Chapter 555 Is this a false pretense?

Time flies, and Ning Yunxi is four years old and moves into Penglai Residence.

Qiu Bi came happily with a box of osmanthus candy.

"Girl, the eldest master sent a box of snacks over. They are fragrant and sweet. Please open them and have a taste."

Ning Yunxi sat on a bench, feeling depressed.

"I do not want to eat."

When she woke up in the morning, she saw that the girl was unhappy. Qiu Bi thought that the girl would be happy after receiving the gift from the eldest master, but she didn't expect that she was still frowning. She couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"This is sent by the eldest master, how can the girl not want to eat it?"

Ning Yunxi's small hands grasped the silk handkerchief, almost tearing it apart.

"I haven't seen him for a long time. I miss him. I don't want snacks. I want my big brother."

Upon hearing the reason, Qiu Bi was immediately in trouble.

"The eldest son has something to do and cannot come back for the time being."

Ning Yunxi was so sad that she wanted to cry.

"I know."

Qiu Bi comforted her in a soft voice.

"Don't worry young lady, the eldest master will come to see you as soon as he returns home."

Ning Yunxi was a little annoyed and threw the handkerchief away.

"So when will he return home?"

Qiu Bi's smile fell, and she and the girl became sad.

"This slave doesn't know."

A burst of sweet osmanthus fragrance suddenly entered Ning Yunxi's nose.

She rubbed her nose and her mood improved slightly.

"It seems... it is indeed sweet."

Hearing this, Qiu Bi smiled again.

"Girl, want to try it?"

Ning Yunxi smiled and nodded.

"Ah."

Qiu Bi opened the snack box.

"Huh? There's a note in the box."

She handed it over with both hands.

"Girl, please look."

Ning Yunxi took it and took a look, feeling both pleasantly surprised and delighted.

"Big brother said he will return home today."

Qiu Bi smiled happily.

"Excellent, excellent."

"Now, can the girl be happy?"

Ning Yunxi was delighted.

"Well, I'm glad he's back."

She moved slightly to make room for the seat next to her.

"Please sit down and let's taste it together."

Qiu Bi was overjoyed and sat down as she was told.

"Thank you girl."

Ning Yunxi picked up a piece of osmanthus candy and was about to put it in her mouth when she heard the voices of maids talking outside the window.

It was still early, and the maid Bian Wanlu had nothing to do, so she strolled around and chatted about family matters.

"The eldest master loves the third young lady very much. I heard that he sends snacks to her every day. He is worried that the third young lady will be lonely living alone."

The maid Cheng Yi retorted with a wry smile.

"The eldest son's treatment of the third lady is all insincere."

Bian Wanlu asked in confusion.

"Hmm? Why are you being so hypocritical?"

Cheng Yi answered generously.

"Yes, for some future plan, I need to stabilize the Third Miss's heart before I can use her as I please."

Bian Wanlu didn't believe it.

"It's just hearsay, maybe it's false."

Cheng Yi was very confident and didn't feel guilty at all about lying.

"I didn't hear this from hearsay, but it was said by the eldest master himself."

"The eldest son was at Wangyouju, chatting with my aunt. My aunt asked him why he cared so much about the third young lady, and he told her the truth..."

Bian Wanlu was suddenly startled.

"Hush, be careful what you say and do."

"This seems to be under the window of Penglai Residence."

Cheng Yi took it calmly and didn't care at all.

"Are you afraid that the third girl will hear it?"

"It's not even 7:00 yet, she's probably still fast asleep."

"Even if she heard it, she is still so young, how could she understand it? It goes in one ear and out the other, and she won't take it to heart."

Bian Wanlu was still frightened.

"I hope so."

The osmanthus candy slipped out of her hand and fell back into the box. Ning Yunxi's mouth corners turned down and she cried sadly.

"Big brother, is this true? Tell Aunt Liu?"

Qiu Bi put down the snacks and comforted her in a gentle voice.

"The maid's gossip is all over my head, so you don't need to care about it, young lady."

"I can see with my own eyes that the young master is definitely not being false to you."

Ning Yunxi sobbed and cried uncontrollably.

