Chapter 553: Old Master Nie’s decision

Nie Qinyu understood the intention behind his father’s words. Old Master Nie just wanted to make sure of his illegitimate daughter’s character before acknowledging her into the family. If she appeared to be greedy or someone who could bring trouble to the family, Old Master Nie would not allow Nie Qinyu to acknowledge her. This was just to prevent unnecessary trouble for the family.

Nie Qinyu smiled, "Father, I know you want to assess her, but there is no need for it. You already know her."

Old Master Nie was stunned, "What do you mean I know her? Who is she?"

Nie Qinyu replied calmly, "Father, Mother, my illegitimate daughter is Qin Yan, the one who treated father and the one who is Xi Ting’s fiancé now."

"What?"

Almost everyone exclaimed in unison. This shock was greater than that of the news of illegitimate daughter. However, some people were pleasantly shocked to hear this, while some people’s face turned entirely black.

Old Master Nie’s eyes lit up subconsciously, ’Qin Yan is the illegitimate daughter of my son. Doesn’t that mean that she is my granddaughter?’

Old Madam Nie was also shocked but she did not feel anything on knowing about this. It was just that she knew that Qin Yan, who turned out to be her granddaughter was a very good girl and there were no problems in her character.

Meanwhile, Nei Zehai, Lin Shuang and Nie Zhaoyang were also shocked. Lin Shuang obviously was happy to know about this while Nie Zhaoyang had mixed emotions. He could not figure out what he was feeling.

On the other hand, Nei Zehai’s calm face turned towards Nie Mianmian. As he had expected, Nei Mianmian’s face showed clear signs of hatred towards this news. Nei Zehai knew about his sister’s feelings towards Qin Yan. Coupled with the fact that she had turned out to be a daughter of Nie family, Nei Mianmian’s rage was no surprise for Nei Zehai.

Madam Nie’s face had also turned darker on knowing that Qin Yan was the illegitimate daughter of her husband. At first, when Old Master Nie put forth the condition of character assessment before acknowledgement from the family, Madam Nie had a hope in her heart that the girl would turn out to be greedy. And even if she was not bad by nature, they could do something to frame her and not let her get accepted into the Nie family.

However, when Nie Qinyu said Qin Yan’s name, the hope in Madam Nie’s heart shattered instantly. The Nie family was already familiar with Qin Yan and they knew what the girl was like. Also, even if she did not get acknowledged by the Nie family, she had the Xi family as her in-laws. She wouldn’t even care about the Nie family if they refused to acknowledge her.

But this was not going to happen. Given the fondness of the family towards Qin Yan, they would definitely acknowledge her. Madam Nie’s thoughts came true the next moment.

Old Master Nie said in a happy voice, "Since your illegitimate daughter is Qin Yan, we will accept her. We already know of her character and there is no question of her morals and ethics. Also, I hope that the whole family will get along with her when we call her home. Since she is an illegitimate daughter, we won’t throw an acknowledgement party for her but we also must not disrespect her in any way when she comes home. The child is innocent. Am I clear to everybody?"

The people in the room nodded their heads with mixed emotions.

At this time, Lin Shuang brought the two children outside. Even if not about the illegitimate daughter thing, the children must know that Qin Yan would be their Second aunt from now on.

"Great-grandpa, Great-grandpa, Mommy said that Sister Yan will be our aunt from now on, right?"

Tong Tong’s facial features were extremely exquisite, and her parents were especially good at dressing up this daughter. Coupled with her innocent and childish roundness, Old Master Nie would be extremely happy every time he saw his great-granddaughter. His originally rough and loud voice would instantly become extremely gentle.

"That’s right, that’s right! Qin Yan is your Second Aunt. When Tong Tong sees her in the future, she must call her Auntie!"

Tong Tong was very happy, "Then...Auntie will also buy me strawberry-flavored cotton candy and strawberry-flavored lollipops and strawberry-flavored gummies, right?"

"Tong Tong, other than eating strawberry-flavored sweets all day long, do you have any other skills?"

Tong Tong looked at Little Ye and answered in all seriousness, "I do!"

Then, she made her signature move, the peace sign. Tong Tong then said, "I can act cute!"

The Nie family covered their mouths and tried hard not to laugh.

Old Master Nie then asked Nie Qinyu, "When are you bringing Qin Yan home?"

Nie Qinyu replied, "Dad, I haven’t spoken to her about this. She has forgiven me but she still hasn’t accepted me. So, I did not want to burden her. I wish to take things slow."

"Okay," Old Master Nie looked at Nie Qinyu solemnly, "Despite the fact that Qin Yan is your illegitimate daughter, you have done a grave mistake. According to the rules of the Nie family, you must spend one month near the ancestral home of the Nie family. Since the ancestral house is in the village area, you have to spend a month in the village. You cannot do any business or any job at that time. You have to survive by begging for food or by collecting edible items from the nearby forest. You also have to stand on one leg for four hours every day. You must indulge in meditation and live a simple life for the whole month. Lastly, you cannot contact anyone from the family as your cellphone would be confiscated by me."

Nie Qinyu nodded. He had already expected this. He knew about the Nie family’s punishment and he also knew that he couldn’t escape it. Even though his health was poor, he knew that his father would not show him mercy.

Even though Old Master Nie knew that Nie Qinyu was aware of the Nie family’s punishment, he still explained it in detail for the younger generation to know about it. Actually, this was not a punishment but a purification process. Any person who did a grave mistake would be sent to the village for this purification process.

When a person who was born in such an influential family, he had everything within his reach. Even though he had to struggle to keep his position in the society, he never had to struggle for food. The power and position of such a person in the society many times led the person haywire.

So, when he had to humble himself to the extent of collecting and begging for food, he would come back to his senses. He would understand the importance of the luxuries he was living in and also stop taking everything for granted. The meditation would also help him realize his mistakes as he would definitely put a thought on the mistake he did because of which he was here.

This punishment was thought of by Old Master Nie’s father and had been carried on since then. It helped a person to see the ground reality and to gain a value of everything he possessed.

Finally, Old Master Nie turned to Madam Nie, "Daughter-in-law, I know that my decision is not fair with you. But if I refused to acknowledge the child, it would not be fair to her either. So, I am telling you now that you can give any punishment to your husband. Whatever you wish. And even if you wish to separate from him, we won’t stop you."

Old Master Nie took care of Madam Nie’s emotions too. He also understood that adultery was a big issue between a husband and a wife. Thus, he allowed Madam Nie to do anything she wished with Nie Qinyu.

Madam Nie did not understand what she should do. She just left the Nie mansion and returned to her house where she and Nie Qinyu lived. At first, she had decided to leave the Nie villa and stay at some other place. However, now that Nie Qinyu had to leave for the village, she could stay comfortably in the Nie villa. Also, she had decided that she would not leave the house and instead throw Nie Qinyu out. After all, he had done a mistake. Why should she suffer!

However, her anger did not calm down even after thinking of evicting her husband from his own house. She called someone and said, "I want Su Cen’s information. I also want to make her disappear from the world."

Madam Nie felt that her anger would disappear only with the disappearance of Su Cen. Thus, she waited earnestly for the person to call her back.

Finally after 15 minutes, her source called her back. He said, "Ma’am, I have mailed all the information about Su Cen to you. However, I regret to tell you that we cannot even touch her."
