-----------------------------------------
The next morning, Nan Yuejin came to pick up her sister and instructed the mother-in-law to continue taking care of Lan Sheng.
Orchid sits but does not ask with a smile.
Nan Yue Jinwei's face was cold, "Yesterday you said the eldest daughter should take care of family matters, so I'll take care of it. You, Mrs. Pu, with a whole body of tea water, and on top of that, a bunch of grandiose reasons, at first listen, people are speechless, but clearly it's just forcing the argument, with the intention of avenging your mother. Letting grandmother punish you to kneel, but being lazy and taking it easy, not even touching your knees to the ground. I don't know who you're relying on to be so arrogant, I'll add another day to your kneeling punishment, this time my personal maid will keep an eye on you, if you don't kneel, you can just stay in the ancestral hall until you've knelt for a full day."
"So you're saying my mother deserved it?" Lan Sheng thought to himself, Nan Yue Jin Wei was right, she indeed used righteous means to exact revenge.
"Wasn't your mother born to suffer, did my mother deserve it? You want revenge, I won't take revenge?" The sisterly affection had been left in the past, Jin Wei's face was icy cold. "You didn't come back, that would have been fine, but since you're back now, if there's any grievance, just endure it well, because we won't treat you and your mother as one family. If you don't cause trouble, we'll let you stay as distant relatives, but if you cause trouble again, we'll drive you out once more. And for this lifetime, don't even think about stepping into the Nan Yue Manor again, and take away the Nan Yue surname along with it. Do you believe me?"
Lan Shengdao nodded, and with a wave of her hand to Nan Yuejinwei, said, "You've used your status as the eldest daughter to suppress me, and it's clear you're biased towards your own younger sister. I have nothing more to say, I'll accept my punishment calmly."
Nan Yuejin turned around and left, but didn't see Yu Rui. She turned her head to find Yu Rui standing still in front of Lan Sheng, "Yu Rui, what are you spacing out for?"
"Sister, I'm also lazy." Yu Rui didn't move. "You punish her for one more day, and I'll kneel for one more day too, otherwise it wouldn't be fair?"
"Everyone says she's lazy, but who would say you're not a single word?" Nan Yuejin thought of Yu Rui's good heart, and yesterday's cup of water splashed her in surprise, thinking that her sister had changed her temper.
"Man proposes, God disposes. Sister, you go ahead, I'll kneel down this time and reflect on myself, from now on I won't be so arrogant." Yurui said as she was about to leave to kneel, but was caught by Nan Yue Jinwei.
Her expression became even colder, without even looking at Lan Sheng, but to Yu Rui said, "Alright, I won't punish her, and you don't need to self-punish. One day and night of not eating or drinking, yet you still have the energy to discuss what's fair."
Yu Rui took Jin Wei's hand and leaned her head on her shoulder, "Sister is worried about me, I know best. Although not hungry, but too sleepy, I want to sleep in sister's bed."
"Whatever." Although Jin Wei's tone was flat, it was clear that she had a special affection for her sister.
The two sisters walked out warmly and intimately, followed by the young servant girls. In a moment, the small courtyard of the ancestral hall became quiet again.
Lan stood up, stretched his arms and legs, twisted his neck, stepped out of the threshold with one foot, and muttered to himself, "Not even leaving a person, at least tell me how to get back to my own courtyard."
It doesn't matter, there's no resentment in my heart. I'll find the north and walk on the road, if there's no road, I'll go around. I'm strolling alone leisurely. Seeing that the scenery has been trimmed, the grass is two or three inches taller, she thinks the direction is correct, just about to continue moving forward, suddenly hearing a series of slapping sounds coming from behind her back. The months of physical training have taken effect, agile and jumping to the side, five or six meters away from the original place, but seeing a ball rolling past that area.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" The ball let out a mournful cry, its limbs splayed open, revealing a human form.
That is a little boy, a little chubby boy, a slightly fat little chubby boy.
Lan Sheng laughed and said, "The little fatty had it coming, trying to harm others but ended up harming himself instead." Want to push her? The ball's volume is a bit smaller.
The little fatty pouted, wailed loudly and cried, sat on the ground with his short legs kicking wildly, looking like a toad. "Come quickly! Someone come! This newly arrived, incompetent, freeloadng guy is bullying me!"
Lan's eyes narrowed. She could accept her parents' disappointment in her, and she didn't care about the old lady and her sisters' coldness towards her, but a fat kid who looked like a ball saying she was eating for free? She hadn't even bullied him yet, and he said she was bullying him. If she didn't teach him a lesson, it would be a waste of her being so much older than him. At this point, she rolled up her sleeves, sat down on the little fatty's body, and gave his butt a good smack.
Orphan's motto: If you can cheat and don't, you're a fool.
"Say sorry." She was small in stature but had a clever move, didn't really sit down, the thunder was loud but the raindrops were small, it was intimidating.
"Oh no! Murder!" Not unexpectedly, Little Fatty yelled like a pig being slaughtered.
However, strangely enough, he shouted so loudly for such a long time, yet didn't attract even one person.
Lan Sheng thought that this northern courtyard was truly a perfect place to dominate, but then she thought again. This little ball of fur was dressed quite well and had hostility towards her, yet called himself "young master". He should be the only male in this household besides her father, Nan Yue Ling. If so, at least one small servant or book boy should have come out by now?
She made a gesture to hit the ball again, but the ball let out a loud cry and didn't even budge. It was clear that playtime was over, so she stood up, ignoring his fake crying and real fussing, and walked back to her own courtyard.
"Halt! Haha, scared of me, Young Master?" The skin ball bounced up, with a hint of maniacal laughter.
"No one has come to watch the commotion for half a day, how boring. As the only male heir of this generation, Nan Yue Ling, it's you who is humiliating." The daughter of the Nan Yue family is noble, but on the other hand, the son of the Nan Yue family is not noble.
Nan Yue Ling, although aware of his own insignificant presence at home, couldn't help but flare up in anger when Lan Sheng, who had just entered the house and was also considered to be without a promising future, spoke to him in such a manner. He kicked out with his short legs again and charged forward.
Lan Sheng didn't let up this time, one hand pressed against Nan Yue Ling's big head, smiling as he watched his two hands and feet flailing wildly, but not even a breeze was stirred. "You want to bully people? Either become a giant fatso and crush me to death, or grow two heads taller than me and lift me off the ground until I'm breathless. Even if I just arrived, even if I'm incompetent, the one who's most ignored at home is still you."
Nan Yue was twelve years old, and she understood the sarcasm clearly. She sat on the ground with a thud, and this time she really cried. "Every sister bullies me! They all look down on me! But my mother said that you will all get married, and when you get married, this family will be mine, I'll have the final say. At that time, I'll be like Father, the master of the house. I want to remove your names from the family tree, and drive your mothers out of the house. Who let you all look down on me!"
That silent Mrs. Butterfly turned out to be very good at teaching children, and there really wasn't anyone in this family who could be underestimated. Lan Sheng coldly smiled and turned around to leave, there was nothing to say to a brainwashed child.
But behind came the sound of slapping, and the leather ball actually followed up.
She didn't care either and walked back to her own courtyard by herself, saying she was back, but no one responded.
