Xie Qiao knew her weakness—she was too weak.
Although a person who was weak could attract people's protection, at the same time, they would lose their original personality. No matter what such a person said, nobody would care.
It would be different if she inflicted some pain on herself.
Perhaps Xia Yayun would not mess with her for a while after this. At least, she would not dare to challenge her in public.
However, it was rather irritating that they had to clean the stable.

The teachers at the academy would have many strange ways of punishing the students. However, they were usually more lenient when it came to ladies. Even if they made mistakes, they would only be punished to do things like copying books. They hardly had to do anything that required a lot of strength.
