Chapter 877 Yuan'er, You Can Say It
Leng Man and her son went their separate ways and returned to their homes, ignoring each other.
Xu Yingyuan and others were at Zhuxianju, waiting for her mother's "triumphant" return.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, she happily went out to greet them and helped her mother to sit down.
"Congratulations, mother, for successfully holding back your temper."
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. For a mother to make it through the first time is a great success."
As she spoke, her mother looked unhappy. She appeared worried but smiled secretly.
"Why does mother look like this?"
"Could it be that you couldn't control your temper even once?"
Leng Man was still angry.
"Ning Jiewei went too far, your second brother is even more infuriating, and the master is also outrageous. I really can't help but be angry."
Xu Yingyuan was stunned and thought she had heard it wrong.
"How can this have anything to do with my father?"
"Ning Jiewei used the beauty trap and dared to alarm my father?"
Leng Man narrated what had just happened.
"I called the master..."
After she finished speaking, she complained angrily.
"The master is so indifferent and generous in forgiving Ning Jiewei. He believes that his Wei'er is not a person who would do anything wrong."
"He said it as if Ning Jiewei had no ulterior motives and had never abandoned their marriage. In fact, in my opinion, he is just greedy for beauty, just like his son."
Xu Yingyuan smiled awkwardly.
"Mother is confused. My second brother is not his son. He is your son."
Leng Man took a sip of tea and calmed down her anger a little.
"I was really pissed off by them."
"Hurry up and think of a solution for me. What should I do in this situation?"
Xu Yingyuan picked up the teapot and added tea for her mother.
"Mother, do you want to persuade father first, or my second brother first?"
With her beloved daughter by her side, Leng Man gradually calmed down.
"Master, according to the law, he has nothing to do with us. He is indeed Ning Jiewei's husband, so there is nothing wrong with helping her."
"It is not acceptable to take away another person's husband. We cannot act unjustly."
"Under the current circumstances, it is more important to persuade your second brother to come back."
Xu Yingyuan sighed worriedly.
"Alas, I thought my mother could control her temper, so I just focused on waiting for good news from her and didn't think about anything else."
"Unexpectedly, the incident happened so suddenly that I couldn't think of any good solution for a while."
Leng Man comforted her.
"I'm not in a hurry. Take your time to think about it."
Xu Yingyuan seemed to be thinking about something.
"I guess we can only come to a conclusion tomorrow."
Leng Man smiled and held her daughter's hands.
"Tomorrow is tomorrow. I'll wait for you."
"It's almost dinner time. How about we eat together?"
"What do you want to eat today? I'll tell the kitchen to make it."
The mother and daughter looked at each other, and Xu Yingyuan smiled back.
"I am going back to my home to meditate and not to have dinner with my mother."
Leng Man patted the back of her hand.
"Okay, go ahead."
"Whenever you need your mother, call me anytime."
Xu Yingyuan bowed.
"Mother, I'm leaving now."
After leaving Zhuxianju, Xu Yingyuan crossed a small bamboo forest, concealed her tracks, and quietly headed towards Yiliju.
Because she wanted to hide her tracks, she picked the lock and entered the residence through the back door without informing anyone.
After finding out where Ning Jiewei was, she walked to the dining room and knocked on the door three times.
She guessed that her father had probably not left, and sure enough, she heard her father's voice in the dining room.
"Who's knocking on the door?"
Xu Yingyuan answered.
"Reporting to father, it is the child who wants to see you."
Xu Mingqian's voice was obviously flustered.
"Yuan'er, please wait outside. You are not allowed to come in."
They had just gotten married and were in love all day long. Xu Yingyuan knew what was going on without having to guess.
She sneered silently and responded solemnly.
"My child obeys."
After a while, Xu Mingqian opened the door to the dining room.
"Come in."
Xu Yingyuan walked into the dining room and closed the door.
"Yes."
"I wish you the best of luck, Father and Aunt Ning."
As she knelt down, she glanced at the dining room. As expected, there were no waiters or maids in the room, only the couple.
