Chapter 743 Don't Cut the Hair of the Man on the Roadside (8)

The next day, Ning Yan, dressed in a red wide-sleeved robe embroidered with gold begonias, leisurely went to the ancestral hall with four maids.

Upon seeing the Second Miss arrive, the old woman immediately bowed and greeted her, "Greetings to the Second Miss."

Ning Yan was in a good mood and waved her hand, "Your greeting was excellent, Caizhu, here's your reward!"

The two old women were overjoyed!

They're not fools. The second young lady wasn't really rewarding them for knowing how to greet her; she was rewarding them for keeping the eldest young lady locked up!

"This servant thanks the Second Miss for the reward. From now on, I will serve the Second Miss wholeheartedly!"

Damn it, yesterday they were afraid that the old lady would really stand up for the young lady, so they obediently sent in the food.

Now that it's clear that the young lady is truly finished, they no longer need to be polite to her!

Ning Yan smiled, "Alright, open the door. I've missed you, sister, these past few days."

The old woman immediately took the key, unlocked the door, and with a whoosh, the door was pushed open.

When Ning Yao saw Ning Yan's clothes, she was immediately consumed by jealousy.

She usually loves to wear fancy clothes, and you can tell at a glance that the dress Ning Yan is wearing is very expensive.

Putting everything else aside, just the embroidery alone would take two or three months to complete, even with two skilled embroiderers working together. And the fabric is the incredibly valuable Yun brocade.

Such fine clothes should rightfully belong to her, yet Ning Yan is wearing them now. What right does she have?

Looking up, I saw the flying phoenix red jewel hairpin on Ning Yan's head. Its exquisite craftsmanship was definitely the work of a top craftsman, and it was a top-quality piece of jewelry that could be passed down for generations. Ning Yan wore it so casually on her head.

Sure enough, the man surnamed Xia is a hypocrite. He saves all the good things for his own daughter and doesn't even bother to pretend to be nice to his stepdaughter!

"Ning Yan, how dare you show your face in front of me? Everything I have today is thanks to you. Aren't you very proud of yourself?"

Ning Yan: ...Some people are just so unreasonable. Even though the consequences she is suffering today are the result of her past actions, she can blame others without the slightest guilt.

Does Ning Yan care?

"Sister, you've been staying in the ancestral hall for several days now. Is it because you're having so much fun with the ancestors that you don't want to leave?"

Ning Yao suddenly got goosebumps all over her body and even couldn't help but shiver.

My neck is so itchy, it feels like something is crawling on my body, and even my lower back feels heavy, as if something is pressing down on it.

"But this is good too. Our ancestors must really want you to stay here with them. Sister, you are so kind. When it comes to being a dutiful younger sister, I am far inferior to you. When I go to the poetry gathering tomorrow, I will definitely help you spread the word."

The ancestors in the ancestral hall of filial piety are a joke if you tell others!

Unfortunately, Ning Yao's mind was entirely focused on the poetry gathering.

Ning Yan, who can only write doggerel, actually dares to shamelessly attend a poetry gathering?

This guy was successfully led astray by Ning Yan.

Ning Yan has this ability: she completely ignores others' unreasonable arguments and always keeps the pace of the conversation in her own hands.

"If you dare to talk nonsense, I will definitely go to Father and complain. Father loves me the most, and you and your two brothers will have to step aside!"

You see, she knows her father dotes on her, but once she gains power, she wants to take revenge on her family who treated her so well. Anyone who marries someone like that will be incredibly unlucky.

"But you've put Father under house arrest! None of us three siblings have ever knelt in the ancestral hall before!"

Ning Yao angrily pointed a finger at Ning Yan, "You..."

Ning Yan raised her hand and grabbed Ning Yao's finger. "Sister's manners are really worrying. Don't you know it's impolite to point at people? Let me teach you a trick!"

After saying that, with a "snap," Ning Yao's finger was broken by Ning Yan!

"Ah~ my hand!" Ning Yao tried to cover her right hand with her left hand, trying to free her hand, but Ning Yan wouldn't let go.

"You, you actually dared to lay a hand on my elder sister! Wait until I get out of the ancestral hall..."

Ning Yan applied force again, and with a "snap," Ning Yao's finger was restored.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

Ning Yan exerted force again, and there was another "crack".

Here's a trick: if you don't want to hear someone fart, make them yell that it hurts, and then they won't have time to fart.

Ning Yao was in so much pain that sweat beaded on her forehead. Ning Yan's four maids didn't react much, but the two old women guarding the door would flinch whenever Ning Yao screamed.

From now on, they must do their jobs well and never do anything that might offend the second young lady.

Who would have thought that such a cute little girl with pink and tender skin could be so ruthless?

Ning Yan snapped her fingers seven times, then let go. "What's your name, sister? This is too noisy, it's making my ears ring. Never mind, I'll see you another time. I have to break your fingers!"

Hehe, in her previous life, Ning Yao and the Seventh Prince died together, and the two were essentially in love for a lifetime. In this life, she also wants the Seventh Prince and her sister to be in love for a lifetime. However, she can't wait half a year, so she has to provoke her elder sister.

Let's see if her foolish elder sister cooperates. If she doesn't, it doesn't matter. She can just bully her a few more times. Anyway, she'll eventually make sure her crime is proven.

Following Ning Yan's servants and Ning Yao: What does "gu de bai" mean? Does it mean that your great-aunt is the best at cracking her fingers?

Ning Yao covered her fingers, her eyes filled with resentment. She was going to complain, she was going to find her father, and she was going to kill that little bitch Ning Yan!

...

After leaving the ancestral hall, Ning Yan went straight to Lanxiang Courtyard.

In the past, Xia Wenqing was good at presenting things, giving Ning Yao a lot of fine jewelry and clothing. Of course, she also secretly prepared many nice things for the original owner.

But what outsiders don't know is that, on the surface, it's still the original owner who suffers the loss.

Today, Ning Yan is going to make up for all the losses she suffered.

Upon entering Lanxiang Courtyard, the servants there were subdued by the people Ning Yan brought.

Then she led her people straight into Ning Yao's boudoir, and took out everything that the original owner had given up, ordering people to move it back to her own courtyard.

The commotion was so loud that even the old lady and Uncle Kang'an heard it and came over to inquire.

"Yan'er, what are you doing, running around your elder sister's courtyard in such a big way?"

In the old lady's eyes, her second granddaughter had always been sensible and well-behaved, so how could she suddenly do something so unruly?

Kang Anbo also scolded, "Quickly return all these things, or your reputation will be ruined if word gets out!"

“Father, what good reputation do I have left? Not to mention that the news of my sister’s abduction has already spread like wildfire in the capital, my reputation has been tarnished.”

My dear sister also told people that my mother had abused her since she was a child, and that I, the legitimate daughter of her stepmother, often insulted her for no reason, not only took her things but also hit her, breaking her fingers and slapping her face..."
