Chapter 256 Defeated Opponent

Xiao Qi felt relieved that his younger sister had stood up for him, but in order to maintain his image as a nice guy, he still had to pretend and say, "Little sister, you mustn't be rude!"

"Big brother..."

Lin Yuesha stomped her foot. How was that unreasonable? I don't offend others unless they offend me. It was that damned green-eyed guy who was disrespectful. She was just retaliating.

With his stepbrother's temper, it's clear he was bullied a lot by people like Green Eyes at the academy.

We're all just commoners, and that guy with the beady eyes isn't some official's son, so why is he superior? Where does his sense of superiority come from?

"One should be kind and considerate. If you know someone's shortcomings and flaws, do you think it's right to bring them up?"

Xiao Qi suppressed a laugh and seriously reprimanded his younger sister, "You should apologize to Young Master Qin right away."

Lin Yuesha thought about it and realized that it would be better if her stepbrother didn't say anything. Honest people can be infuriating if they tell the truth, so she became even more convinced of what she said.

"Young Master Qin, I'm sorry."

Lin Yuesha apologized, but she couldn't help but smile, her eyes sparkling and overflowing with light.

"Xiao Tingyun, and you brat, you just wait!"

People around him were laughing, and the man with the beady eyes was so angry he could hardly breathe. He clutched his chest and realized he was suffocating.

A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years. He and Xiao Qi are both at Changqing Academy, so there will be plenty of opportunities for revenge in the future!

"Pooh!"

Young Master Qin, with his beady eyes, spat and strode away.

"Tch, a defeated opponent."

Lin Yuesha pouted, neither her beady eyes nor her father could match her.

“Brother, if this kind of person is looking for trouble, you can’t be lenient with them, because then they’ll think you’re easy to bully and will become even more aggressive.”

Lin Yuesha caught Xiao Qi's rambling, and she became the one lecturing him.

As for the lack of money, you should tell your family. Now that the shop is open and the family has income, there's no need to be stingy. We're not short of money.

Although everyone at Changqing Academy is a scholar, not all scholars are of good character. There are plenty of people who fawn over the powerful and belittle the weak. Why put up with that?

"Little sister, your brother knows he was wrong."

Xiao Qi apologized sincerely and then inquired about the situation at home.

The academy was quiet and nice, except he couldn't eat his younger sister's cooking. However, he was sometimes away, and Lin Yuesha couldn't visit him often.

"Don't worry about things at home. Once the shop is up and running, everything will be fine."

Lin Yuesha talked about going to the girls' school on the first day of the fourth month and also recounted what happened in the prefectural city in the past two days.

Lin Yuesha made a bet with Xiao Qi's father, who had green bead eyes, and made a net profit of three hundred taels of silver. They would split the money in half when they met. Lin Yuesha gave Xiao Qi a silver note with one hundred taels of silver.

"Little sister, what are you doing?"

Holding the silver notes in his hand, Xiao Qi had the illusion that he was being raised by a little girl.

"Brother, this is my private savings. It wasn't left by my godparents, and they don't know about it either."

Lin Yuesha felt a pang of pain as she handed over the silver notes, but considering the expenses her kind-hearted stepbrother had incurred for his studies and the high cost of books, she didn't hesitate to stuff them into his hand.

She wanted to use the remaining silver to open a shop.

"Big brother, please accept this. It's my heartfelt gift. When you get to high school, you can look after me."

Lin Yuesha was afraid that Xiao Qi would not accept it, so she quickly added.

"good."

Xiao Qi felt conflicted after accepting the hundred-tael silver note, but he quickly stopped thinking about it and put it out of his mind.

"Brother Tingyun."

The brother and sister were chatting when a refined and elegant young man walked out of the door.

Lin Yuesha's eyes widened at the sight of him. This young man's appearance was like a gentle breeze and a bright moon, bringing immense comfort.

Bai Dingfeng nodded to Lin Yuesha and then greeted Xiao Qi.

"Brother Dingfeng."

Although Xiao Qi was talking to Bai Dingfeng, he glanced at Lin Yuesha out of the corner of his eye. This little girl said she didn't care about her appearance, that she didn't mind having a pockmarked face, but when she met a handsome young man, her eyes were glued to him.

He was very unhappy, but Xiao Qi didn't show it.

"You must be Young Master Bai?"

Bai Dingfeng and Bai Youran only bear a slight resemblance, but Bai Dingfeng possesses a refreshing and pleasant quality. He is gentle and refined, and clearly comes from an extraordinary background.

"It is I."

Bai Dingfeng nodded, not understanding how he had been recognized.

"Well, Sister Bai asked me to deliver something to you. I was planning to have my older brother take it in for you, but I didn't expect to run into you like this."

Lin Yuesha explained, and then gestured for Bai Cha to get the package, which contained a portion for Bai Dingfeng.

Xiao Qi didn't say anything. He was touched that his younger sister had brought so many things during her visit, but it turned out that not all of them were for him.

"In that case, thank you very much, Miss Xiao."

Bai Dingfeng was unaware of the relationship between Xiao Qi and Lin Yuesha, and assumed that she was Xiao Qi's younger sister.

Lin Yuesha smiled and didn't correct her. None of that mattered. She didn't want to tell everyone that Xiao Qi was her stepbrother and that their family was a blended family from ancient times.

Xiao Qi wanted to talk to Lin Yuesha a little longer, but seeing his younger sister staring at Bai Dingfeng like that, he was displeased and dismissed her with a few words.

The brother and sister will see each other more often in the future, so he must keep a close eye on them and make sure Lin Yuesha is not carried away by wolves.

At only thirteen, she has unintentionally offended so many people, which gives Xiao Qi a headache. This little girl is a real handful.

On the way back, Longjing couldn't help but start chattering again, "Miss, that young master Bai is really handsome."

Not only is he good-looking, but he is also the son of a prefect. Any woman who marries into such a family would be laughing in her dreams.

"No manners."

Bai Cha nodded to Long Jing. It was best to keep these words to herself. If outsiders overheard and spread them, they would only think that their young lady was unruly and couldn't even manage a maid.

"Miss, I was just saying."

Longjing realized his mistake and stuck out his tongue.

Although my young master is good-looking, his personality is too...like dough. It seems that what Miss said is right, he is too easy to bully.

"So, you're not allowed to bully my older brother anymore."

Lin Yuesha was also helpless about this; that was just her stepbrother's personality, and there was no way to reason with him.

However, honest people have their advantages. Today, her stepbrother's words infuriated Green Bean Eyes. On the surface, he asked her to apologize, but in reality, he made his stance clear and stabbed Green Bean Eyes in the heart.

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

If Lin Yuesha didn't know that her older brother was a kind-hearted person, she would have almost thought he was cunning. Those few words he said were really well said!

"The young master has a good temperament."

Bai Cha nodded. "Servants shouldn't act arrogantly just because their masters are kind; that would be losing their duty."

Moreover, the young lady never beats or scolds the servants. For the sake of Da Niu'er, she is even willing to spend fifty taels of silver. She does not look down on their lowly lives. Bai Cha is truly grateful to Huang Ya Ren for having such a master.
