"Miss, I think we may have a competitor now." Yue Man immediately said worriedly.
"Who?" Ning Xiaotang hadn't thought of anyone yet.
"My dear, I have heard from Ling Lang these days that people in Shuihe Town have been saying privately that the hostess of Young Master Ye's Mid-Autumn Moon Viewing Night is Yu Zimei!
So Miss Yu's chances are greater now than yours!"
"What? Yu Zimei? When did she become the mistress of the Ye Mansion? This is outrageous!"
Ning Xiaotang was furious when she heard this.
"Girl, do you still remember the painting hanging in your room?" Quan Yuedao
"I remember, what's wrong?"
"There's actually a rubbing of this painting in Shuihe Town!"
"Bah! Yu Zimei is such a good girl! I told you that she definitely had no good intentions when she came to me on her own initiative during the Mid-Autumn Festival!
My intuition was right. That night I felt that the feeling she gave me was unreal. The fact that she was able to copy the original painting in my room must have been done by the secret guards around Yu Zimei!"
"Miss, what should we do then?" Yueman asked immediately.
"What should I do? Ye Jingxiao is a person, not an object. How can I force Ye Jingxiao to accept someone else? This Yu Zimei can be said to have dug a dead end for herself.
The more this happens, the less Ye Jingxiao will pay attention to her!"
"Girl, do you still care about the rumors?" Yueman asked.
"Of course, you don't have to pay attention to rumors. As long as Ye Jingxiao doesn't mean that, it's impossible for others to spread them even if they are true."
"Yes, young lady." The maids in the room finally relaxed.
At this time, Banyue came in hurriedly from outside: "Miss, Chen Erni has been coming to Ning's house frequently recently."
"Chen Erni, isn't she already engaged to Brother Fang?"
"My lady, that's right. Chen Erni has been bringing her little handkerchief to ask Madam to teach her how to make clothes."
"Auntie is her aunt. Even if Chen Erni really came to see her, that would be normal. Could it be that Banyue discovered something unusual?"
"My dear lady, I feel that a girl who is about to get married should stay at home every day. Why is she running out every day?"
Ning Xiaotang nodded and said, "This is a little strange, but maybe it's because my aunt is the eldest lady of the Ning family and has seen a lot. Maybe Chen Erni wants my aunt to share her experience as a wife."
Ban Yue immediately bowed and said, "Perhaps I am overthinking this. I will take my leave."
"Okay, step back. I'll take a rest for a while." Ning Xiaotang immediately rubbed his temples.
After hearing the heated discussion about Yu Zimei becoming the Princess of Chen, to be honest, I was still quite unhappy.
Although I am less than two years old, my soul has traveled through time and space, and my mind already knows what love and deeper feelings are.
How could she let Yu Zimei kidnap a handsome young man like Ye Jingxiao?
This Yu Zimei is indeed ambitious and her target is Ye Jingxiao's position as Princess Chen?
Although Ning Xiaotang had a certain feeling of liking Luo Hao, that was behind the mask. There was always a feeling that he was too mysterious, and there was also an illusion of déjà vu.
It actually made Ning Xiaotang's mind waver for a moment.
Could it be that I actually like two handsome guys at the same time? But is this too greedy?
Ning Xiaotang was sitting on the couch with her eyes closed, thinking about something.
There was a clamor outside, "Tangtang, you have to take care of this kind of people who are taking advantage of you! Tangtang, come out quickly!"
Ning Xiaotang immediately opened her eyes and asked, "Isn't this the voice of my second aunt Hai Moying?"
Quan Yue immediately said distressedly: "Miss, you just rested for a while, and now you have to deal with the Second Madam's quarrel again."
"Let's go and see what's making her so noisy."
Hai Moying was holding Chen Erni's hand, and the two of them were pulling each other.
"Second aunt, Second Sister Ni, what's going on with you?" Ning Xiaotang came out and smiled politely.
"Hmph! Where's Sister Erni? She should be called Erni the Thief!" Hai Moying's words were hurtful and vicious.
"Why do you say I'm a thief!" Chen Erni was also very angry, tears welling up in her eyes.
"You're not a thief? Then where did these bars of soap come from?" Hai Moying pointed at a small cloth bag in Chen Erni's hand.
"This is the soap my aunt gave me privately. Why do you have to interfere?" Chen Erni shouted angrily.
"Humph, anyone who secretly takes the soap from my Ning family is a thief!"
Hai Moying yelled in anger.
At this time, Chen Ya heard the news and hurried over: "How did this get mixed up? What's going on with Erni?"
"Aunt, this second lady is so mean. She even accused me of stealing soap!" Chen Erni immediately felt uneasy.
Whether it was stolen or not, now that my aunt is here, nothing is known.
"Didn't I ask you to bring soap to my family?" Chen Ya said immediately with a stiff upper lip.
Although she didn't know how this was related to soap, she had to first clear her niece from the suspicion of being a thief.
"It turned out that it was my aunt who asked my second sister to bring the soap. Then this matter is easy to deal with. Second aunt, you should go back first!" Ning Xiaotang would not really use a few bars of soap to tarnish someone's innocence.
But Hai Moyingli was so angry that he shouted loudly: "Chen Ya, you are lying! Chen Erni clearly didn't see you when she came into the house just now. You were accompanying the old lady in the Buddhist temple! She, Chen Erni ran to the workshop to get several bars of soap and tried to sneak away!"
Chen Ya saw that Hai Moying knew all about his whereabouts, so he immediately said with a stiff scalp, "Second sister-in-law, I asked Erni to get the soap. If this makes you unhappy, I will just give you less soap this month. Why do you have to smear Erni as a thief?"
Chen Ya would never allow anyone to say that Chen Erni was a thief at this time.
If this gets out, the Fang family will cancel the engagement!
Chen Ya immediately said to Ning Xiaotang with a guilty conscience, "Tangtang, this Chen Erni is my niece. She asked me to take her home. I really asked her to get the soap. I didn't steal it."
Ning Xiaotang nodded immediately and said, "Since Auntie has repeatedly confirmed that it wasn't stolen, then take Sister Erni back with you. But next time, don't run off with the soap unaccompanied like this. Auntie will catch you and punish you!"
"Okay, I understand." Chen Ya gritted his teeth secretly.
Ever since Hai Moying promised Ning Xiaotang that he would help the family, he got an idle job and had to keep an eye on the pockets of the people in the mansion every day.
Anyone who carries an extra piece of soap on their person will be interrogated by Hai Moying.
Not to mention, this made all the servants behave themselves and not take anything smuggled.
But Chen Erni was unlucky.
"How many times have you smuggled things in?" Chen Ya and Chen Erni were talking in the room.
"Aunt, I-I have my reasons." Tears streamed down Chen Erni's face.
