Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 755 The Old-fashioned and Reserved General vs. The Amnesiac Seducer (20)

Ning Shitang's movements as he dismantled the crab were indescribably elegant. He carefully separated the crab, neatly arranging the meat and legs, and pushed them onto Shen Shuyi's table.

"The meaning of the book, savor it."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Shitang~" With Ning Shitang backing her up, Shen Shuyi lived a very comfortable life in the Ning family, without any of the awkwardness of an outsider.

Fresh crab meat has a sweet and refreshing taste, making it especially delicious.

She ate with great relish, and seeing that she enjoyed it, Ning Shitang continued to peel shrimp and dismantle crabs for her.

Master Ning was furious. As soon as the banquet ended, he immediately summoned Ning Shitang to his courtyard.

Ning Shitang wanted to take Shen Shuyi home first, but Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "You go ahead, I've just finished eating, I'll take my time and go for a walk."

"Okay, then I'll have someone escort you." He sent two trusted servants to accompany Shen Shuyi.

She had just stepped into the mansion's garden when she was nearly bumped into by a man who reeked of alcohol.

Shen Shuyi took two steps back, and a servant stepped forward to stop him. "Second Young Master, are you alright?"

"Are you blind? How dare you stop your second master!" Ning Shicong raised his voice.

Shen Shuyi also saw the other person's face clearly. He looked somewhat similar to Ning Shitang. However, Ning Shitang was cold and aloof, while this man was, to put it another way, frivolous and hypocritical. In Shen Shuyi's eyes, he was a second-rate scoundrel who was beneath her notice.

Ning Shicong's gaze fell on Shen Shuyi, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.

He had heard before that Ning Shitang had brought a beautiful woman home and even argued with his father over her.

Just now at the banquet, this beauty was indeed as stunning as the rumors said, but he didn't look at her much because of Ning Shitang.

Now, looking at this woman up close, she's so beautiful it takes your breath away.

"You're the Miss Shen that my older brother brought home?"

“My older brother really brings all sorts of women home. You’re quite something, this is the first time he’s brought a woman home before. He used to keep them outside.”

Ning Shicong's words were ambiguous; anyone else would surely have misunderstood that Ning Shitang had many women hidden away.

But Shen Shuyi knew Ning Shitang inside and out, so how could she not know that this man was sowing discord?

Ning Shicong had expected to see shock and sadness on Shen Shuyi's face, but the woman was surprisingly calm.

He sneered, "What, you don't believe me?"

"You also saw that there was a young woman present at the banquet today, right? Her name is Tang Ying, and she is my eldest brother's distant cousin from his maternal family."

"Father sent my cousin over here to try and match her with my eldest brother, and even if you can stay in the mansion, you can only be a concubine."

Shen Shuyi frowned in confusion, but she still said calmly, "Second Young Master, I am your elder brother's wife. It's one thing for you not to call me sister-in-law, but you also deliberately try to sow discord. Isn't that inappropriate?"

Ning Shicong didn't expect that she, who looked like a pretty vase, could still be so calm and collected.

Hmph, that sounds nice, but who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause with Ning Shitang later.

The two servants obeyed orders, not wanting Shen Shuyi to have too much contact with the people in this household, fearing it would trigger her headache, and mustered up their courage to speak.

"Second Young Master, we are under orders from the Eldest Young Master to escort Miss Shen back to her courtyard. We hope you will allow us this opportunity."

Ning Shicong stepped aside, raised his hand and nodded, "Alright, in this family, the eldest brother has the final say."

Shen Shuyi thought he was sick when she heard his sarcastic voice.

Back at Haitang Garden, Shen Shuyi ate the fruit that the servants brought for her after the meal.

She wanted to wait for Ning Shitang to come back before taking a nap.

"66, what's the situation with Ning Shitang? Is Tang Ying really the marriage partner arranged for him by the Ning family?"

