An Ning taught the five girls another detailed explanation of the affairs of the Nanyi side, the government's laws and policies, etc., and then asked the girls to play on their own.

After waiting for a while, An Ning specially asked Xiao Hui to go to the inner room to talk.

As soon as Xiao Hui entered the house, An Ning asked her: "Have you gone to Dong Da again?"

Xiao Hui nodded: "Yes."

"Kneel down."

An Ning scolded her softly.

Xiao Hui immediately knelt on the ground obediently.

An Ning stood up: "You kneel down and think carefully about what you have done during this period of time, and get up after thinking about what you have done wrong."

"yes."

Xiao Hui did not complain at all, and quietly knelt on the somewhat hard ground.

An Ning didn't look at her anymore and turned around and left the house.

She took Xiao Yin and played for a while and sent the children out.

When Xiao Yin left, she was still looking for Xiao Hui: "Mom, where is Sister Hui?"

An Ning said, "She is helping her mother with her work in the house. You go and play first, and she will find you later."

Xiao Yin didn't ask much and followed Xiao Fu out of the house.

An Ning sent the children away and called the manager to discuss the matter. After the discussion, she read the book for a while. Soon it was time to dinner. She called Chunxing to come and tell the girls: "You ask them to tell the girls and let them eat in their room. It's cold today, so there is no need to walk back and forth."

Chunxing called the little girl to go to various courtyards to pass the message.

She came back and asked An Ning softly: "Miss Hui wants...to let her get up and eat something."

An Ning had a cold face: "No need, let her wake up while she is hungry."

Chun Xing was a little worried: "The girl is weak, what if..."

While he was talking, Xiao Yuan came back.

When he entered the door, he saw Chun Xing with a worried look on his face: "What's wrong? Chun Xing, what happened to you to tell me?"

See the tranquility of spring apricots.

An Ning didn't say anything, Chun Xing said softly: "Your Majesty will find out after a look in the inner room."

Xiao Yuan picked up his cloak and hung it. He walked straight to the door of the inner room and looked inside. He saw Xiao Hui kneeling in the room at first sight. She had been kneeling for a long time, and now she was very unstable and everyone was a little shaky.

Xiao Yuan took a look and walked to An Ning and sat down: "Prepare the meal."

He did not plead for Xiao Hui, nor did he ask An Ning why he punished Xiao Hui.

An Ning taught the children at home a lesson, but Xiao Yuan never intervened, let alone refuted An Ning.

Similarly, if Xiao Yuan educated his children, An Ning would never say anything.

The girls arranged the meal, and the aroma of the meal spread throughout the room, with an indescribable temptation and a kind of fireworks.

Xiao Hui knelt in the room, smelling the fragrance coming from outside, and her stomach was already hungry and screaming.

Since she arrived at the Xiao family, she has never been hungry again. Her pampered life has almost made her forget the begging days she had lived before.

If you don’t have enough food every day, you will be frozen and unable to sleep in winter, and your stomach will be so hungry that you will be croaking. You will not know if you can live today or tomorrow.

Such days seem to be far away like the previous life.

But today, she knelt on the cold and hard ground, screaming with hungry stomach, and her stomach secreted sour water, which aroused those memories again.

Xiao Hui clenched her fists and tried hard to restrain herself from thinking about those things.

She is no longer a beggar now. She is the girl of the Xiao family, the daughter of Xiao Yuan and An Ning. She is one of the most glorious girls in the Nanyi Mansion. In the future, she will be even more glorious. Her life will be better and better. In the future, she may become a princess. She is no longer something that everyone can bully...

Xiao Hui gritted her teeth, she knew why An Ning punished her.

She should be punished if she did what she shouldn't do, but even if she was punished, she would never change her mind.

After An Ning had dinner, she sat with Xiao Yuan and chatted for a while before getting up and entering the house.

Seeing that An Ning wanted to teach Xiao Hui, Xiao Yuan did not go into the inner room, but got up and wanted to leave.

Before leaving the door, he turned around and told An Ning: "Let the child eat something first, don't be hungry, let her eat enough if you have anything to do."

"knew."

An Ning responded in the inner room.

