Chapter 125 Rich kid
"What, what..." Xie Yunce's mind went blank and he turned to look at the old lady in a daze.
The old lady sat in the center of the ancestral hall, her eyes firm and deep, as if she could see through everything. There was no ripple on her face, but her eyes revealed a hint of sadness.
"Yunce, you have grown up and are no longer the child who needs your grandmother's care." The old lady spoke slowly, her voice calm but with unquestionable majesty.
Xie Yunce was stunned. He had never seen his grandmother look so serious. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but no sound came out. The atmosphere in the ancestral hall suddenly became heavy, as if even the air had frozen.
"Grandma, I...I really don't understand what you mean." Xie Yunce finally spoke, his voice trembling. He lowered his head, not daring to look the old lady in the eye.
The old lady sighed softly, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes. She slowly stood up, walked to Xie Yunce, and patted his shoulder gently.
"Yunce, you should know that the glory of the Ningguo Mansion cannot be maintained by your own strength. What we need is a united family, a cohesive family." The old lady's tone was serious but gentle.
Xie Yunce raised his head, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. He understood what his grandmother meant, but he didn't know what he should do.
"Grandma, what you said is right, but I don't understand why you do this?" Xie Yunce couldn't help but ask, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
The old lady smiled slightly, with a hint of approval in her eyes. She patted Xie Yunce's head gently and said, "Yunce, you are a smart child. You should understand that sometimes, for the honor of the family, we have to make some difficult choices."
Xie Yunce was silent. He looked at his grandmother's kind and determined eyes, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
Xie Yunce struggled in his heart, he didn't know what he should do to fulfill his grandmother's expectations. He raised his head, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Grandma, I understand. I will do my best to work for the future of our family." Xie Yunce said in a firm tone, his eyes revealing a determination.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the ancestral hall, and a servant hurried in, looking panicked.
"Madam, it's bad. There's news coming in from outside, saying... that the second young master is in big trouble outside." The servant said breathlessly.
The old lady frowned, she turned her head and looked at Xie Yunce, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes.
"Yunce, go out and see what's going on." The old lady's tone was cold, and her eyes revealed a questioning majesty.
Xie Yunce's heart tightened, and he immediately turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall. He knew that he had to solve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise, the promise he had just made to his grandmother would come to naught.
Xie Yunce walked out of the ancestral hall, and there was chaos outside. He immediately asked about what happened and learned that he had caused the extinction of an entire family because of an accident.
He felt heavy in his heart, as the impact of this incident was far more than that. He immediately returned to the ancestral hall and reported the situation to his grandmother.
After listening to Xie Yunce's report, a hint of anger flashed in the old lady's eyes.
"Yunce, you must send someone to deal with this matter immediately. No matter what, the losses must be minimized." The old lady's tone was firm, and her eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty.
Xie Yunce nodded and immediately arranged for his servants to handle the matter.

Luoluo pushed the door open and entered the room. She quickly walked to Gu Zhiyi's side and whispered, "Madam, Miss Yang is back."
Gu Zhiyi was sipping a cup of tea. When she heard Luluo's words, she smiled slightly, put down the cup in her hand, and said softly, "Really? Then let her in."
Green Radish nodded gently and turned to invite Miss Yang. After a while, Miss Yang appeared at the door. She was wearing a light blue dress and a white jasmine flower on her head, and she was as beautiful as a painting.
Miss Yang walked into the room, bowed slightly, and politely saluted Gu Zhiyi: "Madam, Miss Yang greets you."
Gu Zhiyi smiled and nodded, motioning for Miss Yang to sit down. Miss Yang sat down opposite Gu Zhiyi, and her maid Luluo brought her a cup of tea.
"Miss Yang, is there anything that brings you back this time?" Gu Zhiyi asked softly.
Miss Yang nodded slightly, her eyes a little melancholy: "Madam, I came back this time because I encountered some troubles outside."
Gu Zhiyi frowned slightly and asked with concern: "What troubles you so much?"
Miss Yang sighed and said slowly, "I met a rich boy outside. He took a fancy to me and wanted to take me as his concubine. I was naturally unwilling, but he refused to give up and kept pestering me."
Gu Zhiyi's face turned serious, and she said in a cold voice: "This rich kid is really bold, he actually dared to set his sights on you. Don't worry, I will take care of this matter for you."
Miss Yang looked at Gu Zhiyi gratefully: "Madam, I know you are good to me, but I don't want to cause you trouble because of this matter."
Gu Zhiyi gently patted Miss Yang's hand and said with a smile: "Silly girl, you belong to my Ningguo Mansion, I will naturally make the decision for you. Leave this matter to me, you don't have to worry."
A hint of gratitude flashed in Miss Yang's eyes.
At this time, the maid Luluo couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Madam, that rich kid is so bold, shouldn't we teach him a lesson?"
Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly, with a sly look in her eyes: "Luluo, you are right. We can't let him do whatever he wants outside. We must let him know how powerful we are."
A hint of excitement flashed in Luoluo's eyes. Madam was going to teach that rich kid a lesson.
Gu Zhiyi asked Luluo to invite the rich young man to the Ningguo Mansion. When the rich young man learned that Miss Yang was in the Ningguo Mansion, he was overjoyed and immediately agreed to come.
Green radish retreated gracefully, and her figure disappeared outside the vermilion gate of the Ningguo Mansion. Gu Zhiyi sat on the exquisite nanmu chair, her eyes showing a bit of depth. She gently stroked her clothes, smiled at Miss Yang beside her, and said: "Miss Yang, today's matter depends entirely on you."
Miss Yang nodded slightly, with a humble look on her face, and said softly: "Madam, you are too kind. It is Miss Yang's honor to be able to help you."
Soon, Luluo led a handsome young man from a wealthy family into the Ningguo Mansion. The young man was dressed in brocade clothes, with an extraordinary demeanor, and walked into the hall with light steps. When he saw Miss Yang, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.
The young man from a wealthy family stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Madam. I am Li Wenyuan. I am honored to have heard of your Miss Yang's great name, so I came to visit you."
Gu Zhiyi nodded slightly and pointed at Miss Yang and said, "This is Miss Yang. Master Li, please treat her well."
Li Wenyuan responded hastily, and turned to Miss Yang, his eyes full of enthusiasm: "Miss Yang, I have long heard of your name, and it is a great honor to meet you today. I wonder if Miss Yang would be willing to do me the honor of walking with me?"
Miss Yang smiled gently, with a hint of grace between her eyebrows and eyes: "Mr. Li, you are too polite. Miss Yang is willing to accompany you."
