Chapter 2590: Much Killing Without Shedding Blood

Teacher Liu was a versatile woman who was rumored to have once been a teacher in the palace. She had been hired by Mistress Yun to teach the young ladies in the mansion at a high price.

Having been taught by a palace teacher, the value of the young ladies in the mansion would increase.

Teacher Liu walked in with a ruler in hand, scanned the people present, and nodded in satisfaction when she saw that everyone had arrived.

When Lu Junning saw Teacher Liu, her expression became stern, like she had recalled something unpleasant.

Teacher Liu walked straight toward Lu Junning and sternly asked, “Second Miss, did you complete the task I assigned you yesterday?”

Lu Junning’s expression became even colder as she took out the pages of the entire Women’s Precepts that she had copied. “Teacher, it’s been completed.”

Teacher Liu just casually flipped through it and said, “You didn’t have to finish copying it, but your handwriting had to be neat. Look at your handwriting, it’s like seeing a person’s character. You need to practice more.”

“I understand, Teacher,” Lu Junning said stiffly.

Even Ning Shu could see that Teacher Liu was deliberately making things difficult for Lu Junning. If Lu Junning had not completed the task, she would definitely have been punished.

She had finished copying it, and now Teacher Liu said her handwriting wasn’t good.

It was clear she was just trying to find fault with her.

Lu Junning lowered her head, her expression filled with irony. In her past life, this old woman had said she was stupid and made her reputation very bad.

It was actually Mistress Yun who was behind it. Mistress Yun was intentionally tarnishing her reputation to make it convenient for Shen Hao to marry her. That way he could use her and leverage the power of her grandfather’s family to ascend to the throne.

She definitely needed to find a way to deal with this old woman.

Ning Shu was punished with two hits for not finishing her embroidery and not doing it well.

Fourth miss Lu Yujing was also hit twice.

Ning Shu felt that Teacher Liu’s beating of Lu Yujing was harder than hers. It was extremely loud and sounded painful.

It was apparent that Teacher Liu treated people based on their status.

Since Lu Yujing’s mother was gone and no one in the Lu family really cared about her, Teacher Liu naturally didn’t have to worry about being too harsh towards her.

During the class, Teacher Liu taught some content from Women’s Precepts, and the task was to memorize it.

Women’s Precepts was clearly a feudal book that restricted women’s rights, yet it still needed to be memorized.

Ning Shu glanced at the content and memorized it pretty quickly. Her more challenging task was embroidery. It was still alright if she just needed to sew clothes, but she had to embroider flowers and butterflies. On top of that, she couldn’t do just one flower but had to do a whole bunch of flowers.

As someone who lived life at a fast pace, Ning Shu expressed that this was impossible.

After nearly four hours of class, today’s lessons were over.

Ning Shu quickly left the classroom and asked her maid, Yuan Xiang, to prepare her food.

She was starving!

“Miss, Mistress Liu said for you to come over to her place for food. She said she has something to tell you,” Yuan Xiang said.

Ning Shu went to Mistress Liu’s courtyard. Mistress Liu was Lu Yueyun’s birth mother.

However, she couldn’t call her mother; she could only call her Aunt.

Similarly, Mistress Liu couldn’t call her daughter; she could only call her Third Miss.
