Chapter 329 One for One



Chapter 329 One for One

The little grandson of the Lao Mao family, Ning Ge'er, who was just seven years old this year, came out of the Liu family villa and prepared to go to school.

Not far from the Liu family villa there is a primary school that specializes in teaching children who have just started to learn to read.

As the elementary school was not far away, Ning Ge'er always went back to Liu's villa to have lunch at noon, and then returned to the elementary school after a short rest to start his afternoon lessons.

However, Mao Ning had only taken a few steps when he was dragged aside by someone.

"Kid, are you from the Liu family's other manor, or from the Yu family?"

Bai Huanqin asked arrogantly.

Ning Ge'er sensed that Bai Huanqin had come with ill intentions and shrank his neck in fear.

"I'm asking you a question, why are you mute?" Bai Huanqin was very unhappy.

Bai Rong hurriedly whispered, "Miss, didn't we check the Liu family's villa earlier? It turned out to be the retired scholar Liu who returned to his hometown... He is from his villa, so should we give him some face..."

Bai Huanqin sneered disdainfully: "The Liu family, humph... I heard from my sister before that since the great scholar Liu retired and returned to his hometown a few years ago, the Liu family has been getting worse day by day. How many times has Liu Qingyuan been demoted?... The highest-ranking official in the Liu family right now is Liu Qingyuan, the fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Rites. Before I left Beijing, he was looking for ways to beg my brother-in-law."

Speaking of this, Bai Huanqin smiled even more disdainfully.

In Bai Huanqin's opinion, you are the only person in the Liu family who has a face in the officialdom, and you have to beg my relatives humbly. What's so great about you?

"The eldest lady is marrying into the Yuan family. The second master of the Yuan family is currently the Minister of Rites, and is Liu Qingyuan's immediate superior. So, the Liu family should still respect the second lady!" Bai Rong flattered.

Bai Huanqin raised his chin and agreed with it.

Ning Ge'er just felt that this group of people were incomprehensible.

When he was less than two years old, he and his family lived with Old Lady Liu in the Liu Family Villa. Old Lady Liu rarely mentioned her son in Beijing, and Lao Mao naturally would not mention him either. Ning Ge'er didn't even know who Liu Qingyuan was.

Ning Ge'er pursed his lips tightly and said, "If you don't have anything to do, please move aside. I still have to go to school."

He thought that these people in front of him might be crazy, and their voices were trembling.

Bai Huanqin lost her patience and kicked Ning Ge'er directly: "You little brat, just answer the questions honestly! Is the Yu family staying at the Liu family's villa now?"

Ning Ge'er felt pain and fell to the ground.

He was scared to death, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "...I don't know!"

Bai Huanqin kicked Ning Ge'er again, knocking him to the ground.

Ning Ge'er was only a seven-year-old child after all. He could not bear the pain and burst into tears.

Bai Huanqin was annoyed when she heard this, so she raised her hands and asked the guards to tie up Ning Ge'er and cover his mouth.

"Forget it, let's just use this guy to exchange for that little bitch!" Bai Huanqin gritted her teeth, "It's okay to beat up others, but I want that little bitch to suffer a fate worse than death!"

The Liu family's doorman ran in with a grim look on his face to report to Lao Mao.

Lao Mao was sitting on the porch with Old Lady Liu, watching Xing Xing and the others playing. The sun was shining brightly, and it was so comfortable.

As a result, the doorman came running over breathlessly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Lao Mao and Old Lady Liu's faces changed instantly!

"——Old lady! Master Mao! Someone outside has tied up Ning Ge'er and is yelling at us to take, take... and exchange!"

The doorman glanced at Xingxing.

He was too embarrassed to repeat the derogatory words those people had used.

But because Xingxing was the only granddaughter in the Yu family, they knew the other party was talking about Xingxing as soon as they heard it.

When Lao Mao heard that his grandson was tied up, he became very anxious: "...These people are like flies, once you get on them, you can't get rid of them!"

Old Lady Liu was so angry that she stood up with her cane: "I think the words in the letter I wrote yesterday were too subtle! The young people in the Linyang Marquis's Mansion have become so arrogant. How can the Linyang Marquis's Mansion be a good thing!"

Xing Xing heard it all, handed the ball in her hand to the maid who was playing with her, wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and strode down the corridor: "Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Mao, I heard it all. You guys take me out too."

Old Master Liu frowned and was about to refuse: "No..."

Xing Xing nodded seriously to Old Master Liu: "Don't worry, I'm definitely not that stupid. Ning'er's safety is important, and I know my safety is important too. But since the young lady from the Marquis of Linyang Mansion is here for me, I must go and see her."

After thinking it over, Old Master Liu nodded and said to Lao Mao, "Don't worry, have someone tell the Yu family."

Lao Mao took a deep breath, nodded calmly, and made the arrangements.

When the Yu family heard this, they felt that the people in Linyang Marquis' Mansion were just like mad dogs!

Ning Ge'er is only seven years old!

As a result, when Old Lady Liu and the Yu family walked out of the house, they saw Ning'er tied up tightly, with some cloth stuffed in his mouth, and several footprints on his body. The anger that they had just suppressed immediately flared up again.

Xing Xing was afraid that Old Lady Liu would get angry and get hurt, so she quickly took out a pill from her sachet to calm her nerves and gather her energy, and held it in front of Old Lady Liu: "You should take the pill."

Old Lady Liu also knew her own body condition, so she took the medicine and swallowed it, but her face still looked a little ugly.

Lao Mao was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "...You are simply not human! Ning Ge'er is only seven years old! How could you--"

Bai Huanqin sneered and tapped the folded horsewhip in his hand: "Who asked you to offend our Linyang Marquis Mansion!... Do you really think that the Liu family is still a high-ranking and wealthy family? Liu Qingyuan, who supports the family, is just a doctor in the Ministry of Rites. What do you have to fight against our Linyang Marquis Mansion?!"

Bai Huanqin's eyes shot at Xingxing like poisoned arrows, and the whip in his hand was also pointed at Xingxing, "One for one. Hand over that little girl, and I will return this brat to you!"

"Don't even think about it! Bah!" Lao Mao's face was distorted and he spat at Bai Huanqin in an unruly manner.

Bai Huanqin's face turned pale: "You are such a coward! Since you don't care about this kid's life, I will take him back and lock him up for three days and three nights!"

Ning Ge'er was so scared that his whole body was shaking, but he held on and did not ask Bai Huanqin for mercy. He just cried big tears.

Lao Mao felt heartbroken.

Old Lady Liu was so angry that the veins on her forehead were throbbing!

The Linyang Marquisate is bullying others by taking advantage of its power and acting so arrogantly. Even if he could write a letter directly to the emperor to report the Linyang Marquisate, it would be of no use to put out the nearby fire!

Bai Huanqin poked Ning Ge'er's chin with a whip and said, "Little devil, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame that little bitch from the Yu family! If she hadn't poisoned me yesterday and refused to hand herself over in exchange for you today, I would have had to take this debt from you!"
