The weak prince's queen

Chu Xiyue was invited into the ancestral hall by the servants and knelt there. At this moment, she had calmed down and her thoughts gradually became clearer.

"Master, master, it's really hard to guard against him! Sure enough, he still uses those same old tricks." Chu Xiyue sneered.

At the same time, Mrs. Lin was supported by Mr. Lin back to the room and lay down on the bed.

"Lian'er, go slower and be careful." Master Lin said with concern.

"Master, I'm fine. Please don't punish Xue'er. She definitely didn't mean it." Mrs. Lin said gently.

"Lian'er, you are just too kind and always get wronged." Master Lin sighed helplessly.

"After all, they are not my biological children. I am afraid that beating or scolding them will hurt their feelings and what they might think. In fact, I treat all three children equally, and I am even better to Xue'er. Yun'er is jealous of this and often complains to me. In the final analysis, it is because I am not a good enough mother." Mrs. Lin continued, her tone full of self-blame and helplessness.

"I know everything. You've been tired. I'll take care of that evil creature. You should get some rest first." Master Lin patted Madam Lin's hand with a distressed look. Then he turned and walked out of the room, leaving Madam Lin sitting alone by the bed.

Mrs. Lin watched Master Lin leave, quickly wiped away the tears on her face with a handkerchief, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She turned to the maid Bijun beside her and said, "Hurry up and follow the master to see how he handles this matter."

Bijun nodded and hurriedly followed Master Lin out of the room.

At the same time, Chu Xiyue was copying the "Women's Rings" in her room in a messy manner. Her eyes were confused and her thoughts were erratic, as if she was in another world.

Suddenly, a loud noise shattered the silence of the room. The door was flung open with a harsh, grinding sound. Master Lin stormed in, his face filled with anger and disappointment.

"Look at this, what kind of nonsense is this? Does this look like the eldest daughter of the Lin family?" Master Lin angrily threw Chu Xiyue's copy of "The Rules for Women" to the ground and scolded her angrily. The papers scattered all over the floor, as if mocking Chu Xiyue's failure.

Chu Xiyue raised her head and looked at the Master Lin in front of her, a playful smile on her lips. She said slowly, "Oh, Master Lin, oh no, it's Father, please comfort the Madam."

"You... tell me, where have all your manners gone? Lian'er, although she's not your biological mother, she treated you like her own daughter and was devoted to you. Not only are you ungrateful, but you're also so treasonous." Master Lin's face turned ashen with rage. He pointed at Chu Xiyue with a trembling finger and shouted a rebuke. His voice echoed in the room, filled with endless anger and disappointment.

"Yes, yes, it's no use saying anything now. My father is convinced that I pushed her." Chu Xiyue stopped writing, raised her head, her eyes revealing disdain and stubbornness, and she retorted without showing any weakness.

Master Lin was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe. He widened his eyes and pointed at Chu Xiyue tremblingly: "You unfilial daughter! How dare you talk to me like that!"

Chu Xiyue sneered and continued to copy the women's ring, ignoring Master Lin's anger. She knew in her heart that no matter how she explained, Master Lin would not believe her.

Seeing this, Master Lin was furious. He slammed the table and shouted, "Kneel down!"

Chu Xiyue showed no fear at all. She raised her head and looked at Master Lin coldly: "Why do you want me to kneel?"

"You've committed such a big mistake, and you still dare to talk back?" Master Lin was so angry that his face turned blue. "I must teach you a lesson today!" As he said that, he raised his hand, ready to hit Chu Xiyue.

However, Chu Xiyue suddenly stood up, looked directly into Master Lin's eyes, and said loudly: "Father, you can hit me if you want, but please remember that I have a clear conscience for what happened today!"

Master Lin was startled by Chu Xiyue's aura, and his hand stopped in mid-air, not falling. He stared at Chu Xiyue for a long time, and finally sighed and put down his hand.

"Forget it, just continue copying the female precepts. I hope this will enlighten you." Master Lin shook his head helplessly, turned around and left the room.

Chu Xiyue looked at Master Lin's departing back, and a feeling of sadness welled up in her heart.

Although Chu Xiyue knew in her heart that these must be the ideas that Mrs. Lin had instilled in Mr. Lin in advance, she was too angry to care about so much now. She especially couldn't stand the way Mr. Lin defended Mrs. Lin.

"Miss, why are you doing this? If you just surrender, the master will definitely let you go back to your room." Dong'er said.

"No, wouldn't that mean I admitted that I pushed her? We must not compromise. This is a matter of principle." Chu Xiyue said firmly.

Bijun returned to Mrs. Lin's residence and told her everything.

"Very good, I know what to do next." Mrs. Lin said with a smile, her eyes looking into the distance.
