“Uncle Liu, don’t worry about this. This is a grudge between me and her.”

Shangguan Qing looked at Shangguan Xuelan with an unfriendly expression and asked, “Are you worthy of being a member of the Shangguan family? You did that to my dad on purpose, didn’t you? You brought the Chen family to cause trouble!”

He wished he could cut Shangguan Xuelan into pieces. Nowadays, all the children of the same generation would laugh at Shangguan Qing for wanting to take more than 10 million yuan, as if he had never seen money before. It was simply embarrassing.

His father was indeed wrong in doing this, but the culprit was Shangguan Xuelan! If she had not deliberately used this matter to play with his father, his father would never have taken such a path. He clenched his fists tightly. Looking at Shangguan Xuelan’s unrepentant face, he wanted to punch her hard.

Shangguan Xuelan noticed his reaction. She sneered, “Why? Do you still want to hit me? Do you have the right? I’m telling you, I don’t have the time to talk to you now. Get lost!”

Uncle Liu stands at the side helplessly. The Fourth Young Lady looked innocent and cute, but her words were sharp. The Third Young Master looked like he was about to explode.

“Uncle, if you knew better then, you could have just given me the herbs, and everything would have been over. Why did you have to play so many tricks? Not only did you lose the face of the Shangguan family, but you also lost your reputation!”

Shangguan Xuelan crossed her arms. She was good with her words, unlike Shangguan Qing. Hearing her insulting his father, he could no longer stand it and rushed forward with his fists raised.

Uncle Liu took a big step forward and caught Shangguan Qing’s fist midair. His voice was cold as he said, “Third Young Master, it’s alright if you quarrel. If you start a fight, it’ll be your fault!”

“Who the f*ck do you think you are? How dare you meddle in my business? Get lost! Even if 1 don’t beat her to death today, I’ll tear her mouth apart!”

Shangguan Xuelan laughed mockingly. What an idiot. Shangguan Qing was the first one who dared to cause trouble in her grandfather’s house.

Shangguan Qing became even crazier when he saw her expression. He shouted like a madman,” Just wait!”

Uncle Liu had won several honours in martial arts when he was young. He could easily stop Shangguan Qing.

“Hmph! The two of you are getting bolder!”

A dignified older man holding a dragon-headed cane slowly walked over from the end of the corridor with a few people behind him.

Shangguan Qing’s heart skipped a beat when he saw him, and his body went limp.

“G-Grandpa? Why are you here?”

When Shangguan Xuelan saw the old man, her expression immediately relaxed. She held the old man’s arm and asked coquettishly, “Grandpa, have you missed me recently?”

Old Master Shangguan chuckled and then asked with a straight face, “You mischievous girl, why don’t you study hard? Why are you here to cause trouble? Why are you quarreling with your brother?”

“I didn’t quarrel with him,” said Shangguan Xuelan innocently.

“I told him the truth, and he wanted to hit me. How disrespectful and rude.”

Hearing this, the few uncles behind Old Master Shangguan revealed unhappy expressions but did not flare up. In this generation, Old Master Shangguan especially loved Shangguan Xuelan.

Shangguan Qing looked terrified as he watched the loving scene between his grandfather and grandson. He wanted to hit Shangguan Xuelan, but his grandfather had seen him. He did not know how his grandfather would punish him.

The more he thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became. Why could a branch family descendant obtain their grandfather’s particular attention? Could it be her talent? Shangguan Xuelan was talented, but Shangguan Qing was not bad either.

For so long, he had been trying his best to improve. He even had a feeling that he had already surpassed Shangguan Xuelan.

The old man did not even look at Shangguan Qing. Shangguan Qing was getting more and more anxious. After speaking to Shangguan Xuelan, he looked at Shangguan Qing and said, “You’re an elder brother. It’s fine if you don’t know how to give in to your younger sister, but you even want to hit her in broad daylight.”

“When your sister leaves, go to detention yourself!”

Shangguan Qing’s face turned pale as soon as he heard that. He quickly defended himself and said, “Even if Grandpa wants to punish me, why isn’t Fourth Sister punished? If it weren’t for her, our Shangguan family wouldn’t have been so disgraced.”

“Enough!” Old Master Shangguan knocked the ground heavily with his walking stick and looked at Shangguan Qing with disappointment. “This is your father’s fault. Don’t blame it on others.”

Seeing the indignant look in Shangguan Qing’s eyes, Old Master Shangguan sighed heavily and said to Shangguan Xuelan, “Whoever spreads this matter today will disgrace the Shangguan family. I have always been very fair to the main family and the branch family, but you disappointing people make me worry.”

“If neither of you is convinced, then let’s have a competition about your medical skills. I’ll punish whoever loses!”

Hearing this, Shangguan Qing’s eyes lit up. Who was Shangguan Xuelan to compete in medical skills?

This time, he would let everyone in the main family see how trashy Shangguan Xuelan, a branch family member, was.

“Of course.”

“I disagree!”

The two answered in unison, but Old Master Shangguan’s face darkened. He said, “Xuelan, what are you doing?”

“Grandpa, I’m here to take the golden toad for important matters. I don’t want to waste my time here.”

Shangguan Qing sneered, “The golden toad is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the Shangguan family. Is it something you can have just because you want it?”

The faces of the few uncles behind Old Master Shangguan also changed. This kind of treasure could not be lent out.

Shangguan Xuelan waved her hand indifferently and said, “Alright then. Then let’s change the rules. If I lose, I’m willing to accept any punishment. If I win, I’ll take the golden toad.”

“How is it? Isn’t it fair? Grandpa, the winner can’t be left without any rewards, right?”

Before Old Master Shangguan could say anything, the few uncles behind him stood up first.

“Shangguan Xuelan, don’t cause trouble here. The golden toad can’t be lent out.”

“Youngsters are always hot-headed. If they don’t even have good character, then no matter how good their medical skills are, they’re just an idiot.”

“Old Master, 1 think we should forget about this matter. Are we still going to get involved in a quarrel between two juniors?”

These uncles tried to persuade the old man to give up on this idea.

Unexpectedly, he nodded and said, “Shangguan Xuelan, 1 agree to your conditions..”
