Chapter 16 Teaching the Fifth Sister

As Xiao Lingxiao expected, after returning to Xiao's house, the eldest lady tried her best to explain everything that happened in the Fali Temple to the old lady and Xiao Shuyong. After the matter passed, everything seemed to be calm, but when everyone left Xianglin's courtyard, the eyes of the old lady looking at Xiao Lingxiao were enough to tell her that this was just the beginning.

Xiao Lingxiao naturally knew that if she was not dead, the eldest lady would not stop. Rape by a dirty wild man is a great shame for any woman, and the eldest lady is so calm that Xiao Lingxiao has to admire this woman. Xiao Lingxiao couldn't help looking forward to it. She didn't know what the first lady would come up with to deal with herself next time.

Half a month later, a maid with a face came to Qingheyuan and said that the musician in the house was starting the class. Please ask Xiao Lingxiao to listen to it.

The Prime Minister's mansion specializes with musicians and dancers. In addition to preparing songs and dancing for various activities in the Prime Minister's mansion, these people are also responsible for teaching several young ladies. Except for Xiao Lingxiao, the four ladies in the house have been called by famous teachers. They are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they all have some proud skills. Only Xiao Lingxiao has never learned anything, and the dead Xiao Lingxiao doesn't even know much about words.

Now her identity as a young lady can't be ignored. Even the musician has to come to say hello specially when the class starts. This matter seemed logical, but Xiao Lingxiao felt that it was not necessarily so simple.

At the designated time, Xiao Lingxiao dressed neatly and brought Bao Ronger and two second-class maids to Fanghuazhai.

Fanghuazhai is a courtyard specially designed for young ladies to learn skills. There are singing rooms, dance rooms, piano rooms, chess rooms, etc. in the yard. Usually, few people come here, and it is only a little lively when classes start. The laughter of the women could be heard from afar, but when Xiao Lingxiao walked to the door of the piano room, the smiles on everyone's faces suddenly disappeared.

There are several exquisite mahogany tables and chairs in the piano room. There is a guqin on each table, and there are several piano racks in the distance, on which there are various musical instruments. The musician in his early thirties seemed to be busy preparing something in the distance. The rest of the room were women. The four ladies sat around a table, and the maids stood behind them.

Seeing Xiao Lingxiao coming in, the maids immediately dispersed and stood in the distance. The two second-class maids brought by Xiao Lingxiao also learned to walk to the wall and stand, and only Bao Ronger was still with Xiao Lingxiao's side.

At this time, I heard a person sitting at the table open his mouth and sneered, "Yo, there is really someone who has never seen the world and doesn't understand what the scene is. The servants will come with a word, and they don't want to think how annoying they are? People who have entered the coffin are full of bad luck. Besides, they have been married once. What else can they learn to play the piano? Isn't it still waiting for someone to come and get married? What a daydream. Humph."

Xiao Lingxiao turned his head and looked over and saw that the speaker was the daughter of the eighth aunt, Miss Xiao Zelu. The eighth aunt is an actor and is very tall. Although Xiao Zelu is only 11 years old, she is also a beautiful girl. When Xiao Lingxiao saw her talking, she subconsciously approached Xiao Huanyu, and knew that she must have been instigated by Xiao Huanyu.

Xiao Zelu was all about flattering the eldest lady, so that she could find a good marriage for herself in the future. Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue were sure of this and played a trick on her. In the past, she was asked to catch mice and toads and throw them into Xiao Lingxiao's yard, and she did it all. Xiao Lingxiao knew that Xiao Huanyu must be worried about what happened in Fali Temple. The last time he sent a poisonous snake, but he didn't take advantage of it. It seemed that they were learning to be smart this time. They specially asked Xiao Lingxiao to come here and let Xiao Ze show his head and say a few harsh words to vent his anger instead of them.

Looking at Xiao Zelu's proud face after saying those words, Xiao Lingxiao slowly walked to her and hooked his fingers at her.

Xiao Zelu was stunned at first, and then stood up. She felt that although Xiao Lingxiao had regained his identity as a young lady, she did not dare to do anything to her in front of people, so she hugged her shoulder and stared, put on an arrogant look and sneered, "It seems that you are used to being dumb. What's wrong? I won't say..."

Before he finished a sentence, Xiao Lingxiao raised his hand and slapped her fiercely. The slap was very loud, which made Xiao Zelu fall to the ground, and a bright red fingerprint suddenly appeared on her pretty face.

The crisp sound shocked everyone in the room, but Xiao Lingxiao slowly flattened his sleeves as if he had nothing to do. He said coldly to Xiao Zelu, who covered his face and lay on the ground, who had not yet realized what was going on, "Five sister, as the Xiao family, remember that you can't talk nonsense. My marriage was given by the emperor and cancelled by the emperor's decree. Where did I say that I had married someone once? If this word is spread by some unknown slave, won't it ruin the reputation of the Xiao family? The musician told me at the beginning of the class that I should come even out of respect for the musician. The fifth sister is different from me. She should have learned poetry and etiquette since she was a child. Don't you even understand this basic etiquette? As for whether I am unlucky or not, even the old lady and father and mother didn't say anything. With your status as a concubine, what right do you have to talk nonsense? Fifth sister, as the eldest sister, I'll teach you this time. Don't let me teach you again. Do you understand?"

