In the study in the east courtyard, Jun Cheng stood by the window, gazing at a flowerbed in front of him.
Various colorful flowers, bathed in the warm sunshine, unfold their innocent and romantic smiles.
Bees and butterflies raced to gather nectar from the flowers.
Jun Cheng parted his thin lips slightly, "What happened next?"
Standing behind Jun Cheng, Lin Ziye replied, "The second wife of the Marquis's family knelt and begged at the General's Mansion for four days. In the end, the old lady of the General's Mansion came forward and announced that she was severing her mother-daughter relationship with her, and then let her take away Jun Zijian, who had been tortured beyond recognition."
Lin Ziye really wanted to clap his hands and laugh out loud. Without the support of the General's Mansion, let's see what tricks that old woman can pull.
"Master, what should we do next?" Lin Ziye was now eager to kill that old woman.
Jun Cheng's face remained as indifferent as ever. "How is Jun Zijian?"
"Oh, they say his legs were both broken and he can only lie in bed. He can't stand up. I don't know if he was scared out of his mind in the dungeon. After returning to the Marquis's mansion, he has been delirious, talking nonsense, and incontinent."
Lin Ziye spoke happily, but couldn't help feeling regretful that he couldn't see it for himself.
Nobody knew how arrogant and domineering he used to be in front of his master.
The only thing I can do is secretly punish him as a minor offense, which is incredibly frustrating.
"Go to the Red Duck Tower to redeem Miss Xiao Qiu and take her to the Marquis's mansion to serve Marquis Yong'an."
Jun Cheng spoke slowly.
Lin Ziye cupped his hands and said, "I will take care of it immediately."
Thinking to himself, given the Marquis of Yong'an's profit-driven nature, the mother and son had probably already become outcasts in the Marquis's mansion.
But why did the master send the old flame of the Marquis of Yong'an to him?
Despite their doubts, they didn't stop walking.
In the west courtyard, Ning Qing lay half-reclined on the couch, engrossed in reading the storybook in her hand.
Huan'er strode in, a smile on her face. "Young Master, the Eldest Young Master has come to visit."
Upon hearing this, Ning Qing put down her book and said, "Please come in quickly."
Ning Qing had a rather good impression of this older brother.
Huan'er happily agreed and quickly turned to leave.
After a short while, a young man in blue walked in through the door.
"Little brother, your big brother has come to see you."
When Ning Qing saw her eldest brother again, she noticed that he had become darker and thinner.
"Little brother! Have you been having nightmares lately?"
Ning's eldest brother grabbed Ning Qing's hand and asked anxiously.
"Uh..." The eldest brother must have made progress to ask such a question, so I quickly replied, "It's a little better."
The eldest brother of the Ning family said with a smile, “Little brother! Nowadays, many people have benefited from our family. They all enshrine your longevity tablet at home and burn incense and pray every day.”
These are acts of kindness in times of need; only those people would sincerely support you.
"Brother, you've worked hard." Ning Qing was somewhat touched. So this is what family is like.
They will work hard for their families, and will show their most genuine smile when they see their loved ones are safe and sound.
Just as Ning Qing was about to say something, her hand was grabbed from behind, accompanied by an unpleasant voice.
"Why are you standing so close?"
Jun Cheng had come to see Ning Qing, but when he saw her struggling with a man outside the door, he was immediately enraged and strode in, pulling Ning Qing away.
At this moment, Jun Cheng saw Ning's eldest brother's face clearly and remembered that this person had once had a secret rendezvous with Ning Qing in the inn.
Jun Cheng felt as if he had been stung countless times in his heart, a dense, persistent pain.
His handsome face darkened slightly as he gazed intently at Ning Qing.
Ning Qing felt his gaze and was slightly puzzled. Something was wrong with the little brat!
Seeing Jun Cheng's rudeness, the eldest brother of the Ning family spoke with a hint of anger.
"Let go of my little brother's hand," she said, walking over and pulling Ning Qing's hand back.
Jun Cheng was so shocked by the word "little brother" that he forgot to react, and the frail Ning Ge easily pulled Ning Qing back.
