The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 99

Su Qingcong looked to Qingyan and let out a warm smile, "Fourth sister, you're so nice to me."

Qingyan looked to Qingcong also with a smile. When she looked up to everyone, she spoke with a smile, "Father, mother, go ahead and eat." She attentively placed all the things Qingcong liked into his bowl.

Murong Jingxuan didn't know why he felt a motherly glow coming from Qingyan. He knew he shouldn't be getting this kind of feeling from a young girl like her, but the girl in front of him unwittingly made him feel that way, like it was impossible to get rid of this feeling.

"I really didn't expect that Yan'er would be taken care of by Deng yiniang this whole time." Luo Bing looked to Deng Yan with a smile on her face. She'd always felt that there was a reason why Qingyan liked Su Qingcong, and that reason was most likely because Deng Yan had been looking after Qingyan.

"That's right, mother." Qingyan said with a smile, "Deng yiniang treats me really well, just like her own daughter. When second aunt and third aunt are mean to me, it's always Deng yiniang that shields me."

Deng Yan never thought that Qingyan would describe their relationship as such. She'd always assumed that Qingyan regarded her as an ally. Yet, she'd never thought that Qingyan had taken so much into consideration for her.

When she thought of this, Deng Yan lifted her head towards Luo Bing and Su Yun with a smile, "There's not much I can do. I'm only a concubine, I can't give the fourth miss anything."

Towards her reply, Qingyan curled her lips in satisfaction. "Father, mother, in the future let's get along with Deng yiniang lots, how about it? Moreover, I like Cong'er very much." Qingyan looked to Su Yun and Luo Bing with an eager look.

Seeing the satisfied smile on Qingyan's face, Luo Bing and Su Yun nodded.

"Cong'er, from now on, you can often come to big sister's yard!" Qingyan looked up to Su Qingcong with a smile, "Fifth sister can come too. I have lots of good books here. I can lend them all too fifth sister."

Hearing Qingyan say this, Luo Bing just knew Qingyan hasn't been living well in the manor. Perhaps in these three years, she simply never made any friends, and Ning Siyao and Chai Yiyun didn't tell them the truth of the matter either.

This kind of Qingyan seemed lovable, but it was the most heartbreaking for them as well. This was their daughter.

While eating, Qingyan continuously stared off into the near distance, as if she was observing something. She also reflexively tapped on the table; that feeling felt as if she knew something was going to happen.

"Ahhhh!" Suddenly, from nearby came a sharp cry. Soon after, subsequent screams sounded.

Qingyan amusingly smiled, "Father, mother, could something have happened? I recall that's the direction of second aunt's yard."

Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to Murong Jingxuan, fully amused. And he too glanced back at Xuanyuan Yuzhen with a delighted smile.

However, the show has already begun.

"Daddy, you just got back, could something have happened to second aunt again? How about we go take a look?" Qingyan swayed Su Yun's hand, beaming a smile at him, as she spoke.

Su Yun looked to Qingyan's gaze and nodded with a smile, "Alright, we'll do as our Yan'er says."

Meanwhile, Ning Siyao was busy killing off the scorpions that had crawled out from who knows where, and there seemed to be other bugs as well.

Su Ming never would have thought that he would see such a disgusting scene in Ning Siyao's yard. He originally wanted to turn and leave, but all those scorpions scattered about, crawling towards them. They simply weren't able to avoid in time.
