Chapter 53 I am very kind (Rain After Tingyuan and Shi Bi+)

  Thank you to Tong Huan's pink tickets and update tickets, I really love and hate the urge to update... The person who is injured can't afford it... Thank you to Sha Sha Tu's grey grey for the reward of peace symbol, thank you everyone for your support!

  Qing Jin looked at the swan beside her with a slightly headache, the meaning was self-evident, wanting to let the swan persuade Gu Ning Xuan a few words and take him away.

  The mandarin duck looked at his own daughter, understood her meaning, but was unwilling to leave Qingjin's side at this time, and shied away from meeting Qingjin's eyes.

  It was Gu Ningxuan who spoke up, his small body radiating an aura of authority. Watching the interaction between Qingyu and her servant, he turned to Qingyu and said, "You don't have to think about sending me away. You're only in trouble because you saved Young Master, and even if Grandmother wants to punish you, she'll have to punish Young Master too! After all, you're Young Master's... his own sister!"

  Upon hearing Gu Ningxuan's words and seeing her determined gaze, Qingjin looked at Yuanyang beside her who was not listening to her orders but instead secretly making eyes at Ningxuan. She knew that today she couldn't shake off these two people. Thinking of this, she finally compromised: "Alright, you two follow me together to see Grandmother, but later on, you must follow my lead and can't speak much."

  "The slave will definitely not speak much." Seeing his daughter compromise, Yuanyang immediately raised her head and said, but the response was too quick and too concise, which made people feel extremely untrustworthy.

  Qing Jin didn't mind, looking at the two people who insisted on accompanying her, a softness flashed in her heart. In her previous life, she had abandoned everything for love, only to end up with nothing but despair and no way out after it failed. She had resolutely chosen to die by fire. Reborn this time, she finally realized that besides romantic love, there was also familial love, and the loyal and devoted relationship between master and servant was so warm and comforting.

  Thinking so, he took Ning Xuan and Yuanyang with him towards the direction of the main hall in the mansion.

  Outside the Hou Mansion's grand hall. From a distance, Chū Liǔ, the elderly lady's senior maid, saw Qīng Jǐn and the other two approaching, walked up to them and slightly bowed, "Second Miss, Young Master. You've finally returned, the elderly lady has been waiting for you in the grand hall for a long time."

  Qing Jin heard Chu Liu's words and nodded slightly, passing by Chu Liu and walking towards the main hall.

  At the moment when Chū Liǔ brushed past her, "Second Miss, Old Madam is very angry this time..." Chū Liǔ couldn't help but remind Qīng Jǐn.

  Qingjin, who had already walked past, stopped in her tracks and turned around, "Thank you for reminding me, Chuyue."

  "First willow sister, this kindness of yours, young master also remembered." Seeing Qingjin and Chuyan's conversation, Gu Ningxuan also nodded towards Chuyan in a similar manner.

  "Pfft——" Seeing Gu Ning Xuan's appearance, Qing Jin, who was originally still a bit tense and tragic, couldn't help but burst out laughing. She patted Gu Ning Xuan on the head and looked up to say to Chu Liu: "No matter what, I'll accept your kind intentions today... From now on, if you have any difficulties, come find me, and as long as I can help, I'll do my best to agree."

  Chu Liu didn't disappoint as Shen's loyal maid, easily understanding the meaning behind Qing Jin's unfinished words. Chu Liu, who was initially regretful for her earlier chatter, flashed a delighted glint in her eyes upon hearing Qing Jin's words, it seemed that today's careless remark had hit the mark!

  Qing Jin walked into the hall with Gu Ning Xuan and Yuanyang, and saw her grandmother Shen Shi sitting upright on the main seat, beside whom were her mother Jun Shi and third aunt Su Shi.

  "Kneel down!" - Shen's gaze was sharp as a knife, his voice filled with majesty and anger.

  Seeing Shen's gaze at her, Qing Jin obediently knelt down.

  Following Qingjin, Gu Ningxuan heard his grandmother's words and saw Qingjin kneel down. He couldn't help but want to speak up, but Qingjin gave him a subtle glare.

  Gu Ning moved her lips but ultimately didn't say anything.

  The lady beside him hastily rushed over and pulled Gu Ningxuan to her side, then spoke to the elderly woman with a face full of anger and majesty: "Mother—"

  "That's enough! If you hadn't been so indulgent with her all along, how would she have had the nerve to gallop through the streets of Beijing, and at a time when the Emperor is on an expedition? Is it that our Anji Marquis Manor is declining too slowly for your liking? Since you can't teach her properly, let me, this old wife, do it."

  One sentence made Mr. Jun's face turn as white as paper.

  Qing Jin looked up to see Jun Shi's pale face, "Grandmother, it was granddaughter's fault, not mother's bad teaching, but granddaughter herself being disobedient. Granddaughter is willing to admit her mistake, take responsibility and accept punishment for what she did wrong."

  "Know your mistake, accept the punishment, you can know what kind of disaster you have caused. Now that His Majesty is not in the capital, when he returns to the capital, there will be countless impeachment memorials on the imperial desk against our Anji Hou Mansion. Your father is now just a idle official, do you want your father to completely lose his official position and the title of Anji Hou Mansion to be stripped before you are satisfied?"

