I have always wanted to say, is this guy really my sister? Is this person clearly my enemy?

"Don't act affectionate in front of me, could you not pretend to be adorable with me???!!!"

"Eh?!"

Chiyori was scared by the momentum of Yukari sister. If it weren’t for grandma’s presence nearby, Yukari sister would have gone berserk long ago. Why do both of you have to say it three times in a row?

"Lying isn't good, refusing to admit to caring about your little brother? Didn't you see Juxi breaking out in a cold sweat?" Chiyori pleaded for me.

Yeah, yeah! I nodded.

What should I say...

I'm breaking out in a cold sweat and wanting to escape mainly because of the anger you, Yukari sister, are emanating, right? But the other party is that unreasonable Yukari sister! Can I say that? Is my life in danger?

I just chuckled, "Hehe, but if you don't like this kind of calmness, I can change myself a bit, what do you think?"

"..." (Yukari sister was dumbfounded)

"Of course, although it's probably hard for Yukari classmate who hasn't even entered puberty to understand, right?" Finally gaining the upper hand, I seized the opportunity to go on the attack.

But it's not over yet. I looked at Yukari sister with a mischievous glint in my eyes, proactively grabbing her arm.

And my facial expression twisted even more exaggeratedly, coquettishly saying, "Bullying people and such... I guess it's just your strange taste, right?!"

"Is that so? But for someone who is already in high school and still wearing pure white underwear like a child, I don't want any lessons in taste from that person."

Hehe, although in my impression Yukari sister has always been a shade of blue, but according to the theorem that one’s true nature can be revealed by their underwear, it's something from when I was in fourth grade, now...

"W-what? Is there something wrong with wearing it?"

Uh, sister... Today's Yukari sister doesn't seem right, why is she shaking off like that?

"Because, because... hmph!"

Looking at the tearful Yukari sister, Chiyori pretended to shake her head helplessly, "Not to mention your personal preferences, but that kind of attitude won't attract the attention of the opposite sex, you know?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?! I... I've never thought about using underwear to attract boys! I'm not like you — shameless slut!"

"That's not what you should say," Chiyori gently picked up the doll that was being ravaged by Yukari sister next to the sofa and said, "For a young lady, in order to be able to respond to the invitations of admirers at any time, you should dress in a magnificent way that fans will admire, not like you, where the fat just turns into a lump of blubber on your body."

"You... what did you say?!!!" Yukari sister finally couldn't hold back and shouted hoarsely.

Later, the two of them still couldn't control their emotions and ended up fighting in front of grandma.

Ah, when I was about to speak up to stop them, grandma waved her hand at me and smiled, shaking her head.

"Mmm!"

After getting the signal, I nodded reluctantly, and then left the battlefield of their dispute behind.

Back in my room, I immediately went up to the attic and locked the passage to the attic. After confirming that those two were still "tearing each other apart" downstairs, I settled down and seriously flipped to the next chapter...

After the drug war, a large country in the East began to fall into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.

Western powers, relying on a series of unequal treaties like the "XX Treaty," invaded this ancient country in various aspects of politics and economics.

To pay the war reparations and ransom fees of up to 28 million taels, and to make up for the financial deficit caused by the large influx of drugs (an average outflow of about 10 million taels of silver per year from the 27th to 28th years of Daoguang), the national government intensified arbitrary taxation and increased taxes by one to three times.

"Tsk tsk, I never thought that there would be such a big story back then, it actually happened right under our noses."

I never thought that the country where my ancestors once lived had such a sad story. Before this, it was always said that my ancestors were very remarkable. Who would have thought that they were in such a country background, so my ancestors must be related to this story, right?

So, I continued reading...

Furthermore, a large number of foreign industrial products flooded the market, devastating the country's urban and rural handicraft industries, causing farmers and artisans to go bankrupt one after another.

With this background as a premise, the landlord class took advantage of the situation to consolidate land, intensifying exploitation.

In addition, the forces of various sects continued to coalesce into anti-Qing forces, and many descendants of the Ming Dynasty also began to resist and raised the banner of anti-Qing and restoration of Ming!

Despite the Qing government's efforts to suppress the uprising, and even considering inviting some Western barbarian troops to help with the suppression, they still couldn't quell the uprising. Eventually, it welcomed the largest uprising of the late Qing Dynasty — the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement!

The power of the God Worshipers reached a level that could not be underestimated, while the corruption of the Qing court left the government in an irreparable state. Despite his extravagant appearance, Xianfeng Emperor could not rest peacefully day and night.
