Chapter 190 Young Master, Aren't You Still Here

Shen Cangfeng paced back and forth behind the door, and he asked Ni Weiyi from time to time, "Why haven't they come out yet?"

Without her grandmother around, Ni Weiyi was much livelier. She said with a grin, "Don't worry, young master. Young madam was so unhappy just now. Grandmother might not be able to make everything ok just as soon as she went!"

She then added, "Furthermore, my grandmother said that young madam had been learning martial arts since her childhood. And Aunt Duanmu only knew the tricks of poisoning someone. How could she beat up young madam? So, young master, please rest assured. Young madam wouldn't suffer losses."

Shen Cangfeng became a little worried when he heard the word "poisoning", so he stopped and said, "Yes, the Eighth Miss of the Duanmu Family is the brilliant disciple of Miracle Doctor Ji. Therefore, she must be proficient in pharmacology, and she should have many medicinal materials in the yard...Changying may stand to lose!" Then he was about to step inside.

Ni Weiyi hurriedly carried her skirt and ran up to him. Then she stretched her arms to stop him and said, "Young master, you can't go in! Young madam just said that she would strip Aunt Duanmu naked. If she really did so, what would you do after seeing that? Do you really ask Aunt Duanmu to enter your backyard? In that way, my grandmother would kill me!"

After all, she was a little girl. She was so anxious that she even forgot to say the honorific word "maidservant".

Shen Cangfeng had developed an imposing manner since he was a child because of his family background. Besides, there was a sharp edge between his brows, which showed his strong vigor. If he wanted to do something, his servants only dared to persuade him, and few people dared to stop him straightly. Last time, he claimed to be the son-in-law of the Wei Family and rushed into Ruiyu Hall. The People of Ruiyu Hall were all frightened by him. They were bewildered and didn't even ask him for a token. Shen Cangfeng just passed all the way to the back hall and was finally stopped by Old Madam Song. Not to mention Ni Weiyi, who stretched her arms impolitely in front of him.

Ni Weiyi was standing in front of Shen Cangfeng with a serious face trying to stop him. Seeing her small size, Shen Cangfeng was in an awkward position, so he said, "Could you go in first and look around?"

Ni Weiyi opened her arms, looked up at him, shook her head earnestly and said, "Grandmother asked me to accompany you here, young master. And she didn't tell me to go in."

"Your grandmother has been accompanying my wife after she got married." Reminded by her, Shen Cangfeng also felt that he should not go in directly, so he said, "Why did you listen to your grandmother instead of me? Go in and look around. Then let me know."

Ni Weiyi hesitated, and her arms drooped slightly. Shen Cangfeng thought that she was wavering. Unexpectedly, Ni Weiyi thought for a while and straightened her arms, then she resolutely said, "If I don't follow my grandmother's words, she will beat me. When my father and mother know it, I'll also be punished. But if I don’t listen to your words, young master, my grandmother and uncles had told me that you were the most generous person. You didn't find faults with those servants whom I should call granny or sister, let alone me."

Shen Cangfeng found her interesting and couldn't help teasing her, "What if I want to find faults with you?"

Ni Weiyi smiled sweetly at him, "I had deliberately praised you for your generosity!"

"..." Shen Cangfeng couldn't help but laugh, and reached out to touch her little head, "Cunning little girl, who taught you this? Granny Huang?"

Ni Weiyi pouted to watch him remove his hand, and muttered, "My second aunt just did up my hair in the morning. Miracle Doctor Grandpa pulled my braid when he saw me. Aunt Duanmu pulled the color ribbon on my head when she came before. Now, young master, you touched it casually again. After a while, when second aunt saw my loosed hair, she would definitely think that it was caused by my playing and jumping. Then, I would have a grievance!"

Shen Cangfeng felt a slightly embarrassed after hearing her words, so he hurriedly coughed twice to conceal it.

Then Ni Weiyi said in a louder voice, "Grandma had no time to teach me! She spent her days hanging around young madam. Miracle Doctor Grandpa taught me this. He said that descendants of distinguished families attached great importance to saving face. Therefore, if I offend someone, I will keep saying something nice and try to smooth things over. I am young. Even though those people are still annoyed, they won't embarrass me on the surface."

Shen Cangfeng had been living in the capital, and he often heard about Ji Qubing's experience over the years. It was not surprising that Ji Qubing hated and ridiculed descendants of the distinguished families. Shen Cangfeng smiled and asked, "What if they embarrass you in private later?"

"As long as I can deal with it on the surface, I'll come back to seek help from Miracle Doctor Grandpa!" Ni Weiyi stuck out her tongue and said with a smile.

Shen Cangfeng continued to embarrass her and smiled, "What if your Miracle Doctor Grandpa can't help you, too?"

