Looking at Song Yajing’s departing figure, Ning Qing stuck out her pink tongue and made a face at her back.

When a servant saw Ning Qing’s lovely appearance, she laughed and said, “Madam, let me cut the fruit.”

“No, I’m really good at it.” Ning Qing shook her head in a good mood. She cored the apple and made a hollow apple box.

Then she placed some dragon fruit with cherries and set up a beautiful rabbit platter with a layer of yogurt sprinkled on it.

“Wow,” the servant looked at her worshipfully. “Madam, your platter is beautiful, it’s similar to those made by five-star chefs.”

“Right? I’ve practiced it specially.” Ning Qing smiled with curved eyes. She handed the fruit platter to the servant. “You can bring this fruit platter to the tea table.”

“Madam, don’t you want to bring it out yourself?”

Ning Qing pouted her pink lips, “No, didn’t my mother ask me to stay in the kitchen all the time and not come out. I dare not disobey her. When this platter satisfies my mother and she tells me to come out, only then do I dare to come out.”

“Alright.” The servant nodded.

In the living room, Lu Shaoming and an uncle stood by the windowsill to talk about business. Lu Dinghua and Song Yajing sat on the sofa with their elders and chatted. The servant brought up the fruit platter and everyone’s eyes lit up. They couldn’t help but praised, “Yajing, your family has changed the cook again. This platter arrangement is a little interesting.”

Song Yajing stiffened, this was obviously Ning Qing’s masterpiece.

Just now, when Ning Qing was cutting apples in the kitchen, she had taken a look. The girl had good knife-cutting skills.

“No, this is arranged by our Madam.” The servant responded respectfully.

“Oh,” said an elder with a little interest, “how come your Madam doesn’t come out? The fruit platter is arranged so she should come out for a chat. We seldom have a chance to see her.”

“Madam said that when Madam Song has checked the fruit platter, she would only dare to come out after Madam Song is satisfied with it.”

The elders looked at Song Yajing in succession.

Song Yajing glared sideways at the servant, who was in his twenties and didn’t know anything. He didn’t know what to say or not to say.

“Haha, I just said it casually, I didn’t expect… Ning Qing to take it seriously…” Song Yajing smoothed things out quickly.

Lu Dinghua took Song Yajing’s shoulder and patted her on the shoulder. He said jokingly, “It’s OK to teach your daughter in law as a mother-in-law, but can’t be too fierce. You’ll frighten that girl Ning Qing. Go and ask her out.”

Ask her out personally?

Song Yajing took a look at Lu Dinghua. Lu Dinghua’s expression did not change, but he was holding her shoulders with great strength, with a certain degree of deterrence.

Song Yajing rose reluctantly and went to the kitchen.

At this time, the elders laughed, “Dinghua, I didn’t expect your family to have a daughter-in-law, your life is filled with so much fun, it has been said that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-laws were natural enemies, but I see your family is very harmonious, the daughter-in-law is very filial and obedient.”

“Of course.” Lu Dinghua agreed.

Song Yajing stood by the kitchen door. Ning Qing pretended to look around and inadvertently saw her. “Mom, why are you here? What do you want me to do?”

“Hmph, stop pretending, come out!”

Ning Qing smiled slightly but did not pretend to be affectionate. She put down her fruit knife and followed Song Yajing into the living room.

She was secretly pleased, she had lost so much with her mother in law, and finally, it was her mother-in-law’s turn to lose to her.

Hah, if she doesn’t do something good, her mother-in-law would still treat her as a vegetarian.

Who asked her to bully her!

Entering the living room, Ning Qing sat on one side of the sofa, and the elders smiled kindly, “Girl, tell your uncle the truth, did your mother-in-law bully you? Don’t be afraid. Today, all the uncles are here. Even if you complain, we will all support you.”

“This…” Ning Qing hesitated and looked down. Her little daughter in law appearance looked as if she had suffered many grievances. “Mother is very kind to me, just a little bit…”

Ning Qing deliberately stopped here, the original atmosphere of the living room suddenly became quiet.

Song Yajing’s expression was not looking good. Lu Dinghua was calm. Ning Qing’s eyes glided across the faces of the elders with their own thoughts. Then she giggled, “Mother doesn’t like to laugh, she always pulls a long face with me.”

Speaking of that, Ning Qing imitated the expression of Song Yajing with her lips pressed together and eyebrow furrowed. She was originally from an acting class, and she imitated it vividly.

Now, “Haha.” Lu Dinghua laughed loudly, and those elders all laughed and one after another after pausing for a moment, “Haha…” they laughed perfunctorily.

Their test had been easily answered by the little girl.

People unavoidably looked at Ning Qing straight on she looked young and petite, they had not expected that she was also a scheming and difficult character to deal with.

Ning Qing sneered in her heart, trying to make a topic using her, using her as a target, wait till the next life.

“Mom, come and have a slice of apple.” Ning Qing took another apple and handed it to Song Yajing’s lips.

Song Yajing, noting the presence of all the people, drew up her lips and laughed, “No need…”

“Mom, eat it.” Ning Qing could not help but put the sliced apple directly into Song Yajing’s mouth.

That rude gesture seemed to be saying – – Mom, if I ask you to eat it, you better eat it!

Song Yajing, “…”

“Haha,” Lu Dinghua patted the armrest of the sofa. “Look, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along quite well with each other. They are like mother and daughter.”

