A cold male voice interrupted.

Ning Qing lowered her head and stopped in her tracks. Nian Che had already walked up to the two of them.

He placed his hands behind her back and leaned against the table. His tall nose twitched.

“I knew it. I heard you asking me to cook bird’s nest early in the morning. So it’s because Sister-in-law is coming.”

Nian Lie teased Ning Qing. He turned around and looked at his mother. “Mom, if you want to see your daughter-in-law, you should have said so earlier. I could have just brought Sister-in-law back for you to see last night.”

“Che’er, don’t talk nonsense.”

Mother Nian looked back at her. “Che’er is young and not like his brother. He doesn’t know how to control his words. Don’t mind him.”

Ning Qing did not know if she was hallucinating, but the woman who was still friendly at first seemed to have become much tougher.

Ning Qing’s heart turned cold.

At the side, Nian Che pursed his lips and mumbled, “It’s true. Why did you have to go through so much trouble…”

“Nian Che.”

Mother Nian called out his name again.

Nian Che looked over unhappily, his gentle facial features turning serious.

“I have something to discuss with Qing Qing. Go back to your room first.”

“…”

Before anyone could react, the warm atmosphere turned sour.

When Nian Che did not move, Mother Nian ordered Butler Lu, who was standing by the side, “Old Lu, send Second Young Master back to his room.”

Ning Qing held the porcelain bowl and looked at Nian Che.

He was very helpless. He looked at her worriedly and was forced to leave.

Ning Qing pursed her lips. The fragrance in her mouth suddenly lost its flavor.

At this moment, Mother Nian turned around and smiled calmly. “Qing Qing, I asked you to come over today because I have something to discuss with you.”

Ning Qing put down the bowl. Her eyes were bright, but they were calm.

“What do you want to talk about?”

“Can you divorce Lie’er?”

The spacious garden fell silent.

Even the air froze for a few seconds.

Mother Nian was still smiling. Her tone was gentle and contained power.

“It’s like this. I know that you didn’t marry Lie’er because you wanted to. You don’t have any feelings for him either. Lie’er is unsociable and doesn’t fit into the crowd. It’s really unfair for a gentle girl like you to be with him.”

“…”

“You’re both still young. There are many more options after the divorce. You can find someone you really like and live happily ever after.”

The woman who was willing to agree with her earlier was silent now.

Mother Nian extended her hand. “Qing Qing, do you think Auntie is right?”

She wanted to shake Ning Qing’s hand, but Ning Qing suddenly retracted it.

As the movement was too big, she knocked over the bowl filled with bird’s nest.

The green porcelain bowl fell to the table and shattered especially suddenly.

Mother Nian’s expression did not look good. “Qing Qing, you…”

“She doesn’t want to.”

Mother Nian was stunned.

Nian Lie had arrived at some point in time. His face was cold as he stood in front of the two of them.

Ning Qing’s hands on her lap clenched tightly.

The next second, her hand was grabbed.

She looked up in surprise. His face was close to hers, and his thick eyelashes covered his eyes. They were slightly dark.

Nian Lie pulled her up and his mother hurriedly stood up. “Lie’er, what are you doing?”

“…”

Nian Lie’s obscure gaze landed on her. Even Ning Qing knew that his mood at this moment was definitely not joyful.

Mother Nian maintained her smile. “I know that there are some things you can’t say. Therefore, I specially brought Qing Qing over today. I’ve said some things for you.”

The grip on his hand tightened suddenly. Ning Qing saw a thin layer of ice on his handsome face and his restrained anger appeared from his clenched jaw.

“When is it anyone else’s turn to make decisions about me and her?”
