Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze cooled slightly. “Apparently not.”  

Then there was nothing more to say.  

She and Qin Yanran weren’t close anyway.  

Was she expected to participate in a pretentious family reunion?  

She hadn’t even acknowledged Qin Canglan, so why would she acknowledge a complete stranger like Qin Yanran?  

Qin Yanran watched as Su Xiaoxiao turned to leave. 

Never having been so ignored before, a wave of grievance suddenly welled up in her heart.  

“It’s not my fault!”  

She was born into the Qin family, raised in the Qin family, and brought up since childhood as Qin Canglan’s granddaughter. 

She knew nothing about the grudges of the previous generation.  

Nor had she ever schemed against anyone.  

Why did Su Xiaoxiao ignore her the moment she returned?  

The more Qin Yanran spoke, the more she felt wronged by all the injustice she had suffered. 

“We’ve already moved out from our original residence and into the remote and cold Western Manor. I endure constant staring and whispering from the servants… Do you know how those people gossip about us behind our backs?”  

“Why should I care?” 

Su Xiaoxiao indifferently interrupted her words. 

“Whether you live well or not has nothing to do with me.”  

Qin Yanran choked, “You—”  

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Don’t talk about how innocent you are. I have no obligation to sympathize with you, and I certainly won’t.”  

Moving into the Western Manor was a hardship? 

Her father had gnawed on tree bark, eaten clay, slept in cowsheds, and done hard labor everywhere since he was a child, who had ever pitied his suffering?  

Ergou grew up hungry, he would be very grateful to have anything to eat. 

“You’ve taken immense advantage, yet you still have the nerve to come crying to me about your grievances? Who gave you the audacity?”  

Qin Yanran was left dumbfounded! 

The young ladies of the capital were always indirect in their speech, layering their words with seventeen or eighteen hidden meanings, as if anything less would make them appear unrefined—  

Su Xiaoxiao’s bluntness was like a sharp knife, slicing through all pretenses of elegance.   

Qin Yanran had never encountered such a direct confrontation, she was left speechless for a long moment.  

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “You keep saying it’s not your fault, so why are you here seeking attention from me? Do you want to tell me that I ‘unintentionally’ harmed you, an innocent young lady, and that I should feel guilty? That I should be restless? Why don’t you just fly to the heavens?”  

The young ladies of the capital cherished their reputations dearly. 

How could she be so aggressive without fear of tarnishing her own reputation?  

Or was it because she came from the countryside and only understood such crude language?  

Qin Yanran’s face turned pale. 

“You… you can’t speak to me like this… I am your aunt!”  

That’s right, even if she was no longer the young lady of the Duke Protector’s household, she still outranked her in terms of seniority!  

“Mommy!”  

When the three children heard Su Xiaoxiao’s voice, they went out to find her.  

Su Xiaoxiao patted their little heads. 

“Weren’t you in class? Why did you come out?”  

Dahu said, “Missed Mommy.”  

Erhu stated, “Erhu missed mommy too.”  

Xiaohu declared, “Xiaofu (Xiaohu) missed mommy the most!”  

Su Xiaoxiao burst into laughter.  

Qin Yanran stared blankly at Su Xiaoxiao.  

The coldness Su Xiaoxiao had shown her earlier had gone. 

Her eyes now shone with pure tenderness as she looked at the three children.  

Wait, were these little ones her sons?  

They were here too…… to study?  

Master Zhang came out.

Seeing the three little ones, he breathed a sigh of relief, “You guys…. no more running around, understand?”

“Teacher.” Qin Yanran greeted him with a proper student’s bow.

Master Zhang nodded. “Yanran, you’re here.”

Qin Yanran asked, “Master Zhang, did you… take these children as disciples? I thought you said you don’t accept anyone as disciples?”

Master Zhang was extremely selective when it came to taking disciples. 

Many children from powerful and influential families had sought to study under him, only to be rejected.

Moreover, he didn’t accept beginners, they had to have at least a few years of foundation.

“Ah, it wasn’t me who took them in.” Master Zhang said.

Qin Yanran inexplicably felt relieved.

Master Zhang glanced toward a prodigal man under the corridor, suppressing his frustration as he said, “That person took them in.”

Qin Yanran said, “So it was Senior Brother.”

“Senior Brother?” 

Master Zhang frowned and looked at Qin Yanran. 

“He’s not your senior brother.”

Qin Yanran was taken aback.

Master Zhang stated, “He is my teacher.”

Qin Yanran was speechless with disbelief. 

After a long pause, she looked at the three little ones and said, “Then they are……”

Master Zhang replied, “They are my junior brothers, and your three little uncles.”

They were her little uncles? Then their mother’s seniority… wouldn’t that make her equivalent to her grand-teacher?

She.….. had become that girl’s grand-disciple?!
