The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 110

After listening to Qingyan's words, Murong Jingxuan held on to her delicate waist and flew out the window. Not long after, they arrived in Su Qingyuan's Yuanxin yard.

Murong Jingxuan found a way to knock those guarding servant girls unconscious with medicine. And during this time Qingyan quietly pushed open the door and walked up next to Su Qingyuan.

She let out a whistle next to her, and afterwards, saw Su Qingyuan slowly opened her eyes. Just as she saw Qingyan, she slowly said, "Greetings master."

Qingyan played with the whistle made from blood jade in hand, "Indeed."

When Murong Jingxuan pushed opened the door, he saw Su Qingyuan kneeling on the floor. That appearance looked as if Qingyan was her master, and that she needed to behave according to Qingyan's orders.

"Yan'er, you succeeded?" Murong Jingxuan looked to Qingyuan on the ground and smile, "Looks like the Ghost Ringed Scorpion really does have this special ability."

Su Qingyuan looked to Qingyan with an admiring and revering look, "What does master need, this servant is willing to tread through fire and water for master."

'Pei.' Seeing Su Qingyuan's appearance, Murong Jingxuan spat out.

"Go back and rest." Qingyan looked to Su Qingyuan and dryly spoke.

Su Qingyuan followed Qingyan's orders and crawled into bed. Afterwards, Qingyan walked up next to the bed and called out the scorpion. Then, Murong Jingxuan brought her over to hide, but they discovered that Su Qingyuan seemed to have not noticed anything and wasn't showing the slightest signs of waking.

"Seems like it's a success." Murong Jingxuan looked to the small girl in his arms and said with a smile.

"I think so too." When Qingyan looked to him, she let out a warm smile.

Murong Jingxuan brought Qingyan back to Yingshuang yard. Now, all that's left is to figure out how to let Xuanyuan Yufan encounter this so called mess.

After watching Qingyan go to sleep, Murong Jingxuan finally left.

And Qingyan had a good night sleep.

The morning of the next day, after Qingyan finished cleaning up, she heard Baizhi say that Su Qingming has already returned. The first place he went after his return was naturally Ning Siyao's yard.

As soon as Ning Siyao saw Su Qingming, she pulled him into her arms at once, "My son, you've finally returned."

Seeing Ning Siyao's appearance, Su Qingming just knew she hasn't been well in the manor, especially after receiving those letters.

"Mother, don't worry, since I'm back, I will definitely seek justice for you and little sister." Su Qingming looked to Ning Siyao with a warm smile on his face.

"My Son! Your sister is really just too pitiful." Ning Siyao's tears started to fall, "It's all that wench Su Qingyan's fault that your sister has fallen to such. You must help your sister take revenge!"

Su Qingming looked to Ning Siyao and solemnly nodded, "Mother, don't worry. I will definitely help little sister bring justice, and will definitely make that Su Qingyan pay the price." He clenched his fist.

"Ming'er, do you really have a way to deal with Su Qingyan?" Ning Siyao looked to Su Qingming with an expectant gaze. Right now, her only hope was Su Qingming. Furthermore, she couldn't let anyone find out about Su Qingyuan's pregnancy, if others were to find out, how will Su Qingyuan continue to live.

"Mother, your son naturally has a way. This, mother doesn't need to worry about." Thinking back on the idea Xuanyuan Yufan gave him, Su Qingming's lips curved into a smile. He really want to meet this fourth sister of his.

After Su Qingming left Ning Siyao's yard, he originally was going to return to his own yard, but after careful consideration, he still decided to head to Su Qingyan's yard. When he arrived at Qingyan's yard, he saw Su Qingyan holding a pure snow white fox, sitting on the swings swinging.

"Fourth sister, you really are so leisurely!" Su Qingming looked to Su Qingyan with a smile. Yet, he could only tightly clench his fist, let it seem like nothing was wrong.

When Qingyan heard this voice, she looked up to Su Qingming, smiling in return, "Isn't this second (older) brother, when did you get back?"

Su Qingming coldly laughed in his mind, but on the surface, pretended to be very easy going, "Fourth sister, do you really need to be so ruthless?"

Qingyan tilted her head at Su Qingming with a smile on her face, "What is second brother referring to?"

"Fourth sister, if you don't want others to know, unless you don't do*." Su Qingming looked to Su Qingyan with a nonchalant look on his face, but on the inside he was itching to rip that mouth off her face.

(*T/N: This is a proverb from the Han dynasty poet Mei Cheng, I think it's straightforward enough without an explanation.)

"Second brother, divine retribution, do you understand?" Qingyan faintly spoke, "If one sins, one cannot escape."

As soon as Su Qingming heard those words, he raised his hand, wanting to give Su Qingyan a slap across the face. But who knew, for some reason, he immediately flew back and heavily fell to the ground. When Su Qingming glanced over again, he saw Su Qingyu standing there next to him.

"What, seeing I'm not around, second (younger) brother wants to bully our Yan'er?" Su Qingyu chillingly spoke as he looked to Su Qingming.

"Big brother*, you saw too, just now second brother wanted to bully me." Qingyan stood behind Su Qingyu, showing a pleased smile to Su Qingming.

(*T/N: Qingyan addresses him differently sometimes; before she would call him 'xiong zhang' which is a really formal way to address one's older brother. Here she just calls him 'da ge' which is more casual.)

Seeing Qingyan's wronged appearance, Qingyu patted her head, "We martial art practitioners can't control our strength, if I injured second brother, I hope second brother won't blame me."

Glancing between the brother and sister pair, Su Qingming angrily turned and left.

"Little sister, why would he come to find you?" Su Qingyu looked to Qingyan worryingly, if it wasn't for him appearing in time just now, his sister would have already been hit.

Qingyan shook her head, "I don't know either. As soon as second brother came, he started saying some strange things to me, even saying I harmed eldest sister....."

Earlier, it was because she detected Su Qingyu's presence, that she dared to use that kind of tone with Su Qingming. Although she could also use marital arts, she was skilled in using concealed weapons and inner qi. If we're to compare one to one in close combat abilities, she would definitely be inferior to Su Qingyu.

"Hmph, it really is whole family, all the same kind of trash." Su Qingyu spat out in a resentful manner, "Don't worry, Yan'er, he wouldn't dare do anything to you."

Qingyan looked to Su Qingyu and nodded, "Having an elder brother is the best, can even protect me." Qingyan happily laughed.

Su Qingyu scratched his head as he looked to her, "If there's someone that dares to bully you, I'll definitely be the first one to not consent."

Qingyan looked to Su Qingyu and hurriedly made Zizhu prepare the tea, "Why did elder brother think of coming to my yard? Don't tell me something happened to mother and father?"

"No, I'd just returned from the barracks outside the city and saw that guy, Su Qingming, standing at the entrance looking suspicious. I can't believe second brother even wanted to harm you."

Seeing Su Qingyu's awe-inspiring righteous appearance, Qingyan happily smiled. This kind of elder brother certainly made one feel reassured.