Xiao Yuan went out, An Ning asked Chunxing to take the girls out. She closed the door, which made Xiao Hui get up.

Xiao Hui knelt for a long time, and when he got up, his legs felt sore and he almost fell to the ground.

An Ning looked at her coldly, but her eyes still had a little worry.

Waiting for Xiao Hui to limp over, An Ning pulled her to sit on the bed, rolled up her trouser legs to look, and saw that there was a large area of ​​purple on her knees.

An Ning went to get the ointment and applied it to Xiao Hui on her knees, and helped her to push the bruises away little by little.

An Ning pushed and Xiao Hui cried, tears falling in a string.

"It will definitely hurt, but you must push it away, otherwise it will be even more uncomfortable tomorrow. You can bear it and wait for a while."

An Ning's voice also softened a little, with a little distress in her voice.

Xiao Hui cried with a whistle: "Mom, I don't care, I don't care, I can bear it, I'm just happy, I'm not really angry with me, I still love me."

"You kid."

An Ning smiled and scolded: "You are my daughter. Can I still not want you because you did something wrong? If you made a mistake, your father and I may beat you and scold you, or we may be disappointed, but how can we ignore you? Where can parents in the world be willing to give up their children?"

Xiao Hui couldn't help crying after hearing this: "Mom, I, I am really happy. You beat me and scold me, and I am happy to punish me. I know that my mother made me kneel because she loved me. Mom, do you know? When I was a beggar, I begged for food to go to someone else's door. I saw the mother in the yard holding a stick and chasing the naughty child. The children chased me all over the yard. I was really envious. I just thought that there was a mother who could control me and beat me when I did something wrong, but she also loved me. At that time, I thought, if I had a mother, even if she really hit me, I wouldn't hide."

This child.

After hearing this, An Ning felt very soft.

She rubbed Xiao Hui's head: "Eat something first."

An Ning went to the outside room to serve some soup for Xiao Hui to drink, and took two more rice cakes for her to eat first.

After Xiao Hui finished eating, An Ning asked her: "I know what's wrong?"

Xiao Hui nodded: "I know, I shouldn't have any ideas about General Dong. After all,... He has a wife and children, and I am very different from him. I also understand that my parents will find me a very good husband in the future, but I just want to follow General Dong, and I don't want anything else."

An Ning had already pulled her face down at this time: "Why are you so confused? You..."

"mother."

Xiao Hui looked up and looked at An Ning timidly: "Dad is more and more concerned about General Dong. In order to stabilize the morale of the army and win over General Dong, his father asked him to teach his children in our family. I know what his father means, but now... his wife and children cannot be found. He is a lonely man, without any worries, and it is really not easy to control. But if I can marry him, it will be different. If I marry him, he will become his father's son-in-law. He will naturally stand on our side. No matter who can't pull him away, he will never betray his father. Besides, I can also look at him."

An Ning pursed her lips tightly and looked at Xiao Hui with a serious face.

Xiao Hui said softly: "Every time I read history books, I have read some records from all dynasties. The princesses from all dynasties want to marry each other, especially when the country was first decided, the princesses married because they wanted to win over the court officials, mother, I am your and your father's daughter. This is my responsibility, I..."

"You underestimate your father and me too much."

An Ning said angrily: "I raised you not because I wanted you to marry and marry you. So what's the difference between us and the Zhang family? I raised you to ask you to help and be a helper, but I want you to help with your own abilities. I want you to learn a lot of skills and learn self-esteem, not to let you despise yourself so much."

"mother."

Xiao Hui looked at An Ning with tears in her eyes: "I know, I know that you and my father love us, they are planning for us sincerely, and I understand what Niang meant, but I..."

She covered her face and cried desperately, as if she wanted to cry out the grievances in her heart.

An Ning sighed helplessly, hugged Xiao Hui and comforted her softly: "Why are you crying? I just say a few words to you and you will cry like this. You are my daughter. I have carefully raised you to grow up to such a big age. Even if you really like someone, you should ask him to come and ask us, instead of you often go to him to help him do things. Huier, you have to be upright."

Xiao Hui nodded: "Well, I'll listen to my mother."
