“My cousin is well-educated; he wouldn’t do something like this. Anyone who does such a thing must be a malicious person. I’m asking my uncle to stand up for me and find the person behind this. I heard… that servant said he was having an affair with me. I want my uncle to bring that servant over so we can confront him face to face. I also hope my uncle will have pity on Qingyou; she’s being bullied like this even though she has no parents!”

As Qingyou spoke, her eyes welled up with tears, which rolled down her cheeks.

Looking at Ye Qingyou's expression, Ning Lie felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.

Ye Qingyou bears a striking resemblance to her mother, and at this moment, looking at Qingyou like this, Ning Lie even thought of what Ning Shi had told him about Qingyou and the servant.

He didn't think about the strangeness of it, nor did he ask anyone to check it out. He just felt ashamed and immediately handed it over to Ning Shi to deal with.

At this moment, I feel a deep sense of embarrassment.

"uncle……"

Ye Qingyou called his name again.

Ning Lie felt extremely guilty at this moment. After Ye Qingyou called out to him, he was even more determined to help Ye Qingyou properly.

"Don't worry, this uncle will definitely not stand up for you, and naturally he won't let those wicked servants bully you."

Ning Lie sat down and ordered someone to bring the steward and his family over.

Ning stood to one side, her head slightly lowered, her eyes flashing with hesitation.

"Grandmother, Father, Mother...Cousin..."

At this moment, Ning Jinyan walked in and bowed to everyone.

"Ok!"

Ning Lie responded first.

"Grandma, are you feeling any better?"

Ning Jinyan had just left here not long ago, and seeing his grandmother sitting here in good spirits, he immediately went to her side.

"much better!"

Looking at her beloved grandson, Old Madam Ning nodded lovingly.

"Now that Grandma is better, I have something I want to say!"

Ning Jinyan glanced at Ye Qingyou, who was standing to the side.

"Your grandma is feeling better, so don't say anything and upset her!"

Seeing Ning Jinyan's expression, Ning Shi immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Let the child say what he/she really wants to say!"

Ning Lie narrowed his eyes, signaling Ning Jinyan that he could speak.

The old lady also glanced at Ning Shi with displeasure.

Under the watchful eyes of the two people, Ning dared not say another word and quickly fell silent, standing to the side.

Ning Jinyan walked up to Ye Qingyou and knelt down in front of Ning Lie.

He first respectfully kowtowed, saying, "I am deeply in love with my cousin and wish to ask my father for his permission!"

"no!"

Before Ning Lie could even begin, Ning Shi loudly reprimanded him from the side.

"Why not!?"

Ning Jinyan looked up at the Ning family.

"Your cousin has ties to Ning Er, how can you get involved!"

Ning frowned, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.

"Please watch your words, Auntie!"

Ye Qingyou's cold gaze swept over them.

Actually, even if her whole family agreed, she still wouldn't agree.

After all, she wanted to destroy the Ning family if she married Ning Jinyan.

In this world, there are no secrets that can be kept hidden. If you're not discovered, that's fine, but if you are... well, that's another story.

It would be better not to get involved in the first place.
