Chapter 364 The Conflict between Yan Fuzhen and Yu Mingche
"Master, Ying Shuai has collected two boxes of Thunder Spirit Stones and sent them over. Please check them." Yan Fuzhen came in to report.
Ning Xuan leaned on Yu Mingche and played with his hair. Yan Fuzhen's sudden voice startled Ning Xuan, who was already absent-minded. She exerted force with her hand and almost pulled off the strand of hair that was wrapped around Yu Mingche's hand.
"Sorry, does it hurt?" Ning Xuan looked at Yu Mingche apologetically, touched his face, and looked down from his face to his neck. There was a bright red kiss mark on his fair and slender neck. Her gaze continued to move downwards, and Ning Xuan knew that there were more marks below the collar.
"It doesn't hurt, master. Butler Yan is outside." Yu Mingche pulled up his collar somewhat unnaturally.
Ning Xuan knew that Yu Mingche was shy, so she straightened her clothes, returned to her seat, and sat upright.
"Bring it in." Yu Mingche said to the outside.
Yan Fuzhen brought two large boxes inlaid with gems and carried them with four attendants. He opened the lids of the boxes and found sparkling thunder spirit stones inside, emitting thunder energy fluctuations.
Ning Xuan stood up and walked closer to the box, looking at the spirit stones in the box with interest. Although these spirit stones are very rare, they are not of great significance to the difficulties she encountered in cultivation. However, once she breaks through the current bottleneck, these spirit stones will come in handy.
"Butler Yan, please give a thank-you gift to the soldiers who worked hard to transport the spirit stones here." After checking, Ning Xuan planned to put the two boxes of thunder spirit stones into the space button.
"Yes, Master." Yan Fuzhen agreed.
"Wait, Master, the box is so deep, and we don't know if there will be other items inside. For your safety, we still need to check it carefully again." Yu Mingche stopped him.
"General Yu, these two boxes of thunder spirit stones were sealed and stored by Commander Ying himself, and the person who transported the spirit stones was also Commander Ying's confidant. There is no need to check it again." Yan Fuzhen said with a serious face.
"No matter who sends the items, they must be checked. Feng Linran, check." Yu Mingche waved his hand, and Feng Linran came forward from behind the curtain. Someone behind him brought two new wooden boxes.
"Master, Ying Shuai is devoted to you. Don't you trust Ying Shuai?" Yan Fuzhen asked Ning Xuan sadly.
Before Yu Mingche moved into the Qingluan Mountain Villa, Yan Fuzhen had been avoiding contact with Ying Yaoshi, just because he didn't want Ning Xuan to misunderstand that he was still thinking about his old master and was not paying enough attention to her.
But now, with the arrival of Yu Mingche, especially during the six months when Ning Xuan was missing, Yu Mingche and Yan Fuzhen had more and more conflicts.
"Butler Yan, this has nothing to do with trust. Since I have authorized Mingche with the household affairs, I will naturally listen to him on matters like this. He is acting in accordance with the rules and regulations, and is not targeting anyone. Isn't your reaction a bit too much now?" Ning Xuan asked with a frown.
"You weren't like this before. Now you don't know your position, or you are too arrogant and unwilling to obey orders?" Ning Xuan looked at the pale-faced Yan Fuzhen with scrutiny.
Hearing Ning Xuan's words, Yan Fuzhen immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Master, I was afraid that you would only care about the newcomer and hurt Master Ying's sincere heart. In a hurry, I said something inappropriate. I am willing to accept the punishment."
Ning Xuan ignored him. Feng Linran, under Yan Fuzhen's instructions, had already checked the spirit stones one by one and put them into a new box.
Feng Linran was very fast, and finished checking the two boxes of spirit stones in about ten minutes. "Master, the thunder spirit stones have been checked and there is no problem. There are also no problems with these two boxes. Please check them."
Ning Xuan put away the two boxes of Thunder Spirit Stones that she had checked. "Butler Yan, you have helped me a lot. I remember all those contributions. I don't think I have treated you unfairly during the two years you have been by my side. For the sake of our harmonious relationship, if you have any other ideas, you can tell me. Let's part ways in peace and not harbor grudges." Ning Xuan said.
Yan Fuzhen raised his head instantly, with an expression of disbelief on his face and deep panic in his eyes. The Qingluan Mountain Villa was where Ning Xuan lived. The Marshal did not have time to stay with Ning Xuan all the time, and he could not leave here anymore.
"I swear to follow you till death and will never leave. Please understand, I am loyal to you and have no second thoughts." Yan Fuzhen clenched his right fist and placed it on his chest to show his loyalty to Ning Xuan.
"I hope so. Butler Yan, go back and reflect on yourself. Yu Mingche is my contractor. You can supervise Yu Mingche's behavior, but you cannot challenge his authority openly. If there is any violation in the future, you will be dealt with according to the family rules." Ning Xuan said and left, and Yu Mingche left with him.
Feng Linran saw Yan Fuzhen standing up with a heavy expression, looked at him provocatively, walked up to him, and whispered, "Yan Fuzhen, the master behind you can't compete with us, the consul, and you still dare to jump out and cause trouble. Be careful that one day you will be kicked out by the master of the family, and you will have a hard time explaining to your master when you go back."
Yan Fuzhen glanced at Feng Linran coldly and smiled contemptuously, "Your master's favor has nothing to do with you. You have been hanging around in front of the master for so long." Yan Fuzhen leaned forward slightly, and his low voice was filled with biting sarcasm: "The master has never even looked at you, right?"
Seeing Feng Linran's face full of anger, even his fists were clenched tightly, Yan Fuzhen slowly stroked his sleeves, and the contempt in his eyes became even stronger: "The head of the family doesn't even bother to look at you. You have nothing to do in the villa, which is why Yu Mingche has to be hindered by me in his work. You still have the nerve to laugh at me here, it's ridiculous."
Feng Linran's eyes were filled with anger, but he suddenly sneered: "Yan Fuzhen, you are just good at talking. What did the governor tell you to do? Do you dare not listen? Just now you wanted to see Miss Ning's attitude, did you get what you wanted?"
Yan Fuzhen's eyes turned cold, and before he could say anything, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. The two men restrained their expressions at the same time and each took a half step back, as if the tension just now had never existed.
"Butler Yan, someone is here to visit the master of the family. Here is a visiting card." The servant came hurriedly and handed a card with golden embossing to Yan Fuzhen.
Yan Fuzhen opened the post and his expression changed. He immediately called Ning Xuan through the smart butler, "What's the matter?"
Ning Xuan asked lazily.
"Master, Mr. Yun's mother Zhu Hongying, Mr. Lin's mother Lin Yuzhi, and his father Yun Tianming have come together to visit you. They have just handed in a visiting card, saying that they hope to come and visit you this afternoon." Yan Fuzhen reported.
"Are they coming together?" Ning Xuan asked back.
"Yes, they only handed over a note," Yan Fuzhen replied.
"It seems like something is going on?" Ning Xuan said to herself.
