Chapter 130: Two Hundred and Fifty and Shit
Neither Shen Ning nor Shen Nian told Xie Yunqing what had just happened. After all, there was no need for a domineering fool like Xu Ying to be an eyesore in front of Xie Yunqing who was in poor health.
When Xie Yunqing saw Chen Ning, his sickly state immediately improved by a lot. After eating a few side dishes made by Chen Ning herself, he felt as if he had taken a magic medicine and his spirits were completely restored.
After dinner, Shen Ning took her pulse and confirmed that Xie Yunqing was only feeling uncomfortable due to the fatigue from the journey and the emotional fluctuations, and had no other symptoms. Only then did she feel relieved.
After taking the pulse, Xie Yunqing held Shen Ning's hand with eyes full of love that was about to overflow: "My Ning Ning is so capable, knows medicine, can do business, and cooks so deliciously... Mother is so happy to see you that she doesn't know what to do."
As she spoke, her eyes turned red again: "I'm so happy I'm afraid this is just a dream."
As she spoke, she asked the maid to bring out a wooden box: "Mother was so excited yesterday that she forgot to give you this."
The wooden box was opened, revealing three layers... Each layer contained several small golden locks, ranging from baby styles to those for children and then to those for young girls.
"Every year on your birthday, mother would make a longevity lock and offer it to the Bodhisattva for a hundred days, praying for the Bodhisattva to bless my daughter with a long life. Now, mother has found you. These are here every year from birth to sixteen years old."
Handing the box to Chen Ning, Xie Yunqing wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "When your birthday comes this year, I'll make you another one. You don't have to keep it as a sacrifice. I'll give it to Ning Ning."
Xie Yunqing was not a delicate person, otherwise she would not have taken away the third place winner in the imperial examination. But when she was in front of her daughter, she became like water, wanting to cry, wanting to laugh and cry at the same time.
Shen Ning and Shen Nian had to persuade her to rest, and then Shen Ning left the Xu family.
Shen Nian sent her out, but was called away by Xu Wanqing just halfway. Shen Ning met the eyes of Miss Xu from the Ge Lao Mansion and found that the other party was staring at her coldly with a very unfriendly expression.
Shen Ning couldn't remember when she had offended Miss Xu, whom she had only met once, but if she had offended her inadvertently, then she had offended her.
Maybe she is just like Xu Ying, and has problems of her own?
Shen Ning didn't take what happened at the Xu family to heart. After all, it wasn't the first time that Xu Ying went crazy. But what she didn't expect was that not long after she returned home, her blood brother Shen Chengxi suddenly came to her door.
Judging from what Shen Chengxi said when they first met, Shen Ning didn't think there was anything good about him coming to find her.
Sure enough, Shen Chengxi walked into the yard with a frown on her face. As soon as she saw Shen Ning, she snorted coldly and said directly: "Don't involve Nian Nian in your messy affairs with others in the future. Nian Nian is timid to begin with. As her sister, you don't know how to protect her and even cause trouble for her?"
Shen Ning sneered: “I don’t know where Mr. Shen got this from, how did I cause trouble for Shen Nian?”
Mr. Shen?
Shen Chengxi frowned and asked coldly: "Is this how you talk to your brother?"
Shen Ning said, "Brother, sister, respect. Mr. Shen's tone just now didn't sound like he was talking to me nicely, right?"
"Sharp-tongued and full of vulgarity."
Shen Chengxi's eyes were full of coldness: "No wonder you make enemies everywhere, and even caused Nian Nian to almost be beaten by Xu Ying."
Shen Ning smiled: "Mr. Shen doesn't have much of a market air, but he is a coward. His sister was almost beaten up, but instead of standing up for her and looking for the person who bullied her, he came to pick a fight with me. He is quite a bully."
Shen Chengxi's eyebrows jumped at the sarcastic smile on Shen Ning's face: "You don't reflect on your mistakes, and you are so rude to your elder brother. I was originally skeptical about what Miss Xu Ying said. Now it seems that with your personality, it's not surprising that you can do such shameless things."
Shen Ning tutted his words, "Mr. Shen, if you had any sense of shame, you wouldn't be so anxious to come here and act like your brother. After all, whether you are my brother or not is still unknown. It's not something a person with any sense of shame would do to rush here and act like a brother."
