The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 71

Seeing Ning Siyao's expression, Nianchun carefully spoke, "Madam, no need to worry. The fourth girl definitely won't be able to escape your calculations. This is all going according to plan, nothing will go wrong."

Ning Siyao listened to Nianchun's words and reluctantly shook her head, "For some reason, ever since seeing the fourth girl that day, I just felt something was different about her. I keep feeling that things aren't as simple as they seem to be."

When she thought of Su Qingyuan, she smiled in content. As long as she can help her daughter get rid of those blocking her path, she's happy.

Thinking about what she'd done today, she glanced to Nianchun with a smile, "You go and stay with Yuan'er tonight, I'm a bit worried something might happen to Yuan'er."

Nianchun looked to Ning Siyao and seriously nodded. Then, she turned and left Ning Siyao's yard.

When she turned, there was a faint smile showing on her lips.

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

Meanwhile, a second house servant girl told everything that happened all to Chai Yiyun. When she heard this news, she happily ate the prepared fruits, "That Ning Siyao sure is a ruthless character. In order to help Su Qingyuan clear away obstacles, she sure has exhausted her means."

"Madam, why do I feel that based on past incidences, the fourth miss will definitely still manage to escape this time." Meixue looked to Chai Yiyun and carefully analyzed all the recent events.

Judging on those past incidences, Su Qingyan certainly did manage to escape everything, but could Su Qingyan still be fortunate enough to escape it this time.

She didn't believe that Su Qingyan will be so lucky every time.

"No matter what, won't we know the answer after tonight?" Chai Yiyun looked to the fruits and said satisfied, "It's not like you don't know what kind of place that Yi Brothel is."

"Madam is right." Meixue looked to Chai Yiyun, once again replenishing the fruits.

"Meixue, do you also think the fourth girl has become different than before?" Chai Yiyun said as she placed down the fruit in hand.

Meixue looked to Chai Yiyun and nodded with a serious look, "Madam, it's easy to change the outside, but difficult to change one's nature. That's why the fourth miss is only putting up a strong front to show off. I refuse to believe the fourth miss really has become that impressive."

Chai Yiyun listened to her words and solemnly nodded, "You have a point, I don't believe the fourth girl can become that impressive either. After all, she was once that stupid."

Meixue looked to Chai Yiyun and nodded in agreement.

"That's right, remember to leak this matter to the old madam tomorrow morning. Let's see how the old madam will deal with it this time."

She glanced out to the sky that has yet to turn dark and smiled.

At the bottom of it, this Su Manor still isn't too stable. What kind of result it will be tomorrow, many still didn't know. But Chai Yiyun knew that tomorrow for Su Qingyan will be the end of the world.

And that was something she was delighted to see.

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

When granny Ruo walked into Yingshuang yard, she saw Su Qingyan swinging on the swing in the yard with Yaoyao in her arms. And she didn't know when, this yard had became filled with fiery red flowers.

"Miss, I heard that miss had just returned from Ganyun Temple, so I made some snacks miss liked and brought them for miss." Granny Ruo looked to Qingyan and said, not willing to miss a single expression on her face.

She knew that to her, tomorrow was going to be the end of the world.

Qingyan looked to granny Ruo and let out a gentle smile, "Thank you for the troubles, granny Ruo." She glanced to the side to Zizhu, "Zizhu, quickly take the food container from granny Ruo."

Zizhu accepted the food container smiling. Just, with lightning speed, Fengqing who was atop the tree switched the two containers. And granny Ruo simply didn't even notice this.

"Miss, granny Ruo's skills sure are good. It's your favorite red bean rice cake." Baizhi said with a smile as she opened the food container. "Miss, it'll still be a while before Huangcen finishes making dinner, do you want to eat some?"

Baizhi said as she placed a piece onto a small plate. Qingyan took the plate and said with a smile, "Granny Ruo's skills are still the same as before." She said as she began to eat.

Seeing Qingyan like that, granny Ruo thought that she still trusted her like before. She saw how happily Qingyan ate and nodded in agreement as well, "If miss likes it, then that's good. I'll still make them for miss next time."

But you already won't have a tomorrow.

Qingyan ate the cake while carrying a smile on her face, "Alright, naturally I'll wait for granny Ruo to make them for me. I remember when I was little, I liked the cakes granny Ruo made best."

Hearing Qingyan reminiscent about the past, granny Ruo also followed along and thought back to when Qingyan was little.

The Qingyan at that time listened to her every word, but now she was already no longer listening to this old woman's words. But since when did Su Qingyan stopped listening to her?

Seems it was it after she'd almost drowned? After she'd fallen into the water, Qingyan's temperament had changed drastically. Even daring to challenge the second house and third house. But now, wasn't she still going to lose at the hands of the second house.

When she thought of this, granny Ruo helplessly shook her head.

After all, she did watch her grow up, it was impossible to say that there was no feelings at all.

Qingyan looked to granny Ruo's expression and asked in a clear voice, "Granny Ruo, did you think of something? Why do you have such an expression, like you're enjoying the misfortunes of others?"

Hearing Qingyan's words, granny Ruo immediately shook her head, "Miss, you've misunderstood. Why would I make that kind of expression?"

Qingyan followed along her words and nodded, "You have a point, how could granny Ruo make an expression like that? After all, granny Ruo was even my wet nurse granny."

"That's why how could I harm miss."

Hearing granny Ruo say this, Qingyan smiled. That profoundly mysterious appearance made granny Ruo take a step back as she hears Qingyan's voice echo through her ears, "Granny Ruo, in the beginning, it was precisely because of your kindheartedness that my parents chose you to attend to me."

Granny Ruo looked to Qingyan and solemnly nodded, "That's right, that's right, Master and Madam both treated me very well. I've taken everything to heart, that's why I've also treated miss as if you were my own daughter."

"Oh!" Qingyan turned to granny Ruo, her voice abruptly turning cold. She walked up next to granny Ruo and asked in a cold voice, "Then why are you helping second aunt conspire against me?"

When granny Ruo heard Qingyan's words, her eyes widened in shock. Those muddy eyes fixedly stared at Qingyan, but she was unable to find the slightest emotion on Qingyan's face. She violently shook her head, "Miss, I've never betrayed you! Which lowlife slave is saying bad things about me in front of you?"

Qingyan crouched down and stared into granny Ruo with a grin, pointing to her own eyes, "I saw with my own eyes, granny Ruo entering Ning Siyao's yard."
