Chapter 51: Enraged
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
How could he not fly into a rage?
Liu s.h.i.+mei said ‘like father, like son’, and that she was raised by Liu Fuyun. It was her father’s fault for not educating her. If he scolded her for not knowing propriety, righteousness, and shame, wouldn’t he be scolding himself for not teaching her well?
However, facing Liu Fuyun’s rage, Liu s.h.i.+mei’s expression was indifferent as he said, “Father, don’t be angry. Just like you said, if Liu Yan’er didn’t provoke me, I wouldn’t have done anything to her!”
She raised her chin slightly and met Liu Fuyun’s eyes, which were filled with anger. “However, she plotted to ruin my reputation and made me the laughing stock of the Capital City. 1 clearly had evidence, but Father believed her one-sided story and believed her instead of me. You rewarded her nad pushed me. This is the Liu family’s overall situation. 1 will accept it! But Father—”
Her words were neither servile nor overbearing, and she spoke slowly. When she took a turn, her voice rose a little. “I gave her the position of Crown Princess. I gave her the Lotus Courtyard, which I had lived in for 16 years. She actually wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h my jewelry, clothes, silks, and the things my mother left me!”
She tilted her head slightly and sneered, “Father doesn’t care about this. Are all these etiquette, righteousness, and shame fed to the dogs?”
Liu Fuyun had only said Don’t you know propriety, righteousness, and shame?’, but she had bombarded him with so many more words!
In front of her, his argument did not hold water!
No wonder it was said that a woman s lack of talent was virtue!
This proved how difficult it was to deal with well-read women!
Madam Zhang was also furious, but she was playing the role of the dignified and weak wife of the Grand Chancellor, so she naturally could not scold her in public. Therefore, she could only cry even louder. As she cried, she said, “Yan’er is a little willful, but you broke her leg. Aren’t you a little too cruel?”
“Ha!” Liu s.h.i.+mei sneered, “I broke her leg, but I haven’t taken her life yet! You’re calling this heartless? Then she drugged me and ruined my innocence. She even sent someone to place me in a pig cage to drown me! She attempted to kill me! What should I do? Madam, don’t tell me you don’t know what Liu Yan’er did!”
Madam Zhang held her breath.
After all, Liu s.h.i.+mei’s main target was not Madam Zhang. She was angry at Madam Zhang because she was acting blindly. Therefore, after she was done, she put her focus back on Liu Fuyun. “If Liu Yan’er becomes the Crown Prince Consort, she would study her zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting skills to defeat the other three, and stay in Lotus Yard instead of coming to me for trouble, would I have the chance to break her legs? She’s the one who caused her own injury. For the sake of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence and the Liu family, I’ll endure it. But she went too far, pus.h.i.+ng me into the quagmire and even trying to sh*t on my head. How can I tolerate it?”
Such words were really vulgar.
Liu Fuyun was even angrier. “This old man…This old man can’t tolerate an evil daughter like you!”
His anger was within Liu s.h.i.+mei’s expectations.
it was unbecoming of her to behave this way. It was fine if a girl at home refused to follow her father, but she was also eloquent.
Not only was she eloquent, but she was also full of reason, making him, the Grand Chancellor who could argue with all the scholars in the court, speechless!
Who could tolerate this? Liu Fuyun was furious!
“Bring me my ferule. Today, I wall teach this unfilial daughter again!”
As the head of the civil officials, the Grand Chancellor had countless disciples. He was not a teacher, but he had a ferule.
This ferule was pa.s.sed down from generation to generation in the Liu family, only to the family head. To Liu Fuyun, it was equivalent to the treasured sword of a general. It was three feet nine inches long and three fingers wide.
Liu s.h.i.+mei had witnessed the power of that ferule since she was young. Of course, he did not use it on her, but on her brother.
The Grand Chancellor was very strict with his eldest son. If he did not meet his requirements, he would beat him with the ferule. Therefore, in Liu s.h.i.+mei’s memory, there were several times when her brother was beaten and could only go out after recuperating for at least seven or eight days!
Today, he was going to deal with her using this ferule!
