The next morning, two carriages of the Yun family rushed towards the manor outside the city.

Ning Xue and her second brother Ning Qian enjoyed breakfast in the garden.

Ning Xue's personal maid hurried over and slowed down her pace as she approached the two of them. "Miss, I just received news that the Yun family's carriage has left the city gate."

Ning Xue nodded slightly, smiled and said, "Very good, second brother, I will rely on you this time."

Ning Qian stood up and said, "Second brother, have you ever disappointed me? Just wait for good news. I will make that girl surnamed Yun become my cousin's concubine and let her be bullied and played with by others."

Ning Xue nodded in relief and said, "Then I will wait for good news from my second brother."

This time she did not show up, and Yun Shang was expected to be unable to guard against it, and Yun Shang certainly did not know that the manor was the property of their Ning family. If she was not severely taught a lesson this time, wouldn't it be a waste of such good conditions of time, place and people.

Ning Xue watched Ning Qian leave with a smile on her face. She firmly believed that if Yun Shang wanted to escape from the manor unscathed, she would have to suffer at least a lot of losses.

On this side, Shangguan Haoyu received the message sent back by the secret guard.

"That farm is actually the property of the Ning family?"

The boss behind the Xiantao Villa has always been mysterious. In the past, he always thought it was the property of the royal family, so he never investigated it in depth.

Shangguan Haoyu stroked his chin gently, "How did Yun Shang know this?"

Shangguan Haoxuan also stroked his chin, "Could it be that because we are love rivals, you know me so well?"

"Go and investigate thoroughly. If it is really the Ning family's property, we must not let them become too powerful." Shangguan Haoyu ordered in a cold voice.

Shangguan Haoxuan nodded, "Okay, let's go, but big brother, I really need to remind you that your poisoning this time is not simple! They actually sent two secret guards to the side of Yun Shang."

Shangguan Haoyu was silent for a long time before he uttered, "I just want her to owe me a favor."

Shangguan Haoxuan shook his head and said, "Brother, when will you ever let someone owe you a favor? Yes, that woman is indeed a little clever, but she is already engaged. Brother, you wouldn't..."

"You think too much." Shangguan Haoyu coldly interrupted Shangguan Haoxuan's words about staying.

"Well, I hope I'm overthinking it!"

Shangguan Haoxuan walked out of the room angrily and slammed the door.

There are so many good women, but why is he interested in a woman who is engaged and quite pretentious?

Outside the villa, Huo Beixuan had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the Yun family's carriage, he hurriedly went up to greet them.

"uncle and auntie."

He extended his hand to support her, "Beixuan, no need to be so polite."

Yuan Zhiqiu originally thought that his daughter had become sensible, but he did not expect that she had asked Huo Beixuan to come again. He glared at Yun Shang with displeasure, and after a perfunctory response, he turned cold.

Huo Beixuan didn't care and started communicating with Yun's father. Soon, another carriage arrived at the gate of the manor.

A father and son got off the carriage, "Zhongtang, it's Zhongtang, right?"

The old man seemed quite excited.

Yun Zhongtang was also very excited, "Yes! It's me, it turns out to be Wen Li! I haven't seen you for more than ten years, but you haven't changed much."

"No, I'm old. Time is unforgiving."

The two held each other's hands and hugged each other, reminiscing about the past. After a long while, Wen Li introduced his son to Yun Zhongtang.

"This is what my son heard. Come, Xin'er, come and meet your Uncle Yun."

The young man bowed and saluted: "Hello, Uncle Yun."

Yun Zhongtang looked at him with a look of satisfaction on his face: "You have an extraordinary appearance, and you will surely have a bright future."

"No way! I'm just too honest!"

Yun Zhongtang smiled and said, "My son is truly honest. I'll introduce him to you when I have the chance. He was on duty today and couldn't come."

"Come, this is my daughter, Yunshang."

Yun Chang stepped forward and bowed, "Hello, Uncle Wen."

"Well, what a well-behaved and sensible child!"

"Don't you have a daughter?" Yun Zhongtang asked.

"She is married, so she didn't come."

"My daughter is also engaged, and this is her fiancé."

Yun Zhongtang introduced Huo Beixuan to everyone.

Huo Beixuan stepped forward to pay his respects.

Wen Li examined him for a moment and said, "He is indeed a handsome man!"

"Where is Old Chen? Has he arrived?" Yun Zhongtang asked.

"Don't worry, he will definitely come. How can he be absent from such an occasion? It's just that he is always the last one to come. I didn't expect that this habit has not changed after more than ten years."

"Although he is the county magistrate of Jing County, he holds the real power and is still the most outstanding one."

Yun Zhongtang sighed and said that although his official position was higher, his power was rather empty.

"You should be content. We have been envious of you for many years."

While the two were talking, Chen Jianzhong arrived, accompanied by his son, daughter and wife Fang.

"You're finally here. You're always so slow."

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. This is my wife Fang, my son Chen Hongwen, and my daughter Chen Wanqing."

Chen Jianzhong will introduce it to you.

At the gate of the manor, everyone praised each other before entering the manor.

After arranging their rooms, everyone went to the garden to play and pick peaches.

For the sake of his own future, Huo Beixuan has always spared no effort and tried his best to integrate into the three old men, communicate with them, and show his courtesy, completely leaving Yun Shang aside.

Chen Wanqing couldn't stand it anymore and said sarcastically, "Sister's fiancé is really unique. He's not like the one in my family who only revolves around me."

Yun Shang smiled slightly: "As a man, it is common sense to put career first. If you always revolve around women, it will seem a bit like that."

"But this utilitarianism is too strong." Chen Wanqing said sarcastically.

Everyone knew that the three old men were all officials. Chen Wanqing also wanted to ask her fiancé to come along and show up, but was stopped by her father Chen Jianzhong.

Yun Shang just smiled and didn't say anything.

This is a great opportunity to get to know and curry favor with officials, otherwise, why would Huo Beixuan come here?

If he didn't come, and Ning Xue attacked her, she would have to find a scapegoat!

Mrs. Fang and Mrs. He were drinking scented tea and having a pleasant conversation in the pavilion in the garden.

The two young men, Wen Xin and Chen Hongwen, were sharing their experiences of entering officialdom for the first time.

After a round of sarcasm and ridicule between Chen Wanqing and Yun Shang, they fell into a state of relative silence. Chen Wanqing stamped her feet and said, "I'll go pick some peaches."

Yun Shang nodded and responded: "I'm afraid of the sun, sister Wanqing, you can do whatever you want."

Chen Wanqing shook her head, thinking that the young ladies in the capital were just pampered. Then she picked up the basket and led her maid to pick peaches.

Yun Chang thought about it and felt that she had to give the other party a chance to attack, so she took Liu Meir to the orchard in the back mountain for a stroll.

As a result, everyone was safe and sound until lunch time, which puzzled Yun Shang. How could Ning Xue miss such a great opportunity?

Yun Chang carried a fruit basket and came to the pavilion where the two ladies were drinking tea.

"Yun'er, go pick some fruit."

"Well, the peaches are quite sweet." Yun Shang placed the fruit basket on the table and drank tea with the two ladies.
