21、chapter one 17 Xua

　　Xuan Huaifeng had been restless and on edge indoors for half an hour. Several times he tried to go check on his sister, only to be stopped by Nanny Zhang every time.

　　After what felt like an eternity, a young maid came over.
　　“Is Young Master here?”

　　Nanny Zhang answered at once, “Yes. Is it time for dinner?”

　　“Yes, Madam sent me to call you. Dinner is ready. Please go to the dining hall.”

　　Xuan Huaifeng arrived at the dining room.

　　Mr. and Mrs. Nian were already seated at the table, where dishes were being served. Being a reunion dinner, the spread was rich and abundant.

　　Xuan Huaifeng’s face clouded over. He shot Nian Liangfu a sharp, cutting look before stepping to Xuan Daiyun’s side and murmuring, “Sister, are you all right?”

　　“What could be wrong?” Xuan Daiyun replied coolly, her eyes lifting to meet his. “The food’s being served. Sit down.”

　　Her makeup had been freshly applied—thick, heavy, and strong scented, no doubt hiding faint finger marks on her skin.

　　Before Xuan Huaifeng could press her further, she poked him in the waist, tilted her chin toward Nian Liangfu, and chided, “You fool. Won’t you greet your brother-in-law?”
