The two took off running, and the kites in their hands slowly floated into the air.

On the other side, Yu Ningyao was already tired from playing, so she simply dismounted and ran back to her mother's arms, letting her mother wipe her sweat, while she ate fruit and watched the servants fly her kite.

Chen Dongxi seized the opportunity and deliberately ran towards Yu Ningyao's kite.

"what--!"

She let out a gasp.

Everyone looked over.

They discovered that the strings of their kites were tangled together.

"What should we do? What should we do?" Chen Dongxi asked in a panic.

But the more she ran around and moved, the tighter the rope became.

The servant in charge of flying Yu Ningyao's paper kite was startled and tried to untie it but was unable to.

Chen Dongxi deliberately pulled hard, breaking both ropes.

Two kites fell from the sky in an instant.

"My kite!"

Yu Ningyao jumped up in anger.

She loved the kite so much, but it was gone in no time.

How could she not be angry?

"Quickly, go and find Yaoyao's kite!" Shen Jinzhu hurriedly ordered her servants to go and search for it.

Chen Dongxi walked back with a guilty look on her face.

"I'm sorry, Yaoyao, I didn't mean to."

"You did that on purpose!" Yu Ningyao glared at her angrily.

What's with this green tea bitch, pretending all day long in front of her?

So many people are flying kites, how come none of theirs get tangled with hers?

Chen Dongxi's face turned pale; she hadn't expected her to say that.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Yu Kangjing: "Uncle Yu, how much did Yaoyao's kite cost? I'll save up and buy her an identical one later."

Yu Ningyao rolled her eyes.

Chen Dongxi must have known that her father wouldn't make her pay, which is why she said that.

As expected, Yu Kangjing said, "Never mind..."

"We can't let it go!" Yu Ningyao interrupted him.

"The kite is mine, not Father's. Father's word doesn't count."

"Uh..." Yu Kangjing was speechless after being rebuked.

He always thought his youngest daughter was very smart, being able to talk so much at such a young age.

But at this moment, he suddenly wished that his youngest daughter wasn't too smart.

She's so clever, even her father doesn't know how to fool her anymore.

"My dear sister Yaoyao, please forgive me. I will make it up to you." Chen Dongxi cried as he looked at Yu Ningyao.

Her crying made Yu Ziying feel a little sorry for her.

He came over to plead on her behalf: "Little sister, Sister Xi'er didn't do it on purpose. The kite is broken, how about I save up some money and buy you another one?"

"No, if I buy another one, it won't be the same one. I want that one." Yu Ningyao burst into tears.

So what if she cries? She can do that too!

As soon as Yu Ningyao started crying, everyone's attention shifted from Chen Dongxi, and they all came over to comfort her.

Everyone came up with all sorts of methods, hoping that Yu Ningyao would stop crying.

Even Yu Ziheng, who had been engrossed in reading a book, and Yu Zicong, who had been squatting on the ground studying plants, came over.

Chen Dongxi felt even more jealous when she saw Yu Ningyao being pampered by her family.

Yu Ningyao cried for a long time, venting her frustration before finally stopping.

Not long after, the servants retrieved the fallen kite.

Unfortunately, the kite was already torn.

I don't know if it was stepped on or scratched by tree branches.

Yu Ningyao looked at her beautiful kite being destroyed, pouted, and was about to cry again.

Shen Jinzhu quickly said, "Oh, my dear baby, don't cry, don't cry. Mother will have someone make you an even bigger and prettier one, okay? I guarantee all the children in the capital will envy you when they see it."

Yu Ningyao hugged her neck, sobbing as she said, "Never mind, it's alright. Mother's money shouldn't be wasted."

Hearing her words, Shen Jinzhu's heart melted, and she wished she could give her all the good things in the world.

"It's not a waste. How can money spent on our precious baby be considered a waste? As long as you're happy, it's no big deal if we buy one and tear it up."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ningyao burst into laughter through her tears.

She burst out laughing at the thought of that scene.

Seeing her smile, everyone else laughed too.

Great, the little rascal has finally calmed down.

Chen Dongxi clenched his fists, his frustration and jealousy growing stronger.

She thought that once she destroyed Yu Ningyao's kite, the matter would be over.

Unexpectedly, Shen Jinzhu doted on her so much that she even wanted to make her a new one.

And so the spring outing came to an end.

Return to the mansion.

Shen Jinzhu called Yu Kangjing aside.

"Husband, why don't we send Xi'er out of the manor?"

Yu Kangjing subconsciously shook his head and refused: "No, I swore before Brother Dahu's body that I would take good care of Xi'er and raise her as my own daughter."

Shen Jinzhu took his hand and explained softly, "I'm not saying I'm not going to care about her anymore. I just feel that this child is too calculating. Even a magnanimous child like Yaoyao can't get along with her. I'm afraid that the two of them will have more and more conflicts in the future."

"They're both my children, and what will you do if they start arguing again like they did today?"

Yu Kangjing was stunned by what she said.

Indeed, it would be very difficult for him to make a fair decision in a situation like today.

Shen Jinzhu continued, "What I mean is to build her a small house near the Marquis's residence, hire a nanny to teach her, and have the servants in the mansion serve her alone. We can visit her every few days, wouldn't that be nice?"

"When she gets married in the future, that house can be given to her as her dowry. We'll have done right by her parents."

Having spent so much time together, Shen Jinzhu had long seen through Chen Dongxi's true colors.

Perhaps because she was still young and couldn't hide her emotions well, she could often sense Chen Dongxi's jealousy towards Yaoyao.

Every time she treated Yaoyao a little better, she would look at Yaoyao with disgust.

The matter of eye contact is something that can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words, so she couldn't tell her husband about it.

After much thought, I still think it's best to send the child away so that she and Yaoyao are separated.

This did persuade Yu Kangjing.

But before he could make up his mind, Chen Dongxi's heart-wrenching cries came from outside the door.

"Waaaaah, Uncle Yu, you promised me you would never kick me out."

"Waaaaah, Father, Uncle Yu doesn't want me anymore. Please come and take Xi'er away."

"No one in this world will ever love Xi'er again. Waaaaah."

Chen Dongxi cried so loudly that she woke up Yu Ningyao, who had just fallen asleep nearby.

Shen Jinzhu never expected that the child would overhear their conversation.

When Yu Kangjing heard Chen Dongxi mention her father, his guilt grew even stronger.

"Don't cry, don't cry, Uncle Yu won't drive you away."

Following behind Chen Dongxi, Agate quickly explained, "Miss Xi'er feels really bad because she broke Miss's kite, so she brought a straw rabbit she made herself to apologize. She said she wanted to give Miss a surprise, and asked us all to keep quiet..."

Agate felt extremely guilty.

Why didn't we stop Miss Xi'er? She overheard the conversation between the Madam and the Master, and now everything is ruined.
