Chapter 329 - 328 No longer in the mood
"I remember," replied Ye Xinyan to Zhao Gang’s question. The original owner of her memories had found the experience deeply etched in their mind; after all, that beating had left the original owner lying face-down in bed for over half a month, unable to even lie on their side. Thus, within Ye Xinyan’s memories was the existence of such an incident, but it was not something she had personally experienced, which is why she felt so detached when recalling it.
As Zhao Gang spoke of the past, he was filled with emotion. Miss Cousin was indeed very hard to discipline, "Being a girl and so young at the time, I didn’t witness it myself, but I heard that the ten firm strokes you received tore your flesh open. You lay on the bed, unable to get up for half a month. Yet, not only did you not beg for mercy while being beaten, you didn’t seem to restrain yourself afterward either."
"Well, it’s not like they could actually beat you to death, right?" Speaking of this matter, whether it was the Marquis, General, or Duke An, they probably all felt utterly helpless.
Ye Xinyan looked at Zhao Gang with an innocent expression, unsure how to display a remorseful face. This incident really had nothing to do with her. Although Zhao Gang spoke with deep emotion, she genuinely felt nothing.
Without realizing it, Zhao Gang’s fingers tapped on the small table as he sighed, "You see, even now, you show no sign of awareness that you did anything wrong."
Ye Xinyan quickly put away her look of innocence, shifting her gaze to the side before deciding it wasn’t quite right and hurriedly shrinking her neck and lowering her head.
Having acting skills was a matter of capability. But if one refused even to show the necessary gestures, it became an attitude problem. While improving capability was challenging, showing an attitude was much simpler; hence, her attitude was always good.
Zhao Gang felt like he might have exhausted all the helplessness from his past and future lives on Miss Cousin, "These past few days, I’ve been working with Old Master Cheung. The old master once said that you listen to Nanny Jin the most, but you agree with your mouth very quickly and never correct yourself afterward. It seems, indeed, that was no lie."
