Thirty-three, you're still pretending (part one)

  "Sixth sister, what are you going to do?" Ninth sister stepped forward and stood in front of Sixth sister.

  "What are you doing... can't you see?" Liu Jie said unfriendly, and then became vigilant, "How about it, do you want to interfere with other people's business?"

  "Hmm, this... isn't natural, and it's not my place to interfere with Sixth Sister's affairs," Jiu Jiuer said with a smile, pointing at the trembling Xiao Jin Chuan on the ground. "I just think this girl is too annoying, making such a big fuss with her wailing and howling, really not interesting."

  This tactful remark naturally made the simple-minded and rough-tempered Liu Si'er feel quite pleased to hear, and she took another look at the little maid who had already been frightened into tears on the ground, suddenly feeling that Jiu Si'er's words were very reasonable.

  "Useless wretch!" Liu Jie immediately kicked Xiao Jin Chuan and cursed as she did, "Scram!"

  That little golden dog was like a great amnesty, using his hands and feet to climb up, and even the plum blossom branch didn't have time to pick up before he ran away in a puff of smoke.

  "Brother Tai, let's go to the shooting range instead. These slaves are all cowards and useless!" The Sixth Sister then looked at Ouyang Jing.

  Qījiě and Wén Chóng Rì on the other side naturally nodded in agreement.

  Ouyang Jing remained still, stroking the hilt of the flying knife in his hand, narrowing his eyes as he gazed at Jiu Si'er who was fighting with her sleeves rolled up.

  Could he possibly want...? Ninth Sister's heart skipped a beat.

  But they wouldn't dare, after all she is also a young lady of this manor...

  But just as she had this thought, Ou Yang Jing's dark and handsome face suddenly flashed a quick smile, his eyes also quickly swept over her, falling on Qing Tao beside her, pointing, "Let her come, this must be a bold one!"

  Qing Tao's face changed color, and Qing Xing immediately looked worried all over her face.

  Looks like this bastard really came for her!

  Jiuzi's fist suddenly clenched.

  She naturally understood that the day she returned to the garden with a fake illness, she coincidentally met Ouyang Jing. The smile on Ouyang Jing's face made her realize soon after that he was mocking her for pretending to be ill.

  It wasn't just that day, probably even four years ago, her every move was branded with a single word - fake!

  This realization made her helpless and frustrated, and after hearing that this guy's official business was over, she became even more cautious, trying to stay in the house as much as possible and reduce the chances of running into him.

  Time will pass, San Jie will get married, the princess and Ouyang Jing will also leave, she thinks that as long as she endures until then, everything will be resolved.

  But unexpectedly she slightly let her guard down, and... Is this guy always monitoring her?

  "Hmm, this girl is indeed quite bold... Alright..." At this time, Liu Ya had already started nodding at Qing Tao, then turned to Jiu Ya with a straight face and a somewhat overbearing attitude, "Earlier you said that girl was timid and let her go, now I'll borrow the one by your side for a bit!"

  Without waiting for Jiu's response, she raised the fruit in her hand and pointed at Qing Tao, "You, come here!"

  Qing Tao's gaze swept across the small fruit and Ou Yang Jing's hand holding the flying knife with a cold glint, her face already pale.

  She was just stubborn and didn't want to trouble Jiu, not only did she not beg for mercy, but instead bit her lip and stared straight at Liu.

  These six sisters are soft and hard to eat, undoubtedly, Qing Tao's behavior is even more provocative.

  "Miss..." On one side, Qing An was frightened, glanced at Qing Tao, and then looked at Jiu Jie again.

  "Nine sisters, but just a lowly servant!" Wen Chongri hastily advised, possibly fearing that Jiu Jie would clash with Liu Jie over this.

  "Ah, indeed! And just now at the shooting range, we saw Brother Tai's flying knife skills, it was truly pure and perfect, hitting every shot!" The Seventh Sister said with a smile, while gazing affectionately at Ouyang Jing on the side.

