Chapter 173 Cannon Fodder Substitute 22
Chapter 173 Cannon Fodder Substitute 22
With the idea in mind, Yuan Lan took the task of copying scriptures to heart and spent a lot of time copying them every day.
She worked extremely quickly and completed copying the Book of Filial Piety a hundred times in just half a month.
Chu Wanyi once said that she would only be able to leave the yard when Yuan Lan finished copying the Book of Filial Piety.
Now that Yuan Lan has successfully completed her task, the servants in the yard will naturally not stop her from leaving the yard.
Yuan Lan held the copied Filial Piety Sutra in her hand and prepared to pay her respects to Chu Wanyi.
When she passed by the garden, she met her half-sisters again, who were playing in the garden.
Even her two younger sisters were among them, a total of seven or eight little girls gathered together.
They chased each other and played, laughing and talking, and the atmosphere was very cheerful and happy.
Yuan Lan stood quietly by the side, silently watching everything in front of him, with a hint of complex emotions gradually emerging in his eyes.
Suddenly, a strong urge arose in my heart, wanting to break this harmonious and joyful scene.
But in the end, she controlled her impulse.
She lowered her head and stared at the Book of Filial Piety in her hands. She had more important things to do.
Yuan Lan turned around and left silently.
At the same time, Yuan Wei slowly walked to the Fifth Girl, patted her head gently, and asked with a smile: "What are you looking at?"
The fifth girl reached out and touched the place where Yuan Wei had patted her. She raised her head, looked at Yuan Wei and replied:
"Brother, I think I saw my second sister just now. Wasn't she grounded by mother? Why is she here?"
Although it was not a kind thought, the Fifth Miss really felt that the Marquis' Mansion had become much quieter since her second sister was confined to her room.
At least there aren't so many arguments.
They, the concubine sisters, don't have to worry about their second sister causing trouble for them when she's in a bad mood.
"Hmm? The ban has been lifted, right? Maybe he finished copying the Filial Piety Classic."
Yuan Wei looked at the direction Yuan Lan left, thoughtfully.
"Don't worry about her. She won't last long."
When the fifth girl heard this, she looked at Yuan Wei in shock.
Do you know what you are talking about?
Is this something she could know?
Yuan Wei's eyebrows curved, and she placed her slender white index finger on her lips, blinking at the fifth girl, "Shh~"
Yuan Lan prepared himself mentally, stood at the door of the main courtyard, took a deep breath, and then asked someone to go in and pass on the message.
If it were in the past, she would not have waited outside and would have run straight in, but now things are different.
Yuan Lan looked at Shi Liu who stopped her and lowered her head to hide the malice in her eyes.
Yuan Lan thought she would be able to get in soon, after all, her mother had always loved her very much.
Even if she made a mistake, it has been so long since then, and she has taken the initiative to admit her mistake.
But unexpectedly, she was stopped outside the door.
She widened her eyes in disbelief, her face showing anger and dissatisfaction.
She originally thought she was ready to face her mother, but now she found that she still could not stand this cold treatment.
Her heart was filled with grievance and unwillingness, and she couldn't help but clench her fists.
She glared at Shi Liu with anger in her eyes, as if she wanted to ask why she was not allowed to enter.
She didn't believe what Shi Liu said, that her mother's reaction was too serious and it was inconvenient for her to see her.
But in the end Yuan Lan endured it.
But after I got back, I couldn't help but break all the vases and porcelain in the room.
"Humph! Excuses, just excuses."
Yuan Lan said viciously: "When I was pregnant with my third and fourth sisters, it's not like I don't remember anything. I didn't have any big reactions when I was pregnant with twins."
"I never heard that mother was in great pain when she was pregnant with me and my elder brother. Why is she saying it's a big reaction now? It's just an excuse for not wanting to see me."
Yuan Lan was breathing heavily and frantically, and her face was so hideous that it made the maid waiting beside her feel numb.
Isn’t this second girl too scary?
It took a long time for Yuan Lan to calm down.
It doesn’t matter, even if her mother ignores her, she still has her father.
The father is still the boss of the family. As long as she pleases her father, why would she be afraid that her mother will ignore her?
Thinking of this, Yuan Lan's eyes lit up and he ran out in a hurry.
She's going to ask her father for help.
"girl!"
Zizhen was frightened by Yuan Lan's sudden running out, and hurriedly followed her out.
Yuan Lan ran towards the study room regardless of anything, mumbling something as he ran.
He looked very crazy.
When I ran to the door of the outer study, I happened to meet Yuan Guangheng and Yuan Wei coming out of the study.
Yuan Lan saw Yuan Guangheng’s face lit up with joy and ran over faster.
"father."
Yuan Guangheng frowned and looked at Yuan Lan. Seeing that she didn't have the demeanor of a girl at all, he couldn't help but scold her.
"Why are you running so fast? It's so shameless..."
"what……"
Before Yuan Guangheng could finish his words, Yuan Lan screamed and then rushed forward.
With a "bang", the surroundings became quiet.
"Ahhh...blood, blood...my face!"
Then came Yuan Lan's loud screams and cries.
As soon as Yuan Lan raised her head, everyone realized that her face was scratched by the branches of the flowers and trees next to her.
At this moment, blood was constantly gushing out of the wound on Yuan Lan's face. In just a moment, half of her face was covered in blood, and even her facial features became difficult to distinguish.
Yuan Guangheng looked at the branches of flowers and trees beside her.
He had just ordered people to trim these branches yesterday, and the tips of the branches of the flowers and trees were in a sharp, pruned shape, standing straight up.
At this time, drops of blood still hung on the tip of the branch, and if you looked closely you could see a trace of flesh.
Yuan Guangheng's hair stood on end and he took a step back trembling.
Zizhen watched the scene in amazement from behind.
He fell on flat ground and scratched his face. He is really unlucky.
Is this face disfigured?
"Help the second young lady up quickly and call the palace doctor."
Yuan Guangheng woke up the servant who was standing there in a daze.
Yuan Wei hid her hands in her sleeves, twisted her fingers gently, and then hid her entire hands behind her back, hiding her achievements and fame.
Both the angle and the strength are perfect!
A barely perceptible smile flashed in Yuan Wei's eyes.
Yuan Lan's face was seriously injured. The doctor said the wound was quite deep and would most likely leave scars.
Yuan Lan couldn't accept this result and kept making noise all day long until she accidentally tore the wound again and then she calmed down.
It's just that my temper has become more unpredictable.
Yuan Guangheng felt sorry for Yuan Lan's facial injury for only a moment, and then he let it go.
There's nothing I can do. I don't really care about having so many daughters.
One daughter ruined him and a dozen others.
Moreover, Yuan Lan fell and got injured because she ran around without caring about her image. She can't blame anyone else but herself.
Yuan Guangheng is now more focused on other things.
What he is more concerned about now is Chu Wanyi's belly and his nephews Yuan Ze and Yuan Zhou's examination for the imperial examination.
Yuan Guangyi had previously mentioned to Yuan Guangheng that his son planned to take the Tongsheng exam this year.
He hoped Yuan Wei could go with him to experience the atmosphere of the examination room, and maybe pass the exam in one go.
In the past few years, Yuan Guangyi observed from the sidelines and found that Yuan Wei was not a stupid person. Although she was not focused enough in her studies, she was very smart.
With his ability, passing a simple exam like the Tongsheng exam should not be a problem.
But does Yuan Guangheng dare to let Yuan Wei take the imperial examination?
Do you think your head is too hard and want to move it?
