Chapter 536 Drag these two ignorant little bastards out!
The female teacher grabbed Yu Qiao'er's wrist and pointed at the crooked words on the paper and said sternly:
"What kind of writing is this? Even a dog can write more neatly than you!
Did you turn a deaf ear to all the teachings yesterday about women's virtues, words, appearance, and skills?"
Yu Qiaoer gasped in pain, her wrists were marked with red marks, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Before she could say anything, the ruler hit her palm with a "whoosh", and she cried out in pain.
"Girls from wealthy families walk with three-inch golden lotus feet and move slowly and gently. But when you were meeting the guests just now, your steps were even longer than those of men!"
The female teacher paced around her, banging the ruler on the table with every word she said: "How can you marry into a wealthy family if you don't know etiquette?"
Yu Qiao'er bit her lip and dared not say a word, the silver hairpin on her head swaying with her body.
Suddenly she saw the ruler coming towards her head. She turned her head away in fright. With a "click", the tassel of the hairpin was broken by the ruler, and the beads rolled all over the floor.
"You can't even learn the rules, and you still wear these jewels?" The lady sternly tore off her remaining jewelry and threw it all into her dressing box.
"I'll write "The Instructions for Women" ten times today!
If you slack off even a little, you will have to kneel down in the ancestral hall and copy the book a hundred times!"
Yu Qiao'er looked at the mess on the ground, her knees numb from kneeling, but she didn't even dare to cry out loud, for fear of incurring even more severe punishment.
Bai Wanwan sneered:
“Isn’t this too harsh?
It's just that I haven't learned the rules well enough, is it necessary to mobilize such a large force?"
The lady who was originally sitting upright on the rosewood chair suddenly stood up, her fingertips almost poking Bai Wanwan's nose:
"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak so arrogantly here!
Open your eyes and take a good look. This is a school in the Marquis's mansion to educate noble ladies, not a place in the market where you can act like a spoiled child!
You don't even understand the rules of hierarchy, do you really think the Marquis' Mansion is a place for you to do whatever you want?
I will immediately report to the Princess and have you expelled from the General's Mansion."
Bai Wanwan chuckled and said:
"What did you say? Dog eyes? What a respectable lady!
You're full of nonsense, but when you curse, you're even more eloquent than a street shrew! Do you think you're qualified to teach me the rules?
After learning a lot of knowledge, he first learned how to use vulgar language to humiliate noble ladies.
I think your title of "Mr." is gained through despicable means!
Do you want me to go to the princess and have a good talk with her about how the lady I hired with such a large sum of money sets an example for herself?"
The corners of the female teacher's lips were full of sarcasm and impatience: "Where did this yellow-haired girl come from? She talks about horse racing but has no idea how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."
She raised her hand and slowly smoothed the wrinkles on her cuffs:
"Have you thrown all the rules of the Princess's Mansion to the dogs? How dare you act wildly in front of me?
I want to see whether the princess will believe you, a wild girl who talks nonsense, or me, a female teacher who has taught her etiquette for twenty years."
She suddenly slammed the table so hard that the water in the teacup splashed out.
"Someone, come here! Drag these two ignorant little bastards out!
Who knows what kind of dog hole this filthy thing might have gotten in from. If you don't deal with it properly today, you're still thinking this is the women's courtyard of the Princess's Mansion and you're just letting it go!"
Bai Wanwan was grabbed by the arms by the maids, but she still struggled with her neck stiff, shouting at the top of her lungs, "How dare you touch him? This is the young master of the princess's family!"
The lady laughed so hard that she fell backwards and wiped her eyes with her handkerchief:
"Stop using these despicable tricks to bluff me! Do you think I've never seen the world?
You're causing trouble right under my nose, and even the gods can't save you!"
He turned around and shouted at the servant:
"Lock him in the woodshed! No water or food is allowed to be brought to him!
When you learn to kowtow and admit your mistakes, you will be released!"
When Bai Wanwan and Shen Tao were pushed into the woodshed, the door slammed shut with a bang.
The room was dark and stuffy, and the smell of mold mixed with hay dust went straight into my nose.
The corners of the wall were covered with spider webs, and a few rays of light came in through the broken window, casting swaying shadows on the rotten wood and broken clay pots piled all over the floor.
Shen Tao's eyes suddenly turned red, tears welling up in them: "What should we do? Are they really going to starve us to death here?"
He was so anxious that he paced back and forth in an area the size of a palm, raising a cloud of dust around his feet.
Bai Wanwan wasn't that panicked. She stretched her neck to look around and said, "It looks okay. Not that scary."
She patted her wrinkled clothes and asked, "What should I do now?"
"What should I do?" Shen Tao's voice was filled with tears.
"I left in a hurry today and didn't tell my men where I was going.
If my mother can't find us, we'll starve to death here!"
Bai Wanwan curled her lips and pointed at the haystack hanging on the beam and said:
"Don't worry about it, come and give me a hand.
Pull the hay down and spread it on the ground. I'm so sleepy, I want to take a nap first."
Shen Tao sniffed and reluctantly brought a lame wooden stool, then tiptoed to pull the hay down.
The two men shook off the bugs and dust from the hay and managed to make a place in the corner where they could barely lie down.
Bai Wanwan lay down on the hay, pulled up her sleeves to cover her eyes, and muttered, "Let's get some sleep first. There will always be a way out when we reach the mountain."
Shen Tao stood by and rubbed his hands anxiously, but seeing that Bai Wanwan had closed her eyes, he could only sigh and sit down by the side.
Shen Tao squatted beside the haystack, looking at Bai Wanwan's sleeping profile, scratched his messy hair, and muttered in a low voice:
"This little girl is so heartless.
If no one comes, we'll both rot here..."
As the night deepened, a slight noise suddenly came from outside the woodshed.
Naitang nimbly slipped through the crack of the door, swept its furry tail, and the milk cap following behind it landed steadily on the ground, with an oil-paper bag in its mouth.
As soon as Naigai put down the bundle, layers of oil paper spread out, and the aroma of roast chicken and the sweetness of osmanthus cake instantly filled the room.
Bai Wanwan smacked her lips and turned over, suddenly opening her eyes to meet Toffee's sparkling cat eyes. Then she glanced at her feet and saw the roasted chicken grease bubbling with steam...
"Shen Tao! Wake up!" Bai Wanwan kicked Shen Tao in the waist, her voice changing with joy: "Dinner is ready!"
Shen Tao raised his head in a daze and saw food scattered all over the floor. He pinched his thigh hard, rubbed his eyes, and stammered:
"W-What's going on? It's like a magic trick!
Bai Wanwan, how on earth did you do it?"
Naitang swung his tail proudly, jumped onto Shen Tao's shoulder, and patted his face gently with his paws.
"Ah...rat...rat! Help, help..." Shen Tao was so scared that he was trembling and hugged Bai Wanwan directly.
Bai Wanwan said speechlessly: "Are you afraid of mice? Don't strangle me. If you strangle me to death, you will starve to death too."
Shen Tao looked at her and said, "You're not afraid of mice! You... you're so awesome!"
Naitang had already climbed out the window. Bai Wanwan glared at him and said, "Do you want to eat it or not? If not, I'll eat it all."