This time Ni Weiyi looked at him with strange eyes and said, "Young master, I still have you and young madam, don't I? The Shen Family in Western Liang and the Wei Family in Fengzhou are both top-notch families across the country. Who dare not care about you and young madam?"

Shen Cangfeng seemed to be choked for a second. Looking at him, Ni Weiyi said vigilantly, "Although I am in the Ji Family, I still belong to young madam, and this was written on her dowry list! Young master, are you trying to disown me?"

The maidservants including Qin'ge and Yan'ge, as well as others such as Shen Ju coming here instead of Shen Die who had gone to ask for leave in front of the Guardian Commander, all laughed in secret.

Shen Cangfeng didn't expect that he had involved himself in it when teasing Ni Weiyi. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I recognize you."

"That's it." Ni Weiyi retracted her arms, akimbo with one hand, and made a fist with the other hand. Then she waved for a while, and said with full momentum, "Miracle Doctor Grandpa told me that my master was very powerful, so I shouldn't be afraid of anyone!"

Shen Cangfeng suddenly felt that something was wrong...He pondered for a while and said, "Are you always answering the door here? What kind of people do you associate with?"

Ni Weiyi was serving Ji Qubing here with her uncle and aunt. Ji Qubing seemed to like this little girl, letting her call him Miracle Doctor Grandpa constantly. And he pulled her pigtails for fun. Ji Qubing also got Ni Weiyi's considerable trust, and imbued Ni Weiyi with an idea that she had a strong master as the patron. Ni Weiyi was answering the door in the Ji Family. If anyone came to seek medical treatment, she would meet him. Ni Weiyi counted on her backing and treated the visitors impolitely!

Uh, wasn't it that Ji Qubing was still very grateful for the life-saving grace of the Wei Family? Could it be that Ji Qubing's temper had fallen to the point of repaying virtue with resentment?

He was trying to draw the secret out of Ni Weiyi in order to determine whether it was right for Mrs. Huang to leave such a small granddaughter here to serve, but he heard the sound of footsteps behind the round "moon-gate". He was worried about his wife and stopped teasing Ni Weiyi, then he hurriedly looked up.

At this look, Shen Cangfeng was stunned. He saw Duanmu Xinmiao, who changed into an apricot upper shirt but still held the cloth over her head, looking neither fish nor fowl, and Wei Changying walking out side by side, followed by Mrs. Huang.

To Shen Cangfeng’s surprise, the two who had a fight just now regardless of their decency, one claimed to strip the latter naked, and the other claimed to take advantage of the situation to kill the former, walked together in harmony, even hand in hand, talking and laughing. It was so harmonious that they were like lineal sisters or closest friends!

When they got closer, Duanmu Xinmiao personally offered the wrapped rose tea to Wei Changying and said, "If I had known that Sister Wei didn't like this, I would have changed to another one which you liked. Unfortunately, you couldn't stay longer today. Sister Wei, please forgive me."

"There are only a few of them. No matter how much I don't like it, could it be bitterer than drinking the medicine?" Wei Changying took them with a kind countenance and handed them to Mrs. Huang, then she said, "Sister Duanmu, don't worry! You can count on me." Anyway, Wei Changying couldn't push herself to turn against Duanmu Xinmiao. Therefore, she decided to be a good person and do things well, which would be better than receiving complaining when she already gave things out.

Wei Changying was in confusion and she thought that she would never come to the Ji Family again!

Duanmu Xinmiao's eyes were bright, and she said sweetly, "Then I can wait here. Sister Wei, please remember it. After I finish cleaning up the medicine here for Master, I will visit you soon!"

"Don't worry, and I won't forget it!" Wei Changying nodded. The two exchanged a few more words and waved goodbye. Duanmu Xinmiao's smile was so bright that it could almost compare the summer sun. Shen Cangfeng hadn't paid much attention to this Eighth Miss of the Duanmu Family, but he had heard that she was not a very close person. Not to mention that she had fought with Wei Changying before. Now suddenly she was so attentive, which was suspicious, so he looked at her a few more times.

Unexpectedly, Duanmu Xinmiao noticed him and her pretty face suddenly froze. In front of Wei Changying, Duanmu Xinmiao stood akimbo and shouted fiercely at him, "Shen San! What are you spying on me for! You already had such a good wife. Are you still thinking about chasing after loose women?! In front of Sister Wei, you dare to covet my beauty!"

Wei Changying was also taken aback when Duanmu Xinmiao shouted at him.

"Miss Duanmu, I knew that you had misunderstood my wife quite a bit before. Why are you so solicitous now?" Shen Cangfeng had nothing to be ashamed of and he was not afraid of her blunt questioning, then he said lightly, "My wife had an innocent mind and a good temperament, so I was worried about her being blinded by you. Therefore, I paid attention to you." He was not mean, but Duanmu Xinmiao had asked straightforwardly. Shen Cangfeng couldn't help but ask her in reply, "As far as I am concerned, in front of my wife, you are not good enough in terms of beauty."