Xiao Lingxiao's voice was as piercing. When she finished these words, everyone in the room couldn't help shivering.

Xiao Zelu lay there in a daze and recovered for a long time. She felt the hot pain on her cheeks, and tears immediately rolled down. She suddenly thought of something. She got up from the ground, covered her face with one hand, grabbed Xiao Huanyu's sleeve with the other, and shook, "Second sister! Second sister, you saw it, she hit me!"

Xiao Huanyu's little face turned red at this time. The woman who was riding under them and crawled all over the yard now actually stood here awe-inspiringly and scolded people. The empty-manner look made me feel angry! Xiao Huan stood up and pointed to Xiao Lingxiao and said angrily, "Xiao Lingxiao! How can you suddenly hit someone!"

Xiao Lingxiao smiled when he heard the words, "What? My fifth sister made a mistake. As an elder sister, shouldn't I discipline her? By the way, in the Fali Temple that day, my second sister was kidnapped and hasn't returned for half a night. I haven't had time to greet you. The second sister will go to her sister's place when she is free another day, and also tell her sister what happened that night.

As soon as Xiao Huanyu heard this, his face suddenly turned pale. Before she could react, Xiao Huanxue, who was sitting on the other side, stood up with a black face and said to the musician standing in the distance, "Mr. Li, the tailor invited by my mother should arrive. My second sister and I will leave first." After saying that, she came to pull Xiao Huanyu, looked at Xiao Lingxiao coldly, and whispered, "Don't bully people too much."

Xiao Lingxiao snorted coldly, which is too much to deceive people? I'm afraid that I will bully people too much, so don't provoke me!

Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue left in a hurry. Xiao Zelu, who was slapped by Xiao Lingxiao, lost her backbone and cried and left. The remaining Xiao Zechun had no intention of leaving. She got up and smiled at Xiao Lingxiao and said, "I didn't have a chance to salute the eldest sister before. Please don't blame the fourth sister."

This Xiao Zechun is the daughter of the third aunt. Compared with the other three ladies, she is not outstanding, but Xiao Lingxiao knows that the third aunt is the daughter of Ji Mengshan, the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. She grew up in the deep house compound and was very scheming. Xiao Zechun has such a biological mother, and her city must be very deep. At the beginning, Xiao Lingxiao was so depressed and bullied by others, but only Xiao Zechun watched the fire across the shore and never bullied her.

The two had no contact. Xiao Lingxiao just returned the gift and did not talk much with her.

The musician in the house naturally knew what had happened to the young lady, so he taught her music theory from the beginning. As a result, Xiao Lingxiao quickly found that several strings with ponytails seemed to be more difficult for her than knives and guns. After struggling for two hours, the musician had to shake his head and tell Xiao Lingxiao that she probably didn't have this talent.

Xiao Lingxiao didn't care much about this, but Xiao Zechun seemed to stop talking. The two of them were still a little estranged, so they didn't say anything else before parting.

When Xiao Lingxiao returned to Qingheyuan from Fanghuazhai, as soon as he entered the room, he saw Xiao Fengming and Xiao Ranjun drinking tea around the table. They didn't know what they were talking about. They chatted passionately. When they saw Xiao Lingxiao coming in, they hurriedly stopped the topic and stood up to greet him. Xiao Fengming quietly grabbed Xiao Lingxiao's hand and pulled her to the table and sat down.

After returning from Fali Temple, Xiao Fengming still ran to the Qinghe Courtyard as before. From time to time, he brought some interesting gadgets to Xiao Lingxiao to relieve his boredom, or simply just met and said a few words and left. Xiao Lingxiao couldn't see through the teenager's thoughts. For a long time, Xiao Lingxiao felt that what he said that night was probably just a joke, and he could just treat him as his real brother.

After the three of them sat down, Xiao Ranjun said first, "Yong Xiao, have you heard that the fourth prince went to the emperor to ask for marriage again."

Xiao Lingxiao frowned when he heard the words, thinking that the fourth prince was really an invincible cockroach. "Why didn't the emperor get angry with him?"

"The fourth prince is naturally measured." Xiao Fengming said, "Li Jing'an is very good at being a man. He is smooth and exquisite. No matter what happens, he has to be taken care of in the end. His biological mother's status is low. After the death of the concubine, the seventh and eighth princes adopted by the imperial concubine also died one after another. The Han family, the mother of the imperial concubine, is strong, but there are no children under the knees. In order to show his favor, the emperor put the fourth prince to the imperial concubine as an adopted son. The fourth prince's knowledge and martial arts skills were appreciated by the emperor, so the imperial concubine and the Han family also put their hopes on him. With the support of so many people, he is naturally arrogant when he does things.

Xiao Ranjun nodded, "With the current momentum of the fourth prince, if we get the support of our Xiao family again, the throne will be stable. But his father doesn't seem to be optimistic about him..." Saying this, Xiao Ranjun came to Xiao Lingxiao and said in a low voice, "Yingxiao, there is one more thing that you probably don't know..."
