"Tsk, how shameless! An adopted daughter actually has the nerve to come here and rob the property..."
"That's right! You are so shameless!"
"This wild girl is very different now. Didn't you see the clothes she's wearing? They're very popular these days, and they're very expensive. She even drives a BMW! She has a vixen face, and I don't know which old man keeps her!"
"What on earth is the master thinking? He already has such a great granddaughter like Miss Xueluo, but he still insists on adopting a country bumpkin!"
…
—"It's a pleasant chat! Who do you think is a country bumpkin? Hmm?"
Just when a group of servants were gossiping excitedly, a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Everyone was startled and subconsciously turned around to look behind them.
"A bunch of servants gossiping about their master. Is this the quality of the Ning family's servants?" The person who spoke was a woman who looked to be about 30 or 40 years old, with short hair, a champagne-colored suit, and a shrewd and capable face. She looked like a strong woman.
Ning Qiutong, the cousin of Ning Yaohua and Ning Yaobang, left home at an early age and made her way in a foreign country on her own. It is said that she has a big business now and has married well. She has not been back for many years, but because she is doing well, naturally people are concerned about her. The servants who have worked in the family for a long time also know the existence of such a person.
So, even though I hadn't seen him for many years, I immediately recognized him when I saw his aura.
"I... we are talking about Miss Xi, not Miss Xueluo..."
"Yes, yes, yes! We are talking about that country girl!"
…
The person in front of them was not someone to be trifled with, so a group of servants hurriedly began to explain.
Ning Qiutong swept her gaze across the crowd with a mocking look, the coldness on her lips deepened, "Oh, if you were talking about Ning Xueluo, why would I scold you!"
This house is getting worse and worse, with a bunch of servants who can't even tell the real masters from the real masters!
If her uncle hadn't called her several times to urge her to come back, she really wouldn't have wanted to come back this time.
"Miss Zhen... she... what does she mean? What does she mean that if we are talking about Miss Xueluo, she won't scold us?"
“Who knows?”
"In fact, I noticed that Ning Qiutong didn't seem to like Miss Xueluo that much. I really couldn't figure out what Miss Xueluo had done to provoke her..."
…
The servants began to mutter and discuss the legendary life of Ning Qiutong, who had lived abroad for many years and was capable of marrying well.
…
Study upstairs.
When Ning Xi walked in, everyone else had already arrived early, including Ning Yaohua, Zhuang Lingyu, Ning Xueluo, Ning Yaobang, Ning Tianxin, and even Su Yan.
"Xiao Xi is here, come to grandpa quickly!" As soon as the old man saw Ning Xi, his originally solemn and dignified face immediately smiled.
Ning Xi put on peach blossom makeup today, and wore a dress that was youthful and lively, full of the breath of spring. The old man saw that the child looked good and was obviously doing well, and even his mood became much happier.
Ignoring the cold looks cast at her, Ning Xi also walked up to her grandfather with a smile, "Grandpa, are you feeling okay? How are you taking the medicine I prescribed for you last time? Is it working?"
When the old man heard this, he immediately said excitedly, "Hey, I was just about to tell you that the Chinese medicine you prescribed for me, Xiaoxi, is really good! After taking two doses, my head doesn't hurt anymore, my eyes aren't blurry, I don't sweat when I sleep at night, and I have more energy to walk! Look, let me take a few steps to show you!"
