♂?，，

  Lin Lan curiously sized up the two girls. One of them seemed older, tall and slender, wearing a dark green dress with a light blue sash and a long skirt made of thin silk. Her hair was styled in a curved bun, adorned with a small phoenix hairpin embedded with pearls and gold. Her eyebrows were shaped like willow leaves, her eyes were as smooth as silk, and she looked elegant and charming. The other girl seemed younger, only reaching the older girl's lips in height, wearing a light green dress with a cherry blossom yellow skirt that had a hundred folds. She wore a pair of double-ring buns, her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, her cheeks were smooth and plump, looking cute and lovely.

  But at this moment, Lin Lan felt that she was not lovely at all, because her big eyes, which were like lotus leaves, showed undisguised disgust towards Lin Lan.

  It's not scary to be so frank and open about one's feelings, what's scary is people who are insincere. For example, that refined young lady, when she saw Lin Lan for a moment, there was a flash of coldness in her eyes, which immediately disappeared, replaced by a warm smile. But Lin Lan still caught the glimpse of her true feelings in that instant, and it's certain that this person's dislike for her is even stronger than that lovely young lady's.

  The reason is simple, it's absolutely not because Lin Lan herself is very annoying, but her current identity makes them dislike her.

  "Brother-in-law, is this the future sister-in-law?" The gentle lady smiled, her voice as sweet as a songbird's, soft and melodious.

  Li Mingyu slightly nodded: "Xin'er's cousin, Ke'er's cousin." That was a response to the question and a greeting.

  The lovely young lady walked up, looked at Lin Lan with a slanted eye, and her expression was very disdainful. She turned to Li Mingyu and said: "Brother, your taste is not good."

  "Ke'er, don't be rude." The gentle young lady scolded in a soft voice, but her face showed no displeasure.

  Jiao Ke'er's nose wrinkled, pouting unhappily: "I'm telling the truth! I thought my future sister-in-law would be a heavenly woman, but it turns out she's not even as good as our household maid."

  Too straightforward, too little face, Lin Lan thought: Am I so unbearable to talk about?

  Lin Lan suddenly smiled and said to Li Mingyun: "Mingyun, I think I don't need to learn etiquette anymore."

  Li Mingyun had slowly gotten used to Lin Lan's erratic thinking and guessed that this was the start of her counterattack, so he cooperatively asked: "Why?"

  "Grandmother had repeatedly emphasized that the mansion was very particular about etiquette, and the education of girls was extremely strict. After listening to Mother Zhou's teachings, I thought that although the young ladies in the mansion couldn't be considered top-notch talents, they wouldn't be too bad either. But who would have thought...” Lin Lan wanted to speak but hesitated, looking at Ke'er with a disappointed shake of her head.

  "What's that supposed to mean? What's the big deal about seeing you today?" Ke'er naturally understood that Lin Lan was mocking her, a country bumpkin who dared to mock the third miss of the Ye Manor. Already not in a good mood, Ke'er was like a ignited fire, her eyebrows inverted, loudly questioning Lin Lan.

  Lin Lan smiled lightly and said indifferently, "Of course I'm disappointed! Firstly, Ming Yun is our older cousin, and I am your future aunt-in-law. When we met, you should have at least shown some respect to your elders or peers, but you didn't; secondly, as soon as you opened your mouth, you spoke disrespectfully to your future aunt-in-law, using sarcasm and ridicule to the extreme, losing all sense of propriety. As for other things, I won't go into details, lest it becomes too embarrassing and the maids in the mansion laugh at us."

  Ker's face suddenly turned red, pointing at Lin Lan's nose with a mixture of shame and anger: "What kind of thing are you? You also dare to come and teach me?"

  Li Mingyun stepped forward, blocking Lin Lan's path. He slapped away Ke'er's hand and said in a low, stern voice, "Ke'er, you're being unreasonable today. Eldest Sister-in-law didn't say anything wrong."

