Nan Baoyi’s face was filled with innocence, “Grandmother, what does Aunt Wen mean? Don’t tell me that when other people treat me badly, I do not even have the right to look into it?”

“Nonsense!” Grandmother lovingly scraped the tip of her nose, “Grandmother will not let anyone who dares treat my Jiaojiao’er badly get away with it!”

She stared at Madam Wen fiercely, “I heard that your daughter broke Jiaojiao’er’s brush pen that was worth twelve thousand gold. It’s like this, you do not need to pay for the other things that were destroyed and medical fees. Compensate for this brush pen and the matter is resolved.”

Twelve thousand gold…

Madam Wen gripped her fan tightly and stared at Nan Xiaoqian fiercely.

Nan Xiaoqian lowered her head, her eyes tearing up and dare not even exhale loudly.

Madam Wen’s face became respectful and smiled, “Old Madam ―”

“Mother is wrong.”

A sharp and crisp female voice was suddenly heard from outside the flower yard.

Nan Baoyi looked over. Second Aunt was coming in with Nan Baozhu.

Second Aunt was from a bodyguard family and she had a dominant and overbearing aura on her. Whether in terms of business negotiation or handling family matters she was very capable, and is very well known among the women in Shu County.

“Bang.” She threw a stack of account books in front of Madam Wen.

She sneered, “Not just compensate for the twelve thousand gold. All these years how much money your family took from our Nan residence, today you have to spit everything out!”

Nan Baozhu proudly put her hand on her waist and repeated like a parrot, “Spit everything out!”

Madam Wen’s smile froze on her face, “Second Madam, what does this mean…”

“What does this mean? I still don’t know if I didn’t check the accounts. During your husband’s time as a supervisor in the Nan residence’s clothing department, he stole a total of one hundred thousand gold! Madam Wen, do you admit to this stolen money? If not, we will report to the officials!”

Nan Baozhu happily made a face towards Madam Wen, “Report to the officials!”

Madam Wen gripped her fan so tightly that her hands turned white.

She managed a smile, “Second Madam, we are all relatives, why do you have to be so harsh?”

“Relatives?” Second Aunt raised an eyebrow, “Jiaojiao and Baozhu were beaten up by your daughter and yet you still dare to call me your relative? I already checked properly those who were involved in today’s fight. From today onwards, our Nan residence no longer have relatives like you!”

Nan Baozhu was even more proud, “No longer have relatives like you!”

Madam Wen’s face turned white.

She did not expect the Nan residence to be this harsh…

Nan Baoyi was extremely delighted, looking at her Second Aunt in full admiration and respect.

She was indeed the Big Miss from a bodyguard family. She had the same idea as her to sever ties with all the leeches of the Nan residence, handling this matter extremely well and beautifully!

Grandmother smiled and said in a suitable time, “See them out.”

When Nan Xiaoqian’s family was escorted out, Nan Baoyi went after them.

Nan Xiaoqian’s eyes were red, “Our family has been troubled like this, you should be very happy, right?!”

Nan Baoyi said gently, “We only met for the first time today. Don’t you know what was the cause of today’s trouble? Do I really need to remind you who should you hate?”

She smiled and returned to the flower yard.

Nan Xiaoqian clenched her fists tightly.

Yes, she should hate Nan Yan!

That bitch knew all along that she was offending Nan Baoyi but still did not remind her!

Nan Yan, you are extremely hateful!

…

Nan Baoyi returned to the flower yard and bowed towards Second Aunt apologetically, “Second Aunt, it’s all my fault, I keep insisting to go study and involve cousin sister into the fight.”

Nan Baozhu continued imitating like a parrot, “Into the fight!”

Madam Jiang lifted Nan Baoyi up and glared at her daughter, “Stop talking and stop showing off here!”

Nan Baozhu stuck out her tongue and ran to a corner to eat desserts.

Madam Jiang sat Nan Baoyi down, “Your sister is naughty, getting beat up may be good for her. Next time if you got into a fight, tell your sister to stand in front of you. You should run away as far as you can, understand?”

“Second Aunt…”

Nan Baoyi’s nose stung and quickly hugged Madam Jiang.

She was really blinded in her previous life and chose not to be close to such a good aunt but got close with Madam Liu instead, she really deserved to die of cold and starvation in the end!

“Don’t cry, don’t cry…” Madam Jiang gently caressed her head, “I heard from Mother that you want to participate in the Spring Flower Festival and gain a good reputation for the family?”

Nan Baoyi nodded, her eyes shining with tears.

Madam Jiang smiled, “Those tutors in the clan academy are not the best. I think you should not waste your time in the clan academy anymore. I already ordered people to find the best tutors in Shu County who are fluent in the four arts and the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism. From tomorrow onwards, you and Baozhu will study in the residence, you can learn better.”

Nan Baoyi was delighted and quickly thanked Madam Jiang.

Early next morning.

Xiao Yi walked out of his bedroom and saw the bustling garden.

The little girl was wearing a light yellow dress and sat upright on a mat obediently.

There was a zither in front of her. An old teacher sat opposite her, playing the zither energetically.

On her left, an old teacher sat there, drawing enthusiastically.

On her right, another old teacher sat there in front of a chessboard, thinking hard.

And the funniest thing was there was another old teacher stood behind her holding the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism, reciting poems while swaying his head.

He Ye and Yu Wei stood beside holding refreshments. Chang Xin was fanning away mosquitoes.

Looking from afar, the four arts were all gathered together.

The corner of his lips twitched.

What was going on?

Shi Ku stood on a tree branch, already saw what was going on all morning.

He smiled widely and said, “Master had no idea. Fifth Miss made a speech and said if she wants to do something she will do it the best way possible. She even said that people’s potential needed to be stimulated. She intends to stimulate herself severely.”

Xiao Yi was speechless.

He did not know whether this way could stimulate one’s potential or not, but he was certain it would drive a person mad.

He called out, “Nan Baoyi.”

Nan Baoyi was flustered, playing the zither for a while, and quickly went over to play chess, “Second Brother, if you have something to say tell me later, I’m busy.”

“What are you busy with?”

“Busy learning! You see I’m learning the zither while playing chess while drawing while memorizing poems. This is called approaching from all four sides, being accessible from all four sides, attacking from all four sides!”

Xiao Yi was silent.

Why is this little girl so stupid?

Nan Baoyi was too busy.

In the end, she was so busy she did not know what to do, and accidentally splashed a tray of paint on her head.
