After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 332: Vicious Gaze

Because the emperor had no children for many years, news in the palace had always been strictly controlled, and it was difficult for people outside to understand the actual situation in the palace.

Although Mr. Wu knew that the group of children in front of him had come to the palace to have children, he did not think that any child would be unusually loved by both the emperor and the empress dowager at the same time, so he still ranked them according to their official positions.

When Mr. Wu learned that Niu Niu was the daughter of the new top scholar, he became even more excited when bullying her.

Good student Qin Jingshu stood up immediately after hearing the punishment.

Although Niu Niu also stood up, she said, "The class starts at 9:00 p.m. If you just look at the sundial outside, you will know that it is not yet time. Why do you say we are late for class?" Niu Niu was as stubborn as a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.

Mr. Wu knew that it was not yet time for class, but he was looking for trouble. In front of the other students, he frowned and scolded them, "You are disobeying the teacher and disobeying discipline. I will punish you by making you stand at the back for an hour."

When Niu Niu heard this, her face was full of dissatisfaction.

Mr. Wu said in a dignified manner: "Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. You should seize all your time to study. Although you are just women, since you have come to this class to listen to the class, you must abide by the class rules. When is the class? Of course, the class time is from the moment I walk in here and announce the start of the class for you!"

"Now, do you still have questions? When you were studying at home, did your classes also have fixed times?"

Hearing Mr. Wu's question, Niu Niu was at a loss for words to refute. When she was studying at home, Gu Mingda did not have a specific time to start his classes.

Niu Niu followed Qin Jingshu silently and stood at the back of the classroom.

Mr. Wu looked at Niu Niu who was being pushed down, a slightly smug smile slowly revealed on the corner of his mouth, and thought to himself that no matter how sharp your tongue is, you still have to stand in the corner as punishment by me.

Niuniu whispered to Qin Jingshu: "It seems like you have been implicated by me."

Qin Jingshu shook her head and said, "You are working harder. I can only stand for half an hour, but you have to stand for a full hour."

Niu Niu sighed, but said nothing in the end.

Their morning class only lasts for an hour, and Niu Niu has to stand until the end of the get out of class.

Mr. Wu, who was sitting at the head of the class, held up a teaching stick and took out a book. "Today, I am going to teach you about the "Instructions for Women". The virtue of a woman lies in the three obediences and four virtues. These three obediences and four virtues are..."

Mr. Wu held the book in his hands and began to read, shaking his head, without caring at all whether the people below could hear him clearly.

Niu Niu frowned slightly. She didn’t like hearing this very much. She felt that it was different from what Gu Mingda had taught her in the past.

But the class content was decided by the teacher, and the teacher taught whatever he wanted to teach. Niu Niu didn't say anything, but just stood there listening listlessly.

"Gu Xi, repeat what I just said!" Mr. Wu suddenly raised his voice.

Everyone's eyes fell on Niu Niu.

Mr. Wu only said it once, and these were things that Gu Mingda had never said before. Now that he asked Niu Niu to repeat them immediately, she couldn't help but stutter.

"The Three Obediences and Four Virtues are: obey your father at home and obey your husband after marriage... and then... and then..." Niu Niu couldn't say anything else.

Mr. Wu sneered: "Your father did get the top score in the imperial examination, but it's a pity that a good father leads to a bad daughter. You have forgotten what I just told you! When you go back, you will be punished to copy it a hundred times!" When Niu Niu heard this, her eyes widened.

Mr. Wu looked at Miss Li San who was standing beside him and said, "You, tell me what the Three Obediences and Four Virtues are."

Miss Li San was older than them and her family had taught her the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. She stood up and recited it very fluently.

After reciting it, Miss Li San turned around and looked at Niu Niu proudly.

Mr. Wu was not very satisfied with her performance, but said with a serious face: "A woman should be chaste and quiet, why are you acting so frivolous?"

After hearing this, Miss Li San wanted to curse.

Mr. Wu continued the class and casually said, "You are girls, and you will get married sooner or later. If you can recognize a few words, read the Women's Virtues and Precepts, and keep the women's code of conduct firmly in mind, then you will be blessed."

Listening to Mr. Wu's constant belittling of women, Niuniu, who had been silent, could no longer bear it and said, "Women are not weak and are not inferior to men. It is not gentlemanly for you to belittle others with every word you say."

From the first day Niu Niu started class, Gu Mingda had been constantly instilling this idea in his daughter, so that she could set goals, be diligent in her studies, and not be lazy just because she is a woman.

When Mr. Wu heard these words, he became furious. He stared at Niu Niu with his cloudy eyes, as if he wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from Niu Niu.

"Boys start to learn at the age of six, their perception gradually opens, and their intelligence grows day by day, but girls spend their whole days at home in a daze. How can they be compared with boys?" Mr. Wu said in a deep voice.

Niuniu raised her head and said, "Men have the opportunity to be enlightened, but women are locked up at home. If they have the same opportunity, who can say who is smarter?"

"Ridiculous! You are like a rotten wood that is difficult to carve! No wonder Confucius said that only women and villains are difficult to raise! I will not teach a student like you anymore even if Your Majesty comes to persuade me!" Mr. Wu said viciously.

Niuniu didn't expect that the man in front of her would get angry again and said, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise? Is what Confucius said necessarily right?"

It was clearly a rhetorical question, but to Mr. Wu, it sounded like Niuniu was questioning Confucius: "This is outrageous! How dare you question Confucius!"

After saying this, he reached out and slammed the desk hard.

Maybe he used too much force, or maybe the table was of poor quality, but when he slapped it, the table broke into pieces.

Mr. Wu lost control of his whole body, the table cracked, and he let out a shrill scream.

"Hand! My hand!"

The table was cracked and Mr. Wu's hand didn't suffer a good ending either.

He was covering his right hand at this time and jumped up on the spot in pain. He seemed to have heard a crisp sound in his ears just now, and couldn't help but suspect that his palm was broken.

He was in great pain and just wanted to see a doctor right away. Naturally, he could not attend the class. Before leaving the classroom, Mr. Wu looked at Niu Niu with resentment, thinking that he was so unlucky now because of this rebellious child.

Mr. Wu didn't even bother to say a word to others. He covered his hands and ran out in a hurry. But as soon as he reached the yard, everyone heard his shrill screams again.

The little girls heard the noise and ran out of the house, only to see Mr. Wu lying on the ground. He seemed to have fallen down because he was not careful when walking, and his head hit the rubble that had not been cleared away, causing a bleeding head.
