Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 416 Learn the rules

"Sister Qu, I..." Before Aunt Deng could finish her words, she was interrupted angrily by Guo Jiayan.

"Mom, since she doesn't want to recognize us, just ignore her and let's go!"

After Guo Jiayan finished speaking, she grabbed the jade bracelet on the table and tried to pull Aunt Deng away.

Aunt Deng was pulled up by her, but her eyes looked at Si He reluctantly.

But Si He's eyes were still cold and indifferent, without a single word of trying to keep her.

Aunt Deng suddenly looked hurt, and tears seemed to be about to fall again.

At this time, a group of girls came from a distance, followed by a large group of maids and nannies. Although they were just strolling in the garden, the scene was quite grand.

The girls in the lead were dressed in luxurious clothes, talking and laughing. They were the legitimate daughters of several families, while the concubines' daughters followed behind, being very well-behaved and with a clear hierarchy.

When they saw Si He, they walked over here.

Si He looked at the group of girls. Except for two unfamiliar faces, she had seen all of them before.

The two unfamiliar girls were surrounded by the crowd and were obviously of higher status than the others. Although Si He had never met them, from their clothes and the attitude of the crowd, she roughly guessed that they were the legitimate daughters of the eldest house.

In fact, it is true.

One is the eldest daughter of the eldest house, Guo Jiayue, who is also seventeen this year, half a year older than Si He. She has a beautiful appearance and elegant manners.

Another slightly shorter girl, also the eldest daughter of the eldest son, Guo Jiaqiao, is fourteen years old this year. She is less pretty and has an arrogant look.

Since the two sisters went to their grandmother's house a few days ago and were not at Guo's house, they only came back today, so they did not meet Si He.

The two had heard some things about this concubine's daughter before. They were curious but also angry because she challenged the dignity of the eldest legitimate daughter of the eldest house. Not only did she beat Guo Hao's men, she even threatened them. Especially since it involved Guo Jiayue's marriage, this was naturally intolerable. So after returning, they brought people to look for this arrogant concubine's daughter.

The arrival of a group of people made Aunt Deng and Guo Jiayan, who were originally planning to leave, stop in their tracks.

Guo Jiayan took the initiative to salute. After all, there is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate daughters. A illegitimate daughter has to salute when she meets a legitimate daughter, even Aunt Deng had to greet her.

Only Si He was still sitting on the chair, indifferent. Even if it was Madam Guo who came, she would still have this attitude and was not afraid of being criticized, because if she took a step back, she would retreat all the way.

Seeing this, the others had different expressions. Those who had seen her confront Madam Guo were not surprised by this, but the Guo Jiayue sisters had ugly expressions.

Aunt Deng and Guo Jiayan also had complicated expressions. It turned out that apart from showing respect to the old lady and others, she was disrespectful to everyone else!

Even Gao You and Gao Zi were surprised repeatedly.

"presumptuous!"

An old nanny beside Guo Jiayue scolded her harshly, glaring at Si He and saying, "How dare a mere concubine's daughter disregard the hierarchy and not even show courtesy when meeting her eldest sister? How unruly! How can this be disrespectful?"

At this time, the maid who went to get the umbrella came back.

Si He stood up, and when everyone thought she was going to bow, she reached out and took the umbrella brought by the maid, ignored them, opened the umbrella, and walked out of the pavilion.

Many people stared at her departing figure in amazement. Guo Jiayue and Guo Jiaqiao had cold eyes and obvious anger on their faces. They were so arrogant!

The old lady who spoke before did not expect her to be so presumptuous. Even though she had heard about it before, she was still shocked when she saw it with her own eyes!

"This is outrageous! This is too outrageous!"

The old nanny was so angry that she almost jumped up and down. After pointing at her back and scolding her, she asked Guo Jiayue for instructions, "Miss, this concubine simply doesn't take you seriously. If you don't teach her a lesson, the Guo family will really have no rules in the future!"

Guo Jiaqiao also said: "Eldest sister! What Madam said is right, that concubine's daughter is too arrogant!"

Guo Jiayue watched the figure walking further and further away. Although she was angry, she remembered that the two maids beside the concubine were not ordinary people. She heard that they were sent by the Shangyue family and were very skilled in martial arts. They had beaten Haodi's men badly. She endured it and said, "Let's go talk to mother first and let her make the decision."

She had heard before that her mother couldn't do anything about this concubine's daughter, so she naturally wouldn't act rashly. She came here today just to see how arrogant this concubine's daughter was. Now it seems that she is just as the rumors said, arrogant, conceited and without rules.

"let's go!"

Guo Jiayue angrily flicked her sleeves, turned around and left, and the others hurriedly followed.

Only Aunt Deng and Guo Jiayan were left in the corridor. Their faces became even uglier, and they were more worried that they would be implicated in this matter.

On the other side, Si He held an umbrella and came to the rockery in the garden. There were a lot of talismans pasted in some hidden places around it. It was obvious that the Guo family had invested a lot of money and every place had been decorated.

Originally, she planned to go into the rockery to take a look, but now she thought about it and decided to give up. It couldn't be trapped there for long, and there were too many people around her, and her every move was being watched.

She walked around the corridor in the back garden and then returned to Xiangxueyuan.

However, as soon as she came back, she saw two maids and several maids coming over.

"Miss Nine, we are here on the orders of the old lady to teach you the rules."

Madam Liu, who was speaking, had a serious expression on her face, but Madam Li next to her had a hint of cruelty in her eyes and a ruler in her hand.

Nanny Li was the one who had just scolded her in the garden. She was brought by Madam Guo from her parents' home to serve Guo Jiayue. Today, she saw that the dignity of the legitimate daughter was challenged by a concubine's daughter, so she naturally could not swallow this anger.

"Okay." Si He nodded lightly.

The old lady had said before that she would arrange for someone to come and teach her the rules, and she was happy to learn. After all, she was indeed lacking in this aspect. When she went to the Yue family in the future, she still had to behave herself and could not be so free and easy.

However, this only applies to her studies and does not mean that she has to bow her head in the Guo family.

As expected, when they came up, they gave her a show of power. They first talked about the rules of legitimacy and illegitimate children and the hierarchy. She listened quietly but didn't say anything. This was the rule of that era.

But then, when they started teaching the rules of etiquette, they became too strict.

"Miss Nine, learn how to kowtow first."

Nanny Li held the ruler in her hand, described the situation aloud, and then asked her to do it.

Si He did not act immediately, but said: "Madam, please demonstrate it first."

Nanny Li's expression became a little awkward, but she still demonstrated it to her, then said, "Miss Nine, please."

Si He followed the same action as Li Ma's previous action and bowed lightly towards the wall of the main seat.

"The knock was too light!"

Nanny Li scolded loudly, and after that, she even raised the ruler to hit Si He.
