Traveled through time and became the darling of the whole family

Madam Ling put Ling Bingqing under house arrest. Ling Bingqing was really bored, so she asked someone to send invitations to Ye Ziyu, Ye Qingyin and Liu Zhizhi.

Ye Ziyu's foot injury had not healed yet, so Ye Qingyin accompanied Ye Ziyu to relieve her boredom. Liu Zhizhi was busy with orders, so no one could keep the appointment.

"What?! No one is available?" After receiving replies from the three families, Zhenzhu reported to Ling Bingqing.

"Yes." Pearl nodded. "Miss, you'd better copy it quickly. It's been a few days and you haven't written a single word. What if Madam comes to check?"

"Oh, what I hate most is writing and copying books. My mother has locked me up for several days. I'm almost suffocated." Ling Bingqing lay on the bed with his chin supported.

"What should we do?"

"How about Zhenzhu, can you help me copy it?" Ling Bingqing's eyes rolled.

"Miss, Madam will know who wrote it as soon as she sees the handwriting." Pearl said.

"What should I do? I really don't want to copy."

"You have to copy even if you don't want to." When Tao Ling arrived at Ling Bingqing's yard, she heard Ling Bingqing wailing.

"Mom, you also know that what your daughter hates most is writing and copying books. How about you change the punishment?" Ling Bingqing said.

"Instead of punishing you for the thing that annoys you the most, should I punish you for the thing that you like?"

"Yeah."

"What's good about it? It's because you didn't copy the Women's Classics carefully and didn't remember those things in your mind, so you acted recklessly again and again. Don't you feel bored and invite other girls? I tell you, if you don't finish copying the Women's Classics ten times, you can't leave this courtyard and no one else can come in." After saying this, Tao Ling got up and left.

Not long after Tao Ling left, Ling Sichen came.

"Hey, brother."

"Stop, don't expect me to help you." Ling Sichen said, "But Aqing, you really went too far this time. Look how you pissed off mother. She hasn't had a good meal in the past few days."

"Oh, I really know I was wrong. I hadn't drunk for a long time that day, and I drank too much and got drunk. But they and I are friends, so it's safe."

"Bah, what kind of bad friends are you? You are a woman and they are men. You can't spend the night together. Do you still want to keep your reputation?"

"But I was dressed like a man when I drank that day. In the eyes of outsiders, it was just men drinking together."

"That's in the eyes of people who don't know you, but what about in the eyes of people who know you? Brother knows that you love to play and that you think doing some embroidery in the mansion is too boring. You see, in the past, although mother said she didn't like it, she never restricted you from going out to play or making friends with. But what about you..." Ling Sichen said.

"In fact, deep down, you still think you did nothing wrong this time, and that your mother shouldn't punish you, or that your mother didn't really want to punish you, so you don't really regret it at all, and you think that maybe it will get over if you delay it."

Ling Bingqing's thoughts were revealed, so she said nothing and just sat there in silence.

"Think about it carefully." Ling Sichen said and left.

Ling Bingqing was lying on the bed. After seeing Ling Sichen leave, Zhenzhu walked in and said, "Miss."

"Zhenzhu, am I really wrong this time?" Ling Bingqing turned to look at Zhenzhu, tears welling up in her eyes.

Ling Bingqing had always envied boys since she was a child. They were all children of the same age, and boys could play freely, rolling in the mud, and no one would blame them even if they fought. But she could not do that. She could only sit next to Tao Ling obediently, or learn embroidery, but she didn't like these.

When she grew up, Ling Bingqing once secretly ran away to play with those little boys. She calculated the time, and even though she was still not satisfied, she had to run back home and let Zhenzhu help her fetch water and wash herself. Then she became a clean and well-behaved girl again.

After sneaking out to play for a while, Ling Bingqing was finally caught by Tao Ling. That day, Ling Bingqing was also made to kneel in the front hall, but Tao Ling was sitting in the upper seat to give instructions, while Master Ling and Ling Sichen were there to help Ling Bingqing speak. So in the end, Tao Ling only punished Ling Bingqing by making her kneel in the ancestral hall for half an hour, and there was no other punishment.

After that experience, Ling Bingqing felt that if she was discovered she would just have to kneel in the ancestral hall for half an hour, which was not a punishment for her. She became even more unscrupulous and played like a man, practicing martial arts and hanging out with those boys. Even when Tao Ling knew about it, she would only give her a few words of advice and tell her not to play with boys next time.

