The Evil Man’s Lazy Lady Chapter 42 (Part 1)
Chapter 42: Matchmaker (1) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
The rain was getting smaller and smaller. Gradually, the sound of raindrops hitting the roof finally disappeared.
Cheng Qingran opened the carriage window happily.
The dark clouds dissipated. There were only white clouds of different shapes in the sky. The fresh air came with the smell of soil. He suddenly remembered what the Grand Tutor said back then. He said: “I like my hometown the best. After the new rain, it is fresh and quiet. The children rolled up their trousers and played in the ditch, and the adults went out one after another to continue their unfinished work before the rain.”
At that time, neither he nor the crown prince, the current emperor, could imagine that scene, but now, he saw it with his own eyes. Well, it had been a long time since he saw that guy. Let him give him a painting as a gift this year.
“Wei Da, after going back to the residence, you send someone to invite the best matchmaker in town.”
“Yes.” Wei Da instinctively responded, then he realized what his master said, his eyes widened, “Master, who did you just ask for?” He was only 16 years old and his ears couldn’t be used anymore?
Cheng Qingran patiently repeated: “Matchmaker!”
Wei Da opened his mouth wide and wanted to ask a lot of questions, but he didn’t dare to ask them. His master, the master he thought would be lonely and admire him for a lifetime, actually wanted to get married? Thinking back to that time, all the young ladies in the capital expressed or implied their love to the minister’s residence, how many famous young ladies were chosen by the old grandfather before his death, and the young master at that time shook his head and refused. Now, when they come to this remote town, was he actually enlightened by the old man?
Which girl was it?
Wei Da carefully searched in his mind for the unmarried woman who had spoken to his master in the past six months. Except for Fangzhu, the maid at home, it seemed like there were only sisters of the Shu family. It was definitely not the little girl Shu Lan, then it was her older sister Shu Wan?
An angry face of hibiscus appeared in front of him and Wei Da nodded unconsciously. That girl’s appearance was not inferior to everyone in the capital, but her background was too low, right? Although his master had no intention to be an official, he had a good reputation in the capital. Who did not know the brotherhood between him and the emperor since childhood? If they knew the master married a country woman, he didn’t know how they would feel...

Shu family.
Shu Wan ate absentmindedly. It was rare she didn’t help Qin-shi clean up the bowls and chopsticks and went directly to the sisters’ room.
Shu Lan was already asleep.
She frowned, took off her shoes, and got on the heated-brick bed. She pulled her younger sister up without tenderness.
“Older sister, what are you doing?” Shu Lan rubbed her eyes and muttered in dissatisfaction.
Shu Wan sat down next to her, took off her hand that rubbed her eyes, and asked her in a low voice: “That Master Cheng, your big brother, has he ever hugged you?”
Shu Lan nodded: “Mm, big brother is very good to me. He even helped me apply medicine. That ointment really works. It’s cool and it won’t hurt in a moment. Older sister, you don’t know, last time Mother’s hands were heavy...” Thinking of the way her mother beat her that day, Shu Lan was a little scared.
That pervert even looked at her younger sister’s buttocks and gave her medicine personally?
Shu Wan’s expression couldn’t be described as ugly anymore. Before, she had some doubts about Xiao Lang’s words or felt like Cheng Qingran was just coaxing her younger sister to hug her. But he was not an ignorant child. Ah Lan was so big, he actually didn’t care about men and women and hugged her. If he said he didn’t have any dirty thoughts, she wouldn’t believe it! It was a shame he had that dignified look!
“Then did he kiss you or hold you to sleep?”
“No, I was originally going to sleep with Big Brother, but who knew older brother Wolf suddenly ran in!” Shu Lan pouted, remembering how bad Xiao Lang had done to her at that time.
Shu Wan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ah Lang arrived in time. Looking at the silly little sister, she warned her with a headache: “Ah Lan, remember your older sister’s words. Before you get married, you are not allowed to touch any man or let them touch you except your father, your brother, three cousins, grandfather, and uncles. Do you understand?”
“Why?” Shu Lan turned her head and asked.
Shu Wan pulled down her face and said: “There is no reason. If I say no, then no. If you don’t listen to me, I will ignore you in the future, and don’t call me older sister again!”
The tone was urgent, fast, and severe, which directly scared Shu Lan’s sleepy worm away. She looked at Shu Wan with tears in her eyes. She pouted her lips and cried: “Older sister is so fierce. I didn’t do anything wrong, why ignore me? Don’t let me call you older sister...”
Shu Wan took out the handkerchief to wipe her younger sister’s tears and softened her tone: “Ah Lan, don’t cry. If you listen to your older sister, you will still be your older sister’s good younger sister!”
“Mm, I understand. I won’t let other men touch me in the future, and I won’t touch them, so don’t scare me anymore!” Shu Lan fell into her older sister’s arms and sobbed softly. The person who treated her the best, if her older sister really ignored her, she would suffer to death.
Shu Wan pinched her younger sister’s cheek and smiled softly at her.
Xiao Lang, who was hiding outside and eavesdropping, frowned. Was he considered another man?
Just as he was about to leave, the lazy girl suddenly asked in a crying voice: “Older sister, what if older brother Wolf wants to touch me?”
Xiao Lang’s body suddenly stiffened and his heart almost jumped out. That idiot, she shouldn’t tell her about him kissing her, right?
“Ah Lang doesn’t count. He is also your brother.” Shu Wan whispered. Ah Lang was so sensible. He knew how to take care of her younger sister since he was a child. He wouldn’t do anything out of line and he was still a child.
Xiao Lang’s heart immediately fell back to its original place, but a cold sweat broke out on his back.
“What about Brother Yuanbao?” Shu Lan continued to ask. Since older Brother Wolf could touch her, so could Brother Yuanbao. He was also very kind to her, playing with her and giving her Quanquan.
Shu Wan didn’t even think about it and said sternly: “No, except for our family, uncle’s family, and Ah Lang, no matter how good they are to you, you can’t let them touch you. Especially your big brother. If you let me know that you hug him again, or let him hug you or let him touch you, I will treat you as if I didn’t have you, this younger sister!”
