Zhou Shu hurried to greet her, noting that Ning Wan Wan had dressed up today. Her complexion was fresh, resembling peach blossoms in March, despite her recent injuries.
“Wang Fei.”
Ning Wan Wan nodded at Zhou Shu, who led her into the main hall.
Di Jin and Liu Duyou stood up as she entered, with one cupping his hands and the other bowing formally.
“Di has seen the Yi Wang Fei.”
“This subordinate pays respects to Wang Fei.”
Ning Wan Wan’s cold gaze swept over the two men, and without speaking, she sat in the main seat. Then she smiled slightly, saying, “Two lords, please be at ease.”
Di Jin exchanged glances with Liu Duyou, remaining standing with a displeased expression.
They were waiting for the Yi Wang, but unexpectedly, the Yi Wang Fei appeared, clearly carrying herself with authority.
Ning Wan Wan pointed to the chairs and said, “Please sit.”
Zhou Shu served Ning Wan Wan a cup of hot tea.
The two men sat down as instructed.
Di Jin urgently asked, “Yi Wang Fei, I heard that Yi Wang is ill?”
Ning Wan Wan skimmed the tea foam and sighed, “Di Daren heard correctly. My Wang Ye is indeed ill.”
“May I ask what illness Wang Ye has?”
Ning Wan Wan stared into Di Jin’s eyes and countered, “Does Di Daren not already know?”
Di Jin sensed an implication in her words but couldn’t be sure, maintaining a cold stare.
Ning Wan Wan lowered her eyes, took a sip of tea, and said, “My Wang Ye has been sickly since childhood. This time, his old illness has relapsed.”
Di Jin was stunned, not expecting her to refer to a relapse of an old illness.
“When can Wang Ye meet with us?”
Ning Wan Wan shook her head wearily, “The old illness is fierce. Within half a month, he will likely be unable to get up.”
Half a month?
This was a clear delaying tactic. Thinking of Di Huan’s uncertain fate, Di Jin’s tone became harsh, “Then I will go to Wang Ye’s bedside to see him.”
“Di Daren!” Ning Wan Wan set the tea cup down heavily, her gaze cold as she looked at Di Jin, “It is already improper to come uninvited. Are you planning to forcibly intrude into the Yi Wang’s residence?”
