Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 698: Come On, Let’s Go to Confinement!
Yun Ran watched as Xuan Chu casually pinched the flower she had painstakingly nurtured, a trace of a ’revenge accomplished’ smile appearing on his face.
Immediately, she cursed silently in her heart: Damn it, got totally fooled by this guy!!!
But Yun Ran was not someone who could be easily subdued. Her eyes flickered, and she quickly said, "I can go to the confinement room anytime, wasn’t I busy with important matters before!"
Anyway, when facing the ’punishments’ from her little uncle, she always had a way around it.
As long as she entered the ’Confinement Room’, it meant she was confined!
The original basement of Ran Mansion had long been transformed by Yun Ran; it even had a media room inside. So even if she was confined, it wouldn’t be difficult to endure.
Yun Ran looked Xuan Chu up and down, then glared at him fiercely, as if to say, ’Just you wait’!
Then she waved her hand grandly, shouting to the little papermen, "Let’s go to confinement!"
The little papermen immediately put down their toys, lining up obediently to follow Yun Ran out the back door of the main building.
Xuan Chu was dumbfounded watching this scene. What, couldn’t Yun Ran take a joke?
Oops, he seemed to have taken things too far.
Having just let go of the apprehension in his heart, looking at Yun Ran and the little papermen, everything seemed full of lively energy.
He inexplicably felt like some overly jealous folks on the internet: Oh, so happy, being confined made her so compliant!
Who would have thought that Yun Ran would go to confinement so ’openly’ like that.
This time, Xuan Chu truly felt a bit guilty, especially after Yun Ran’s ’warning’ earlier,
It seemed, in the future, he had to be more careful, he mustn’t give Yun Ran evidence against him, or else he’d be in trouble for sure.
"No, I need to remedy this..."
Saying this, Xuan Chu looked again at the flower in his hand, wondering why he had to be so impulsive and big mouthed before?
Xuan Chu thought, Yun Ran surely wasn’t willingly going to confinement.
Meanwhile, Yun Ran took out some eye drops, dripping them into her eyes, looking pitiful, just as the tears were about to fall.
The little paperman switched several positions, capturing the scene from different angles.
"Master, we’ve got the pictures, they came out great, guaranteeing Master Huai Yi will think you truly realized your wrongdoings."
Although Yun Ran feared her little uncle and always accepted her punishments obediently, she had her own clever ways.
She could turn three parts of remorse into twelve, making her little uncle, whose anger was skyrocketing, immediately reluctant to punish her further.
"Alright, as long as it’s filmed well. Since it’s about confinement, we have to look the part, so let’s skip the barbecue and just set out some snacks, to avoid too much smell."
"Okay, Master!"
Yun Ran arrived once more at the basement that had once imprisoned her. It was now devoid of the gloom and stench of decay it used to have.
In its place was a spacious, bright area. The floor had been completely redone, refilled with clean soil and expensive tiles laid down. Rare carpets ’borrowed’ from certain storerooms added to the décor.
As for the mouse holes, they were naturally sealed up, and everything in there now had countless zeros behind it.
If any of it got gnawed on by mice, it would truly be heartbreaking.
Of course, Yun Ran didn’t go for the kill, she found a good place for those mice.
After all, they had once helped Yun Ran, receiving a bit of her favor, ensuring them a worry-free life.
This transformed basement amazed any visitor as it bore no resemblance to the once dark cell it used to be.
Yun Ran was very satisfied with the arrangement here, lazily flopping onto her favorite beanbag chair.
The little papermen were busying themselves, adjusting everything to Yun Ran’s utmost comfort.
The snacks were all opened and neatly arranged.
She didn’t even need to move, as the little papermen eagerly fed her right at her mouth.
Enjoying these, Yun Ran squinted her eyes, recalling how, in the past, her master would tap her forehead, accusing her of not focusing on her serious studies whenever she crafted these little papermen.
If Master could see this moment now, he’d probably envy her easy life.
No matter how many disciples he accepted, the obedient ones were a blessing, and she had all the say in that.
Caring for these self-created magic artifacts was different; they were obedient and sensible, causing no worries.
After stuffing herself full, Yun Ran felt a bit sleepy, waving her hand.
The little papermen immediately stopped what they were doing and considerately flew into their exclusive ’confinement room’.
No matter what, it was still confinement. Although somewhat of a sham, appearance still mattered, right?
Yun Ran squinted, the aroma of the incense lit by the little papermen lingered around her nose.
Beside her lay a shiny piece of Jade, and gradually a gentle Buddhist Chant began to play.
...
After waking up from a nap, Yun Ran felt utterly refreshed, even the fine aches on her body were somewhat alleviated.
Yun Ran got up, picked up the Jade holding a small door open next to her, and walked in.
Sitting cross-legged, she didn’t forget to turn on a pinhole camera placed nearby.
She rubbed her face, adjusted her expression, and Yun Ran began to seriously ’reflect’.
Time ticked by, minute by minute.
To Yun Ran, the three days passed in the blink of an eye.
But for Xuan Chu, those days felt like years.
He accompanied her through those days, ending up with a scruffy beard and eyes red from exhaustion, looking utterly haggard.
When Ginsengfruit returned and saw Xuan Chu like this, he was shocked.
"Were you drained of your Essence Qi by a goblin!!!"
Xuan Chu:...
His red eyes bore a trace of resentment as he looked at Ginsengfruit, "Why did you just now return?"
Evidently, he had called Ginsengfruit when Yun Ran went for confinement.
Yet Ginsengfruit only returned after three days.
In Xuan Chu’s eyes, Yun Ran being confined for three days without coming out was a monumental issue.
Yet to Ginsengfruit, it was just his Host spending three days of eating and drinking.
But Ginsengfruit, of course, couldn’t expose his Host.
He immediately solemnly declared, "Since it’s confinement, it surely cannot be disturbed. I’ve returned now just in time to retrieve the master."
Xuan Chu, feeling ashamed and guilty, refrained from reproaching Ginsengfruit.
After all, he was just a child, lacking understanding about many things, how could he expect him to grasp things clearly?
