Chapter 177 This child... is beyond saving.
Zhong Xunxi lowered her head slightly, her eyebrows slightly raised.
The young mistress was indeed farsighted.
Tell him to keep all the records of his lessons with Xie Siyuan.
He didn't understand what it meant at first.
I never expected to actually use it now!
"Siyuan, say something!" Xu Liuer's voice trembled as she stared directly at Xie Siyuan. "Did you really not listen in class?"
Xie Siyuan lowered his head and didn't say anything.
His right fist was clenched tightly in his sleeve, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
Xie Zhongzhi's expression also turned ugly at this moment.
He could tolerate Xie Siyuan having a bad temper and a violent personality.
But he cannot be an incompetent good-for-nothing!
"Xie Siyuan," Xie Zhongzhi called out to him in an icy voice.
Seeing everyone criticizing Xie Siyuan, Xie Wanning couldn't stand it anymore.
She frowned deeply. "How old is Siyuan? Is it really necessary to be so harsh on him now?"
"And if you ask me, it's not just Siyuan that has a problem; Mr. Zhong bears even greater responsibility!"
Qin Jiuwei raised her eyes and looked at her coldly.
"The young master isn't paying attention in class, can't you find a way to get him to listen?" Xie Wanning glared at Zhong Xunxi. "What kind of teacher are you?"
Zhong Xunxi said aggrievedly, "The young master is the eldest grandson of the Marquis's family, and I am just a schoolteacher. How dare I speak harshly to the young master..."
“The young master’s studies are a big deal and must be taken seriously. No one will criticize you if you are strict with him!” Xie Wanning retorted directly.
"Third Miss, aren't you criticizing Mr. Zhong right now?"
Qin Jiuwei suddenly spoke, saying something lightly, which startled Xie Wanning.
She opened her mouth, "Me! Me!"
But after talking for a long time, he couldn't utter a single complete sentence.
"Enough!" Lord Xie shouted coldly.
He truly doted on his eldest grandson and had high expectations for him.
But I wasn't that confused!
This is clearly Xie Siyuan's own fault for not being good enough; what does it have to do with Mr. Zhong?
Lord Xie glared at Xie Siyuan and said sternly, "From now on, you won't be allowed to eat until you finish your homework! I will also ask Mr. Zhong about your listening in class. If I find out that you haven't been paying attention, you can expect to kneel in the ancestral hall!"
The Xie family has no纨绔 (spoiled brats)! They are not allowed to have any纨绔!
Xie Zhongzhi was just a little slower than Yanli when he was young, but he still studied very hard.
How come my son is so unambitious?!
"My lord, isn't this a bit too heavy..." The lady of the house said with some concern.
Lord Xie's voice was merciless: "If you don't teach them when they're young, they'll only become more and more crooked as they grow up!"
Xu Liuer nodded emphatically.
Yes, while he's still young and we can still teach him, we should correct his behavior as soon as possible!
Madam Xie sighed heavily.
She doted on her eldest grandson, but he was indeed somewhat unambitious.
They are so different from Xie Jue and his two brothers!
Needless to say, Xie Jingchun and Xie Jing are both excellent and very ambitious children.
Even Xie Jue, the youngest, was extremely hardworking.
I've already learned most of the Thousand Character Classic.
His eldest grandson, after studying for three days, still couldn't even recognize the characters A, B, C, and D!
Xu Liuer and Xie Zhongzhi had no objection to Lord Xie's decision.
And that was how the matter was settled.
From now on, Xie Siyuan will not be allowed to eat until he finishes his homework.
Upon hearing this, Xie Siyuan's eyes turned bloodshot, and her small body trembled with anger.
One or two! They're all talking about him!
They won't even let him eat! They're clearly bullying him!
Those who bully him deserve to die!
Qin Jiuwei caught a glimpse of Xie Siyuan's gloomy and furious expression and frowned.
This child... is beyond saving.
Everyone lost their appetite, and dinner was over quickly.
On the way back, Qin Jiuwei walked up to Xie Jing and whispered, "Your plan is very well hidden and leaves no trace."
Hearing Qin Jiuwei's praise, Xie Jing's lips curved into a smile.
“But…” Qin Jiuwei paused, “How do you know that Lord Xie will definitely ask about Xie Siyuan?”
Xie Jing chuckled softly, his voice gentle and calm.
"Because Lord Xie cares so much about Xie Siyuan's studies, he couldn't help himself."
"I chose the four most basic and simple characters: A, B, C, and D."
"The elders in the Marquis's mansion all have high hopes for Xie Siyuan. Even if he doesn't become the Marquis, he might become the Old Madam Xie or the Marquis's wife. Someone will always use this to test Xie Siyuan."
Adults love to make conversation and test their children.
"No matter who asked, the result was the same: Xie Siyuan didn't recognize these characters, which led to his misconduct in studying and he was criticized."
"Even if no one asks, it's fine," Xie Jing said slowly. "This plan carries no risk. In the end, it's just a toy. Who can say anything about it?"
He only wrote a few words, without much effort.
Xie Siyuan dared to bully his younger brother, so he should pay the price.
Qin Jiuwei froze on the spot.
Xie Jing is so young, yet he is already so insightful about people's hearts; he has considered the thoughts of almost everyone.
When he grows up, I wonder what kind of amazing talent he will be.
The next day.
"Second Young Madam, the dish we ordered before can't be made now. How about this dish?"
A maidservant brought out a dish of mutton stuffed with fish and placed it in front of Xu Liuer.
Although they were not yet married, everyone in the Marquis's mansion knew that...
Moreover, with the second young master's doting affection for Xu Liuer and the fact that she gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Marquis's family, her position as the second young mistress can be said to be a sure thing.
Xu Liuer looked at the dish in front of her and couldn't help but sigh softly.