Wei Changying couldn't help smiling on the spot...

Duanmu Xinmiao also froze for a moment. Instinctively, she wanted to argue with him who "misunderstood" whom just now, and whether she was considered beautiful. Even if Shen Cangfeng's enlightenment teacher passed away early, he was not ignorant. How could he use "innocent mind and good temperament" to describe Wei Changying who was actually a fierce and vixenish girl. However, she remembered that she had to look to Wei Changying for help now...They seemed to have a good relationship?

After all, Duanmu Xinmiao was a person who was addicted to medicine and pharmacology, so she paid little attention to mundane things. She was too lazy to argue with the son of the Shen Family who was famous for protecting their own people, so she just let it be. It was just that she had a hot temper. She put her hands down, but then she pointed at Shen Cangfeng, and coldly snorted, "What are you worried about? Haven't you heard that no fight, no acquaintance? Sister Wei and I had a misunderstanding before! Now we two had made it clear. What else should you be concerned about? Niggard!"

Shen Cangfeng knew that there must be turns and twists. It was just that Wei Changying didn't give her explanation, so it might be inconvenient to make it public. He did not follow up and just asked Wei Changying, "We had disturbed Miracle Doctor Ji for a long time. Shall we go back?"

Wei Changying nodded. Duanmu Xinmiao leaned over to her again eagerly, pulling her sleeves and whispering, "Sister Wei, you have to be careful with your husband. He was quite popular among the young ladies in the capital and someone might have coveted him. Now he seems to be okay, but who knows if he will be seduced by those women someday? But don’t worry, sister. If you find him disobedient, just send someone over to find me and get the medicine! One dose is enough to make him bleeding to death, then he will definitely not..."

"Sister Duanmu!" The entrance to the yard was so narrow and the surroundings were quiet. Duanmu Xinmiao thought that she was whispering, actually her words had long been heard clearly by everyone. Wei Changying covered Duanmu Xinmiao's mouth in a cold sweat and solemnly said, "You are so considerate to send me here. It’s already far enough. You just picked up the herbs for a long while, which was really laborious! You should go back and rest quickly...I'll help you get the person you want!"

She walked out as she spoke, and she dragged Duanmu Xinmiao to the threshold before stopping, signaling to the crowd to go out first. When everyone except Ni Weiyi went out, she let Duanmu Xinmiao go and said in a hurry, "I'll leave first. You must stay here and don't send me any further!" Before her words died away, Wei Changying had already performed the dodge and disappeared...Anyone could tell Wei Changying's fear of being entangled by Duanmu Xinmiao.

Duanmu Xinmiao wiped her mouth with the kerchief, and said resentfully, "I just thought that after I did you a favor, you would help me a lot if you were happy. Otherwise, who would be so patient and waste the effort of picking herbs to deal with you?"

Ni Weiyi put her hands on her back, standing aside like a little adult. Her bright eyes looked at Duanmu Xinmiao with a grin. Duanmu Xinmiao pretended to hit Ni Weiyi and said, "Little Weiwei, why are you watching me? Just now you saw that your young madam bullied me, but you didn't say something for me!"

"Aunt Duanmu, as you said, that was my young madam. How dare I speak for outsiders in front of her?" Ni Weiyi stuck out her tongue at Duanmu Xinmiao and said with a smile, "Anyway, aunt, you were not cute at all! You just followed my grandmother and called me Weiwei, even adding the word "little". I wouldn't help you!"

"You're bad Weiwei!" Duanmu Xinmiao stomped at Ni Weiyi and said, "At least I had always brought you refreshments when I got here, yet you still treated me like this!"

Ni Weiyi threw up her hands and said, "I had no choice. Grandmother was here and I didn't dare to turn against young madam. Even if you bring me 800 sets of snacks, I dare not eat them without grandma's permission. Therefore, I could only feel sorry for you, Aunt Duanmu!"

Duanmu Xinmiao didn't say anything. Then Ni Weiyi changed her tone and said, "Aunt Duanmu, you are so beautiful. It is said that kindness is beautiful. You are as beautiful as a goddess. How much kindness can result in such a pretty look now? Aunt, you are so kind, and how could you be willing to blame me? You are unwilling to blame me...I will continue to eat the snacks you brought, haha!"

Saying so, Ni Weiyi smiled wickedly, closed the door, clapped her hands, and scampered into the yard.

Duanmu Xinmiao froze for a while, and jumped with anger, "You heartless little thing! Master taught you this to deal with others, but you're putting me off with that trick! If I catch you, I'll put a dozen needles in you!"
