Chapter 142 - 142 Take Care
142 Take Care
Since he had settled those people for the time being, Chao Bai reached out and prepared to bring Kong Rui to the Nie family’s residence to find the good things he had just seen. Kong Rui didn’t refuse this time and only gave Chao Bai some instructions.
“The Nie family is different from the Li family. The Nie family is filled with powerhouses. You have to be careful! Although the purpose of our trip is to find things, I still have things to do. You have to listen to my arrangements. Also, you can’t do anything too excessive. I don’t want to make too many enemies now!” After Kong Rui finished speaking, she saw Chao Bai looking distracted.
Kong Rui frowned, but she knew that it was useless if Chao Bai didn’t listen.
Sighing, Kong Rui reached out and grabbed Chao Bai’s hand. Then, she smiled gently. “Let’s go!”
Chao Bai finally nodded in satisfaction. Then, he formed a seal with one hand and drew a circle on the ground, forming another spiritual energy vortex.
The two of them disappeared into the backyard.
After the procuress finished teaching the group of girls and servants a lesson, she was about to report to the two masters when she realized that the backyard was already empty.
“Where did they go?! They’re really elusive!” The procuress couldn’t help but mutter.
Even though she was experienced and knowledgeable, she rarely saw people this elusive.
The procuress brushed the dust off her dress and turned to walk towards the atrium. She had just taken a few steps when she saw Su Niang hiding not far away.
The procuress frowned and her expression darkened as she sneered, “Su Niang, get out here!”
Su Niang responded in a panic. After a while, she pushed open the door and walked out.
“Madam Tian, why are you looking for me?” Su Niang lowered her head and asked in a low voice.
Madam Tian snorted. “Don’t think that I can’t control you just because you’re living in the backyard now! It’s only because Master is kind-hearted that she let you stay here with Tong Sheng, that fatherless kid. You guys better behave yourselves and not cause trouble for Fragrant Garden! Tell me! Why were you hiding there just now?”
Madam Tian warned Su Niang sternly, as if Su Niang was someone who wanted to ruin the future of Fragrant Garden.
Su Niang lowered her head and remained silent. No one knew what she was thinking.
Seeing that Su Niang didn’t react, Madam Tian reached out to push her.
Unexpectedly, just as her hand touched Su Niang’s shoulder, she was forced back by a huge force.
Madam Tian was shocked. She looked at Su Niang in surprise and realized that the force that had shaken her just now was actually from Tong Sheng!
Tong Sheng retracted his hands, but his eyes were fixed on Madam Tian.
Madam Tian sized up Tong Sheng before asking coldly, “Where did you learn these abilities?”
“That wasn’t an ordinary move!” Madam Tian stared at Tong Shen to observe his reaction.
Su Niang looked at Madam Tian in panic. “Tong Sheng is just born strong. You know that!”
Madam Tian glanced at Su Niang and snorted. “Don’t use such an excuse to brush me off! This is the first time I’ve seen someone with such great strength! I advise you and your mother to behave yourselves. Master didn’t take you two in to give you a chance to stab her in the back! Although I, Madam Tian, am not a good person, I still know that people should be grateful to their saviors!”
As Madam Tian spoke, she carefully observed Su Niang and Tong Sheng’s reactions. Then, she sighed. “You guys should behave yourselves!”
With that, Madam Tian didn’t look at Su Niang and her son again. She tidied her slightly messy clothes and turned to leave.
Su Niang’s eyes flickered as she watched Madam Tian leave.
Tong Sheng grabbed his mother’s hand tightly, as if he was afraid of something.