  Ke'er's eyes widened in incredulity, staring at her cousin in disbelief as tears welled up in her eyes. With a trembling voice, she asked: "Cousin, are you helping her but not me?"

  Xiang'er hastily came forward to pull Jiao'er, softly advising: "Third sister, stop making a scene, older cousin is getting angry."

  "He's angry, I'm angry too! How can this woman be worthy of my brother?! I'm just standing up for my brother, I don't like her, I hate her." Ke'er glared at Lin Lan with tears in her eyes, wishing she could throw the woman out immediately.

  "Quickly, don't say anymore, don't provoke Brother Biao's anger." Xiang'er said, looking at Brother Biao with a apologetic expression: "Brother Biao, Sanmei is just like this, it's known, so let's not mind her."

  Lin Lan heard her call him "brother" one by one, as if she had a lot of thoughts about this brother. She was so gentle and virtuous, what was the hurry? Don't think she couldn't see through it, Ke'er was arrogant and willful, but just a brainless firecracker, while Ye Xiner had many tricks up her sleeve, she was using Ke'er to test Li Mingyun's intentions.

  Li Mingyun's expression was indifferent, his tone severe: "Lin Lan is my wife, she is your aunt-in-law, you can dislike her, but don't let me hear you say anything bad about her again." After that, Li Mingyun pulled Lin Lan's hand and said: "We should go now, Second Aunt is still waiting for us at the shop."

  Lin Lan smiled sweetly, pretending to be very happy, and followed Li Mingyun. She didn't forget to turn her head back to Ye Xiner and Ye Ke'er, giving them a proud smile that made them want to die from anger.

  Yekuo was so angry that she stomped her feet and pointed at the distant figure of the annoying woman, saying: "Second sister, look! Is this kind of woman worthy of being our brother-in-law? I think our brother has gone crazy, his mind is possessed by a ghost."

  Ye Xiner also stared at the back, and the cold meaning that was covered up was released without any concealment. She said coldly: "She won't be smug for long."

  "What should we do?" Ye Ke'er asked anxiously.

  Yexi'er's lip corners slightly raised, a cold smile: "What's the hurry? There are people who dislike her more than us, just wait! I dare to bet that even if Brother Li brings her to the capital, she still won't be able to enter the Li family's gate."

  Li Mingyu led Lin Lan out, and Lin Lan felt her palm burning as he held her hand. Although she came from the 21st century and wasn't so conservative, holding hands was no big deal, but why did he have to hold hers? Wasn't she a human being, not a puppy? Didn't he see the surprise on the faces of the servants along the way? Lin Lan struggled, and he turned back to give her a light glance, as if warning her to behave, but his hand held hers even tighter. Lin Lan glared at the back of his head, thinking to herself: Is this guy trying to take advantage of the situation?

  The two of them had just exited the Ye Manor's main gate when Li Mingyu finally let go, and the servants had already prepared the horse carriage in wait. Seeing that Young Master had come out, they hastily moved a small stool over to help Young Master and his wife get on board.

  Li Mingyu carefully helped Lin Lan into the car.

  As soon as Lin Lan sat on the horse carriage, she began to interrogate: "Why are you dragging me along and won't let go?"

  Li Mingyan smoothed out his clothes and said seriously, "I'm making my attitude clear. I think that from now on, no one in the mansion will question my feelings again."

  It turned out to be this purpose, Lin Lan's mood improved again, and she looked at him with a tilted head, smiling meaningfully: "Hey! That, just now said that, isn't afraid of hurting that delicate little sister?"

  Li Mingyun's expression was slightly unnatural: "Anyway, we'll be leaving in a few days. If we see Ke'er again during these days and she is still being disrespectful, just ignore her."

  "That's not possible, you know I'm the most careful one, I can't just take it and not fight back." Lin Lan rolled her eyes in disdain.

  Li Ming Yan silently stared at her for a while, shaking his head with a bitter smile: "It's better to save the skills for use in the capital! The people there are much more difficult to deal with than Ke Er, besides, we should also leave some face for Second Aunt. Second Aunt is still quite good to us."
