Chapter 476: Chapter 463 The Book Falls

Right, dinner.

He remembered that Chu Jinnian, Chu Jinzhou, and Fan Wenxuan had dinner together initially in peace. Chu Jinnian even seemed to have a smile on his face.

But after the meal, that smile was nowhere to be seen, and his face even seemed to be tinged with green.

It was certain that something unpleasant happened during dinner.

But as he remembered, during the meal, the three of them didn’t chat much about anything besides mentioning Zhuang Jinzhou’s regular meetings with Zhuang Qingsui and Zhuang Mingli for study sessions in Zhuang Qingning’s house, and often encountering a brother named Zhuang Wencheng.

This Zhuang Wencheng seemed to be a local of the village who grew up with Zhuang Qingning, and he takes good care of Zhuang Qingning. Even now that Zhuang Qingning is living a prosperous life, not lacking food or clothing, Zhuang Wencheng often comes to deliver things.

Cooked pancakes, packed dumplings and buns, and freshly harvested vegetables and fruits from the field—whenever he had free time, he would surely make a delivery.

And from what Fan Wenxuan implied, Zhuang Wencheng, despite being a countryman, was very understanding and respectful, humble, and good-hearted. He was an uncommonly simple-natured young man.

But there was nothing wrong with this matter at all.

After all, it’s inevitable that one would admire a person who is good.

In Banqing’s perspective, Fan Wenxuan didn’t say anything wrong.

Could it be…

“Could it be that Mr. Fan’s excessive praise for others has made the eldest son feel that Mr. Fan has neglected the Third Young Master, thus causing his dissatisfaction?”

Yes, it must be so.

Banqing slapped her thigh, “The eldest son has always been very fond of the Third Young Master. It must be because Mr. Fan only notices others that the eldest son feels the Third Young Master has been slighted.”

“This eldest son, he really dotes on the Third Young Master.”

Banqing was truly envious.

“That… probably so,” replied Ning Feng, whose mouth had been wide open for a long time before it closed. “Anyway, it’s too late to talk about this now, it’s better to go and comfort Mr. Fan first.”

If they keep ranting on such “too harsh” and “outrageous” accusations, no one in Qingzhuyuan will get any rest tonight.

“The things you’re holding, Steward Feng, are you planning to give them to Mr. Fan?” Banqing, seeing the food boxes in Ning Feng’s hand, asked.

“Hmm, they’re all cakes that Mr. Fan likes on usual days, I hope he’ll enjoy eating them…”

If he likes eating, his mouth will be full and naturally he won’t have time to complain about Chu Jinnian anymore.

Ning Feng thought so.

“When Mr. Fan is angry, I’m afraid he won’t be pleased with these cakes,” Banqing scratched her head. “But there’s no need to go to so much trouble anyway…”

“You have a solution?” Ning Feng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“All right, let’s give it a try first, it should work.”

Banqing took a few steps forward, cleared her throat, and loudly said,” Eldest son, how come you’re here?”

As soon as the words fell, the furious voice inside the room suddenly stopped.

Not only did it stop abruptly, but even the candle in the room was immediately extinguished, followed by Fan Wenxuan’s voice, “Tell the eldest son, that I am quite tired today and have gone to bed. If there is anything, let’s talk about it early tomorrow.”

“Yes, I’ll tell the eldest son right now. Mr. Fan, please rest early.” Banqing pretended to respond formally, then went to Ning Feng’s side, winked and made a face at him. “See, it works. Steward Feng can have a good night’s sleep tonight.”

Well, like brine tofu, every creature has its match.
