Chapter 109 Who gave you the face to give birth
Shen Nanqiao rushed to the front yard in a hurry, and before he reached the patio, he bumped into someone's arms at the corner.
She was startled, but before she could be shocked, she smelled a familiar cold fragrance.
"How are you?" Shen Nanqiao hurriedly took two steps back and looked him up and down, "Did anyone take advantage of you?"
Ning Su guessed the general idea at a glance. He smiled and generously comforted the little girl.
"You should be worried about whether other people are okay."
Shen Nanqiao was not a fool, so he naturally had some vague guesses in his mind, but today he was visiting someone and it was also New Year's Day, so there was no reason to cause a scene in someone else's house.
She forced a rather unpleasant smile.
"What does it have to do with me if other people are okay?"
Ning Su was afraid that she might be worried, so he asked this specifically.
"Do you want to say goodbye? You've already met him anyway."
Shen Nanqiao hesitated slightly.
Ning Su should value Master Xia's family very much. If he leaves halfway because of such a small matter, wouldn't that make everyone unhappy?
"No need. We are here to wish the Master a happy new year. Besides, even if we are leaving, we shouldn't leave without saying goodbye, right?"
Most importantly, she didn't want the Xia family mother and daughter to make a fool of themselves.
Retreating without a fight is not the way for the mistress of the house to deal with the situation.
If she left rashly now, Grand Tutor Xia and his wife would certainly ask the reason, but she had no evidence to prove that Madam Xia and her daughter had any ill intentions towards Ning Su.
"It's okay. If you're unhappy, we can just go back." Ning Su didn't care. "Why bother yourself?"
He probably didn't expect that the eldest daughter of the Xia family, whom he had watched grow up, would actually set his sights on him.
If he had helped just now, or if there had been a commotion, given his relationship with the Xia family, he would most likely not have been able to save face.
But if he really wants to marry me, I will definitely refuse.
Just raise your eyelids and look at the angry little girl in front of you. This is enough.
"Isn't she promised to someone else?" Shen Nanqiao clearly remembered that Old Lady Xia mentioned that she was engaged to the Xuan family. "It's just that they have to observe mourning, so they have to wait for two years."
I've waited for more than ten years, can't I wait for two years?
Besides, even if she was Ning Su, she could only be a concubine at most, right?
Is it possible...
"Could it be that she wants to be a co-wife?" Shen Nanqiao's voice broke a little due to his excitement.
After saying this, he felt a little embarrassed and looked around quickly. Seeing that there was no one around, he felt relieved.
It's not surprising. Given the Xia family's background and the fact that she herself is the eldest daughter of a noble family, it's not too much for her to desire a co-wife.
Ning Su shrugged.
"I don't know, she just fell down in front of me."
Shen Nanqiao glared at him unhappily. Ning Su noticed the other party's dissatisfied look and immediately added a sentence.
"It's my fault for possessing a treasure. It has nothing to do with me."
Very good, it is completely clear.
But what he said was indeed right. If Ning Su had had this idea in mind earlier, he would not have waited until today.
Recalling all the strange behaviors of Mrs. Xia today, Shen Nanqiao was almost certain that it was she who planned this.
Moreover, the timing was chosen just right and the work was done carefully enough.
Just like Ning Su said, the other person just "accidentally" fell in front of him.
Fortunately, she had thought that Madam Xia was a good person before. It seemed that her mother had misjudged people and mistook such a person as a sister.
She gritted her teeth.
"The more this is the case, the more I want to stay and see what they are up to."
Ning Su keenly grasped the key words in the words.
"they?"
Shen Nanqiao briefly explained the whole story and ended angrily.
"If I had known, I would have brought back my mother's headgear!"
I didn't realize it before, but this girl is the kind of person who would rather sacrifice her life than her money.
Afraid that she would hold her anger in her heart, Ning Su tried to comfort her again.
"When we go out to East Market Street, you can go to Ruyizhai or Furong Pavilion and buy whatever you want."
