Chapter 107: Nan Gong Yu Unleashes a Thunderous Fury

Nan Gong Jue felt a warm surge in his heart, probably because Nan Gong Yu had talked to Song Huan Yan about that matter.

Anyway, this is also a kind gesture.

Only Nan Gong Jue was still staring at the sugar jar without speaking, when Qiao An opened her mouth and said directly, "Elder Sister-in-law, what does this mean?"

Song Huan Yan had also been looking at the sugar jar; hearing that, she froze for a moment and lifted her eyes to look at Qiao An.

She was a bit puzzled about what her words meant.

Nan Gong Yu's handsome face, though usually cool and calm, darkened suddenly upon hearing this.

Nan Gong Jue also looked at Qiao An.

Qiao An's words left several of them bewildered.

Qiao An looked at Song Huan Yan and said, "Elder Sister-in-law, Brother Jue is my fiancé."

Song Huan Yan's eyes widened slightly, then she was at a loss for words.

Qiao An, however, spoke with righteous indignation, adding, "Giving the sugar is a beautiful fate between him and me; only I can give it to him. As Elder Sister-in-law, giving the little uncle sugar is inappropriate, right? What if it causes misunderstandings? Are you so ignorant of propriety? Moreover, you give nothing to anyone, only to Brother Jue—how am I supposed to think, and how will others think? Those who don't know might even think you have feelings for Brother Jue…"

"Absurd!" before Qiao An could finish, Nan Gong Yu snapped angrily.

Though his voice wasn't loud, it thundered with fury.

It startled Qiao An so much that she trembled.

Nan Gong Yu stared at her, his gaze so sharp it seemed to pierce her, "Huan Yan gave the second brother a gift because of me. The recipient hasn't even spoken. How does it become a lack of propriety when it passes through your mouth, and you harbor such filthy thoughts?"

Qiao An seemed frightened, her face instantly filled with grievance, tears spilling out as she meekly and terrifiedly said, "I… I'm not…"

Nan Gong Yu still stared at her forcefully, cutting her off, "What are you trying to argue? Haven't you already spoken clearly? By your logic, does it mean my wife is improper just because she is kind to the men in my family? Is that 'interesting'? You're young, and your thoughts are quite impure. So today, if Huan Yan brings a gift to my father, are you going to slander that she has intentions toward my father?"

Nan Gong Yu was extremely angry.

The words made Qiao An's tears fall even more fiercely; she waved desperately, "It's not…"

"And you still say it's not?" Lord Yu cut her off again, "I recall saying at last night's banquet that I despise stubborn people, Changfeng."

Meng Zhangfeng immediately stepped forward, ready to slap Qiao An a few times.

This woman, young as she is, looks sweet and cute, yet her mind is like this?

The Young Madam cares about her husband's brothers because of her own husband; she opens her mouth and says the Young Madam has feelings for the second young master?

And she looks jealous?

The drama has spilled into real life, still acting in front of Lord Yu.

Seriously, his brain is messed up!

Meng Zhangfeng was about to strike.

Nan Gong Jue realized in time, sprang to his feet and intervened, "Big brother, An An… it's not as you think."

Nan Gong Yu laughed, "Your ears are bad, didn't hear what was said?"

Lord Jue blocked Meng Changfeng, "I heard it. But she didn't mean that; she was just nervous and jealous."

Nan Gong Yu: "....."

Song Huan Yan: "....."

"So, he spoke without thinking and said those words," Nan Gong Jue explained.

Nan Gong Yu took a deep breath, about to speak.

Song Huan Yan pulled him back, "Enough, Lord Yu. Since they say there's no such meaning, that's fine."

But Nan Gong Yu wasn't ready to let it go; he still wanted to speak.

Song Huan Yan shook her head and called him again, "Lord Yu."

Nan Gong Yu finally gave up, calmed his temper, and kept a composed face without speaking.

This is in the Old Mansion.

Nan Gong Jue is also the younger brother.

After it was settled, Meng Zhangfeng retreated, a bit regretting his slow reaction.

Meng Changfeng went back, and Lord Jue finally sat down, looking at the sobbing Qiao An, and said, "It's okay, be good."

Song Huan Yan: "...."

Qiao An didn't dare say anything either.

Nan Gong Jue then looked at Song Huan Yan, "Thank you, Elder Sister-in-law, for the gift; I like it very much. But… I don't need it anymore."

He said so, then gave an apologetic smile.

Song Huan Yan slowly lifted her eyes, surprised.

It seems Qiao An's words had an effect on him.

Although Nan Gong Jue said it, Qiao An didn't have that intention.

But if he refuses this jar of sugar, it shows he… is avoiding suspicion?

Song Huan Yan was instantly speechless to the extreme, truly not knowing whether to blame herself for meddling or to blame herself for indeed lacking propriety.

What is even going on here?

As Nan Gong Yu said, does that mean she, after marrying in, cannot be kind to the opposite sex in her husband's family?

Otherwise it's called not avoiding suspicion?

Song Huan Yan was speechless, bewildered to the point of doubting whether she truly mishandled this matter.

And Nan Gong Yu was very angry.

With a cold face, before Nan Gong Jue could even say he would return the gift, Nan Gong Yu said, "You are just as absurd! Huan Yan is the senior sister-in-law of this household and should be kind to the younger brothers and sisters. Does it become wrong when it comes to you? Are you implying that if, in the future, the younger sister gets married and Huan Yan is kind to her husband, that would count as having intentions toward her husband, thus not avoiding suspicion? Nan Gong Jue, is your brain filled with water? Or do you think I'm dead? I'm still here; what suspicion does she need to avoid with you? Are you too proud of yourself? Fine, you don't need it, right? I insist you do. Starting tomorrow, I'll have your sister-in-law deliver a jar of sugar to you every day, filling your Bedroom; you may not want it, but you must take it."

