Chapter 7 You are becoming more and more promising—sister, you are really bold!
"Yueyue, did you hear what your brother said?"
Lan Xiyue saw that he really cared about her, and she also thought that this was ancient times, and a woman's reputation was the most important. Although she, a modern person, didn't care, she also knew the principle of following the crowd.
Lan Xiyue nodded and said, "Brother, I know I was wrong. I won't do this again in the future."
At worst, I can tell it later when there’s no one around, Lan Xiyue added silently in her heart.
"Yueyue looks very beautiful today. Don't wear those colorful dresses in the future. They don't suit you." Lan Shenye looked at her cautiously after saying this, fearing that her sister would be angry.
Lan Xiyue nodded, "Well, I don't want those anymore in the future. But I only have those clothes and nothing else."
Lan Shenye was delighted, "Xiao Muzi, go to the Nishang store immediately and buy some plain clothes for the young lady."
Xiao Muzi scratched his head and said, "Ah, Master, I am a man and I don't know how to choose women's clothes, let alone a dress worn by a young lady. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate if others knew about it."
Lan Shenye frowned. He was happy about his sister's change and didn't think about this for a moment. He immediately took out a hundred silver notes from his pocket and handed it to Chuchun. Anyway, he didn't dare to let his sister go out to choose by herself. It would be bad if she met the Regent.
"Chuchun, go buy some plain and nice dresses for the young lady."
Chuchun took it with a smile, "Yes, I will go now."
Lan Shenye sat down aside and took a sip of the tea on the stone table. Lan Xiyue blinked. Why didn't her adopted brother leave yet?
Before, his sister had quarreled with him and would not let him into her yard. Today, it was rare that his sister listened to him, so he naturally wanted to stay and talk to his sister more.
Elsewhere, Lan Zhenrong had just finished his morning court session and left the palace with the old Duke. An Yi approached him and said, "Old Duke, Marquis, my master said that if Miss Lan dares to speak nonsense again, she will be killed!"
After he finished speaking, An Yi immediately slipped away.
The old Duke and Lan Zhenrong looked puzzled. Yun Hai stepped forward and said, "Father, that was a secret guard from the Prince Regent's Palace, right? What did he mean by that?"
The old Duke narrowed his eyes, not knowing what it meant for a moment.
At this time, the servant whispered a few words in front of them.
Several people's faces turned black, and Lan Zhenrong's chest heaved with anger. How dare this evil girl?
The old Duke glanced at Lan Zhenrong unhappily, "How do you discipline Yueyue? Why is she becoming more and more out of line? Even the Regent dares to provoke her?"
"Father-in-law, I will go back now and discipline this evil girl."
The old Duke snorted, waved his sleeves and got into the sedan chair.
Yunhai also shook her head. Her niece was so bold!
Lan Zhenrong returned to the Marquis' Mansion and came to Xilingyuan angrily.
"Evil girl!"
Lan Xiyue looked calmly at Lan Zhenrong, who had an angry face, and curled her lips. Trouble is coming.
Lan Shenye quickly stood up and said, "Father, my sister knows she is wrong."
"Ye'er, go away. Today, your father will teach this evil girl a lesson. Someone, come and ask for the family law."
Steward Lin sighed and handed over the whip.
Lan Zhenrong took the whip and was about to hit Lan Xiyue, but Lan Shenye stopped him and said, "Father, give my sister one more chance. She really knows she's wrong and won't act like that again."
Lan Shenye turned around and looked at Lan Xiyue, "Sister, quickly admit your mistake to father!"
"Evil girl!" Lan Zhenrong roared, as if he wanted to pour out all the anger in his chest.
He pushed away Lan Shenye who was trying to stop him, with such force that Lan Shenye staggered and almost fell.
Immediately afterwards, the long whip in Lan Zhenrong's hand lashed towards Lan Xiyue like a poisonous snake coming out of a hole, with a sharp sound of wind.
Lan Xiyue stood there with a cold look in her eyes. Her movements were as fast as lightning. She quickly grabbed the whip that was about to fall on her.
The whip was so powerful that her palms began to sweat and her body trembled slightly. This body was really afraid of pain!
Lan Zhenrong's eyes widened. "You evil girl, you dare to fight back? No one can plead for her today, or I will beat her to death!" His voice trembled with anger, and the muscles on his face were terribly twisted.
Lan Xiyue narrowed her eyes slightly, and exerted force with the hand holding the whip. No matter how hard Lan Zhenrong tried, he couldn't pull it out even a little bit.
"You evil girl, why don't you let me go?" There was a hint of despair in Lan Zhenrong's voice.
"Let me go so you can beat me to death? I'm not a fool." Lan Xiyue rolled her eyes, her tone very unhappy.
Lan Zhenrong's face became increasingly gloomy. He glared at Lan Xiyue as if he wanted to eat her alive.
"You...you dare to talk back?" His voice was low, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Lan Shenye stood aside, watching this scene, feeling mixed emotions.
He was with his sister just now and thought that she was listening and had changed, but how come in the blink of an eye, she started to act stupidly again?
Lan Zhenrong and Lan Xiyue were at a stalemate. Lan Shenye was getting a headache watching from the side. "Sister, don't be rude to father. Father, please forgive me one more time."
Lan Zhenrong was secretly shocked. When did this evil girl become so strong? Now he was blinded by anger and didn't care about anything else. He threw down the whip and said with gritted teeth: "Come here, give this evil girl twenty lashes."
"No, father, my sister is a girl and can't bear the beating."
"Ye'er, don't talk to her anymore. If you don't teach her a lesson today, she will go to heaven another day."
Lan Zhenrong looked at the servant behind him and said, "Why are you still standing there? Go and grab this evil girl and beat her up. Beat her up hard."
The servant was about to step forward, but Lan Xiyue waved her whip and said, "If you dare to step forward, the whip in my hand will not have eyes!"
The servants suddenly didn't dare to step forward.
Lan Zhenrong pointed at her and said, "You are rebelling against the heavens."
Lan Xiyue smiled slightly, "Father, anger is harmful to your health. You'd better calm down, otherwise you might get a brain hemorrhage by accident. It's not worth it!"
Lan Zhenrong didn't understand what cerebral hemorrhage meant. Anyway, it meant bleeding in the brain, which was not a good word. "Evil girl, are you still cursing me?"
"Father, I didn't curse you. I was just concerned about your health."
"Humph! You care about me? I'm glad you don't make me angry for one day."
Lan Xiyue blinked her innocent eyes and said, "Father, how did I make you angry? You don't like me chasing after the prince, so I don't like the prince from now on. Do you think I'm still obedient?"
Lan Zhenrong was so angry that he laughed, "You don't like the Crown Prince anymore? So you can chase the Regent? You are becoming more and more promising!"
"Father, think about it. The Regent is extremely powerful. If I can marry him, you will be his father-in-law. Then, the Marquisate will also become more powerful. Those people will definitely curry favor with you!"
Lan Shenye's mouth twitched, sister, you really dare to think so.
