When Qin Mama saw Xueqing return with light steps, she pulled her to the corridor and couldn't help but give her a few words of advice: "Young Master is, after all, half a master in this household. It's one thing for the young master to discipline him, but how can we make things difficult for him? If the madam holds a grudge later, it will be our young lady who suffers the consequences!"
Xueqing's face fell: "Granny, it's not that I'm deliberately making things difficult for him, but look at how unwilling he is. When you ask someone for a favor, you should have the right attitude!"
She bit her lip, somewhat indignant, "Besides, Miss has been working tirelessly for his family's trivial matters, so what's wrong with him suffering a little physical pain?"
After saying that, she turned and went back into the house.
Granny Qin opened her mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
That girl, she only said a few words to her, and she got all temperamental!
She didn't really resent Xueqing. No matter how bad Feng Zhiwen was, he was still the lady's nephew. It was okay for the young lady to discipline him, but she couldn't go too far. If she didn't grasp this balance, it would be bad if the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law developed a rift!
Hearing a noise behind her, Granny Qin turned around instinctively, a smile on her face: "Why did Miss come out?"
Shen Tangning smiled slightly: "Granny, there's no need to blame Xueqing. Her meaning is my meaning."
Her gaze swept across the courtyard, where the sun was blazing. Feng Zhiwen was kneeling on the scorching bluestone slabs; it must have been an unpleasant experience.
The hazy sunlight filtered through the flower branches, casting dappled shadows on her face. Her eyes were deep and her tone was casual: "Young people are often impetuous, and they always have to suffer some losses to learn their lesson. This is an inevitable part of growing up. Isn't Aci the same? I think my husband also thinks so."
As for her mother-in-law, if she truly hoped that Feng Zhiwen would succeed, she should understand their good intentions.
If you can't weigh the pros and cons...
"Oh dear, what happened? Who made the young master kneel in the courtyard?" Madam Chi, who rushed over upon hearing the news, looked shocked. "In this hot weather, what if he catches heatstroke?"
Ba Liang cleared his throat and whispered furtively, "Madam, this is the young master's intention."
Chi's mother paused for a moment, then her tone became cautious: "Has Zhiwen done something wrong?"
Ayan isn't the type to cause trouble indiscriminately.
Ba Liang's tone became increasingly cautious: "No, it's not that. The young master made a mistake that caused Master Feng to get into a lawsuit and also offended the young mistress."
"Ah!" Mother Chi clapped her hands, suddenly realizing, "Then he deserves to be punished!"
She turned and took two steps, then turned back, grabbed Ba Liang, and whispered a reminder, "Don't tell anyone I was here. Keep an eye on things. If he faints, call a doctor right away!"
She needs to find out what's going on from Ayan.
Eight ounces: "..."
It seems like I have some love for someone, but not much.
Shen Tangning watched Chi's mother's retreating figure, and the corners of her lips relaxed slightly.
Chi Yan and his mother are quite similar in temperament.
After noon, about an hour later, Shen Tangning asked Xueqing to call Feng Zhiwen in.
His face was pale, and his legs felt weak when he got up. He endured the pain and limped into the house.
Shen Tangning was sitting there, studying his face, and said softly, "Xueqing, bring the young master a cup of tea to cool him down."
Feng Zhiwen, forgetting to drink his tea, looked at her pleadingly: "Sister-in-law, can my cousin go and save my father?"
She paused, looking directly at him: "Even if you don't come here, Ayan won't stand idly by, because your father is his uncle. Do you know why he asked you to come here?"
Feng Zhiwen pursed his lips: "To avenge my cousin-in-law."
