Chapter 184 Guilt

"Old lady!" Nanny Bai sighed softly, "How could you think so? After all, you are also kept in the dark."

The elder lady is old, and Nanny Bai naturally doesn't want her to hurt her health by worrying too much about these things.

"Alas..." The elder lady leaned dejectedly on the chaise longue, shaking her head and sighing, "I raised my granddaughter single-handedly, and I thought I knew her very well. But how could she harbor such thoughts? He's the second girl's fiancé, and she actually wants to kill her and take her place. When one plan fails, she comes up with another, even ruining her reputation. Doesn't she know that a woman's reputation is as important as the sky? What's the difference between ruining the second girl's reputation and killing her?"

Shaoyao couldn't bear to see the elder lady so sad, so she consoled her, "Old lady, maybe there's some misunderstanding."

"I also hope it's a misunderstanding!" The elder lady narrowed her eyes, shook her head and said, "But, I raised my granddaughter single-handedly. I know that if Tong was right, she wouldn't leave in such a hurry. Sigh... maybe I really was wrong all these years!"

This time, the elder lady was truly shocked. Nothing Ning had done before had shocked her as much as today.

"Old lady!" Seeing that the old lady's spirit had suddenly wilted, Nanny Bai and Shaoyao couldn't bear it and called out softly.

"I think if this family could have been separated earlier, maybe Lei'er and his family wouldn't have so many worries!" The elder lady's voice was very soft, as if she was talking to herself: "I feel so ashamed of the eldest brother's family!"

Seeing the state of Madam Yuan Lao, Nanny Bai felt deeply distressed. "Old Madam, please don't dwell on these things. If you truly feel guilty towards the Master, then you should take good care of your health. Otherwise, if your health collapses, wouldn't the Master be heartbroken and blame himself? If that happens, wouldn't you feel even more guilty?"

The elder lady naturally understood Nanny Bai's painstaking efforts. She patted Nanny Bai's hand and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't think about it anymore. Forget it. As you said, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Let them go. I, an old woman, can't control them anymore!"

"You're right, old lady!" Seeing that the old lady listened to the advice, Nanny Bai and Shaoyao breathed a sigh of relief. Shaoyao hurriedly said, "Let me bring you dinner. Please eat something!"

The elder lady waved her hand: "No more eating, I can't eat anymore, help me go in and lie down for a while!"

Nanny Bai and Shaoyao looked at each other and knew that Madam Yuan had not yet recovered from her shock. They had no choice but to follow Madam Yuan's lead, helping her into the inner room and helping her lie down.

When Liu and Yuan Ziyu returned to Liufengyuan, Yuan Qifeng had already returned and learned about what happened today from the two brothers of the Yuan family.

Seeing Liu's mother and daughter return, he said, "An'er and Ning'er have told me everything. Don't worry, I'll talk to mother about this issue later."

Liu was holding her breath all the way back from Shousong Hall. She was angry at the Ning mother and daughter's shamelessness and hatred, angry at Madam Yuan's partiality, and heartbroken about the suffering Yuan Ziyu had suffered. Yuan Ziyu's attempts to comfort her along the way were of no use, which made Yuan Ziyu feel a little regretful. She should have told Liu everything slowly before, so that Liu would not be so angry today.

"Don't bother talking!" Liu heard Yuan Qifeng's words and gritted her teeth and said, "Yuan Zitong will never come to our house again. If she dares to come, I will beat her every time."

After saying that, he repeatedly ordered Yuan Qifeng's servants: "Go to the gatehouse and ask Duoduo to prepare a few wooden sticks. From now on, if that bastard Yuan Zitong dares to come, tell them to beat him up, whether he's injured or killed!"

Yuan Qifeng and the two brothers of the Yuan family were all confused, not knowing why Liu was so angry.

"Yun'er, what happened?" Yuan Qifeng asked hurriedly.

"Hmph!" Liu slammed the table fiercely while sitting on a chair. "Your good niece is truly despicable and shameless. She actually coveted Fei'er. Because of this, she repeatedly came to harm You'er, hoping to replace her!"

In a few words, Liu told the Yuan family's father and son about Ning and Yuan Zitong's vicious intentions and how they harmed Yuan Ziyu. Yuan Ziyu had been by Liu's side, helping her to calm down, fearing that she would get hurt from her anger.

After hearing what Liu said, the Yuan family's father and son were all furious. It turned out that what they knew before was not the whole story!

Yuan Zining was so angry that he wanted to go to Yuan Qilei's house and give Yuan Zitong a good beating first!

Yuan Zian stopped Yuan Zining and said, "As a man, if you hit a girl, even if you are right, you will be wrong!"

"That's right!" Yuan Qifeng also agreed with Yuan Zian's words.

"Dad, big brother!" Yuan Zining said dissatisfiedly: "Are you just going to let her go like this? Why?"

"When did you say you'd let her go?" Yuan Zian said coldly, "Listen to what Dad says first."

"Dad!" Yuan Zining quickly looked at Yuan Qifeng again.

"Don't worry about it, leave this matter to me!" Yuan Qifeng said with narrowed eyes.

"Dad, then you..." Yuan Zining was about to continue asking when he was stopped by Yuan Zian: "Dad, Mom, then Aning and I will go back first!"

After the two brothers left Liufeng Garden, Yuan Zining said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, why are you stopping me!"

Yuan Zian glanced at Yuan Zining and said, "Let Dad handle the things that are open to the public!"

"Brother, I understand what you mean!" After hearing Yuan Zian's words, Yuan Zining's eyes lit up: "Brother, when do you say we should go and knock the club?"

Yuan Zian slapped Yuan Zining on the back of the head: "Just a beating is too easy for them!"

"Ouch!" Yuan Zining groaned, rubbing the back of his head and said, "Brother, what do you mean?"

"If you want revenge, you have to do it thoroughly!" Yuan Zian narrowed his eyes with an inexplicable look.

Yuan Zining sighed: "Brother, can you please not keep me in suspense?"

"cannot!"

Yuan Zining: ...

At Liufeng Garden, Yuan Ziyu comforted Yuan Qifeng and Liu. Seeing that Liu's mood had calmed down, and having dinner at Liufeng Garden, he felt at ease and took Qingying Qingzhi back to Wuyou Pavilion.

"Brother Xi, why are you here again at this time?" In the evening, Qingying and Qingzhi helped Yuan Ziyu lie down. Not long after they left the room, Yuan Ziyu felt that there was an extra person at the window. The familiar breath made Yuan Ziyu know the identity of the person, so he hurriedly got up, put on a cloak, and asked softly.

Huo Xifei lightly jumped into the house and said with a soft laugh, "I'm here to bring you something!"

As he spoke, he shook the mahogany carved box in his hand.