The cat, transformed into a little white kitten, landed beside her and rolled around in a pomelo. It then emitted a glowing screen: "Take a look, it's probably nothing good. A prestigious family like the Ning family would never accept a woman of unknown origin as the future matriarch."

Master Ning sat at the head of the table, while his second concubine and Tang Ying sat below him.

Tang Ying is said to be a distant relative of Ning Shitang's mother's family, but in reality, they are not related at all. The key point is that Tang Ying's family has influence in Pingzhou, and Master Ning has long wanted to bring Pingzhou under the Ning family's sphere of influence.

Nothing is more secure or cost-effective than a marriage alliance.

Tang Ying was quite attractive, sitting in an elegant cheongsam, her gaze involuntarily drawn to the tall man who strode in.

Cousin Shitang has become increasingly handsome.
Ning Shitang looked only at his father, "Dad, what do you want to see me about?"

"Sit down and let's talk." Master Ning was already very dissatisfied with him.

The eldest son's return this time was as if he were possessed. Even though the father and son weren't close before, they weren't at the point of being irreconcilable enemies.

This time, the situation escalated quickly after only a few words. Could it be that vixen stirring up trouble?
She's already causing chaos in the house before she even stepped inside; if we let her in, wouldn't that be outrageous?!
Ning Shitang sat down, calmly took a sip of tea, and waited for the old man to speak.

Master Ning's expression softened slightly, and he winked at Tang Ying, "Shitang, this is your cousin Ying'er. You two used to play together when you were little."

"Ying'er, sit with your cousin. It's rare for you to come to Ningzhou City. Let your cousin take you out to play later."

Tang Ying stood up, but her face turned red before she even walked towards Ning Shitang, and she called out weakly.

"Cousin Shitang."

Ning Shitang simply nodded slightly without looking at Tang Ying. He had already made up his mind and would never look at any other woman.

Seeing that he was just as deadbeat as before when he was being pressured to get married, Master Ning was furious and spoke up directly.

“You’re not young anymore. I think Ying’er is well-educated, reasonable, and comes from a respectable family. She’s a good match for you. Let’s find a time to propose to the Tang family.”

Tang Ying looked at Ning Shitang with a flutter in her heart.

But she saw Ning Shitang's cold and indifferent face, "I already have someone I love, so I won't keep Miss Tang any longer."

Tang Ying's face turned pale instantly.

A hint of smugness flashed in the eyes of the second concubine opposite her. "That's great! If Ning Shitang can get Pingzhou through marriage, that would be terrible!"

Master Ning's face darkened. "What sweetheart? What is that woman's background?"

He sent people to investigate, but they found nothing; it was obviously just some country bumpkin.

Does this wild girl deserve to be the mistress of the Ning family?
“Father, you don’t need to worry about this.” Ning Shitang put down his teacup. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.”

Master Ning was so angry that his face turned ashen. Knowing that his son was a stubborn man, he could only say, "If you like her, you can make her your concubine, but the principal wife must be Ying'er."

"One wife is enough. I need to save my energy to find out who harmed me." Ning Shitang said this and left, not caring whether his father was angry or not.

Women are more likely to cause unrest at home. If my father hadn't taken a concubine, my mother wouldn't have died so young.

I ignored him when he was young, but now that he's grown up, I'm interfering in his marriage. That's not fair.

Master Ning was so angry that he fainted. Tang Ying was in a dilemma. Her cousin was originally hers. It was all that vixen's fault!

The second concubine tried to calm Master Ning down, "Master, don't be angry. Shi Tang is just still interested in that Miss Shen. Once she gets tired of her, everything will be fine."

These words really comforted Mr. Ning; he was a man, and he understood men's hearts best.

He and Shitang's mother had a very close relationship at first, but as time went on, they easily developed rifts. Moreover, he thought that the woman surnamed Shen was just like Shitang's mother—jealous and prone to jealousy. Sooner or later, she would squander all of the man's affection!

He'll take a concubine without needing to be urged.

But he must marry Tang Ying!
