Pampered Consort of the Fragrant Orchard Chapter 66.4

What Did This Prince's Wangfei Do Wrong? (4)

T/N: Chapter (5/12) sponsored by Madam Daim! Thank you for sponsoring!

The next day, when Du Xiao Li got up, Meng Old Madam also had gotten up. Du Xiao Li went over to examine her body again and said, "Grandma Meng's illness this time was rather serious. This illness right now, although is passed the dangerous period, one still needs to properly rest for a period of time. I'll prescribe for you two days worth of medicine, boil three bowls of water down to one, and ingest every time before a meal. However, as the saying goes, all medicines are three part poison, so if two days later, the recovery is well, then just stop taking the medicine and change to using a diet to adjust."

Du Xiao Li had the newly prescribed medicine prescription given to Madam Meng, who was already in the room attending to Meng Old Madam.

"Really thank you, little girl, if not for you, this old life of mine will have gone to see King Enma. Looks like the extra time can be considered having earned." Meng Old Madam reclined against the headboard of the bed, affectionately looking to Du Xiao Li.

"Grandma Meng will live for a hundred years!" Du Xiao Li said with a smile.

"This girl still knows how to talk." Meng Old Madam said, following which she let out a sigh, "Previously, I still wanted to let you be my granddaughter-in-law, but unexpectedly the emperor bestowed a marriage for you."

Du Xiao Li only speechlessly laughed.

"Since you can't be my granddaughter-in-law, how about becoming my granddaughter?" Meng Old Madam suggested.

"Granddaughter?"

Meng Old Madam nodded.

Madam Meng smilingly said, "Mother's meaning is to let us recognize you as our adopted daughter, how about it, are you willing?"

"But I'm already calling you grandma Meng." Du Xiao Li said.

"Once we recognize you as our daughter, you can just call grandma." Madam Meng said, "Are you willing?"

"Does this matter need my father to agree?" Du Xiao Li said.

"Haha, it's fine as long as you agree. Prime Minister Du's side, we'll go explain to him." Madam Meng said.

"Then in the future, Xiao Li can just call me big sister?" Meng Jiang Zhuo came in from outside and said with a giggle, "No wonder, yesterday when meeting her at the academy, I already felt very close, turns out it's because we have a predestined affinity to become sisters!" 

"Just your mouth's smooth." Madam Meng said with a laugh.

"Alright, I'm going to take Xiao Li to eat breakfast, and then head to school! Grandmother, you stay at home and properly recuperate. Remember to take the medicine on time! After school lets out in the afternoon, we'll come back again to check on you." Meng Jiang Zhuo said as she bowed to Meng Old Madam. 

"Alright, you all go then." Meng Old Madam somewhat wearily said. 

Du Xiao Li and Meng Jiang Zhuo slowly retreated to the door, before finally turning around to leave the room.

"Mother, why don't you rest some more." Madam Meng came up, and seeing that Meng Old Madam didn't object, reached out to help her lie down.

"This matter, you let Wei Ren go discuss with Du Yun Han." Meng Old Madam said.

"I know, mother." Madam Meng nodded. Once Meng Old Madam fell asleep, she instructed the servant girl to properly look after, and then went to go find Meng Wei Ren.

Her day at school was just as boring as yesterday. However, today's classes were calligraphy and dancing. Ji Liu Xia and Du Xiao Li, just as before, only watched from the sides.

"Xiao Li, you didn't go home yesterday?" Ji Liu Xia asked.

Du Xiao Li shook her head.

"No wonder today I heard Du Ke Xin at the entrance say to them that you stayed out all night and whatnot! Afterwards, the others just began saying your conduct wasn't good, and all kinds of unpleasant words." Ji Liu Xia said in annoyance, "How about I go sort her out?"

"Eh, no need." Du Xiao Li said. No wonder she felt everyone's gaze towards her this morning was strange. Turns out it was Du Ke Xin trying to trip her again. "Those that believe me will still believe me, and those that are good to me will still be good to me. Didn't you also not distance yourself away from me?" 

"But she's really just too much, if I don't sort her out, I'll feel stuffy inside!" Ji Liu Xia said, and then not waiting for Du Xiao Li to stop her, flung her brush in hand. The ink directly onto Du Ke Xin's dress in front, and her neck also got splashed some.