  Upon hearing the old lady's words, Qing Jin suddenly lifted her head, her fierce expression like a malevolent spirit crawling out of hell. "No... there won't be any demotion..." I clearly didn't want to marry Long Han Yuan... didn't humiliate myself...

  The old lady originally just wanted to scold her a couple of sentences, but didn't expect Qing Jin to hear the words "deprived of title", suddenly like an evil spirit crawling out of hell, she was shocked in her heart, trembling with her hand pointing at Gu Qing Jin, "You..."

  "Grandma, don't blame my sister... Xuan'er clearly didn't bump into that person, but that person insisted on saying Xuan'er bumped into him and even wanted to take Xuan'er away... Xuan'er was scared, but that person wouldn't give Xuan'er a chance to speak. It was my sister who came and saved Xuan'er... My sister didn't hit those people, it was a man in black clothes riding a horse who did..." Gu Ningxuan suddenly jumped out and spoke incoherently.

  Interfered by Gu Ningxuan, Qingjin's eyes cleared up and she realized her previous loss of composure. She lowered her head in silence, hoping that Shen Shi would not think that her previous loss of composure was due to being possessed by some kind of evil spirit, and treat her as such!

  Qing Jin was unaware that her momentary abnormality had indeed been noted by Shen, but what concerned Shen more was the meaning behind Gu Ning Xuan's words. Someone actually wanted to take away her grandson in broad daylight, right under everyone's noses - the future heir of An Ji Hou Fu. Had An Ji Hou Fu offended someone or did someone want to make a move against them?

  Such an idea was spinning in Shen's mind, and compared to Qingjin's temporary abnormality, the safety of Anji Houfu was more important. Shen immediately cast her eyes on Gu Ningxuan and asked: "Xuan'er, tell grandma in detail, who wants to take Xuan'er away under the bright sun?"

  Gu Ningxuan heard Shen's question and was about to respond. Chu Liu walked in from outside, slightly bowing to the crowd, and addressed Shen who was seated at the main seat: "Old Madame, Fourth Miss, Fifth Miss, and Sixth Miss have returned and are waiting outside..."

  "Let them all come in!"

  "Is...". The first willow, Fukushin, went out after him.

  Gu Qingyao, Gu Qingxia and Gu Qingqi walked into the hall from outside. Upon seeing Gu Qingjin kneeling on the ground, each of their faces showed different expressions: Gu Qingyao's was one of confusion, Gu Qingxia's was clearly schadenfreude, while Gu Qingqi's was tinged with feigned concern.

  "Grandma, what did Second Sister do wrong? Why is she being made to kneel here..." Gu Qingyao spoke up first.

  "Are you going out with Ning Xuan today?" Shen Shi asked back without responding to Gu Qingyao's words.

  Gu Qingyao immediately understood Shen's meaning as soon as she heard her words, and quickly replied: "Yes, grandmother, this morning it was my daughter who took seventh brother, fifth sister and sixth sister out together."

  "Ning Xuan said you and others had a conflict outside, what's going on?" Shen Shi asked, looking at Gu Qingyao.

  "What's going on, Grandmother? You don't know, it was all fine and nothing happened, as long as Seventh Brother apologized to them, but then someone suddenly intervened, saying that her brother couldn't apologize, and provoked the other side, almost causing everyone to be taken away by bandits..." Before Shen Shi could ask any questions, Gu Qingxia immediately jumped in and reported Gu Qingjing's misdeed.

  Upon hearing Gu Qingxia's words, the old lady's eyes turned stern and she looked at Gu Qingyao beside her: "Qingyao, is what Qingxia said true?"

  "Grandma, this can't be blamed on Second Sister either..." The tone of her words indirectly acknowledged Qingjin's fault. In fact, she thought Second Sister was too impulsive and that it wouldn't end well if she continued like this. It would be better for her to cooperate with Fifth Sister today, even if Second Sister might get punished. After this incident, she definitely wouldn't be so impulsive again. Looking at the situation today, she really felt that Second Sister's behavior was very dangerous. She was actually thinking of Second Sister's well-being and hoped that Second Sister wouldn't blame her, but could understand her good intentions.

  Shen heard Qingyao's words and looked at Gu Qingjin, who was kneeling with her head down. This granddaughter had disappointed her after all, but now wasn't the time to dwell on that. After a moment of contemplation, she lifted her head and said to Qingyao: "Tell Grandmother in detail what happened on the main street today!"

  "Alright, Grandma."

  So Gu Qingyao told Shen Shi about what happened to them today with Li Botian, and when she mentioned that Gu Ningxuan accidentally bumped into Li Botian, Qingyao paused for a moment. She was a bit conflicted, as she could tell that Li Botian had deliberately let her seventh brother bump into him. But looking at Gu Qingyan kneeling beside her, for the sake of her second sister, she decided to tell a small, insignificant lie...

  "You're lying, it wasn't me who accidentally bumped into that person, it was that person who bumped into me." Upon hearing Qingyao mention the person he accidentally bumped into, Gu Ningxuan immediately became indignant and jumped up to argue with Gu Qingyao in anger.

  Seeing Gu Ningxuan's angry stare, Gu Qingyao averted her gaze. She felt some pity, but when her eyes fell on her second sister kneeling silently with her head down beside her, she immediately suppressed that feeling of pity. Her second sister's behavior today was really too dangerous, and she definitely couldn't let her second sister be in such danger again. Seventh brother would understand her thoughts later and would certainly thank her.
