Chapter 367 Plastic Sisters
After Li Ruoxue entered, she pretended to be pretentious. As she walked, she realized something was wrong and accidentally stepped on a toad, slipping and falling. As she fell, she found more toads rushing towards her. One of them even jumped onto her chest, rolling its big, bulging eyes and staring at her.
"Aaaaaah!"
Another scream erupted.
Lin Yuesha laughed until her stomach cramped, but she couldn't show it, and felt extremely uncomfortable holding it in.
No wonder Granny Fang always said that well-mannered young ladies would never casually show their emotions; they were just living puppets.
"Haha, Li Ruoxue, you're so lucky."
Zhao Fundie learned yesterday that Li Ruoxue and Bai Dingfeng were getting engaged. She was so angry that she ate two extra bowls of rice that night. She felt that Bai Gongzi was not worth it and was holding a grudge. Now that she saw Li Ruoxue in trouble, she immediately mocked her.
"Li Ruoxue, Zhao Fendie, you two stand aside."
Granny Fang was peeking from under a big tree when she saw the two men making a fool of themselves, so she quickly stepped forward.
The two ignorant and arrogant girls, both with wicked intentions, schemed against Lin Yuesha. The master ordered that they be punished severely, and Lin Yuesha, who had many tricks up her sleeve, was just looking for an opportunity to use them.
"Granny Fang!"
Zhao Fundie instantly woke up from her dream and subconsciously tried to justify her actions.
"Trying to find an excuse now? Too late."
Granny Fang didn't give Zhao Fendie a chance at all and directly told her to shut up. Such discipline from a girls' school made people laugh at the girls' school for having no rules.
If they had just entered the girls' school, it would be fine, but after more than a month they still hadn't made any progress, or rather, they had become complacent. Granny Fang would never let them off easily.
Li Ruoshuang felt a strange sense of pleasure as she stood to the side.
The two sisters had just entered together, and she habitually followed behind, like a little maid. Yan's words had made her very uncomfortable, and she was just wondering whether she should go to the front to defend herself when she heard Li Ruoxue's scream.
She was careful about her words and actions, trying her best not to make any mistakes.
"Granny Fang, you must have mistaken me for someone else. I am Ruoshuang."
Granny Fang's punishments were endless, and she seemed to find pleasure in tormenting the young ladies. At first, when Lin Yuesha was standing with a feather duster on her head, Li Ruoxue was gloating on the side. Soon it was her turn, and she was left standing motionless with a basin of hot water on her head, enduring all kinds of torture.
Li Ruoxue realized the problem was serious and habitually shifted the blame onto Li Ruoshuang.
The two sisters look exactly alike, so even Granny Fang probably couldn't tell them apart. She'll try to exonerate herself first.
Standing behind Li Ruxue, Li Ruoshuang curled her lips into a mocking smile, feeling increasingly guilty for her concessions over the past ten years. This was her sister, her own sister, who always wanted to blame her when things went wrong.
I remember when I was little, Li Ruoxue broke her mother's bracelet. When her mother questioned her, Li Ruoxue said that she had broken it. Because of this, Li Ruoshuang was disliked by her mother.
Li Ruoxue was the one who made the mistake, but in the end, she was the one who was punished.
For so many years, Li Ruoshuang has suffered injustice, but her sister always says that they are sisters and that she shouldn't take it so seriously, so she has been fooled for so many years.
Li Ruoshuang pondered Yan's words carefully all night.
If Li Ruoxue gets this marriage and puts pressure on me, not only will I have no status in the family, but I will also be looked down upon by Li Ruoxue forever.
Therefore, after much thought, Li Ruoshuang had a bold idea in mind. Originally, she was used to being bullied and could never stand up for herself, always hesitant and indecisive.
Ah, I knew I couldn't be soft-hearted towards Li Ruoxue.
"Li Ruoxue, do you think I'm too old and blind to tell you sisters apart?"
Granny Fang was furious. It was simply intolerable that her younger sister would try to take the blame for her mistake.
In the past, Granny Fang would have been too lazy to expose them, as long as someone was punished. But now it's different. Her master has given her orders to accelerate the sowing discord between the two sisters.
"You're the older sister, yet you're thinking of making your own younger sister take the blame? I think you've wasted your time learning manners."
Granny Fang scolded Li Ruoxue, and Li Ruoxue couldn't stand it. What was wrong with her letting her younger sister take the blame? She was the most favored one in the family and was about to become the daughter-in-law of the Bai family. What kind of family could her younger sister marry into? Maybe her mother would marry her younger sister to a lowly merchant.
Although they were sisters, their paths diverged completely.
"Sister, I..."
Li Ruoshuang stepped forward and said to Granny Fang, "Granny Fang, it's my fault for not helping my sister in time."
A dark glint flashed in Li Ruoshuang's eyes. Since she had been playing the pitiful little thing for so long, why not continue to pretend? Yesterday, Yan Shi kept her to talk, which had already aroused Li Ruoxue's suspicion.
When Li Ruoxue asked, she lied and said that Madam Yan had asked her sister about her preferences.
Hmph, Li Ruoxue actually believed it; she's a stupid, idiotic idiot.
"What do you mean, 'you'? It's all your fault!"
Since she couldn't escape punishment anyway, and Granny Fang had seen through her scheme, Li Ruoxue now cursed without any restraint. Li Ruoshuang lowered her eyes and remained silent, tears welling up in her eyes.
The other young ladies who entered saw this scene and, though they couldn't openly side with Li Ruoshuang, they secretly despised Li Ruoxue.
This kind of person is hopeless. It's one thing to be arrogant and domineering outside, but he's also a bully at home, using his own sister to elevate himself.
The other ladies went back to their rooms to tidy up. Bai Youran had arrived earlier than Lin Yuesha and had already made the bed.
"Sister Bai."
Lin Yuesha greeted Bai Youran, but the mutual scheming between them left her slightly disappointed. After careful consideration, she realized that Bai Youran was not Jiang Baozhu, and their relationship would not be very close. If their own interests were involved, they would immediately become fake friends.
"Sister Yue Sha, you've arrived."
Bai Youran's smile was forced as she nodded to Lin Yuesha.
"By the way, where did Young Master Bai go that day? He even used my elder brother as an excuse."
Lin Yuesha took the initiative to bring it up, giving Bai Youran a chance to make up a lie.
"I don't know either."
Bai Youran shook her head, changing the subject to ask what had happened outside the door, without mentioning Bai Dingfeng at all. Lin Yuesha knew perfectly well that he was making up an excuse to lie, so it was better not to say anything.
"It was Li Ruoxue. She tripped on a toad and fell, but then blamed it on Li Ruoshuang."
Lin Yuesha pursed her lips. Li Ruoxue always managed to surprise her, and she couldn't wait to see her make a fool of herself.
She tried to probe Bai Youran, but Bai Youran clearly understood the hidden meaning in Lin Yuesha's words and kept quiet about it.
During her few days at the girls' school, Li Ruoxue became increasingly arrogant, completely disregarding the other young ladies. While the girls didn't say anything to her face, they spoke of her behind her back, expressing their deep disgust.
Li Ruoshuang witnessed all of this. Three days later, someone brought a message that Madam Yan had commissioned someone to make an identical ruby bracelet, and instructed Li Ruoshuang to keep it safe.
The moment Li Ruoshuang received the ruby bracelet, her resolve strengthened; it was time for her to take action.
