Xia Tian saw Shen Lan glaring at her, and fearfully took another step closer to Shen Nian.
Shen Nian watched Xia Tian’s movements and stared at Shen Lan with cold eyes.
Seeing her elder brother's cold gaze, Shen Lan's heart trembled. She quickly adjusted her facial expression and stood with her head lowered.
Seeing that Chen Lan did not talk back, Marquis Wu'an relaxed his expression and called two maids over, asking them to watch the two of them kneel in the ancestral hall and copy the Heart Sutra as punishment.
I'll be there soon.
After the two men entered the ancestral hall, the maid placed the futon, writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone. After watching the two men kneel on the futon and begin copying, she left the hall, locked the door to the outside, and then stood upright on each side like door gods.
When Shen Lan saw that the maid had left and she and Xia Tian were the only ones left in the ancestral hall, she immediately turned hostile.
"You damn girl, you actually dared to sue me. Are you tired of living?"
"Who are you talking about, you little bitch?" Xia Tian asked her coldly.
"I'm talking to you, you little bitch. Don't you understand?" Shen Lan pointed at Xia Tian angrily.
"I'm sorry, I only understand human language."
"You, you're looking for a beating, right? How dare you say I'm not a human being?" Shen Lan was originally kneeling next to Xia Tian. Upon hearing this, he immediately raised his hand and slapped him.
Xia Tian was waiting for this opportunity. Seeing that Shen Lan was about to hit someone, he sneered, raised his left hand, grabbed Shen Lan's hand, and slapped him with his right hand.
"Pa!" A crisp slap sounded in the empty ancestral hall, and instantly stunned the people who were just making a fuss.
Chen Lan was stunned by Xia Tian's slap and didn't react for a long time.
It was not until he felt a burning pain on his face that he realized he had been beaten by a wild girl whom he looked down upon.
With a scream, he rushed over.
The two of them were already kneeling, and Xia Tian just sat down on his knees after slapping Chen Lan.
Seeing Shen Lan rushing over to hit someone again, Xia Tian sat down on the mat, raised his foot, and kicked Shen Lan as he approached.
Before Chen Lan could get close, Xia Tian kicked her two or three meters away and she fell directly to the ground.
Of course, Xia Tian didn't dare to use her full strength. She held back when she raised her foot, otherwise, with her strength, she could kick the cow to death.
Of course, the same applies when you slap someone.
When Shen Lan came to his senses again, he realized that he couldn't beat this damn girl at all, and now he felt pain all over his body.
This made the eldest daughter, who usually lived a life of luxury and was arrogant, very angry, and she immediately started crying shrilly.
Unfortunately, the gate was some distance away from where they were kneeling. Although the two maids guarding the gate heard the commotion in the ancestral hall, they could not hear what was being said.
So the two of them didn't care.
Even if they heard it, they would not care because the master was inside. Besides, in their minds, only the Third Miss bullied others, and they would never think that the Third Miss was bullied by others.
Who cares? The Crown Prince’s wife really has no status in this family, and she deserves to be bullied.
The two maids were pretending to be deaf and dumb outside. Shen Lan watched for a long time but no one came in. She became even angrier and kicked the low table in front of her to the ground, and the table and the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone were scattered all over the floor.
But he was smarter this time and didn't dare to kick Xia Tian.
After kicking over the table, she went out directly. She wanted to find the old lady and her mother, and let them make the decision for her and teach this dead girl a lesson.
I didn't feel it when I was angry just now, but now that I've calmed down a bit, I feel a burning pain on my face and the place where I was kicked.
Chen Lan touched her burning face and wondered if the slap she had just received had disfigured her. Why did it hurt so much?
He walked to the door, banged on it and shouted angrily, "Open the door, I want to go out to find my wife."
The two maids outside the door quickly replied, "Miss San, the Marquis said it would take three days. You can't go out before that time."
"Open the door quickly! That damn girl hit someone. I need to ask the old lady to take charge."
The two maids looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief.
But this person was notoriously powerful, so he could only explain gently, "Miss Third, it's not that we don't want to let you out, it's the Marquis' order that we have to obey. Please forgive me, Miss Third!"
Chen Lan's maid guarding the door refused to open it, so she kicked the door in anger. Well, her foot started to hurt.
She immediately started cursing in frustration, "Open the door quickly, or you'll be in trouble when I get out."
The two maids were a little scared at this time. They didn't dare to offend the Third Miss. Liu was the mistress of the house, so they could only open the door. However, as soon as the door opened, Shen Lan kicked out and knocked one of the maids to the ground.
"Get out of here!"
After saying that, she walked out of the yard and headed towards her mother's yard.
Xia Tian saw Chen Lan leave, thinking that he had gone to get help, so he knelt down again, arranged the papers and began to copy the Heart Sutra.
She was moving quickly now. She had already finished copying an article before Shen Lan came back.
Over there, Shen Lan stormed into her mother's yard. Qiuyue, who was directing the maids in the yard, was startled to see the Third Young Lady coming. She hurried to Liu's room, "Madam, the Third Young Lady is here."
Liu was sitting on the couch with her eyes closed, letting the maid massage her shoulders. When she heard this, she opened her eyes immediately and looked towards the door.
Chen Lan just walked in and made eye contact with Liu.
When Chen Lan saw Liu, he opened his mouth and started crying, "Mom, that dead girl hit me." As he spoke, he threw himself into Liu's arms. Liu had just stood up from the soft couch when she was pounced by Chen Lan. She lost her balance and almost fell down.
After steadying himself, he asked in confusion, "Lan'er, weren't you kneeling in the ancestral hall as punishment? Why did you come back? If your father finds out, he'll punish you again."
