The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 99

Su Qingcong looked to Qingyan and let out a warm smile, "Fourth sister, you're so nice to me."

Qingyan looked to Qingcong also with a smile. When she looked up to everyone, she spoke with a smile, "Father, mother, go ahead and eat." She attentively placed all the things Qingcong liked into his bowl.

Murong Jingxuan didn't know why he felt a motherly glow coming from Qingyan. He knew he shouldn't be getting this kind of feeling from a young girl like her, but the girl in front of him unwittingly made him feel that way, like it was impossible to get rid of this feeling.

"I really didn't expect that Yan'er would be taken care of by Deng yiniang this whole time." Luo Bing looked to Deng Yan with a smile on her face. She'd always felt that there was a reason why Qingyan liked Su Qingcong, and that reason was most likely because Deng Yan had been looking after Qingyan.

"That's right, mother." Qingyan said with a smile, "Deng yiniang treats me really well, just like her own daughter. When second aunt and third aunt are mean to me, it's always Deng yiniang that shields me."

Deng Yan never thought that Qingyan would describe their relationship as such. She'd always assumed that Qingyan regarded her as an ally. Yet, she'd never thought that Qingyan had taken so much into consideration for her.

When she thought of this, Deng Yan lifted her head towards Luo Bing and Su Yun with a smile, "There's not much I can do. I'm only a concubine, I can't give the fourth miss anything."

Towards her reply, Qingyan curled her lips in satisfaction. "Father, mother, in the future let's get along with Deng yiniang lots, how about it? Moreover, I like Cong'er very much." Qingyan looked to Su Yun and Luo Bing with an eager look.

Seeing the satisfied smile on Qingyan's face, Luo Bing and Su Yun nodded.

"Cong'er, from now on, you can often come to big sister's yard!" Qingyan looked up to Su Qingcong with a smile, "Fifth sister can come too. I have lots of good books here. I can lend them all too fifth sister."

Hearing Qingyan say this, Luo Bing just knew Qingyan hasn't been living well in the manor. Perhaps in these three years, she simply never made any friends, and Ning Siyao and Chai Yiyun didn't tell them the truth of the matter either.

This kind of Qingyan seemed lovable, but it was the most heartbreaking for them as well. This was their daughter.

While eating, Qingyan continuously stared off into the near distance, as if she was observing something. She also reflexively tapped on the table; that feeling felt as if she knew something was going to happen.

"Ahhhh!" Suddenly, from nearby came a sharp cry. Soon after, subsequent screams sounded.

Qingyan amusingly smiled, "Father, mother, could something have happened? I recall that's the direction of second aunt's yard."

Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to Murong Jingxuan, fully amused. And he too glanced back at Xuanyuan Yuzhen with a delighted smile.

However, the show has already begun.

"Daddy, you just got back, could something have happened to second aunt again? How about we go take a look?" Qingyan swayed Su Yun's hand, beaming a smile at him, as she spoke.

Su Yun looked to Qingyan's gaze and nodded with a smile, "Alright, we'll do as our Yan'er says."

Meanwhile, Ning Siyao was busy killing off the scorpions that had crawled out from who knows where, and there seemed to be other bugs as well.

Su Ming never would have thought that he would see such a disgusting scene in Ning Siyao's yard. He originally wanted to turn and leave, but all those scorpions scattered about, crawling towards them. They simply weren't able to avoid in time.

Very soon, some of the servant girls were stung by the scorpions, but those scorpions weren't just simply stinging people. Instead, they were entering the body through the skin.

Once Chai Yiyun heard the horrible screams from yonder, she fearfully hid in her yard, not daring to come out, with Su Yan accompanying her. And it was precisely because Qingyan had accurately predicted Chai Yiyun's personality that she was able to let these scorpions run rampant only in Ning Siyao's yard without restraint.

After all, it was more fun to deal with them one by one.

When Qingyan, along with Su Yun, rushed to Ning Siyao's yard, they saw fallen bodies all over the yard in disorder, all rolling around on the ground.

Deng Yan, who'd never seen such a thing before, immediately covered Su Qingcong's eyes. However, Su Qingcong seemed unfazed and fixedly stared at those people.

"Fourth miss, save me." A fallen servant girl reached her hand out to Qingyan, but before the hand could even touch the hem of Qingyan's dress, she was already down.

"Mother, do you think second aunt's yard provoked something, that's why there's so many bugs." Qingyan spoke from behind Luo Bing's back, still putting on a serious act.

While no one was paying attention, Qingyan let out a whistle. And soon after, those bugs successively disappeared into Ning Siyao's yard.

Murong Jingxuan and Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to Qingyan's appearance, curling their lips.

"Father, mother, look, after we came to the yard all the bugs disappeared." Qingyan looked to the dispersed bugs grinning, "Seems like even bugs are afraid of father and mother's great General status."

"This girl." Luo Bing tapped the tip of Qingyan's nose.

When Ning Siyao and Su Ming pushed opened the room door, they saw Su Yun's whole family standing in the yard's entrance. As soon as Ning Siyao saw Qingyan, she pointed to her cursing, "It's all your fault, you little wench, incurring such disaster."

"Second brother, so this is the upbringing of your wife? The daughter raised by the Jingguo Marquis is this kind of bitch?" Su Yun looked to Ning Siyao, coldly berating, "When have our Yan'er come by here?"

Listening to Su Yun's words, Qingyan inwardly smirked. Su Yun's personality was very similar to Qilian General's in the past. That was they both were the very protective type, if he'd heard something like this, he'd certainly be very angry.

Ning Siyao listened to Su Yun's words, not repenting in the least, "Am I not right? Ever since the fourth girl woke from drowning, her personality has drastically changed. Have you never considered that this wench isn't your real daughter..."

Ning Siyao's personality flipped. Hearing these words from her, Su Ming gave her a slap across the face without even thinking, "What nonsense are you saying!"

"My lord, you hit me, you hit me!" Ning Siyao covered her face and angrily looked to Su Ming. "How can you still be shielding that wench at a time like this?"

"Enough!" Su Ming continued to coldly berate her. And as if realizing something, Ning Siyao suddenly went silent.

But just then, a small servant girl came to the yard trembling, "Madam, madam, those servant corpses we previously buried in the well are all display at the well opening right now."

It was just then that the small servant girl realized that there were others present. When she glanced over, she saw all those people standing there with a shocked face. And thus she could only pretend to faint.

When she heard this, Qingyan inwardly smiled. She tightly held onto Luo Bing's hand, "Mother, how could that be?" She pretended to be trembling, "Second aunt killed someone?"
