After being reborn, I stole the female lead's cheat ability and raised the empress.

Chapter 30 Testing

Just when Ali was in a state of utter distress, the female lead and Ji Qingluan had a conflict.

God help me too!

Get out of here!

As soon as she returned to her courtyard, she saw her two older brothers already waiting there. They excitedly stood up to greet her as soon as they saw her.

Ali: "What...is there for you?"

“Sister, you mentioned at the banquet that you didn’t have a personal maid. Your brother and I have been thinking about it and decided to give you Yi Ya as your maid. You’re about the same age, and she can sing and dance. She’s a good choice.”

Ali: ...

Sending someone away again? Or is it to spy on me again?

However, considering that I really don't have many people, I'll just have to make do with them.

With this person right under our noses, how could we not have him under our control?

So she smiled and said, "Thank you, brother."

"Then give her a new name."

Ali sized up the maid in front of her. She seemed composed, but her skin was too pale, even paler than normal. She casually said, "Hmm. Your skin is as white as the moon, so from now on you'll be called White Wings."

The two older brothers: "..."

"Pfft, hahaha..."

Ali asked, bewildered, "What are you laughing at?"

Xia Jingwen blurted out her true feelings without hesitation: "This name... it sounds delicious... no! It sounds wonderful, hahaha!"

Xia Jingyuan gave Ali a way out: "I thought you would say: Your wings are as white as the moon, so from now on you will be called Bai Yue (White Moon)."

The maidservant quickly cast a grateful glance at Xia Jingyuan.

"Really? It sounds better to call you Baiyue. Well then, you can be called Baiyue from now on?"

The maidservant immediately knelt down: "Baiyue thanks Miss for bestowing this name upon her."

Xia Jingwen was laughing when suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he ran off without saying a word.

Xia Jingyuan didn't care, and only said: "These girls in the back were chosen by my second brother and me. They know some kung fu. Let them replace everyone in the courtyard. Wen Wan is really bold, daring to openly send her own people to your courtyard."

Ali's gaze wandered, her voice indifferent: "Who told her to have someone backing her up?"

Xia Jingyuan's expression stiffened, and he quickly said, "Oh, let's not talk about this. Anyway, you have your own people now."

Ali tentatively asked, "Big brother, can I order these people around at will?"

"What kind of talk is that!"

Xia Jingyuan looked at the group of maids seriously: "From now on, your only mistress is the eldest young lady. You don't need to listen to us either."

The maids in the courtyard answered in unison, "Yes."

Looking at this scene, Ali fell into deep thought: Could it be that I was wrong?

"Sister, sister, look what I brought!" It was Xia Jingwen's skipping voice, coming closer and closer.

Ali chuckled. Her second brother, despite having a character in his name, was anything but gentle: "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Roast chicken, my sister just mentioned white wings, I think she probably wants to eat roast chicken." Xia Jingwen brought over the roast chicken, "It's still warm, let's eat it quickly."

Ali's stomach rumbled at just the right moment. It was almost afternoon, and she had only eaten a little something in the morning. She sat down without any hesitation and said, "Eat, eat, eat quickly."

Xia Jingwen broke off a chicken wing and was about to give it to Ali when he saw Ali already wolfing down a chicken leg in each hand. They couldn't help but exchange a glance and remained silent.

While struggling, Ali happened to look up and saw her two older brothers looking at her. She politely said, "You guys eat."

"Haha, we just ate, we're not hungry at all."

Xia Jingyuan said with heartache, "I didn't expect that there wouldn't be any good food at the manor. Sister, you've suffered." Xia Jingyuan reached out and brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear.

Xia Jingwen also said, "Yes, it's all our fault. We didn't even go to visit our sister."

Ah Li devised a plan. As if a painful memory had been brought up, she lowered her head and said, "The people in the manor are all gentle and kind. They only know how to mistreat me. I long for your arrival every moment, but why don't you ever come to see me? Could it be that your love for me is all fake, just for show?"

Upon hearing this, the two older brothers quickly protested, "No, no, no, how could that be?"

“We all love you, sister.”

Ali suddenly raised her head, her gaze somewhat distant: "Then why don't you come to see me?"

Xia Jingwen felt angry as soon as the topic came up, and said with great dissatisfaction: "This... isn't it because Father requested permission for us to join the army? Leaving the military camp without permission will implicate our families."

"Then how come you were able to come out now?"

The two men exchanged a glance: "We were promoted to generals a couple of days ago, which means we can go home to visit our families once a month when there's no war." As for how they got their positions as generals, there's no need to go into details.

"Oh, I see~" We still haven't figured out what the two older brothers are really like.

The two men, however, thought she was angry and quickly tried to explain themselves.

Ali waved her hand, pretending to care but not to: "It's nothing. I just thought that my mother doesn't love me anymore, and my father didn't even stand by my side today. I'm afraid that your love for me is fake."

"How could that be? You've always been our most beloved little sister, and we'll always be there for you."

"If I have a conflict with my parents, whose side will you take?"

The two brothers hesitated for a moment: "This..."

Xia Jingwen reached out to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, little sister. If you're unhappy, we can go stay outside for a few days. I secretly bought a yard outside."

Xia Jingyuan said, "There are no parents who are wrong. How could your parents not love you? You must understand them..."

“Hey brother! Your sister is upset right now, don’t say these things!” Xia Jingwen nudged her older brother, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

A moment later, Xia Jingyuan asked in confusion, "Father?"

Thinking back to Xia Deqing's behavior during the day, he nodded: "Something is definitely not right. He usually doesn't like that gentle girl, but he seems different today."

Ali spoke up at the right moment: "I actually went out for a stroll last night and unintentionally saw Father coming out of Wanyue Courtyard. Then today, Father's attitude towards me and Wenwan changed. I don't know if it's because everyone has stopped loving me while I was away..."

The Xia brothers exchanged a glance, both understanding: "Just as I thought."

That Wen Wan is truly a scheming person; in just one night, she managed to make her father dislike her younger sister.

Thinking of this, they disliked Wen Wan even more.

"How about we go beat her up?"
