Chapter 3 — The Lady Reestablishes Family Rules

"The eldest lady of the Song family has a dignified demeanor, how can she be half rustic and wild? With such formality, even the mama who teaches the rules in my palace cannot find fault." "What powerful mama did you find to teach you? The old lady really knows how to hide people." The old lady's face was pale, and she forced out a smile. "Where did this outfit of yours come from? Why don't you wear the set your great-grandmother gave you?" I smiled slightly, my clear voice carried throughout the whole house. The hall. "The red outfit my grandmother sent me was so gorgeous, Nam Tinh really didn't dare to overtake it. Today is a family banquet, if I overshadow the host, wouldn't it break the rules?" Quy Lan Thoi saw that all the attention was being taken away from me, so urgently he tightened his handkerchief. Her eyes rolled around, suddenly looked at Tong Khinh Vu behind me, and shouted in surprise: "Khinh Vu, why did you bring out the Ngoc Quan Am statue that was my great-grandmother's favorite?" Everyone followed her eyes. I don't know when, Tong Khinh Vu had another brocade box in his hand. The lid of the box was slightly open, inside was clearly a valuable Ngoc Quan Am phoenix. Tong Khinh Vu was completely stunned, and instinctively wanted to explain: "It's not you. This box was just stuffed for you by mother Ly..." Before she could finish speaking, Quy Lan Thoi suddenly rushed forward and violently stabbed into Tong Khinh Vu's body. Pho Ngoc Quan Am fell to the ground and immediately broke into several pieces. The whole school was silent. The old lady slammed on the table, suddenly stood up, pointed at Tong Khinh Vu, and shouted in a stern voice: "You are just a nursing daughter, how dare you break the royal banquet? Where are you, pull it down, beat him to death with a stick!" "Tomorrow I will personally go to the palace to apologize!" Tong Khinh Vu was so scared that he collapsed to the ground, his whole body constantly trembling. His father's face became extremely unsightly. Destroying royal objects, if said seriously, is disrespectful to His Majesty, and can implicate the entire family. "Where are you, please family law!" More than a dozen women showed fierce looks, surrounding us tightly. 05 The family law staff broke through the wind and fiercely descended. Tong Khinh Vu closed his eyes in despair, hugged my waist tightly, wanting to use his body to block that fatal blow. I lifted my foot and kicked hard at the breast of the first woman who rushed forward. The woman screamed loudly, her large body suddenly retreated, crushing several people who were rushing behind her. I took the opportunity to pull out the chain from my sleeve and made a loud pop on the back of another woman's hand. The stick immediately fell to the ground. In just a blink of an eye, the family's formation full of murderous intent was torn open by me. The ladies in the flower hall cried out in alarm, used scarves to cover their mouths and noses, and retreated. Father was furious, his finger pointing at me trembled violently. "You dare to fight back, you dare to fight back? Where are you? Go call the soldiers! Even if I kill him today, I still have to give the emperor an explanation!" I coldly looked at this loyal-speaking father. I picked up a large piece of jade from the ground, used a silk scarf to carefully wipe away the dirt, and then held it up high. "Explain? Lord Tong should really think carefully about how to explain to the emperor tomorrow about this crime of lese majesty!" As soon as the words fell, father was stunned, the entire hall was as quiet as a sheet of paper. The old lady sitting on the chair suddenly trembled and shouted in a serious voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? The person who broke the Royal Palace object is this maid, what does it have to do with our Minister's Palace?" Quy Lan Thoi also quickly hid behind the old lady, raising her voice to add: "Tong Nam Tinh, you're already dead and you still want to bite someone else? This Ngoc Quan Am phoenix was clearly broken by Tong Khinh Vu. Everyone saw it with their own eyes!” “Is that so?” I turned the jade piece in my hand and walked step by step closer to Quy Lan

Thoi. "I grew up next to my mother in the palace, what strange treasures have I never seen? This piece of jade is of cloudy jade, the sculpted lines are rough, not even Quan Am's face is neatly shaped. At most, it is just a mixed jade bought in the market south of the capital." "Are you telling me, this is a royal gift?" I turned to look at my father, my eyes as cold as ice, and said word by word: "The object bestowed by the heavenly family represents royal power and divine majesty. An object given by Tao." There must be a mark from the Internal Affairs Palace at the bottom of the production site." "May I ask Lord Tong, where is the mark on this pile of rubble?" Father suddenly widened his eyes. He quickly walked forward and snatched the jade piece from my hand. He turned it over and over a few times, and his face, which was red from anger, immediately turned pale. Without the mark, the quality of the jade is also extremely poor. The Tong family has lost the royal gift.06The ladies in the flower hall are all experienced people. At this time, everyone stretched their necks to look at the broken piece of jade. Soon, someone was discussing in a low voice. "This jade treasure really doesn't look right, there's absolutely no light at all." "What a precious royal object, how can you use such low-class materials?" The voices of discussion were like slaps, slapping on father's face. The old lady's face was ashen, her hands clasped the armrests of the chair, unable to say a word.