“Of course, of course.” The elders hid their disappointment and simply agreed.

At this time, “Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu.” Two people appeared at the door. Kong Lan had arrived with her daughter Zhou Zhilei.

Ning Qing was very excited when she saw the mother and daughter coming. As long as they came, she was still afraid that they would not come.

Obviously, both the mother and daughter had seen how she had just fed Song Yajing a slice of apple, especially Zhou Zhilei, who was looking at her resentfully.

“Mrs. Zhou, Zhilei. You’re here? Sit down, please.” The mother and daughter had not been invited to this family dinner, but the two Lu and Zhou families were quite close, so Song Yajing said politely in and with enthusiasm.

“Mrs. Lu, excuse me.” Kong Lan arrogantly lifted his chin and stepped forward with Zhou Zhilei.

Ning Qing met Kong Lan’s eyes and did not speak. She just looked at the servant around her and opened her mouth. Her elegant voice was clear. “Come here, serve tea to Mrs. Zhou and Miss Zhou.”

“Yes, madam.” The servant responded respectfully and stepped back.

Kong Lan and Zhou Zhilei’s eyes changed greatly. Just now, their little bit of arrogance had been severely whipped back by Ning Qing.

Ning Qing looked at them and laughed. The laughter meant – – how dare you to be so rampant after coming to my house, do not see who I am now?

The young madam of the Lu family.

Lu Shaoming’s wife.

All the people present were elites. How could they not see through this open struggle and veiled strife, Song Yajing’s heart was still biased towards Zhou Zhilei? She was angry to see that Ning Qing had deliberately put on the airs of the hostess. She wanted to give Ning Qing a look but failed. The elders on the sofa’s had their disappointment from before swept away, as they looked there one after another with interest.

Song Yajing suddenly remembered a phrase Ning Qing had said — seeing a play.

Her eyes darkened, her eyebrows twisted slightly, and her enthusiasm for Kong Lan and Zhou Zhilei was greatly halved.

“Mrs. Zhou, Zhilei. Now that you’re here, come and sit down,” Lu Dinghua said.

“Yes, thank you, Mr. Lu.” The mother and daughter went over.

After sitting down, these elders naturally made a few polite remarks to the mother and daughter. Kong Lan answered absent-mindedly, then glanced at Ning Qing directly. “Miss Ning, we’ve met once, but I don’t know about Miss Ning’s family and what your father does?”

Ning Qing laughed in her heart. This Kong Lan was impatient. She had started attacking her as soon as she arrived. And had also picked out her weakness.

At this time, her little fragrant shoulder was protected by a big palm, Lu Shaoming had arrived unbeknownst to her, and was standing behind her sofa, this was the real support for her.

“Oh, my father runs a company. It’s not a big one, but he’s a good businessman who obeys the rules and regulations.” Ning Qing answered honestly.

“What does your mother do, which noble family does you come from, and what higher education have you received?”

“Well, my mother grew up in an orphanage and was brought into the Ning family by my grandmother at the age of 8 as a child bride. My mother is gentle, a good mother, and has always been my pride.” Ning Qing laughed at the corners of her mouth, neither humble nor exalted.

Lu Dinghua listened and raised his eyebrows. He looked at Ning Qing in front of him. The girl had answered honestly, but she was too honest.

As far as he knew, she was an exquisite character. She could have skillfully avoided the question of checking her family background, but she had not.

She had still answered very obediently.

Lu Dinghua looked at his wife again and saw that her face was stiff and her expression said – I am not ok with this.

Lu Dinghua’s mouth and eyes burst into laughter. This Ning Qing.

Her family background had always been held in Song Yajing’s hands and trampled under her feet, Song Yajing had even humiliated her with Kong Lan. Today, her chance of revenge had arrived.

Today she had arrived as Mrs. Lu. Who made her lose face today was equivalent to embarrassing the entire Lu family.

She had shown Song Yajing what it was like to lift a stone and drop it on her feet. She had made Song Yajing feel worse than when she had swallowed a fly.

Looking at these elders’ interested appearance, it was as if they had smelled the blood they had not seen for a long time, and they could not wait for the bloodshed to begin.

“Miss Ning, do you mean you are not from a noble family?” Zhou Zhilei’s face had a pleased smile, Ning Qing had always been clever with a glib tongue, she had embarrassed her in front of these elders this time, she felt very happy.

“Yes,” Ning Qing nodded generously, “I’m certainly not as noble as Miss Zhou, so to speak.”

The mother and daughter of the Zhou family were satisfied. At that time, the elders could not help but watch the play and join in. “Ah, Lassie Ning, I didn’t expect you to come from such a background, but that’s all right. Nobody asks the hero of their origin, as long as you and Shaoming live well. Just two days ago, when I read the news, I also saw that Yajing and Mrs. Zhou had attended the charity even and humiliated you. What’s the matter, Lassie Ning? Is your mother-in-law not satisfied with you?”

The entire audience held their breath, waiting for Ning Qing’s answer.

Ning Qing did not reply immediately. She just brought the white water cup on the tea table and took a sip from it. Finally, she smiled at Song Yajing and winked playfully. “Mom, everybody is asking if you are not satisfied with me. In fact, I also want to know if Mom will teach me how to answer.”
