Di Jin was taken aback, then darkened his expression, suppressing his anger: “I am not here without reason. I want to discuss some matters with Wang Ye personally.”
“If so, discussing with me is the same.”
“You?” Di Jin looked at her with contempt.
Ning Wan Wan stared at him, curling her lips in a cold laugh, “What? Does Di Daren look down on me, the Wang Fei?”
Di Jin’s gaze flickered, seeming to ponder before saying, “Since Wang Fei says so, I won’t beat around the bush. The reason I came to the Yi Wang’s residence today is to ask Wang Ye to return my son.”
Ning Wan Wan raised an eyebrow, “My son?”
“…My son, Di Huan.” Di Jin gritted his teeth.
Ning Wan Wan thought for a moment, then said, “Oh, I remember now. The young master who publicly harassed me at the Peony Terrace.”
Di Jin’s face reddened. He cupped his fists at Ning Wan Wan: “My son was rash and offended Wang Fei. Please forgive him.”
Ning Wan Wan smiled ambiguously, “Di Daren is right. Your son was indeed rash and ignorant to publicly harass me. If not for my Wang Ye’s benevolence stopping me, I might have gone to the palace to request the Emperor seek justice for me.”
Her warning was clear. Despite Si Zhan’s secret dislike from the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, he was still a noble prince, and Ning Wan Wan was originally a Princess from the Ning Guo Kung Mansion. If Di Huan publicly harassed Ning Wan Wan and it reached the Emperor, the consequences would be severe for both the Di and Ning families.
Di Jin understood her warning and dropped his previous arrogance, saying seriously, “This subordinate thanks Wang Fei for her generosity.”
Ning Wan Wan did not accept his gratitude. She took a sip of her tea and asked, “Di Huan is Di Daren’s son. Why has Di Daren come to the Yi Wang’s residence to demand him?”
Di Jin narrowed his eyes, “My son has not returned home for five or six days.”
Ning Wan Wan laughed, “What does my Yi Wang’s residence have to do with your son not returning home?”
“Yi Wang Fei, let’s speak plainly. If you agree to return my son, I promise to forget past grievances.”