Nan Gong Yu was truly very angry.

Nan Gong Jue seemed to have been woken up by the scolding, saying, "Big brother…"

Nan Gong Yu replied, "Silence. Say another word, and you'll face family law."

Utterly absurd!

He was still sitting nearby, and that woman opened her mouth to slander.

Nan Gong Jue actually believed it.

He truly doesn't know whether he's angry because Nan Gong Jue's head was chewed by a dog, or whether he should be angry at that bad woman who's still playing the pitiful.

Nan Gong Jue fell silent.

Nan Gong Yu looked at him, "Apologize to your Elder Sister-in-law. Both of you together."

Under Nan Gong Yu's authority, Nan Gong Jue couldn't resist and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."

Song Huan Yan's expression turned cold.

Seeing Nan Gong Yu lose his temper like that, Qiao An didn't dare to sob.

She could only hurriedly say, "Elder Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."

Song Huan Yan ignored her.

She also ignored Nan Gong Jue.

Instead, she turned her gaze to Nan Gong Yu and said, "I refuse."

Nan Gong Yu looked at her.

Song Huan Yan said, "What, a candy a day? I refuse. I'm not that idle."

Nan Gong Yu took her hand, "Understood."

At this moment, Gu Qinghe arrived.

She didn't know how many people had quarreled, but she was very happy to see Song Huan Yan.

She cheerfully stepped forward and said, "Yan Yan, you're here!"

Song Huan Yan composed herself, stood up, pursed her lips and smiled, "Mom."

"Sit quickly, sit quickly." Gu Qinghe stepped forward and affectionately took her hand.

Nangong Ren also arrived and said, "Yi Han Yi Chen, have tea with me for a while."

Both brothers called out together, "Father."

Nangong Ren was clearly delighted and said, "Let's go to the study for tea; the meal won't be ready for a while yet."

Nan Gong Jue stood up, "Alright."

Nan Gong Yu didn't rise immediately; instead he looked at Song Huan Yan, "You keep Mom company; I'll go keep Father company."

Song Huan Yan nodded.

Nan Gong Yu stared at her for two seconds, then suddenly leaned close to her ear, "Are you angry?"

Song Huan Yan was stunned for a moment, then… shook her head.

Nan Gong Yu sat up straight, raised his hand to rub her head, and only then stood, "I'm heading to the study."

Song Huan Yan nodded, "Mm."

Lord Yu lifted his foot and left, and Meng Changfeng hurriedly followed.

Nan Gong Jue glanced at Qiao An, "I'll be back in a moment."

Qiao An nodded.

Nan Gong Jue followed Nan Gong Yu, but Nan Gong Yu clearly quickened his pace by several steps, not wanting to pay him any mind.

Gu Qinghe didn't even notice Qiao An, let alone that her eyes were a bit red.

Instead, she smiled happily at Song Huan Yan.

Seeing Song Huan Yan and Nan Gong Yu so affectionate, as if they were on good terms, she was overjoyed.

The servants at Yu Yuan had already told her that the two were sharing a room.

Doesn't that mean she'll soon be holding a grandson!

Gu Qinghe held Song Huan Yan's hand, pursed her lips and smiled, "I've always known you and Yi Han share a deep fate. Seeing how well you get along, I'm truly happy."

Song Huan Yan dutifully said, "Mom, rest assured, I'll take good care of Grandfather Nan Gong Yu."

Gu Qinghe's smile grew brighter, and she said, "Why take care of him? He's a grown man; a bit rough is fine. He's older than you, and only you could instantly agree to be his wife. Otherwise he'd remain a lifelong bachelor. So he should take care of you."

Gu Qinghe's words made Song Huan Yan laugh, and warmed her heart tightly.

She nodded, "Then I'll treat him well too."

Gu Qinghe laughed, "Alright, alright. I think the most important thing is to have children sooner."

When she said that, Song Huan Yan's beautiful face flushed slightly.

But she simply nodded and said, "I understand, Mom."

She was filial, following the elder's words.

Gu Qinghe indeed became ecstatic, her face radiant.

Because she urged so quickly, Song Huan Yan was obedient and sensible, saying nothing to refuse.

Gu Qinghe patted her hand, "I'm just mentioning it; the specifics still depend on you two. As long as you know what's in your heart, that's fine, but don't be nervous—let nature take its course. Whenever good news arrives, I'm fine with it."

Song Huan Yan said, "Alright."

Gu Qinghe smiled and added, "Ideally one son and one daughter."

Song Huan Yan couldn't help but laugh, yet she understood perfectly.

Next year, Nan Gong Yu will be thirty‑two.

As a mother, the desire to hold a grandchild is entirely understandable.

Moreover, Nan Gong Yu is the family's eldest son, the pillar of the household.

Song Huan Yan smiled, "Mm, I'll follow your wishes."

Gu Qinghe instantly laughed, unable to close her mouth.

Qiao An and Nan Gong Lin were still nearby.

When Qiao An heard Gu Qinghe tell Song Huan Yan to have a child sooner, she was instantly displeased!

Song Huan Yan, that old scoundrel, what right does she have to bear children for Nan Gong Yu?

Heh, still buying candy for Nan Gong Jue!

What a shameless person!

Flattering for no reason, giving candy after hearing his story, clearly having designs on Nan Gong Jue.

Nan Gong Yu was still being coaxed and deceived by her, and he threw such a huge tantrum for her.

Qiao An was extremely irritated inside.

But at that moment, Nan Gong Lin took the initiative and said to Qiao An, "You quickly continue—what other fun things were there when you were filming?"

Nan Gong Lin had a pretty good impression of Qiao An.
