Shuang Ling and Shuang Xiu hurriedly stepped forward to help Fang Qing turn around and enter the house.

Glancing at Fang Hui, she said with a smile: “Are you going to sit inside or go to the guest room to rest?”

Since she wanted to be disgusting, she naturally wouldn’t rush to call her sister.

Fang Hui smiled: “I will sit with my sister!”

Fang Qing let out a hum and turned to enter the house, Fang Hui following in afterwards with her maid, Bao’er.

Tilting her head towards Shuang Xiu, Fang Qing said something in a low voice. Shuang Xiu nodded and soon went out again.

The two of them returned to the main house to sit down.

Fang Hui smiled and asked again, “Um, Sister, when will brother-in-law be back?”

Fang Qing was so angry she wanted to laugh. Look, this is the daughter of her ‘mother’, she doesn’t even know how to write the word shameless!

“Naturally he will be back in the afternoon.” Fang Qing said casually. Before Fang Hui could say anything, she said: “I will have to insist, sister. Go back to the guest room and rest! Shuang Ling, find two proper people to take her over!”

“No, no, I’m not tired!” Fang Hui said, eyes lit up as she said hurriedly: “Do whatever you want to do, don’t worry about me, I’ll just sit here.”

Fang Hui was looking forward to it. She hoped that Fang Qing would leave quickly and get out of her way! Like this, she could talk with her brother-in-law as soon as he came back. This was a rare opportunity of a thousand years!

Fang Qing said coldly: “This can’t be done! Although you are my maternal family, you are not from the Su family. The rules of the Su family cannot be broken. The master is not here, how can a guest stay?”

“Then shouldn’t you just not treat me as a guest? I’m not a guest!” Fang Hui gave Fang Qing a blank look and urged impatiently, “Go do your business, I will stay by myself!”

“Presumptuous!” Fang Qing’s face sank. Voice cold, she said: “You are my younger sister but you are not willing to abide by the rules of the house when you visit? Isn’t this embarrassing the face of the Fang family? Indulging you, the face of mother and father is lost!”

Fang Hui saw that her face suddenly changed and her gaze was like a knife. She couldn’t help but tremble in her heart. Pursing her lips, she stared at her: “What do you want to do? Don’t forget, mother asked you to take care of me! Did you not listen!”

Her older sister chuckled and said: “I will teach you the rules so you don’t lose face for the Fang family. This is the greatest care! Otherwise when you leave the house, others will say that the Fang family’s daughters had no tutor! Do you want to go by yourself or should I ask someone to lead you?”

Fang Qing did not have the time and patience to reason with her. Her eyes were already irritated and if this little girl, who didn’t know the height of the sky, really wanted to play rogue, she would use force directly.

“You! You!” Fang Hui was pale with anger. She didn’t expect for Fang Qing to turn her face just as soon as her mother left.

She was so angry her hands were trembling, her chest a tangled ball as she cursed and screamed in her heart, wishing to smash Fang Qing into pieces. But when she saw that two maids were watching her, waiting to lead her away, she immediately knew that Fang Qing could not be moved.

This bitch! Did she really think she’d be able to stand at the top? When she got back, she’d have her mother teach her until she kneeled down and begged for forgiveness!

Imaging Fang Qing kneeling in front of her, crying and begging, Fang Hui finally felt more comfortable. She snorted coldly, turned her head, and walked out angrily.

Bao’er hurriedly called out ‘Miss!’ and rushed to follow her.

After half an hour, Shuang Xiu came back from outside with a young couple.

These two were about seventeen or eighteen years old and when they saw Fang Qing, they hurriedly saluted her, calling: “Sister!”

These two were Fang Qing’s brother, Fang Yao, and his wife, Liu Rong.

Fang Yao was also the son of her stepmother, Madam Ruan.

Under Fang Qing’s targeted campaign, Fang Yao had joined her camp without hesitation. Men, how many of them would refuse a promising career?

Even his wife, whom he had fallen in love with at first sight, was actually orchestrated by Fang Qing!

Under Liu Rong’s influence, Fang Yao became more and more influenced by Fang Qing and could not longer stand his mother and sister. He often helped Fang Qing speak up, which caused Madam Ruan to rage and Fang Yao would become even more disgusted.

Today, Fang Yao was settled in the county seat of Shuangliu county, working as a shopkeeper in the largest silk and satin shop of the Su family. He had a good income and was in a happy marriage. The couple were both very grateful to Fang Qing.

As for Fang Hui, Fang Qing had originally thought of wooing her. Men focused on careers and women, of course, wanted to marry a good man!

However, Fang Hui was bother stupid and courageous, daring to even dream about her brother-in-law. How could Fang Qing tolerate her?

After chatting for a while, Fang Qing sighed: “Mother and sister came again today. I won’t be reserved in front of you: my sister’s mind won’t be moved and I will never agree. I don’t want to let her live here, who knows what she’ll do with that temperament? I want you to take her away and let her stay in your house for a few days, then I will send her back.”

“Sister…” Fang Yao was immediately ashamed. He knew the thoughts of his mother and sister. This year, Fang Hui was fourteen years old and his mother couldn’t wait for her to climb up. It wasn’t that he hadn’t tried to persuade them but he was immediately scolded by his mother. His father actually said that it was good for sisters to work together and have one husband, Fang Hui could help Fang Qing take care of Young Master Su and prevent him from getting involved with outside women. From now on, the Su family would belong to the Fang family!

He didn’t have to think about it, his father’s words were clearly from his mother’s brainwashing.

Unable to laugh or cry, he could do nothing about his parents.

Fang Yao nodded immediately and said: “Sister, don’t worry, we will take Xiao Hui away now!”

Fang Qing nodded, smiling: “Then I will trouble you!”

“Sister is too polite!” Fang Yao smiled and then hesitated. After a pause, he said: “Sister, it’s not good to go on like this. Or else, my mother will definitely ask for a marriage for Xiao Hui…”

In Fang Yao’s view, his mother and sister were simply looking for death. Not to mention that his elder sister was a very capable woman, his brother-in-law was very stubborn!

According to brother-in-law’s temperament, even if he was calculated by Xiao Hui and something happened between the two of them, if he said that he wasn’t responsible, he was not responsible! Who would argue with him?

Talk about his reputation? He didn’t care at all! Say that he was bullying others? So what!

The most likely outcome if he was calculated against was that he would return the calculation and it would be Xiao Hui who suffered.

If Xiao Hui did successfully enter the door of the Su family, he was afraid that she would enter the door with the first foot and enter the Buddhist hall with the second*. In a few months, maybe half a year, news of her death would likely come out.

His older sister was very skilled and resolute. The mother and sister showed no mercy towards her but have repeatedly bullied her. Don’t think that she would intercede for her and hold her husband back. It would be enough if she didn’t join him to clean them up!


TN: *In case this isn’t clear, he’s saying that they would immediately throw her in to the Buddhist hall after she married in.

  1. This stepfather!
    Fang qing’s story seems interesting (they said she’s witty with business, but she also managed to turn her stepbrother into her ally)

  2. Thumbs up to the smart half-brother. I’m thinking that if the half-sister persists, the Su young master will find a way to have her married off to a steward at one of the estates just to get her away from himself.

    1. Marriage to a steward would be too good for her. Find some low life to torment her. That’s the cup of tea she should drink

  3. Then that Hui will become a fertilizer to the garden. Whatever…she wouldn’t have thoughts to her brother-in-law.
    But that Fang father, really makes one hearts cold. Deym…
