里番acg之工口火影忍者乳影

Tao Niannian had a delicate body. She knelt for more than two hours and was drenched in the rain.

Even if the Tao family’s private doctor had given her medicine in advance, she still had a fever that night.

Elder Tao had been watching over her the entire night.

The following day, when her fever subsided a little, he went back to rest.

The maid waited for Tao Niannian to wake up and brought her breakfast.

Tao Niannian’s body was uncomfortable, but her heart was very satisfied. She lay on the soft goose down bed and enjoyed the care she had not received for a long time.

She could ignore the pain caused by the illness.

Xie Lian quietly walked into her bedroom and said, “Miss Tao, you listened to me and successfully obtained Old Master’s forgiveness, right?”

Tao Niannian glanced at her. She didn’t hate Xie Lian as much as before, but she still rejected her.

Since Xie Lian helped her when she didn’t have to, she must have something to ask of her.

Tao Niannian was not that easy to fool.

“What do you want from me?”

“I didn’t mean it that way,” said Xie Lian.

“Stop pretending. People like you who climbed up from the bottom have a strong purpose in everything you do. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have gone from a mere singer to the glorious Mrs. Tao.” Tao Niannian even felt that the death of Tao Siyuan’s ex-wife was related to this woman. She continued, “Xie Lian, don’t think that you can get close to me just because you helped me once. Make your request before I change my mind. Otherwise, this chance will become invalid.”

Since Tao Niannian made it so clear, Xie Lian no longer continued her pretense.

With a gentle smile, she said, “It’s very simple. Jiang Yining sent my brother to prison, and I want to take revenge on her. However, Siyuan and 1 are not her match at all. I want to use you to take revenge on Jiang Yining.”

“Dealing with Jiang Yining is not an easy task. Do you know who she is?” Tao Niannian said.

“Who she is? Isn’t she just the Young Mistress of the Lu family?” Xie Lian instantly replied.

“Heh, she’s from the Gu family, a prestigious family in the capital city.”

“How is that possible? Isn’t her surname Jiang?” Xie Lian was shocked.

Tao Niannian was equally shocked, but she said calmly, “Gu Zhanqing, the head of the Gu family, personally admitted that Jiang Yining is his niece. As for why her surname is Jiang and not Gu, I’m not sure either. If you’re interested, you can investigate it yourself.”

Xie Lian pursed her lips and didn’t speak.

She had thought that Jiang Yining would already be difficult to deal with since she was the Young Mistress of the Lu family.

She did not expect Jiang Yining to be a member of the Gu family in the capital city.

This was really troublesome.

“As for what you said about dealing with Jiang Yining. 1 will do it even without your reminder.” Tao Niannian wiped her mouth and said with hatred in her eyes.

“Thank you, Miss Tao.” Xie Lian said respectfully.

Tao Niannian ignored her.

Xie Lian stood there for a while before leaving the room.

After she left, Elder Tao walked in again.

He had just rested for a while when the maid told him that Tao Niannian had woken up, so he still decided to come over.

He saw that Tao Niannian had recovered her energetic appearance.

Elder Tao’s worried heart relaxed, but he still reminded her, “Take care of your body these few days. Don’t catch a cold.”

“Yes, Grandpa, I know.”

Tao Niannian showed her harmless and innocent side to her grandfather.

Elder Tao sighed and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

He still wanted Niannian to go to the Lu family and apologize to Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi personally.

But…

Looking at her weak condition, he couldn’t bear it.

Tao Niannian had become much more rational after the recent ups and downs. Seeing her grandfather’s complicated expression, she took the initiative to ask, “Grandfather, 1 shouldn’t have rebelled against you before, and 1 shouldn’t have insisted on going against the Lu family, causing our family to lose so much. I’ll personally apologize to Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi tomorrow so that you won’t be put in a difficult position.”

“If you had been more sensible earlier, you wouldn’t have suffered so much.”

“Grandpa protected me too well. I thought I had nothing to be afraid of.”

