Chapter 5:

After lunch, Ning Mu went to Ning Qing to make a big fuss. Before it was time for dinner, the old lady sent someone over.
The maid next to the old lady came over and announced: "Madame, old lady, please come over."
"Mother." Ning Nuan suddenly looked at Mother Ning worriedly.
If Ning Mu will be so weak, a large part of the reason is the old lady. When she first married into Ning Mansion, she was very affectionate with Father Ning. The old lady was afraid that she would coax Father Ning to stop helping her two younger brothers. As soon as she entered Ning Mansion, she found an opportunity to beat her. Outside, Ning's mother must be "sensible". Ning mother's temperament was not tough at first, but later became weaker, and of course, it also made the old lady more satisfied.
Ning Mu Shi Shiran stood up and replied, "I'm going now."
After she finished speaking, she patted Ning Nuan's hand comfortably, then turned around and walked out with the maid.
After she left, Ning Nuan thought for a while, and said to Xiang Tao: "Go and call your brother over, just say that the lady was called away by the old lady. Let him go find the old lady."
Xiangtao should come down and ran out in a panic.
Even though she did something that she hadn't dared to do before, even if Ning's mother had made countless preparations in her heart, her fear of the old lady was already instinctive, and she had been strong enough to approach the courtyard of the old lady. , She couldn't help but feel guilty in her heart.
In the room, the old lady Ning was sitting on the main seat, and the maids were waiting on the side. The second lady took Ning Qing and sat on her left hand position. Ning Qing’s eyes were a little red, and she had obviously just cried. Seeing Mother Ning came in, she immediately reddened her eyes and looked at the old lady pitifully. Tears flickered in her eyes. Although she didn't say a word, the old lady's heart trembled with pity.
Looking at Mother Ning again, Mrs. Ning also had sullen eyes in her eyes.
Mother Ning bowed her to her, and then stood there without saying a word.
"Old folks, I heard that you took people to Ningqing's yard and took away all her jewelry?" The old lady said slightly angrily: "As an elder, your behavior is so absurd, don't say Is it to let outsiders know the joke, even in the mansion, where you did this and other things, and where do you put Dafang's face? If you let outsiders know, our entire Ning family will be faceless."
Mother Ning clenched her fists and snorted coldly, and said: "That's why she buried A Nuan first. According to the old lady, the juniors don't respect the elders. Can the elders teach her the rules?"
I've heard Ning Qing talk about the drastic change in Ning's temperament, but when I saw it with my own eyes, everyone present couldn't help but be surprised.
The second lady frequently looked at her with surprise, even the old lady was taken aback.
Ning Qing said with red eyes and grieved: "I have explained to my eldest mother that it was the maid who gave the wrong material. It was not that I deliberately wanted to bully Sister Nuan. I already told the eldest mother, why did you listen to her? My explanation?"
The second wife was protecting Ning Qing, and said to herself: "Sister Nuan acted so impulsively, saying it was for the sake of Sister Nuan, but if it falls in the eyes of others, it means Sister Nuan is tired by Sister Nuan, and Sister Nuan’s age is also It's time to talk about kissing. If you let outsiders know that Sister Nuan has a wife like you, I'm afraid this reputation won't be good, right?"
"Fame?" Ning Mu coldly snorted, "What is A Nuan's reputation outside?"
"What do you mean?"
Mother Ning said bitterly: "You are asking your daughter how she and Ning Xin are talking about A Nuan outside!"
A guilty conscience flashed in Ning Qing's eyes, and she immediately lowered her head, not daring to meet Ning Mu's gaze.
The second lady looked back at her and said, "Even so, you can't do this kind of thing. Sister Qing is still a girl, and she always respects you. You snatched all her jewelry away, not to mention it. Just look at what you do, which looks like an elder."
"Why don't my younger siblings teach me what the elders should look like?" Mother Ning broke her fingers and counted: "I only took half of Ning Qing's jewelry, and they were all bought by me for her own money. It was rewarded by the old lady, and you gave it to my younger siblings. It’s okay to stay in her room. I don’t care about her things. Of course I admit what I do, but don’t rely on me for what I didn’t do. On the head, I took the half that I gave. Ning Qing touched her lips and it became all. A Nuan did not provoke her, but she was still out there to ruin A Nuan’s reputation, brother and sister, you and me Tell me, I’m an elder, is it wrong to teach her well?"
Before the second wife continued to say, Ning's mother robbed him again: "Now it is us A Nuan. If it is not too long, she will arrange Ning Xin again. Our A Nuan has swallowed this loss, but Sister Xin will talk about it later. My dear, her reputation is bad, and who will tell her to kiss?"
"You...what nonsense are you talking about!" The second lady looked at her angrily, and couldn't believe that the person in front of her was the usual soft wife. She and Ning's mother had been a concubine for so many years, when did she ever see Ning's mother speak so loudly?
"You are not here to ruin Sister Qing's reputation, how can my sister Qing do such a thing!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the second lady regretted it.
No one knows her daughter better than her. Ning Qing just bowed her head and didn't respond. It was obvious that she had done this kind of thing.
