A crack appeared on Shen Chongyan's face, which was as still as a mountain, and he spat out two words: "Ridiculous!"

He was almost laughing and crying: "Ning'er and Ruyao are the same age. In the mother's heart, her son is actually a beast?"

Shen Chongyan turned his head to look at his brother and habitually scolded him: "You are so old, why are you still so impetuous?"

Seeing his brother deny it, Shen Chongyao breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the teacup on the ground with some embarrassment.

Fortunately, fortunately...it’s best if brother doesn’t mean that.

He still hasn't figured out what's going on with the fatal jade box. God knows what the nobles in the palace are thinking. Shen Chongyao is really afraid of complications.

Shen's mother looked at her son's expression and saw that he did not look fake. Since he had no such intention, it would be much easier to deal with.

She said calmly, "When Ning'er gets better, we should move her to Songshou Hall. It's more spacious after all."

Shen Chongyan didn't respond for a moment.

Madam Zhu forced a smile and said, "Since you have entrusted her to me, I will not let her down."

Shen Chongyan glanced at the old lady and said, "Thank you first, mother. We'll talk about it when Ning'er gets better."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and drank his tea sip by sip.

The atmosphere fell into a strange silence.

Until Yan Ling stood outside the door and reported: "My Lord, Miss Yao will be here soon."

Madam Zhu's face suddenly turned ugly. She said, "I'll wait here and see what Yao'er has to say."

Ge Qing was coming out of the pharmacy when he saw Yan Ling standing outside the door. He asked in surprise, "What happened?"

There were several bloodstains on Yan Ling's face, which made his handsome face look somewhat pitiful.

He said nonchalantly, "It was a reward from my lady. It's just a minor injury."

When Yan Lingding came to the door of Guiyitang to demand someone, Luo Miaoyun was almost angry to death.

Zhu Xiao lifted the curtain, stood in the courtyard, pointed at Yan Ling and yelled, "How dare you! A servant dare to act so presumptuously in the mistress's courtyard!"

Yan Ling simply bowed and said, "I am following the orders of the Marquis to invite Miss Yao to move over and have a chat."

Luo Miaoyun's face turned pale: "Get out of here!"

Yan Ling did not move a step, and continued: "I am following the order of the Marquis to invite Miss Yao to move over and have a chat."

After hearing this, Luo Miaoyun slapped Yan Ling hard, leaving deep marks on her face with her long red nails. She said coldly, "Guiyi Hall is not a place for you to be so unbridled. Do you still have respect for superiors and subordinates?"

Yan Ling knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Miss Yao, please move aside."

Luo Miaoyun stared at Yan Ling fiercely and said "good" three times in a row: "I think you have lost your mind. Now that you have grown wings and left, don't forget that your mother and father are still in the Marquis' Mansion!"

Having said that, he turned away.

Yan Ling was very patient and just stayed quietly in the yard, but he reported loudly every quarter of an hour:

"By order of the Marquis, Miss Yao, please move."

Luo Miaoyun threw out a tea bowl, and it broke in front of Yan Ling with a "bang".

In less than an hour, she surrendered. Luo Miaoyun shouted angrily: "Go back, Yaoer and I will go there by ourselves!"

Yan Ling felt that he had completed the task, dusted himself off, and went to report to the Marquis.

----

In the end, Shen Ruyao followed Luo Miaoyun slowly and cautiously to Liu Ying's yard.

The little maid who was cleaning was a little numb... What happened today? The masters and maids in the marquis's mansion came to their courtyard in groups. If two more came, there would be almost no place to sit.

As soon as Shen Ruyao saw the old lady, her eyes turned red and she looked at her grandmother pitifully.

Madam Zhu had always looked after them like the apple of her eye, so she couldn't stand this. She immediately waved to Shen Ruyao, "Come to Grandma."

Shen Ruyao looked at her silent father with some fear, and said obediently: "Greetings to grandma and father."

Just as she was about to go over, she heard Shen Chongyan calling her name: "Shen Ruyao."

She had no choice but to stand up and listen to the lecture. Seeing her husband like this, Luo Miaoyun couldn't help but clench her fingers.

"Do you know you were wrong?"

Just one simple sentence made Shen Ruyao burst into tears. She sobbed, "I, I know I was wrong."

Shen Chongyan just nodded: "What's wrong?"

Shen Ruyao almost bit her tongue. She said hesitantly, "I was wrong. I didn't know Sister Ning was not in good health. I shouldn't have joked with her... and dragged her away."

Shen Chongyan looked at his daughter. She was beautiful since she was young, with a pair of big eyes that looked very lively, and she looked very much like her mother.

He turned to his mother and asked, "Mother, what do you think of Yao'er's fault? How should she be punished?"

Old Madam Zhu glanced at her granddaughter. Her cheeks were slightly rosy and she looked very healthy. Somehow, Ning'er's sickly face flashed through her mind, and she was a little hesitant when she spoke:

"It is the greatest virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Yao'er has already admitted her mistakes, so ask her and Ning'er to apologize sincerely. In the future, the sisters should get along better with each other."

"It is the greatest virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Mother is right." Shen Chongyan stood up and said to Shen Ruyao, "In this case, you should apologize to Ning'er in person."

The old lady, Luo Miaoyun and Shen Ruyao were all stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that Shen Chongyan would be so much of a threat but little action, and would just let the matter go so lightly. They couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

When Shen Ruyao came in, Ning'er was leaning on the couch with her eyes closed. She looked at this proud young lady with some surprise.

Shen Ruyao's previous fear and anxiety had been swept away. She even looked at Ning'er openly and apologized straightforwardly: "Sister Ning, it's my fault. I didn't know you were not in good health and couldn't run. I tired Sister Ning."

Ning Er glanced at Shen Ruyao. In just half a day, the golden phoenix-wing cloud hairpin on her head had disappeared, replaced by a pearl flower headdress. Ning Er just smiled and said, "My body is not doing well."

Shen Chongyan looked at her expression carefully and still looked very undefeated. He said to Shen Ruyao, "Remember, it was Ning'er who didn't care about your offense."

Shen Ruyao nodded quickly: "Thank you, Sister Ning." She was a little proud that her father was indeed on her side.

But then I heard my father say, "As your sister, I forgive you. Now it is my turn as your father to discipline you."

Shen Chongyan said to her calmly, "Since you keep saying that Ning'er is not in good health and can't run, then Yao'er must be in good health and good at running."

Her father's tone was gentle, but she couldn't help feeling scared: "Very good, since you know you are wrong, you can be punished."

He looked down at her like this, and said, "Yan Ling."

Yan Ling knelt on one knee and clasped his hands together: "My Lord."

Xinyuan Hou said to Shen Ruyao lightly: "Logically, you are the host and she is the guest. It is unkind to offend the guest as the host. In terms of kinship, you are the younger sister and she is the elder sister. It is unfilial to bully the elder sister as the younger sister."

Unkind and unfraternal!

When these words were spoken, it was like a bolt of lightning striking Shen Ruyao on the head, making Mrs. Luo and the old lady dizzy!

How can Yaoer bear such a big hat!

But before they could open their mouths, Shen Chongyan continued, "We in Xinyuan Marquis' Mansion have never had the rule of corporal punishment for our daughters. Since Yao'er likes to run, she can run three laps around the mansion. When she finishes running, she can have dinner."

Everyone was stunned!

Shen Chongyan spoke quickly and clearly: "Yan Ling, I want you to follow me all the way and protect the young lady's safety. Remember, you must run."

"Yes, I obey your command!" Yan Ling said loudly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Miaoyun's eyes turned black and she almost fainted!
