Are We Still Learning Etiquette Today?

Two other old women, who had been standing nearby, also perished.

They kept slapping themselves, crying as they did so, "Waaah... What's wrong with us? There's a ghost!"

"I don't want to run anymore, I'm too tired, I want to rest."

Zhou Wanwan sipped her milk tea and looked at them, saying, "Grannys, what's so tiring about it? Didn't you say it would be an hour? Then let's follow that rule."

The old woman burst into tears:

"Miss Zhou, we were wrong. What is this thing?"

Why can't we stop? Why can't we control our hands and feet?

Zhou Wanwan ignored them. An hour later, all the old women collapsed to the ground.

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and asked, "Are we going to learn the rules again today?"

The old women all shook their heads, bowed respectfully, and withdrew.

Zhou Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"It's finally over! I'm so tired from watching it!"

Isn't it better to just review official documents? Why do we have to learn all these rules? I hate learning rules the most.

Zheng Xing'an, who was standing next to her, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Master, let's get some rest!"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and went straight to bed to rest.

The next morning, Lord Fang arrived.

He looked at Eunuch Hai and said, "Good morning, Eunuch Hai!"

Eunuch Hai looked at him coldly and said:

"Lord Fang, you're here quite early. Have you found out who the thief is?"

Let me tell you, if you don't find out who the thief is, you're probably going to lose your head.

Lord Fang smiled faintly and said:

"I didn't find out who the thief was, but I did find a kind person."

This kind person had your military pay delivered directly to the military camp.

He didn't have any other thoughts, he just felt that at your speed, it would take ten days to half a month to get to our military camp.

They were very fast, taking only two days.

Oh, by the way, this is a list compiled by our Great Xia military camp, stamped with the military seal.

You can take this back to report to the Emperor.

Eunuch Hai raised his head and said incredulously:

"What did you say? You said that all my military pay has already been delivered to the troops?"

Which little brat dared to do this?

Who would want him to be so kind! It's simply... simply outrageous!

Eunuch Hai was nearly driven mad; this job was such a cushy one.

He originally planned to sell more than half of the supplies, but now he's got nothing.

He pointed at Lord Fang and said:

"You... do you know these are military supplies? How dare you allow your men to do such a thing?"

I will report this matter to the imperial court and have you punished."

Lord Fang sighed helplessly and said:

"Eunuch Hai, this isn't something I wanted to do. I had no choice, okay?"

I don't know who did this. Although she did something good, isn't this a slap in the face to my father-in-law?

Eunuch Hai was so angry he felt like vomiting blood, but there was nothing he could do. Things had already come to this; what could he do?

He looked at Zhou Wanwan, who was enjoying her meal, and said, "You brat, all you do all day is eat, eat, eat! Is eating all you can do? Have you learned the manners I was told to learn?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the old woman beside her and asked, "Have I learned the rules well?"

The old women quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Reporting to Eunuch Hai, Miss has learned the rules very well, please Eunuch Hai assured."

Eunuch Hai snorted coldly and said:

"Is she really that obedient? That won't do either. If you want to serve the princess, you must be proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

Ordinary girls wouldn't catch Princess Jianing's eye. Don't blame me for not warning you, take advantage of this time to learn more.

Otherwise, you'll be in for a rough time once you get to the palace.

Zhou Wanwan buried herself in her food, completely ignoring him.

Lord Fang looked at Eunuch Hai and asked, "Will Eunuch Hai return to the capital now?"

Eunuch Hai sneered:

"Now that I'm out, there's no reason for me to go back now."

I'll have to inspect the area later. I heard there are many more disaster victims here. I'm afraid that right now, there are corpses everywhere and people are living in misery.

Lord Fang wiped the sweat from his brow and said:

Who is spouting all this nonsense?

Our Dongshan Prefecture has always been very well-governed; even beggars are a rare sight."

"Hahaha... Don't even think you can fool me. Do you really think I'm that easy to fool?"

The memorials have already been submitted, saying that all the disaster victims from other prefectures have come to your Dongshan Prefecture.

Lord Fang coughed and said, "That is indeed the case."

"Then you'd better take good care of these disaster victims. If I find out you've been oppressing these people, I won't let you off the hook." This was a threat to Lord Fang.

Lord Fang looked at him good-naturedly and said, "Of course I wouldn't dare. As long as they are the disaster-stricken people, our Dongshan Prefecture has taken good care of them."

"Pshaw! Those aren't just tens of thousands of disaster victims, I heard it's hundreds of thousands. You've resettled them all?"

Bah! Who would believe that? Starting today, I'll go undercover and investigate this matter thoroughly.

Eunuch Hai is in a very bad mood right now, extremely bad.

I thought I was guaranteed to make a profit, but I never expected to be outmaneuvered.

He vented all his anger on Lord Fang, Lord Fang was quite helpless. He glanced at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Then please, Eunuch Hai, investigate thoroughly and see what heinous things our Dongshan Prefecture has done."

Eunuch Hai sneered:

"Well done, Lord Fang. I didn't expect you to be so assertive these days."

I'm quite curious now, how did you suddenly become so assertive?

Lord Fang sneered inwardly. He didn't know why he was being so tough. It was probably because his current master was Zhou Wanwan.

He felt that Zhou Wanwan could protect him.

After breakfast, Eunuch Hai led a group of people out. He looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "You brat, aren't you coming with us?"

Zhou Wanwan was speechless. "What does your inspection of the people's conditions have to do with me? Why should I go with you?"

Eunuch Hai glared at her and said, "Is this what you call her knowing the rules? Didn't you tell her the palace rules?"

The old women nodded repeatedly. "We told her, she knows everything."

These old women had learned their lesson, and being veterans of the palace, they naturally knew who could be offended and who couldn't.

Now, even if it offends Eunuch Hai, they are unwilling to offend Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan grinned and said, "Eunuch Hai, stop putting on airs in Dongshan Prefecture. Are you going or not?"

Eunuch Hai was furious. "Do you believe I'll slap your mouth crooked right now!"

Zhou Wanwan looked up at him and said, "Okay! Let's fight now!"

He looked at the eunuch beside him and said, "Go and slap him ten times, hard, as hard as you can."

The young eunuch rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards Zhou Wanwan.

Lord Fang, standing nearby, shouted, "No...!"

But the little eunuch's hand had already reached out towards Zhou Wanwan; his hand had just reached Zhou Wanwan face.

With a "snap," the little eunuch's hand bent backward, reaching a very strange angle.

With a "crack," the little eunuch's bones broke. He screamed in agony and fainted.