After a glance, Ning Jiewei saw through Xu Yingyuan's thoughts and felt extremely ashamed. She hit the master's arm and blamed him softly.
"I told him to wait until nightfall, but the master refused to listen. Look, Yuan'er saw through him."
"It's so embarrassing."
Xu Mingqian didn't know how to reply, so he just held her hand as a comfort.
He looked at his beloved daughter with embarrassment.
"I will give you a seat if I am flat."
"Yuan'er, what is the purpose of your visit?"
Thinking her father might be jealous, Xu Yingyuan did not explain the reason, but instead made up a story.
"I miss Aunt Ning so much that I want to visit her and chat with her in the garden, so I've come to invite her."
Xu Mingqian bought an extra set of bowls and chopsticks for his beloved daughter.
"You came to see her to discuss the honey trap. You don't have to avoid me. Yuan'er, just go ahead and talk."
Xu Yingyuan acted puzzled and didn't reveal a single clue.
"Father, where did you get this from?"
"There is no such thing as a honey trap. Who did you listen to, father?"
Ning Jiewei said clearly.
"Just tell me, the master knows your plan."
Knowing that her father was testing her through Ning Jiewei's words, Xu Yingyuan continued to pretend to be ignorant.
"Why do you say that, Auntie?"
"Father, you can see clearly that I really don't know how to use the beauty trap. It's not my plan."
"I dare to speculate, could it be that my mother is jealous and is making up stories to frame Aunt Ning?"
"Father, please do not misunderstand Aunt Ning. I am willing to guarantee that Aunt Ning loves you and only you, and she has no other thoughts."
Ning Jiewei was both amused and confused.
"Why don't you understand? The master really knows the plan. I told him."
"Just tell me, you don't have to cover up for me."
The words were unexpected and Xu Yingyuan was stunned and confused.
"Ah? This..."
Xu Mingqian added.
"Don't worry, Yuan'er. I don't mind."
Xu Yingyuan felt it was magical and couldn't help laughing.
"Haha...hahaha...Father, you are so magnanimous. You are a role model for all men in the world."
Xu Mingqian sat upright with a solemn demeanor.
"Yuan'er, you are so kind."
"Husband and wife are equal, I respect all of Wei'er's decisions. It's just a honey trap, no big deal, I gladly accept it and face it calmly."
"Good boy, don't be afraid, just speak."
Ning Jiewei glanced at him sideways but didn't expose his lie.
Xu Yingyuan was unsure and asked Yu Ningjiewei.
"Can you really say that?"
Ning Jiewei nodded.
"Well, tell me."
Xu Yingyuan felt relieved and began to talk about the strategy.
"From what I can see, my second brother is already itching to get his heart out."
"Tomorrow, you will seduce him again, and make him lose control and do something inappropriate."
"I will attract your mother and make her angry so that she can fight with you. Remember, don't fight back and keep your pitiful image."
"Mother will naturally not spread the news of my second brother's evil deeds; but you can spread the news of my mother's immoral behavior."
"The mother was humiliated and had no way to defend herself. In addition, she was worried that her son would make mistakes and would not change despite repeated teachings. As a result, she must have decided to leave her father and pursue her own career."
Ning Jiewei disagreed.
"After all, she has lived here for more than 20 years. Just because of this, she may not be willing to leave."
Considering her father's presence, Xu Yingyuan gave Ning Jiewei some face and asked humbly.
"I have run out of ideas, what good ideas do you have, Auntie?"
Ning Jiewei thought about it for a moment, then quickly came up with an idea and told it in concise terms.
"Tomorrow, we will implement your plan first, and then, we will do this..."
After hearing this, Xu Yingyuan gave high praise out of politeness.
"Aunt's great idea."
After making a plan, she concealed her intention and asked about something that was of great concern to her.
"Excuse me, auntie, are there any outstanding men among the subjects of King Dijin who are worthy of entrusting one's life to? I would like to find a suitable husband for my friend."
