Unexpectedly, she won the little girl's favor. Yao Feiran looked at her round face and couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, Granny Zhang came over, her face looking rather grim: "Feiran, come with me."

It must have been Su Yumei who called her over. Yao Feiran put Wei Wanying down and followed Zhang Mama. Cuiyu had already arrived, but she was being forced to kneel on the ground, her face was swollen and red, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth.

Yao Feiran's lips twitched. She couldn't imagine herself falling to such a state. If someone really hit her, she would most likely fight back, and in the end, she would become a displaced person without any identity.

Just as Su Yumei was about to say something, Wei Wanying came over: "Mother, don't be angry, don't punish Liu'er and Feiran."

She was about to get angry when her daughter hugged and kissed her, and she couldn't maintain her cold expression anymore.

"Liu'er and Fei Ran made a mistake and should be punished. Without rules, there can be no order."

"Then let's just fine them a little bit, not too much."

Wei Wanying blinked, her short, chubby hand pinching a small slit in her skin. Su Yumei was both amused and exasperated, and waved her hand to have Cuiyu dragged away.

Cuiyu cried out, "Second Madam, I know I was wrong. Please don't send her back to the First Madam."

If you make a mistake and Grandma finds out, things won't end well.

Granny Zhang covered her mouth and dragged her away. Su Yumei saw that Yao Feiran kept her head down and her eyes did not change. She had heard the old lady say that she was calm and composed, and it was indeed so.

Su Yumei coaxed Wei Wanying for a while, and finally the nanny took her away to sleep.

Her expression sharpened: "This is also a dereliction of duty on your part. Have you considered the consequences if someone tries to harm Miss?"

Liu'er whispered, "It's my fault."

Seeing this, Yao Feiran echoed her sentiment.

"But it's not your fault. I never expected this jade to be so stupid."

Su Yu frowned, her face full of annoyance. Although she and her sister-in-law had never argued, she always felt that her sister-in-law was malicious towards her. Liu'er was given to her by the old lady. The other people sent over all had some problems. Cuiyu was obviously a restless person, yet she was sent over as well. Her daily life was very restricted.

She couldn't help but think to herself that it would be great if they separated the family. She had her own dowry, her husband was a teacher at the academy, and the family could live their own lives behind closed doors.

"You may leave now. From now on, have someone keep an eye on the door and make sure this doesn't happen again, or I will not forgive you."

"Yes."

After the two left, Liu'er breathed a sigh of relief: "Second Madam is kind. As long as you don't make a big mistake, it's fine. Eldest Madam is stricter. You have to be very careful when you encounter people from the eldest branch of the family in the future."

"Thank you for the reminder, Sister Liu."

"Originally, I had been serving the Third Miss personally, but I will be leaving soon. Originally, only Cuiyu was available, but the Second Madam still begged the Old Madam to find someone more clever, so you came here. I originally thought that you were too young and would have to learn from the nanny, but now it has exceeded my expectations. With you in the Third Miss's care, I am relieved."

"Thank you for your guidance, Sister Liu."

Liu'er smiled slightly. Over the next few days, Liu'er told Yao Feiran about everyone's likes, dislikes, personalities, and lifestyles in the mansion.

Yao Feiran learned that there were several concubines in the mansion, and all the pretty ones had been taken over. However, the master's health was probably not very good, or perhaps there was trouble in the harem, so in the end, he didn't have many children.

Previously, when the first wife suffered a miscarriage, a considerable amount of money was sold off, rumored to be done by a favored concubine named Du Juan. However, this was not publicly revealed, presumably because the master couldn't bear to part with this concubine.

In contrast, the second house had no concubines and was clean and tidy. Su Yumei had a son and a daughter, and the second son was studying at the academy.

Compared to the bloodshed and turmoil in the first wife's household, the second wife's household was much quieter.

However, since the old lady is still alive, the family cannot be divided without her permission.

Not long after, Wei Wanying asked someone to buy carving tools and delivered them directly to Yao Feiran.

"Feiran, you said you can carve, so carve me a big rabbit. If it's too ugly, I'll punish you."

"What if it looks really good?"

"If it looks good, I'll give you the silver."

"it is good."

Yao Feiran remembered Wei Wanting's damaged rabbit and carved it back to its original size and shape, which took less than an hour.

When Wei Wanying saw the rabbit on the table before going to bed, her eyes widened. She hugged Yao Feiran and exclaimed, "Feiran, you really carved it! You're amazing!"

After she finished speaking, she ran over, took out a red bag from the drawer, inside which were a few small gold pieces. She handed it to Yao Feiran: "This is a reward for you."

This kid is quite nice, Yao Feiran couldn't help but smile.

Various wood carvings appeared in the courtyard. Wei Wanying was getting closer and closer to Yao Feiran. With the Spring Festival approaching, Liu'er was preparing to go home. She reminded her, "Feiran, the New Year is coming soon. You can ask Second Madam for permission to go home. I remember your home is not far from here."

"I lost contact with my family a long time ago, and my current mother is not my biological mother."

Liu'er showed a look of sympathy: "Save up more silver yourself. Perhaps when the Third Miss gets married, you can ask for a favor to redeem yourself and find a reliable person to live with."

"I know, I hope Sister Liu and her husband are happy."

Liu'er blushed. Over the years, she had saved a lot of money, and with the gifts from her master, it was enough for her to live well.

After Liu'er left, the Wei family began to liven up. After all, it was the New Year, and Wei Wanying's classes were all suspended, giving Yao Feiran some free time.

"Feiran, come out and play with me."

"No, Second Grandmother's consent is required."

"My mother has already agreed."

Yao Feiran raised an eyebrow and happened to see the two guards next to her. The two guards' blood and qi were surging, and their internal energy was flowing through the eight extraordinary meridians.

Goodness, this is a low-level martial arts world.

She looked at it curiously for a few moments. Although low-level martial arts couldn't shake an army, it was enough to protect oneself. Moreover, there was no such thing as primordial energy in the air of this world, so the origin of martial arts must be in the human body.

Wei Wanying whispered, "Feiran, even though they have great figures, don't keep staring at them, or people will misunderstand."

"Ahem—Let's go out then."

The city was bustling with activity, a rare sight all year round. Wei Wanying looked around, while Yao Feiran took the money given to her by the nanny and paid for her.

After an unknown amount of time, Yao Feiran noticed a gaze falling on her. When she looked up, she was surprised to see that it was her original parents, her father Yao Tieniu and her stepmother Yan Tianhua.

Now that the curfew has been relaxed, they must have gone into the city to set up stalls, displaying fresh fruits and vegetables.

Yao Feiran had no intention of acknowledging her identity and continued to follow Wei Wanying, but soon a rough voice rang out behind her.

"Feiran, you don't even call me 'father' anymore. You've really married into a wealthy family. You haven't sent any letters in so long."

All eyes turned to them.
