Chapter 252 Wu Xinrou's Melon

After the Flying Flower Game ended, Xi Ningzhi prepared a sumptuous feast for them. After everyone finished eating, Xi Ningzhi saw them off.

Xiao Siyue and Zhou Qingran walked together.

"Siyue, remember to come visit me next time!" Zhou Qingran liked Xiao Siyue very much and was reluctant to leave, so she specially invited her.

“Okay, Sister Qingran.” Xiao Siyue also had a good impression of Zhou Qingran.

Just as Xi Ningzhi, who was standing next to the two, was about to say something to Xiao Siyue, she was pulled back by Wu Xinrou, who was following behind them.

"What are you doing?" Xi Ningzhi asked impatiently.

Seeing Xi Ningzhi's impatient tone, Wu Xinrou felt a little angry, but she suppressed it, forced a smile, and lowered her voice to ask, "Ningzhi, where did your older brother go? Why isn't he here today?"

"What business is it of yours where my older brother is?" Xi Ningzhi immediately became wary.

"Ningzhi, I was just asking." Wu Xinrou's smile was a little stiff, inwardly cursing this ungrateful woman, thinking, "Wait until later..."

"Heh, you'd better just ask." Xi Ningzhi sneered. Did she really think she didn't know what Wu Xinrou was thinking?

Xiao Siyue was close to Xi Ningzhi and vaguely heard the two talking about "elder brother," which made her curious.

"Qingran, what's going on?" Xiao Siyue sensed that she had caught a whiff of gossip.

Zhou Qingran seemed to be used to this, but seeing Xiao Siyue's curiosity, she lowered her voice and whispered in Xiao Siyue's ear: "You don't know, the reason why Wu Xinrou always comes to the Xi family is because she has taken a fancy to Ningzhi's older brother."

"Ah?" So that's how it is. Xiao Siyue had thought that Wu Xinrou liked Xi Ningzhi. Forgive me, I was overthinking it.

"However, it's just that Wu Xinrou doesn't like the eldest brother of the Xi family; it's only Wu Xinrou's wishful thinking," Zhou Qingran continued.

Xiao Siyue wasn't particularly interested in the matter of the eldest brother of the Xi family.

Fortunately, the eldest brother of the Xi family doesn't like Wu Xinrou. If they had gotten together, it would have been really bad. Wouldn't Wu Xinrou then be the sister-in-law of his future third sister-in-law?

She'd become relatives with their family, but she wasn't happy to deal with this person.

"Alright, Siyue, let's not worry about them. Ningzhi will handle it." Zhou Qingran saw that Xiao Siyue seemed thoughtful and assumed she was worried.

"Okay, Qingran, let's go wait over there first." Xiao Siyue saw that Xi Ningzhi and Wu Xinrou were still talking, and she felt embarrassed to leave directly.

-

"Wu Xinrou, let me tell you, don't try anything with my brother anymore, and don't come to our house again. We don't welcome you." Xi Ningzhi frowned. She truly regretted being blind to have made such a friend, who almost harmed her brother.

“Ningzhi, we are good friends, and I truly love Brother Xi,” Wu Xinrou said, her eyes brimming with tears.

"How dare you talk about my older brother? My older brother doesn't like you, and we're not friends anymore. You haven't forgotten what you did, have you?" Xi Ningzhi's tone was cold and full of disgust.

"Ningzhi." Wu Xinrou's face turned deathly pale instantly.

Actually, her relationship with Wu Xinrou wasn't as bad as it is now. Although it wasn't great, she would still invite her to every banquet.

But after that incident, she never invited Wu Xinrou again.

But to my surprise, Wu Xinrou came again this time, and acted as if nothing had happened. How can she be so shameless?

She had hosted the banquet before, and things were going well. But Wu Xinrou acted like she was sick. When no one was looking, she ran to her older brother's courtyard and put drugs in his teapot, trying to get into his bed.

Fortunately, my elder brother practices martial arts every day, so his body is in better shape than the average person. In addition, the dosage of the medicine was not very large. After realizing the problem, he immediately called for help, which prevented a dirty thing from happening.

Who would have thought that Wu Xinrou almost succeeded in her own home?

When Xi Ningzhi thought about this incident, she felt resentful towards Wu Xinrou because she almost ruined her older brother.

Moreover, she still feels guilty towards her older brother, and is grateful that he wasn't here today.

“Ningzhi, how could you say that about me? I want to talk to Brother Xi myself.”

If she could always see Xi Yifan, why would she be here trying to please that bitch Xi Ningzhi? Just wait, after she marries into this family, let's see how she deals with her, Wu Xinrou thought viciously to herself.

Wu Xinrou was filled with regret, not for making a move against Xi Yifan, but for not planning ahead and ultimately failing.

"Hmph, don't even think about it." Xi Ningzhi snorted coldly and ignored Wu Xinrou. It was no use saying anything to someone as shameless as her.

"Siyue, I'm so sorry about today. I wanted you to have a good time, but you ended up feeling wronged." Xi Ningzhi apologized to Xiao Siyue with some embarrassment, feeling that she had let Xiao Siyuan down.

"Sister Ningzhi, it's okay, I had a lot of fun today." She didn't care about what Wu Xinrou said at all.

"Hmm, I'll invite Siyue over to play another day." Xi Ningzhi thought that Xia Siyue liked it and hadn't changed her mind. She would send an invitation to Xiao Siyue in a couple of days. She would definitely not let Wu Xinrou come again. She needed to give an explanation to the servants at home.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Ningzhi."

"I'm going to ask for a favor too. Ningzhi, next time you invite Siyue, please let me know too," Zhou Qingran quickly interjected, blinking her big eyes.

"Okay, okay, I definitely won't forget you." Xi Ningzhi chuckled, her earlier unpleasant mood improving considerably.

Seeing the three of them chatting and laughing and ignoring her, Wu Xinrou angrily stomped on the ground twice before leaving through the door.

The maidservant following behind hurriedly caught up, fearing that her young mistress might accidentally fall, and that she would definitely be beaten when they got back.

"Sister Ningzhi, you don't need to see me off. Go back now. I'm leaving. Let's play together again next time." After exchanging a few more words, Xiao Siyue said goodbye. It was quite cold outside.

"Okay, Siyue, Qingran, slow down, be careful of the slippery road."

Xiao Siyue and Xi Ningzhi each boarded the waiting carriages and headed towards their respective homes.

I also ran into Xiao Siyuan on the way.

"Third Brother, did you wait for me specifically?" Xiao Siyue teased.

"No, I was going back too. I stopped when I saw your carriage," Xiao Siyuan explained earnestly.

"Hehe, Third Brother, come on up." Xiao Siyuan was riding a horse, his head already covered in snow.

"No need, I can ride a horse. You should lower the curtain quickly, it's cold." Xiao Siyuan refused. As a martial artist, he wasn't afraid of the cold.

"Alright then." Xiao Siyue lowered the curtain, and Xiao Siyuan rode his horse home with her.
