Chapter 43 (1/2)
Fan Xian sat down, ignoring the boy, and offered his little sister a seat ”Who's the boy?” he asked, s lad was, but he wasn't going to say anything
”I' master of the Fan family” He looked Fan Xian in the eyes ”Hmph So you're the bastard”
He heard a faint sound, and tried to catch sight Lady Liu in the corner of his eye To his surprise, she had already left, and he wasn't sure where she'd gone It seemed she had intentionally allowed her son to co his efforts to remain calm In any case, if he acted inappropriately, there was the excuse that Sizhe was still young and unaware of how he should behave
A strange smile crept across Fan Xian's face He was already ahen he left Danzhou that the Count's heir was a bad-te boy For his father's sake, Fan Xian decided that he would co his 'little brother' to prevent hi the house of Fan into disrepute
But taking on this task was ained for
”Give me your hand,” said Ruoruo, coldly As she said this, she pulled out a ruler
”Why?” mumbled Fan Sizhe His face was filled with fear, and yet he still obediently extended his hand
Two solid whacks later, Fan Sizhe's hand was left with two red ritted his teeth and tried to keep them back ”But sis, he is a bast”
Before the word could leave his ht the ruler down on his hand again, her expression coed
Fan Xian realized that the coldness of his sister's manner, in the eyes of most people, would seem rather repressed
”First of all, you are to call him ‘older brother’ Second of all, you understand our family's status, so you shall not make such awful remarks Third of all, if you will not respect your elder brother, then you will be punished”
Fan Ruoruo spoke coldly The way she gripped the ruler in her hand reentle on the outside, but ferociously strict on the inside
Fan Sizhe looked Fan Xian resolutely in the eyes, pressed his lips together tight, and ran away towards the rear courtyard
”Every tihed Fan Ruoruo
”I ondering what he was about to say”
”He'll think twice before saying it again”
”It's quite funny to watch you be so strict with hi funny about discipline, brother”
”Why do you carry a ruler to hit hiave me the authority to discipline him”
”It seems I was mistaken in my analysis of how the world works”
”You mean, in terms of male authority?”
”Uh-huh There's still the question of distribution of power in the household”
