West Wind Sighs Works The Eldest Daughter Should Marry, First-Rate Young Master's Consort The Eldest Daughter Should Marry, First-Rate Young Master's Consort The Eldest Daughter Should Marry, First-Rate Young Master's Consort Volume 1 Chapter 060 Old Man Xia Unleashes His Fury

  Xia Lao Ye walked into the main hall with a puzzled face, feeling particularly perplexed in his heart. This daughter of his had always been straightforward and never pretended to be polite. What wind was blowing today that could make his daughter send her personal maid to invite him? This truly made him feel honored and surprised.

  Xia Lao Ye and Wan Yu stepped into the main hall, and Wan Yu, who had been following closely behind, quickly took a few steps back to stand behind Xia Ting.

  Mr. Li and Old Lady Xia felt a bad premonition rising in their hearts, but they didn't know what kind of idea Xiao Ting had in mind when she called for Old Master Xia to come over.

  After Old Man Xia came in, although he felt that both his mother and daughter-in-law didn't look too good, he didn't think much of it. Instead, with a smile all over his face, he looked at Xia Ting Cong and said: "Ting Cong, have the servants go invite your father over, is there something going on?"

  Could it be that Nian'er saw his recent kindness to Lan'er and finally agreed to put in a good word for him in front of the Crown Prince? Thinking of this, Xia Lao Ye's smile deepened even more. He knew that to win over his daughter, he still had to go through Lan'er. Looking at it now, his efforts over this period of time have indeed paid off.

  Xia Ting raised her head and glanced at the smiling Xia Lao Ye, coldly opening her mouth to break his beautiful fantasy "Don't think about anything good or bad, I didn't call you over for something good."

  Looking at his smiling face, it's clear what he's happy about. This cheap father has been reporting to the imperial court every day recently and is extremely obedient to her mother. Does he think she doesn't know his purpose? It's just that he wants her to help him with his official career.

  It wasn't until Rong Jin told her that she could arrange a higher official position for her cheap father that she realized Rong Jin's power in the court was not small. No wonder Old Lady Xia had been staring at her with eager eyes all along, it turned out that she had long known about Rong Jin's influence in the court and wanted to borrow his power to promote her son.

  Now that I think about it, if outsiders hadn't all thought that Rong Jin's body would never recover, who knows how many families would have hurried to marry their daughters off to him?

  Xia Ting's words were like a basin of cold water poured over Old Master Xia, drenching him to the bone.

  Looking at his daughter's gloomy face, Old Master Xia felt a sudden twitch in his eyelids and stammered, "W-what is it?"

  He thought he had been doing well recently and hadn't done anything to provoke his daughter.

  Xia Ting Cong Leng hummed and glanced at Old Lady Xia and Li Shi, "You should ask them about this."

  "Mother, what's going on?" Xia Lao Ye asked, turning his head to look at Xia Lao Fu Ren and Li Shi with a puzzled expression.

  Ning Er's face looked particularly bad, which gave him another very ominous premonition.

  Mrs. Xia's body stiffened, unable to utter a single word, as if she was expected to tell her son that she had rushed to catch the adulterer in order to blackmail the second daughter-in-law. But after failing to catch the adulterer, she ended up offending the Crown Prince Jing instead.

  The Li family's mouth was even tighter than anyone else's, and the old master had just been annoyed by her because of the betrothal gift last time, ordering her to be confined. If it weren't for the old lady's birthday needing her as the hostess to take care of things, she wouldn't have been released so quickly.

  If the old master knew that she was still making trouble and wouldn't stop, it would be even more likely that he would take the quiet king's son as a paramour. The old master might not know how to deal with her. Moreover, even the old lady had closed her mouth tightly, so she had no reason to speak out and seek death herself.

  Looking at Mrs. Xia and Li, both of whom had a gloomy expression, Mr. Xia's unease in his heart suddenly grew, and he hastily asked again, "Mother, you'd better speak quickly." Did she want to scare him to death?

  Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Li were both speechless, as if their mouths had been sealed with wax.

  Xia Lao Ye couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xia Ting Cong, hoping to get an answer from her.

  Xia Ting gazed at Xia Lao Furen and Li Shi with a sarcastic smile, her mouth tightly shut. These two useless people, how dare they do something but not acknowledge it? Where did their loud voices go earlier? Since neither of them dared to speak up, she would take the initiative instead.