Tao Niannian held her grandfather’s hand in low spirits.

Elder Tao’s heart ached.

Ever since she was young, he had indeed protected Niannian too well, making her unable to see the dangers of the world.

Half of the blame for Niannian’s trouble this time was on him.

“Grandpa, why don’t we go to the Lu family today? I did something wrong at the Lu family yesterday and made them even angrier. When I reach the Lu family, I will definitely kneel down and beg for their forgiveness.”

Tao Niannian was cautious and fearful.

Elder Tao frowned and asked, “What did you do?”

Tao Niannian recounted what happened yesterday in detail. In the end, her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

Her tears also fell.

“I’m really sorry, Grandpa.”

Elder Tao had a headache.

Jiang Yining was really hiding her abilities. The Gu family in the capital was not a simple family. Their strength was comparable to the Tao family.

Now, the Gu family and the Lu family were connected by marriage…

Jiang Yining had two big mountains to rely on, and whoever dared to touch her would be courting death.

“Grandpa…”

Tao Niannian’s tears fell.

Her small hands tightly grabbed Elder Tao’s sleeves, afraid that he would chase her out of the house again.

Elder Tao lowered his eyes and looked at her. Then, he comforted her, “Forget it. We’ve already provoked them. I’m not afraid of another problem.”

“Then are you going to the Lu family to apologize today?” asked Tao Niannian.

“If you kneel down and apologize now, they might not let you off.” Elder Tao said in a deep voice, “We can only think of another way now.”

“Grandpa, I’m sorry. I’ve implicated the entire family.”

Tao Niannian’s face was filled with guilt.

Elder Tao shook his head and said, “You’re the treasure of the Tao family. Don’t talk about whether it implicates the family or not. Niannian, Grandpa only hopes that you can grow up quickly and take charge of your own business. By the, you can take care of yourself when I’m a hundred years old.”

When Tao Niannian heard this, she really cried.

She couldn’t bear to see her grandfather die.

Everything she said just now was against her will. She deeply understood that her grandfather could not bear to part with her.

Therefore, she deliberately showed her weak side.

However, when she heard her grandfather say that he was going to die, she was really afraid.

Elder Tao wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and said, “Alright, you’re already a big girl. Your tears are precious, don’t cry anymore. Rest well and don’t move around for the next few days. Leave the rest to Grandpa.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Yining stayed up late to do some research.

Therefore, she woke up very late the next day.

She put on her slippers, yawned, and walked downstairs to the living room.

However, she realized that the huge living room was filled with things, and there was almost no place to set foot.

The housekeeper was still instructing the maids to carry things inside.

Jiang Yining was speechless.

Were they moving houses?

Why were there so many things in the living room?

“What are you doing?” Jiang Yining asked the housekeeper. What were these things used for?”

“Young Mistress, don’t you know? These are all your betrothal gifts. Sir gave us a list this morning and asked us to prepare it. There is only a third of it here, and there are still several trucks of things outside.”

Jiang Yining was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the ground.

She told him to make it simple, but he went and did so much.

Was he crazy?

Jiang Yining opened a random box and took a look.

Well…

Inside was a large box of gold, silver, and jewelry.

How rich!

But it was completely different from what she said!

“Where’s Lu Zhi?” Jiang Yining asked as she held her forehead.

“Sir should still be purchasing things.” The housekeeper said excitedly, “Young Mistress, look at how much Sir spoils you. I’ve lived for so long, but I’ve never seen anyone give so many betrothal gifts!”

Their young master was simply spoiling the young mistress rotten!

Jiang Yining didn’t listen to him at all. She said, “I’ll go look for him.”

“Young Mistress, take a look at these betrothal gifts first! Sir said that if you’re not satisfied, you can return it and he’ll prepare a new one…”

The housekeeper chased after Jiang Yining, wanting her to see the house full of betrothal gifts.

However, Jiang Yining nimbly bypassed many of the items.

She quickly left..
