Chapter 217 The Infamous Young Lady 5
Ni Qing searched the entire mansion, but couldn't find a trace of him. In fact, Bai Guanqing didn't appear for more than half a month.
The plot didn't describe this aspect, leaving her at a loss for what to do. However, based on her intuition, Bai Guanqing should still be in the mansion, because he would definitely be angry with the female lead, He Yingyue.
After searching a few times, she gave up and went back to sleep on the chair. This body was eighteen years old this year, still a young girl who had just come of age in modern society.
I started drinking heavily and staying up late a few years ago, and my body couldn't take it anymore. I get low blood sugar after just a little exercise, and my eyes are so sleepy I can't keep them open.
Even so, in the eyes of the common people, she was already an old woman. Here, 18 years old is equivalent to 30 in real life.
Ni Qing disliked the custom of rushing to get married at the age of fifteen.
Fortunately, the original owner was a villain and no one wanted her yet, otherwise she would have to deal with her husband, which would be so painful.
After another half month of this listless existence, movement finally came from the gate of the manor. A young girl, dressed in a white gauze dress, lay comfortably and languidly on a soft couch in the courtyard.
The folding fan in his hand was also unfolded to block out the sunlight.
The commotion at the door grew closer, but Ni Qing continued to calmly fan herself with her folding fan. The female lead had finally remembered the male lead. In the original story, the female lead was distracted by other matters after returning home and forgot about him.
For a short time, I didn't recall that a bodyguard had been kidnapped by the richest man's incompetent son. On one occasion, Mr. He mentioned that his bodyguard hadn't shown up for days, which he found strange.
She just remembered.
But she dared not tell her father directly that he had given away his most trusted right-hand women to the most lustful and incompetent woman in the world.
He could only lie and say that Bai Guanqing had gone to take care of other matters and would be back soon. General He was skeptical, but subconsciously he felt that his daughter wouldn't lie, so he let it go for the time being.
That's why we're in this situation now, with He Yingyue arriving with her servants to demand the person back. The original owner's parents had just returned this morning, and she arrived right after, so the timing was perfect.
As expected, the anxious and impatient sounds at the door gradually subsided, presumably because Ni Qing's parents, the richest man in the country, had come forward.
After a while, the sound of scattered footsteps approached. A large group of people arrived in her courtyard, especially her mother, who was furious: "Well, well, you've really gone too far while we've been away!"
She never thought highly of her eldest daughter, who was known for her womanizing. They had come back so travel-worn, and before they could even have a sip of hot tea, they were forced to clean up the mess she had made.
I should have just thrown her into the pond and drowned her when she married into the family.
Ni Qing's current mother is named Gu Caiyun, and she is a stepmother. Her biological mother gave birth to her in winter and, lacking experience, caught a cold and died soon after.
No wealthy and powerful man dislikes sex. He married another woman before his daughter was even a month old, completely ignoring the original owner of the body.
Gu Caiyun's face was still covered with fatigue and crow's feet, but she was still burning with anger. She glanced around the room, which was dark and quiet.
Fortunately, I didn't see any wild men, otherwise I would have skinned the general's daughter alive in front of her today.
It's one thing to play around normally, but to steal from the guards in the General's Palace is extremely despicable.
He Yingyue crossed her arms, watching the spectacle with amusement. But where was her taciturn bodyguard? Could he have already been…?
Ni Qing moved the folding fan aside, and the blinding sunlight made her vision go black for a moment. It took several seconds for her to feel better.
"What does this mean, stepmother? I don't understand." Although Ni Qing was lying down, her eyes were smiling, and even though she was inferior, her aura was not diminished in the slightest.
With ease.
Gu Caiyun was so angry at the word "stepmother" that she almost flew into a rage. She had never treated this brat badly, and she always called her "stepmother" as if she wanted to remind her of her birth at all times.
Who would like a child like that?
Seeing that the time was right, He Yingyue began to act as a peacemaker: "Please don't be angry. I believe that Miss Ni's actions were unintentional and that it was all a misunderstanding. You don't need to blame her too much. As long as she is willing to release the person, we will not pursue the matter."
"Oh~" the girl in white exclaimed dramatically, "You mean that guard who can't speak? Why didn't you come sooner?" She laughed sweetly, her soft voice sending chills down one's spine in the wind.
"He's long dead, and might have been reborn into a good family. Miss He, you should go back as soon as possible. If you're worried, you can choose any man you like from my side."
Ni Qing was indeed not flustered, because in the plot, Bai Guanqing despised the original owner's debauchery and immorality, so when He Yingyue came late to ask for her return, he finally showed up.
Once that time comes, the male lead will go back with the female lead. Even if he's furious, he doesn't want to stay here and be among the male concubines.
He Yingyue subconsciously believed her nonsense, after all, given her character, it wasn't impossible for her to do such a thing.
But she couldn't explain herself: "Miss Ni, please stop joking. This guard is my father's servant. I've had some affection for him since I was a child. Please release him."
Ni Qing scoffed and fell silent, seemingly not taking her seriously at all.
In reality, Ni Qing was already giving it her heart.
Holy crap, why isn't the male lead showing up yet?
She could vaguely sense someone watching her from the shadows, but the other person refused to come out. If he didn't show himself soon, he wouldn't be able to get home today, and everyone would really think he was dead.
Ni Qing was inwardly agitated, but outwardly remained calm.
