Nan Xiaoqian smiled.

She wanted to be on Nan Yan’s good favor, so she whispered to Nan Yan’s ear, “Yan’er need not feel sad for Aunt Liu. Just wait, I’ll use these two people for you to vent your anger.”

She purposely poked Nan Baoyi’s back with a brush pen, “Hey, who are you? Do you know that this is the Nan family’s academy?”

Nan Baoyi looked back.

She was born beautiful, looking more delicate like a hibiscus when her face was calm.

Nan Xiaoqian’s eyes flashed.

She inevitably felt jealous but she continued with pride, “We are all daughters of the Nan family. This person beside me is the Nan residence Third Master’s daughter of the first wife! Where did you two come from, why have you not state your family background and surname?”

Besides Nan Yan who looked stunned, the other girls were waiting to see some laughing matter.

They had not seen these two people, they must be from a normal family background who came in using connections.

How could a normal family background compared to the Nan family, from today onwards, they could bully the two of them!

Nan Baoyi looked at Nan Yan.

She lowered her head and flipped open a textbook, not concerning herself with the matter.

Nan Yan knew that Nan Xiaoqian could not afford to offend her and Zhuzhu but she still let her cause trouble. Obviously, she was using Nan Xiaoqian to do the dirty work for her.

Yes, in the previous life, she was very good at getting other people to do her dirty work.

She hid behind scenes and treated other people like a chess piece that can be manipulated in any way, achieving her goals by not getting her hands dirty.

Too bad, people who manipulate other people were bound to be manipulated by others as well.

She purposely said, “So what if you’re from Nan family, the academy pays attention to equality among everyone. If you talk properly, we are all friends. You are now talking so loudly and fiercely, Zhuzhu and I are not willing to play with all of you.”

Nan Xiaoqian looked arrogant, “Friends? We are daughters of the Nan family. This is Nan residence Third Master’s daughter of the first wife, she’s extremely dignified. What are both of your status, you think you are fit to be friends?”

She put her hands on her hips like a shrew from a marketplace, “Sisters, these two people are really annoying, why don’t we throw them out of the academy? They are not fit to be here in the Nan family’s academy!”

The group of girls was incited. Because they had more people, they went as far as to bully them without mercy.

Nan Baoyi and Nan Baozhu could not help but retreat backward.

Their newly received school books were torn into pieces and their good inkstone was smashed into the dirt.

Nan Xiaoqian triumphantly picked up that brush pen that was previously owned by Consort Xiang and ruthlessly broke it into two pieces!

She proudly threw away the broken brush pen, “Have you seen what we are capable of? If you do not wish to be chased out from the academy, both of you only need to kneel and beg for forgiveness from Yan’er. From today onwards, you will serve Yan’er as a slave in the academy and we will let you go!”

“You are too much…”

Nan Baozhu had never experienced such humiliation. She broke away from Nan Baoyi’s grip, rolled up her sleeves, and rushed towards Nan Xiaoqian.

She efficiently gave Nan Xiaoqian two slaps, “Who do you think you are, you dare to ask me and Jiaojiao to serve you as slaves?!”

Nan Xiaoqian was stunned.

She covered her face in disbelief, “You dare to hit me?! I am Nan family’s miss!”

“I don’t care which family’s miss are you from. My mother said before, Jiaojiao doesn’t have a mother, anyone who dares bully her, I, as a big sister will beat her up!”

After yelling this, she slapped her twice again!

“Ahhhh! You dare to hit me!”

Nan Xiaoqian had never experienced such bullying as well, she yelled and fought with Nan Baozhu.

Nan Baoyi stood in her spot, looking blankly.

She only realized she was crying when she touched her cheeks.

“Cousin Sister…”

She choked back with a sob.

In the previous life, she was misled by Nan Yan and thought that only Nan Yan was her direct sister, a good sister, and actually alienated her Cousin Dister, causing her to end up all alone and impoverished.

In this life, it was her turn to protect her Cousin Sister!

She suddenly yelled out, “You are not allowed to hit my Sister!”

The courage she had never had before suddenly erupted within her. She waved her child-like fists and rushed into the group of people fighting without thinking twice!

The yard turned into a mess.

Shi Yan trembled while standing under the tree, his first time seeing a group of girls fighting.

He was embarrassed to fight with little girls so he could only rush off to ask his master for instructions.

Men and women were different so they were taught separately in the family academy.

At this moment, Xiao Yi was with the other male children from the family, absent-mindedly listening to the old tutor’s lecture.

Shi Yan rushed in, swayed his head, and said in a lengthened tone “Confucius says, only women and small-minded men are hard to deal with…”

Everyone looked at him in a daze.

He continued to sway his head, “According to Internal Training, chastity, calm, dignified and sincerity are virtues of a woman…”

[Translation note: Internal Training is one of the “Four books for girls” and is a collection of four writings especially compiled for elementary learning of girls.]

Seeing that he was reciting poems non-stop, finally, someone could not help but interrupted him, “What on earth are you trying to say?!”

Shi Yan was still choosing the right words to express himself when a servant rushed in looking frightened, “Not good, there’s a fight in the backyard!”

…

When Xiao Yi hurried to the scene, the two sides of people fighting had been separated.

The little girl from his home had messy clothes and even bloodstains on her cheeks that were caused by fingernails.

She stared fiercely, protecting Nan Baozhu firmly like an animal protecting its young.

The girls on the opposite side looked much worse.

Every one of them had a bloody nose and swollen faces while they whined and cried.

Looked like the little girl did not suffer losses…

He relaxed, quietly lifted his robe, and took a seat.

Nan Xiaoqian ran towards her brother and pointed at Nan Baoyi while crying, “Big brother, this bitch bullied us, punched and kicked us! You have to stand up for us!”

Nan Yong took a glance at Nan Yan carefully.

His beloved was wearing a white dress, looking delicate and calm while sitting upright behind a writing desk. Her beautiful face was filled with fear and uncertainty.

He immediately straightened his waist and yelled out rather masculinely, “What sort of mess is this, which family did you two bitches came from, don’t you know those who studied here are all people of high rank?!”

Nan Baoyi sneered, “Your sister was the one who bullied people first, how did it become us who made a scene?”

Nan Yong smirked, “Nonsense! My sister is gentle and virtuous, she would not bully anyone. You two bitches poked the wrong bear and caused major trouble. Get your family elders here quickly and let them kowtow to beg for forgiveness!”

Nan Baoyi raised her eyebrow.

In this world, who does not have a brother?

She looked at Xiao Yi sitting at a distance having tea and her eyes teared up suddenly.

She coyly and gently said, “Second Brother…”

Everyone was stunned.

Nan Yong and Nan Xiaoqian could not believe it.

Xiao Yi was the adoptive son of the Nan residence. It was said that recently Old Madam was very keen on him and his position in the Nan residence was raised very quickly!

How could this little bitch actually call him Second Brother?!

Could it be…

Both brother and sister thought of something and their faces immediately changed to fear.

Xiao Yi carelessly touched the teacup lid, “Nan Young Master wants me to kowtow to you or the Old Madam to kowtow to you for forgiveness?”
