The servant saw this and quickly ca up to serve.
Fan’s mother had already returned, and upon seeing Fan Rou, imdiately began to mock her, "Oh, I wondered which disabled person this was, turns out it’s you, Third Daughter. What happened to your leg? It’s not crippled, is it?"
Fan’s mother always thought Fan Rou’s mother was the mistress, and when Fan’s father wasn’t ho, she would call her "Third Daughter," the implication obvious.
"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. My leg is fine and won’t be crippled. Even if it were, with my face, soone would still want . You might as well spend your idle ti worrying about my elder sisters, you know their vision isn’t very good, and it’d be troubleso if they brought back a brother-in-law by mistake, wouldn’t it?"
She said this long paragraph without even pausing for breath, angering Fan’s mother to the point of trembling.
"What are you talking about? So lively?" Fan’s father entered from outside.
Who knows if he’s blind or what, Fan’s mother’s expression was so twisted, yet it appeared as happiness in his eyes.
On the surface, Fan Rou compliantly called out, "Dad, you’re back."
"Oh, did the sun rise in the west today? You’re actually greeting ." Clearly, Fan’s father was in a good mood.
Because only when he’s in a good mood does he speak this way.
Of course, such monts are rare.
Whenever this happens, it ans her second brother has been promoted again. Sure enough, at dinner, Fan’s father announced that Fan Er was promoted to major for his rits.
And Huo Yi is now a real general.
Forever overshadowing Fan Er.
"But there’s always that slight gap between us and the Huo Family," Fan’s father sighed.
This is his lifelong regret. Who would want to be the perpetual second?
Fan Er had to train today and didn’t co ho, so only Fan i, Fan Li, Fan Rou, and Fan’s mother were at ho.
"Isn’t Little Sis acquainted with Young Master Huo? If Young Master Huo married her, wouldn’t our family be able to ride on their coattails?" Fan Li said.
"What nonsense are you spouting? The Huo Family isn’t soone she can reach," Fan’s mother scolded.
"Exactly, how could Young Master Huo marry soone like her?" Fan i chid in.
What is she blabbering about? If Huo Yi really married Fan Rou, would there still be room for them to rise?
Even if Huo Yi was willing, they wouldn’t allow it.
"What kind of person am I? Aunt, Sis, care to tell ?" Fan Rou asked, her expression gentle yet without any hostility.
What kind of person is she? Naturally, the kind birthed by a mistress. What can spawn from such a person?
Fan’s mother never considers that if Fan Rou’s mother were truly a mistress, she wouldn’t be suffering alone with Fan Rou, without fighting or seizing anything.
At one point, Fan Rou believed her mother to be so worthless, she even doubted what her mother told her, but later she realized it wasn’t true.
If her mother really was a mistress, then she would be the dumbest mistress in the world, giving birth to a daughter only to end up with nothing but a burden.
Even losing her life in the end.
Why should her mother bear the sins of Fan’s father alone? Why should they bla it all on her?
Fan Rou lowered her eyes, hiding the surge of hatred within them.
"Aunt, don’t forget, my elder sisters and I share the sa father. If I’m unworthy, then my sisters are as well. If I’m dirty, they aren’t much more noble, because as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Aunt, don’t you think I’m right?" Fan Rou’s expression remained gentle, but her words carried a serious undertone.
