Chapter 227: Chapter 140: Dangerous and Complicated Relationships
"Luo Feng, during your time at the Wen’s Mansion, Ye’er belongs to me. Besides me, it’s all boys at Wen’s Mansion. Ever since I was little, I’ve been hoping for a younger sister, and now that I finally have one, of course, I want to fully enjoy the bliss of having a sister. I won’t let anyone steal her from me." Wen Ke pried Luo Feng’s arm off Luo Ye’s shoulders and snatched Luo Ye to her side, guarding her like a hen protecting her chicks.
Wen Nan snorted unhappily, pouting, "Sister, when I was born, did you really hope that I was a girl?"
"Of course, sadly you disappointed me!" Wen Ke made a disgusted face: "Little Pumpkin has been acting like a little adult since young, not fun at all."
Wen Nan glanced sideways at his sister: "You mess around like a child all day, if I don’t act mature, how much worry would our dad have to bear?"
Wen Ke glared resentfully at her brother: "Little Pumpkin, is dressing up as a girl and messing around? Wait, I’ll deal with you tonight!"
"Really such a child!" Wen Nan arrogantly shrugged his shoulders, patting Luo Feng, "Brother Feng, don’t mind my sister, just let Ye’er stay with her for a few days, otherwise, she’ll hold a grudge against you for life, ah... Sister Ye’er, Sister Ye’er, we shouldn’t be so ungentle. Alright, I was wrong, it should be you accompanying my sister for a few days, I was wrong, I was wrong, let go of me!"
Luo Ye released her grip from Wen Nan’s neck, "See, exposed now, aren’t you? Trying to act like an adult, changing your expression over such a small thing, Little Pumpkin!"
"Ye’er, well done, I didn’t even see what happened and you already had Little Pumpkin in a grip. Have you trained?" Wen Ke looked at Luo Ye expectantly, Wen Yan, Wen Su, including Nangua who was rubbing his neck were all curious.
"I’ve trained a bit." Luo Ye said with a smile.
Wen Nan slyly moved next to Luo Ye: "Wow, Sister Ye’er, I didn’t expect that you, looking so gentle and frail, are actually trained. The kids in our family have all trained a bit with bodyguards. How about a good match tomorrow?"
"Trying to turn the tables? Feel like you were unprepared earlier and lost unjustly?" Luo Ye patted Wen Nan’s head: "I’m not underestimating you, I wouldn’t dare challenge Cousin Yan, but you, absolutely my defeated foe!"
Wen Su chuckled: "Why only mention Cousin Yan and not Cousin Su? I’m much more formidable than Yan!"
"Mmm, you’re better with your mouth!"
"Ha ha ha..., Ye’er, you really have keen insight. Sister, I’m really convinced by you. Oh, why didn’t aunt bring you back earlier, I’ve missed out on so much fun." Wen Ke laughed so hard she collapsed onto Luo Ye, Wen Nan gave his sister a look: "Mind your image, you are a grown woman now."
"Mind your own business!" Wen Ke’s face turned red, but she quickly stood straight.
The group chatted and laughed, shortly wandering through most of the courtyard, Luo Ye mentally praised, no wonder many people are interested in Wen’s Mansion, the scenery inside is classically elegant and stunning, simply a paradise.
As they reached a small lake shimmering with blue waves, Wen Yan smiled at Luo Ye and Luo Feng: "Brother Feng, Sister Ye’er, this lake isn’t entirely man-made. The water here comes from an underground spring, it’s flowing water, with the water level higher in summer and lower in winter. Another interesting point, this lake is located at the highest and most open area of the courtyard, quite unconventional, right?
According to ancestral records, this lake was built in 1871, must say, the craftsmanship back then was indeed high; even though this is a main tributary of the underground water flow they managed to utilize it so well without causing floods, truly admirable.
From here you can see Moon Mountain across, in the morning looking from here, Moon Mountain surrounded by clouds looks absolutely enchanting like a fairyland.
The lake is stocked with grass carp, crucian carp, and common carp. Although some are lost, due to the regular restocking, the quantity is substantial. Later we’ll catch a few to take back, tonight let Mrs. Guan make us steamed fish.
Don’t lose your appetite just hearing ’steamed fish’, Mrs. Guan’s specialty is absolutely tempting, after tasting it once you’d want a second time, and you’d hardly bear to leave."
Luo Ye smiled and nodded: "Thanks, big cousin, by the way, having considered, our mansion has been around for over a hundred years, has it never been renovated?"
"Every fifty years, a major maintenance is carried out, nowadays, such solid houses cannot be built, of course, the cost is also frighteningly high, not many people can afford to build houses this way nowadays."
"That’s true." Luo Ye said as he leaned to look into the lake water, indeed he could vaguely see the figures swimming, straightening up suddenly his forehead felt a chilly sensation, his gaze involuntarily drawn to a certain spot, following which, he was shocked and tackled Wen Yan nearby.
