The little princess was torn, and the demon emperor patched her up

Chapter 64 The consequences of disobedience
Xiao Baojing quietly rolled his eyes and imitated Xiao Nanjia's tone in a sarcastic way: "'From childhood to adulthood, I have always been the best student in the Imperial College and the best archer.'~~"

This guy is dressed weirdly!
Sensing the cold gaze from Xiao Nanjia, Xiao Baojing shrank his neck timidly: "I didn't say anything!"

Xiao Nanjia gave her a glare, and her voice was colder than the winter wind and frost: "Little devil, you'd better pray that you don't fall into my hands, otherwise, I will never let you go."

She turned away with a cold face.

There was a chuckle from the side.

Xiao Baojing looked over and saw that it was Lu Yu'an.

Lu Yu'an walked forward and asked gently, "Did she scare you?"

Xiao Baojing was curious: "Mr. Lu, do you know the Fourth Princess?"

"I am her personal bodyguard."

Xiao Baojing opened his eyes wide: "Personal bodyguard? The kind that follows her and protects her day and night?"

Lu Yu'an nodded with a smile: "I live in her shadow."

Xiao Baojing understood this sentence to mean that Lu Yu'an and Xiao Nanjia were inseparable.

"She..." Lu Yu'an looked at Xiao Nanjia's departing back, his face filled with tenderness, like melting spring water, "Your Highness rarely talks so much to others."

Xiao Baojing: Xiao Nanjia has a sour face all day long, who dares to talk to her?

Lu Yu'an stared at Xiao Nanjia from afar: "Girls of the same age in Yejing respect her, but are also afraid of her. Her mother doesn't like her, and her sisters hate her for being so strict and cautious. Your Highness is very lonely."

Xiao Baojing: Xiao Nanjia is obviously the kind of good student in the class who would tell tales to the teacher, so of course he is not popular!

Lu Yu'an suddenly looked at Xiao Baojing: "I think His Highness must be very happy when he talks to you."

Xiao Baojing: Not really!

When Xiao Nanjia talked to her, his eyes almost popped out!
What are you happy about!

Lu Yu'an said sincerely: "If Miss Xiao doesn't mind, can you spend more time with His Highness?"

Xiao Baojing: She is a monster, she will be killed by Xiao Nanjia!
Facing the tall and handsome young man with a face full of expectation, Xiao Baojing gritted his teeth and said, "If I hadn't died in her hands, I would have been willing to spend more time talking to her..."

...

Dusk.

Xiao Baojing returned to the Zhu family in a carriage and was called to the Chuihua Hall for questioning.

The word "dignity" was written on Zhu's father's wooden face: "What did you learn in the academy today?"

Xiao Baojing: Ah?
Isn't it following the plot of "Butterfly Lovers"?
Why do you have to ask her such detailed questions?
She spent the whole day thinking about love, so how could she have time to care about what the teacher taught her?

When Zhu's father saw that she didn't say anything, the expression on his face instantly turned into "furious": "Evil creature, why don't you kneel down?! I spent so much money on entertaining and giving gifts, did I just send you to the academy to have fun?!"

Xiao Baojing: She thought she was going to the academy to fall in love with Liang Shanbo!

According to the plot line, she did nothing wrong!

Seeing that Father Zhu was slamming the table, Xiao Baojing could only kneel down unwillingly: "Daddy, I was wrong!"

The word "heartache" flashed across Zhu's mother's wooden face, and she said softly, "It's the first day, so it's normal for you to feel uncomfortable in the academy. Did Yingtai make any good friends today?"

Zhu's father waved his hands and yelled, "I asked her to study, not to make friends!"

Xiao Baojing was a little disgusted with this old man, and deliberately sang a different tune: "I know Liang Shanbo!"

"Liang Shanbo?!" Confusion was written on Zhu's father's face. "What is his family background like? What official rank did his father hold?"

Xiao Baojing: "I was born in a humble family and my father is dead."

