Yun Ling Xuan could not help but feel funny when she saw the excited eyes of ShangGuan Yan Lan, and the appearance of ShangGuan Liang holding his breath and being nervous. Her silence made everyone nervous. But with so many people standing around her, who was truly worried and care about her?
She looked at Uncle He, who was on the verge of speaking. She was thinking that he was the only one who was good to her and didn't want the Yun Family to decline.

"What did cousin mean? In the past, little sister would give cousin things was because my parents were still around. What little sister wanted, I could get it again. But now, father and mother are no longer around. No one will give little sister another Tao Di Restaurant. So, even if this restaurant has close down, that will only be Xuan-er's fault. I will definitely not give this restaurant to cousin." Xuan-er said slowly with the tone of helplessness. But the meaning in her words had made the people present changed their faces, especially ShangGuan Yan Lan's.

She looked at the innocent-faced Yun Ling Xuan. She felt that something wasn't right, but she couldn't tell where was wrong.

"Ah yo... Xuan-er, aren't you and your cousin the best? This Tao Di Restaurant's business is so bad and the shopkeeper is already here to ask for help. Why not you just agree to give this restaurant to your cousin." Madam Jiao thought Yun Ling Xuan was still her usual self, very easy to coax. She laughed and said, "If you don't agree, your cousin will definitely cry when she gets back home. Both of you are good sisters, and both of you have promised to marry the same man and be good sisters for life. You can't bear to see your cousin sad, right?"

When she heard Madam Jiao's pompous words, Ling Xuan really wanted to laugh. But she was worried that after she laughed, things would get more troublesome. She then grabbed her tiger's mouth and told herself not to laugh, to avoid something bad.
"Aunt, didn't cousin tell you?" Yun Ling Xuan looked at ShangGuan Yan Lan with a curious crooked head and said, "My jokes with cousin are long gone." Seeing Madam Jiao's eyes wide open, Ling Xuan gave her no chance to talk, "Xuan-er's father and mother are gone, and my elder brother is still missing. Before I find my elder brother, Xuan-er will protect the Yun Family, so I will never marry anyone, even when I am 20 or 30 years old... Does Aunt also want cousin to wait so long?"

Their hearts were deep. She said this was because she wanted to completely break the idea of marrying the same man with ShangGuan Yan Lan.

Madam Jiao wanted to say more. But when she heard Yun Ling Xuan's words, she couldn't help but retreat.

Everything else was easy to discuss. But by the age of twenty or so, wasn't her house's Lan-er in bad luck? So, she said quickly, "In that case, since it is just a joke between children, let's not take it into heart!"

Ha! This was their so-called deep sister relationship. Yun Ling Xuan mocked in her heart and showed nothing on her face.

"Xuan-er, your mother has left you so much stuff. It's just one Tao Di Restaurant and you see it so important? Don't you think of Lan-er as your elder sister?" ShangGuan Liang saw his wife and daughter couldn't convince Yun Ling Xuan, so he was forced to raise his voice with anger.

This tone, if someone else was present, would ShangGuan Liang still be so straightforward? Ling Xuan couldn't help but feel sad for herself and her mother. Although her mother was not ShangGuan Family's biological daughter, she put in lots of effort for them. ShangGuan Liang could become an official, was all thanks to her father.

They were indeed very ungrateful.
