Grandma composed himself and said, “No one had a chance to attack in its hands!”
Today was the day for the Second Madam’s nephew’s baptism. Dawa had agreed to accompany her back to her maiden home. It was not good to take back what he had said. Therefore, after breakfast, Dawa and the Second Madam boarded the carriage to the Nie Manor.
Dawa did not have the time to participate in Yu Wan’s conversation with
Grandma and the others. However, he knew about tonight’s plan. After using Ye Yang to exchange for the Sorcerer King, their mission in the Sorcerer Clan would completely end.
At that time, he would have to leave with them. He looked at the woman beside him imperceptibly. For some reason, in his heart…
“What’s wrong, Second Master?” The Second Madam turned her head and her soft voice interrupted Dawa’s thoughts.
“Ah, it’s nothing.” Dawa turned his face away and clenched his fists on his knees. “I was wondering if the etiquette was done after accompanying you back to the house.”
The Second Madam’s lips curled up slightly. “I’ve already prepared it. As long as Second Master doesn’t blame me for being too extravagant.” “I won’t,” said Dawa, without thinking.
The Second Madam smiled, lowered her eyes, and played with the handkerchief in her hand.
Suddenly, the wheels of the carriage hit a stone, and the carriage jolted violently. The Second Madam exclaimed and threw herself forward. Just as she was about to hit the wall of the carriage, Dawa quickly grabbed her and pulled her back.
The force was too great, and the Second Madam bumped into his arms. Although the two of them had slept in the same bed, they had never been really close. This was the first time Dawa experienced the feeling of her in his arms.
Dawa was instantly stunned.
“Sorry, I ran over something. Second Master, Madam, are you alright?” The coachman asked nervously.
“I’m fine.” The Second Madam hurriedly sat up straight. Her eyelashes trembled slightly and her face was slightly red.
Dawa had never come into contact with women before. That attack just now had really frightened him. He did not completely come back to his senses until they arrived at the Nie Manor.
Wen Xu and the Second Madam looked harmonious but were at odds. This was no secret in the aristocratic circle of the Sorcerer Clan. In the early years, Wen Xu was still pretending to be peaceful under the might of the Great Elder and his father. As the relationship between husband and wife gradually broke down, in the end, Wen Xu was too lazy to act.
Therefore, many guests were surprised when “Wen Xu” and the Second Madam appeared at Young Master Nie’s baptism.
“I heard that Wen Xu raised a vixen in another clan. She was even pregnant with the child and brought it back to the Wen family!”
“Is that really the case?
“It’s absolutely true! Otherwise, why would he accompany Nie Wanrou back?
He wants Nie Wanrou to accept that child!”
Wen Xu had been messing around outside for a long time, but this was the first time he had a child. He was looking down on the matriarch. If Nie Wanrou cried about this to the Third Elder, the Third Elder would definitely seek an explanation from the Wen Manor.
The group of people had already thought through the motive behind Dawa accompanying the Second Madam back.
The Second Madam did not say anything, but that group of people would not really dare to ask her.
However, there was one exception.
“Miss, Master is calling for you.” A maidservant from the Nie Family walked into the reception pavilion and reported softly to the Second Madam.
“Got it.” The Second Madam nodded and said to Wen Xu, who was sitting upright, “Follow me.”
Great, let’s go together! He did not know anyone here. If anyone went forward to strike up a conversation with him later, he would definitely expose himself!
The Second Madam brought Dawa to the Third Elder’s courtyard. Before entering the study, a maidservant walked over and said, “Master said that he only wants to see Miss. Please wait outside.”
Wait outside? Did the Nie Manor lack a room to entertain guests or something? This was clearly taking Wen Xu down a notch.
The Third Elder had watched Wen Xu grow up. When he was young, that child was not bad. He was smart, sweet-talking, and likable. If not for that, how could he have agreed to this marriage? However, who knew that Wen Xu would become such a crooked tree ten years later?
The Third Elder hated Wen Xu to death now. When he heard that Wen Xu had brought back a vixen, he was so angry that he couldn’t sleep for three days and three nights. It would be strange if he let Wen Xu enter the house and sit comfortably.
Dawa did not mind. Anyway, he was not a proper young master. So what if he stood? The air outside was still good!
“Don’t walk around. I’ll be out soon,” the Second Madam instructed.
Dawa said, “Don’t worry, I’ll wait for you outside. Don’t be in a hurry to come out. You haven’t seen your father in a long time. Talk to him more.” The Second Madam looked at him and opened her mouth. “Mm.”
