Youer, dont talk back to your father. Your father is thinking for your own good. Youre a girl but you dont learn needlework, Female Virtues or Female Disciplines. You spend all day wielding spears and knives. Im worried about you. Thats why I lecture you.

At this point, Wang Yiping came over to be a good person. She helped Zi You up and pretended to lovingly help her pat off nonexistent dust from her knees.

She couldnt help but be gloomy. Fortunately she came over. Otherwise, not only would they not obtain their objective, but if this darned girl complained, then wouldnt they [Wang Yiping and Mu YingRui] suffer a loss?

Thinking of this, Wang Yiping said softly to Mu YingRui, Laoye, speak gently to Youer. You have good intentions but with your temper, Youer would misunderstand. She winked at him.

Huh! Good intentions. It would be strange if you two have good intentions. One played a good person, one played a bad person. You think others are fools? I was deceived by your fake mothers tenderness. If Im deceived a second time, then I deserve to go to hell! But Ive been to that hell in my previous life. Its both of your turns to go there this lifetime.

Zi You coldly sneered to herself. She grabbed Wang Yipings arm and smiled; Only mother knows how to love me. Father only knows how to scold me. You dont have to worry. Youer knows propriety. Actually, I did not neglect needlework, Female Virtues or Female Disciplines. If father doesnt believe, he can test me. As to martial arts, I didnt run around with swords. I just followed grandfather to learn internal strength to strengthen my physical fitness so people wont gossip about it. The last time daughter was sick, it scared people. If people know that Great Yans Great General, whos the most powerful in martial arts, had a granddaughter with such a weak body, wouldnt the Generals Manor be a laughingstock?

Mu YingRui saw Wang Yipings wink and heard Zi Yous words. His heart couldnt help but jump. When he recalled that Zi Yous illness was caused by his and Wang Yipings poisoning, he guiltily lowered his head.

The earlier anger disappeared without a trace. He put on a fake smile and air of concern, Ah! Father is just like your mother. Im just afraid youll be absorbed with learning martial arts and neglect what girls should learn. Its better if girls are more gentle and quiet or how else would they get married? After the festival, the teacher your mother found would arrive. Dont disappoint me or your mother and learn etiquette properly.

Zi You answered without changing her expression, Yes, daughter will follow father and mothers teachings. If father and mother have nothing else, daughter will leave. She turned to leave.

Wang Yiping saw and she anxiously looked at Mu YingRui. He nodded and immediately tried to stop her, Dont be in a hurry. Father still has something to ask you.

Zi You knew they wanted to bring up the maidservant thing. The speech before was to give themselves an out so that she straightforwardly agree to what they want. When Zi You thought of how her own biological father faking and manipulating his words, she couldnt help but want to scold him. What father? He wasnt even a dog or a pig! To fulfill his and his womans wishes, he was willing to do all sorts of immoral things!

Zi Yous heart was filled with hatred but her face was expressionless. She faintly smiled with pure-like-water eyes causing the two to shamefully turn away.

Mu YingRui couldnt help but sweat a bit. His daughters eyes were terrifying. It seemed like they could see through everything.
