My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

Since it is the New Year’s Eve dinner at the Prime Minister’s residence, naturally everyone has to attend.

Mei Xueer hadn't seen Aunt Li and Mei Zhihua for a long time. When she saw them again, she found that they had restrained themselves a lot.

The two of them sat very properly, and Mei Zhihua kept fluttering her eyelids, looking at this and that.

That look seems like he has a grudge against everyone.

Mei Xueer followed the principle of "If you don't provoke me today, I won't provoke you" and sat down next to Shen without even looking at them.

"In the past year, a lot of things happened in our Mei family. Fortunately, everything has been settled. The family is still doing well, and it can be considered a happy ending." Prime Minister Mei raised his glass, "Today is the New Year, let's all have a drink. I hope that next year..."

"What's wrong?" Mei Zhihua looked unhappy.

Aunt Li quickly covered her mouth and pulled her sleeve to make her shut up.

But this made Mei Zhihua even more angry. She pushed away Aunt Li's hand, stood up, and sneered, "My mother and I will be driven to the manor after the New Year. When father said 'good' and 'perfect', did it not include us? Could it be that my mother and I are not from this mansion?"

Prime Minister Mei was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead and he slammed the wine glass down on the table.

Mei Xueer stood up before Mei Jiayun, her face livid as she said in a stern voice, "Second sister, do you know who you are talking to?! If you don't want to stay here, go back to your room!"

"You bitch, you can't have children and you seduce men everywhere. What qualifications do you have to yell at me?" Mei Zhihua gritted her teeth. "There's no hope anyway, so I don't have to be afraid of you anymore!"

Prime Minister Mei was so angry that his face turned pale and he was about to slap him.

Before he could make a move, a longan flew over and hit Mei Zhihua's right eye directly.

She screamed, covered her eyes, her face full of pain, and looked around like a mad dog, "Who is it, who?"

"It's me, what's wrong with you? Want to fight back? I'm not afraid of you!"

When Mei Jiayun and Mei Xueer heard the voice, they instinctively wanted to escape.

Why is that girl here again on New Year's Eve?

An Ran walked up and saluted to Prime Minister Mei and Shen, then looked at Mei Xueer and pulled the woman behind him, "Master, this is my mother!"

What? Her mother is here too?

Mei Xueer looked at the woman and recognized her as the wife of Minister An. She had met her at the palace banquet yesterday.

She was thinking of convincing Mrs. An not to let An Ran become her disciple, and then let her take her daughter back home.

After all, the mistress of the Minister of Rites's Mansion is always sensible.

But before she could salute, Mrs. An had already saluted her.

Mei Xueer quickly supported her, "Madam, you can't do that, you can't do that, you are the elder. How can you say that?"

Mrs. An smiled and grabbed Mei Xueer's wrist, "You are Ranran's master, you deserve this gift, you deserve it!"

"When did I say that..." Mei Xueer was stunned.

An Ran was anxious: "When I left this morning, the master called himself 'Master', so he must have agreed to take me as his apprentice. Don't cheat."

"That's right, that's right. Since we have accepted this apprentice, the master and apprentice should spend their first New Year's Eve together. That's why I brought her here specially." Madam An pushed her daughter in front of Mei Xueer, and wanted to throw her out immediately like throwing away garbage. "Ranran, you have to serve the master well, do you hear me! You stay here and serve the master well, otherwise don't even think about going home! If you dare to disrespect the master, I will show you how I will deal with you!"

After saying this, Mrs. An turned around and trotted away without even saying goodbye to everyone.

"Hey, let me tell you..." Prime Minister Mei and Shen finally closed their mouths in shock, "How can this be possible?"

Mrs. An ignored them completely. She just turned around, raised her right fist towards An Ran, pulled it down hard, made a "come on" gesture, and ran away again.

How much must the Shangshu Mansion dislike this daughter? They are driving their daughter away during the New Year!

Mei Zhihua was injured, and seeing that no one paid attention to her, she became even more angry and said, "You, you ignorant little girl, you, you dare to hit me."

An Ran glanced at him coldly, "What's wrong with beating you? You dare to scold my master and insult my master's innocence. I want to beat you to death! Do you have any objections? If you have any objections, come on, I will beat you so hard that even your mother can't recognize you!"