The Second Madam entered the study.
Not only had the Third Elder heard about Wen Xu raising a vixen, but he had also heard more than the guests outside. That vixen was not a good person. She relied on bewitching Wen Xu to have designs on the Sorcerer King. It was that vixen who caused His Highness Ye Yang’s disappearance.
Fortunately, the Sorcerer Queen was his biological sister. Otherwise, with the relationship between the two families, the Nie Manor would have been dragged down by his stupid son-in-law!
“Father.” The Second Madam entered the room and bowed to the tall and mighty back that emitted a powerful coldness.
When the Third Elder heard his daughter’s voice, he quickly turned around. He thought that he would see a tired and helpless face, but he did not expect his daughter to look better than ever.
“You…” The Third Elder was slightly stunned.
“How is your health, Father?” The Second Madam asked.
“I’m fine. Have you seen your mother?” The Third Elder came back to his senses and sat down on a chair.
Just like before she got married, the Second Madam brewed a pot of tea for him and said, “I was just about to go when I heard you call me on the way, so I came over to greet you.”
The Third Elder looked at his daughter, whom he had not seen for a long time. She was still thin, but she was energetic. Her eyes were no longer like a pool of stagnant water, but like a flowing clear spring, there was a trace of spiritual energy.
But wasn’t this strange?
Wen Xu had clearly betrayed her like that…
“You…” The Third Elder paused. He still felt that he had to lay one’s cards on the table. “I’ve heard about Wen Xu. Don’t worry, I won’t let that vixen enter the Wen Manor! The Wen family has her but not you. With you but not her!” The Second Madam smiled gently.
“What are you laughing at?” Third Elder looked at his daughter strangely.
The Second Madam handed the brewed tea to the Third Elder and said pleasantly, “That woman is not a vixen, and the child is not Wen Xu’s.” “What?” The Third Elder frowned.
The Second Madam smiled and said, “It’s not Wen Xu’s, so you don’t have to stand up for me.”
The Third Elder said seriously, “Don’t be deceived by him. That kid’s methods of coaxing women are impressive…”
“Uh ah—”
Before he could finish speaking, Dawa’s scream came from the courtyard.
The two of them’s expressions changed. The Third Elder was about to go out and see what had happened when he saw his daughter run out faster than him.
The Third Elder almost suspected that he had seen wrongly. Hadn’t this daughter long given up on Wen Xu? Why was she still so nervous about him? Could it be that… she was really coaxed by that kid’s sweet words?
The father and daughter entered the courtyard one after another, only to see Wen Xu being thrown to the ground by a flirtatious woman. Wen Xu was shocked, and his eyeballs almost popped out. The woman pressed against him had a charming and delicate appearance. Her eyes were fixed, as if she was afraid that she could not seduce him away.
The maidservants at the side stood there awkwvardly. They did not know whether to go forward or not.
“Insolence!” The Second Madam shouted.
When Dawa saw her, it was as if he had seen a straw to save his life. “Madam—I‘
The Second Madam walked over in three steps and pulled the woman who was pressing down on Dawa down. Then, she squatted down and helped him up. Without a word, Dawa hid behind the Second Madam!
That woman was too terrifying!
He had only stood in the courtyard for a while before she walked over to talk to him and even touched him. He wanted to move away, but she refused to let him. When they pulled, he fell down the steps. She pretended to pull him, but she pressed against him.
This was broad daylight!!!
The woman who was pushed away adjusted the pearls at her temples in disdain. The Second Madam blocked Dawa behind her and looked at her coldly. “Auntie, please respect yourself!” Dawa was dumbfounded. This woman was the Second Madam’s aunt?! As if guessing his surprise, the Second Madam whispered, “We’re not biological, they’re from Uncle’s family.”
That… that was also a real aunt! How could she dare to seduce her nephew-in-law?
The Third Elder frowned at the servant. The servant understood and chased the unconscious auntie away.
Dava said in a daze, “I… I originally…”
The Second Madam said, “You seduced my aunt before.”
Dawa: ‘
What kind of dog was this? Why was he having an affair with all the women in the world?!
The Second Madam said, “My aunt is a little silly, but she’s beautiful and young…”
Dawa snorted. “How is she beautiful? She’s not half as good-looking as you!”
The Second Madam turned around with her handkerchief, her face red again.
Third Elder looked at his shy daughter and then at his silly son-in-law. He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that this son-in-law was more pleasing to the eye than before..
