"Is Master awake?!"
At Pan Cheng's residence, Pan Ling, who had just woken up, couldn't wait to jump up upon hearing the news. Before she was even properly dressed, she went to find her teachers' wives to confirm the situation.
"OK."
Xia Wuyou and his companions were guests here, and they nodded slightly upon hearing this.
"That's great, that's wonderful..."
Little Ling pinched herself excitedly, and only after confirming it wasn't a dream did she laugh, "I'm going to see him!"
"return."
Xia Wuyou grabbed her arm. "Let's go later. It's not a good time now."
"Hey, why?"
The foolish apprentice was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
"Because someone was with him... no, it's that as soon as some people woke up, they rushed into other people's houses."
Xia Xiaomao puffed out her cheeks sourly, "Then they just close the door and do whatever they want, regardless of spring, summer, autumn, or winter."
I'm so angry! I should have thought of that sooner!
She hadn't really paid much attention to it, since Xie Qingyan hadn't woken up yet... but at this close range, she could definitely hear whatever was going on inside.
Especially since she saw Ye Shanshan being kicked out, it was obvious what Xu Shi and Xie Qingyan were doing.
Hmph! You did that kind of thing right after waking up, you have no shame at all!
If you're going to do it, do it with me... No wonder that jerk was so coy with both me and Jiang Chengcheng before, he was saving it all for your fiancée, huh?!
You fickle, greedy thing, you should just die!
"Ah...oh."
Xia Wuyou's words were veiled, but Pan Ling, with her wicked heart, was not so oblivious as to not understand them, and immediately realized what he meant.
Just thinking about it made her blush unconsciously. Ugh, what a perverted teacher…
Moreover, in that case...
"So, should we call her Master Xie from now on?"
The foolish apprentice blurted out instinctively, realizing that calling her Aunt Xie anymore would be inappropriate...
"Um?"
Before she could finish speaking, Xia Wuyou, who was still jealous, glared at her.
"...But no matter what, Madam Xia is the best madam!"
Pan Ling was startled by the glare and, realizing something was wrong, quickly and timidly pledged her loyalty.
Goodness, even when Master was swallowed by the Sea God, Xia Shi Niang's reaction was no more than this.
How scary, boohoo...
"oh?"
Before Xia Xiaomao could say anything, Jiang Chengcheng leaned over, chuckled, and pinched her cheek, "Then isn't Jiang Shiniang the best Shiniang?"
"No, no, that's not true, Madam Jiang is too..."
The foolish apprentice was at a loss, his face was being pinched and he couldn't even speak clearly, looking like he was about to cry.
"Ouch."
Xia Wuyou nodded, "Your ability to be fickle is indeed comparable to your master's... Then let's make it clear, who is the best master's wife?"
"I……"
Pan Ling had no idea how to answer this question. She really wanted to cry. Why are you being so sarcastic, Pan Xiaoling!
My mentor is such a bad mentor! He taught me so much, but at least he can teach me how to handle this situation! *sobs*
To be fair, neither Xia Wuyou nor Jiang Chengcheng are much older than Pan Ling in terms of age. So, they definitely don't qualify as "master's wife"; "senior sister" would be a more accurate description.
But these two had long since become completely corrupted under Xu Shi's influence; in the parlance of fantasy novels, they were little demonesses. How could a naive and innocent disciple like him be a match for them? He could only be molded and torn to pieces...
She didn't even realize that the two mistresses weren't targeting her at all, but rather her wicked master—as the saying goes, a disciple pays for a master's debt; if you can't beat Xu Shi, can't you beat him?
"Oh dear, poor Xiaoling."
Pan Feng, who was playing chess with Xia Ke'an nearby, sighed upon seeing this.
But she didn't mean to break up the fight; it was just playful fighting. How could it possibly lead to someone's death?
On the contrary, she thought it was quite good, better than her sister locking herself in her room every day and not talking to anyone.
Master seems very happy... Why don't you make a sacrifice for this?
"It seems so..."
The older woman readily agreed, blinking her watery eyes as she asked, "Junior Sister Xiaofeng, what does it mean when you close a small door and it becomes a unified whole, regardless of spring, summer, autumn, or winter?"
"Forehead……"
Pan Feng didn't know how to answer. Compared to her sister, she was much more innocent and knew nothing about those dirty things.
But no matter how she thought about it, she didn't think it was a good word, so she shook her head seriously, "Children shouldn't ask such things, it will make them go astray."
Why did it turn bad?
The white-haired little girl persisted, her innocent face revealing her continued questioning.
"Well... just don't ask anymore!"
Pan Feng couldn't keep up with the conversation, so he simply changed the subject and pushed the snacks on the table in front of her, "Here, let's continue playing chess. There are still snacks, you can have them all."
"Okay, okay."
Xia Ke'an nodded as if she understood, then pushed the chess piece forward a step as she spoke, and then clapped her hands triumphantly and laughed, "Junior Sister Xiao Feng, you lost! Come on, put the note on me!"
"I lost again?!"
Pan Feng was startled and looked down to see that it was indeed a dead piece. But then he thought about it again and felt something was wrong. Was this how it was set up? It didn't feel like it...
But as the saying goes, you have to catch a thief red-handed. Even if she suspected that Xia Ke'an had switched the chess pieces, she couldn't say it. Besides, the punishment was nothing serious, just a sticker... Oh well.
She leaned closer, letting the older woman add another line to her face.
Looking at her reluctant and silly junior sister, the white-haired loli was laughing so hard she was rolling on the floor inside.
She was the one who switched the chess pieces, otherwise why would she choose this moment to distract her?