"What?!" The expression on Zhu's father's face suddenly turned into "incomparable anger" and he slammed the table. "You are not allowed to associate with people of humble origins! You are not allowed to associate with people whose fathers or mothers have died! You are not allowed to associate with people who are not good at studying! You are not allowed to associate with people who are ugly! No, absolutely no!"

"Don't be angry, my husband!" Mother Zhu comforted him and turned to Xiao Baojing, "Don't you know anyone else?"

Xiao Baojing knew what they wanted to hear.

She said lazily, "I also met Xiao Nanjia."

Zhu's father asked quickly, "What is her family background? What official rank is her father?" "Her father is the county governor."

The expression on Zhu's father's face instantly changed to "happy". He clapped his hands and laughed, "The county governor is great! You should be good friends with the county governor's daughter!"

"But," Xiao Baojing observed him, "she is not good at studying, and her appearance should be considered ugly in your eyes. Didn't you say that I can't make friends with such people?"

“So what?” Zhu’s father swung his wide sleeves nonchalantly. “Her father is the county magistrate. That’s enough! The rest is not important, not important! Hahahaha, my daughter is really good. She made friends with the county magistrate’s daughter on the first day! It’s all because of my good teaching! Hahahahaha!”

Xiao Baojing: This old man changes his expression so quickly!

...

The weather is not very good tonight. The night sky is gloomy and there are few stars.

Xiao Baojing quietly left the boudoir holding a hemp rope.

Zhu Jia was bored, so she planned to climb over the wall to find the peddler and see what was going on over there.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I suddenly heard a noise in front of me, and I could vaguely see a crowd of people in the firelight.

Xiao Baojing walked over and saw that several maids and servants were holding down a middle-aged woman.

The woman's clothes were torn to shreds, and she cried bitterly: "I just wanted to use the money to treat my daughter's illness. What have I done wrong?! This is my money, it's my money!"

Xiao Baojing saw Tong'er also here to watch the fun, and quickly pulled her sleeve: "What happened?"

"Miss! This woman is the cook of our Zhu family. Her daughter is sick and needs some money. She is dishonest and went to the accounting office to steal money tonight. She was discovered and was beaten."

"Didn't she say that it was originally her money?"

"The rule in our mansion is to withhold two years' wages. The wages from the year before last and last year have not been paid to us yet. She asked the steward two days ago, and the steward told her that she couldn't make an exception and give her the wages, otherwise it would be breaking the rules. But she still didn't give up and actually stole the money in the middle of the night! How abominable!"

"But it was her money, how could it be stolen?"

"That won't work. Rules are rules. We can't break them."

"But her daughter has no money to treat her illness and will die."

"But you can't break the rules!"

Xiao Baojing was silent.

The woman's husband rushed into the crowd and suddenly slapped her hard.

The word "shame" was written on his wooden face, and he waved his arms and accused, "How abominable! Why did I marry a woman like you who doesn't know the rules? You have disgraced me!"

The woman covered her beaten face.

Tears rolled down her face, and she murmured, "Xiaobao is still waiting for treatment, I just want to get my wages back, how can it be considered stealing? How can it be considered not knowing the rules?"

She suddenly screamed at the crowd with tears in her eyes: "I am not wrong! You are wrong! You are wrong!"

Her wooden face suddenly turned back into a normal human face.

Suddenly there was a cry of surprise from the crowd: "Wow, she is different from us, she is so ugly!"

"Kill her, kill her!"

They rushed over with their arms raised and shouting, treating the woman as an alien and beating her to vent their anger.

Her head was pulled off.

Blood spurts.

The words "sad but secretly happy" were carved on her husband's wooden face. He shouted excitedly, "Dad, Mom, bring us some steamed buns! Don't you have lung disease? It is said that blood-soaked steamed buns can cure lung diseases such as coughing and asthma. Let's dip the steamed buns in the blood and eat them!"

They scrambled to eat the blood-stained buns.

The woman's head was thrown next to Xiao Baojing's embroidered shoes.

Tong'er advised earnestly: "Miss, do you see? This is the result of being disobedient and ignorant of the rules. From now on, you must never disobey the master and the mistress again!"