She figured it out. To deal with someone like Shen Chengxi, the main thing is not to get angry. The less angry you are and the more nonchalant your retort is, the angrier he will be.
It would be frustrating if you got angry after hearing a few words from him and followed his lead.
"Alright, Mr. Shen, stop putting on airs in front of me. If you like to listen to the gossips of those women in the backyard, you can go to the Qingfeng Teahouse and listen carefully to what those women in the backyard of Pingning are saying. July, see you off."
Shen Chengxi originally wanted to teach this newly found sister who was stained with rustic vulgarity a lesson, but he didn't expect that she would be so bold and rude and even dare to let people drive him away.
He didn't take the little girl seriously. With a cold look in his eyes, he said to Chen Ning, "If you don't control yourself and change your temper, when we return to the capital, I will ask my father to order you to be confined to the capital, so that you won't bring trouble to Nian Nian's reputation... Ah, put me down, let me go..."
Before Shen Chengxi could finish his words, Qi Yue grabbed him by the collar, lifted him up, and dragged him out.
"presumptuous!"
“Bold!”
"How shameful!"
Shen Chengxi threatened Qiyue as he used to scold his own servants: "Such a cunning slave, I will definitely sell you out later."
Before he could finish his words, he saw the little girl grinning at him, and then her body felt lighter... and then there was a bang.
Shen Chengxi was thrown directly into the street in the alley outside the door by Qi Yue. The neighbors around him stuck their heads out to look over here. He grappled and climbed up while gritting his teeth: "Vulgar and barbaric, unreasonable... Ah, what is this?"
Shen Chengxi was thrown out by Qi Yue casually. He got up and was about to scold her, but he was shocked to find that there was a black and gray thing on his cuff.
Is that...shit?
The noble young man was both angry and disgusted, and couldn't help but peek, looking very embarrassed.
The neighbors who were watching the excitement laughed softly.
"Dad just pooped there, and I saw Mrs. Zhou go home to get some things to clean up, so we don't have to clean up now."
“Did Madam Shen ask Qiyue to beat someone up?”
“I guess so. That man is not a good person at first glance. Even Madam Shen, who has a good temper, can’t stand it. It shows that he really deserves a beating.”
When Shen Chengxi heard the discussions, saw the closed courtyard door in front of him, and then looked at the large black and smelly mass on his sleeve, he was so angry that he trembled, gnashed his teeth, covered his waist, and turned away.
Wanqing was right. If a woman like this were brought back to Beijing, the Shen family would be completely disgraced!
Shen Chengxi was thrown out of the door. Qi Yue closed the gate, clapped her hands and walked back, saying crisply: "Miss, next time I see him, I will just throw him out, right?"
Shen Ning nodded: "Good idea."
Beside him, Mu Yao, who had been silently tending to the flowers and plants, glanced at Chen Ning and said softly, "Mr. Chen is too much. It was clearly someone else who caused the trouble, but instead of blaming the troublemaker, he blamed Ning Ning."
Qiyue became alert and said sourly, "How do you know it was someone else who caused the trouble? You say that without knowing anything. Tsk tsk."
Qiyue said to Shen Ning seriously: "Miss, she is hypocritical."
Mu Yao explained timidly, "Ningning never takes the initiative to cause trouble. It's obvious that it's not her fault. And since they went to the Xu family, it's obvious that the Xu family must be bad."
After saying that, Mu Yao looked at Chen Ning timidly: "Ning Ning, what I said is the truth, not hypocritical flattery."
As he spoke, his eyes turned red with anxiety.
Qiyue yelled angrily: "Look, Miss, I just said one thing to her and she's acting pitiful here. This is what you call a green tea girl, Miss."
Shen Ning had a headache.
As long as they get together with Mu Yao, the two of them will definitely have a few rounds of confrontation.
As expected, Mu Yao said with resentment, "If I were a green tea, I would have told Ning Ning when you watered my flowers last time. How could I have concealed it for you?"
Qiyue was furious: "You haven't said it yet!?"
Shen Ning looked up at the sky: "Hey, it looks like it's going to rain soon, I'll go put away the clothes..."
After saying that, he hurriedly left the battlefield.
