family was tolerant, virtuous and gentle. I always thought that she really loved her concubine sister. I didn't expect that she was so thoughtful."

"A truly smart and kind person would never let his sister make enemies outside." A girl on the opposite side said, "A big family attaches great importance to family style, especially a serious and old-fashioned person like Shangguan Taifu, who would never condone his children to mess around."

"Shangguan Chuchu has been strictly taught since childhood, and should have known that his children and grandchildren outside 's words and deeds affect the reputation of the family. She is so smart, how could she not know anything? "

"Besides, even if you just look at it from the perspective of sisters, a sister who really loves her sister will teach her the rules, let her behave properly, do things right, not make mistakes, and have good upbringing. This is really good for her. Shangguan Chuchu's indulgence in Shangguan Jiao is not intentional to harm her, but to use her sister's domineering to highlight her kindness and gentleness. "

Yan Li heard this and suddenly raised her eyes to look at the woman who spoke: "What's your name?"

The air condensed.

The women all fell silent.

Yan Li's expression was subtle, and she quickly smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, everyone, I just think you are all very smart. As a normal lady, some truths don't need to be reminded by others. Those are the rules engraved in your bones from childhood to adulthood. "

As she said, she added: "Of course, I'm not saying that all rules are right, but whether it's a man or a woman, character is the most important thing to measure whether a person is reliable or not. People who bully the weak, whether they are men or women, are looked down upon. "