  Xia Ting raised her head slightly, with a hint of brightness flowing in her eyes. "Today, Rong Jin came to see me after the morning court session and specially bought some pastries for me."

  Mr. Xia was taken aback, but then he quickly reacted and felt a surge of joy in his heart. This is indeed a great thing! The Crown Prince of Jing came to visit Cong'er personally and even bought pastries. Doesn't this clearly show that the other party holds Cong'er in high regard? His daughter hasn't even married into their family yet, but she's already receiving such treatment. After a few more months when she marries into their family, won't the Crown Prince of Jing be completely devoted to her? At that time, it will be extremely beneficial for him as his father-in-law. Mr. Xia immediately became immersed in his beautiful dream of promotion and wealth.

  Xia Ting looked at Xia Lao Ye with a face full of beauty and suddenly said, "What a pity that he was actually taken as an adulterer. He wants to drag me and someone else to soak in the pig cage."

  Xia Ting's words were like a cannonball exploding in Xia Lao Ye's ear, making him see stars and his voice involuntarily rose by eight degrees "Scoundrel? Which brainless fool dared to do such a thing?"

  Ning'er has already been betrothed to someone else, and the imperial edict has been issued. Before long, she will be married off. The Crown Prince of Jing came to take a look at his future wife, but was mistaken for an adulterer and almost dragged away to be thrown into a pig cage. Isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?

  "Who else could it be, apart from your mother and wife, who would dare to run to the side door and shout about catching an adulterer? And they even put on a righteous face, saying that as long as I do well for the Xia household, they won't pursue the matter of my private meeting with someone. Rong Jin was sitting in the carriage at the time, he heard every single word."

  Xia Lao Ye only felt his heart stop, his limbs turn cold and stiff, he turned his head to look at Li Shi and Xia Lao Fu Ren, staring straight ahead and saying "You... you..."

  This is simply a bolt from the blue, a beautiful dream quickly turning into a nightmare. His mother and wife actually dared to say such things in front of people, let alone that Jing'er had not had an affair with anyone, even if she really had had an affair, they couldn't just rush out the door shouting about catching someone in the act. Do they understand what it means to keep family scandals private? When others encounter this kind of thing, they're afraid they can't even hide it quickly enough, who would dare make a scene outside?

  And what's the meaning of not investigating Xinger's private meetings with others? Isn't this clearly telling King Jing's son that if Xinger really has a private affair today, as long as she is willing to help the Xia family gain benefits, the Xia family will cover up for her and deceive the King Jing's family.

  His mother and wife have actually done such a foolish thing, isn't this going to completely ruin his career?

  Old Lady Xia is now like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, standing upright with a stubborn look. Even if these two girls speak out, what's the big deal? She is Yu'er's biological mother, she doesn't believe her son would be so ungrateful and disobedient as to accuse her.

  Li's demeanor softened, and she shrank back slightly, hiding behind Old Lady Xia.

  Xia Lao Ye was so angry that his head almost smoked, with the word "filial piety" on his mind, he had a thousand dissatisfactions but couldn't do anything to his own mother, but scolding his wife should be okay.

  Xia Lao Ye kicked Li Shi angrily and hastily, kicking him to the ground. Li Shi could only cover his foot and cry out in pain.

  Xia Lao Ye still felt unsatisfied, and in his heart, a fierce fire was burning fiercely, and he continued to kick again with all his might.

  Mr. Li was in so much pain that he fell to the ground, shouting loudly "Master, I dare not, I will never dare again. Please stop beating me."

  These two kicks almost took her life, she had been pampered since childhood and after marrying in, it was also fine clothes and food. So many years, the old master had never laid hands on her. Today, however, he kicked twice, showing that he was furious.

  Old Master Xia said in a hateful tone, "You still have the face to say that. I shouldn't have let you out last time. It's only been a few days since it was quiet again, and now you're making trouble again. I think you won't stop until I lose my official position, right? How did I end up marrying such a foolish woman like you?"

  This Prince Jing has always been openly fond of Ning Er, but today he came over and caused such a commotion. At this moment, he only feels that his future is bleak and hopeless. It's all because of these two foolish people.

  Li was so scared that she fell to the ground and cried, now she is extremely afraid, fearing that Master Li would get angry and send her back to her parents' home.

  The servants standing outside did not dare to make a sound, and no one dared to come in and help Li up, fearing that the master would get angry and kick them.