She hated her in her heart, guessing that Ning Mu's temperament changed suddenly because of the news. When Ning Nuan’s future marriage is involved, her good reputation has been destroyed. If she doesn’t meet any good people in the future, how could Ning’s mother give up so easily?
It's a pity, I don't know which girl is chewing her tongue, and she was discovered so quickly.
The second wife didn't know. Mother Ning didn't know about this until she told Ning Nuan to kiss her in her last life.
At that time, the girls in the family were all at the right age. Naturally, there were matchmakers who came to propose marriage with posts, but good people came to Ning Qing and Ningxin. After reading all the posts, there was no one with the right conditions. Just anxious.
But she was trapped in a deep house, and she didn’t move much with any wife. Ning’s two younger siblings had to do anything about the Ning’s family. The news about Ning’s mother was blocked, and no one took the initiative to take this matter. Tell her things.
If you can't see it well, of course it's impossible to get married. This dragged and dragged it until Ning Nuan was favored by King An. A decree was directly given to the marriage, and there was no chance for them to choose.
It wasn't until later that as the mother of the princess, Ningmu accidentally learned at the wedding banquet that other people were talking about her daughter and Wang An as a broken pot with a broken cover. Suspiciousness arose in her heart, and then she asked someone to inquire about it. The two girls in the room did something secretly. The female families of the various houses invited Ning Nuan to have a banquet. The old lady always found excuses to keep Ning Nuan. The Lord was not there. The two sisters went outside and said that Ning Nuan treated her servants harshly and abused her sisters. Naturally, good people will no longer put her on the list of daughter-in-laws, and those who handed over the posts are nothing more than fancy Ning's family background.
If it weren't for her smart, A Nuan, who had clarified her reputation after marrying An Wang, she wouldn't know how it was arranged by others!
Her Nuan is so good in every way. If it weren't for the two sisters, who had already booked a good house, how could he be favored by King An and suffer so many wrongs after entering the palace?
Thinking of this, Ning's mother gritted her teeth, wishing to tear up the sisters' innocent faces.
She raised her head directly and looked at the old lady Ning: "If the old lady doesn’t believe me, just go find someone to ask, have they ever said a good thing to Ah Nuan outside? The old lady said that I was deceiving people too much today, and I just took it. I returned to the jewelry I gave away. They are all things outside of the body, but how did they spoil A Nuan’s reputation outside? If I happen to know that there will be no one to say to A Nuan in the future, then my Nuan should Who do you want to cry? Will the old lady still be the master of Anuan?"
The old lady closed her eyes lightly and said nothing.
The second wife reputedly said: "Sister Qing is still young and has a stubborn temperament. She doesn't know what to say or what not to say. I will find a chance to make it clear in the future, why are you so careless."
Mother Ning sneered: "Sister Qing is not young anymore. She is about the same age as A Nuan, and it's time to say a kiss. I don't know if the things that ruined the reputation of her sisters in the family have spread, can she talk about good people."
The second wife said angrily: "Sister Qing is just a young and ignorant and said a few nonsense. You said it, too. Sister Xin is the same. Maybe it was Sister Xin talking outside, and Sister Ning was wronged. That one."
"My younger sister said that, why don't I call Sister Xin and the third younger siblings too, you should face each other?" Mother Ning snorted, "I think Sister Qing did this kind of thing. You are also the second younger sibling. No way, I'm an elder aunt, and I taught her what it means to respect the eldest sister. On the contrary, I made Sister Qing wronged?"
"you……"
The second lady looked at her in disbelief, knowing she was such a sharp-mouthed person for the first time.
"Okay." Old lady Ning opened her eyes and said, "The noise made me a headache."
Ning's mother nodded and said, "The old lady called me, also for this matter. Look at the old lady, do I teach the rules, right?"
Old Madam Ning glanced at Ning Qing faintly, then retracted her gaze, and said: "In this case, Sister Qing also knows that she is wrong. Let her apologize to Sister Nuan. You can return those things to her. Apologize to her, this matter is over."
The second lady's face suddenly showed joy.
Mother Ning almost laughed, "The old lady is right? Isn't it possible that Ning Qing and me should be thanked?"
Mrs. Ning frowned: "Today you are making a big fuss. Sister Qing has been frightened. Now that you are finished, she also knows that she was wrong. What else can't be done?"
This is really awkward!
I also apologized. I'm afraid that after sending those jewelry to Ning Qing's house, she will have to pay for a new one to suppress her shock, right?
Mother Ning opened her mouth and wanted to say something more. There was a loud noise outside, and she interrupted her words.
Ning Lang hurriedly ran in, followed by the servant girl who blocked him. Hearing Xiangtao's message, he rushed over immediately, for fear that Ning's mother would accept any wrongdoing. Although he ignored the matter of the back house, he also knew that every time the old lady called his mother over, there was always nothing good, so he didn't dare to delay at all and ran over immediately.
But as soon as he stepped into the door, he met the few eyes that looked over in the room, and when he saw Ning Mu's face, there were no tears. It was not like the usual aggrieved appearance, and he froze in place for a long time. I forgot to say the words.
He scratched his head and held back for a long time before saying: "Mother, my father...my father is back."
