Fractious Legitimate Daughter - C172
“What face does she have to be sad about? I spent so much effort to bring up such a daughter, and she even overshadowed my limelight. I made you seriously study earlier, how could you not listen!”
Concubine Fang had never said anything about his daughters being virtuous and untalented, and because of their kinship, she had requested for them to be strict.
He was already upset, but now that Lv Yi had persuaded him to do this, the anger that filled his heart had been vented out, causing Lv Yi to shrink back in fear.
“It’s all your daughter’s fault, but auntie, you can’t just watch that slut climb up here with all her heart!” Xie Wanyun buried all of her resentment and resentment towards the Concubine Fang, as she still had to rely on the person in front of him in the future.
“You just need to properly study and don’t let your grades fall any further. I’ll think of a way to make her proud for a while!” Concubine Fang thought for a moment, then sighed and said.
“Daughter understands!” Xie Wanyun also replied softly in agreement and Concubine Fang left. However, Xie Wan Dian, who was watching from behind, clenched his fist tightly, not even noticing the pain of his fingernails digging into his flesh.
He said that he wanted Xie Wanyun to only care about studying properly, but thinking of the humiliation she had suffered today, how could Xie Wanyun possibly calm her heart and calm down?
Now that he had started to think about it, his attention was fixated on Han Hao, a person with no last name Xie dared to surpass Xie Wanyun, he could not care less about crying, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up, revealing a mischievous smile.
Lv Yi helped Xie Wanyun to moisten her face and hands, and then went back to the Academy in the afternoon. Most of the time, the Academy was taught by the teachers in the morning, and in the afternoon, the teachers would teach the Mama how to teach zither, chess, calligraphy and painting while the man would train his shooting skills.
After the last time Xie Wanqing fell into the water, the Mama didn’t dare to bring the girl out again.
Today was the first time he had to teach the young misses how to flower arranging, and even Xie Wanqing had never learned it in secret before.
But according to what Mama had taught him, Xie Wanqing casually picked up a few fresh flowers and placed them in a vase, it was truly beautiful, even the young ladies who had been in the academy for a few days couldn’t help but praise Xie Wanqing.
Thinking about it, this was probably because Xie Wanqing liked to take turns drawing. When she was in Xie Kai’s study, not only did Xie Kai teach him calligraphy, she also taught him many different kinds of paintings, so over time, Xie Wanqing had some sort of feeling towards matching colors or layouts.
Even the Mama said that it was the first time Xie Wanqing could create something like that, and was extremely powerful, but she guessed that Xie Wanyun was inferior to her, so much that no one even noticed.
However, Xie Wanyun really wanted to surpass Xie Wanqing. Now, seeing that she couldn’t compare to Xie Wanqing, the hatred in her heart was itchy, but she still remained silent on the surface. No one knew what kind of scheme she was plotting.
On the arena, Han Hao was riding a horse. Going to the academy was his favorite time every afternoon.
Han Hao hated reading books, but he had no choice but to read one. Even he himself did not know why he wanted to read, probably so that he could stand shoulder to shoulder with Xie Wanqing.
The weather was not good today, and the fog had not dispersed yet. It had added to the haze and mystery of the fog. Even the nearest hill could not be seen clearly.
Other people would more or less be affected by the weather, but Han Hao was not, the same arrow had pierced the heart, but he did not say much, only watching it, and only lifting up his hair when it hit the heart, causing the wind to blow chaotically.
However, even with his sharp eyes, he did not notice that there was a person standing on the mountain top nearby. Everything that happened was seen by that person.
It was Xie Yun. The thick fog shrouded him, and he could still vaguely make out the hidden enemy in his eyes. If not for him, he would be running around this huge shooting grounds, but everything was already different.
Not only had he lost the chance to study in this academy, he had also lost the right to enter the main clan. How great of a humiliation was this?
Without the protection of Marquis Anyang’s Mansion, his own father’s status in the imperial court naturally dropped drastically.
Xie Yun only knew about this after he overheard his parents chat, he had been spoiled so much at home that the two of them did not want Xie Yun to worry about anything at all.
It was just that Xie Yun had deliberately investigated him, and now all of the debts were owed to Han Hao.
Now that Han Hao’s arrow had hit the heart, Xie Yun could no longer stand it. Originally, Xie Yun’s Riding Spear Innate Spirit was considered good, and was even able to compete with Han Hao. This was all due to Xie Yun being mischievous when he was young.
But the new school would only allow them to study until death, they would barely be able to ride and bring them there. Xie Yun did not like it, he even did not want to go back to school anymore.
He had sneaked out this afternoon just because he saw that Xie Wanyun had delivered a message. He finally had the chance to beat the crap out of him, how could he be willing to die in that academy to recite his words!
Xie Yun was wearing a plain white robe today, as if he was going to blend with the white mist of the mountain. Just seeing that scene, fire almost ignited in his eyes.
This guy was actually so proud, yet he still maintained his silence. Who was he putting on an act for, to Xie Yun, it was obvious that Han Hao was doing this on purpose.
Xie Yun stood on the initially not so tall mountain, looking at everything, his mind seemed to be thinking about something.
He had originally planned to go out and play with the birds after school, but he had not thought that he would have such a great use for it. This distance was such that Xie Yun could completely hit whatever he wanted to hit, and in the past, no matter how high the birds had to be, Xie Yun would always hit.
He picked a well-proportioned rock on the ground and pulled the slingshot. For some reason, this person’s hand trembled a little, but in the end, it still shot the rock with a whoosh.
The corner of his mouth curled up, looking like a happy smile, but there was clearly a trace of fear in his eyes. It was exactly the type of stone that Xie Yun imagined that would land on a horse, causing the horse to go crazy.
Han Hao was originally riding on his horse in the shooting-range, he never expected that the horse would suddenly go berserk and fall to the ground, its green silk clothes stained with mud.
However, he was still rolling around. This was originally a slope, and there were still a lot of broken stones on top. Han Hao rolled to the bottom of the slope and that was it.
Everyone could hear the horse’s neigh just now. Although Han Hao was usually not a favorite, this was a life and death situation. Everyone dismounted from their horses and put down what they were holding in their hands to check at the other end.
Han Hao had already fainted. His head, face, and hands were all drenched in blood, and a pool of blood was still slowly spreading on his legs. A few young cowards were so scared that they were covering their eyes.
It was still better to teach the rider to react quickly. “Hurry and inform the residence!” He turned around and gave the order. His eyebrows were knitted into a knot. Although this was a relative of his, he could not afford to take on such a serious situation.
A few of the more quick-witted ones had already run towards the Marquis Anyang’s Mansion, and could be seen from the top of the mountain, where it was completely chaotic, and there was even the faint smell of blood from the sacrificial offering in the air. The corner of the human figure’s mouth raised, and although his heart was beating faster, his face was smiling as if he had gotten his way.
Finally, it quietly disappeared into the mist. The white mist seemed to have become even denser, and no one noticed the appearance of the human figure.
Once his hands were stained with dirt, they would sink down bit by bit, becoming uncontrollable. His mind became heavier and heavier, and his actions became more and more serious. Even if he was found out, he wouldn’t feel any guilt …
The man didn’t react at all. It was common for people to skip school. It was nothing to him, but today, he had done something big.
