  When the sisters came in, Jiuniang was lying on the bed with red eyes. Seeing everyone, she quickly got up to greet them, but her face still looked unhappy.

  "9th sister, are... you okay?" 10th sister immediately pulled her hand and asked with concern.

  "Nothing much, just...just got scolded by Master Su and was fined...fined to embroider thirty pouches..." Ninth Sister lowered her head at the right moment.

  Since you're dressed up, act like it!

  "Thirty pieces?" Everyone who heard it couldn't help but gasp, and the eleventh sister was even more astonished, "So many, when will we finish embroidering them?"

  "Su Shifu has always been strict, this eleventh sister... should know...". Jiujier's expression became increasingly gloomy, but a little later she smiled wryly, "Heh, actually it's nothing, just stay up for a few nights and it'll be over."

  Her forced smile seemed to have won over everyone's hearts, and they all looked at her with sympathy, falling silent.

  "Seventh sister, I'm telling you..." Wen Liu's voice suddenly became particularly prominent.

  After entering the house, Liu Jie and Qi Jie had been whispering and laughing together, it was unclear what they were talking about.

  This act, in Jiū Jiě's eyes, a child's face with an adult mind and pseudo-Lolita, is just a show of false bravado.

  But in the eyes of other genuine and innocent little girls, it's a bit too much. What's going on with Jiu Jie's embroidery homework? Everyone knows what's really going on.

  Especially the tenth sister, after school in the afternoon, she immediately told her mother about this matter.

  "Alas, what's the use? We're just a branch of commoners after all."

  The unfair and indignant moment in her heart was stirred up again. Now that Sixth Sister has done this, she really can't bear it anymore.

  "Sister Liu, what are you saying? Do you know where Sister Jiu's homework went?" Sister Shi stared tightly at Sister Liu, with a smile that was not quite a smile.

  "How am I supposed to know?" Wen Liu's sister said stiffly, and then felt it wasn't quite right, so she pressed on, "What do you mean by that, Wen Shi's sister?"

  "What does it mean, huh..." The tenth sister sneered and then looked at the eighth sister who had been shrinking behind everyone since she entered the house. "Eighth sister, what do you think I mean?"

  "I...I..." Wen Ba Jie was stunned, she quickly glanced at Jiu Jie Er, her small face turned bright red in an instant, and her big almond eyes were filled with tears.

  "Wen Shi Jie, what are you doing? Obviously it was her own fault for not paying attention to her work, why is she blaming others? If a country falls, can we only blame those who subvert it and not reflect on ourselves? 'Trees fear being hollowed out when old, people fear becoming weak when old, beware of emptiness and weakness, from strictness to the end.' You, who have always boasted about your high learning, surely you've heard this phrase before?"

  Wen Liu's sister was afraid that Wen Ba's sister, this soft and easily bullied person, would be asked urgently and really reveal the matter, so she hastily took the lead and also cited classics and historical records.

  "What did the sixth sister say? Loyalty, filial piety, propriety, righteousness and integrity have always been the virtues that our people of Dai Viet uphold, and daughters should especially be mindful of their words and actions. But now, as the legitimate daughter of a marquis and a first-rank official, you actually praise treachery and say such rebellious and unrighteous things - what kind of family education did you receive? If someone with ill intentions were to hear this, who knows what calamity it would bring?"

  The fourth sister, who was originally dissatisfied with the sixth sister, now heard that she had actually spoken presumptuously about court affairs, and finally seized the opportunity to sternly reprimand her, thereby severely suppressing her.

  Mother is actually very capable, but she always loses to her elder sister-in-law. That elder sister-in-law has a sweet face but a bitter heart, and Mother doesn't know how many secret grievances she's swallowed or how many tears she's shed because of her.

  What's the point? Teaching a daughter like this, and pretending to be elegant every day, isn't it just because of Eldest Uncle's inheritance of the title? Hmph!

  She now really has the feeling of having spoken ill of her mother...

  Sixth sister was originally pleased with her own words earlier, but after being analyzed by her own sister, she suddenly became extremely disrespectful and the source of trouble, and was stunned. A visible look of panic flashed across her round and delicate goose egg face, looking wronged and unwilling at fourth sister, but not daring to say another word.

  "Fourth sister, sixth sister was also an unintentional mistake..."

  Seeing Liuxi'er like this, Qiqi'er, who had always been close to the main house, immediately smiled and defended Liuxi'er.

  "You don't know what's important or not, just shut up!" But before she could finish her sentence, she was rebuked by Fourth Sister.

  The seventh sister immediately fell silent, but a pair of beautiful eyes couldn't help but flash with tears.

  No one spoke again, and the room fell silent once more...

  It's really frustrating to have things turn out like this, the ninth sister is a bit helpless. These little girls are indeed, they themselves try their best to avoid them, choose a quiet place, but still find their way here, take advantage of the situation and turn this place into an arena for competition and struggle...

  "Eighth sister, your embroidered purse is beautifully done, can I trouble you... to help me embroider a few?"

  The ninth sister glanced at the eighth sister who was lowering her head tightly, and suddenly spoke in a low voice, breaking the difficult silence.

  "Of course!" Eighth Sister was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "I'll help my sister embroider twenty, since I'm fast at it!"

  For this younger sister who had once saved her life, Ba Jie was truly filled with remorse and regret that she couldn't repay her kindness but instead harmed her.

  She really didn't want to, but she was truly afraid of Liu Jie.

  Now Jiuniang actually came up with such a compensation method, she really couldn't wait to take down the entire purse.

  "Eighth sister, no need for so many, just help me with a few."

  Looking at that silly little white rabbit being deceived, Jiu Jie couldn't help but laugh sincerely. After laughing, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

  This child is also honest, but has an unfortunate fate.

  I shouldn't have taken advantage of her in a legitimate and proper manner, especially when it comes to her excellent needlework skills.

  Mrs. Zou is best at making excuses, she has always made the eighth sister work, under the guise of urging her to do needlework, but in fact it's just a disguised exploitation of labor.

  Her own biological daughter also has this item, but her biological daughter is just a spoiled child who doesn't do anything and just throws tantrums.

  But as a concubine's daughter, how dare I?

  "It's okay, I'll help a few more!" The gentle and weak little white rabbit said with determination once again.

  "Eighth sister, no need! I'll also help Ninth sister, Mother is having me practice this right now, what a great opportunity!"

  The second one who came out to respond was none other than the youngest and most innocent eleventh sister, and for a while, the ninth sister had been eleven's idol.

  "Oh, thank you little sister first." Jiū jiě ér was grateful with a smile.

  "Eldest sister, how can I be left out of such a thing? I'll help you too!" The tenth sister was indeed quite thoughtful, but also very loyal.

  "Little Nine thanks you, tenth sister!" Ninth Sister laughed again.

  "Good sister, we share good fortune and bad luck together. Ninth sister, I will also help you embroider a few!" At this time, the fourth sister who was high-spirited but not lacking in kindness also said...
