Chapter 950: A heartless and disloyal villain!
"Hey! What nonsense are you spouting?" Liu Ru stood up angrily.
Ni Yang slightly raised her eyebrows and retorted, "Isn’t respecting the elderly and loving the young a traditional Chinese virtue? Isn’t abandoning one’s wife and snatching someone else’s husband heartless? Am I making this up?"
"You don’t understand! My parents had their reasons! They are not heartless people!" Liu Ru couldn’t stand Ni Yang’s sarcastic comments about her parents.
Men, how many are not flirtatious? Having three wives and four concubines is quite normal!
Besides, her dad did not have many women; he was involved with only two in total.
And being born in troubled times, they were involuntary in their actions; why did Ni Yang have to rub salt in the wounds?
Was that satisfying?
Ni Yang smiled faintly and spoke indifferently, "Miss Liu, I didn’t specifically name anyone; why are you in such a hurry to take it personally?"
Throughout, she had not mentioned Jiu Wentang and Liu Qinian at all.
It was Liu Ru who was in a hurry to take it personally.
Stifled, Liu Ru’s face turned red, overwhelmed with anger.
Jiu Wentang turned to look at Liu Ru, his face wearing a smile, seemingly unaffected by Ni Yang’s words.
"Yangyang is truly a clever and clever girl, and so beautiful like a fairy! No wonder my sister likes you so much. Who wouldn’t like such a girl? Unlike our Xiaoru here, honest and simple, clumsy as a bear!"
Honest and simple Liu Ru was no match for Ni Yang.
Even if Ni Yang sold Liu Ru off, Liu Ru wouldn’t know!
Jiu Wentang’s comment was still a hidden jab, potentially deeply wounding.
Unfortunately, Ni Yang wore a coat of armor today and took Jiu Wentang’s praise without hesitation, "Thank you for the compliment, aunty. I think so too."
Jiu Wentang choked; how could she respond to that?
That wretched girl!
She wanted to mock Ni Yang but ended up praising her instead!
Jiu Wentang wished she could slap herself several times. Keep your mouth in check!
Absolutely infuriating!
Zhao Shuyue suppressed the urge to laugh and came out from the inner room with a piece of pure white cloth and handed it to Ni Yang, "Yangyang, I’ve repaired the embroidery you asked me to do; is this alright?"
Though Zhao Shuyue was old, her eyesight was still excellent. She often helped Ni Yang with embroidery and mending, and Ni Yang never refused Zhao Shuyue’s assistance; she even frequently sought her help.
Zhao Shuyue, with her bound feet, couldn’t do heavy chores, and being elderly, lacked the strength, so she mostly engaged in sewing and mending. Ni Yang didn’t want Zhao Shuyue to feel her life had lost its purpose.
So she often sought Zhao Shuyue’s help, allowing her to live a fuller life.
And moderate embroidery, maintaining some mental activity, could also prevent dementia.
Zhao Shuyue was also happy to help Ni Yang; only during embroidery did she truly enjoy life.
Ni Yang looked at the embroidery and saw the lifelike stitches on the white cloth.
The embroidery was exquisitely done.
Zhao Shuyue deserved her reputation as a maiden trained in an affluent household; her embroidery skills were impeccable.
"Grandma Zhao, your embroidery is so beautiful!" Ni Yang praised generously.
Zhao Shuyue smiled, "Not at all, you just like to flatter me."
Ni Yang said, "It’s truly beautiful! I couldn’t learn this craft no matter how many times I tried."
Under Jiu Wentang’s eye signal, Liu Ru came over and said in surprise, "Auntie, at your age, why do you still do such handicraft work? It’s so harmful to the eyes! Why don’t you come back with us? I promise you won’t have to do a thing, we’ll treat you to the best of foods and take good care of you, allowing you to live a life like a fairy."
Ni Yang was really heartless, using Zhao Shuyue’s bracelets and spending Zhao Shuyue’s money, yet still making Zhao Shuyue work for her!
How could there be such shameless people as Ni Yang in this world?
Liu Qinian stood up and said, "Xiaoru is right, this embroidery is too straining on the eyes, it’s not suitable for you. Shuyue, you should come back with us. We have a nanny at home who can take care of you specially. Moreover, it’s not convenient for you in the countryside; if you want to buy something, you have to go to town. We live in the city center now; you can buy whatever you want, eat whatever you want. Besides, the countryside is not as lively as the city! Later, let Xiaoru keep you company in Beijing city center, and then we can all go to Taiwan Island..."
