Chapter 36: 36 Don’t look too ugly while eating! (2 more updates)

Seeing the disgust and aversion on the faces of the Yun Family members at this moment, Yun Ran couldn’t help but laugh.

The Yun Family has raised the original protagonist for so many years, reaping favours one can’t forget and accepting kindness that weakens the will to refuse. She acknowledges this cause and effect.

But the Yun Family has always used these means to suppress her, the male and female protagonists repeatedly infringing on her boundaries; she doesn’t want to endure it any longer.

Yun Ran didn’t react like the original protagonist – with a strong sense of pride, getting ruffled by Yun Wan’s ridicule, and flying into a rage to tear into a fight.

She merely cast a faint glance at Yun Wan and then took her gaze back.

But that look from Yun Ran nearly broke Yun Wan’s composure, clearly mocking her as a jumping clown!

Just as she was about to continue her tirade, the glance swept over from her older brother made her shut up and obediently sit down.

This scene did not escape Yun Ran’s eyes, a hint of mockery immediately flashed in her eyes.

The truly influential people of the Yun Family could stave off disputes with just a glance; yet, in this household, it has continued for a full ten years – truly an irony.

Yun Ran didn’t want to be toyed with like a monkey by these people anymore.

She brushed off the non-existent dust from her body, asked a servant to bring over a stool, and sat right opposite to them.

At this moment, there truly was a sense that she was being interrogated.

"Speak up. Rushing to drag me back from the outside so eagerly, what do you want to do, are the actors on the stage not sufficient? After watching the same play for ten years, aren’t you tired?"

Those who were originally waiting to see Yun Ran infuriated and shouting, so they could seize upon her weakness, all changed their expressions upon hearing Yun Ran’s words.

Yun Jinyang’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Yun Ran. He knew about the incidents that occurred at home, but he had never intervened.

Born into such a family, even one’s own siblings must be guarded against, let alone someone brought in from outside.

The more furious the younger brothers and sisters below made a scene, the more stable his position became - sometimes, he even took pleasure in such spectacles.

But now, Yun Ran’s words seemed to tell them that she knew what they wanted to see, so for these ten years, she had been play-acting along with them?

If that were the case, it would not be good news for Yun Jinyang.

He could treat his younger siblings impartially, but he would not allow anyone to exceed his control and expectations.

"Ranran, what nonsense are you talking about?"

The Yun Family members looked at the speaker, Yun Jinyang, their expressions growing more solemn – this was different from what they had anticipated.

Yun Ran crossed her legs in a casual manner, not responding immediately to Yun Jinyang, but instead ordered the remaining servants: "Go and prepare some food for me."

The servants who stayed were there to intervene in case she got into a fight with others, as it had always been the case in the past.

But this time, Yun Ran showed no intention of fighting and even commanded them to prepare food as if it was a given, which left the servants somewhat at a loss.

The servants glanced at Old Madam Yun and the other Mrs. Yun, whose faces had turned ashen, feeling for the first time that they were somewhat superfluous.

"What, I’m still the Third Miss of the Yun Family, is just asking you to prepare some food too much for you to handle now?"

Yun Ran’s voice carried an aura of uncontested authority, even the Old Madam across from her felt somewhat intimidated. freewēbnoveℓ.com

At the command of the Old Madam, the servants scurried off to prepare the food.

Yun Ran didn’t speak further, and those Yun Family members who were subtly confronting her were also silent.

Soon enough, the servant brought over a bowl of bird’s nest soup and some pastries, all of which were always prepared for Qu Ying’s tastes.

Yun Ran quickly finished the food and dismissed the servant, then turned her attention to Yun Jinyang.

"Big Brother, you know I’ve always respected you. Just give me your orders, and if I can do it, I will not shirk.

After all, the Yun Family has supported me for ten years. Although I don’t like you all, I wouldn’t be so ungrateful as to not recognize that favor.

I’m already 16, a grown girl, and in a couple of years, I’ll be an adult. Those childish plays at home are no longer necessary.

There’s no need to suppress me by deliberately provoking me, while at the same time showing a helpless front as if I’m unteachable.

These methods were indeed effective when I was young, a simple ’children are naive and unaware’ could make people imagine countless scenes where I was a brat.

But now that I’ve grown up, using these methods just seems a bit low. After all, the Yun Family is a prominent and noble family of Hai City; don’t make yourselves look too ugly!"

The Yun Family, over these years, had indeed gained quite a few benefits by leveraging Qu Ying’s persona of being modest, noncompetitive, and the perfect lady of the house.

And because such a perfect wife had a daughter who inherited her previous husband’s greedy genes, it elicited boundless sympathy.

Even the Yun Family’s adversaries often used this to mock them, weakening their guard against the Yun Family.

For a family, a good reputation is necessary, but not entirely composed of it, or else it would invite countless troubles. Thus, Yun Ran’s flaw perfectly neutralized many potential prying eyes and hostility.

It could be said that because of the existence of extremes like Qu Ying and Yun Ran, the Yun Family had reaped countless invisible benefits.

Listening to Yun Ran straightforwardly laying out these matters, the Yun Family members sitting opposite her all changed their complexions.

Yun Wan, especially, turned deathly pale. She wasn’t stupid, but the pampered life of these years blinded her. Was she also just a pawn?

Second Mrs. Yun was not a good-tempered person. She burst out immediately: "You’re nothing but a burden! If it weren’t for the Yun Family, could you eat well, dress well, or even attend a noble school?

Who gave you the audacity to speak like so; it’s truly lawless behavior. Surely following your trash genes, it was an eight-generation curse for the Yun Family to let you in the door..."

Yun Ran formed a hand seal and uttered the word ’forbid’. Second Madam’s mouth continued to open and close, but no sound came out.

She didn’t hide her capabilities; she wanted to give the Yun Family a sense of deterrence, not thinking she was the same pushover as the original host.

The Yun Family, except for Yun Jinyang and Yun Shaotang who had always remained silent, all showed expressions of shock and fear.

However, Yun Jinyang’s demeanor had also changed from initially indifferent to now solemn.

"Ranran, your second aunt didn’t mean any harm; it’s just that she has a bad temper..."

"Big brother, my patience is limited. If you’ve called me back not just to condemn me, then speak of the actual matter. If you’re not going to, then I am no longer willing to accompany you!"
