Then Qian Fangcao whispered her plan to Mrs. Qian.
Yan'er gave some silver to Mrs. Qian and sent her out of Ning's house.
However, Mrs. Qian did not go home. Instead, she quietly came to the village entrance and left in an ox cart.
In the courtyard of Liu Lanqing's Ning residence
"Sister Yilan, please stand still and let my mother take your measurements."
Chen Yilan had a smile on her face, and her heart felt sweeter than if she had eaten candy.
I originally thought Tangtang was just trying to coax her, but who would have thought that Ning Xiaotang actually took out a piece of beautiful turquoise cloth and asked Liu Lanqing to actually measure her size and make new clothes for her.
Chen Yilan felt so happy.
Liu Lanqing immediately measured the dimensions, wrote them down, and then ordered, "Erhua, quickly go to the kitchen and bring two bowls of minced meat and egg custard for the two girls to enjoy."
Chen Erhua immediately said, "Yes, Third Madam!"
Ning Xiaotang and Chen Yilan sat in the pavilion. Quanyue served them warm water and snacks, as well as some fresh fruits and longans that Ning Xiaotang took out from the space.
"Mom, the Mid-Autumn Festival is just over ten days away. Will you make mooncakes for us to eat?"
Liu Lanqing was also sitting nearby and said, "I'm just a greedy cat. Wait for me to prepare the ingredients in the next few days. I will definitely make some good mooncakes for you to eat."
"Wow, Aunt Ning, do you mean Yilan is also involved?" Chen Yilan asked in surprise.
"Of course, Yilan is Tangtang's good friend, so of course she'll share some good things with you."
"Yes, yes, yes, Sister Yilan, don't worry. Tell Uncle Chen not to buy mooncakes in Shuihe Town. I'll ask mother to send some to you to save you the trouble."
"Thank you, Sister Tangtang!" Chen Yilan immediately stood up and bowed, then said to Liu Lanqing, "Thank you, Aunt Ning!"
"Good boy, stop thanking me and sit down."
At this time, Chen Erhua came in with a tray. "Madam, the kitchen staff made an extra portion of egg custard just now. Would you like some too?"
Liu Lanqing saw the exquisite food in the small white bowl and smiled, "Okay!"
Then the three of them sat in the pavilion and ate delicious minced meat and egg custard.
They were enjoying their meal when Yue Man came to report, "Madam San, Miss Zheng is crying outside, saying that she was beaten by Liu Xiangzhi!"
"What? Where is Sister Douqin now?" Ning Xiaotang immediately put down the bowl and asked.
"Miss Zheng is crying outside Ning's residence right now."
"Come on, come with me to see her." Ning Xiaotang stood up immediately.
"I'm going too!" Chen Yilan immediately stood up and followed him.
Liu Lanqing also said angrily: "Why did he get beaten for no reason? Go and take a look."
Then everyone headed towards the gate of Ning's house.
"Tangtang, wuwu~That Liu Xiangzhi hit me here!" Zheng Douqin pointed at the left side of her cheek.
There are obviously a few small red marks.
"Sister Douqin, you're in pain, right?" Ning Xiaotang quickly walked over to take a look. "Oh my god, how hard did you hit her? Your face is swollen."
"Tangtang, come with me to tell my grandparents to beat Liu Xiangzhi, okay?" Zheng Douqin is the granddaughter of the village chief and the younger sister of Zheng Liangduo.
"Sister Douqin, there's no need for the village chief to intervene in this matter. I will seek justice for you!"
Ning Xiaotang waved her little arm and said, "Let's go to Ye's house!"
Not long after, a group of people were seen running to the door of Ye's house with fierce momentum.
As soon as Xu Qingfeng saw Ning Xiaotang, he immediately came out to greet her with a smile, "Hello, Miss Ning!"
"Xu Qingfeng, go call Liu Xiangzhi out quickly, I have something to ask her!"
Xu Qingfeng immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Miss Ning, come here! Go and call Liu Xiangzhi out!"
It didn't take long before Liu Xiangzhi came out of the house at night hiding behind the manager.
"I didn't hit Zheng Douqin!"
"I haven't asked you yet? You already know what I'm going to ask you? Aren't you obviously feeling guilty?" Ning Xiaotang stared into Liu Xiangzhi's eyes.
It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Liu Xiangzhi's avoidant eyes clearly showed that she was feeling guilty.
"I just asked Zheng Douqin to move aside so I could take out the trash. I hit her because she didn't move!"
"Is that true, Douqin-nee?"
"No! Liu Xiangzhi saw me having fun under the tree, and Liu Xiangzhu was there too. She angrily came forward and hit Liu Xiangzhu, and then I asked her why she hit me.
Ugh~ She came forward and slapped me, it hurt so much! "
“Although Zheng Douqin is only five years old, she speaks clearly.
Liu Xiangzhi, it's already wrong for you to hit your own sister, but you've even involved others. Zheng Douqin isn't your sister, someone you can torture at will!"
Liu Xiangzhi's face flushed with anger as she said, "Yes, I did hit her, so what? Who told them to speak ill of the maid?"
"Speaking ill of the maid?" Ning Xiaotang glanced at Zheng Douqin.
"We didn't say anything. We were just imitating the young lady and the maid in the storybook. I was the young lady and Xiangzhu was the maid."
Zheng Douqin acted as if it was a matter of course.
"Why should you be a lady and my sister a maid? Can't my sister be a lady?"
"This is the wish of the two little kids. Who will be the maid and who will be the lady is their own decision. Why do you have to get angry and hit them for this?" Ning Xiaotang stared at Liu Xiangzhi with an expression of confusion.
"I won't allow it!" Liu Xiangzhi was so angry that she was confused.
"Xu Qingfeng, you have to punish Liu Xiangzhi severely and let her know that hitting others casually is wrong. Punish her with five big sticks!"
Liu Xiangzhi immediately screamed, "I only hit Zheng Douqin once, why did you have to hit me with five big sticks?"
"Liu Xiangzhu, you also hit me, so of course I have to punish you twice as much!" Ning Xiaotang said without feeling guilty at all.
"Take him away and give him five big beatings with boards!" Xu Qingfeng immediately gave the order.
Immediately, a woman grabbed Liu Xiangzhi and dragged her away.
After a while, Liu Xiangzhi was heard shouting, "Ah! It hurts! Ah!"
Soon the five beatings were over, and Liu Xiangzhu also came over after hearing the news.
"Was my sister really beaten?" Liu Xiangzhu asked weakly in a low voice.
Ning Xiaotang glanced back and said, "He got spanked with five big sticks! His butt is probably swollen now."
After a while, the old woman who was going to administer the caning came out and said, "Miss Ning, the five big canings have been completed."
"Where is Liu Xiangzhi? Is she okay?" Yan Fengniang immediately ran out to see.
Liu Xiangzhi covered her buttocks and said, "Aunt Yan, I'm fine, it's just that my butt hurts."
"Come, I'll help you go back." Yan Fengniang immediately helped Liu Xiangzhi go away.
Ning Xiaotang glanced at Yan Fengniang, and for some reason she looked as if she was overly concerned.
But because she was far away from him, he couldn't see her condition.
"Miss Ning, the five big beatings have already been given. Do you have anything else to say?" Xu Qingfeng noticed that his master looked unhappy today.
