"You're just like that!"
Ling Xiaoxuan continued to rant and accuse Ling Zeheng, jumping up and down.
"I'm going to be with Lin Ning now. I don't want to be with you, this cold-hearted person!"
Ling Zeheng's warm and gentle expression changed slightly, and a sharpness appeared in his deep eyes.
He spoke in a deep voice, "Xiaoxuan, listen to me. It's not safe lately. Stay obediently at home."
"I don't want to!"
Ling Xiaoxuan felt deeply wronged and couldn't bear being in the presence of the man before her.
Just looking at him was painful for her.
Ling Xiaoxuan turned and walked away, resolute in her expression.
The servants didn't dare to stop her.
Ling Zeheng stood up and chased after her, grabbing Ling Xiaoxuan's arm to prevent her from leaving the house.
But Ling Xiaoxuan was not someone to be trifled with.
Over the years, she had honed her skills, and they were quite decent.
Using her other hand, she launched a sneak attack at Ling Zeheng's abdomen. Taking advantage of his bent posture, she freed her restrained arm and turned to run towards the door.
Ignoring the blow to his abdomen, Ling Zeheng caught up with her again.
This time, he no longer held back. After grabbing Ling Xiaoxuan, he swung his hand towards the back of her neck.
Unprepared, Ling Xiaoxuan's body went limp and fell into Ling Zeheng's embrace.
"Young Master Heng!"
The servant's heart ached at the sight.
Hurriedly approaching, they looked at the unconscious Ling Xiaoxuan with deep concern and asked, "Is Miss okay?"
Ling Zeheng's face turned cold, his voice carrying a chilling tone, "She's fine. I'll take her upstairs to rest first. She's not allowed to leave the house these days. Have someone keep an eye on her twenty-four hours."
"I'll arrange it right away."
The servant didn't know why Ling Zeheng was doing this.
But they knew that in this household, Ling Zeheng was the only one who treated Miss well.
Rong Family
The actions of the Hou Family made it difficult for the major aristocratic families to sleep tonight.
The Rong Family was no exception.
Just a while ago, the Rong Family had given a clear response to the Hou Family.
Rong Menglan and Rong Jing, the cousins, stood in the courtyard, feeling the cold wind blowing.
"Brother Lan, do you think the Hou Family will succeed?" Rong Menglan turned his head and looked at his cousin beside him.
A faint smile appeared on Rong Menglan's lips, and his pair of charming eyes glimmered with amusement.
"You should ask how long the Nangong Family will hold on. When the Hou Family makes a move, no family can resist. The Nangong Family is destined not to survive in the capital city."
Rong Jing didn't quite understand all of this, so he blinked and asked, "So, Qin Ruan won't be implicated?"
"The answer is obvious. The downfall of the Nangong Family is inevitable. It's just that the spark that ignited all of this was Qin Ruan. The Hou Family's activation of the A-level operation has already informed everyone of their high regard for Qin Ruan."
Rong Jing seemed to grasp some understanding and said, "So, Qin Ruan's man treats her pretty well."
More than just treating her well, it's evident that they treasure Qin Ruan like a precious treasure.
Letting out a soft sigh, Rong Menglan's gentle and solemn countenance exuded a touch of solemnity.
Qin Ruan was like an unexpected disruption in a meticulously arranged chess game.
Over the years, it was clear to discerning individuals that the Nangong Family was teetering on the edge of self-destruction.
Even within the Rong Family, they had speculated on how far the Nangong Family would go.
They unanimously believed that next year would bring the final verdict for the Nangong Family.
But Qin Ruan's sudden appearance disrupted everything.
She unexpectedly possessed the ability to dismantle the long-planned chessboard, and with a blade in hand, she pointed it at the Nangong Family with an unstoppable momentum.
Xiao Family
Xiao Wenrou got off the car and headed straight for the entrance of her home.
At the doorstep, she saw Liu Jisheng coming out.
"Oh, you're here too," Xiao Wenrou said in a light and airy tone.
