Chapter 216 Bringing humiliation to oneself
Chapter 216 Bringing humiliation to oneself
"Big sister is really so grand. The Yongchang Marquis's Mansion is not enough for big sister to show off her power, and you have to trouble me to come to my elementary school and work hard."
Xie Miaorong's gaze was somewhat evasive.
First of all, Gu Jin is a thorn in the side, and going against her is like confronting a rock head-on.
Secondly, even Concubine Wan now has to rely on Xie Ran, and Xie Ran has a special liking for Gu Jin, so she doesn't want to confront Gu Jin.
"I don't have anything else to do. I just thought that this school is also the property of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion. I don't want it to be affected by outsiders. That's why I came to take a look. Since there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Xie Miaorong stood up and was about to leave, but Gu Jin refused to let her go.
Gu Jin lifted Amber's chin and looked closely at her swollen cheeks.
"Young Madam..." Amber looked at Gu Jin with tears in her eyes, as if she had met her backbone. Her pitiful eyes seemed to want to say something but could not.
If she didn't know that the person standing opposite Amber was Gu Jin, she would probably have thought that she was flirting with some young man.
"How did your face get beaten like this?" Gu Jin made a "tsk" sound and frowned to himself.
Xie Miaorong hurriedly explained: "It's because you, a maid, are too unruly, so I'm helping you to discipline her."
Gu Jin didn't listen to Xie Miaorong at all, and just asked, "Who hit you?"
Amber raised her finger and pointed at Feiyan who was standing behind Xie Miaorong, and said angrily: "Madam, it's her!"
Although Feiyan was a little afraid of Gu Jin, she had become a little carried away since Xie Miaorong was canonized as Princess Heng. She felt that her status had risen and that one day she might even become the prince's concubine or even a higher level.
So now when facing Amber, she couldn't help but be a little arrogant, "So what if I hit you!
Who told you to be disrespectful to your master? I am being very kind by giving you a slap in the face. If it were you in the royal family, you would have been killed long ago!"
"What a sharp tongue you have!" Gu Jin sneered and curled his lips, saying lightly: "Ebony."
Wu Mu understood what he meant, and before Fei Yan could react, he rushed to Fei Yan and slapped him twice.
Wu Mu is a martial artist, so her strength is naturally not comparable to Fei Yan's.
After two slaps, Feiyan felt dizzy, her body tilted and she fell heavily to the ground, grimacing in pain and screaming.
Xie Miaorong felt humiliated when she saw this, and angrily asked, "Gu Jin, how dare you hit my people!"
Gu Jin smiled lightly, "In the words of my elder sister, she is just a lowly maid. Can't I beat her up?"
Xie Miaorong was so angry that she couldn't speak. Gu Jin said coldly: "What's more, Hubo has escaped from slavery now. Big sister, even if you are the daughter of the Marquis's family, you have no right to punish a decent girl at will.
As for what you just said about the school being the property of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion, Xie Ran still dares not interfere in the school's affairs, so as a cousin from another room, you should not interfere in the affairs of the school!"
Xie Miaorong heard this and said in a sharp voice: "Gu Jin, do you still have the husband's authority and family rules in your eyes? A married woman should obey her husband, so your things should naturally belong to my third brother!"
Gu Jin seemed to have heard something extremely funny, and there was an indescribable irony in his tone.
"You spend the whole day complaining about how you are bound by your female body, and that you would have accomplished great things otherwise, but what have you done in the end?
You take your husband as your heaven and covet power and wealth. Even if you are a man, you are short-sighted and narrow-minded!" Gu Jin couldn't stand her behavior for a long time, and today he took this opportunity to say everything that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
"Feng Qi could have become the envied Princess Yu, but she had her own ideals and pursuits, and she did not belittle herself just because she was a girl.
There are heroines like Princess Anguo in this world, and there are countless women who have overcome their fate. Regardless of their status, they are all noble. On the contrary, you always claim to be noble, but you are self-degrading and do things that make people despise you.
If you want to put your husband first, then just do it behind closed doors. Don't impose your man-fawning and woman-hating face on others!"
Gu Jin's words were merciless, and Xie Miaorong felt as if she had been stripped naked, filled with shame and anger.
How could Gu Jin say that to her!
In terms of talent and knowledge, she is not necessarily worse than Jiang Fengqi, but as women, they can only take care of their husbands, raise children and manage the backyard. What's wrong with her saying that!
Seeing that Gu Jin was angry, Jiang Fengqi stepped forward and gently brushed her back, and said calmly and gently: "Ah Jin, don't get angry because of me."
She looked at Xie Miaorong calmly, her tone like the gurgling of a stream, "Miss Xie, you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish? Imperial power and wealth are what you want, but not what I want.
Men can enter the government to help alleviate the suffering of the people, and I can also educate students in this school. Women are born no worse than men. If women have the same fair opportunities as men, we can also hold up the sky. "
So she is willing to use all she has learned throughout her life to teach those girls the way of sages, so that they will have the courage to fight against this unfair world.
Jiang Fengqi's eyes were cold, and even her plain clothes and wooden hairpin could not hide her elegance. "You may not understand, but as a lady from a famous family, you should learn what respect is."
Gu Jin and Jiang Fengqi were one as fierce as fire and the other as cold as frost, and Xie Miaorong was completely embarrassed.
She originally wanted to ridicule the down-and-out Jiang Fengqi, but ended up humiliating herself.
"Okay... I want to see how long you can be so proud of yourself!" Xie Miaorong couldn't stay any longer and left with her sleeves swung.
Gu Jin hid her sharp eyes, she didn't know how long she could be proud of herself, but she knew Xie Miaorong would soon be unable to laugh.
