Duan Xinyan's cheeks ached when she thought of Jian Ning. She rubbed them and looked at the maid Feng Zheng. "You saw her beat me that day. She slapped me several times, and you still asked me to go find her?"
Feng Zheng shrank her neck and stole a glance at her. Seeing that she didn't seem to be resisting at all, she continued, "I think she must really be the eldest daughter. She looks very similar to the princess. Don't you think so, young lady?"
"Resemble?" Duan Xinyan shook her head. "I don't think so."
Feng Zheng sighed secretly.
But the prince has not returned yet. If the second lady really does not want to marry Prince Yong, she can't think of anyone else who can stop Concubine Min except the eldest lady.
"Second Miss..."
Duan Xinyan, sitting on the embroidery cushion, turned her head and interrupted her, "Didn't you just say she was the eldest daughter? If she were the eldest daughter, my sister would be the second daughter, and I would be the third daughter."
"Yes, Third Miss!" Feng Zheng said, "I think only the eldest lady can help you right now. The other day, I saw that she not only looked like a princess, but also a bit like a prince. She looked very handsome..."
For a moment she couldn't find the word "heroic", so she changed her words and said, "Anyway, he looks like a general, yes, very general, very majestic."
"Puchi." Duan Xinyan was amused by her.
"Miss San, you smiled."
The lady was happy, so she was happy too. "Should we go find her?"
"No! I won't beg her!" Duan Xinyan stared at the bronze mirror, and the scene of Jian Ning beating her that day emerged in her mind. In fact, when she recalled it afterwards, the person she hated the most was not Jian Ning, but King Yong.
That damn prince watched her being beaten without saying a word. Even if he had spoken out to stop it and said something for her, it would have been better than standing aside with his hands folded and watching the fun.
She would rather die than marry a man like that!
If she were to marry, she wanted to marry a man like her father, who was upright and would hold her mother in his arms and love her dearly when he returned home! Even when her mother was mentally ill, her father's eyes were always full of love and affection every time he looked at her mother. She had never seen her father look at her mother with such eyes.
Clapping her hands, she stood up and said, "Little Kite, you're right. Let's go and beg her. What's there to be afraid of with a few soft words? It's better than marrying a heartless wimp!"
"Let's go find her now."
Feng Zheng responded, turned around to get her a veil, and asked the servant to drive the carriage to take them to the Huo Mansion. After the servant went forward to knock on the door and ask, the servant of the Huo Mansion came out to show them the way. The servant then drove the carriage along the alley and took them to Jian Ning's place.
"Wow, this is what they call the wooden ox, right? How magical." Duan Xinyan entered the yard and saw Jian Ning pedaling a bicycle slowly while explaining the key points to others. "I want to learn too, elder sister, please teach me."
Jian Ning hadn't expected her to come to her. It's said that those who show affection for no reason are either treacherous or thieves. She rode beside her and said in a low voice, "Don't call me that. I don't have a sister like you. Call me Miss!"
"I insist on calling you Big Sister, Big Sister! If you don't want me to call you that, that's easy. Just stretch your face over here and let me return those slaps to you, and I won't call you that anymore! Are you willing?"
Duan Xinyan deliberately said loudly.
"Are you here to cause trouble? Didn't you get beaten enough the other day?"
"I'm not looking for trouble, I need help from my elder sister. Since you used your status as my elder sister to teach me a lesson, you have to take care of my affairs. You must take care of them!"
Jian Ning narrowed her eyes and looked at her. Feng Zheng stepped forward, knelt slightly in front of Jian Ning, bowed and said, "Miss, the Third Miss really has something to ask of you. Please help the Third Miss!"
"What could she possibly ask of me?" Jian Ning handed the bicycle to a young man who had come to order one nearby. "You guys practice on yourselves first. I'll come back later."
Jian Ning glanced at Duan Xinyan as she walked towards the flower hall. Duan Xinyan didn't want to follow at first, her eyes fixed on the bicycle, unwilling to move away. Feng Zheng was so anxious that she stomped her feet repeatedly, and then she shouted to Jian Ning to wait before she followed.
She ran to the flower hall with the kite. Ding Youtian came out from the east wing. He was tired from reading and came out to stretch his legs. Duan Xinyan saw him and ran over. "Brother-in-law, ah, brother-in-law is really handsome, but I don't like handsome men."
As she spoke, she saw Jian Ning stop in front of the flower hall door, and deliberately said loudly: "Be nice to my eldest sister. Since you are my eldest brother-in-law, I still like you."
After saying that, she winked at Ding Youtian and ran towards Jian Ning with a smile.
Jian Ning rolled her eyes at her, then glared at Ding Youtian, then walked into the flower hall.
Ding Youtian didn't understand what was going on. Jian Ning had given him a dagger-like look for no reason, and he had no idea why Duan Xinyan had suddenly come running. He wanted to go to the flower hall to see what was going on, but then he changed his mind. He thought it would be best to stay out of the sisters' affairs, so as not to get into trouble and get himself into trouble.
"Sister, I didn't expect you to look so good in men's clothes. Really, I'm not lying to you, you really look good! My sister, I'm talking about my sister who has the same mother as me, also likes to wear men's clothes, and she looks good too."
Duan Xinyan is very outgoing. If she wants to please someone, she is willing to use her eloquence. After all, saying one nice word is saying it, and saying countless words is saying it. She doesn't care whether Jian Ning treats her well or not.
"What exactly are you here for? Just tell me, I have something else to do and I don't have time to listen to your nonsense!" Jian Ning said with a gloomy face.
"My mother forced me to marry Prince Yong. I didn't want to marry him."
"That's strange. You don't want to marry him?" Jian Ning was very surprised to hear this. She thought Duan Xinyan really liked Prince Yong. "You said you didn't want to marry him, but you were still talking to him so affectionately that day. Are you kidding me?"
"Eldest sister!"
"Call me Miss!"
"I don't care. I'll just call you Big Sister. Who told you to lecture me that day? I just don't want to marry him now. He watched me get beaten without saying a word. I won't marry a man like that! If you don't care, I'll die! Wait until Daddy comes back and see if he still recognizes you when he finds out."
"Then I really want to know. Thank you. You can go die now. No one will stop you." After saying this, Jian Ning stood up and was about to leave. Duan Xinyan hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Hey, you can't leave, elder sister. You really don't plan to help me? I really don't want to marry him. Please help me. Since we have the same father, elder sister, can you help me?"
Jian Ning didn't expect that she would cling to her like a piece of taffy. Frowning, she said, "What good will it be for me to help you? If I help you, what can you do for me?"
"Except for not letting me die, I will do anything you ask me to do for you, elder sister."
"I really don't have anything I need you to do for me, so you're of no use to me. If you really don't want to marry him, you might as well go beg your mother instead of begging me here."
"Oh, my mother is taking care of my uncle and has no time to pay attention to me. She even told me to get lost and said that seeing me gives her a headache!"
"Your uncle?" Jane Ning was stunned.
