But unlike Bai's mother who nodded in agreement silently in her heart, the others just showed it on the surface.

Jiang Li looked at everyone's performance and raised her head proudly.

The neck was as slender as a willow branch. It was originally as white as snow, but now it was a little red due to the sun exposure.

She was very satisfied with her answer, and seeing that the nanny did not show any disgust, she became even more confident.

Then he continued to answer, taking advantage of the victory: "Mammy has good intentions. Although she didn't talk about etiquette, she is polite everywhere."

"Li'er has learned her lesson!" Then she performed a ritual that made her extremely proud.

Although everyone despised Jiang Li's words and actions, they had to admit that the answer she gave was indeed the best answer everyone could think of at that time.

Even if there are some of this person's little thoughts mixed in.

But in such weather, everyone just wanted to finish the class quickly so that they could return to the room and enjoy the cool breeze.

But the nanny showed no joy or anger, and just allowed everyone to continue basking in the sun.

The sun hung high in the cloudless blue sky, its golden light penetrating the atmosphere and pouring down on the earth without reservation.

The air was filled with a distorted image of heat waves, and the scenery in the distance seemed to tremble slightly in the water vapor, like a mirage.

After entering the yard, the young ladies' maids were gathered together and taken to a corner.

The leaves of the unpruned trees are densely intertwined, forming a natural parasol. The sun shines through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows, and the breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

But their hearts are not so cool at the moment.

Those who are able to serve the young lady have followed her since childhood, so it goes without saying that they are loyal to their young lady.

At this moment, looking at their master standing under the scorching sun, their eyes never left him for a moment, and their ears were always listening to the nanny's words, just waiting for the word to come so that they could rush over with an umbrella in hand.

There was also a smart one who went to the big kitchen and brought back a big bowl of cooling mung bean soup, but just as he reached the gate of the courtyard, he was stopped by people arranged by the nanny.

Such obstruction was not carried out in private; the maids gathered under the tree and the little girls in the sun could all hear it.

But those people understood the nanny's intention and would not make any compromises, so everyone gave up.

They could only watch with their eyes, hoping that their master would not get heatstroke. Otherwise, not only would they have extra work today, but they would also have to accept punishment from the adults at home.

I don't know how much time had passed, but when the nanny saw that no one was moving, she couldn't force anyone to speak, so she spoke herself.

There was originally no expression in her eyes, and she only glanced at the maid holding the umbrella.

After receiving the signal, the man quickly put down the fan in his hand and walked towards Jiang Li with light steps.

Bai's mother relied on the fact that she was in front and close to them, so she raised her head and took a quick look.

The steps were as silent as the gentle breeze blowing across the lake, and the feet rarely seemed to actually touch the ground, but instead glided gently above the ground, giving people a floating and mysterious feeling.

Just one glance is enough to make people sigh.

If this was the "rule" and etiquette of the palace, she would rather not go.

The woman walked up to Jiang Li and said in a disrespectful tone, "Miss Jiang Li, please don't use the etiquette of the poor and remote areas casually, otherwise you will be laughed at."

"Puchi~" The laughter from the crowd reached Jiang Li's ears without any concealment, making her cheeks, which were already slightly red from the sun, turn a deeper red.

Jiang Li was already feeling a little aggrieved because of the unpleasantness that had just occurred, and at this moment her face turned red, and she retorted in defiance.

"Don't be surprised, Madam. This is the etiquette of the Divine Doctor Valley. After all, the Divine Doctor Valley is the root of the Jiang family, not a remote place."

"It's Li'er who doesn't know the rules of Kyoto and brings shame to the Divine Doctor Valley!"

"Pa!" A crisp sound was heard, and the people who were originally watching the joke fell silent. They were afraid of being entangled by this stupid man, or even getting slapped in the face, which would be really embarrassing.

Jiang Li covered her red face, looked at the maid in disbelief, and then glanced at the nanny.

I just need to wait for the nanny to say that it was the maid's fault, and then I can fight back openly to vent my resentment for the slap.

I have never suffered such humiliation since I was a child!

But this plan ultimately failed. The maid's every word and action represented the nanny's intention, so naturally there would be no mistakes.

To take a step back, even if the maid's behavior was wrong, the nanny would only teach her in private.

I won’t point it out in public. After all, it represents my own face.

There is no reason to slap yourself in the face.

The nanny had a cold face the whole time and didn't say a word. Even when she noticed Jiang Li's gaze, she just picked up the round fan that was placed aside and continued to fan herself to cool down.

The maid spoke coldly and deliberately louder, not only to Jiang Li, but also to everyone present.

"Please don't blame me, Miss Jiang Li. I am doing this... for your own good."

"The girl keeps saying things that bring shame to Divine Doctor Valley, but her actions don't consider Divine Doctor Valley at all."

"I didn't!" Jiang Li retorted in a low voice, but was met with the maid's cold gaze. The burning pain on her face made her silent and she dared not say anything more.

The maid then continued, "Young lady, you know that the rules of Divine Doctor Valley are different from those of Kyoto, but you still follow the rules of Divine Doctor Valley. Are you trying to let everyone know that you are from the Jiang family?"

"I wonder if the head of the Jiang family knows that the daughter of a head of the family would destroy the family's reputation like this outside?"

Many little girls were originally feeling hot and damp from the sun, but after hearing these words, they felt a chill emanating from the soles of their feet.

Jiang Li's originally slightly red face turned pale.

She recalled the first day she entered Kyoto, when she had an argument with the daughter of an official's family at the city gate.

The Valley of Divine Medicine is a long way from Kyoto. In order to spend less time in the carriage, he rushed into the city at the last moment before the city gate closed.

The city gates of Kyoto open earlier and close later than ordinary city gates, at the hour of Xu.

In order to ensure his own safety during the journey, Daddy specially equipped himself with skilled fighters from the Divine Doctor Valley and also recruited a group of bodyguards to accompany him.

In order to avoid missing the time, he sent someone with the token from the Jiang Mansion to wait at the city gate in advance.

Even if it was really too late by then, he could use the token to make the soldiers guarding the city give him some leniency for a while.

When she was in the Valley of Divine Medicine, she heard those who had returned from Kyoto say that this could be done.

Because the Jiang family is in Kyoto, they are the soldiers guarding the city and will not be easily provoked.

If you do someone a favor occasionally, you can get a reward.

This amount is more than the monthly salary of those people standing at the city gate, so why not do it!
