Now you can still rely on the Jiang family's status in Kyoto to prevent others from bothering you.

But what if the woman married into a good family?

You must know that there are many families in Kyoto whose status is higher than that of the Jiang family.

The royal relatives alone are enough to kill a large number of people.

Below that, there are various duke families whose official positions are not as high as the Jiang family's, but as for their background, even they themselves may not be clear about it, so how can others know it!

Just because those people are not pursued now doesn't mean they won't be pursued in the future.

Just remember that you are a member of the Jiang family. If the Jiang family gets into trouble in the future, there is no guarantee that they will not step on you to vent their anger.

When the time comes, it won't be enough to just apply a little rouge and powder.

"Miss Jiang Li." The nanny looked at her as if she were a dead person.

The five finger marks on Jiang Li's face had not yet disappeared. After experiencing such high temperatures and being frightened by the nanny's eyes, she felt a little dazed.

"Ma...Ma, Li'er knows she was wrong. Please forgive her this time."

Jiang Li finally realized that this afternoon's lesson was aimed at her.

"Miss, you are too kind. You are the daughter of the Jiang family. Whether you should be blamed or forgiven is up to the Jiang family to decide."

"As for me, an old woman, I am only responsible for teaching, and I dare not overstep the line to manage the punishment of the girls."

Bai's mother glanced at the slap mark and complained in her heart: So this is the state of speaking the truth to human beings and lies to ghosts. Let me teach you!

"Miss, do you know who was in the carriage outside the city gate that day?"

After being strongly exposed to the sun, the surface of the stones became scorching hot, as if it could cook food.

Jiang Li knelt on it, hissing in pain, but had no time to care.

"Madam, please forgive me. At the beginning, Li'er just saw that there was no sign on the carriage and the woman on it was also sick..."

With his arrogant and domineering attitude at the beginning, he could have justified himself in asking others to step aside and let them enter the city gate first.

From what he said now, he knows that he has offended someone he shouldn’t have offended, and he doesn’t even dare to say “sick person”.

"The Empress has passed away, the eldest prince is in poor health, and the eldest princess has requested to go to the imperial mausoleum to observe mourning for three years."

"If the eldest prince had not been seriously ill, Your Highness might not have returned from the imperial mausoleum earlier, and naturally you would not have met the domineering 'Jiang family girl' at the city gate!"

Jiang Li's pupils dilated after hearing this. She seemed to remember that when she verbally insulted him, the coachman on the carriage wanted to attack her.

A faint voice came from inside the carriage, "An..." There are not many people in this world who can travel with secret guards.

She thought that the other party had a noble status, but what was the use if he was not favored.

But she forgot that even the unpopular royal family members were not people that she, who came from the mountains, could afford to offend.

What's more, the Queen passed away not long ago, and His Majesty is feeling extremely guilty and is concerned about the prince and princess.

The eldest princess, Wei Xuan, was well-known for her filial piety. Even though she was in poor health, she still knelt outside the imperial study for two hours, just hoping that she could observe mourning for her mother.

Even when traveling, he always traveled light, with only the secret guards given by His Majesty.

This made the emperor feel deeply guilty, and naturally attracted more attention.

Even though his safety was only guaranteed by one secret guard, His Majesty still secretly sent people to guard him.

Not long after he was wronged upon entering the city gate, the matter reached the ears of the emperor.

The moment Jiang Li entered the Jiang family's gate, the head of the Jiang family also received an order to enter the palace.

"Mammy, spare me!"

"Mammy, spare me!"

Jiang Li began to feel an unprecedented fear in her heart. She no longer cared how much the slap on her face hurt. She only knew that she kept banging her forehead against the hot stones over and over again.

Soon red marks began to appear, and soon drops of blood began to flow from the forehead.

As Jiang Li moved, the wound grew larger and the blood flowed out like a column of water.

"Li Er really didn't realize that she had offended Her Royal Highness the Princess. Please forgive me, Madam!"

"Li'er is willing to apologize to His Highness in person. I only ask Madam to spare my life and spare my parents and siblings who are far away in the valley."

"Even if I can be a servant to His Highness, that would be fine!"

Jiang Li was frightened and cried, her face was covered with blood and tear marks.

The little girls had never seen such a scene before, and were forced to retreat by the blood on Jiang Li's face.

Jiang Li raised her head and looked at the nanny and the maid beside her, all of whom had indifferent expressions.

The avoidance movements of the people around her stung her eyes badly.

Her knees seemed to be unaware of the pain, rubbing against the rough gravel road, grabbing the skirts of the Jiang family girls one after another as if they were grabbing a life-saving straw.

The originally tender hands were now covered with scarlet blood at some point, staining the carefully decorated dress, and all she received in return were looks of disgust.

What's more, they were too busy trying to avoid the people Jiang Li had offended, so how could they help her?

After all, Bai's mother still felt a little bit reluctant. She frowned and looked for a while, then spoke to the nanny.

"Mammy, this matter concerns the Jiang family's reputation. Jiang Li... must give an explanation to the princess."

She wanted to say that Jiang Li was still young and must have realized her mistakes now, so she should at least leave her a way out to make up for her mistakes.

But she also knew that her young age did not exempt her from responsibility in the Jiang family.

If I really use age as an excuse, I'm afraid not only Jiang Li, but even I will be punished by my grandfather.

But if it's for the sake of the Jiang family and to find a way out for Jiang Li in disguise, you can still give it a try.

She is the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family and attaches great importance to the reputation of the Jiang family. Allowing Jiang Li to live to atone for her sins is only for the sake of the Jiang family!

In the eyes of others, they all looked at Bai's mother with contempt. No one expected that a person who only knew how to find ways to please the powerful would also consider the Jiang family.

Bai's mother's words were heard by people outside the yard, and soon an old housekeeper came in with two maids.

After whispering a few words to the nanny, she nodded slightly, and the two maids took Jiang Li away.

The old butler serves the master of the house all year round. As soon as he appears, everyone knows who is the person behind this great show.

Some younger girls were so frightened by the scene that they broke out in cold sweats.

For a moment, Bai's mother even felt that the scorching sun made her body warm.

The bloodstains on the rough and uneven stones dried up quickly, but the air was still filled with a strong smell of blood.

This smell mixed with the rotten smell in the yard to form a sickening, suffocating stench.

The rotten leaves scattered around seemed to be soaked in blood and emitted the same pungent smell.

Everyone spent the following classes in such torment.