"Then why did he tell Aunt Liu like this?"

Qiu Bi was completely confused and didn't know what was going on.

"This slave is stupid."

"Why not wait until he comes back and ask him directly?"

Ning Yunxi nodded.

"okay."

Qiu Bi picked up the box and placed it in front of her.

"Girl, don't you want to eat?"

Ning Yunxi frowned and shed tears, looking sad.

"Not in the mood to eat."

Qiu Bi comforted and coaxed her.

“Very delicious.”

Feeling sad at the sight, Ning Yunxi turned her eyes away and no longer looked at Osmanthus Tang.

"you eat."

Ning Xuanfeng roared loudly and came towards him menacingly.

"No one is allowed to eat!"

After he finished speaking, he walked into Penglai Residence with a dozen servants in a menacing manner.

Qiu Bi stood up respectfully and bowed quietly.

Ning Xuanfeng looked down on everyone and asked the question arrogantly.

"I heard that my brother bought some snacks and was sent to Penglai Residence."

"Where are the snacks?"

Qiu Bi held the snack box in her arms and protected it carefully.

"What does the Second Young Master want to do?"

Ning Xuanfeng glanced away with a fierce look.

"Is it your turn as a maid to interfere in what this young master wants to do?"

He took two steps closer and glanced down.

“It turned out to be osmanthus candy.”

"My brother knows that I love sweet-scented osmanthus candy the most, so this is a gift for me."

He reached out and ordered coldly.

"Give me."

Qiu Bi took two steps back, put up her guard, and hugged him tighter.

"How can the second young master snatch my girl's things?"

Ning Xuanfeng snatched the snack box without saying a word and kicked it away.

"How dare you, a mere maid, question me? You are disrespectful to your master. Come, beat me."

Seeing this, Ning Yunxi stepped in front of Qiu Bi in time and took the kick for her. Both the master and servant fell to the ground.

"Second brother, please slow down."

"Qiu Bi is my maid, you can't beat or scold her at will."

Ning Xuanfeng is arrogant, overbearing and unscrupulous.

"I'll beat you too, what can you do to me?"

"Someone, do it."

The servants followed the order and surrounded Ning Yunxi and his servants.

At the critical moment, Ning Fengzhe appeared.

"Everyone stop it."

Ning Xuanfeng was shocked in disbelief when he heard the voice.

"elder brother?"

"Didn't you send a message saying you would be back home in the afternoon? How come you're back so soon?"

Ning Fengzhe felt distressed when Xier suffered. He was furious and glared at Ning Xuanfeng.

"Do I need to explain to you when I will return home?"

"Questioning my brother is a betrayal of filial piety. If I report this to Yin Sitai, you will be punished with at least ten strokes of the cane."

"Why? Second brother, you really want to taste the sweet-scented osmanthus candy? Why not bring some snacks with you to Yinsitai to taste it, so that you can receive the ten strokes of the cane sweetly."

Ning Xuanfeng was horrified and immediately showed weakness.

"Why should family affairs be handled publicly? I won't dare to do it again."

Ning Fengzhe's eyes were filled with sinister intent.

"Then why are you still staying here? Are you waiting for me to see you off?"

Ning Xuanfeng was so frightened that he lost his way and accidentally bumped into the beam.

"No, no, no, brother, please stay. I'm leaving."

Not daring to speak, he fled with his servants.

Ning Fengzhe walked over quickly and carefully helped his sister up.

"Xi'er, are you okay?"

Knowing that the girl always reported good news but not bad news, Qiu Bi answered for her.

"Reporting to the eldest master, the girl was kicked and may be injured."

Ning Fengzhe's eyes showed worry and he felt even more distressed.

"Where is the injury? Would it be convenient for me to check it? I'll go and call the doctor."

Ning Yunxi stretched out his arms to stop him.

"I'm not hurt, it doesn't hurt."

Ning Fengzhe gave careful instructions.

"Don't cry and bear it."

Ning Yunxi supported her brother through her sleeve and sat down together.

"It's really okay."

"Big brother, I want to ask, are you being nice to me all false?"
