"I don’t dare." Yu Wanqing withdrew her hand.

"With mom here, you don’t need to worry," Old Madam comforted.

"Actually..." Yu Wanqing bit her lip, lowered her head, "Actually, last night I had someone put on a show."

"Mom, I’m sorry! I’ve been too scheming."

Facing Old Madam’s gaze once again, Yu Wanqing’s tears, which she had barely managed to hold back, surged up again.

"No, you just love that boy too much. He’s the one who doesn’t know to appreciate his blessings." Old Madam wasn’t surprised at all about the show she mentioned.

"What exactly happened? Tell me, and I’ll help you later."

"Mom." Yu Wanqing called softly.

"It’s okay, I don’t blame you. Just tell me." Old Madam gave her a reassuring look.

"Last night, I was worried Nian Nian and Ling Qian would hinder my plan, so I had someone trick Nian Nian into the room where I changed clothes last night to divert Ling Qian’s attention."

"But, I really didn’t mean to harm Nian Nian, mom, do you believe me?" Yu Wanqing stared at Old Madam without blinking.

As if, if Old Madam didn’t believe her, she would collapse instantly.

Last night she was so frightened by Beicheng that she revealed her room, and in the end, she took medicine and passed out; she still didn’t know Xia Yinian’s situation now.

But since Old Madam was here, whatever happened in her room must have been suppressed.

When she woke up, she only knew her room had been changed; she wasn’t clear about anything else.

Did that vile woman Xia Yinian get ruined?

If Beicheng went there and saw her being violated, he shouldn’t be interested in her anymore.

This was the only possibility worth being happy about, hopefully, he didn’t get there in time.

No man can endure such a thing, Beicheng is just a normal man.

If that’s the case, eventually, he will still be hers.

"Nian Nian should be fine, nothing happened in your room last night."

Old Madam’s words nearly sent Yu Wanqing into despair.

She not only drugged that man intensely but also prepared for Xia Yinian, how could Xia Yinian be fine?

It only takes five minutes for everything to start, and she was with Beicheng for at least a dozen minutes.

No matter how fast Beicheng moved, he couldn’t have made it in time, right?

Did Ling Qian save her? But, when she saw Ling Qian, things should have already started, he had to find them, how could it be in time?

Things seemed as if they hadn’t happened at all, could it be that everything was suppressed by someone on purpose? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Smiling secretly in her heart, Yu Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as it’s okay, I was worried Nian Nian was frightened."

"It’s alright, Nian Nian is a brave girl, probably realized she was being tricked and left on her own," Old Madam said softly.

Both are good girls; she doesn’t want to see either suffer.

"Go change and come with me to take a walk at Feng Residence."

"Yes, mom." Yu Wanqing nodded at Old Madam.

...

Tossed about all night, Xia Yinian was indeed exhausted and hungry.

She kept glancing at the man who had been watching her, but most of the time she was focused on eating.

Throwing aside all concerns, moments like this felt quite heartwarming.

Today, Uncle was so good to her. Even his gaze was gentle; she felt genuinely happy inside.

Though it isn’t forever, she still wants to savor the moment.
