Chapter 400: Who hasn't had a little temper?

urned her little head this way and that, always sensing something amiss, but after being tapped twice by the Lord Hou, she settled down obediently.In Xindu, this morning was unusually lively. From the...Zhimin and Xujie, without even mentioning their studies, must have received excellent upbringing considering they come from such a family.

Seeing that all the little guests had arrived, they took on the responsibility of the little hosts and invited the little guests to gather together to talk.

Jia Yin was originally standing between Zhi Min and Xiu Jie, but a little girl of seven or eight years old, for some reason, squeezed in directly.

Jiayin was caught off guard and almost fell, luckily Xiujie helped her up, preventing her from landing on all fours.

Xiu Jie was very angry and scolded the little girl, "Lan Lan, what's the matter with you Why did you suddenly squeeze over here"

Little Lanlan was not particularly beautiful, just plain pretty. She was also very thin and frail, with a delicate, willow-like fragility.

When scolded, she seemed a little flustered and wronged, her eyes reddening as she apologized, "Second cousin, I just hadn't seen you and Eldest cousin in a long time. I wanted to say hello and accidentally bumped into this little sister…"

Short steamed bun!

Jiayin originally only heard a hint of green tea flavor, but the three words "daibaobao" made her unhappy.

She's just a child, she hasn't grown yet, so what if she's short

It's fine to be short, but adding "baozi" (meaning steamed bun) to it is just insulting.

Zhi Min and Xiu Jie also didn't sound happy. Zhi Min frowned and said, "Fu Niuer sister is a county princess, you should remember your manners when speaking!"

Lanlan's eyes turned even redder. She dabbed at them with her handkerchief, then turned to Jiayin and whispered, "Little sister, I've always been straightforward. It wasn't that I looked down on you because you're chubby and short. I just wanted to have a little fun with you. You're so cute, you wouldn't blame your older sister, would you"

Jia Yin's mind screamed a thousand curses, but her face remained plastered with a fake smile. "Who are you You must have the wrong person. My mother only gave birth to me; I don't have a sister."

She took a step back, taking Zhimin's hand. "Brother Zhimin, she's so strange! Why is she randomly claiming to be related My father doesn't have concubines, my mother only gave birth to me and my brother!"

The little chubby girl had a face full of confusion, with a hint of grievance, which made Zhìmín hurriedly coax her, "Fúniuer, don't think too much, she has nothing to do with you. She is the child of my second uncle's concubine's sister's family. She has always been so strange."

Jia Yin blinked her big eyes, still confused and asked, "Brother Min, are you saying that she's a child from a concubine's family, but not my father's concubine So she's not my older sister, is she"

Zhimín was also confused and quickly nodded, "Yes, you don't need to pay attention to her."

Having said that, he quickly took Jia Yin's hand and called the rest of the little guests into the pavilion to eat fruit.

Children just love to eat jade melons and golden fruits. They ate so much during the summer that they can't get enough, and now seeing them again, of course, they are delighted.

Soon, everyone sat together and shared the fruit platter. Xiu Jie then had someone bring over a box of small things he liked in his daily life.

There are toy carriages that run when you wind them up, slingshots, and wooden birds with eggs inside their bellies.

Jia Yin saw three other little girls, seemingly uninterested. She took out several small, delicate raindrop stones and two sachets from her bag, and played with them by catching stones together.

When she was done playing with the stones, she took out a handful of round pearls from her purse, replacing the apricot pits, and scattered them on the table.

Draw a line between each two beans, and then pluck them with your fingernails.

Once you hit it, a pearl will retract.

The little girls were all young and loved to play. They were having a great time playing with Jiayin, cheering and celebrating every pearl they won.

Lalan wanted to join in, but she refused to lower her head. She could only stand behind everyone else, her eyes welling up with tears, as if someone had bullied her.

Jia Yin ignored her, feeling secretly pleased.

A little green tea that hasn't reached its full potential, acting up so early, don't blame her for being ruthless with the brewing. Let her taste the bitterness of exclusion first.

Who hasn't had a little temper tantrum!

Clearly, Lanlan didn't want to admit defeat like that. Taking advantage of the fact that a pearl had fallen to the ground and Jia Yin was crouching down to pick it up, she stretched out her foot to step on Jia Yin's skirt.

If she were to stand up, her skirt would be stepped on from behind, causing her to fall backwards and land headfirst onto the stone table.

Luckily, Dongmei was always by her side. Before she could even take a step, Dongmei quickly and skillfully scooped up Jiayin.

And the crowd was startled and looked over at once, clearly seeing Lanlan’s foot that she hadn't had time to pull back.

Zhi Min was immediately annoyed, "Lan Lan, what are you doing Do you want to step on Fu Niuer's skirt and make her fall"

"Just that," Xiu Jie grabbed Lan Lan's wrist directly, "How could you be so bad! Fu Niu'er got hurt on the back of her head, and if she hits it again, it'll be serious!"

The rest of the little girls and boys also looked at Lanlan with disgust.

Especially the little girls, they were having a great time playing with Jiayin. Jiayin was younger than them, but she was willing to take out her beloved raindrop stones and pearls to share with them.

How can someone so cute, kind, and generous like little sister Lanlan always think of bullying others!

They were not old enough to have deep understanding or prejudice about distinctions like concubines and mistresses.

But at this moment, they instinctively thought that the children of concubines were truly bad, at least lacking in manners and with wicked intentions!

Lanlan was stared at by her friends and scolded by her beloved cousin, so she burst into tears, "I thought I dropped a pearl, I was afraid it would roll away, so I wanted to help step on it. I didn't mean to make anyone fall."

As she spoke, she tugged at Zhi Min's sleeve again, tears rolling down her cheeks like beads. "Cousin, please believe me, okay It's all her fault. She framed me because she's afraid I'll take you away from her…"

Zhimín impatiently shook off her hand and shouted, "What's yours and mine I belong to myself, no one can take me away!"

"Besides, don't call me uncle! You're just a relative from my second uncle's concubine's side. You're not even a real relative of our family, so don't get too close!"

This is too harsh, it completely ruined Lanlan's reputation.

Just now, in the flower hall, she was talking with a few young girls, but she kept claiming to be Miss Liu's cousin. As a result, the Liu family didn't recognize her at all.

She glared fiercely at Jia Yin, then burst into tears and ran away, crying, "You all bully me, you wait!"

In the pavilion, there was a moment of awkwardness. The young men and women looked at each other, their faces full of disgust!

Xiao Jie muttered grumpily, "She was the one being malicious, how come she's making it sound like we were bullying her!"

"Yeah, she kept crying like we had hit her!"

"Did she go to complain"

The other boys also chimed in, all feeling that they couldn't play with this little girl anymore; it was really boring.

Jia Yin reached out and took the hands of the two little girls, asking pitifully, "Little sisters, will their mothers scold our mothers Will they say we are bad children, that our mothers didn't teach us well Will we be beaten when we go home"

After she finished speaking, she extended her right hand, revealing the fresh scar that had just healed, and started to sob softly. “Do older sisters get hurt when they’re beaten Getting hurt is painful, I don’t want the older sisters to be as pained as me!”

The children, having never seen such severe scars, immediately felt even more sorry for Jia Yin.

Hearing her say this, they felt fear for her being beaten, which made her cry so heartbreakingly. Their protective instincts were all on high alert.

They are all older than Jia Yin, how could they worry the little sister They are sisters and should protect their younger sister!

Let's go back! We can't let Lanlan report us, she deserves to be beaten!

"Yeah, we're going back too!"

The little girls were indignant and, forgetting their play, led Jiayin back home!
