Xie Jia shouted excitedly and was about to stand up, but Chen Fang held her shoulders and pushed her back.

"You have to accept it even if you don't want it!" Chen Fang's face turned pale. She immediately asked someone to call two maids over. "Send the young lady back and watch her copy! If she doesn't copy, don't give her any food!"

"mother--"

Xie Jia's face changed drastically. She wanted to act like a spoiled child and beg for mercy, but was interrupted by Chen Fang coldly: "If you still consider me your mother, then just copy the books obediently. Otherwise, when your father comes back, I will let him take care of you personally!"

Seeing her ugly face, Xie Jia was really scared.

She frantically hugged Chen Fang's legs, raised her little face and pleaded pitifully: "Mother, I know I was wrong, please forgive me, I really know I was wrong!"

In the past, Chen Fang would not have been able to bear such a plea and would have agreed out of pity.

But it's different now.

Xie Xiu, who had been missing for eleven years, suddenly showed up, and Xie Yun was sent by Emperor Taihe to personally confirm it.

Now, there are countless eyes outside staring at the Xie family, laughing at the joke of their whole family.

Xie Jia still looked ignorant of the immensity of the world and acted without any scruples.

If she doesn't harden her heart and teach Xie Jia the rules, and lets her continue to act lawless, who knows how much trouble this girl can cause her?

If Xie Jia's words today were to get out, Chen Fang would become a laughing stock in the entire capital, and Xie Jia would never be able to find a good marriage in the future!

Even her two sons, whom she had high hopes for, would have difficulty finding marriages in the future.

How could Chen Fang dare to continue to indulge Xie Jia?

No matter how much she loves her daughter, she can't let Xie Jia ruin her own and her two brothers' future!

Chen Fang sighed secretly in her heart and reached out to pull Xie Jia up.

Xie Jia thought she had given in, and was secretly delighted, but then she heard Chen Fang say, "Jia'er, you must remember that everything your mother did was for you.

You are my only biological daughter. If I don't love you, who else can I love? But you are grown up now. If you don't learn the rules, how will you get married in the future?

You hit Xie You today. When your father comes back, she will definitely find a way to complain to him. Think about your father's temper. If he knew what you did and what you said, how do you think he would punish you? "

Xie Jia felt particularly aggrieved: "But I didn't do it on purpose, and I already know I was wrong! It was clearly Xie You who took the whip on purpose, so why did Daddy punish me?"

Chen Fang was originally very distressed about her daughter, but when Xie Jia asked her this, she became angry.

So she angrily scolded: "Just because Xie You got whipped by you, and nothing happened to you! Listen to your mother's words and go back to copy the "Book of Filial Piety" and "Precepts for Women" carefully!

When your father comes back and sees the scriptures you copied, there will naturally be no reason to punish you. Do you want to go back and copy the books now, or do you want to wait for your father to come back and punish you to kneel in the ancestral hall and copy the books?"

Xie Jia pouted in frustration.

She didn't want to choose any of them, but she also knew that she had to choose now. So she could only choose and go back to copy books, thinking about how to deal with the two old women after returning!

As long as she could shut those two up and stop them from talking nonsense in front of her mother, she could ask the secretary to help her copy the books.

Thinking of this, Xie Jia finally stopped making a fuss, lowered her head and said obediently: "Mom, I know I was wrong. I will go back and copy the book now."

Chen Fang looked at her suspiciously. Although she didn't quite believe she was admitting her mistake so obediently, she nodded at her obedient appearance. "Go ahead, copy the book well, and stop messing around."

"Yes, my daughter will remember it."

Xie Jia nodded obediently, said goodbye to Chen Fang, then knelt down and bowed, and retreated obediently.

Two old women followed behind her, but Xie Jia didn't say anything and pretended not to see them.

Only after returning to her own courtyard and entering her room did she suddenly pull out a dagger and put it directly to her delicate neck: "Shishu, come and help me copy the book! And you two, just watch me! If anyone dares to go out and say something nonsense, I will die in front of you immediately!"
