Unexpectedly Stupid

Ashaina had a bad feeling about the woman besides Yyan, but when she eyed the woman again, she gave out a different vibe. The disdainful look was replaced with nonchalance. She looked poised and natural besides Yyan as if that has always been her place.

"I've heard a lot about Miss Ashaina" -a lot about the bad things that you've done. Yue didn't directly interact with that woman, but responded perfunctory. It's not yet time to have a fallout with her enemy especially that she still needed to investigate some things, and also out of consideration for Dianna and the Old Master.

"I've been pretty active these years, it's hard not to know about me" Ashaina was stating a fact, but she felt smug about it. Her nose was turned up. "Miss Yue should be the performer hired by Brother Yan for grandpa's celebration. Although I haven't heard of you but I have to admit that the way you played was superb. I'm sure that you'll be able to get a sponsor from among the guests, who knows, the crown prince might even take an interest with you and let you enter in the palace"

Dianna was struck dumbly by her daughter's words. Did she take the wrong daughter today, how can she say such careless words. Did she become stupid upon seeing her fiancé? They said love is blind, was it really the case?

On the other hand, Old Master's face was livid. He didn't look favorably in this granddaughter of his in the first place. The only reason why she was chosen as Yyan's fiancée is because she's the only daughter of his eldest son. If not for the favor owed to him by the previous head of the Crest Family and being Yyan's master, they may not be able to grab that position. And now she's spouting nonsense, it felt like he did his disciple wrong by giving him his granddaughter.

While everyone is in awkward position,

"To be able to perform in front of the royal would be an honor but Yue doesn't desire any sponsor from anyone. My brother would be enough to support me for life, even if I didn't work, he would be able to provide for me"

"Miss Yue's brother is truly reliable, but don't you think it's better to have an ambition in life? That way, you would be able to help your family as well" Ashaina made it sound like she was concerned but she was truly mocking Yue in her heart. Based on Yue's words, she basically lived off from her man. A profiteer such as her would surely try to hold onto the bigger thigh if given a chance. It's about time for Brother Yan to see the ugly side of this Yue.

Ashaina assumed the worst of Yue.

"Are you saying that I'm not capable enough to even let my sister provide for our family" Ashaina truly touched Yyan's bottom-line. He was getting impatient and didn't want to hear anymore insults thrown to Yue.

"No, I didn't say that about you Brother Yan. I was talking to Miss Yue. It's not as if she's your sister-" that's only when Ashaina realized the situation. She horrifyingly stared at Yyan then to Yue. She saw the disappointed look of her mother and the angry face of her grandfather. Her face reddened to a certain extent then ran away from the place.

Yue wanted to show her wit but her brother wouldn't let her act cool. But seeing him shut her enemy up already completed her day. She just felt sorry for Dianna and the Old Master.

Yue also lamented how her death was instigated by such a stupid person, doesn't that make her more stupid then?

"Yue dear, Yyan, I apologize for Ashaina's misbehavior. I truly didn't know what has gotten into her" Dianna didn't know how to face the siblings. She could only think that her daughter was blinded with jealousy, but to get jealous over her fiancé's sister is truly misplaced.

"Auntie doesn't need to think much about it. I'm sure there was just a misunderstanding" Yue was feeling generous today after seeing Ashaina lost face.

"This disciple won't be taking in account of the incident in respect to Master's celebration, but no next time" Yyan exerted his authority as the young master of the Crest Family.

Yue stared at her brother. He was so awesome, but Dianna and the old master felt otherwise.

It can't be explained what they're feeling at the moment.

Dianna maybe from the same noble family as the Crests but their rank is still lower; besides, she was a daughter that was married into an affiliated family.

Even if it was the uncle of Yyan who is the current patriarch of the Crest family, the true power was wielded by the young lad. If Yyan decided to use his power to claim justice, the Lancer family can only yield.

It was the first time the Old Master saw the lad use his authority as the higher person in the hierarchy. He was proud and at the same time felt awful that it was used against his family. The lad may not have said it, but his words were laced with threats. His granddaughter really made a blunder this time. He didn't expect that his disciple really put his sister's existence bigger than anything else. Just a small matter was already enough for him to do the thing he hates the most.

"You don't have to worry lad. I'll personally teach my granddaughter a lesson. Little Yue, let me give you the guqin as an apology"

"Old Master!" "Father!" Old Zeke and Dianna who had been silent the whole time reacted strongly.

"Say no more, give it to Little Yue" what Old Master said was final.

Yue was flabbergasted. It was originally a small incident and didn't expect these people to react strongly about it.

It only took a touch to know that the guqin was of highest quality and based in people's reaction, it has sentimental value as well. Her brother also looked satisfied with the action of the old master. This really puzzled Yue, but should she take such a precious item? But looking at the stubborn look of the old master, it seems that her only choice was to accept it, else she would be insulting his sincerity.
