Houfu Key Class

Cuizhi covered her face, not daring to open her eyes.

This time, Master Cheng went too far. Not only did he want to use bad lychees to harm Madam, he also asked Master Xiu to deliver them.

This was clearly the rhythm of a butt being beaten.

Zong Wenxiu didn't know what was going on yet, but stood up to defend his brother: "Madam, it was my brother who knew he was wrong, and he didn't hold a grudge against you. He even asked me to send the wrong lychees to you."

Zong Jincheng was so nervous that he kept scratching his hands.

But his hands were still in a white radish state, and it hurt when he scratched them.

He hissed, subconsciously stood up from the table, and looked at her defensively.

Xu Wan looked at the lychees and smiled: "This year's lychees are all good. I think this one is quite big. Pick it out for Jincheng to taste."

Zong Jincheng's face turned green.

Who wants to eat that bad lychee, and the biggest one!

Zong Wenxiu responded, "Okay, I'll pick this out and peel it for my brother later."

Xu Wan smiled and said, "Don't wait, peel it now, I'll watch him eat it."

Zong Jincheng: "!"

This woman... did she know?

The air was condensed, the atmosphere was tense, and the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Zong Jincheng watched his brother peel the biggest lychee that was broken and put it to his mouth.

The little devil refused to open his mouth.

Xu Wan asked with a smile: "Why don't you eat? Do you think Wenxiu doesn't feed you well? Do you want me to feed you?"

Zong Jincheng glanced at it and threw the bad lychee far away with one arm. He said angrily: "I don't want to eat that lychee. I don't like big ones. Is that okay?"

"Okay, why not, Wenxiu, peel a small one for him." Xu Wan specifically reminded him, "By the way, only peel the one you want to serve me."

As soon as these words came out, not only did the little devil understand, but even Zong Wenxiu noticed something was wrong.

He looked at his brother and wife in surprise: "What's wrong with this plate of lychees?"

In his opinion, there was no difference between the two plates of lychees. They looked the same and had no peculiar smell.

Xu Wan smiled and said, "Ask your good brother."

Zong Jincheng saw that the matter was exposed, and he didn't want Zong Wenxiu to take the blame for him. He said fiercely but frankly, "Yes, this plate of bad lychees I prepared for you, you can't eat it!"

Zong Wenxiu looked at him in shock and asked, "Bad lychees... Do you want your wife to have a stomachache?"

Xu Wan snorted and said, "It's okay if you are dissatisfied with me, but why do you want Wenxiu to deliver it to you? Do you know what kind of life he lives in the mansion? If something really happens to me, do you know what kind of rumors he will face?"

Zong Jincheng said angrily, "Why are you so fierce? This is what I want to do. I know you will definitely not eat the lychees I send you, so I tricked him into sending it. Everyone does his own thing. You can beat him or punish him as you like, but don't bother him!"

"You lied to me?" Zong Wenxiu looked at him.

The ten-year-old boy was taller than him, but his eyes were clear with a hint of hurt. After knowing that he was used by his brother, he couldn't accept it.

Zong Wenxiu lowered his head and apologized to Xu Wan with red eyes: "I'm sorry, Madam, I almost hurt you...Please punish me, whether it's a slap on the palm or a slap on the stick, I have no complaints."

Xu Wan patted his shoulder and comforted him: "You were deceived just because you were too honest, it's not your fault. Go back and stay away from this kid, so as not to be deceived by him again."

"Yeah." Zong Wenxiu choked a little, and turned away without looking at Zong Jincheng again.

"I...I didn't mean to let you take the blame!" Zong Jincheng wanted to chase him out, but was stopped by Cuizhi.

Madam hasn't settled the account with Master Cheng yet.

Zong Jincheng said fiercely: "Why did you ask him to stay away from me? He is my brother, not your brother!"

Xu Wan snorted and said: "Come on, you use him like this, and you still have the nerve to call him brother. I am ashamed for you."

"You!"

"Zong Jincheng, I know you are smart, and I know you are full of evil thoughts. I also know that you were spoiled before and no one told you these. I will tell you clearly today: you hurt Wen Xiu."

"What did I do?" Zong Jincheng didn't understand and said aggrievedly, "I didn't let him take the blame for me. I don't need to say much. You must have read it many times before..."

"But you used him." Xu Wan said, "He treated you as a relative, but you treated him as a tool to use, deceiving him to do things he hated, in order to achieve your own goals."

"I...I didn't."

Xu Wan ordered people to throw away the bad lychees, and continued: "People are different. What you think is just a small prank may be a big thing that violates their conscience and morality in the eyes of others. You have read the books of sages for several months, and it is not all rote memorization. Don't you understand it?"

Zong Jincheng didn't understand.

Or, he just thought that books are books and people are people. He was used to doing things recklessly and without considering other people's feelings. As long as he was emotional, he would make trouble. He didn't care whether others would be unhappy or not. He just wanted to be happy.

Xu Wan's words of teaching him, he only understood half of it, and felt unhappy and uncomfortable.

The brat stared at her unconvincedly, "Have you said enough? If you want to fight, then fight, why are you so long-winded!"

Xu Wan smiled: "Fight? Are you not afraid of being beaten now?"

The little devil snorted: "Because I have a strong will and a strong mind, you can only defeat my body, not my mind! I will write down all these accounts one by one, just wait, I will settle them all in the future!"

Xu Wan stared at the boy's fearless expression, not afraid at all. He was bound to be beaten today, but Xu Wan felt that he couldn't be beaten.

Once a child gets used to being beaten, the beating itself will not be deterrent, and he can't be educated only by force.

So, she smiled again, patted the little devil's face and smiled like a vicious queen: "Boy, I won't beat you today, but you have to learn to bear the consequences."

The little devil shook her hand away and rolled his eyes: "Che, stop pretending to be a good person, you can't get away with it in front of me!"

Xu Wan snorted and said: "Cuizhi, let's go."

"Ah? Ah... OK." Cuizhi was confused.

Didn't they say that even if they didn't beat him, he had to let Master Cheng learn to take responsibility?

How to learn?

The lady had left, who should Master Cheng learn from?

But Cuizhi's doubts were soon solved, because the servants below reported: Master Xiu asked to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Zong Jincheng was a little confused when he saw Xu Wan leave so easily. As soon as they left, Shunzi and Buyan came back with scallion pancakes that were as black as charcoal. "Master, the pancakes are ready."

Zong Jincheng took a look at the black mass and said angrily, "Who do you two want to poison?"

Buyan: "..."

Shunzi said aggrievedly, "Master, neither of us has been to the kitchen. This is at least cooked..."

"Okay, okay, don't say it," Zong Jincheng stood up and said, "Zong Wenxiu is angry, I'll go find him."

"Ah?" Shunzi looked at the only plate of lychees left on the table and hurriedly said, "Master Xiu found it before it was delivered?"