  Xia Lao stood beside, the more she listened, the darker her face became. She finally couldn't help but speak up, "Yu'er, that's enough! She is your legitimate wife and Yu'er's mother after all. You're being too harsh, if this gets out, it won't sound good."

  She wasn't overly concerned about this daughter-in-law, but rather had some resentment. After all, if it weren't for her, there wouldn't be today's trouble. Without asking anything clearly, she dared to rush over and find her. Now that something has gone wrong, she still has to consider her son's feelings.

  But this daughter-in-law was still the one who had taken charge of marrying her son back, and now her son said such a thing, wasn't it a loss of face for her in front of the servants? She naturally wanted to speak up to defend herself.

  And she always felt that her son's words just now were all venomous, and while scolding her daughter-in-law, she was afraid that she would also be implicated.

  As soon as Old Lady Xia thought of this, she felt unhappy in her heart. This unfilial son, she did all these things for him and the Xia family, not to mention that he didn't appreciate his own mother, but actually dared to turn his face against her.

  After hearing what Old Lady Xia said, Old Man Xia's face suddenly turned gloomy and he fiercely swung his sleeve. "She has done such a foolish thing, how can I not scold her? If it weren't for the fact that she is Yu'er's mother, I would have given her a divorce letter long ago. This time, if I don't discipline her properly, I will eventually be harmed and lose my official position."

  He was almost suffocated by his own mother, and yet she still didn't know how to repent. Did she even realize what kind of foolish thing she had done today? She actually threatened Jing'er in front of the Crown Prince, and anyone with eyes could see that Jing'er and the Xia family were at odds. How would he be able to rely on this future son-in-law in court from now on? Today's events could be considered as his own failure to manage his household properly, and depending on how much the other side doted on their daughter, he might even lose his official position because of it. Who told her mother to dare say such foolish words?

  Ning Er's temperament, he as a father is very clear. His daughter has never gotten along with him since she was young, and all these years it was Lan Er who mediated between them, so she would still be polite to him. But this time, his mother and wife threatened him in front of everyone, if he really faces the consequences of losing his official position, it's strange that his daughter would plead for him, instead of adding insult to injury by stepping on him a few more times, he'd already be grateful.

  Just thinking about this made Old Master Xia even more resentful of Madame Xia and Li Shi.

  After hearing Mr. Xia's words, Mrs. Xia's face also stiffened. If her son really lost his official position, she wouldn't have a good life either. Her lips moved slightly, and in the end, she could only say with a choked neck, "Then let Er Ya go to the Crown Prince of Jing and say a few good words, so that he can forget today's affairs. What kind of reason is there for pursuing one's own family?" By the time she finished speaking, her tone was even more insufficient.

  She had just threatened those two maids, making it clear that she didn't consider them her own people. Moreover, the quiet king's son had heard it, so how could he still consider himself one of his own? Those two maids weren't easy to get along with either, and now they wouldn't be willing to help her. Now all she could hope for was that her son would show some paternal authority and make those two maids submit.

  Xia Lao Ye was so angry that his chest hurt. Jing Er had never taken him seriously as a father, how could she listen to him now? Besides, today's trouble wasn't even caused by the two of them, yet they were the ones who had to clean up the mess. What kind of family members are these? If they were really family members, why didn't they take care of things earlier? Now saying such things would only make people laugh at them.

  If it weren't for the fact that she was his own mother, he wouldn't have been able to endure until now. He would have blown up in anger early on, just thinking about it makes him furious. But since she is indeed his own mother, he can only try his best to suppress the flames of rage burning within him, almost to the point of choking himself internally.

  Xia Lao Ye was reluctant, but he knew that under the current circumstances, it would be best to let his daughter go and have a few words with Jing Wang's son. After all, this future son-in-law was only trying to make things right for Ning Er, so it would be better if she went to talk to him. Otherwise, he might end up being driven mad by these two women in the house.

  Xia Lao Ye took a deep breath, turned his head and smiled at Xia Ting Cong: "Ting Cong, look at today's affairs..."

  He can only carefully put on a smiling face now, hoping that his daughter will see him as her father and let the matter pass.

  Xia Ting Cong had been sitting in his seat with a cold eye watching the play since just now, and it was fortunate that Father had finally done something like a man and knew how to exert his authority.

  She heard the flattering tone in Old Man Xia's words and revealed a profound and mysterious smile, "Want me to say a few good words to Rong Jin, so he won't pursue today's matter anymore." Although the words were phrased as a question, Xia Lian used a affirmative tone, clearly very aware of what was on Old Man Xia's mind.