This time, when she woke up the next day, she found that she had been drunk the day before and had not returned home all night. Although she knew that she would be scolded again if Tao Ling found out after she returned, she felt that since the man was drinking and chatting with his friends and spending the night outside, why couldn't she do the same?

So when Tao Ling found her on her way home, she wasn't particularly scared.

When Tao Ling was disciplining her, she was still arguing. She knew that Tao Ling would punish her when he was very angry, but she just didn't expect that it would be copying books and house arrest. But it didn't matter. She could sneak away from the house arrest, and the copying books could be delayed.

But these days she found that there were people guarding everywhere around her yard and she couldn't run away at all. So she thought she should just wait until her mother's anger subsided and still didn't want to copy the books.

Today, Tao Ling came over. When she saw Tao Ling, her first reaction was that Tao Ling seemed to have lost some weight, but she kept thinking about how to act coquettishly and convince Tao Ling to lift the house arrest and exempt her from copying books.

But this time, Tao Ling seemed determined to punish her. Ling Bingqing lamented, thinking about either asking Ling Sichen or her father for help. Just when she thought of this, Ling Sichen came. Ling Bingqing was very surprised when she saw Ling Sichen. As long as Ling Sichen could say some good words for her and coax Tao Ling, the matter would be over.

But Ling Sichen had no intention of helping Ling Bingqing this time. Instead, he came to tell her that she had really done something wrong this time.

Pearl lowered her head, "Miss."

"Just tell the truth." Ling Bingqing said.

"I'm afraid the young lady has really hurt Madam's feelings this time," said Pearl.

"But why can't we be as free as men? It would be great if I were born a boy." Ling Bingqing sighed.

Ling Bingqing: But that’s impossible.

"Prepare paper and ink." Ling Bingqing said, then got up from the bed, put on her shoes and walked to the desk.

"Yes."

In Ling Bingqing's heart, she still didn't think she had done anything wrong, but she knew that in the minds of her mother and brother, or in the minds of everyone, her behavior was wrong, and she had to remember this wrong behavior and never do it again next time.

Ling Bingqing copied it obediently.

"Why hasn't the master gone to see Miss Ye these days?" Mo Yu was standing on the tree, watching Fang Jingxiu in the study.

"Whether the master goes to look for Miss Ye or not has nothing to do with you."

"Tsk, the master used to inexplicably climb over Miss Ye's window, making us stand guard like thieves, but he has returned to his old ways in the past few days. Isn't that strange?"

"Now that I think about it, it is a bit..." Mo Liang nodded.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Hiss!!!" (Mo Yu and Mo Liang said at the same time.)

"Sister Qing, don't you know it hurts when you hit someone?" Mo Liang touched his head.

"Mo Qing, why did you hit me?!" Mo Yu said angrily.

"I'm saving you." Mo Qing said coldly.

"What do you mean by save me? You obviously just want to hit me." Mo Yu gritted his teeth.

Mo Qing glanced at him and said, "Discussing the master's affairs in private, what do you think?"

"The master can't hear it again." Mo Yu said.

"Mo Yu will be given twenty lashes of the cane and Mo Liang will be given ten lashes of the cane. Go and receive the punishment yourselves." Fang Jingxiu said.

Mo Yu:!!!

Mo Liang: ???

"No, can the master really hear it?" Mo Yu said in a crying voice.

Mo Qing looked at Mo Yu as if he was a fool.

"That's not why I want it too. It was Brother Yu who brought it up." Mo Liang said worriedly.

"You can only blame yourself for being too close to him and talking to him." Mo Qing said.

After Mo Yu and Mo Liang went to receive their punishment, Mo Qing jumped down from the tree and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Mo Qing pushed the door open and walked in.

"Master, Miss Ye San has stayed in the mansion these days and has not gone out."

"She is so honest? She stays in the mansion."

"It's Miss Ye. Miss Ye San wanted to go out on the third day, but Miss Ye didn't allow it. She went to Miss Ye San's room every day to accompany her and entertain her."

Fang Jingxiu raised the corner of his mouth, "I was wondering with her personality, how could she stay in the mansion so obediently? But with her luck in getting into trouble, it's better for her to stay. This way her leg will heal faster."

Mo Qing didn't say anything, but lowered his head and waited for Fang Jingxiu's instructions.

"Go down." Fang Jingxiu waved his hand, and Mo Qing saluted and left.
