Chapter 1507: Mediation (4)
Translator: 549690339
“Miss Leng, you’ve misunderstood. We invited you here to discuss something with you, and it’s not what you think.” After hearing Leng ruoxue’s words, the acting Master of the ning family, Ning Yuan, finally spoke.
“I wonder what you have to discuss with me, patriarch ning? I don’t seem to have much interaction with the ning family, do I?” Leng ruoxue smiled faintly and picked up the teacup on the table without any reservations. She took a sip of tea.
“Miss Leng, I heard that you have some misunderstanding with the Chi family? We’re just trying to be the middleman to help you mediate. ” Ning Yuan’s smile was very kind. However, Leng ruoxue could tell at a glance that this fellow was a Smiling Tiger who hid a dagger behind his smile.
Ning Yuan looked like he was in his forties. He was very handsome and somewhat similar to the ancestor of the ning family. Moreover, although he was the acting Master, he was the descendant of his ancestor’s grandson. Therefore, there were many people in the family who were of higher seniority than him. Fortunately, the divine world was a world where strength was respected. Otherwise, he, as the divine Emperor, would have been aggrieved to death! However, even so, he still had many elders above him.
“I have a misunderstanding with the Chi family? How come I didn’t know about it?” Leng ruoxue looked at Ning Yuan with a face full of questions.
“Young lady Leng, someone from the Chi family said that you’ve captured their family’s Biao young lady. So, they hope that you can be magnanimous and let that Biao young lady off. Then, the Chi family will not pursue this matter.” One of the elders explained in an indifferent tone.
The elder who spoke looked to be in his forties. Although he was not very handsome, he was still considered handsome. Moreover, from the tone of his words, it was clear that he did not take it too seriously. It was just that the other party had come to beg him, so he was just making a small gesture.
“I’m afraid this elder is mistaken, I didn’t capture the Chi family’s Biao young lady. ” Leng ruoxue was a little speechless. She thought to herself,”could the cousin that I caught be Meiling?” That guy was not her captive!
“Miss Leng, we’ve already investigated. The Chi family’s Biao young lady is indeed in your hands, and she’s being watched by your subordinates!” The elder said, and the other elders present did not interrupt.
“But she really isn’t my captive. Furthermore, have the subst.i.tute patriarch and the elders investigated why she was captured?” Leng ruoxue asked with a smile.
“This …” Ning Yuan and the other elders didn’t know what to say. They only knew that Leng ruoxue had a cousin from the Chi family, but they didn’t know why. Their original intention was to mediate and get Leng ruoxue to hand over the cousin so that they could give the Chi family an explanation. Therefore, they didn’t care about the dispute between them.
“Acting family head, elders, I’ll make it clear to you now. Miss Meiling is not my prisoner. She was captured by the Tiger couple beside me. Moreover, the husband has made it clear that as long as the Chi family pays for the mental damage and medical expenses, they will return her. But I don’t understand what they said to you. How did it become me who captured miss Meiling? If I didn’t cure his wife and child, we would have been buried in the Tiger’s mouth. Oh right, one of them is from your ning family. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him what happened. His name is Ning Hai. ” Leng ruoxue explained calmly.
“Hmph! Didn’t you say that those Tigers are your Beastie? Since it’s your Beastie, then what’s the difference between it and you capturing a person? it’s just a matter of your words. Besides, how would Beastie know to ask for mental damage and medical expenses from a person? it’s clearly what you, the master, want. ” At this time, another elder said in an extremely unfriendly tone.
“I’m sorry, they’re not our Beastie, so I can’t order them around. ” Leng ruoxue said disapprovingly.
“So you were lying when you said they were your Beastie?! The elder who spoke continued.
“Did I tell you that they are my Beastie? How come I don’t remember?” Leng ruoxue furrowed her brows as if she was reminiscing.
“Didn’t you tell Butler Ning Yan?” The elder warned.
“Oh! In fact, I only said that for the safety of the road. Otherwise, if someone has ideas about them, it will cause us trouble. ” Leng ruoxue told them the truth. She didn’t think that Ning Yan was the one who had told them this. She guessed that they had probably heard it from the guards.
“You actually dared to deceive us?” The elder was enraged after hearing Leng ruoxue’s words.
“Deceive you? Did I?” Leng ruoxue had a smile that was not a smile on her face. This was a heavy accusation. However, before she understood the elder’s intentions, she would not say anything more.
“Of course there is! Our ning family can’t be played like monkeys. ” The elder continued.
“AI! I didn’t say you were monkeys, nor did I play with you. However, if you really want to think that way, I can’t object. ” Leng ruoxue sighed and said helplessly.
When Ning Yuan heard Leng ruoxue’s words, he felt his face burn. In fact, he was a little annoyed that nineteenth elder didn’t know how to speak. In fact, he wasn’t lying to them. After all, he wasn’t saying this to them. Moreover, it was normal to tell white lies when one was outside. Therefore, he really didn’t blame Leng ruoxue. He just didn’t know what was wrong with nineteenth elder today. F * ck! Did he receive benefits from the Chi clan? He could not help but think to himself.
Actually, according to his original plan, he would just ask about the Chi family’s matter. There was no need to take it too seriously. After all, the one who was arrested wasn’t a proper young lady of the Chi family. As for Leng ruoxue, since the second elder had arranged for her to stay in the courtyard, she might have some background. Therefore, he didn’t dare to make things difficult for her. However, he didn’t expect that the nineteenth elder would hold onto her weak point and wouldn’t let go. Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed.
“You …” Nineteenth elder was so angry that he couldn’t speak. He didn’t expect this little girl to have such a sharp tongue. It was preposterous. However, even though he was angry, he knew that he couldn’t win against her. In addition, the acting family head kept shooting daggers at him, so he could only give in and stop.
“Miss Leng, actually, we don’t have any other meaning in asking about this matter. It’s just that our ning family and Chi family have a pretty good relations.h.i.+p, and they’ve come to beg us, so we want to mediate on your behalf. Can you let go of that cousin of the Chi family for the sake of our ning family?” At this time, Ning Yuan spoke. Moreover, his tone was very good and full of discussion.
“Master ning, although I really want to let her go, she’s not my captive, so I really can’t make the decision. Besides, the Tiger couple also said that as long as the Chi family pays for the mental damage and medical expenses, they will let her go. So, if the ning family wants to help, you might as well help urge the Chi family to pay for compensation! The earlier we redeem miss Meiling, the less she will suffer. ” Leng ruoxue reminded him with a smile.
