Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

How could he not fly into a rage?

Liu s.h.i.+mei said like father, like son, and that she was raised by Liu Fuyun. It was her fathers fault for not educating her. If he scolded her for not knowing propriety, righteousness, and shame, wouldnt he be scolding himself for not teaching her well?

However, facing Liu Fuyuns rage, Liu s.h.i.+meis expression was indifferent as he said, Father, dont be angry. Just like you said, if Liu Yaner didnt provoke me, I wouldnt have done anything to her!

She raised her chin slightly and met Liu Fuyuns eyes, which were filled with anger. However, she plotted to ruin my reputation and made me the laughing stock of the Capital City. 1 clearly had evidence, but Father believed her one-sided story and believed her instead of me. You rewarded her nad pushed me. This is the Liu familys overall situation. 1 will accept it! But Father

Her words were neither servile nor overbearing, and she spoke slowly. When she took a turn, her voice rose a little. I gave her the position of Crown Princess. I gave her the Lotus Courtyard, which I had lived in for 16 years. She actually wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h my jewelry, clothes, silks, and the things my mother left me!

She tilted her head slightly and sneered, Father doesnt care about this. Are all these etiquette, righteousness, and shame fed to the dogs?

Liu Fuyun had only said Dont you know propriety, righteousness, and shame?, but she had bombarded him with so many more words!

In front of her, his argument did not hold water!

No wonder it was said that a woman s lack of talent was virtue!

This proved how difficult it was to deal with well-read women!

Madam Zhang was also furious, but she was playing the role of the dignified and weak wife of the Grand Chancellor, so she naturally could not scold her in public. Therefore, she could only cry even louder. As she cried, she said, Yaner is a little willful, but you broke her leg. Arent you a little too cruel?

Ha! Liu s.h.i.+mei sneered, I broke her leg, but I havent taken her life yet! Youre calling this heartless? Then she drugged me and ruined my innocence. She even sent someone to place me in a pig cage to drown me! She attempted to kill me! What should I do? Madam, dont tell me you dont know what Liu Yaner did!

Madam Zhang held her breath.

After all, Liu s.h.i.+meis main target was not Madam Zhang. She was angry at Madam Zhang because she was acting blindly. Therefore, after she was done, she put her focus back on Liu Fuyun. If Liu Yaner becomes the Crown Prince Consort, she would study her zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting skills to defeat the other three, and stay in Lotus Yard instead of coming to me for trouble, would I have the chance to break her legs? Shes the one who caused her own injury. For the sake of the Grand Chancellors Residence and the Liu family, Ill endure it. But she went too far, pus.h.i.+ng me into the quagmire and even trying to sh*t on my head. How can I tolerate it?

Such words were really vulgar.

Liu Fuyun was even angrier. This old manThis old man cant tolerate an evil daughter like you!

His anger was within Liu s.h.i.+meis expectations.

it was unbecoming of her to behave this way. It was fine if a girl at home refused to follow her father, but she was also eloquent.

Not only was she eloquent, but she was also full of reason, making him, the Grand Chancellor who could argue with all the scholars in the court, speechless!

Who could tolerate this? Liu Fuyun was furious!

Bring me my ferule. Today, I wall teach this unfilial daughter again!

As the head of the civil officials, the Grand Chancellor had countless disciples. He was not a teacher, but he had a ferule.

This ferule was pa.s.sed down from generation to generation in the Liu family, only to the family head. To Liu Fuyun, it was equivalent to the treasured sword of a general. It was three feet nine inches long and three fingers wide.

Liu s.h.i.+mei had witnessed the power of that ferule since she was young. Of course, he did not use it on her, but on her brother.

The Grand Chancellor was very strict with his eldest son. If he did not meet his requirements, he would beat him with the ferule. Therefore, in Liu s.h.i.+meis memory, there were several times when her brother was beaten and could only go out after recuperating for at least seven or eight days!

Today, he was going to deal with her using this ferule!
