Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After entering, he saw Yang Wanning dressed plainly and sitting in the courtyard, embroidering a purse. He was stunned for a moment and greeted her as he walked over. “Sis.”
“Chenglin, why are you here? I was just about to look for you.” Yang Wanning was surprised and handed the purse to him. “See if you like it.”
Yang Chenglin nodded and took it, but he didn’t reply. Instead, he looked at the person beside her.
Yang Wanning, shocked by his intentions, got up and brought him back to her room. She asked Chun Xi to stand guard outside and whispered, “What’s wrong?”
Yang Chenglin then handed the inkstone to her and told her about his bet with Gu Chengrui and the conversation between his stepmother and her son. “Sister, is this a scheme from them?”
Yang Wanning was pleasantly surprised by this, as she was still thinking about how to expose the true colors of Mrs. Cui to her brother. She did not expect her cousin to solve it this quickly.
It seemed that she had to change her way of thinking. Instead of passively defending against their schemes, she needed to take the initiative to attack.
At the thought of this, her expression turned solemn as she explained to him in a low voice what they were doing—putting him on a pedestal and waiting for him to fall.
Ultimately, she said, “Some people’s words are harsh, but their intention is kind.
“Mrs. Cui is the opposite. On the surface, they treated you well, but in the dark, they wanted to raise you into a good-for-nothing.
“In the end, when Father can’t take your attitude anymore, he will give up on you. You won’t even be able to return home at that time.”
“What a vicious woman.” Yang Chenglin gritted his teeth at that.
No wonder Mrs. Cui repeatedly warned Yang Chengsen not to end up this way.
He quickly asked his sister, “But why is she so harsh to you?”
“First, I’m old enough not to fall for her tricks.
“Also, I’m a girl, so Father won’t pay much attention to me.” Yang Wanning sighed and continued, “You just have to remember that she has a son and a daughter. Even if she’s good to us, she definitely has a motive.
“But you’re still young, so you have to protect yourself.
“So you just have to act like before and do what you should do.
“If he could take the opportunity to ask for more things or silver from her, then secretly save them.
“But you have to know what to do. Study hard and strive to learn more skills. It’s best if you can always surpass Yang Chengsen in your studies, as only then will Father not give up on you.
“After a few years, I’ll have a firm foothold in my household. Only then can we siblings be able to confront them openly.”
“I understand, Sis. I’ll be more careful in the future.”
“Remember, you can bully Yang Chengsen, but don’t overdo it.
“Once you overdo it, Mrs. Cui will think you are a threat. She will then suppress you or even kill you.”
“She wouldn’t dare, would she?”
“There’s nothing she doesn’t dare to do. Just be careful in the future.
“Also, when you interact with your friends and servants, you should pay more attention to them. After observing them for some time, you should see if they are worth making friends with. Don’t simply trust others.”
“I understand.”
Yang Wanning heaved a sigh of relief and teased, “You lost again this time. It looks like you have to be Chengrui’s errand boy for five years.”
“I’m still studying. I don’t have time.” Yang Chenglin spoke proudly.
“But you have holidays.
“I think you can spend a day with him and learn something from him.
“Based on my observations, the couple are quite good people and sincere in helping us. At the very least, they don’t have the intention to harm us.”
Yang Chenglin hesitated momentarily and said, “Next time, when there’s another holiday, 1 will go and take a look. Cousin might not have time to bring me along now..”
