Chapter 428: Watch Your Mouth

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t say anything else.

She only noticed that the Old Lady’s expression was off when the Bo Family in the Capital City was mentioned, and despite speaking through clenched teeth, she couldn’t hide the glimmer of deep, somber sadness.

She didn’t ask Bo Yanching, but instead inquired about the child, Bo Qingshan, because a child would only know the gist and would struggle to provide too many details.

Nan Jiaojiao also just wanted to know the gist; that was enough for her.

When it was about time, Bo Yanching handed Qianqian to Aunt Chen.

As he was leaving, Aunt Chen, holding Qianqian, chased after him.

“Third Young Master,” Aunt Chen seemed to have difficulty speaking, “when you have the time, come back and visit Qianqian more often.

She really likes you.”

Bo Yanching looked down, pinching Qianqian’s cheek, “I will.”

“Miss Qianqian…” Aunt Chen was unable to finish her words, as Qianqian, feeling sleepy, obediently lay on her shoulder.

Bo Yanching gently stroked the little one’s head, “Go inside.”

Aunt Chen closed her mouth.

Finally, she looked at Nan Jiaojiao, “Miss Nan, when you have the time, come back as well.

Miss Qianqian likes you a lot too.”

Nan Jiaojiao nodded in agreement.

Until Bo Yanching’s car drove away, and Aunt Chen was about to take Qianqian back inside, she inadvertently looked up and suddenly saw Zhou Zining standing behind a window on the third floor.

His eyes were chilling, as if envenomed, piercingly fixed on her.

Aunt Chen froze, instinctively holding Qianqian tighter, and after hesitating, she went back inside with Qianqian first.

After bathing Qianqian and putting her to sleep, Aunt Chen went to knock on Zhou Zining’s door.

“Roll in.”

Zhou Zining still stood by the window, and upon hearing the door open, ordered Aunt Chen to close it.

“Fourth Young Madam.” Aunt Chen stood by the door, very restrained.

Zhou Zining walked up to her, “Did you tell him?”

“No.”

Whack.

Zhou Zining slapped her across the face, “Keep your mouth shut.

Don’t speak of what should and shouldn’t be said.

A servant needs to know their place.

Don’t forget, your daughter’s safety is in my hands.

If I find you stepping out of line again, killing one or two people is nothing I can’t handle.”

Aunt Chen immediately knelt down, “I realize my mistake, I will never dare again.

Please, Fourth Young Madam, be merciful.

Don’t involve my daughter; she finally managed to study abroad, she suffered a lot in her childhood…”

She wanted to plead, but she forgot that Zhou Zining always despised these servants.

After a few words, she suddenly felt a chill on her back and quickly stopped talking.

Despite the Fourth Young Master’s gentle nature, why on earth did he marry someone like Zhou Zining?

Her facade was rarely seen by others.

Even the Fourth Young Master hadn’t seen this side of her.

Deeply hidden.

“So, whether she survives is up to you.”

Zhou Zining calmly adjusted her hair, speaking of life as if it were light and breezy, “Out you go, and take the rug you’ve dirtied with your kneeling.”

“Yes.”

Aunt Chen picked up the rug from under her knees and exited with unease.

After washing her face in her room, she intended to check if Qianqian was covered properly, but to her shock, the room was open!

Frantically, Aunt Chen quickly regained her composure and promptly headed to Bo Qingshan’s room, knocked softly with no answer, pushed the door open, and tiptoed near the bed, finding Qianqian sleeping in Bo Qingshan’s arms.

She sighed with relief, covered the two children properly, left the room, and then called her daughter.

Hearing her daughter’s bright and cheerful voice, she said nothing else but told her daughter to study hard.

…

Nan Jiaojiao woke up thirsty in the middle of the night and went out to get some water, only to see someone sitting on the sofa.