  Xia Lao Ye's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this, and he nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes." As long as his daughter was willing to go and say a few words to persuade the Crown Prince of Jing not to pursue the matter further, then he wouldn't have to worry about losing his official position anymore.

  Xia Ting's faint smile "That's not impossible, but what conditions will you use to exchange?" She was a businesswoman who never made a loss-making deal.

  Xia Lao Ye was taken aback. Why did he feel that his daughter's smile was so chilling? He slightly shrunk his neck and said, "T-then what do you want as an exchange condition?"

  What else could be the condition that made him vomit blood, otherwise he really had the heart to die.

  Looking at Xia Lao Ye's cautious and prudent appearance, Xia Ting lightly blinked her eyes, and her gaze flowed "Don't worry, it's not a difficult request. I just want you to restrict your wife and your legitimate wife's feet, letting them stay in their own quarters from now on and not allowing them to come out."

  These two aren't fond of making trouble, are they? Since they're so afraid the world won't be chaotic enough. Then she sealed their actions, letting them spend the rest of their lives quietly staying in their own homes.

  "This..." Old Master Xia was somewhat embarrassed and hesitant, as long as it was to forbid his wife Li's foot binding, he would of course be happy to comply. But his daughter wanted to forbid even her mother's foot binding, which didn't seem quite right.

  "Old Lady Xia immediately followed up with a loud voice 'You ungrateful rascal, how dare you restrict my movements? I am your grandmother.'"

  And then she said that from now on, she would never be allowed to come out again. Isn't this just wanting her to spend the rest of her life in her own room? She would never agree to such a request.

  Li heard Xia Ting's words and, enduring the pain on her body, turned around with difficulty and grabbed Xia Lao Ye's pants leg, shouting "Master, you absolutely cannot agree to her, I don't want to be confined!"

  She's only in her thirties, with a whole life ahead of her. If she were to be confined for the rest of her life, wouldn't that mean she'd have to stay in Qinghuatang until old age? This damned little wretch actually came up with such a vicious plan to deal with her.

  Xia Ting's eyes flashed with a cold glint as she gazed at Old Lady Xia, her cherry lips slightly parted. "What can you do to stop me? Do you think you still have the qualifications to haggle with me now? Grandmother? When I acknowledge it, you are; when I don't acknowledge it, you're nothing."

  Mrs. Xia was so shocked that she didn't know what to say for a long time. This dead girl was threatening her, but she couldn't refute it, because the other party had evidence of Lian'er's misdeeds in their hands, and she couldn't fight back at all, nor did she have any bargaining chips to negotiate with the opponent.

  "Xia Lao Ye hesitated and said, 'Ning Er, this...this isn't quite right, is it?' He still had some doubts about forbidding his mother from seeing her daughter."

  Mrs. Xia looked at Mr. Xia's hesitant appearance and suddenly felt confident, continuing to shout "I am the birth mother of Yu'er, if he dares to stop me, that would be unfilial. You can't expect him to listen to you." Anyway, she thought her son wouldn't do such a thing.

  Xia Ting glanced at Old Lady Xia with a mixture of disdain and mockery, then turned her head to look at Old Master Xia and said, "If you don't discipline them, then from now on, you can just stay home and teach them some rules, so they won't be as rude as they were today in front of others."

  Her underlying consciousness is very obvious, and it's inevitable that they will make good preparations for her to lose her official position.

  Mrs. Xia and Mr. Xia obviously understood too, but just as they didn't know how to react, Xia Ting suddenly stood up from her seat and left a few words saying "It's entirely up to you to decide what to do, it's just unknown whether you can adapt to those bitter days of only being able to eat plain food once you lose your official position."

  Having said that, Xia Tingjing took Wan Yu and left without looking back.

  Only the three people in the main hall were left with a stiff face, and after a long time, Old Master Xia finally made up his mind and said, "Mother, you will stay in Chunxi Residence from now on to enjoy your later years."

  He had barely managed to rise to his current rank of Zheng Si Pin, if he were to lose his official position because of today's events, then he would have nothing left. It was better to restrict their movements now and avoid any future troubles.

  Old Lady Xia glared with wide eyes and shouted loudly, "What? You this unfilial son, actually really want to listen to that unfilial grandson's words and restrict my freedom. This is a great irreverence."

  Nourishing her in her old age? That's just a nice thing to say, but in reality, she'll still be placed under house arrest.