(T/N: This novel tease me with JLX wanting to beat up DKX so much yet never happens ;;;v;;;)

"Ah---"

Du Ke Xin suddenly began screaming, and afterwards, accidentally had her own brush flung out, also staining the dress of the person to the upper left of her. That person also screamed too, and her body knocked over the table. The ink stone and whatnot scattered all over the ground, dirtying the clothes of everyone in the surrounding. The classroom immediately was flooded with screams. 

"Quiet! During handwriting practice time, how can you make such a clamor!? The calligraphy teacher had just happened to have stepped out for a moment, and upon returning, he saw this chaos and furiously roared.

The classroom slowly quieted down. The teacher walked to the front and angrily said, "Just what are you all doing?!"

"Teacher, someone's ink was flung to the front....." Someone softly replied.

The teacher saw that everyone's clothes more or less were all stained with ink. He furrowed his brows and said, "Panicking when encountering matters, how is that proper?"

Upon getting reprimanded, everyone all lowered their heads.

"Teacher, she did it!" Chen Yue suddenly pointed to Du Xiao Li and shouted, "I saw her have the ink flung onto sister Ke Xin. Sister Ke Xin got startled, and thus accidentally had her brush thrown."

Everyone's gaze all gathered on Du Xiao Li, their gaze all unfriendly.

The teacher looked to Du Xiao Li and asked, "Is it you?"

Ji Liu Xia originally only wanted to mess with Du Ke Xin, but didn't expect that in the end, things would develop like this, and was momentarily a little flabbergasted. Upon hearing the teacher question Du Xiao Li, and just as she wanted to speak, she just heard Du Xiao Li say, "My hand just trembled, it wasn't on purpose."

"Nonsense, you and Ke Xin are that far apart, if you didn't do it on purpose, how can it have ended up on her?" Chen Yue retorted.

"Third sister, is it really you? Why did you do this?" Du Ke Xin looked to Du Xiao Li with a face full of grievance. That look was just like she'd gotten her father, mother and man stolen! 

The teacher walked over and said with a serious look, "Why did you do this?"

"It's not Xiao Li. In the beginning, the ink was flung by me." Ji Liu Xia stood out and said.

"Miss Ji, even though your relationship with my third sister is very good, but this matter is done by her, so she should come bear the consequences." Du Ke Xin sorrowfully said. That tone was already affirming that this matter was precisely done by Du Xiao Li. 

"Du Xiao Li, if you dare to do it, you should dare to admit to it." Fan Min coldly snorted.

Actually, anyone with a discerning eye could tell from a glance that this matter wasn't done by Du Xiao Li. She and Ji Liu Xia were at the back of the classroom, while Du Ke Xin was in the middle. There was a long distance in between. If one didn't know martial arts, then it was impossible to have the ink flung onto Du Ke Xin. 

But seeing Du Ke Xin and Fan Min both insisting that it was Du Xiao Li, everyone also had this logical flaw ignored. 

"I already said, I did it! I just can't stand seeing Du Ke Xin being a hypocrite and wanted to mess with her. Who let her be startled that easily, causing the entire classroom to turn out like this." Ji Liu Xia glanced to Du Ke Xin in disgust. 

"Du Xiao Li, you come with me!" The teacher glanced at Fan Min and then said to Du Xiao Li. That voice hardly concealed his anger. 

"Teacher, I already said, it was me......" Ji Liu Xia pulled back Du Xiao Li.

Du Xiao Li patted Ji Liu Xia's hand. This many people's clothes were all stained in ink, and the entire classroom also was made into a mess. Today's matter, presumably, won't be easily brushed aside. Moreover, seeing the teacher's face dark like ink, he was definitely going to viciously punish the cause of the trouble. 

Ji Liu Xia had just wanted to vent her anger for her, and the others didn't believe her words eiters.

"Ji Liu Xia, you were at her side yet didn't know to stop her, similarly needs to be punished, so get up too!" The teacher said and then walked to the front of the classroom, taking out a discipline ruler. That appearance seemingly looked as if he was going to hit the two of them. 

(Disciplinary Ruler)

The pain on the hand was small, but getting hit in front of a crowd, losing face was the most important. 

Du Xiao Li and Ji Liu Xia walked to the front. Along the way, various gazes accompanied them.
