Ne Liu had just finished speaking when Ne Chen came over looking unhappy to find Zi You. In a blaming tone, she asked, Youer, didnt I tell you to wait in the study? Why did you come back? When did you come back? When Xianger went into the study, where were you?

Zi You saw that Ne Chen had a fierce expression and pretended to be afraid and hid behind Ne Liu.

Indeed, Ne Liu was unhappy and stood up in front of Zi You. She coldly said, What is Duke Yongnan furen doing? You want to bully people? Whatever Youer did wrong, she has the General Manors elders to discipline her. When is it someone elses turn to reprimand her? Preposterous. Youer, lets go. We would choke on this meal.

Ne Chen never would have thought that Ne Liu would not give her face publicly. Ne Chens face instantly turned the color of a monkeys butt.

Because of her sons matter, she was taking her anger out on Zi You. She always thought that this foreign Zi You was an inauspicious person. Otherwise, how could her son be fine going to see her in the study, but suddenly fainted and couldnt be awoken?

She originally thought that Ne Liu was only Zi Yous aunt, since Zi Yous biological mother died. And since the relations between the two families werent bad, Ne Liu would at most be unhappy if Ne Chen reprimanded Zi You harshly. Ne Liu would certainly not publicly stand up for Zi You.

But things turned out unexpectedly. She didnt think Ne Liu would publicly defend Zi You and put Ne Chen in an awkward situation.

If she really let Ne Liu take Zi You away like this, then the hatred between Duke Yongnan fu and Generals Manor would be forged. After all, whether her sons accident had anything to do with Mu Zi You was not clear. She was not sure that Mu Zi You caused her son to be unconscious.
