Nalan Zhangqian stopped walking too. He was outrageous. “Yi’er, this girl has done too much. She has taken my koi away.”
Qin Yi protected Tang Yin and stood in front of her. She was frowning slightly. “It’s only a koi. When did you become so stingy?”
“That’s right! I just want to cook fish soup for Xiao Qing.”
‘Xiao Qing would definitely love it!
Tang Yin smiled happily and excitedly when she thought of Feng Ruqing’s excitement.
“Did you hear that? Xiao Yin just wants to cook fish soup for Qing’er.” Qin Yi stared at Nalan Zhangqian. “Do you see how sensible she is? You’re always so fierce. What if you scared her? You should learn from her. Take your koi and cook it for your father.”
Nalan Zhangqian was speechless.
Nalan Zhangqian was nervous and he felt wronged. “I spent a fortune on the koi. A fortune!”
Qin Yi snorted. “Xiao Yin, don’t be afraid of this stingy man. Let’s go. Go and cook the fish soup. I’ll ask Dai’er to go to the princess’s manor with you. She’s talking about wanting to meet Qing’er.”
“Fine.”
Tang Yin held the koi in her hand happily. But, she had accidentally used too much of her strength and the koi died from suffocation. 1
“Aunt Qin, the koi is dead.” Tang Yin almost broke into tears. Her eyes were red and she seemed pitiful.
Qin Yi’s soon turned soft. “It’s fine. Go and pick another one.”
Nalan Zhangqian did not know how to respond to that.
At that moment, he only had a thought. A lot of his money was going down the drain.
‘But, my wife adores her. I cannot stop her.
‘Luckily, Qing’er is back. Tang Yin won’t stay long at General Manor. She would not bring a lot of harm to us even if she wants to.’
But, Nalan Zhangqian was not relieved for long. Qing Ling came with carriage and a few bags.
Nalan Zhangqian felt that there was something wrong just by looking at Qing Ling’s action. He asked hesitantly, “Qing Ling, this…”
“General, the princess said that she wants Lady Tang to stay here for a few days more seeing that Lady Tang is quite happy here.”
‘She could have more time to bond with Young Master Nalan.’
Surely, Qing Ling did not say it out loud. Nalan Zhangqian would go crazy if she said that.
Nalan Zhangqian’s facial expression froze. ‘You said that Qing’er wants her to stay at General Manor?”
“Yes, General,” Qing Ling replied respectfully.
Nalan Zhangqian’s lips trembled. He wanted to say something but he did not know what to say.
He turned and saw the kois which were swimming happily in the pond. He also looked at the scenery in the manor.
Somehow, he felt that he could not keep them anymore.
“General!”
An imperial guard rushed in and gave his report. “The lady from the Zhang family, the lady from the Lee family, and also the lady from the Zhao family, they said that…”
Nalan Zhangqian frowned slightly.
Those ladies always had all kinds of reasons and excuses to visit the Nalan family since they knew of the news that his son had broken off his engagement.
At first, he was soft-hearted and he allowed them to enter the Nalan family.
But, those girls had a lot of tricks up their sleeves. They talked with an unusually sweet voice and they always fell down accidentally but surely into Jing’er’s embrace even though they had only stepped on a pebble as tiny as a thumb.
Those girls would surely meet Jing’er if he did not hide fast enough.
In contrast, Tang Yin was more real. She was much better than those girls.
