Chapter 134 You brat, what kind of father is this?
For the time being, Yu Ningyao couldn't think of a solution, so she decided to let things take their course.
Let's learn these two things first.
Too much to chew.
Cui Ruixin, who was not far away, heard their conversation and her face grew increasingly gloomy.
How lucky Yu Ningyao is to have caught the eye of General Lu.
Princess Ning Le was also paving the way for her.
If Yu Ningyao were to receive Zheng Yuanpan's personal medical instruction, all the noble ladies in the capital would have to treat her with more respect in the future.
She returned to the Marquis's residence, seething with anger.
Thinking that Chen Dongxi was still in the Marquis's mansion, Cui Ruixin ordered someone to embellish the story and spread it to Chen Dongxi's ears.
"Today is the Second Miss's birthday banquet. All the dignitaries in the capital have come. It's quite a grand occasion."
"The Shen family is incredibly generous. There's a red coral bonsai as tall as a person, a shell-carved folding fan, an ivory comb, and many other pieces of jewelry that I've never seen before. They all look extremely valuable."
"The Second Miss has even been taken in as an apprentice by General Lu. Everyone knows that General Lu uses a hammer. How could a beautiful young girl like the Second Miss possibly learn to use a hammer?"
"I think it's probably because General Lu has taken a liking to the Second Miss and wants her to be his granddaughter-in-law. General Lu's youngest grandson, Lu Lingguang, is six years old this year, about the same age as the Second Miss."
"However, the Third Master currently holds no official position, and the Third Madam comes from a merchant family, so their statuses are not well-matched. But the Second Miss becoming General Lu's apprentice is a different story."
"When the time comes, they will be childhood sweethearts, innocent and carefree. It will be a beautiful story for them to get married when they grow up."
Xiao He, Cui Ruixin's newly acquired maid, was following the madam's instructions to share her observations from today's banquet with Dai Mao, the maid who was guarding Chen Dongxi.
These words all reached Chen Dongxi's ears.
She couldn't help but ask, "Who is General Lu?"
Xiaohe replied, "General Lu is a veteran of three reigns and has made outstanding contributions to Xiangguo. Even the emperor has to give him some respect. His grandson is someone even a princess could marry."
Chen Dongxi felt as if something had stabbed her in the heart when she heard this.
On her birthday, only Uncle Yu came to celebrate with her.
The gift was just a pair of ordinary silver bracelets.
She is now twelve years old and will be getting married in a few years.
What kind of husband will Uncle Yu find for her then?
It's definitely impossible for someone from a family like General Lu's.
But Yu Ningyao isn't Uncle Yu's biological daughter, so why does she live such a good life?
Chen Dongxi's mind became increasingly twisted.
At this moment, Dai Mao couldn't help but sigh, "Second Miss is so lucky."
Chen Dong clenched his fists in anger, slammed the door, and went back inside.
Xiaohe completed the task assigned by the First Madam and left gracefully.
When Cui Ruixin learned of Chen Dongxi's actions, she smiled broadly.
"The third son hired tutors for her for so many years, how come she still looks so unpresentable? It's like all the knowledge she gained has gone to waste."
Revenge is never too late, even after ten years.
She planned to make her move when Chen Dongxi was about to come of age and get married.
It's almost over; there are only a few years left.
……
After Yu Ningyao's birthday celebration.
The next day, Yu Kangjing took her to the general's mansion to become his apprentice.
"Yaoyao's here." Lu Qingyun couldn't help but smile when he saw the father and daughter.
Of course, he was smiling at Yu Ningyao.
Yu Kangjing was completely ignored.
Who told him to repeatedly obstruct Yu Ningyao from becoming his apprentice yesterday?
Yu Kangjing knew he was not well received, so he quickly finished presenting the apprenticeship gift and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell his daughter:
"My dear Yaoyao, if you can learn, then learn as much as you can. If you can't learn, then eat more and don't tire yourself out. I heard the chef at the General's Mansion is very skilled. After you finish learning, Daddy will send someone to pick you up this afternoon."
“Yes, Father.” Yu Ningyao agreed.
Lu Qingyun glared at him.
You brat, what kind of father are you?
"Master, where do we start learning?" Yu Ningyao looked at Lu Qingyun expectantly.
Lu Qingyun's gaze fell on her, and his smile immediately became much more amiable.
"I observe that you are agile and nimble, so some light-footed kung fu would suit you better. However, you still need to master the basics. Start with stance training and horse stance."
“Okay.” Yu Ningyao did not object and obediently began to practice the horse stance.
Lu Lingguang was very unhappy to learn that the hammer his grandfather was going to give him had been snatched away by a little girl.
They came to give her a hard time.
When he arrived at the training ground, he saw his usually serious grandfather cheerfully wiping the sweat from a little girl's brow and encouraging her to keep going. He felt like the sky had fallen.
His grandfather had never treated him so gently when he first started learning the horse stance.
He said he didn't want to study and couldn't keep going, so his grandfather would throw him into the ancestral hall and make him repeat his words of not wanting to study while looking at the ancestral tablets.
At first, he didn't dare to speak up, but after being thrown in there many times, he dared to say he didn't want to study anymore, and his grandfather rewarded him with a "bamboo shoot stir-fried with pork" (a Chinese idiom for being forced to eat something similar).
He simply stuck to it.
When it was a stranger, my grandfather was surprisingly gentle.
This is so unfair!!!
He planned to scare the little girl hard when her grandfather wasn't around, so she wouldn't dare come again tomorrow.
……
He observed from the shadows for a long time.
Finally, my grandfather was called away.
He appeared immediately.
He stood with his hands on his hips and shouted, "Hey, you're not allowed to come to my house tomorrow! You're absolutely not cut out for martial arts. A delicate little girl like you should stay at home and embroider!"
Yu Ningyao glanced at him.
He's quite cute, but he speaks with such a fatherly tone at such a young age.
"Master said I'm very talented, a genius that comes along only once in a century, but I won't listen to you." Yu Ningyao snorted, having learned his identity from the system, and decided not to argue with him.
"Besides, your master's wife also practices martial arts and even accompanied your master to the battlefield. Do you dare to ask her to stay at home and embroider in front of her?"
Lu Lingguang's face instantly turned bright red.
"How can you compare yourself to my grandmother!"
"Oh, so your teacher's wife is your grandmother." Yu Ningyao drawled out her words.
"If we calculate it that way, your father is my senior brother, so you are my eldest nephew. You should call me aunt."
Lu Lingguang was so angry that his neck and ears turned red.
"You wish! You're younger than me, you should call me brother."
"No, nephew, you should call me aunt!" Yu Ningyao made a face at him when she saw him jumping up and down in anger.
"You, you, you, if you've got the guts, let's fight. I'll talk after you beat me!" Lu Lingguang stomped his feet in anger.
“You’ve been learning martial arts for several years, and you’re fighting someone who’s only been learning for half a day. Do you think it’s honorable to beat me?” Yu Ningyao spread her hands.
"Then what do you suggest we do?!" Lu Lingguang was unknowingly led by the nose by her.
