After Ning Yu and Xuan'er returned to the Ning family, they walked quickly to their own yard.
I poured a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. Only then did I feel my throat was less dry and my mind was a little calmer.
Even if Xi Shiyan and Xi Shiye came to the Ning family, what would it matter? She had already broken off the engagement with the Xi family, and it had nothing to do with her.
Besides, this is the Ning family’s territory, so if anyone is afraid, it should be the eldest cousin and the second cousin!
After Ning Yu figured it out, he was no longer so panicked.
Night gradually falls and a cold wind blows outside the yard.
Lingyi was very efficient and quickly investigated the matter and returned to the house purchased by the Xi family in Jiangnan.
Xi Shiyan and Xi Shiye were discussing at this time.
There was a knock on the door.
\"Enter.\"
Ling Yi pushed the door open and walked in, a look of embarrassment on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "My cousin is currently looking for a young man..."
Xi Shiyan's expression changed instantly. His lips were pursed tightly, and a sharp coldness seeped out from his eyes. After a long pause, he said, "You should go out first."
\"yes.\"
Ling Yi quickly retreated.
Xi Shiye's eyes were filled with scarlet blood and anger, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He asked, "Brother, what are you going to do?"
Half of Xi Shiyan's face was hidden in the shadows. The candlelight flickered, and a hint of coldness appeared on his fair jade face.
"Of course, we have to bring him back."
A dark emotion flashed in Xi Shiye's eyes, and he casually bowed, "If big brother has any instructions, I am willing to follow them."
Xi Shiyan knew that his second brother had never thought of giving up Ning Yu. He had been waiting for an opportunity to strike a sure blow and then drag the prey back to his own nest.
Xi Shiyan's gaze penetrated the window frame, deep and obscure. His hands fell to his waist, tightly gripping the half piece of mutton-fat jade pendant.
It seems like he wants to catch something in his palm.
As the night deepened, Ning Yu fell into a deep sleep.
Somehow, she dreamed that she was trapped in bed, with a thin chain around her wrist and the other end of the chain fastened to the head of the bed.
Ning Yu subconsciously raised her hand, making a tinkling sound, crisp and pleasant.
But when she heard it, she was terrified.
Got out of bed.
I walked outside, but found that the length of the chain could only support me to the door. It was extremely difficult to go out.
The door was suddenly pushed open.
A man in white walked in. He was handsome and gentle, his thin lips slightly parted. "Cousin, why don't you stay in bed?"
Ning Yu was a little confused and subconsciously shouted, "Cousin? You locked me in here?"
The man in white approached Ning Yu step by step without saying a word.
Ning Yu took a few steps back and somehow bumped into a strong embrace. A pair of hot hands clamped her waist, making her turn her head subconsciously.
All that was visible was the smooth lines of the jaw and a silver mask.
Ning Yu suddenly opened his eyes and saw that he was still at the Ning family. He felt inexplicably relieved.
The dream I just had was too scary.
It must be because I saw Xi Shiyan and Xi Shiye that I had this dream.
I just hope they leave Jiangnan as soon as possible.
But it would never be as Ning Yu wished.
Time flows like water, slowly passing by.
Ning Yu relaxed his guard a little when he didn't see the twins coming to his house.
That day, Ning's mother called Ning Yu over and asked her to dress up.
Ning Yu just remembered that her mother had invited Xu Danqing today.
Ning Yu didn't think much about it. He let Xuan'er dress up casually and left the yard.
Ning's mother looked Xu Danqing up and down. He had handsome eyes, well-shaped eyebrows, and fair skin. The smile on the corners of his lips deepened.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Ning Yu lingering not far away, refusing to come in.
She knew what she was thinking in her heart.
But now that the ideal son-in-law is right in front of her, she naturally has to let Yu'er take a look at him.
"Yu'er, come here quickly." Ning's mother waved to Ning Yu.
Ning Yu had no choice but to walk over and bowed to Ning's mother, somewhat reluctantly, "Hello, mother."
Xu Danqing was afraid of offending the beauty, so he didn't dare to look up, but just lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
In the corner of my eye, I could vaguely see a pair of shoes embroidered with pearls made of cream satin. The white and round pearls trembled, and the hem of the skirt stretched out as the woman saluted.
Ning Yu didn't want to disappoint Ning's mother. The fact that Ning's mother invited Xu Danqing to her home showed that her mother was very satisfied with him.
Ning Yu smiled politely at Xu Danqing and said, "Hello, Mr. Xu."
Xu Danqing was slightly stunned. He felt that the person in front of him was like a fairy in a painting, beautiful and graceful. A blush appeared on her fair face, and her voice was still calm.
"Meet Miss Ning."
At this moment, the servant outside the door suddenly ran over and said, "Madam, there are two young masters outside who claim to be from the Xi family. Come and see me."
Ning Yu's expression suddenly changed, and her tone became a little flustered. She wanted to say goodbye to Ning's mother, but she couldn't think of any reason.
Ning's mother was a little confused, but she still let the person in.
Ning Yu had no choice but to stay and keep his head down.
Two unhurried footsteps were heard beside her ears. Ning Yu did not dare to raise her eyes, and just hoped that Xi Shiyan and Xi Shiye would ignore her.
This idea just came to me.
She suddenly felt two equally burning gazes falling on her, as if trying to see through her clothes.
Xi Shiyan calmly withdrew his gaze, his face gentle and his voice soft, "I am the eldest son of the Xi family, Xi Shiyan."
After that, he introduced the identity of Shi Ye who was sitting next to him.
When Ning's mother heard the name, her brows immediately furrowed. She still remembered that Ning Yu said that her fiancé was indifferent to her and didn't care about her at all.
Ning's mother said indifferently, "What's the matter?"
Xi Shiyan noticed Ning's mother's expression and smiled calmly. It seemed that Ning Yu had often said bad things about him in front of Mrs. Ning.
Xi Shiyan didn't take it to heart and glanced at Xu Danqing lightly, revealing deep disdain and arrogance.
"Madam Ning, this matter is of great importance. It wouldn't be a good idea to have outsiders here, right?"
Xu Danqing's face changed slightly. As soon as the two men came in, he felt that their gazes were extremely uncomfortable.
I thought he had seen it wrong.
It seems that it is indeed targeting him.
It was not convenient for him to stay here now, so Xu Danqing had to say goodbye to Ning's mother with a stiff face.
Xi Shiyan then spoke slowly, his voice as gentle as the rippling of spring water, "Madam Ning, I have come here to ask you clearly what I have done. Why are you breaking off the engagement with me?"
Ning Yu lowered his head even deeper.
I feel inexplicably guilty.
When Ning's mother saw Ning Yu like this, she suddenly had an idea in her mind. Maybe what Yu'er said to her was half true and half false.
But since Yu'er said that, she naturally didn't want to marry Xi Shiyan.
Mother Ning said lightly, "I have made it clear in the letter that Yu'er is not the Ning family's biological daughter, and I don't want Yu'er to marry so far away, so let's call it quits."
Xi Shiyan's expression remained unchanged. He simply said, "Can I have a chat with my cousin?"
