"Hahahaha..."

Bao Wenxuan laughed until she was out of breath, "No way, Zhang Sisi can control you now?

Really? Wen Ran, you’re fearless.

In the end, you’re actually afraid of Zhang Sisi?"

Wen Ran: "...You’re wrong, this isn’t fear, it’s called a tactical retreat."

Good shoes don’t step on dog feces.

Please let her enjoy her own company, okay?

Someone like Zhang Sisi, who’s so unlucky, just a nuisance, should be left to cool off somewhere far away."

"Hahahahaha," Bao Wenxuan clutched her stomach, laughing non-stop, "So you do have something you’re scared of."

Watching Bao Wenxuan’s hysterical laughter, Wen Ran gritted her teeth, really wanting to push Bao Wenxuan into the river to clear her mind.

However, she was still somewhat curious about Zhang Sisi.

"By the way, what’s going on with Zhang Sisi? Liu Tianci, isn’t he a cripple?"

Back then, that mischief, it was her doing.

"Oh, don’t mention it, heard she’s pregnant, now acting like a matriarch at home."

Wen Ran: "?"

She was shocked, "So soon?"

"Not soon," Bao Wenxuan pouted, "You think she’s like you? That Zhang Sisi and Liu Tianci, neither is very honest.

Before they even held the banquet, someone caught them sneaking into the grove."

Wen Ran: "!!!"

She suddenly got excited, "Really?"

"Really," Bao Wenxuan said with difficulty, "Honestly, if you don’t release ducks, you wouldn’t know. The Silly Deer Team looks simple, but there are plenty of secret trysts."

As the conversation took this turn, Bao Wenxuan didn’t hold back anymore.

Like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, she recounted her experiences to Wen Ran.

Wen Ran: "!"

Shocked!

The number of secret trysts hidden in the reeds was probably as many as wild ducks.

Moreover, these people really adore nature.

Groves, mountainsides, grasslands, reed clusters, cornfields...

The braver the person, the bigger the scene of action.

Bao Wenxuan looked numb, "You know, some things are known by everyone but can’t be said aloud.

Whoever says it breaks the balance and leaves someone embarrassed, then it becomes a big issue."

Humans are indeed complex creatures.

Ancestors once said, knowing what you know and admitting what you don’t is true knowledge.

But quite a large group of people pretend to be confused despite understanding the truth.

Bao Wenxuan mocked, "You know, these bold people have quite a decent life and also!"

She emphasized knowing a person’s face doesn’t mean knowing their heart.

Even seemingly honest uncles could have ten secret trysts.

Wen Ran: "!"

Gasp~

Really shocked her for a century.

But...

Wen Ran felt baffled, weren’t she and Bao Wenxuan talking about Zhang Sisi earlier?

How did it switch to secret trysts?

Bao Wenxuan: "..."

She regarded it seriously, "What we’re talking about isn’t important, what’s important is that we’re chatting together."

Indeed!

This statement rings damned true.

"Hehehe," Wen Ran joked: "Actually, when we just started working in the countryside, I’ve almost forgotten those young intellectuals with their crazy ideas.

It’s just Zhang Sisi, like an indestructible cockroach, always hopping by, showing off her existence."

"Who says not?"

Bao Wenxuan clicked her tongue, "You don’t even know, this pregnancy nearly exhausted the two remaining girls of the Liu Family.

She almost considers herself the Supreme Emperor."

"Hahahaha, the Great Qing Dynasty is gone, our Empress Zhang Sisi has crowned herself in the Silly Deer Team."

Wen Ran’s sharp tongue, capable of poisoning herself with a single lick.

Bao Wenxuan laughed till she almost fell over, "Hahaha, you say I’m mean, but when you speak, you’re more infuriating."

"Get lost," Wen Ran watched as Old Wolf and Hetao washed Songzhu in the river, paused, and gave Zhang Sisi a title.

"Let’s call her the Silly Deer Empress, how about it? The name isn’t pretty but it’s fitting."

The Silly Deer Empress crowned within the Silly Deer Team.

Bao Wenxuan laughed even louder, "Hahahaha..."

Wen Ran was also smiling widely, until a gritting voice sounded behind them, "Feeling smug gossiping behind my back, you two?"

Wen Ran: "?"

She turned around with a confused look, meeting the furious gaze of Zhang Sisi.

Emm.

It proves you shouldn’t talk behind someone’s back, especially not in such an undefended place, spewing nonsense as you please.

The main character is right before them.

Wen Ran thought long and hard, hm~

Feels quite satisfying indeed~

She’s not afraid of Zhang Sisi, that useless Liu Tianci, in front of her, is like a mouse before a cat, makes no difference.

She laughed slyly, "How does it feel to hear us gossiping about you? Enjoying it?"

"Do I look like I’m enjoying it?"

Indeed.

Zhang Sisi’s face was almost green with anger, clearly not looking like she’s enjoying herself.

But...

"What’s it got to do with me," Wen Ran remained self-assured, "I’m happy, whether you’re happy or not, why should I care."

Zhang Sisi fell back in anger, "You don’t care about me, then why ask?"

"I have a mouth," Wen Ran replied matter-of-factly, "I can ask whenever I want, the same way you ask me questions."

Considering she’s pregnant, Wen Ran decided to show 1% kindness to Zhang Sisi.

That’s all she’d get for sure.

Wen Ran grinned, "I’ll answer if I feel like it, if not, I’ll ignore you."

In just a few words, Wen Ran successfully broke Zhang Sisi’s defenses.

Once her defenses were broken, she could only pathetically point at Wen Ran, trembling.

And then tears welled up in her eyes.

After all, she couldn’t insult back, couldn’t win the argument, and couldn’t fight.

No matter how angry, it was the kind of anger that left one feeling helpless.

"Okay, okay," Liu Tianci also feared Wen Ran, so he petted Zhang Sisi soothingly, "Don’t be angry, let’s not remember the petty wrongs.

Come on, come on, don’t forget why we’re here today."

Zhang Sisi calmed her anger a bit.

Wen Ran stood up, took a few steps towards Liu Tianci, and without hesitation kicked him.

"What nonsense, ’not remembering petty wrongs,’ have I given you any respect?"

Wen Ran acted with total double standards, with hands on her hips, cursing, "I insult you guys, you don’t dare fight back, just take it.

But if you insult me, I’ll surely fight back."

Liu Tianci fell flat, feeling numb, "Why don’t you argue back? We haven’t touched you!"

"Fool, fighting back is more satisfying!"

All hits land hard.

Hey ha!
