Seeing the harmonious atmosphere between Dong Huiying and Yixuan, after finishing a chicken drumstick, Yue Ning glanced at the two of them and suddenly felt a bit gloomy.

"Ahem!"

He coughed suddenly, and as he wished, the mistress immediately looked his way.

The corner of his mouth lifted slightly, and then he tried his best to put on a serious and earnest look.

"Little Liu, why do I feel like something’s not quite right?"

Yue Ning, looking a bit dim-witted, glanced outside and saw servants paying attention to his side.

He frowned a bit, "Come on, let’s go for a walk!"

Then, quite assertively, he squeezed between Mistress and Sixth Brother, hooking his arms around both and walking out.

Until the three of them left the Qin family and got into the carriage parked outside.

The sound of hooves clopped away into the distance, Yue Ning lifted the carriage curtain to look outside and then his face suddenly drooped.

"Little Liu, tell me!"

Yue Ning was furious.

"Did you do it on purpose, ha?"

Yue Ning put on a ’don’t try to fool me’ expression, trying hard to look fierce.

"The more I think about it, the more it doesn’t feel right. You didn’t return to the Qin family on purpose, fearing you might end up like me, unable to be with Mistress, is that it? Making me take the blame instead?"

Yixuan, surprised at Fifth Brother’s angry expression, said incredulously, "Fifth Brother really thinks this way?"

Yue Ning felt a bit uneasy being questioned by Yixuan.

Yixuan frowned, "This was Third Brother’s doing. Yesterday, when we entered Dongcui City, outsiders were present at the city gate, so I could only go with the flow and make the best of the situation."

With a light and airy tone, he deftly shifted the blame.

Yixuan sighed softly.

"However, I must admit, now that the enemy is clear and we are in the dark, it is quite advantageous for me. But since Fifth Brother is unwilling... how about this."

Yixuan said to Liu Yan, who was driving the carriage, "Liu Yan, let’s go back to the Qin family."

Immediately, he smiled gently at Fifth Brother.

"Let’s go back then, and explain clearly to that Second Elder, to avoid misunderstandings between us."

"Wait!"

Yue Ning shouted loudly, "Liu Yan, don’t listen to him, we’re not going back, keep going forward."

Then, he looked suspiciously at Yixuan.

"You’re really not intentionally framing me?"

Yixuan smiled bitterly, "Fifth Brother, you’re really asking the wrong person, even if someone in our family is framing you, it would be Third Brother."

In any case, it was all Third Brother’s fault, had nothing to do with him.

Yue Ning hesitated again, after a long while, he irritably scratched his head.

"It’s really, Third Brother is against me, deliberately making things difficult for me."

And he felt rather aggrieved.

Yixuan merely smiled silently seeing this, but Dong Huiying, who was also in the carriage, noticed that the gentle and quiet fox was increasingly vibrant around his eyes.

She couldn’t help but glance at Yue Ning, thinking to herself, this silly child, even though his scheming has improved slightly compared to before, but he still wants to fight with Yixuan?

He’s still far too lacking.

She sidled away, chuckling sneakily, her small shoulders shaking.

Suddenly, Yue Ning leaned over like a big puppy, looking at her with a particularly aggrieved expression.

"Yingying, I feel I’m so pathetic, but since it’s for a good cause, I can only endure."

"But..."

Yue Ning’s eyes rolled, he glanced at Yixuan, then looked eagerly back at Dong Huiying.

"Considering how pitiful I am, Yingying, can’t you be a bit nicer to me? Can’t you reward me a little more?"
