Wife is fierce 78 heart-to-heart talk

  Yang Lan also listened with great interest, occasionally interrupting to ask questions, "Is Sixth Brother's skill learned well? Has his bad habit been corrected? Third Aunt must be overjoyed!"

  "Isn't that right! Sixth Brother is quite impressive now, I heard he suffered a lot when he first started out, but in the military camp, they've always respected people with real abilities and skills. Sixth Brother followed them, learned from them, and worked hard to train himself. After two years of effort, he's become one of the members of the Imperial City Guards, responsible for protecting the military camp. This is all his own achievement, not something arranged by his family. I heard it was his superiors who saw his potential and actively recommended him. Whatever the case, my mother was overjoyed when she heard!" Third Sister's face lit up with pride as she talked about her brother, and her heart felt especially happy.

  Yang Lan was also delighted, pulling the hand of San Jie and sighing, sincerely smiling and praising: "San Jie, you and San Bo Mu have finally made it through, and will definitely get better and better in the future. At that time, San Jie won't have to worry about not having brothers to support her!"

  Third sister's tears welled up in her eyes, she nodded vigorously with excitement, but couldn't say a word. All these years, her father's indifference and selfishness, her mother's tears, and her brother's lack of progress had made her feel hopeless. Now that things were taking a turn for the better, and life was full of hope again, how could she not be grateful to her aunt?

  Yang Lan didn't interrupt her, she still understood a bit about San Jie's temper, actually she was just a spoiled little girl, strong-willed and loved to compete for attention, but didn't have a bad heart. At this time, what she needed was just companionship and listening, not comfort or sympathy.

  For a long time, the third sister raised her face, took a deep breath, and proudly smiled: "I finally have a backing! Even if I leave my mother's house, I don't have to worry about my mother, at worst, there is still my brother to support my mother! Good little sister. In the past, it was my fault, don't hold it against me. Apart from grandmother's favoritism, I really don't know what else I can grasp to make myself feel more at ease!" Tears freely flowed across her delicate and strong-willed face. The smile on her face was indeed confident and determined.

  Yang Lan suddenly discovered that the feng shui of the Yang family was really good, and the boys and girls were extremely handsome and beautiful. The third sister smiled brightly, and it was indeed a hundred beauties born!

  She thought so and murmured, "Third sister, you're really beautiful!" The beautiful water apricot big eyes stared at her in a daze, the rounded eyes with a few more silly and innocent.

  Ming Wen rarely saw Yang Lan with such a silly and confused expression, couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter, stretched out her hand to pinch her pale little face. "Sixth sister, you're so adorable! Hahaha!" The bright laughter filled the entire room, making the maids outside also curious, sneaking a peek inside.

  Yang Lan covered her face with her hands, glaring at her, "Third sister, I praised you for being beautiful, but you still bully me, you really are...!" She was furious, pouting and staring at her fiercely.

  "Haha! Sixth sister you're so much fun!" Ming Yu's mood brightened up again, happily playing and frolicking with Yang Lan.

  The two of them made a ruckus for a while and then collapsed onto the kang, panting. After catching her breath, Third Sister let out a sigh and said: "These past two years, Grandmother has become increasingly eccentric, not even letting me near her. All her daily needs are taken care of by Eldest Sister, no one else is allowed to touch anything. It's as if someone wants to harm her."

  The three girls' faces couldn't help but show some desolation, after all, their grandmother had doted on them for a while, and suddenly being cold-shouldered without any reason would make anyone's heart ache.

  Yang Lan understood that her third sister was spoiled by the old lady since she was a child, but now suddenly ignored her. It was an outsider who took away her favor, and it happened when she didn't do anything wrong. In her heart, she couldn't accept it.

  "But what's the reason it can't be done?"

  The third girl looked at Yang Lan with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Don't you know? You and your brother ran off together, leaving my cousin to stay home and cause trouble. She's been fooling around with our grandmother all day, and no one can persuade her otherwise. I tried to advise her a few times, but as a result, Grandmother got angry with me!"

  Yang Lan also raised her head, a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes staring wide, "It's not that I'm looking down on people, do you think she can take on the future of the Jingguo Hou Mansion? Can she handle relationships with the clan leader and relatives well? How haven't I helped her, good words and bad words I've all said, she herself doesn't listen, walking a single path to darkness, what can I do?"

  Three girls have been carefully trained by Zhang for more than three years, and naturally they understand things. Otherwise, they would not be recognized by Zhang. Thinking of her cousin's habit of crying at the drop of a hat, it really makes people feel disgusted. Several times, she had misunderstood her grandmother, thinking that she couldn't hold back her temper, but after hearing this, Zhang smiled and said that this young lady was going the wrong way, let her keep her distance!

  She herself had a detailed discussion with her mother about the origin of the dispute, and even her mother said that she was not honest in her heart, and asked her to stay away from her. If Auntie can tell lies, can't her own mother also deceive her? What else is there to say, isn't it all clear now?!

  The third girl shook her head and said, "You'd better be careful too. My sister has changed so much that I don't recognize her anymore. Several times, I saw her staring in the direction of the princess's mansion with a gloomy gaze that sent chills down my spine! Don't laugh at me, but I've been wronged by my sister several times, and our grandmother even thought I was bullying her and ignored me. But I couldn't explain myself clearly, and everyone saw her standing there crying in front of me, while I stood with my neck stiff, glaring at her with tears in my eyes. I said I was innocent, but no one believed me - I'm the one who's been wronged!"