After saying that, she bent over and covered her stomach and laughed, because Mei Zhihua's right eye socket had become black, red and swollen, which looked very funny.

An Ran didn't let her go yet. "I'm telling you, my mother is the direct disciple of the most famous Thunderbolt Palm in the martial arts world. Do you know what Thunderbolt Palm is? How dare you be so arrogant and presumptuous, you who don't know your place. Do you think everyone knows about your mess? You're still trying to make things right for the deposed crown prince? I'm telling you, just go ahead and do what you want, don't involve my master, and don't involve my master... my master..."

Mei Zhihua was scolded so much that she almost couldn't catch her breath. Her chest heaved violently and she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Then, she covered her face, turned around and ran away. Aunt Li quickly followed.

An Ran heaved a long sigh of relief and sat down next to Mei Xueer with a fawning smile on his face, "That's good. We can have this New Year's Eve dinner in peace and quiet. Hey, Master, Uncle Master, Master Master, why are you looking at me? Come on, eat the food. You're welcome. Drink some wine. Where is the wine bestowed by the Emperor?... Oh, this is it. Let me try it..."

"Uncle Master? Are you calling me?" Mei Jiayun shuddered and came back to his senses. "Miss An, are you not going to go back?"

An Ran held Mei Xue'er's arm and laughed, "Yes, I went back and told my parents that the master agreed to take me as his apprentice. My parents were very happy and said that today is New Year's Eve and they must let me come to serve the master and show my filial piety. Well, you can see that my mother was afraid that I would not want to come, so she personally escorted me here. In fact, I wish that from now on, I can be with the master every day and ask for advice from him at any time!"

Filial piety?

Mei Xueer's body was stiff, and she tried hard to force a smile that was uglier than crying towards her parents, elder brother and Qianyue.

Then, she held her forehead, not knowing how to get rid of this little ancestor.

However, an hour later, "Ran'er" completely conquered everyone at the table except Mei Xueer.

"Sister, I see that she is sincere, so just accept her as your disciple, accept her, accept her..." Mei Jiayun blushed, and even his tongue was a little bit unsteady, "Come on, An... let's have another drink... the wine bestowed by the emperor is delicious..."

"Sister, I think Miss An is a nice person. It would be great to have her as a friend!" Mei Qianyue said with a smile on her face.

"A guest is a guest. Now that you are here, don't have to look so stern! Besides, Minister An is an honest official and a role model for all officials in the court. Miss An should not be neglected." Even Prime Minister Mei spoke up for her.

"I like this girl very much." Shen looked at An Ran with a smile in her eyes.

Mei Xueer looked at the whole family who looked like they were bewitched, then looked at An Ran, "Are you poisoned?"

"I can't use poison, but I know martial arts!" An Ran's face flushed from drinking. "How about I show you how to do it, Master?"

"No, you don't have to... Well, since you've already started, just perform..."

Mei Xueer held her forehead with her hand and squinted her eyes as she watched An Ran brandishing swords and guns in the yard.

"Ran ah..." Mei Xueer really wanted to tell her to stop dancing because there was snow on the ground and she would not slip.

But An Ran thought that the master wanted to see more, so he performed another performance of Qinggong.

After much difficulty, she finally sat down again.

Mei Xueer patted her shoulder and said with deep emotion: "Ran, you are so good at boxing and kicking, and you are also the most talented woman in Dazhen. You are really good at both literature and martial arts!"

An Ran said solemnly: "Master is wrong. I used to be the most talented woman in Dazhen, but not anymore. With you here, I can only be considered second..."

Mei Xueer felt that feeling of blood rushing to the top of her head came again.

However, under pressure from all sides, Mei Xueer finally accepted this apprentice with inexplicable tears in her eyes.

Although this disciple seemed unreliable, the words she had used to scold Mei Zhihua had won Mei Xueer's heart.

Just for this reason, oh, forget it, just make do with it!

It's just a matter of address. Who really wants to teach her anything?

The key is--

What does the master use to teach his apprentice?

Besides, the apprentice’s talent is so extraordinary, can he really learn to compose poetry?

She then thought: Even if I am not a very capable teacher, I am more than qualified to teach this "learned" girl.

Oh, just accept it reluctantly!
