“This idea is absolutely not allowed.” Lady Zhou was a kind-hearted person. Although she had more or less guessed Dongfang Ruyan’s motive, she couldn’t bear to sit idly by when a life was at stake and Dongfang Ruyna had acquired the ailment while saving her daughter, Lady Zhou couldn’t bear to turn a blind eye.
Lady Zhou looked at Su Qian and said gently, “Qianqian, your Aunt Ruyan was injured for the sake of your mother. Look…”
Nangong Lie and Lady Wen also looked at Su Qian. Like Lady Zhou, they hoped that Su Qian would help Dongfang Ruyan.
In the Nangong family, they disliked being indebted to others.
Not to mention, now that the person had come to ask for this favor in person.
Su Qian understood Dongfang Ruyan’s intentions, and her doubts about her disappeared. She smiled faintly and said, “Since Eldest Miss Dongfang got injured and acquired a hidden ailment for the sake of my mother, I naturally won’t sit idly by. Miss Dongfang, please follow me to the side hall. I’ll examine your body.”
She couldn’t bring herself to address Dongfang Ruyan as Aunt Ruyan, so she had to settle for addressing her as Miss Dongfang.
Dongfang Ruyan felt that Su Qian’s way of addressing her was like a heavy slap to her face.
At this moment, she also understood that Su Qian completely treated her as an outsider.
The smile on Dongfang Ruyan’s face was a bit strained as she said, “Let’s not trouble Qianqian. I didn’t come here for Qianqian to check on me.”
Hearing Dongfang Ruyan’s words, Su Qian lazily lifted the corners of her lips and veiled the scattered mockery in her eyes as she spoke lightly, “Miss Dongfang, there’s no need to be so polite. It’s just a piece of cake for me. If Miss Dongfang continues to decline, it will only worry my grandparents. They are already old, so it’s better to spare them unnecessary concerns.”
With these words, if Dongfang Ruyan continued to refuse, it would make her seem overly affected.
Dongfang Huo was an impatient person. He originally accompanied Dongfang Ruyan here because he was ordered by the master of the family to accompany her to see Su Qian.
Since Su Qian had already agreed to help, Dongfang Huo naturally wouldn’t be as reserved and polite as Dongfang Ruyan. He hurriedly said, “Eldest Miss, you don’t have to be so polite with Miss Su anymore. Miss Su, I’ll have to trouble you.”
Su Qian nodded slightly and stood up to walk to the side hall.
Meanwhile, in the backyard.
Ye Liuguang sat bored in the pavilion, on the verge of falling asleep.
Su Qingqing and Su Ye were playing a game of catching butterflies.
Just as Su Qingqing was about to successfully catch a small butterfly, a voice suddenly sounded behind her and Su Ye.
“What are you two doing?”
Su Qingqing and Su Ye turned around together and saw a boy who was dressed very luxuriously. He was so fat that he looked like a short winter melon. He stood not far behind them and watched them.
“Who are you?” Su Ye was sure that he had never seen this child in the Nangong family, so he subconsciously shielded Su Qingqing behind him.
“My name is Dongfang An.” Dongfang An raised his chin and said, “A distinguished guest of the Nangong’s Residence.”
Hmph, his mother had said that the Dongfang family was the most distinguished guest in a small family like the Nangong family. They had to be treated like masters.
Ye Liuguang heard the commotion and lazily opened his eyes to look at Dongfang An.
With just one glance, he was sure that Dongfang An was no match for Su Ye, so he closed his eyes again.
When Su Qingqing and Su Ye heard what Dongfang An said, they only replied with one word.
“Oh..”
