However, all the other girls in the mansion were obedient and sensible. As long as she was not worried, no matter how she lectured or taught, she would remain the same as before, without any changes.
Thus, after making everyone talk and making a joke about it, Second Madam Cheng had become smarter. No matter how much she wanted to live or die, Second Madam Cheng wouldn't bring her out to make a fool of herself. She would only imprison her in the mansion and bring her out to attend the banquet whenever she could learn the rules.
Besides, she was never liked by the other girls in the house.
Who told her to have a bad reputation and easily implicate them. If this were to happen again in the future, they would blame it all on Cheng Mingxue.
Only Cheng Mingxiang, who was young and had a simple mind, would occasionally play with her.
However, Cheng Mingxue only wanted to pretend that she was not willing to play around with Cheng Mingxiang.
That was why he allowed Cheng Mingxiang to play by the side while carrying the fat faced cat.
"Stop right there. Hurry up and apologize to your uncle." Marquis Cheng didn't know when he had returned, but he stood outside the Ancestral Hall and said these words seriously to Cheng Mingxue's silhouette that was about to leave quickly.
"Ugh …" Grandfather Gao, I have not offended my uncles. Cheng Mingxue lowered her head and muttered.
"What did you say? Louder, your great-grandfather isn't deaf." Marquis Cheng said full of energy, his voice was like a great bell, as though after he finished speaking, there would still be echoes that would vibrate in his ears.
However, Cheng Mingxue was so frightened that her body immediately shook. She did not try to control her temper anymore and said, "Grandfather Gao, I was wrong. I will apologize to uncle and the others right now."
"I'm sorry, Uncle, Aunt, I was wrong!" Cheng Mingxue apologized and bowed to Cheng Fengyue and the others.
It's just that Su Chunmei raised her smiling face and pretended to be kind. "As long as Sister Xue'er knows her wrongs, it's fine. But the person you just offended wasn't us, it's the Li mama, he was a rearing mama from the palace, and he's even the esteemed empress dowager's personal female official. Even I have to give her some face!"
"What?" Esteemed Empress Dowager? " When Cheng Mingxue heard this, she immediately looked towards the imposing Li mama.
How could she know that this old mama was someone close to the empress dowager?
If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have spoken carelessly.
However, her shock only lasted for a split-second before she calmed down.
"Yes. I'm sorry Li mama, I'm still young, please don't bother about me. " Although Cheng Mingxue apologized quickly, from the bottom of her heart, she still looked down upon this Li mama and this uncle of hers.
One! No matter how intimate this Li mama was with the empress dowager, he was still a mere servant.
Besides, she had humiliated herself by saying that she was a girl without rules.
Anyone who heard her words would definitely treat her badly.
Two! It was said that her uncle's family came from the countryside, so they were just a bunch of ignorant, uncultured bumpkins. Were they worthy of her apology?
"Grandpa Gao, I would like to spar with her for a bit, do you think so?" Cheng Guanyue suddenly asked.
"What? You want to spar with her? Could it be that you've also learned some martial arts?" After Marquis Cheng heard this, he immediately looked at the young girl who wore a bun on her head.
It was obvious that this was the Cheng Guan Yue that Wei Shengxiao had mentioned in his letter. She was the most courageous girl in the Cheng Family.
"Yes, I learned it in my dreams, so I want to compete with her. Is that okay?" Cheng Guanyue said that, but everyone present understood in their hearts that this Cheng Guanyue was purposely taking this opportunity to vent on Cheng Mingxue.
After all, Cheng Mingxue had truly gone a little too far. He clearly knew that they had come to the Cheng Family Ancestral Hall to acknowledge their ancestors, yet he disrespected them and even ignored them, even saying malicious words.
"No, Gao Dazhi, I am just a lady from a noble family, how could I learn any punches or kicks! And she's so vulgar, how could she be fit to be a girl of our Cheng Family? " Cheng Mingxue's personality was cunning and temperamental, but in reality, she didn't know anything. Even holding onto an embroidery needle was a problem, so how could she still compare notes?
However, during the whole process, Guan Yue had completely ignored her, and stared at Marquis Cheng stubbornly.
The sharp and ferocious gaze that she gave Marquis Cheng made the corner of his mouth twitch slightly. He nodded and agreed, "Alright, then let me take a look at your martial arts and experience your strange strength."
When he finished speaking, Cheng Mingxue still wanted to say a few more words, but Cheng Guanyue had already wobbled in front of her, and before even the maidservants behind Cheng Mingxue could react, she had already lifted her up and kicked her around the ground a few times like a rubber ball. It was so easy and effortless for her as well.
Next, he ruthlessly kicked a few of the most important parts of Cheng Mingxue's body.
Furthermore, even if she felt extreme pain and heartache, she would not dare to tell those servant girls about it.
Even the fat faced cat on Cheng Guanyue's shoulder jumped onto Cheng Mingxue's body and fiercely scratched her a few times when no one was looking.
However, Cheng Mingxue's series of cries and yells was too late. How could she still have the time to care what that fat faced cat did to hinder her?
"Save … Help, we killed him! " Cheng Mingxue was angered by Cheng Guan Yue so much that she kicked and beat her private parts that she found it hard to say out loud.
The most important thing was that after the pain was over, she felt a tingling sensation that made it impossible for her to describe the feeling of wanting to die.
However, Cheng Guanyue knew that Marquis Cheng was present and knew that it was impossible for her to overdo it, so she intentionally made fun of him.
In less than half a minute, she had already kicked Cheng Mingxue in front of her two maids and said disdainfully: "Too weak, you don't even know how to retaliate."
"Seems like this isn't your true ability?" Marquis Cheng was also an old person, who had fought in battles before, and had fought in many battles before.
How could he not see that Cheng Guanyue did not beat Cheng Mingxue up at all?
It was just that Cheng Mingxue didn't have any other ability other than to scream in pain, and was completely suppressed by Cheng Guanyue.
Before she even opened her mouth to speak, Cheng Xiuhua spoke up for her: "For someone like her who can beat up someone who doesn't even have the strength of a chicken, Warmth doesn't need to use any tricks at all. Furthermore, Warmth has personally knocked down more than three hundred bandits and a thousand Liao elite soldiers with her own hands.
As Cheng Mingxiang listened, she clapped her hands and praised Cheng Guanyue who was in her embrace, "Big sister is so amazing, Xiang Xiang is going to practice martial arts with you, fight against bad guys together."
