After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Early the next morning, Rong Niang was called to the main hall and told that the Marquis of Jingnan and his wife wanted to talk to her.

Rongniang has always been afraid of the Marquis of Jingnan and his wife.

As a concubine's daughter, she had not felt much love from the two men. Instead, she understood from a young age that these two people could dominate the life and death of her and her aunt.

"Meetings, Father and Mother!"

"Get up and sit down."

Rong Niang carefully sat down on the chair on the right side of the lower room, and took the opportunity to glance at the host and hostess of the Bo's Mansion out of the corner of her eye.

The stepmother who used to be as beautiful as a flower looked very haggard today, and the father who used to be quite dignified also had dark eyes and a gloomy face.

Both of their legs were wrapped in thick gauze, and even though she was far away, she could smell the strong scent of ointment on their bodies.

Yesterday I heard from my second brother that they knelt for three days and two nights in order to beg the abbot of Cihang Temple to cure my eldest brother’s illness, and their legs became like this.

Rong Niang couldn't help but be amazed in her heart, the abbot of Cihang Temple was so majestic.

He was actually forced to kneel by his father and stepmother as punishment, and even injured his legs.

Although it was a bit unfilial, she subconsciously felt relieved.

They were told to send their aunt to a Taoist temple in the countryside and ignore everything. Now there is someone who can teach them a lesson!

Although she was thinking this in her heart, she still showed concern on her face:

"Are your parents feeling better now? Do your legs still hurt?"

After these words were spoken, their faces turned even darker.

There was no other reason, Rong Niang's question hit the sore spot of the two of them.

When the two men returned to the carriage yesterday, they found that both of their legs were completely swollen from kneeling. There were purple-red blood bruises on their knees, thighs and calves, which looked very scary.

Even though they applied the ointment immediately, they were still tortured by the stinging pain in their legs all night, and they are still in pain now.

The doctor said that the pain would last for several days, and we would have to wait until the pain and blood stasis subsided before we could know the exact extent of the injury.

In severe cases, it will also affect walking backwards.

How can one feel good when judged like this?

Moreover, when people asked about their injuries, they were reminded of the humiliation of being forced to kneel in public, and they felt extremely embarrassed.

Zhang forced a smile and said:

"Mother Rong, the doctor will take care of my and your father's injuries, so you don't have to worry. Did your second brother tell you about going to Cihang Temple for meditation yesterday?"

"Mother, I have told you." Rong Niang said respectfully.

Pei Xiao looked serious and said with a hint of warning:

"Since you want to go to your aunt, your father will help you. Today you go to Cihang Temple, you must be well-behaved and sensible to please the temple master, and you must not be naughty or mischievous, otherwise, if something bad happens, your father will never forgive you!"

Rong Niang lowered her eyes calmly, feeling only that it was somewhat ironic. Her father probably had no idea that she had ever been naughty since she was a child, otherwise he would not have said such things to her.

However, it doesn’t matter what he thinks, she has an aunt!

"Yes, my daughter remembers it!"

Zhang also gently and lovingly advised:

"When you get to Cihang Temple, find a way to find your aunt first and ask her to speak a few good words for your elder brother in front of the temple master so that the master will accept you. Also, tell her for me that there is no need to worry about Xuan'er. My uncle and I will never let him down."

Pei Xiao asked her to stay in the mansion to recuperate today and not to go to Cihang Temple with him. She pleaded several times but was not granted a response, so she decided not to force it.

After much thought, regardless of whether the temple master agreed to treat Pei Jin or not, they had to be shut up first, and not let Cihang Temple reveal that the poisoning was related to her in front of Pei Xiao, Pei Jin and Zhang Jinghong.

She couldn't do anything to the abbot of Cihang Temple, but Chen Qingzhu had been in Cihang Temple for so long, and she would definitely find a way to ensure her son's safety.

Rong Niang didn't know about Zhang's plan, but she didn't agree with asking her aunt to plead for mercy.