  "Today's trouble is all caused by you and your good son-in-law, if the son really loses his official position, there will be no money or power. Are you really willing to marry a poor life with coarse tea and plain rice? It's better to stay in Chunxi House, at least you can have enough food and clothing, think about it carefully."

  After saying these words, Old Master Xia turned his head to look at Li Shi who was kowtowing on the ground and said coldly "You also go back to Qinghua Hall from now on, you are not allowed to take half a step out of there again."

  As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the hall, leaving behind two women who stood there like wooden chickens.

  The next day, the news that Li and Old Lady Xia were under house arrest reached Xia Ting's ears. Of course, Old Lady Xia was outwardly claiming to be in poor health and wanted to spend her remaining years in seclusion at Chunxi Residence.

  Xia Ting listened quietly and only smiled calmly, she had expected this result a long time ago. Her cheap father was always thinking about flying high and getting rich, now with these two big obstacles blocking his way to success, he wouldn't move them away?

  Now that the two of them have been banned, her ears can finally calm down. After a few more months when she gets married and leaves home, she won't have to worry too much about her mother and younger brother anymore.

  Lan courtyard, Lin Yiniang was sitting at a table with Xia Qinghe, chatting.

  Lin Yiniang wore a plain and unassuming outfit, with only a light dusting of powder on her delicate face, looking harmless no matter how you looked at her.

  "Mother-in-law, I really didn't expect that second sister would have such great ability, and Father has confined both Grandmother and Mother."

  They also just learned the news this morning, although they said that Mrs. Xia was staying in Chunxi House to recuperate her body, but who doesn't know that this is actually a disguised house arrest, it's just that the surface sounds better.

  Lin Yiniang gently fiddled with the teacups on the table, smiling at her daughter. "Ever since Old Madam and Madame Wang couldn't get anything out of Second Miss twice or thrice, I knew those two weren't her match. If she still insists on being stubborn, sooner or later she'll fall into someone's hands."

  If it weren't for the old lady and her excessive pride, not knowing how to adapt to changing circumstances, they would have thought that a concubine-born daughter couldn't stir up any waves. Now she's been utterly defeated and has fallen into others' hands.

  "So that's why Auntie asked me to go to the Pear Courtyard last time, and tell her about what Grandmother and Mother said about Second Sister?"

  Lin's aunt smiled and nodded, "That's right. The reason I did that was because with Second Miss's intelligence, even if no one reminded her, she might not have been able to avoid it that day. Since that's the case, it's better for you to do a good deed for her. This way, in the future if we need her help, she'll remember your kindness and won't decline."

  Xia Qinghe nodded slightly and asked again, "What if I reminded her, but she still couldn't avoid it?"

  Isn't that a waste of effort? Can Auntie be so sure that the other party will definitely avoid Grandma and Mother's calculations without any mistakes?

  Lin Yiniang took a sip of tea, and a calculating glint flashed in her eyes. "Even if she didn't hide it, we still got a sum of silver, didn't we?"

  Xia Qinghe suddenly understood and couldn't help but nod secretly in her heart, originally no matter what the final result was, it was beneficial and harmless to both her and her aunt.

  Xia Qinghe couldn't help but praise her, saying "Auntie, you're really amazing."

  "Qing'er, now that the old madam and madam are under house arrest, they won't be able to turn things around. From now on, it's just Li Yuan who holds power in this household. Before the second miss gets married, you should go visit her often and get close to her. You know she's going to marry into the Jing Wang Fu, and although the young master is a sickly person, he still dotes on the second miss. If you can win her over and make her treat you like a sister, then in the future if there are any good opportunities, they'll all be connected to you. When it's time for festivals and banquets, she can also bring you along, and by then, you'll have more chances to marry a good husband."

  The second young lady has already completely fallen out with the old lady and the madam, and even the eldest sister and the fifth sister are the same. After she marries into the Jing Wang Fu in the future, if there is anything good, it will not be given to Xia Lian and Xia Rong's two sisters. This old lady and madam are stupid, always thinking of thoroughly controlling others, which would provoke such a big counterattack. If they had spoken kindly at the beginning, the second young lady might have helped the Xia family. But this is also good, it gave her Qing Er an opportunity. As long as Qing Er has a good relationship with the other party, in the future if there is anything good, the first person to think of will naturally be their own daughter.

