Chapter 1963 - 137: That Scheming Old Hag
Yue Ning’s personality seems reckless, but he has become more shrewd through tempering.
As soon as he entered, his heart skipped a beat. Then, he snorted harshly.
He’d long known that this old hag was up to no good; calling him over this time, she must have had bad intentions. Though he didn’t know the specifics, seeing the old hag’s complacent look, he thought she surely meant no good.
After entering, Yue Ning plopped down and asked roughly, "Come on, what is it? Don’t waste my precious time."
The Second Elder’s eyelid twitched.
Since Yue Ning was brought to the Qin family, the Second Elder had interacted with Yue Ning several times.
She felt Yue Ning was like a hedgehog, prickly to touch.
So the Second Elder genuinely didn’t want to face Yue Ning unless necessary, simply because the man was too rude, ignorant of manners.
"Child, I’m doing this for your good. Yan family has a bit of an issue, and your marriage with Yan Xiyu might need to change."
"Second Aunt?"
Upon hearing this title, Yue Ning frowned in disgust.
Among the elders, Yue Ning only acknowledged Old Lady Qin.
First, because they had developed a genuine grandparent-grandchild bond, he truly respected and loved the old lady as his elder; secondly, due to Sixth Brother Yixuan, whose influence led him to care for those Yixuan cared about.
As for the Second Elder, daring to call herself Second Aunt?
Yue Ning chuckled coldly.
"You’ve always been scheming since you came to the Qin family. I’ve been wondering, what benefit do you get from arranging this marriage with the Yan family?"
Yue Ning looked sideways at the Second Elder, who flinched.
This matter was indeed hard to explain.
Yan Xiyu was an imposter, not of Yan family blood.
And this, due to a coincidence, the Second Elder had inadvertently discovered.
Earlier, the marriage was arranged because the Qin family was about to cooperate with the Yan family. The Yan Family Master wanted to secure protection for Yan Xiyu, hoping that when she passes, the Qin family would, due to the marital tie, protect Yan Xiyu.
Meanwhile, the Second Elder wanted to use the marriage to irk Old Lady Qin.
On the surface, the marriage seemed beneficial for the Young Master, but once Yan Xiyu’s identity was uncovered, her future would be bleak; if they married, the Qin family’s Young Master would surely be implicated by Yan Xiyu.
The Second Elder was afraid that Young Master Qin Xuan might choose a better marriage in the future to her disadvantage, so she wanted to act first.
Now, with Yue Ning exposing her intentions, the Second Elder looked somewhat dismayed.
"Why are you so tactless, child? I’ve already said, it’s for your own good."
Yue Ning laughed.
"And who do you think you are, calling yourself aunt?"
The Liang family brothers only recognize one grandmother, Old Lady Qin. As for the Second Elder, as Yue Ning put it, just an old hag, what kind of aunt? This scheming old woman, does she deserve it?
The Second Elder slightly clenched her palm, and the situation could be summed up in Dong Huiying’s words.
So infuriating, yet keeping a smile!
"Child, listen to your aunt’s advice. The Yan family is a good family, and you’re not getting any younger. Regarding those city rumors, you must have heard a bit. If you marry the Yan family’s daughter, you’ll save yourself from being gossiped about."
