Chapter 33, Sinister
Shuangxinyuan.
After Yan Yishuang came back, she told Aunt Lin what happened in class.
"Mom, elder sister is clearly jealous of me." Yan Yishuang said with a proud look on her face.
Master Qin dislikes Daohua. Not only Daohua herself feels this, but everyone else in the class has noticed it as well.
Everyone is happy to see this.
There was no way. I originally thought that Daohua must be vulgar because she grew up in the countryside. Unexpectedly, her appearance and temperament were better than theirs. Girls aged 8 or 9 love to compare with others, so naturally they don’t want to be compared.
Now that I see that my teacher doesn't like rice flowers, I can't help but feel a little gloating.
After hearing this, Aunt Lin's eyes flickered slightly. She thought for a while, waved her hand to call the maid, and whispered a few instructions to her.
Watching the maid leave, Yan Yishuang immediately came over and asked: "Mother, what did you say to Sister Xiaoxi?"
Seeing her daughter's curious eyes, Aunt Lin smiled and said, "Your father is a stickler for rules. Now that the eldest girl is so disrespectful to her teachers, Master Qin is so angry that he doesn't even want to go to class. He will definitely be angry when he finds out."
Hearing this, Yan Yishuang's eyes immediately lit up: "Dad will definitely punish Big Sister."
Soon, what happened in the classroom spread to all the rooms in the backyard of the county government office.
Second room.
Sun shook her head and smiled, "It hasn't been long since then, and trouble has broken out again. Just wait and see. When your uncle finds out, there will definitely be another good show to watch. This time, I wonder if the old lady will still protect Daohua?"
Yan Yihan looked at her mother and sister who were chatting and laughing enthusiastically, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually, this can't be blamed on Big Sister. Master Qin is indeed targeting Big Sister."
Upon hearing this, Sun's expression paused.
Sun looked at her eldest daughter. She knew her eldest daughter's temperament. Although she was kind, she would never lie.
Yan Yile also spoke up: "Mom, why do you think Master Qin doesn't like Big Sister? Actually, Big Sister is okay except that she doesn't like to talk to people."
Seeing her two daughters looking at her in confusion, Madam Sun thought for a moment and decided that it would be better to let her daughters know some things as soon as possible, so she said, "Don't you think about who invited Master Qin?"
Yan Yile said without thinking: "It's my aunt!"
Sun nodded her youngest daughter's head and said, "Your aunt is only responsible for the tuition. The reason why Master Qin came to our house to teach is because of Aunt Lin's face."
Yan Yihuan's expression changed: "My daughter now remembers that Master Qin and Aunt Lin seem to be relatives."
Sun nodded and looked at her two daughters: "Isn't it true? Master Qin and Aunt Lin are relatives. Do you think she will like your eldest sister?"
Yan Yile curled her lips and said, "I was wondering why Master Qin favored Third Sister so much. So this is what happened."
Sun: "Just keep it to yourself what happened in the classroom, don't tell anyone else. The wives and concubines of the eldest house are having a fight right now, so don't get involved."
Yan Yihan hesitated a little: "Mom, this is not good, my aunt is very good to us."
Sun glared at her. "What do you know? There's a lot going on in the backyard. Your uncle loves to write poetry and couplets, and he's a dilettante. Aunt Lin is the daughter of a scholar, well-educated and well-mannered, and she's very much in tune with your uncle."
"And your aunt was born into a merchant family. If the Yan family hadn't been so poor back then, your uncle would never have married a merchant's daughter. In this respect, Aunt Lin is much better than your aunt."
"This person's heart is always biased. Haven't you noticed over the years? Your uncle's favoritism towards Aunt Lin and her son is not a little bit. Whenever he has free time, your uncle will tutor Yishuang and Wenbin."
"Only your eldest brother has ever received this kind of treatment. That's because he's the eldest son and shoulders the mission of revitalizing the family. As for your fourth brother, have you ever seen your eldest uncle ask about his studies?"
"Whether adults or children, your uncle clearly prefers Shuangxinyuan. We, the second branch, rely on your uncle for survival, so we can't go against him."
Yan Yihan hesitated: "What about my elder sister? I think my uncle treats her very well."
Sun paused and said, "That's because your uncle feels guilty, and also because of the old lady. Even if there is some affection for a daughter who has not been raised by her since childhood, how much can it be?"
"Honestly speaking, Daohua is really good and smart. She's better than Yishuang in every way, but she's too straightforward. If she doesn't restrain herself, she'll definitely suffer."
Even though her two daughters didn't know, she knew clearly that Aunt Lin was not an easy person to deal with. Although she looked weak and gentle, she was actually a sinister person.
"Anyway, remember this: don't meddle in the affairs of the eldest wife."
Three bedrooms.
Mrs. Wu looked worried. "Daohua is used to being straightforward in the village and doesn't know how to be patient. Now that she's in the backyard of the county government, she seems out of place with the others. She's going to suffer a loss."
Yan Wentao scratched his head in annoyance. "Why are there so many troubles here? I think it's more comfortable back home. No wonder Daohua didn't want to come over when my aunt wrote to her. I don't want to either."
"Daohua used to be happy every day, but after coming here, I see she has lost weight."
Mrs. Wu sighed. She didn't like it here either. It was too tiring. She had to be very careful when talking to people. It didn't feel as comfortable as back home.
Main courtyard.
Daohua returned to her room calmly. Seeing Pingtong looking worried, she thought for a moment and asked, "How did Master Qin come to teach in our house?"
Ping Tong: "It was Aunt Lin who introduced me. It is said that Master Qin and Aunt Lin are relatives."
Hearing this, Daohua suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. I was saying that she's an external teacher who doesn't pay attention to her lessons and has nothing to do when she's full, so she's looking for trouble with me. It turns out she has someone backing her up!"
As he spoke, Daohua's eyes flashed and a sneer appeared on his face: "There is a Master Lin in the government office and a Master Qin in the backyard. My father's Concubine Lin is really capable."
Ping Tong glanced at Daohua and said, "Miss, no matter what, you shouldn't have contradicted Master Qin in public and embarrassed him. If the master knew about this, he would definitely scold you."
As soon as the voice fell, Daohua stood up and said: "Let's go to Songheyuan."
Pingtong followed behind him, the worry on her face not diminishing.
The old lady loves the eldest girl very much, but this time she contradicted the teacher and the master is going to investigate, and the old lady is afraid that she can't protect her.
In the evening, after leaving the yamen, Yan Zhigao was furious after hearing what happened in the guest hall at Aunt Lin's place. When he learned that Daohua was in the old lady's yard, he immediately walked towards Songheyuan in anger.
Outside Songhe Courtyard, Daohua watched as her stepfather entered her grandmother's yard. She walked out from beside the flowers and trees with Pingtong and Wang Maner, saying calmly, "Let's go back and eat."
Pingtong followed, hesitant to speak.
She didn't know what the eldest girl had said to the old lady, but judging from the fact that the old lady had directly dismissed tonight's dinner, the eldest girl should not be punished this time.
