Chapter 10 - Chapter Ten:Ha! Good manners?!

Her lips were even dabbed with some red substance to make them look pretty. Her perfume was far too concentrated. Chow Yi Nuo searched her new memory and found out that she was Zhong Kexin's second elder sister, Zhong Xin Yi.  A foul mouthed, spoiled young lady.

"Welcome back home, sister Zhong Kexin," Zhong Caihong said warmly and titled her head. "We all missed you for three days." She added.

Chow Yi Nuo halted at her pace and chuckled. Zhong Caihong wondered why she gave such an expression.

"I never thought that my absence would bother the family, I thought that you were all to happy hearing that I was attacked by bandits." Chow Yi Nuo answered and finally gazed unwaveringly into Zhong Guiying's eyes.

She was aware that Zhong Guiying was the one who sent the bandits. Chow Yi Nuo took out her fan and fanned herself, in order to make Zhong Caihong feel bad, Zhi Meng Yao held her nose.

"Sister, your perfume is just too much. You will make us catch a cold."

"You..." Zhong Caihong pointed her index finger towards Chow Yi Nuo but since she was out of words, she put it down and sneered at her.

"The younger sibling shall not forget her manners. She should not forget that she is standing in front of the Mistress of the Mansion." Madam Liu, the nanny of Zhong Guiying scolded Zhong Kexin for her insolent behaviour.

"Madam Liu, be quiet!" Zhong Guiying said sternly and finally lowered his head.

"It seems that you have not learnt manners and that you need more punishment." Another voice fell into their ears and all of them looked into that direction except for Chow Yi Nuo and Zhi Meng Yao.

"If you are going to act this way, then I will tell father to give you more punishment,"Ah Lam, the third elder sister of Zhong Kexin said as she walked over and bowed slightly before Zhong Guiying.

Chow Yi Nuo again searched her new memory and found out that the young lady was actually Zhong Kexin's third elder sister, Zhong  Ah Lam, a proud, spoilt young lady. She had worn ostentatiously.

She stood straight and turned to face Zhong Kexin, she had been dressed in a light green Han Fu dress embroidered with yellow flowers. Her hair had been made in a cobra bun.

"It is understandable if your mother did not teach you properly on how to respect your elders but please do not shame Madam Liu who taught all of us good manners."

"Ha! Good manners?!" Chow Yi Nuo scoffed and looked sternly into Zhong Ah Lam. "Isn't respect earned? You respect me, I respect you period." Chow Yi Nuo replied and chuckled. "And since when did my third sister, Zhong Ah Lam start to preach about respect?" Chow Yi Nuo scoffed at her.

"Don't forget that you are nothing before me, sixth sister. I am engaged to the duke's son, but what about you? You beg a man to marry you? Ha! How absurd! You are no oil painting!" Zhong Ah Lam reminded him of her position.
