"Father, your daughter doesn't have any other intentions. I just don't understand why …" Elder sister and mother are both housekeepers, did mother not do well enough? "

Hearing Shi Anyi's words, Shi Yu's expression turned a little cold, and the anger in her heart swept over as if overturning seas and rivers, and heavily placed the cup in her hand on the table. "What? Are you unhappy? Back then, if it wasn't for Madam's poor health, what authority do you think an aunt would have to run the household? Anran is the first elder sister to you, even if it's the sect leader's house, it would still be reasonable.

It was fine as long as she didn't have to hide it when she saw the situation, but because Shi Anyi had relied on the pampered him a little two years ago, and because she was jealous of the faint smile on Shi Anran's face, she couldn't help but speak in a flustered manner.

"But dad, with Madam's sickly body, how can she manage the household properly? If it wasn't for my mother always by Madam's side, how could the mistress' housekeeper act so calmly? "

When she finished speaking, Third Concubine suddenly felt as if her eyes had turned black, and she couldn't even catch her breath. "An Yi, stop talking, shut up."

Shi Anyi suddenly felt wronged. She was clearly speaking on behalf of her mother and not only did she not benefit, she had even scolded her mother. Shi Anyi felt bad inside as she turned her head to the side, feeling wronged in her heart.

Hearing these words, Shi Yu's lips trembled in anger. Although he also had two concubines, he still loved Madam. He immediately slapped the table fiercely, "Is this what a concubine like you should say? My lady? Mother? Shi Anyi, don't forget, your mother is the only one! "It can only be Madam. If you don't even understand the most basic of etiquette, don't embarrass yourself in the future!"

Shi Anran stood there like an outsider, not moving at all, as though she did not hear Shi Anyi's words. She just stood there quietly.

"Father, daughter …" Shi Anyi still wanted to explain a little more.

"Shut up, I don't have such an outrageous daughter like you!" Just as Shi Anyi wanted to explain, she was interrupted by Shi Yu. Her face was ashen.

After hearing Shi Yu's reprimand, although Shi Anyi was a little unwilling, he did not dare to speak ill of her and could only place his gaze of hatred onto Shi Anran.

When Shi Yu was seated on the chair, he naturally did the same thing. When he saw Shi Anyi's actions, he suddenly regretted it, if not for his weak ears and two concubines, how could such a thing have happened today?

Shi Anran hurriedly lifted the Tranquil Heart Tea by her side and placed it next to Shi Yu's mouth, "Daddy, don't be angry, little sister is still young, please don't be angry with her."

Shi Yu let out a heavy sigh and adjusted his emotions. "Anyi, do you think that once your aunt takes over the family's rights, she'll have the chance to become the legal wife?" What a joke! "There's only one concubine in this mansion, and she's a concubine. Even if your concubine is in charge, I can take back this power at any time. I can pamper your concubine, and similarly, I can bring one back from the outside and do the same thing!

Although these words were said to Shi Anyi, every single word and sentence was said to the Third Concubine at the side.

Seeing Shi Yu's merciless look, Third Concubine was immediately paralyzed on the ground. She was not convinced, but in terms of her current situation, her resistance could only cause her to feel even more disgust. She could only lower her head, and the hatred in her heart only spread further.

"Someone, come."

Just as he finished speaking, Liu Yue and Lian Xing led the few old men who they had gotten their hands on into the courtyard and respectfully blessed themselves with their blessings.

"Second Miss does not respect the Elders or the Mother. Let's go to the temple to calm down for a few days. Third Concubine will pray for the Lady's blessings in the ancestral hall."

As he said that, he waved his hands, disregarding the mother and daughter pair's struggle to escape, and let Liu Yue and the others command them to drag them down.

"Father, your daughter doesn't have much experience. Third Concubine has been in charge for a long time, and the people in the manor have their confidence too. How about …"

Before Shi Anran could finish her words, Shi Yu shook her head and said, "Daddy will find a mama to help you, but the rules cannot be broken, especially with An Yi. If she doesn't repent and doesn't change, then I'll find a mama to teach her a lesson in a few days."

Hearing Shi Yu's words, Shi Anran could not continue to plead, and only smiled and nodded, "Daughter understands."

"Yup, Anran, Leader can't be too weak, and he can't be too kind. If he deserves a punishment, then he has to be punished, and the rewards must be combined."

Seeing that Shi Yu meant it for her good, Shi Anran smiled and nodded, "Father, don't worry, your daughter will definitely not disappoint you."

After sending Shi Yu away, Shi Anran called the two girls to his side, "Liu Yue, you and Lian Xing go and take note of everyone who can use this place. Oh right, Jian Jia Yuan also sent someone to count the number of people, and also brought all the books in the residence.

Seeing the two girls happily heading off to work, Shi Anran sat there with a face as heavy as water, but in his heart, she was constantly calculating. Right now, her impression of Shi Anyi in her father's heart had definitely plummeted.

No, this was too easy for them. Catching a mouse was not like eating it in one bite. Watching a mouse struggle powerlessly in their palms was the most interesting thing.

At this moment, there was no one in the room. Naturally, no one could see the usually calm and quiet, gentle, and virtuous Eldest Miss. At this moment, her eyes were as bloodthirsty as a demon.

With the power of the sect master in his hand, he took care of Shi Anyi and her daughter. Yi Yue also received good news from her side, as three consecutive good things were thrown down to the table in an instant. When Shi Anran was eating at night, she even ate half a bowl more than usual.

Lian Xing watched by the side, her face also brimming with a smile, "Miss, please urge this servant to make some more snacks for you."

Hearing Lian Xing's words, Shi Anran nodded her head, "Mn, alright, I will do it another day. I will send some over to father."

After she finished speaking, Shi Anran lowered her head and continued to struggle with the red dates in her bowl. She actually did not like eating these, but in order to nurture her body, she forced herself to eat some nuts and drink some goat's milk everyday. In these past few months, there had been a lot of changes.

"Alright, you guys can go down first. We've been tired all day. Starting tomorrow, we'll have a more difficult path ahead of us. We must take care of our bodies and recuperate."

After drinking the goat's milk and washing up, Shi Anran chased the two girls out to let them rest.

Shi Anran sat on the bed, half kneeling on the ground, she helped her take her shoes and socks off, and also closed the window curtain. Only then did the two of them leave the room.

Originally, she did not feel sleepy, but after lying on the bed for a long time, Shi Anran soon fell asleep.

Yi Yue had rushed back after midnight, and carefully packed herself up without waking Liu Yue up. She just laid there, fully clothed, and entered slumber as well.
