I am a leisurely rich woman in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 22 Sisters Struggle
"Don't you know her character?"

"Every time you take something from me, you claim it as your own. When have you ever given it back to me?"

"She just made a scene and acted like a spoiled child, and you gave it to her. Have you ever thought that this is still my own thing?"

"Such a good thing was specially given to me by the Empress in the palace. I haven't even worn it yet, but you suggested giving it to her?"

Hearing what He said, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She had never expected that her mother could no longer be trusted.

"Why am I the one who is stingy? He clearly took my things, so how is it my fault?"

"I don't…"

Tinghe didn't listen to Zhang's explanation and just took Yueshu away.

Yue Shu followed Ting He to the small courtyard in the backyard and sat down gloomily.

Yue Shu looked around.
“Is this your little yard?”

Although the small yard is not big, it is clean and tidy and looks very refreshing.

"Don't be angry with your mother. You don't go home often in the palace, but this small courtyard is clean and very comfortable. It doesn't look like it was cleaned temporarily, which shows that auntie often thinks about you."

Yue Shu looked at Ting He who was looking at her with grievance on her face and continued:

"You finally have a day off to go back to your home, don't make yourself sad."

"Besides, I envy you from the bottom of my heart. At least you have a family that loves you."

Ting He shook his head and said,
"Mom is so partial! She knew I liked it so much, but she was reluctant to bring it with her. She told me to take good care of it, but ended up giving it to my sister to play with instead."

She just felt that she was too disappointed.

"My elder sister has lived a life of luxury at home with servants to serve her since she was a child. She doesn't have to serve in the palace. I am obviously the one who is pitiful. Why does mother favor her and not me?"

"If you like it, we can take it back." Yue Shu touched her head and comforted her.

"what?"

"Aunt also said that she was just taking it to play with for a few days and would return it, so we should ask her to give it back. If she doesn't give it back, she will be the stingy one who took it."

"But she is such a shameless person."

"Then let's take her back. Isn't she too weak to take care of herself? She definitely can't get it back from us."

"Even if she goes to her aunt to cry and make a fuss, it's her fault as the older sister."

"If someone bullies us, we must fight back, otherwise we will be the ones who suffer."

Ting He was shocked when she heard Yue Shu say this.

"I didn't expect you..."

She thought Yue Shu was a gentle person who did not fight or compete with others.

"In the palace, you have to be prudent and protect yourself, so that you can move freely, but why do you have to do this in your own home?"

"But you can see that I have never suffered any loss in the palace."

Although she always heard Zijuan saying bad things about her behind her back, the treasures in her pocket kept increasing.

Instead, she was furious when she saw that I ignored her. Moreover, in the eyes of the public, she had a gentle and generous personality. Killing three birds with one stone, wasn't it wonderful?

"But you have to be polite before you use force, you can't just grab it right away..." Yue Shu looked around again and said in a low voice,

"Don't tell your mother that this was my idea!"

Ting He patted his chest and said, "Hey, don't worry, I won't tell you even if you kill me!"

Yue Shu finally felt relieved. If Zhang knew that she taught her child like this, she would be doomed. However, if she hadn't seen Ting He so sad and her sister was so disgusting, she wouldn't have cared about such things to avoid getting into trouble.

But Tinghe is her good friend from the bottom of her heart, and it is impossible for her to ignore her sadness.

"Okay! Then let's go to my mother's place?"

"Yes, but don't quarrel with her later."

Yue Shu gave her a worried reminder, and seeing that she was no longer sad, she asked,
"The boy who bumped into me just now is the Brother Sheng you mentioned?"

The young man had an extraordinary temperament and was unforgettable once he met him.

Seeing that Ting He didn't seem to dislike him, he asked a few more questions.
"Yes, although Brother Sheng doesn't like to talk much, he is calm and reliable."

"If he really marries my sister, he will be unlucky for the rest of his life."

"But he also has a mean and vicious stepmother. If she marries him, I'm afraid both of us will be killed by her."

Ting He pouted and said with a scared look on her face.

"So vicious?"

"Yes, you don't know that a few years ago, Brother Sheng was poisoned, and it was only after Uncle Sheng stepped in that the matter was resolved."

"Although there was no result in the end, everyone knows without thinking that this is actually what Brother Sheng's stepmother did in order to let her biological son inherit the family property."

"Let me tell you, this incident caused quite a stir. Although the neighbors all knew about it, it disappeared after a while and no one mentioned it."

"I heard that it was this stepmother who threatened Uncle Sheng and wanted to throw her own son into the well..."

"They are all my sons. Uncle Sheng also...ah."

Uncle Sheng can be said to be a biased father.

However, this young man is very filial. Even though his father treats him like this, he still serves him.

"Is that so? No wonder uncle didn't want Tingyu to marry him."

In addition to feeling that her daughter was not worthy of the young man from the Sheng family, she was more worried that the Sheng family was now ruled by a vicious stepmother, and she felt sorry for her daughter and was afraid that she would not have a good life if she married into the family.

The two sisters were talking in whispers, and when it was almost evening, Tinghe took Yueshu to the upper room to prepare for dinner.

When Yue Shu saw Ting He's father Zhang Wei, she smiled and called for help.

Zhang Wei looks like an approachable and gentle Uncle Long. Perhaps because he has been with Mr. Long for a long time, he also has a graceful and generous demeanor.

"Good boy, don't be polite when you come to my house for the first time. I often heard He talk about you before. Thank you for taking care of her."

Ting He was still a little girl, working as a servant in Changle Palace, so Zhang Wei naturally paid a lot of attention to his daughter.

I have known for a long time that my daughter has a friend named Yueyue, who went from being a third-class palace maid to serving the old lady. She is considered a powerful person.

Some time ago, he heard Zhang talking to him about this little girl, who actually knew how to make money with her embroidery skills. He actually liked this rational and sober person.

So he was willing to give her more help, which could be regarded as helping his own daughter.

Yue Shu shook her head,
"It's nothing. Ting He has been very caring towards me. However, I am sorry to bother my uncle and aunt by coming here today."

Hearing the politeness in Yue Shu's words, Zhang immediately looked angry.
"What are you doing? You don't have to be so polite. Look, you brought a gift with you."

Zhang Wei looked at the gift and said to Zhang,
"You don't have to refuse the children's gift. Just be considerate of these two little girls and bring them some nourishing and healthy medicines to take back to the palace for use."

"What good things will Daddy bring for them?"

At this moment, a soft and weak voice came from the door.
