Chapter 60.2: Coincidental Encounter
With that, when Yu Xiao Ning heard those words, she was so astounded that she was not even piqued when presented with the chance to earn money but had just stared blankly at the man who was a perfect copy of a refined scholar before the table. She wouldn't have said it, but when he became serious, he really had a little bit of the flair of a noble young master. Although he was always up to anomalous antics, but he had received proper schooling and was well learned.
"Third Brother, tell me good and proper now. What kind of huge setback did you come to suffer? Or have you been possessed by some sort of devilry?" Yu Xiao Ning then stretched her hand out worriedly to feel his forehead.
"Shoo shoo shoo, go to the side and play. Don't come disturb me here." Yu Jing Zhuo smacked her hand away and said impatiently.
Yu Xiao Ning blinked her large lively eyes, her face sly. "Tell me whether it is because you lost a bet to that Mo Fei Ran fella with the penalty being that you have to shut yourself in to self reflect, and you're not to go pleasure seeking outside?"
Yu Jing Zhuo was tickled into laughter by those words. "That guy? This lord here has never lost a bet."
"Then why?" Yu Xiao Ning asked with a scornful glance at him. "If you had not lost a bet that forced you suddenly to change so suddenly, don't tell me that spring has come in your life and you've found the one?"
Thinking about it, it was not possible at all you know? Her elder brother was too big a playboy.
Who would have guessed that the moment those words left her mouth, Yu Jing Zhuo's expression became startled and he murmured: "Is it that obvious….."
It had just been a blind and wild stab and she had gotten it right! ?
"You you you….. tell me the whole truth now. Which family's young lady are you thinking of harming! ?" Xu Xiao Ning's pair of almond shaped eyes were wide, as she questioned aggressively.
"What do you mean by harming? It is called meeting the right person alright! ?" Yu Jing Zhuo looked at her with a sideways glance and then seeming to have thought of something, the corner of his lips lifted up in a smile. The way Yu Xiao Ning saw it, the smile looked incredibly sheepish. "Ning Ning, if you are to see the lady, I think you will be even more astound than me!"
"What? She's someone I know?" Yu Xiao Ning arched up an eyebrow to ask.
"I don't know if you know her, but she is of one family with your best friend, Princess Ning Feng though." Yu Jing Zhuo slowly revealed that fact.
"A lady from the Eternal Peace Duke Manor?" Yu Xiao Ning blinked her eyes. "Based on my knowledge, there is a total of five young ladies in the Eternal Peace Duke Manor. Besides Little Ning, the other ones who possessed rather good looks would be Yan Xi Rou and Yan Xi Wu. The Fifth Young Miss is sickly and has never stepped out through their doors before. The last one is still very young, just past ten years of age. So, can Third Brother tell me which one caught your eye?"
"None of them." Yu Jing Zhuo shook his head.
"Could you have possibly grown fond of a servant maid in there? !" Yu Xiao Ning exclaimed, highly frustrated.
Yu Jing Zhuo rolled his eyes at her. "What a joke. Will someone Yan Xi Cheng has personally introduced as his sister be a servant maid? If you don't believe me, I'll bring you to the Eternal Peace Duke Manor one of these days to go have a look. The looks that young lady possesses is in no way inferior to Yan Ning Luo at all."
When he came to speak of that, he then massaged his brows rather helplessly. "But it's just that her personality is a little cold."
"Heh heh heh. A lady who is colder than Little Ning? This is getting interesting. Why wait for another day. Third Brother, why not we go bum a meal off the Eternal Peace Duke Manor today, and we can go see this beauty you are telling me about as well." Yu Xiao Ning's personality had always been rather feisty and impatient. After whetting her appetite like this, how could she be expected to still sit back and wait?
"Do you think that is a good idea?" Yu Jing Zhuo then said hesitantly.
Actually, he was afraid that he would come to leave a bad impression before the young lady once more and that would gain him nothing at all.
"Just tell me whether you would like to see her!"
"I do."
"Isn't that good enough? What are you still dawdling for? Wait here and I'll go get the carriage readied."
It might be because Yan Ning Luo was able to help him find the person he sought, Qing Ye Li's attitude towards her came to improve a little. So when she extended an invitation to Yue Xin Yan and Qing Ye Li to come visit the Eternal Peace Duke Manor as her guests, on this rare occasion, Qing Ye Li agreed to it.
