172 A Gentleman Doesn’t Speak for No Reason, His Words Must Be Reasonable

Madam Née Wang was startled by her daughter’s sudden words. She had never thought that her little ancestor would flare up at this time.

“Mother, I didn’t say anything wrong. Isn’t that Mr. Du a private teacher invited by the first branch? Now that there was no carriage and it was getting late, it didn’t matter if someone stayed for a night. If you don’t do anything wrong, you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door!”

Her words were said in a positive way and heard in a negative way. Every sentence was hinting that Mo Ruyue and Du Zhongheng were not clear. Don’t look at her young age, her thoughts and mouth really had some of the Qin’s true inheritance.

“Qin Qingfei, how dare you make up stories about my mother?”

!!

San Bao did not give in immediately. Qin Qingfei glared at him and took a step forward.

He was no longer the hotheaded young man from before. The principles that Du Zhongheng had taught him were profound but simple, and many of them were not in the textbooks. At the same time, it had helped her babies broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge. It would not be an exaggeration to say that their minds were clear.

If it was in the past, he wouldn’t have been able to hear these words, but now, they were particularly piercing to the ears.

“Qin Qinghong, who are you trying to scare? You’re staring with your bull eyes, aren’t you afraid that your eyeballs will fall out?”

Qin Qingfei immediately retorted sarcastically, “I was just giving a suggestion. Do you like people to say that your family doesn’t know etiquette and doesn’t treat guests well? Isn’t Mr. Du your teacher? It’s said that a teacher for a day is a father for life. You’re not willing to let him stay for a night, is this also respecting the teacher?”

Her little mouth rattled on, but Mo Ruyue clearly saw Qin Qingyuan sneer at the back. It seemed that someone had been guiding her behind the scenes.

Qin Qingfei’s eloquence could be considered sharp, but her mind was not very bright. She was incited to be a gun in front of others. Generally, such a bird that stood out would not survive more than a few episodes in the novel.

Because Qin Qingfei was really too young, if Mo Ruyue personally tore it, it would seem like she was bullying the young. However, she did not have the chance to appear. Tang Tang, who had been hiding at the back, suddenly stood up.

“Teacher once taught us that a gentleman does not speak without teaching others, and his words must be reasonable. Not only must one’s words be reasonable, but they must also be based on principles. If you don’t say it, you’ll be at a loss, but if you don’t say it and it happens, especially when you’re not sure about it, it’s a slip of the tongue.”

“Just now, Mother clearly said that it was getting late and that we should find someone to send Mr. Du back to the city. This was the best way to solve the problem. However, Sister Qingfei suddenly came out and suggested this. Not to mention that there were so many elders present who did not say anything, this suggestion itself is inappropriate.”

“Elder Sister Qingfei overstepped the rules first and was rude earlier, but she’s giving us the label of not being able to respect our master. What kind of logic is this?”

“At least we have a private school teacher at home, whereas Brother Qingyuan has never attended a private school, let alone Sister Qingfei. Even if you guys want to respect your master, you don’t have the opportunity. I do feel a little sympathetic.”

Mo Ruyue almost wanted to clap in public when she heard this. Although Tang Tang was about to celebrate her fourth birthday, it was not yet her birthday. It had only been a few days and the little guy who spoke in a childish voice and avoided people had become so good at talking?

She was able to talk about big principles in a set, but she was also able to fight back without falling into a disadvantageous position. She could also take the opportunity to give the other party a slap. This was very similar to her, Mo Ruyue’s, imposing manner.

Now that she thought about it, it was indeed the right decision to hire Du Zhongheng to be the children’s teacher. If it was another teacher, Tang Tang would probably still be well-behaved and silent. Why would she stand up and refute Qin Qingfei?

“You! Qin Qingting, you’ve grown up. I’m your big sister, how dare you talk back to me?”

Before they had separated, Qin Qingfei was used to being pampered at home. She could even order Da Bao around, so how could she care about Qin Qingting, a little child?

Now that she was embarrassed, Qin Qingfei couldn’t take it lying down and immediately flared up.

“My mother is your aunt, but I don’t see you showing any respect.”

Tang Tang immediately retorted again, her imposing manner not reducing at all, making Mo Ruyue really want to hold her in her arms and rub her well.

“Good, good! Your first household has all grown up, all grown up!”

Qin Shi saw that her granddaughter was at a disadvantage and couldn’t help but stand up to protect her child.

However, the moment she opened her mouth, she also gave Mo Ruyue a chance to speak. If she couldn’t deal with a little girl, could she not deal with an old lady?

“If you guys come here to quarrel, I, Mo Ruyue, will accompany you to the end. But Mr. Du has nothing to do with this matter, so what’s the reason for pestering him? If you don’t quarrel enough today, you’ll have a chance to quarrel in court tomorrow. Don’t worry.”

As she spoke, she did not care about Qin Shi’s expression and directly said to Da Bao, “Da Bao, go and invite Grandpa Liu over. Just say that Mother wants him to help send Mr. Du off.”

Da Bao nodded and coldly glanced at Madam Qin and the second branch before hurriedly running towards the Liu residence.

Not long after, Uncle Liu came back with Da Bao. He walked to Mo Ruyue’s side and said, “Lady Qin, Da Bao has told me everything. Don’t worry, I will send Mr. Du back safely.”

“Uncle Liu, then I’ll have to trouble you to drive my family’s carriage there. Please be careful on the road and come back early. I have lanterns, torches, firewood knives, and forks in my car. If it’s dark on the way back, it’ll be good for illumination and self-defense.”

Mo Ruyue nagged at Uncle Liu.

She was used to being cautious, so whenever she drove a carriage out, she would always prepare all the supplies in case of an emergency.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Whether it was for lighting, self-defense, food, water, or even some medicine, it could be said that there was no need to worry about any accidents. Now, it came in handy.

“Well, I know all this. It’s getting late so I’ll take Mr. Du and set off.”

Uncle Liu nodded to Mo Ruyue and then called Du Zhongheng to get in the car.

“No, Mr. Du, you can’t leave!”

Qin Shi suddenly became energetic again. When Du Zhongheng passed by her, she grabbed his sleeve tightly.

“Hey, Old Lady, why are you grabbing my sleeve?”

Du Zhongheng was caught off guard and immediately felt a headache. He could not help but start to fight with Qin Shi for his sleeve.

Just now, he had been stopped by Qin Shi several times, and now she was here again. Could it be that this old woman was determined to keep him here?

“Mr. Du, you can’t leave. If Mo Ruyue doesn’t make things clear today, no one can leave! I was brought to court by my daughter-in-law because of you, and you’re just going to leave like that. What’s the matter?”

Qin Shi’s words stunned Du Zhongheng, but before he could come back to his senses, he felt someone grab his other arm and gently pull him back, and his whole body involuntarily leaned over.

His other sleeve was originally in Qin Shi’s hand, but she suddenly let go as if she had been burned by something.

This caused Du Zhongheng to pull out his sleeve and he also followed behind Mo Ruyue.
