After entering the cell, the guards immediately brought Leng ruoxue and the others to the cell where grape was kept.
Leng ruoxue focused her eyes and saw grape sitting leisurely on the stone bed in the cell. There was not a single trace of fear on his beautiful face. Seeing this, she couldnât help but burst out laughing and said helplessly,ââWretched girl, youâre so relaxed!â
âMiss!â Grapeâs face was full of surprise. He didnât think that miss would come to save her so quickly, hehe!
âOpen the cell!â Leng ruoxue gave grape a consoling look and said to the guards in the prison.
âThis, this ...â The guard stammered, standing still and not daring to move.
âWhatâs wrong? Do you need me to invite your family head here before you can take her away?â Leng ruoxue replied indifferently. She then looked at ning haolan, her eyes clearly saying,âyouâre not strong enough as a young master! The guards didnât even give you face. â
Ning haolan smiled wryly, then ordered the guard,ââDidnât you hear what miss Leng said? Hurry up and open the cell door!â
âYoung master! âIt was the ninth miss who ordered her to be locked in here. I ... I ...â The guard was in a difficult position. He couldnât afford to offend the young master, but he couldnât afford to offend the ninth miss even more. This didnât mean that the ninth miss âstatus in the ning family was higher than the young masterâ s, but that the ninth miss was too vicious. If she knew that he had let go of the criminal who had offended the ninth miss, the ninth miss would not let him go.
âYouâre afraid of the ninth young mistress, but arenât you afraid of the young master?â Cheng Xuan narrowed his eyes and smiled.
âAfraid! Even Iâm afraid! âWoo ...â The guard said with an aggrieved expression.
âHurry up and open the cell. Otherwise, if miss Leng comes to find your familyâs old ancestor, you wonât even know how you died.â Cheng Xuan threatened.
âYes ...â The guard wanted to cry but had no tears. Why was it that the people he had met today were all more difficult to deal with than the other, and each had a stronger background than the other!
The Guardâs hands trembled and his face was ashen. He took out the key and opened the cell door with trembling hands. Seeing this, grape swaggered out from inside.
âMiss!â Grape called out softly.
Leng ruoxue looked grape up and down. After confirming that she wasnât injured, she finally felt at ease.
âWhatâs going on?â Leng ruoxue asked indifferently.
âMiss! Donât even mention it, Iâm really unlucky to have met a crazy woman while walking. â Grapeâs face was gloomy as he explained,ââI was walking fine, but I met a woman on the way. That woman said that I was disrespectful to her and bumped into her. Her maidservant wanted to attack me, but I beat her down. After that, I was captured by the guards she called and put in prison.â
âThat woman is the ninth young lady of the ning family?â Leng ruoxue raised her brows and asked with a smile that was not a smile.
âMm! That woman was even more annoying than Ning Xi âer. At least in front of outsiders, Ning Xiâ er would still pretend to be obedient. However, that woman was cruel and cold-blooded. Her maidservant couldnât beat me, so she abandoned her. She even said that she wouldnât let me go. This is really an unexpected disaster!â Grape said gloomily.
âIt seems that she hasnât had the time to attack you yet.â Cheng Xuan teased with a smirk.
âMm! That woman seemed to have something urgent to attend to, so Iâm safe for now. â Grape nodded.
Hearing grapeâs words, Leng ruoxueâs beautiful eyes turned to ning haolan. She asked with a faint smile,ââWho is the ninth young lady of the ning family? How come Iâve never heard of it?â
âThe ninth young mistress âname is Ning Shanâ er. In recent years, sheâs been out training and rarely comes back to the ning family. However, sheâs very talented, so sheâs very doted on by the ning family. She almost became Cheng Xuanâs fiancée.â Ning haolan explained, then pulled out another gossip.
âDammit! Just say what you want to say to her, why drag me into this?â Cheng Xuan gritted his teeth, his face full of displeasure.
âIâm just telling the truth!â Ning haolan replied innocently. Then, as if he suddenly recalled something, he said,ââArgh! She didnât come back because she knew you were in the ning family, right?â
âImpossible! Donât spout nonsense!â Cheng Xuanâs face drained of all color as cold sweat began to drip down his forehead. âWu...I donât want to see that lunatic. Besides, if haolan didnât mention it, Iâd have almost forgotten that woman had once pursued me like a madman.â He glared at ning haolan with hatred at the thought.
âHahaha! Donât be afraid, sheâs not as strong as you, so she canât use force on you. â Ning haolan said with a smirk.
âDammit! Youâre still talking?â Cheng Xuan was burning with anger.
âAlright! Iâm not going to joke with you anymore. â Itâs good that ning haolan is happy.
âGreat aunt! That woman is very scary and possessive, so if you see her, itâs best to stay as far away as possible. Itâs even better if you donât see her face, otherwise, you may not be able to keep your beautiful little face. â Cheng Xuan said with a worried expression.
âWhatâs the meaning of this?â Leng ruoxue squinted her eyes and asked in confusion.
âThat woman is overbearing, selfish, vicious, and cruel. She canât stand anyone being stronger than her. She also claims to be the most beautiful woman in the world. Tell me, if such an unreasonable woman sees you, will she let you go?â Cheng Xuan asked.
âXuanâs right. Ning Shan âer is indeed a flamboyant, overbearing, and vicious woman. Even Ning Xiâ er is submissive in front of her. Other than aunt Yan, she should be the highest-ranking young lady in the ning family. Itâs only when sheâs not in the ning family that Ning Xi âer can flaunt her power. Also, sheâs a legitimate child.â Ning haolan added.
âSo thatâs how it is. However, itâs a little too late for you to ask me to stay away from her now, because even if I donât provoke her, she will still come to find trouble with me. â Leng ruoxue understood. She could already foresee how furious this pampered first wife would be when she found out about someone like her. If that woman was really like what Cheng Xuan and ning haolan had said, she would definitely go crazy.
âMiss! I will protect you!â Grape patted his chest and promised.
âSilly girl, Iâll be at ease if you can protect yourself.â Leng ruoxue chuckled.
âGreat aunt! Iâll protect you too, but nowâs not the time to talk about this. Letâs get out of this cell quickly! Otherwise, if that poison Scorpion comes, no one will be able to leave easily. â Cheng Xuan said with a face full of fear.
âEn!â Leng ruoxue nodded.
Everyone left the cell and returned to their respective residences.
Cheng Xuan returned to LAN garden with ning haolan in fear. Just as he was about to pack his things and leave, ning haolan pulled him back.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you trying to sneak away?â Ning haolan said with a smirk.
âIf I donât cower now, when will I? I canât afford to offend that woman, so Iâll just hide, alright?â Cheng Xuan said unhappily.
âYouâre not going to protect Leng ruoxue anymore?â Ning haolan raised an eyebrow.
âProtect! Why donât I escape with her? That crazy woman definitely wonât let the three of them go. If thereâs really a conflict, then your ning family will also be in trouble. Itâs better for me to leave. â The more Cheng Xuan spoke, the more he felt that his words made sense.
