Chapter 697
At three o'clock in the morning, Jiang Zhao woke up and moved around for a while before eating.
Today we still need to deal with Jiang Xuanxin's matter. She had to be punished for harboring a thief last night. Jiang Xuanxin is already sixteen years old. It will be difficult to correct her, not to mention the two obstacles of Jiang Zongshun and Mrs. Yan. Besides, he is not that patient.
He was not punished last night. After a night, Jiang Xuanxin no longer took hiding a thief as a serious matter and did not think he would be punished again.
When the disciple arranged by Jiang Zhao went to invite her, she and Chen Jiayue were admiring the flowers with Madam Yan.
There was so much noise last night. Madam Yan knew what happened, but she didn't know martial arts and didn't like to join in the fun, so she didn't go there. There was a big fuss and no one in the sect was harmed. She thought the matter was over. Originally she wanted to say something to her daughter, but seeing her smiling happily that morning, she didn't want to spoil her mood.
Jiang Zhao, the eldest brother, had already reprimanded Xuan Xin last night, so she should have realized her mistake.
After hearing that Jiang Zhao wanted to invite Xuan Xin to come over, Mrs. Yan realized that the matter might not be over yet.
"Mom, eldest brother said last night that he would punish me today." Jiang Zongshun was in seclusion, and Jiang Xuanxin had to panic. After all, her mother's words were not that effective when her father was not around, and eldest brother would really punish her.
Most of the time, the sect will inevitably be banned from leaving the house, and will be punished by copying books.
"Don't be afraid, mother will go with you." Madam Yan patted Jiang Xuanxin's hand, "It doesn't matter even if you are punished, just wait until your father comes out of seclusion."
Jiang Xuanxin breathed a sigh of relief, that's right, there is still dad, and when dad comes out, brother won't be able to do anything to her.
Hall.
When Jiang Xuanxin and others passed by, a lot of people had already gathered. Besides Jiang Zhao, the one with the highest status was the second elder Mei Sanxiang, who was also one of the witnesses last night.
Jiang Zhao greeted Mrs. Yan and started talking about business: "Jiang Xuanxin harbored two thieves last night and violated the rules of the house. It didn't make a big mistake, but he had to be punished."
Mrs. Yan spoke at this time: "Since no big mistake was made, we can't forgive Xuan Xin this time? Xuan Xin is young and kind-hearted, so when she sees someone being injured, she can't help but save her. In the world of rivers and lakes Isn’t there a saying that when the road is rough, one should draw one’s sword to help? Xuan Xin also has a chivalrous heart.”
Jiang Zhao: "..."
He understood why Jiang Xuanxin was like this.
Thieves have come into the house to steal things, and they still draw swords to help when there is injustice. It is somewhat sick, otherwise I would not be able to say this.
He looked around. The second elders and others looked speechless. They were obviously speechless at Madam Yan's words. Fortunately, most of this sect is still normal people. If Mrs. Ruyan and her daughter were like him, he would not let the sect decline in his lifetime. In order to have fewer things to worry about, he could only expel all those with abnormal brains from the sect and make a big change.
"Mrs. Yan, have you ever thought about how much harm it would bring to the entire sect if the thieves had other thoughts and hurt Xuanxin, or if they wanted to use Xuanxin to do something? Danger? "Mei Sanxiang is a little irritable. She has long disliked Mrs. Yan. It's not that they have a conflict of interest. It's that Mrs. Yan occasionally says words that seem to pass through her brain. Just like those words just now, it almost makes her angry to death.
Who cares what it means to be kind and chivalrous to save a thief who breaks in to steal something?
"Repaying kindness and having a chivalrous heart, I think you are stupid and mentally ill, or maybe you are motivated by sexual desire," Mei Sanxiang scolded, "You are the wife of the Feiliu Sword Sect's sect after all. How can someone who is so ignorant of right and wrong, has no regard for the safety of the sect, and says such stupid things, be worthy of being the wife of a sect?”
In fact, she felt that Jiang Zongshun was becoming less and less worthy of being a sect leader. The young sect leader slowly took over various affairs of the sect in his early tenth year. Jiang Zongshun has basically been a hands-off shopkeeper in these years. Occasionally when I am in a good mood, I want to take a look, point out, and make gestures, but I can't solve anything and always add trouble to the young master.
She saw that Jiang Zongshun had better resign as the sect leader as soon as possible and let the young sect leader take over.
"What Jiang Xuanxin committed in the past did not endanger the sect. As an elder, I have nothing to say whether you will punish her or not. She is Madam's daughter. It is not my turn to intervene in how to educate her. But last night It's hard to punish Jiang Xuanxin for harboring thieves. No. If things like this happen again and the other disciples are well behaved, wouldn’t our Feiliu Sword Sect be a street where anyone can wander in? After all, there are kind and chivalrous people here. The kind-hearted Jiang Xuanxin and the compassionate Madam Yan save them."
Jiang Zhao: A good talker.
Mrs. Yan's face turned red after being spoken to, her eyes were filled with tears, and she was speechless for a moment. The grievance on her face was exactly the same as Jiang Xuanxin's.
When Jiang Xuanxin saw this, he immediately said loudly: "Second Elder, are you going too far when you say this about my mother? My mother is also the wife of the sect master. How can you offend me casually? Better than me. The only person who is older than my mother is my father. In the Feiliu Sword Sect, no one but my father has the right to say this about her."
Mei Sanxiang sneered: "Don't talk about Madam Yan, even if the sect leader said that, I will not hesitate to scold you. If the sect leader thinks so too, I think the Feiliu Sword Sect will be finished sooner or later."
"Second Elder, you are not happy with me, I can't say anything, but you are too vicious to curse the sect like this." Madam Yan took a deep breath, pulled Jiang Xuanxin to her side, and looked directly at Mei Sanxiang, "Xuanxin is still young, this is just an unintentional mistake, why are you so aggressive?"
To be honest, if the person standing opposite was not Shi Yan, who had no martial arts skills at all and could not withstand her slap, Mei Sanxiang really wanted to slap him in the face.
She just thought that this matter should be handled according to the sect rules, so she became aggressive?
