“Ning Chen, you came back a second too late. You should’ve seen the mess just now! Our young mistress actually threw a pot of boiling water at Ning Jing.
“Tsk, look at her legs, they’re still red!”
Second Madam’s voice was filled with heartache.
Ning Chen said lightly, “Second Aunt, I can’t see.”
He turned his head and asked Qin Yu, “Did you burn yourself?”
Qin Yu was taken aback. This fellow didn’t play by the rules! Shouldn’t he be asking why she splashed his cousin instead?
Also, he actually reminded them that he couldn’t see, and so calmly!
“Xiaoyu?” Ning Chen realized that she didn’t respond, so he called out to her again.
She hurriedly shook her head.
“No, brother, I didn’t intentionally pour it on her.
“It was she who hit Ah Bi, whose cheek was swollen, so I panicked and the kettle slipped from my grip.” Qin Yu stood obediently by Ning Chen’s side.
“Hey! What nonsense are you talking about?” Ning Jing barked angrily.
Qin Yu was so scared that she hid behind Ning Chen and did not respond, looking very vigilant.
The first cousin’s eyes were flaming in anger.
“Second Aunt, look at her!” Ning Jing ranted as she turned around to ask for help.
Ning Chen’s voice interrupted, soft but firm.
“Why did First Cousin slap Ah Bi?”
Everyone immediately fell silent.
“Ah Yu, our family doesn’t condone hitting any servants. What mistake did Ah Bi make that caused First Cousin to so blatantly disregard this rule?” Ning Chen asked again.
Qin Yu wanted to applaud and cheer. It turns out that Ning Chen was vile deep down as well!
If there was a chance in the future, she would definitely introduce him to the doctor. Both of them would definitely become best friends with those black hearts of theirs.
Sister Yu answered the young master respectfully.
“Young Master, the eldest miss heard that we called in a doctor last night and suspected that you had a hidden illness. She even called for the young mistress as a witness.
“You told Young Mistress to sleep in, so we didn’t dare to wake her. The eldest miss then reprimanded Ah Bi for not serving tea.
“Coincidentally, the young mistress had been in the tea room. She came out to pour tea for them, but when she saw the eldest miss hitting Ah Bi, she was shocked and accidentally let go of the teapot, thus causing Eldest Miss to be scalded.”
Ning Chen nodded intently after hearing about the entire situation.
“First Cousin is here to inquire about my wedding night?”
“Why didn’t you just ask me directly? I went to the ancestral hall with Second Uncle and Second Brother this morning. I thought everyone knew about it.
“Second Aunt brought First Cousin to meet Xiaoyu when I wasn’t around. You even scolded and laid your hands on my people. Second Aunt, how about I move out of the Ning family?”
Second Madam scrunched up her face and snapped, “Look at you, child. Wha– What are you even saying? You’re the eldest grandson of the Ning family’s eldest son. Where are you going to move to? This is your home!”
“Oh?
“My home! Yes, I’m the eldest grandson of the Ning family’s eldest son!
“If you didn’t mention it, I would have really overlooked it.
“Perhaps everyone else has forgotten about this too?”
He was really killing them!
With this accusation, no one dared to speak.
The sixth madam, who had been sitting quietly at the side, hastily got up.
“Ning Chen, I didn’t see my niece-in-law around last night either, so I thought I’d come over early this morning to give my regards.”
She took out a small, exquisite box from her handbag, walked in front of Qin Yu, and handed it to her.
“Xiaoyu, right? We’ll be family from now on. These are a pair of pearl earrings that I bought in France last year. I’ll give them to you as a greeting gift. I wish you both a happy wedding!”
Sixth Madam looked to be in her thirties. She was gentle and weak. Her looks and figure were not outstanding, but her speech and behavior were remarkable.
Qin Yu did not move.
Sixth Madam reached out and pulled Qin Yu’s hand, placing the gift in them, and smiled.
“Ning Chen, say something. Otherwise, Xiaoyu wouldn’t dare to accept it.”
Ning Chen tilted his head and said calmly, “Xiao Yu, you can accept Sixth Aunt’s goodwill. Thank your Sixth Aunt!”
Qin Yu grinned brightly and bowed. “Thank you, Sixth Aunt!”
Sixth Madam was surprised for a moment, then she too smiled and said, “This child is so obedient!”
Ning Chen also thanked her again. Sixth Madam replied, “You’re welcome. It’s what we should do.”
She glanced at the other women indifferently. They’ve dug their own graves, it’s their own problem and it does not involve her.
Second Madam gritted her teeth and glared back at her.
“We’ve originally prepared a gift for our niece-in-law to be sent over to our place too, but everyone was bustling with excitement. Who would have thought–”
Ning Chen cut her off and added plainly.
“As everyone can see, Xiaoyu is a simple-minded person. I’m worried about her going out alone. In the future, if anyone has any matters to look for her, you can come over to my place.
“She was tired yesterday, so she won’t be accompanying everyone today. As for the gift... Since it’s a gift from you elders, I will not dare refuse it, but I’ll have to ask Second Aunt to send someone over to deliver it.”
Qin Yu’s heart was beating violently in her chest and she felt giddy with appreciation.
This Ning Chen was awesome!
Not only was he handsome, he was also sly. What a perfect man!
