Xie Jianshu shouted angrily: "No!"

As he said that, he raised his fist and punched towards Zhan Xuan.

The two men fought, neither giving in.

Ye Li was so frightened that his face turned pale. He shouted anxiously: "You two, quickly separate! What are you fighting about? Aren't you good brothers?"

Xie Jianshu shouted angrily: "I don't have such a good brother. I want to break up with him!"

Zhan Xuan was also annoyed and punched his nose with his clenched fist.

When Lin Yiwan was called over by Zhan Miao, Xie Jianshu's face was completely unsightly, bruised and swollen, and even his eyes had become slits.

Apart from a black eye, Zhan Xuan hadn't changed much.

He was still furious: "You just wanted to fly your kite. Why are you so stingy?"

Xie Jianshu opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. Instead, Zhan Miao squeezed his head out and asked, "What kite?"

Zhan Xuan replied: "It's just like a dragonfly kite!"

Zhan Miao whispered, "That's not right. Wasn't it originally given to Sister Qing Ning? How did it end up in Xie Xiaoshu's hands?"

Zhan Xuan was stunned for a moment, and after a moment he looked at Xie Jianshu with some guilt.

He murmured in grief: "Qing Ning returned the kite to me!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran away quickly.

Lin Yiwan raised her hand and patted Zhan Xuan on the back: "Look at you, you can't even tell whether your good brother is in a good mood or not. Why don't you go and apologize to him?"

Zhan Xuan didn't dare to hesitate and chased after him immediately.

At this time, Zhan Miao asked cautiously: "Mom, did my sister have a fight with Xie Xiaoshu? Why didn't she want the kite he gave her?"

Lin Yiwan comforted her: "Your sister is trying to avoid suspicion. She is already grown up and can't just accept gifts from men!"

Zhan Miao stuck out his tongue and said, "Then I'd rather not grow up. It would be so nice to receive gifts. The butterfly kite made by Xie Xiaoshu is very beautiful and can fly very high!"

Lin Yiwan said softly, "Then go and have fun. I'll go see your sister Qing Ning!"

When she came to Zhan Qingning's yard, she saw a hint of worry between her brows. Obviously, she had also heard about the fight between Zhan Xuan and Xie Jianshu.

She spoke a little uneasily: "Mother, are Brother Xuan and Master Xie okay? Is it because of me? I'm sorry, I didn't want this to happen!"

Lin Yiwan quickly held her hand and comforted her: "Don't cry, Mother doesn't blame you, you did the right thing. Since you don't want to be involved with him, then just say no. If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences!"

Zhan Qingning wiped away her tears stubbornly: "I have no intention of getting married yet. I just want to work hard for my mother and take care of my sister!"

Lin Yiwan nodded. "I understand. I'll explain this to Xie Xiaoshu's mother. She said she wanted to give you a gift the other day, so I brought it to you this time. See if you like it!"

After saying that, she took out a brocade box from her sleeve and stuffed it into Zhan Qingning's hand.

"What is this?" she asked nervously.

Lin Yiwan lowered her eyes and chuckled, "Open it and take a look!"

Zhan Qingning reached out to open it and saw a land deed inside.

After seeing the handwriting clearly, she widened her eyes in shock. "Mother, you actually gave me the hot spring villa on the outskirts of the city? How can this be possible?"

Lin Yiwan raised her eyebrows: "Why not? You are my daughter, who else should I give my inheritance to if not you?"

Zhan Qingning was shocked. She knew better than anyone how popular hot spring villas were nowadays. Even if you had money, you couldn't buy one.

Although she called Lin Yiwan mother, she was very self-aware.

To put it nicely, her identity is an adopted daughter, but to put it bluntly, she is just a guest who depends on the mansion of Marquis Zhan Yi.

How could she get such a valuable gift?

She must not have it!

She quickly declined: "Qing Ning thanks you for your love, but this gift is so valuable that I dare not even think about it. I beg you to leave it to my younger brothers and sisters!"

Lin Yiwan frowned and said, "Qing Ning, are you worried about something? Even now, do you still feel like an outsider in the Zhan Yi Marquis's residence?"

Zhan Qingning knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "Mother, I am already grateful that you can shelter me from the wind and rain. How can I dare to expect anything more?"

Lin Yiwan reached out and pulled her up: "You should expect this. You paid a lot in the Zhan Yihou Mansion, but it's just a hot spring villa, and you still don't dare to ask for it?"

Zhan Qingning wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Lin Yiwan: "Unless you want to recognize me as your mother again, otherwise, you will keep the deed!"

Zhan Qingning could only nod: "Thank you, mother!"

Lin Yiwan gently warned, "Don't worry about Xie Jianshu's matter. I will take care of it. Also, when you go out again, bring more people with you. That fake monk who did evil in the palace has escaped. Who knows where he's hiding now!"

Zhan Qingning's heart moved. Could it be the person she met before?

But he clearly has hair.

Seeing her worried look, Lin Yiwan couldn't help but ask, "Qing Ning, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"

Zhan Qingning quickly shook her head: "No, Qingning will listen to mother's words and take more people out of the house in the future!"

Lin Yiwan nodded, then turned around and left quickly.

Zhan Qingning had just returned to the house when the gatekeeper came in to report, "Miss, someone has sent you a letter!"

Zhan Qingning opened it suspiciously, only to see four words written on it: "Inside Wutong Lane!"

She froze suddenly. Wutong Lane, wasn't that where she and her mother lived?

How did he find the way there?

She didn't hesitate any longer and immediately led her people out of the house.

When she arrived at Wutong Lane, her heart began to tighten.

When I revisit an old place, I always feel a little nervous and timid.

When she came into the yard, she saw him standing under the eaves. His handsome, white face made her feel dazed for a moment.

He was the first to speak: "Are you back? Do you feel any changes in this yard?"

Zhan Qingning clenched her fists tightly. She must not let this strange boy take the initiative. She should not be led by him.

She didn't answer but asked, "What is your intention in approaching me?"

The young man sneered: "You misunderstood, I really don't have any plans for you, I just feel sorry for you, think you are accepting the thief as your mother, and want to wake you up!"

Zhan Qingning interrupted with an unpleasant expression: "Don't slander my mother. She is an upright and kind person. This is a fact known to everyone!"

The young man leaned closer to her and said, "My words don't count, but you should listen to what your mother has to say. To be honest, I'm a psychic. I can see the souls of the dead who can't dissipate in this world. They linger because they feel resentful and unfair!"

Zhan Qingning was shocked all over. She knew that the person in front of her was lying, but she couldn't move away at all.