  Xia Qinghe nodded solemnly, knowing that her aunt was saying all this for her own good. Moreover, she also knew that the Jing Wang Fu was not just an ordinary noble family, and if she could really climb up to a young master at the banquet, then she would truly be considered to have climbed high.

  Lin Yiniang continued, "After she gets married, you should still go to the Pear Courtyard as usual. I think that Shui Yiniang has a soft temperament and is easy to manipulate. If you can coax her into treating you like a daughter, then your position in Er Xiaojie's heart will be even more exceptional."

  Xia Qinghe nodded and responded with a sound, remembering all of Lin Niang's instructions in her heart.

  Lin's wife sighed and said, "To say that Second Miss's fate is good, but also bad."

  The good thing is that she met someone who was willing to marry her, a concubine-born daughter, and he's even a noble prince. The bad thing is that this good husband won't live long, and when the time comes, she'll be left a young widow.

  More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

  Early in the morning, one after another unassuming horse-drawn carriages quietly drove to the side gate of Xia's mansion. Several stout men and a middle-aged man got off from above. Under the command of the middle-aged man, those men quickly lifted down the large trunks on the carriage and were about to walk into the side gate of Xia's mansion.

  The gatekeeper was about to scold him, but saw the middle-aged man walking over with a smile and said, "Don't be annoyed, young man. We are all following the orders of Miss Summer's second daughter, delivering these things to the Pear Courtyard."

  Having said that, he reached into his wide sleeve and pulled out a pouch, handing it over.

  The little gatekeeper heard that these people were all ordered by the second young lady, and also gave a heavy purse, so he hurriedly smiled "So it was like this, then please go inside, walk straight from here and turn right to reach the Pear Courtyard."

  It seems that all these people were invited by the second young lady. Fortunately, he hasn't spoken out of turn and offended anyone yet, otherwise, they would have had to leave with their tails between their legs.

  The middle-aged man smiled very politely, nodded and then gestured for the strong men carrying large boxes behind him to follow him.

  After this group of people went in, the little gatekeeper was delighted to count the silver coins. Before he finished counting, another group of people came from outside. Similarly, they also moved down large trunks one by one from the carriage and were about to enter the side door of Xia's mansion.

  The little gatekeeper hastily flashed out, and before he could speak, another package was handed over to him. The leader said, "Young man, we are here at the behest of Miss Xiafu's second daughter to deliver something. Could you please tell us how to get to Litchi Courtyard?"

  The little gatekeeper took over the package in a daze and repeated subconsciously, "Go straight from here and turn right."

  The leader thanked and then led the people in directly.

  The little gatekeeper shook his head and woke up, why are there so many people looking for the second lady? He looked at the heavy purse in his hand again, and immediately threw away other thoughts, happily counting the silver coins again.

  In the Li courtyard, Shui Shi was having breakfast with Xia Yun in a side room when suddenly a maid came in to report that someone had brought in many trunks.

  Shui's family was taken aback and quickly put down his chopsticks, saying "What's going on here?"

  The maid shook her head "I'm also unclear, madam, you'd better go out and take a look."

  Shui nodded and ordered the maid to hurry up and invite his daughter Xia Tingting, then got up and brought Xia Ziyun to the main hall. There were about fifty large boxes in the hall, with two middle-aged men waiting inside, dressed in business attire.

  Shui took Xia Zi Yun and walked in with her head held high, sitting down at the upper seat in the hall.

  Two middle-aged men hastily bowed and said, "Madam, young master."

  This made Mr. Shui even more bewildered, and he hastily waved his hand, saying "You two are too polite, please sit down and have some tea."

  "Thank you, madam." The two of them again simultaneously returned a courtesy.

  Mr. Shui looked at the two sitting people and carefully opened his mouth, "I don't know if you two came here today, is there something?"

  Carrying so many boxes here, I don't know what you want to do either.

  A middle-aged man sitting in the front row smiled and replied, "Back to Madam, we are all ordered by Miss to deliver these things." This is Miss's mother, he should be more respectful.

  Shui's family was stunned. Miss? Could it be that you're referring to Ning'er? Just as she wanted to ask for clarification, she saw her daughter already walking towards the main hall with Wan Yu.

  Digression

  Everyone, still short of 2,000 words, just take a look at it first, cut and go back to writing, tomorrow we'll post it together. Calculating, Cutie owes everyone 7,000 words. The feeling of owing debt is really not good. Tonight, I'll stay up all night, and tomorrow I'll continue with another 8,000 words.