Liu Jisheng thought that the Second Miss would still ignore him as she used to.
Suddenly, he heard her speaking to him, and his surprised expression was evident on his face.
"Do you know me, Second Miss?" Liu Jisheng asked with a fearful look.
Xiao Wenrou flicked her hair and looked at Liu Jisheng, her eyes scanning him.
She said meaningfully, "It's difficult not to recognize someone who is by my eldest brother's side."
"I thought..." Liu Jisheng chuckled and awkwardly scratched the back of his head.
Xiao Wenrou understood his hesitation.
With her arms crossed, she narrowed her eyes and slowly spoke, "I saw you at the Night Aristocrat Club last time. How's Madam Hou's temperament? Is she hot-tempered, always resorting to violence at the slightest provocation?"
Liu Jisheng thought for a moment and nodded forcefully.
"Seems like it. After I left the Zhenpin Pavilion with the Eldest Young Master that day, I heard that she gave someone in a private room a severe lesson. It was quite a sight."
Xiao Wenrou smiled, her eyes curving into crescents. "Next time, keep your distance when you see this woman. It's for your own safety."
After saying that, she carried her bag and swayed her waist as she entered the house.
Her demeanor seemed to embody the fragrance of tea once again.
Liu Jisheng turned around and looked at the Second Miss's enchanting figure, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
As Xiao Wenrou entered the house, she saw her father and eldest brother sitting in the hall.
"Dad, Eldest Brother, you're still awake," she greeted.
Xiao Yujie had his legs propped up on the table, crossing them, and holding a plate of fruits in his arms.
As he ate, he accurately discarded the peels into the nearby trash can, with a satisfied expression on his face.
As for Father Xiao, he was wearing reading glasses and earnestly examining the scattered documents on the table.
Upon hearing Xiao Wenrou's voice, the father and son turned their heads simultaneously.
"Wenrou, you're back," Father Xiao said in a cold tone.
Though his attitude was cold, the concern in his eyes dissipated as soon as he saw his daughter return.
Seeing his sister's return, Xiao Yujie got up and placed the fruit plate on the table. He walked briskly toward Xiao Wenrou.
"Let me see if you're injured. You haven't been taken advantage of by that bastard Nangong Chang, have you?" He circled around Xiao Wenrou, inspecting her from all angles.
Xiao Wenrou casually tossed her bag onto the sofa and spoke confidently and proudly, "How could that happen? If he dares to touch me, I'll ruin him and make sure he never becomes a man for the rest of his life!"
"That's the spirit!"
Xiao Yujie raised his thumb in approval towards her.
He held his sister's hand and walked towards Father Xiao, pointing at the documents on the table.
With great pride, he said, "These are part of the Nangong family's assets. The Hou family has allowed us to take over some of their visible businesses."
"Is it that easy?" Xiao Wenrou expressed skepticism.
She couldn't help but feel that it couldn't be that simple.
Xiao Yujie forced a smile, "It's not that simple. When the Nangong family collapses, a new family will rise to power."
He pulled Xiao Wenrou to sit down and gestured with his chin towards their father, who was still examining the documents.
Father Xiao took off his reading glasses and looked at his daughter with a solemn expression.
"Wenrou, the Fu family from the south might be coming."
"The Fu family?" Xiao Wenrou frowned.
The Fu family was one of the most prominent families in the south, akin to local overlords, a dominant force in the region.
The influence of the Fu family extended throughout the entire southern territory, and they were a headache for the higher-ups.
In ancient times, they would be considered as feudal lords.
Xiao Wenrou sensed that things were not going well. If the Fu family arrived, with their substantial capital, they would become the leader among the six aristocratic families.
"Dad, is the information reliable?" Xiao Wenrou asked.
Father Xiao nodded. "It's highly probable."
Xiao Wenrou furrowed her brows and looked at her father. "What do you mean?"
Father Xiao calmly replied, "The Hou family has been taking care of us, but they expect us to show some sincerity. The eldest son of the Fu family is still unmarried."
