The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer

Chapter 1970 - 144: Not the Brightest

The Second Elder clenched his fist, "I’ve come this time for serious business, not for idle chitchat with you."

"Second Sister is impatient. To be fair, it’s also because Second Sister acted rashly and underestimated that kid, Xuanxuan."

"Don’t act like you’re unaware. I simply don’t believe it. Without your secret egging on, those rumors outside wouldn’t have spread like they have."

The Third Elder was speechless: "Egging on? Second Sister really thinks too highly of me. That eldest sister of ours is not easy to deal with."

She was referring to Old Lady Qin.

"All these years I’ve avoided her sharp edge because I didn’t want to clash with our elder sister. One must have self-awareness; I know I’m no match for the eldest sister."

The implication was that those city rumors had nothing to do with her, and Second Elder should not lump all the dirty and smelly things on her head.

To be honest, she could understand Second Elder’s mentality. It was nothing more than being caught in a bind and wanting to drag someone down with her to find an ally.

The Second Elder paced anxiously: "That little rascal is too clever. He tripped me up, I made a wrong move, and fell into his trap."

The Second Elder was referring to Yixuan misleading her through Yue Ning.

She sighed heavily, "Anyway, things have come to this point. I understand your intentions; you need to come up with a plan. Otherwise, do you plan to watch our Qin family’s assets all end up with an outsider mongrel?"

The Third Elder chuckled good-naturedly, "Second Sister is right, but this matter needs careful deliberation. Let’s allow me some time to think about it."

She was smoothing things over, making the Second Elder’s face flush red with anger.

Second Elder was impulsive by nature, while Third Elder was slow and methodical, always confident and assured. Their personalities were completely opposite.

At the moment, one sister was red-eyed with anger, while the other had a genial expression. Second Elder couldn’t persuade Third Elder, and seeing Second Elder’s impatience, even Third Elder couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

But that laugh was ambiguous, with a glimmer of something mysterious lurking in her eyes.

...

After leaving Third Elder, the Second Elder rushed to Yue Ning’s courtyard.

Yixuan hadn’t left yet; he didn’t plan to.

The servant glanced at Yue Ning, probably knowing his identity, and therefore wasn’t discreet.

"Master, Second Elder just went to see Third Elder."

Yixuan mused, "Not unexpected."

Yue Ning sat beside him, still holding the needle and thread.

Under Yixuan’s guidance, his stitches had improved considerably, feeling quite accomplished.

At that moment, he glanced at Yixuan and frowned.

After the servant left, Yue Ning spoke.

"Yixuan."

"Hmm?"

"I can’t help but feel..."

Yue Ning rubbed his chin, "There’s something odd. That old hag was presumed to be cunning, but is actually a bit stupid."

Yue Ning thought that this Second Elder seemed more like a clown.

So, did Yixuan plot for so long just to target a Second Elder?

If that were true, he’d have to question his brother’s intelligence.

Yixuan chuckled, "Fifth Brother noticed?"

Yue Ning rolled his eyes, with a look that said, ’Do you think I’m an idiot?’

"She looks rather silly."

Yixuan couldn’t help but laugh.