Shen Nanqiao snorted.
"You are being so attentive for no reason. Why are you so guilty?"
Ning Su didn't know whether to laugh or cry. At this moment, he truly realized what Master Xia had said before: only villains and women are difficult to raise.
No wonder he has become accustomed to being afraid of his wife over the years. It turns out that this woman is really not someone you can mess with.
But if you marry a wife, you must love her to the end, even if it means you have to kneel down.
"No matter what she planned, she couldn't succeed anyway, so why would she fight with herself?"
Shen Nanqiao's eyebrows raised.
"I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it. You can't assume that you won't be successful every time just because you failed this time!"
Ning Su interrupted Shen Nanqiao directly with a concise and to the point speech.
"Just tell me what you want?"
Shen Nanqiao pondered for a moment and chuckled.
"Of course I'm trying to disgust them!"
Now that things have come to this, there is really no need to delve into the details, but we must not let the other party get away with it.
She affectionately took Ning Su's arm and walked leisurely towards the front yard.
There are not many people in the Xia family and everyone is not particular about food, so they all eat at a large table.
"Girl, come and taste what this worthless dish tastes like..." Master Xia shook his beard, feeling a little regretful and a little relieved.
"The old man has invested a lot of money this time. He picked the tips of his cabbages as soon as they sprouted." Old Mrs. Xia greeted warmly.
Mrs. Xia and Miss Xia came together, and there was no strange expression on either mother or daughter's faces.
Shen Nanqiao took a deep breath. She knew that this was a master of house fighting. In comparison, the wife of Pingyuan Hou seemed a little inferior.
"Father and Madam Lingjun really get along well." Madam Xia smiled gently, as if the scene just now had not happened. "But this child is really lovely, just like her mother."
Shen Nanqiao suppressed the feeling of nausea and smiled as well.
"When my mother was alive, she seldom mentioned Madam. If Madam hadn't taken the initiative to show me the jewelry today, I really wouldn't have known about it." He raised his glass and said, "On behalf of my mother, I toast to you."
The first part of his speech made it clear that he was close to the other party, which seemed impolite. But at the end, he showed the attitude of a junior, which made it impossible to criticize him.
Master Xia glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law and had a feeling that something was wrong.
But as the head of the family, he naturally could not ask about every detail, so he gave orders to his servants.
"Go get some fruit juice, don't let the women get drunk."
"No need." Shen Nanqiao smiled sweetly, with obvious bewitching intent, "I'd also like to toast Sister Xia. I heard that Sister Xia's chosen husband is the most talented man in the capital, Xuan. It's a perfect match."
As she spoke, she picked up the second glass of wine.
There was a slight crack in Miss Xia's perfect expression. After all, she was a young girl, and it was somewhat embarrassing for her little trick to be discovered by the real target.
Ning Su, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly took the cup from her hand.
"I'm taking my wife's place."
As he said this, he poured three cups in a row and drank them all in one gulp.
Ning Changchen has helped many people out of trouble over the years, and his attitude is definitely to protect them.
The old tutor made a joke when he saw this.
"After all, he is married now and knows how to protect his wife."
Ning Su rarely smiled.
"I finally got a wife. If I don't protect her, who else can I protect?"
Miss Xia's hand holding the wine glass clenched involuntarily, and Mrs. Xia patted her thigh under the table with a motherly expression.
"Lingjun's parents are both gone. I'd like to ask you as your eldest sister-in-law, when do you two plan to have children?"
For a moment, the whole room was silent.
Ning Su stood up calmly, ignored Madam Xia, and nodded to Tutor Xia.
"We had a very pleasant conversation today. I will bring her to visit my teacher another day."
Having said that, he took Shen Nanqiao's hand and walked straight out the door.

Shen Nanqiao: My goodness, this is really a conversation that will kill you. The real mother-in-law didn’t even ask, so where did this cheap relative come from to urge me to give birth?
Ning Su: So just leave, why bother giving her face.
