Chapter 23 Ting He's Combat Power

Yue Shu looked up and saw a girl wearing big red lantern-puff sleeves looking straight at them with a pair of resentful eyes.

Although the woman looked a little thin, she was not half-dead as Ting He had said before.

Moreover, Yue Shu looked at her pair of white and tender hands, her pretty face, and her sickly and delicate appearance. She did not look like an ordinary girl raised in a servant's family. Instead, she looked like an arrogant young lady who was used to being served.

Zhang Wei saw her come in, frowned, and said,
"Aren't you sick? Why are you here?"

"If I don't come out, won't mother take something good out behind my back?"

The woman was Tingyu. Her words were so heartbreaking that Tinghe was furious.

She was not afraid that her own mother would give all the good things to her younger sister and not leave any for herself.

"Nonsense! Look at what you said!"

Zhang Wei looked angry and scolded Zhang.
"I'm usually not at home, how do you teach your children?"

"My sister serves others in the palace every day. Although the Dragon King trusts us and lets us serve, you have been a maid since she was a little girl. She doesn't know the hardship involved. Don't you know the sadness of being a maid?"

"Why does this girl look like a lady from a wealthy family? It would be fine if she didn't feel sorry for your sister, but now why can't she bear to see her sister have something good?"

"You weren't so overbearing in the early years. You've been spoiled too much these years. You're always jealous of your sister. It's really getting more and more outrageous!"

Seeing Zhang Wei's angry expression, Zhang quickly tried to persuade him.
"Tingyu also speaks without thinking, she is not like that."

Zhang Wei snorted coldly.
"She speaks without thinking? I think she is selfish and sarcastic!"

"Why does Daddy only protect my sister and only scold me?"

"Besides, I'm the elder sister, and the things in the house should be given to me first and then to my younger sister. I, as the elder sister, haven't received them yet, so why are they all given to her now?"

She looked aggrieved and said to Zhang:
"Mom, Dad is partial!"

She knew that her mother would always feel sorry for her, she had a lot of experience.

Every time she asked for this or that, Zhang would give it to her willingly.

It is because of the pain she suffered in her mother's womb that she is in this state now. Her mother would definitely not want to see her sad.

She is successful in everything.

But Ting He couldn't hold it in any longer and said angrily,
"Why is Dad so partial? Do you think you can only have a share of these foods and not me?"

"You also took my carnelian bracelet, give it back to me now!"

Zhang Wei frowned and asked,

"What bracelet?"

"It was given to me some time ago by the Second Empress because she thought I was lovable. I couldn't bear to wear it, so I asked my mother to take it back and keep it for later. But when I came back, my mother said that my sister had already taken it away to play with."

"Why, haven't you had enough fun yet? Shouldn't you have returned it to me long ago?"

Tingyu turned pale when he heard this.

"What do you mean by yours? It's obviously my stuff. I gave it to me, so it's mine! If you don't agree, go ask me for it yourself!"

Tingyu glanced at Yueshu who was standing next to Tinghe and said coldly, "She just likes to bring some messy and cheap things home. I don't know if she's here to get something for free."

Ting He was furious when he heard this.

A slap hit Tingyu's face very quickly, making her dizzy. Then, while she was still not reacting, he immediately snatched the red chalcedony bracelet from her wrist and put it firmly into his own space. Tingyu finally reacted and wanted to fight back immediately, but she was a spoiled rich girl and had never practiced diligently. How could she be a strong opponent of Tinghe after working hard day and night?
She reached out her hand to grab Tinghe's hair and slap her back hard to let her know that her authority as the eldest sister should not be offended, but she tripped over the table and fell heavily to the ground.

She burst into tears in an instant.

Zhang Wei had an angry look on his face.

"Nonsense, stop it now!"

Tingyu felt aggrieved after being scolded, and could only say to Zhang,

"Mother! Look at her. She now dares to hit my sister. She is getting bolder and bolder. Now she even dares to steal my things!"

"It's obviously mine, how did it become yours? You seem to have never seen the world. Why don't you go to the palace and serve the master to broaden your horizons!"

Ting He saw that Ting Yu seemed to be about to faint again, so he said quickly,

"You don't have to act like you're sick again. I'll find a doctor for you right away and tell him that you got sick because you wanted to steal your sister's things. Let the doctor see what kind of dragon you are!"

When Zhang heard this, she thought it would be so embarrassing if this got out.

But she was very surprised. She didn't expect that her second daughter was so powerful now. Before, she only dared to lose her temper and say a word or two in front of her.

Zhang Wei, however, did not say anything about Ting He's actions, but agreed.
"You stole your sister's things and you still have the nerve to cry here?"

He seems to be much more fair and just than Zhang.

Yue Shu watched Zhang helping Tingyu up, looking at her bewildered and not knowing what to do. She quickly asked the maid to bring the food over, hoping to quickly calm the war.

As an outsider, it is not appropriate for her to get involved in other people's dirty affairs.

Seeing Tinghe's triumphant look, Tingyu became even more furious and started crying even more sharply.

"Mother! Look at her! Mother!"

"Okay, that's my sister's. I'll buy you another one."

"No! I want the one that's mine!"

Zhang Wei was already very impatient.
"Come over to eat quickly, the noise is giving you a headache!"

He paused, and said to his eldest daughter who was still insisting on her,
"If you don't want to eat, get back to your room!"

Tingyu looked at her father and said harshly,
"I won't eat it!"

As he said this, he stumbled out.

Ting He happily pulled Yue Shu to the table to eat. Without that annoying presence, the air smelled better.

If Tingyu had come to eat with us just now, her ugly selfish and sarcastic appearance would have been really hard to swallow.

Although Yue Shu had heard of Tingyu's bad behavior before, she also understood that she was a person who was particularly willing to seek death.

But this "meeting" was really eye-opening.

Thinking about Tingyu's harsh words to her, after all, she was still a guest in someone else's home, so she could only suppress her anger, said some polite words to Zhang Wei in a friendly manner, and then ate her meal in silence.

As for whether Tingyu was hungry or not, she didn’t know. Anyway, she was not the one who was hungry!
snort!
The rice is more fragrant.
