Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Sister-in-Law, Let Go of My Sister Yang
Qi Xiangsi’s trust in Jun Yang was not ordinary.
The reason for this kind of trust, without any doubt about Jun Yang’s intentions, stemmed from their acquaintance.
That day, when Qi Xiangsi was being watched by Nanny Zhang while studying, feeling displeased with Nanny Zhang’s constant interference and restraints, she quarreled with her and ran out of the Qi Mansion.
However, because she rushed out in such a hurry and deliberately shook off the servants who followed, she went out alone and, on a rainy day, encountered a bandit and nearly got her throat slit.
Jun Yang not only saved her life but also showed great concern for her, buying her favorite snacks that she usually couldn’t get, tore up the books she had to read every day, and allowed her to do whatever she wished.
Jun Yang told her that in this lifetime, one shouldn’t be restricted or constrained but should live freely and as they please.
No one had ever said such things to Qi Xiangsi before.
After hearing it once, Qi Xiangsi fell deeply for it, unable to extricate herself.
She agreed with Jun Yang’s perspective; she didn’t like learning rules, reading, or writing, nor did she want to be some noble lady. She liked everything that Jun Yang instilled in her.
She wanted to live as freely and willfully as Jun Yang did.
...
By the time Qi Xiangsi had finished drinking a cup of tea, the men that Jun Yang summoned had arrived.
These men were clearly rough and tough guys, yet they wore delicate makeup, revealing clothes, and danced seductively.
Neither here nor there.
Jun Yang, however, kept praising them, "Good, good, good!"
Qi Xiangsi, although not quite understanding what Jun Yang meant by "good," still graciously acknowledged Jun Yang’s approval. After Jun Yang finished praising, she quickly took some small pieces of silver from her person and tossed them out.
"You all performed well, this is from me and my Sister Yang as a reward for you."
Although it was just a little silver, it was a generous gesture, very typical of Qi Xiangsi.
Watching so much silver being thrown out, Jun Yang’s eyes widened. At the same time, she felt a bit regretful, thinking how nice it would be if all that silver were given to her!
She could make herself several new outfits and eat something good, no longer relying on those cheap, messy snacks to get by. She had grown tired of those things long ago.
Seeing the silver on the ground, the men danced even harder, swaying their hips energetically.
When Jun Ning and Ye Ying entered, they saw Qi Xiangsi lounging on the soft couch, sipping fruit wine, lazily watching the men dance nearby, occasionally clapping and cheering.
Flirtatious and flamboyant.
No air of a noble lady from a prestigious family.
This wasn’t the Qi Xiangsi she remembered!
Qi Xiangsi, having taken after her mother, was generous and straightforward, never pretentious or self-indulgent to the point of visiting such places and calling for male entertainers.
And Qi Xiangsi’s only flaw was hardly worth mentioning.
Because Qi Xiangsi lost her parents young and was spoiled by those around her growing up, she was a bit pampered and occasionally proud, but those were minor issues, not major problems.
This was the first time Jun Ning had seen her like this.
She was very surprised.
However, upon seeing the person next to her, due to being overweight and not daring to wear tight clothing, dressed in the short clothes and pants of common city folk, looking like a hooligan, lying on the soft couch like she had no bones, even having a few men come over to help massage her legs, Jun Ning was no longer surprised.
She knew Jun Yang well.
No matter how talented or well-born a person was, if they hung around with someone like Jun Yang, they would eventually be pulled down from the pedestal, stepping into the mire, unable to climb out.
She couldn’t bear for Qi Xiangsi to end up like that.
"Nuan Nuan..."
Jun Ning called to Qi Xiangsi.
Upon hearing this familiar call, Qi Xiangsi instinctively wanted to get up and run to Jun Ning for a hug, but remembering what Jun Yang had told her—Nanny Zhang was arranged by Jun Ning to deliberately monitor and torment her—she halted her movement and lay back down.
She even avoided Jun Ning’s gaze, refusing to look at her.
Jun Ning: "......"
Seeing Jun Ning standing there, not intending to leave after a long moment, Qi Xiangsi politely yet distantly said, "Sister Ning, oh no, sister-in-law, you should go back! Xiang Si is having a great time here, I really like it here."
Jun Ning: "......"
Although she wasn’t much older than Qi Xiangsi, Qi Xiangsi had always been attached to her since childhood, having been raised by her. Their relationship had always been good.
From the time Qi Xiangsi could speak, she always chased after her calling Sister Ning, Sister Ning, in her heart treating her as her elder sister. She had never addressed her so politely as sister-in-law.
There was a difference between sister-in-law and elder sister.
Jun Ning suddenly felt complex emotions, so complex they were hard to articulate.
Yet, Jun Ning neither reprimanded Qi Xiangsi nor expressed her disappointment and dissatisfaction. She asked, "...Nuan Nuan, are you sure you want this?"
Without even thinking, Qi Xiangsi said, "I like this, and I am sure I want this."
"Alright, then." Jun Ning walked over to Jun Yang, grabbed her collar, and pulled her up, "Come with me."
If Qi Xiangsi continued following her, things would only get more outrageous.
But she didn’t want to force Qi Xiangsi to do anything against her will.
So, to change Qi Xiangsi, she had to start with Jun Yang.
"Where are you taking me? Let go of me?"
Jun Yang struggled against Jun Ning’s grip, trying to break free, but with her street hooligan strength, only capable of causing trouble with no real skills, she was no match for Jun Ning.
She struggled for a long time to no avail.
The hand holding Jun Yang’s collar was extraordinarily steady.
Seeing this, Qi Xiangsi was not content and hurried to Jun Ning’s side, grabbing her clothes, saying, "...Sister-in-law, please let go of my Sister Yang?"
Sister Yang?
No wonder she didn’t recognize her anymore, she’s found a new sister!
Jun Ning sneered mockingly.
Qi Xiangsi continued, "I’m the one who wanted to come here, and I’m the one who called these entertainers, it has nothing to do with my Sister Yang, please let go of my Sister Yang."
"I refuse to let go," Jun Ning said.
Qi Xiangsi said fiercely, "Let go? Whatever you have to say, say it to me, I’m not afraid of you."
"......" Jun Ning was silent for a moment, then said, "Nuan Nuan, the matter between Jun Yang and me has nothing to do with you."
"How could it have nothing to do with me? If it weren’t for me, why would you treat her like this?"
This eldest daughter, who lost her parents and was raised in a honey jar without a care for worldly matters, truly had no clue about the mess between Jun Ning and Jun Yang.
Seeing Jun Ning treat Jun Yang this way, she still felt that Jun Ning was intentionally targeting Jun Yang, even saying hurtful words to Jun Ning.
Jun Ning sighed deeply several times, closed her eyes, and explained, "The wedding dress Grand Empress Dowager helped me embroider was stolen and sold by Jun Yang. Qi Xiangsi, you tell me if there’s any connection?"
Jun Ning sneered once more and added, "I’ve been frustrated about not catching her."
