The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Ru Yue still stared at An Ping expressionlessly, as if to confirm whether what he said was true, and as if waiting for him to say the next word. At first, An Ping could still look at his sister with a stiff upper lip, but gradually, he lost his courage and began to doubt himself in his heart whether he was really wrong.

"You should also be saying that an unmarried woman like me shouldn't show up in public all day, right?!" Ru Yue seemed to be asking him, but her tone was extremely firm.

Anping suddenly raised his head. How did Sister know this? The man only hinted obscurely, "Sister, I..."

Ru Yue's eyes suddenly became sharp as a knife, and her face was as cold as ice. "Meng Anping, would you have dared to say such words half a year ago?"

All this time, his elder sister had never called him by his full name, let alone spoken to him in such a cold tone, which made him doubt.

Yes, if elder sister had not shown herself and worked tirelessly in business half a year ago, he and Xue'er would have starved to death or been bullied to death by the old Meng family. How could he be sitting in the school today, giving her orders?

But that person is his...it was my sister who found it for him personally. Could it be that that person is the wrong one?

Thinking of this, his knees softened and he knelt down in front of Ru Yue, his face as red with shame, "Sister, I..."

The servants who served their master at home were also stunned with fear. They only thought about how happy it was that the girl had finally returned and the family was reunited. Even what the young master said didn't seem to be wrong, so why did the girl get so angry?

Nanny Qin had taught them the rules: they couldn't laugh at their master's jokes without reason. Was it too late to leave now? Several people glanced at Nanny Qin, silently asking whether they should stay or leave. Seeing her signal, they were about to leave. Before they could move, the girl spoke, "All of you stay and listen."

Several servants, including Nanny Qin, had never seen Ru Yue lose her temper and instinctively thought she was easy to talk to. However, today they discovered that she didn't need to be noisy or angry, just a cold face would show her majesty. They stood in the hall trembling, not daring to say a word, not knowing what the young lady was going to do.

"Meng Anping, do you know why I pushed you to study so hard in the first place? Did you really think I was waiting for you to pass the imperial examinations and secure my business?"

An Ping suddenly raised his eyes in shame and looked at Ru Yue. Isn't it true? That's what my sister said when I was reluctant to spend money on studying! Isn't it true!

"Who can guarantee that after ten years of hard study, you'll pass the imperial examination? I sympathize with you losing your father at a young age and suffering the abuse of your close relatives. I want you to focus on studying so that you can distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, and know the good from the bad. You're only eight or nine years old now, and I understand that you're easily misled, but youth is no reason to forget your roots. If you eat meat with a bowl in hand and curse your mother with a bowl down, the more books you read, the greater harm you'll cause in the future."

Ru Yue rarely speaks at length, but every word she says seems to strike people's hearts, making them tremble.

Anping was already in tears. He knelt down in front of Ruyue and said, "Sister, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong. I can stop studying and work every day like before, but please don't be angry with me. Sister, I was wrong."

"Sister, don't be angry. I know I was wrong." Ruxue was frightened and silent when she saw her sister like this, but she didn't want her sister to go home angry when she was so tired.

Ru Yue picked up Ru Xue and gently stroked her back to soothe her anxiety. She didn't want to scare this caring little girl.

"Tell me, who gave you this idea?" Ru Yue suppressed her anger and asked directly.

"Mr. Duan in the library has always been very good to me. He often praised me for my talent in studying and said I would become a great man in the future. I can't remember when he started to subtly teach me that women should abide by etiquette and fulfill their duties. At first, I didn't think about my sister, but later, my classmates talked about her behind her back, saying that my sister was running around all day, competing with men for business, and that it was against the code of conduct for women." He spoke in detail, but in the process of narration, he suddenly realized that these things were directed at himself?

"During the winter solstice, my brother-in-law went to give Mr. Wu a New Year's gift. He asked about my sister and told me earnestly that my sister is still young and has not been educated since childhood. Now without parental supervision, it is inevitable that she will make mistakes. Over time, she will inevitably be criticized by others, and it will also affect my future career." He slowly figured out the key points and no longer had so many concerns. Instead, he spoke frankly, "Sister, I'm not afraid of anything affecting my career, but I don't want you to be criticized. Over the years, my sister has suffered a lot of grievances and criticisms for me and Xue'er, especially in the past six months. She has suffered a lot for our family. Sister, I really don't think you are bad like this. I really just don't want others to say anything about you."

Seeing Anping's tears streaming down her face, and understanding the whole story, she knew that this was not an accident, and that someone must have been secretly stirring up trouble.