  "Bring her over!" The sixth sister pointed at Qingtiao and gestured to the two maids standing on one side.

  Those two girls heard this and quickly stepped forward, making a gesture as if they were about to pull Qing Tao.

  "Wait—"

  But then came a clear and crisp shout of halt.

  "Eldest Sister Jiu, could it be that you want to oppose me?" Sixth Sister Er immediately looked at Ninth Sister with a cold gaze.

  "Of course not..." Ninth Sister smiled, standing in front of the green peach tree, glancing at Sixth Sister and then looking at Ouyang Jing, "Since Brother's knife skills are so extraordinary, why bother finding a servant girl? I, Little Nine, am willing to try it myself!"

  With one sentence, for a moment, everyone reacted in their own way.

  "Girl, don't..." Qing Tao immediately objected.

  "Miss......" Qing Xing also became anxious.

  "Third sister, what's the point of this!" Wen Chongri shook his head.

  "Yes, Ninth Sister!" Seven Sister also advised, but her expression was indifferent.

  "Hmph, you want to show off, but don't say I didn't warn you when the time comes. Don't blame me and Brother Biao." Liu Jie'er also felt a bit uneasy, looking at Ouyang Jing.

  "Great, my cousin is really brave, then I'll fulfill my cousin's wish." Ou Yang Jing's face flashed with excitement and interest, and the black-gold eyes that fell on Jiu Jie'er's face sparkled even more.

  "Then don't wait any longer, let's start!" The six sisters saw Ouyang Jing's determined expression and also put their minds at ease, beginning to urge him on.

  "Wait a minute..." Ninth Sister said again.

  "Do you want to take it back?" Liu Jie immediately looked at her with disdain.

  "Of course not!" Ninth Sister smiled, reached up and pulled out the gold hairpin from her head, then walked over to Qing Tao who was crying, and had her help put it away. Only then did she turn around and stand in the middle again.

  "Cousin, stand back a bit, huh, that fruit is biased!"

  Ouyang Jing looked at the top of the apple, seemingly awkward and struggling, but his eyes were calm and tranquil, with a hint of unwillingness flashing in his pupils as he walked over to direct.

  The tall figure standing with its back to the light blocked out the other figure for a moment, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Cousin, Auntie, Mother and Old Lady are doing their homework in the Buddhist hall, no one is allowed to disturb them."

  As soon as he finished speaking, the ninth sister's face suddenly changed color, and he burst out laughing.

  The young man's extremely clear and piercing laughter echoed in the empty winter day, and on the other side, Yatou and Qijie instantly blushed.

  The sixth sister then curiously asked, "Brother-in-law, what are you smiling about?"

  "Nothing funny..." Ouyang Jing shook his head, and suddenly his figure swiftly spun around, the dagger in his hand flying out quickly.

  Everyone was shocked, and Jiu's heart almost jumped out of her chest.

  It wasn't until they saw the cold light of the dagger piercing through a plum blossom and firmly pinning it to the branch that everyone couldn't help but let out a breath, and then they all praised the knife skills.

  Ouyang Jing merely smiled proudly and suddenly pointed to a petal of red plum that had just fallen on Jiu's temple, "Shall I use my knife to help Ninth Sister remove it?"

  One sentence made everyone's face change color, and Jiu Niang's legs went soft.

  "Hehe......" In a flash, that flying knife quickly left his hand and landed steadily on another branch.

  Everyone couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and Seventh Sister was even more playful, saying "Cousin, you're teasing us!"

  "It's over!" But Ou Yang Jing turned around and pulled out the knife instead.

  "9th Miss, 9th Miss...... Something's wrong, the 9th Miss has fainted......" The maid standing at the side suddenly shouted.

  Everyone was taken aback, and Ou Yang Jing's eyes narrowed for an instant.

  "Third... Third Sister, how did you come here..." Suddenly another voice made everyone present even more stunned.
