Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 911: Chapter 911: Have Him Come to My Study (1st Update)

”The master and young miss are back!”

When the returning caravan halted before the manor’s gates, the entire Tang Family was abuzz with excitement.

Then, starting from the main gate and following a central axis, all the intermediary doors of the eighteen courtyards were opened in sequence.

Countless house servants lined up on both sides, as the rotund Family Head Tang Sheng and the increasingly influential young miss Tang Ling’er stepped through the threshold.

These house servants all bowed in unison.

”We welcome the master and young miss home safely!”

This display made Tang Sheng stroke his beard, his face brimming with triumphant pride.

However, Tang Ling’er showed no expression, standing quietly behind her father without uttering a word.

The father and daughter pair walked directly through the first few courtyards, arriving at the boundary between the inner living quarters and the front courtyard.

Tang Sheng’s current wife, Yao Yu, as well as Yao Chaofeng, were both waiting there.

Upon seeing Tang Sheng,

Yao Yu curtsied gracefully, ”My lord!”

Tang Sheng, his heart swelled with joy, nodded and smiled, ”Why such formalities between us? The wind is strong here, what if you catch cold?”

Yao Yu’s face was filled with fond admiration, ”My lord, you’ve been busy outside for many days, it’s my duty to welcome your return.”

”Good! I haven’t spoiled you for nothing!” Tang Sheng nodded with great satisfaction.

At this time, Yao Chaofeng also approached with a sycophantic smile, ”Uncle!”

Indeed.

In everyday life, Yao Chaofeng would address Tang Sheng as ’uncle’.

Faced with this peculiar form of address, Tang Sheng was quite pleased, ”Chaofeng, how have your studies been lately?”

”Replying to uncle, I have been diligent in my studies and feel that I have made substantial progress,” Yao Chaofeng replied obediently.

Tang Sheng casually asked a few questions, and Yao Chaofeng answered each with fluency.

This made Tang Sheng’s eyes light up, and he praised, ”Truly not bad, you have indeed made progress in your studies. It seems you have been working hard recently!”

”It’s all thanks to uncle’s excellent guidance,” Yao Chaofeng did not forget to flatter Tang Sheng in the moment.

Tang Sheng, however, relished the flattery and smiled as he stroked his beard, just about to say something.

Then, Yao Yu, who had been smiling quietly, suddenly said, ”My lord, there’s something I’m not sure whether I should discuss or not.”

”Oh? We’re all family here, what’s there to hesitate about?”

”It’s... about Ling’er,” Yao Yu said with a hesitant look.

”Ling’er?” Tang Sheng was slightly stunned, then turned his head to glance at the silent Tang Ling behind, ”What about Ling’er?”

As if gathering all her courage, Yao Yu said somewhat sheepishly, ”Nothing is wrong with Ling’er, but while you and Ling’er were away, a man came seeking refuge, and he was then arranged to stay in a small courtyard just a wall away from the inner living quarters where Ling’er resides!”

”Of course, these matters shouldn’t be for me to discuss. However, my lord, now that Ling’er has grown into her full stature, such things must be avoided. Otherwise, if it gets out, it could damage our Tang Family’s reputation!”

After hearing Yao Yu’s words, Tang Sheng’s expression changed dramatically, ”A man came seeking refuge? Who is he?”

And Tang Ling’er’s face also subtly shifted at that moment.

Yao Chaofeng hastened to say, ”Uncle, I had intended to discuss this matter with you privately later, but since my Aunt Yu has already brought it up, I will tell you. This visitor seeking refuge is named Xue An!”

Xue An!

This name, like a thunderclap, caused Tang Sheng to start before his eyes flashed with a cold light.

”Ling’er, is this true?” Tang Sheng turned to ask his daughter.

Tang Ling’er inwardly sighed and then gave a slight nod, ”Father, Xue An really did come, and it was I who invited him!”

Tang Sheng’s expression grew even more somber.

Nowadays, household affairs were all managed by Tang Ling’er, and he rarely interfered; therefore, had it not been for Yao Yu’s mention, he would have been completely unaware of this matter.

And if it had been anyone else, it might have been fine.

But it just had to be this Xue An!

For Tang Sheng, the memory of this neighbor’s son before he made his fortune was vivid.

But it was far from a good impression.

In Tang Sheng’s eyes, this youth, who came from poverty yet harbored no great ambitions, was simply not a good match.

Especially after the Tang Family made a fortune overnight and entered the Capital City to become a powerful clan, the gap between the two families widened like heaven and earth.

What’s most important is that Tang Sheng had only one precious daughter, Tang Ling’er.

Tang Sheng had planned for her to find a reliable son-in-law to inherit the vast Tang family fortune.

Someone like Yao Chaofeng was a candidate to be observed and nurtured.

But Xue An was an only son and also a scholar; he certainly would not be willing to marry into the family.

This fact alone blocked all possibilities.

Therefore, although Tang Sheng vaguely knew of his daughter’s feelings, he had never actually considered them.

But who could have imagined that during his short time out,

Xue An would actually come looking for him, and it was his own daughter who had invited him over.

This naturally infuriated Tang Sheng.

Yet, unable to bear being harsh to his beloved daughter, he could only stomp his foot in anger and coldly said, ”Tell Xue An to come see me in the study later!”

With that, he turned and strode away angrily.

After Tang Sheng left,

Yao Yu said apologetically, ”Ling’er, your aunt did not mean to embarrass you intentionally. But a girl’s reputation is of utmost importance and cannot be taken lightly; this is for your own good!”

Hearing Yao Yu’s words, Tang Ling’er remained silent, only giving Yao Yu and Yao Chaofeng a cold glance before turning away.

Yao Yu, feeling unable to save face, stood there with an embarrassed look.

Only after Tang Ling’er had walked far away,

did she clench her teeth in vexation, ”This Tang Ling’er has never taken me, her aunt, seriously!”

Yao Chaofeng stood by, eyeing Tang Ling’er’s retreating figure with a malevolent gaze.

He always felt that this seemingly delicate girl was growing at a terrifyingly fast pace.

Every time she returned from going out, she surprised Yao Chaofeng.

Especially when her beautiful phoenix eyes swept over him, causing a wave of fear in his heart, as if she could see through all his secrets.

”Feng’er, this young lady is not so easy to fool! You better think it over, whether you can truly tame her,” Yao Yu said in a low voice at that moment.

Yao Chaofeng snorted coldly, ”Mother, rest assured, I have my ways!”

Meanwhile, Tang Ling’er had already strode briskly to the courtyard where Xue An lived.

Qing’er hurried over after hearing the news.

”Miss!”

Tang Ling’er nodded, ”He... lives here?”

Qing’er nodded, ”Miss, shall I go in and announce your arrival?”

Tang Ling’er shook her head, ”No need!”

With that, she stretched out her delicate hand and pushed the door open directly.

The courtyard was empty.

Remembering the rumors, Tang Ling’er’s expression grew even colder.

At this moment, Chan’er came out with a tray of tea, startled at first to see Tang Ling’er, then she said with delight, ”Sister Tang?”