  Thinking of these annoying things makes her feel suffocated, but Auntie said that Second Sister and the others used to suffer injustices like this too, and only after experiencing it once did they realize how ridiculous and foolish they were before.

  My own sister doesn't know how to get close to me, but instead gets close to this kind of white-eyed wolf, and in the end comes back to bite me, I really think I'm stupid beyond help, deserving of such treatment!

  Yang Lan saw that San Jie's face didn't look good, so she quickly changed the subject. "San Jie shouldn't be sad anymore, it's a good thing that you've gained Mother's approval now. What more could you want? But how did Biao Jie become like this?" She shook her head and sighed.

  "Hum! What a complete fake, during the New Year's visit, the Li family came to invite her back, but she put on airs and thought she was one of the Yang family's daughters. She even gave the Yang family's daughter a condescending look and ordered around the fourth and fifth sisters. It's just that others didn't want to bother with her, so they avoided her. She thought she had the upper hand! To think that she wouldn't even give her own aunt any face, calling her a fake is giving her too much credit." The third sister looked at her with disdain.

  Yang Lan also nodded in agreement. No matter what, the Li family didn't treat her unfairly, and they even raised her, right? How could she give her own aunt a hard time? Doesn't she know her own surname? You might as well be surnamed Li too, you're not surnamed Yang after all, how can you use the Yang family's power to bully your own relatives?

  "Never mind, you'd better keep a distance from her too!" Yang Lan also patted San Gu Niang's hand to comfort her.

  "I know, I'm a straightforward person, my emotions are written all over my face. She cries at the drop of a hat and looks so pitiful that people who don't know us might think I've been bullying her! Now I see her coming and I deliberately take a detour to avoid her. Can't afford to provoke her, might as well just steer clear!" Third Sister let out a disgruntled sigh.

  Yang Lan pulled out the yellow embroidered pillow with a pattern of peach blossoms from under her and handed it to Third Young Miss, saying seriously, "Just avoid it and that's all. You're the legitimate daughter of the Yang family, and you're competing with a niece who is living under your roof for attention. If word gets out, no one will say anything bad about her, they'll only say that you don't understand things. As a legitimate daughter, we should have the demeanor and bearing of a legitimate daughter. Just smile and let it go, and she'll be the one who's criticized for being petty. If you argue with her, regardless of who's right or wrong, you'll already lose and become the lesser one."

  Three girls met like old friends, their eyes shining brightly. "Isn't that right! I've been taken advantage of several times already. My aunt has told me several times, but I just can't hold back my temper. You say she's got nothing better to do than cry all day? It's like she's a tear bag or something. One little thing and she bursts into tears, how annoying! And every day she wears those white clothes, it's gotten to the point where I feel sick when I see that color!" She said with a face full of frustration and resentment.

  "Haha! Third sister, you're really interesting!" Yang Lan couldn't help but hold her belly and laugh. She even hated the color white, this third sister was indeed a straightforward person. But people like her didn't need to be worried about too much, at least she was good when she was good, and bad when she was bad, very easy to distinguish.

  It turns out that Li's sister is now looking at me with caution, I'm probably the person she hates the most. She can't say that I obstructed her relationship with my brother!

  The two of them chatted until noon, and Yang Lan was having so much fun that she invited San Gu Niang to stay, "It's already noon, why don't you just not go back? I'll send someone to tell San Aunt, you can have lunch here with me. My brother is never home, it's just me in the whole mansion, it's too boring! You should keep me company!"

  The three girls were delighted to be valued by others, and immediately nodded in agreement. "That's great, I'm too lazy to go back, so I'll just eat here. I want to eat shrimp balls and drunken shrimp, the rest is up to you!" She chuckled and ordered two dishes she loved.

  Seeing her so generous and unceremonious, Yang Lan was delighted and immediately instructed Biyue, "Go tell the kitchen to add two more dishes, make an eight-treasure tofu and a fish jerky, and other light vegetarian dishes will do, don't put too much oil, it's greasy!"

  "Alright! I'll go and tell the kitchen right away, it'll be ready soon!" Biyue received the order and immediately went to make arrangements.

  The third girl pulled Yang Lan along, curiously saying, "Good sister, I saw the screen you gave to your aunt earlier, and it's really beautiful. Can you teach me how to make one too?"

  Yang Lan gave her mother a six-paneled double-sided screen made of purple sandalwood, embroidered with the wonders of Huangshan and Yunshan, which she personally sketched and embroidered by hand. It took more than a year to complete, and it can be said that it is a masterpiece. Master Li said this counts as graduation, but still needs more practice.

  Yang Lan didn't hide her private thoughts, "That's the double-sided embroidery taught by Master Li, it's not that difficult, it's just too time-consuming. If you want to learn, come here every day and I'll teach you for an hour, but we have to start with the thread lines! This is about color difference, Master Li is a strict person, even a slight mistake in color won't do."

  Three girls listened and felt dizzy, but still reluctantly agreed. "You just teach me some basics! Double-sided embroidery can't be learned, it's nothing, I just want to improve my poor needlework skills, I'll learn from you, no need to bother Master Li!" After finishing, she patted her chest with a lingering fear, which made Yang Lan laugh loudly on the table.
