Everyone in the room was startled . They had all seen what had just happened . Although some of Nie Sangyu’s words had been a bit too sharp, she had been lightly smiling the entire time . At the end, she had presented Chen-s.h.i.+ with tea . Unexpectedly, Chen-s.h.i.+ had been the one that was utterly fl.u.s.tered and exasperated and pushed away Nie Sangyu’s tea .
A person had just entered through the doorway at this time and the fragments of the cup lightly landed on the corner of his azure robe .
Chen-s.h.i.+ raised her eyes to look at the person in the doorway . Shocked by what she saw, she hurriedly stood up and saluted, “Old Master . ”
Nie Xiangyuan had even previously said that he would be coming by soon . How could she have forgotten and lost her self-control? Chen Suqin somewhat nervously looked at Nie Xiangyuan’s expression . He always sided and protected Nie Sangyu . She was afraid that the image of a warm, caring mother that she had worked so hard to establish was completely destroyed . Nie Sangyu’s biological mother, Chen Suxin, was Nie Xiangyuan’s original wife . She and Chen Suqing had married into Nie Clan together, but she hadn’t
been able to become pregnant . After Chen Suqin gave birth to Nie Qingyun, Chen Suxin had only given birth to one child, Nie Sangyu . However, Chen Suxin had lost too much blood while giving birth and died just like that . Despite this, Chen Suqing knew that Nie Xiangyun loved her older sister the most even after all these years .
Thinking of these memories, she despised Nie Sangyu even more .
“Why was there such a loud disturbance without rhyme or reason?” Nie Xiangyuan’s face was very gentle . Although he was a general, he had a scholar’s refinement . However, when he was angry, his eyes were terrifying and no one dared to directly look at him, just like right now .
Ji Man obediently kneeled down to salute, “Daughter respectfully greets father . ”
“It’s so rare for you to come back . ” Nie Xiangyuan’s expression was gentle as he patted Nie Sangyu’s shoulder . Seeing that her fingers were slightly red from being scalded, his brow furrowed and he looked at Chen-s.h.i.+ as he said, “Are you really this petty and intolerant?”
Chen-s.h.i.+ was so scared that her face turned deathly pale . Standing at the side, she quietly said, “Old Master, this servant didn’t do that intentionally…”
“Father, you don’t need to blame mother . ”
” Ji Man took over the conversation and obediently said, “Mother probably loves father too much and that’s why she can’t tolerate Sangyu . It’s fine . Sangyu only comes back once or twice a year and can tolerate the occasionally grievance . ”
Although these words sounded magnanimous, Ji Man had deliberately said these words to file a complaint . From the memories she had gotten from Nie Sangyu, Chen-s.h.i.+ hadn’t just slightly mistreated her . Behind Nie Qingyun’s back, she had been treated the same way as a concubine’s daughter . In addition, every time Sangyu went out with Qingyun, Chen-s.h.i.+ would tell the honored concubines that she had no sense of shame and was out seducing men at such a young age .
Anyways, Ji Man absolutely disliked Chen-s.h.i.+ . She was narrow-minded and often said sharp and unkind words . Fortunately, Nie Qingyun wasn’t close to his mother and hadn’t been influenced by her .
