What was this?! Second Uncle Ning thought that as long as he wasnât embarrassed, others would be the ones embarrassed. He directly ignored Xiaoxiaoâs complaints. âIâm here to settle scores with you! Let me tell you, your Second Auntâs stomach didnât feel good when she came back from your house yesterday. If anything happens to my son, you wonât be able to escape responsibility!â
He glanced at Rong Yan. He was actually prepared to accuse him, but when he met the little young masterâs eyes, he could only say, âY-you. Donât even think about running away!â
Xiaoxiao asked him, âSecond Aunt was fine when she went back yesterday. So many people in the village were watching. Little Big Brotherâs guards didnât even touch her when they sent her back. Second Uncle, what kind of muddle-headed debt is this?â
âDonât tell me that she bumped onto the bamboo pole. Iâve played with Doggie, Donkey and Egg. Nothing happened!â
Yun Er and Yun San came to a realizationâso Miss Ning invited them to carry her around for this! She was planning ahead! They actually thought that she was just doing it for fun. They were really ashamed.
Putting herself in his shoes, Mrs. Shen felt that the Ning Family probably didnât want outsiders to see their mess, so she didnât say anything. Li Muyan quickly identified Second Uncle Ning and guessed that he was the greedy relative of the Ning Family who colluded with the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant.
Second Uncle Ning knew that after his eldest brotherâs family started selling food, there would often be a rich family coming to his brotherâs house to eat and buy things. However, he didnât expect so many people to come. Fortunately, Li Muyan came in a hurry today and didnât have time to tidy up after running around for a few days. The Shen family also deliberately kept a low profile. Otherwise, Second Uncle Ning wouldnât be able to find his eyeballs.
Even so, that restless gaze was still unpleasant. Xiaoxiao was short and could not block his gaze, so she could only apologize to the guests and ask them to forgive her for not being able to send them off.
Of course, everyone understood. However, Shen Tianci, who was about to leave, jumped out of the carriage restlessly and stared at Xiaoxiao as he asked Mrs. Shen.
âNing Xiaoxiaoâs elders arenât good people. Will she be bullied?â
Xiaoxiao sighed. âWith Second Uncleâs intelligence, you should know that pretending to be sick is useless when you meet a doctor, right?â
Second Uncle Ning said confidently, âWhy? Do you think I will lie to a little girl like you?â
âYour Second Aunt was frightened after being bitten by your beast. Thatâs why she almost had a miscarriage. Sheâs in danger now!â
Xiaoxiao asked him, âAre you sure?â
Second Uncle Ning nodded firmly. Xiaoxiao asked again, âDid Doctor He make the diagnosis?â
Second Uncle Ning rolled his eyes in disdain. âThat old fool⦠I mean what does that doctor know? Listen carefully. The person who checked your Second Auntâs pulse this time is a divine doctor!â
He did not notice that an unfamiliar young master in the courtyard looked up at him with an ambiguous gaze and was still bragging. âDo you know the county magistrate of our county?â
County Magistrate Shen lifted the curtain and looked at the setting sun.
Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment before she nodded.
Second Uncle Ning continued, âThen do you know who the county magistrateâs wife is?â
Mrs. Shen, who was also in the carriage, used the afterglow to admire the nail varnish that had just been applied on her fingernails.
Xiaoxiao continued to remain silent. Second Uncle Ning looked at her as if she was an ignorant child and then bragged, âYou should know the Li Family, the richest family in Jiangnan, right?â
Li Muyan, who had rushed over and was about to leave in a hurry, patted the dust off his clothes and retracted his boots from the carriageâs footstool with a gentle smile.
Xiaoxiaoâs face was wooden and she did not want to express her stance.
Second Uncle Ning put his hands behind his back and looked smug as if he was talking about his own matters. âThe Li Family is a family that can throw money away for fun. Our county magistrateâs wife is the daughter of the Li Family. Sigh, you wonât understand even if I tell you this. Let me tell you, Old Madam Li has been very sick recently. The Li Family and the Shen Family are unanimously looking for a divine doctor to treat her. Itâs said that this divine doctor can revive the dead. No matter what kind of difficult illness it is, it will definitely be curedâ¦â
Interrupting his increasingly nonsensical bragging, Xiaoxiao asked, âDonât tell me youâre going to say that this divine doctor was the one who treated Second Aunt?â
Second Uncle Ningâs eyebrows were about to fly up. âOf course. This miracle doctor is elusive. Ordinary people donât have the chance to see him. It was only yesterday that your Second Uncle happened to save the miracle doctor who had fainted on the mountain. In return, he treated your Second Aunt. When he did, I realized that my wife was almost killed by you!â
Xiaoxiao was puzzled. âBut we didnât touch Second Aunt yesterday. In order to prevent her from getting injured, we didnât even let her walk much. It was Yun Er and Yun San who carried her back. Donât tell me that she can get sick lying down. Second Aunt really has to be careful even when she breathes.â
âEven if this divine doctor is as godly as you say and really came to the mountain near our Fortune Village for no reason, itâs really a coincidence that he fainted outside and was saved by you. Second Uncle, if you say that Second Aunt was bitten by my Walnut, I wonât admit it even if 1 didnât see Second Auntâs wound.â
Second Uncle Ning immediately put on the face of a victim. âNing Xiaoxiao, if you admit your mistake honestly, Iâll just let you pay for the medical fees. If you donât repent, Iâll sue you in court!â
âDonât blame me for not reminding you. This divine doctor is going to treat the county magistrateâs mother-in-law. When the time comes, heâll hit you with the paddle 20 times first. Letâs see if youâre afraid!â
Xiaoxiao was neither anxious nor angry. As Second Uncle Ning spoke, she counted in detail. âIn a sense, Second Uncle, youâre quite impressive.â Other than the godly doctor that she had never heard of, everyone present was actually named by him.
Naturally, Second Uncle Ning couldnât understand the ridicule in Xiaoxiaoâs words and thought that Xiaoxiao was bluffing. âIf you know that youâre afraid, why arenât you being honestâ¦â
Ning Fengnian frowned as he stood in front of his children.
âSecond Brother, I donât believe what you said.â
Second Uncle Ning looked at his older brother, who was very different from before, in disbelief. âWhat did you say?â
Ning Fengnian looked at the chubby Walnut in Xiaoxiaoâs arms. âOur Walnut wonât bite.â
Second Uncle Ning snorted. âWho doesnât say that their animals are obedient? Is Cuihua going to suffer for nothing just because of your words?â
âLet me tell you, this beast raised by your family is very fierce. Thereâs a huge wound on Cuihuaâs leg. Yesterday, it was covered by her pants and clothes and no one discovered it. When 1 went home, I took a look. Aiyo, itâs simply unbelievably miserable!â
Xiaoxiao seemed to be very curious as she asked, âSecond Aunt was bitten by my dog. Is this also what the divine doctor said?â
Second Uncle Ning puffed out his chest. âOf course. The divine doctor is amazing. He could tell at a glance that your Second Auntâs illness was caused by this beastâs bite! Let me tell you, donât try to deny it! Iâm the one in the right when I tell the county office about this!â
Ning Fengnian was about to say something when Xiaoxiao tugged at his sleeve and shook her head.
At this moment, Second Uncle Ningâs gaze wandered. He looked at the two carriages at the door and then at the gift boxes that the Ning Family had yet to put away. The greed in his heart grew.
The carriage was not big, but it was still a carriage. It was a carriage that only noble Masters could afford!
When did Big Brother get to know these rich Masters?
