"Ran'er, you can't be too soft-hearted. Why are you taking her around the house yourself? She can just stay in the room."
"That's right, Ran'er, let me tell you, this kid is very evil-minded. Don't think that she won't dare to do anything to you in the house. If she plays some dirty tricks, how can you stand it?!"
"Ran'er, just listen to your brothers' advice and leave her alone."
The two brothers talked to each other, as if Liu Shaobai was the jackal who had been hungry for three days and three nights, and was about to eat Qi Ran'er alive in the next second.
The two of them seemed to have lowered their voices because of Qi Sihan's presence, but the words fell into Liu Shaobai's ears word for word.
Even Akabane heard it clearly. Akabane silently glanced at the backs of the two brothers and mourned for them in his heart.
It is your own fault and you will not live...
Listening to the two people's words of disgust towards Liu Shaobai, Qi Ran'er's eyes flashed with a smile, but her face was pure and innocent.
"Don't say this anymore. I know my brothers are doing this for my own good, but since grandpa has left Junior Brother Liu at home, I have to obey grandpa's orders. Even if he suffers some grievances, Ran'er can bear it. Besides,
, since she is at home, I think she won’t go too far.”
Qi Si Yao and Qi Si Rao couldn't help but feel even more distressed when they saw Qi Ran'er's "bearing the humiliation".
…
Fuying Villa is located in the mountains and is divided into two courtyards, front and rear.
The front yard is a place for entertaining guests, while the Qi family lives in the back yard.
Qi Ran'er led Liu Shaobai through the long corridor.
One is a beautiful lady, the other is a handsome and free-spirited young man, walking side by side, like a picture scroll.
Although they were walking together, there was more silence between the two than before in the front hall. After walking for a while, Qi Raner stopped in a garden with rockery and green trees. She pointed to the side of the garden.
A huge arch door said to Liu Shaobai:
"Junior Brother Liu, this is the connection between the front yard and the backyard of Fuying Villa. Although Junior Brother is temporarily living in the mansion, according to the rules, he is not allowed to set foot in the backyard at will. Therefore, Junior Brother, please be careful in the future and don't cross the boundary and offend Grandpa.
"
Liu Shaobai glanced at the door, but in his heart he was thinking about going into the backyard at night to see his mother.
Qi Ran'er looked at Liu Shaobai's side face, a stern look flashed across her eyes, but the emotion was quickly concealed by her, and she smiled like a flower and said:
"Junior Brother Liu, are you still blaming me?"
"How do you say this?" Liu Shaobai asked.
Qi Ran'er lowered her eyes, raised a wry smile at the corner of her mouth, and sighed softly.
"There was a misunderstanding between me and Junior Brother Liu in the Master Hall because of the Purgatory Black Dragon Finger Bone. I know that Junior Brother Liu must have thought that I was deliberately making things difficult for you, but... I didn't mean that..."
Qi Ran'er slowly raised her eyes, looking at the rockery and stream, her voice helpless and pitiful.
"It's not my intention not to let Junior Brother Liu take the Purgatory Black Dragon Fingerbone, but Grandpa's intention..."
"Oh?" Liu Shaobai looked at Qi Ran'er calmly.
Qi Ran'er said: "I have told Junior Brother Liu about the origin of the Purgatory Black Dragon Finger Bone. Although grandpa agreed to give it to you, it was only because you had merit and spoke in front of everyone. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, grandpa had no choice but to give it to you."
I shouldn’t give it. But giving this thing to you has pierced a thorn in Grandpa’s heart..."
"Junior Brother Liu, you are young and promising, and you have made great achievements as soon as you entered the master hall. You could have taken this opportunity to show off your skills at Fuying Villa, but why did you waste this great opportunity for a useless Purgatory Black Dragon Fingerbone?
