The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 55

When Qingyan returned to Yingshuang yard, it was already close to evening. But taking Chunyuan Princess's invitation into consideration, Qingyan ate dinner at Murong Jingxuan's manor before returning.

Not only did Murong Jingxuan personally send her back, he was quite persistent, as if worrying she would get hurt.

Seeing Qingyan enter the yard, Zizhu was the first to greet her, "Miss, I heard from Qingdai about your performance today."

Qingyan looked to her and let out a soft smile, "So, what do you think of your miss?"

"Miss naturally is the best." Baizhi said grinning, "I just know Miss is a sage in disguise."

Qingyan looked to them and brought them back into the room with her, "What kind of expressions did Ning Siyao and Chai Yiyun have when they returned?"

Huangcen stepped forward and spoke, "I heard from the other servants in the yard that Ning Siyao went to tearfully complain to the old madam as soon as she returned to the manor, even saying you bullied her."

Qingyan picked up the cup of tea before, "Tsk tsk tsk, second aunt really went to complain about me, but don't worry, this is exactly the result I wanted."

"Miss, did you really send the second madam flying with a kick in front of everyone today?" Lue looked to Qingyan and asked with a look of disbelief.

"Why would that not be true? That kick from miss was so satisfying. And that Chai Yiyun, really should have just killed her." Qingdai looked to them and replied with a serious tone, "You guys should have seen that pathetic look."

"Miss, is it really okay to burn the bridge with them like this? After all, madam and the others still haven't returned yet." Zizhu looked to Qingyan and asked with a concerned look, "What if the people of the second house and third house set out against us, what should we do?"

Qingyan scanned outside the window and listened to the cries of the songbirds, smiling, "Do you think that this room of mine, aside from you all, anyone else can come near? Even granny Ruo is no exception."

Qingday turned to Zizhu smiling, "Zizhu, you don't need to keep worrying. With us here to protect the miss, what's there to worry about?"

Zizhu saw their serious look, but she still was unable to be at ease, "Miss, I still can't stop worrying. How about I go check on when Madam and Master will return?"

Qingyan looked to her, shaking her head, "Don't worry, father and mother would always returns on time at the end of every year, there's no need to be concerned." She grasped Zizhu's hand and patted the back of her hand. "I know Zizhu is worried about me, but there's really no need to."

"I watched miss grow up, so naturally I will worry for miss's wellbeing." Zizhu helplessly shook her head, "But the miss now is no longer getting bullied by those people of the second and third house."

"Miss is really strong now." Baizhi said as she raised her thumb, "Not only impressive, but she can also protect us really well as well."

"Fengqing, there's something I need you to do for me." Qingyan dully called out to the air.

Like a phantom, Fengqing appeared on the window sill, "Master, what do you need?"

"I suppose, in the next two days it'll be Su manor's trip to Ganyun Temple. Tomorrow, I will head to Ganyun Temple alone, but I need to go in secret. On the way you just need to look after my wellbeing, that will suffice." Qingyan looked to Fengqing and casually spoke.

Although Fengqing really wanted to say that with miss's martial art skills, she practically didn't need their protection, but he didn't have the courage to say it.

"I understand."

"En."

Afterwards, after Qingyan finished preparing everything, she comfortably went to sleep. That night she slept very peacefully. It was the most peaceful sleep she's ever had since her rebirth.

----------------------------------

The morning of the next day, Qingyan woke up very early. Usually after the talent conference, the school went on break. And during this time, the Su manor would take a trip to Ganyun Temple to burn incense and pray to buddha. It was very normal for Ning Siyao to want to act during this time.

After grooming herself, Qingyan headed to the old madam's Meixiangyuan alone. As soon as she arrived there, she heard the wailing sound of crying. She didn't even need to think to know that it was Chai Yiyun and Ning Siyao's voice.

"Old madam, fourth miss is here." Yunxiang saw Qingyan walk in and smiled, "Fourth miss sure came at the right time, old madam still haven't had breakfast yet."

As if not seeing the other two in the yard, Qingyan walked directly to the old madam's main hall. She slowly bowed to Su Jiashi, "Yan'er is here to greet grandmother."

"Yan'er, about yesterday, is what your second aunt and third aunt saying true?" Su Jiashi narrowed her eyes at Qingyan. That stern look was just as Qingyan imagined.

"That's correct. But in the end, Qingyan didn't make Su manor lose face either, right?" Qingyan raised her head as she looked into the old madam's eyes, blankly replying.

"Yan'er, but they are still your elders after all. You shouldn't treat them like that." Su Jiashi helplessly spoke as she looked to Qingyan, "Go an apologize to your second and third aunt."

Qingyan smirked and looked to Su Jiashi, "Grandmother, do you also think Qingyan did wrong?"

When Su Jiashi turned to Qingyan, she still carried a stern look on her face, "You certainly did wrong, you should apologize to them."

Heh, Qingyan coldly snorted.

Su Jiashi, seeing Qingyan's appearance, immediately struck her cane once, "Ungrateful child, why haven't you knelt down and apologized to your second and third aunt yet?"

Qingyan looked to Su Jiashi with no intention of kneeling down, "Grandmother, Qingyan wasn't in the wrong, so I won't apologize."

"You ungrateful child, why does Su manor have someone like you!" Su Jiashi originally wanted to use her cane to hit Qingyan, but Qingyan cleanly avoided it.

In the next second, Qingyan appeared in front of Su Jiashi. And at once, she grabbed Su Jiashi by the throat. She looked Su Jiashi in the eyes, her tone suddenly turning cold, "Say it, just who are you? You're not grandmother."

Su Jiashi obviously didn't think Qingyan would try this. In the beginning, when she was asked to come, this wasn't what she was told. Right now, she could clearly feel her throat tightening. As if with just a bit of strength from Qingyan, she could meet buddha.

"Not saying huh! I don't mind sending you to buddha right now." That said, Qingyan once again tightened her grip. She turned behind her to Ning Siyao and Chai Yiyun, still with a ice cold tone, "Second aunt, third aunt, don't you think you should explain yourselves, where did the real grandmother go?"

Ning Siyao and Chai Yiyun looked to Qingyan, not understanding what she was saying, "Su Qingyan, what are you saying, the old madam before your eyes is clearly mother-in-law."

"Oh! Seems like you're in together on this?" Qingyan nonchalantly spoke, "Then it shouldn't be a problem if I kill this grandmother now then." As she spoke, she once again tightened her grip. Although Qingyan wasn't that strong, choking someone to death wasn't a problem.
