Chapter 19: Being Sincere
After Mu Rong succeeded, she immediately changed her expression, turned to Ning Hanwang, and knelt heavily on the ground.
"master!"
Mu Rong's eyes were filled with tears, revealing an indescribable sadness, her figure was gloomy, and she still had lingering hatred.
The afternoon sun shines through the window of Jingzhixuan and casts a lonely scene behind her, like a colorless ink painting, exuding endless desolation.
"My sincere love for her may not be worth mentioning to her."
"But the master has devoted himself to her for so many years, even at the cost of being branded as a concubine who despises his wife. How can she turn a blind eye to this?"
"Master knows very well that I always put you first in everything I do, so I love her and take good care of her."
"All the past events seem to be right before my eyes. How can I remain calm now?"
"The reason why I was so reckless is because I hate it so much. If the master wants to blame me, I won't have any complaints..."
After saying this, Mu Rong's emotions collapsed in an instant, she kowtowed to the ground and burst into tears.
The weather outside the window was sunny, which made Mu Rong's violent storm seem even more heartbreaking.
Ning Hanwang stood there for a long time, also heartbroken.
After all, he was a man, and he didn't cry like Mu Rong, but his eyes were red and there seemed to be tears welling up in his eyes.
Mu Rong's condition was so heartbreaking that as her husband, he naturally felt sympathy for her.
"Get up."
Ning Hanwang stepped forward personally and gently helped Mu Rong up with both hands.
On the other hand, Ning Hanwang did not even glance at the lifeless Liu Yan, as if he had already forgotten her.
"Go back home."
"Outsiders are unreliable. Madam, please take good care of me in the future."
Mu Rong burst into tears and, supported by Ning Hanwang, walked towards the carriage step by step.
……
Xiangzhu Garden.
After finding out the news, Qiu Bi trotted back, her face filled with the brightness of the afternoon sun.
"Miss, the eldest lady couldn't resist the temptation and has taken action herself to eliminate Liu."
"Everything went smoothly, just as the girl expected."
"What are you going to do next, girl?"
Ning Yunxi smiled knowingly, and her fingertips slowly and gracefully stroked the petals of the potted plants, leaving behind a lingering fragrance that was intoxicating.
"Not urgent."
“Only when you climb to the top of the clouds can you experience the pain of falling from a height.”
"Joy is in the air."
"It's rare for my mother to be favored again, so let her enjoy herself for a while."
Qiu Bi expressed concern.
"The lady is in power. If she takes the opportunity to deal with the girl, what should we do?"
Ning Yunxi rummaged through the desk, took out a prescription and handed it over.
"This prescription can relieve my second brother's illness."
"Tell her that after she has taken the medicine for ten days, I will write a new prescription."
"With these two kinds of medicine, my second brother will be cured."
"But seeing that her precious son's condition has improved, she will not act rashly and will keep me for her own use."
Qiu Bi was slightly startled.
"The young lady actually wants to cure the second young master?"
"But he has been bullying girls for many years, which is really too much."
Ning Yunxi smiled deeply, as if with some meaning.
"My second brother has just arranged a marriage, how can he marry when he is sick?"
"The third young lady in the Earl Hongshun's mansion is very 'virtuous'. It would be a pity if my second brother missed her."
Qiu Bi didn't understand for a moment.
"It is precisely because the Third Miss Zhuang, Zhuang Xianhui, is as dignified and virtuous as her name suggests that I feel there is no need to cure the Second Young Master."
"Poor Third Miss Zhuang, if she really marries the Second Young Master, she will be bullied for the rest of her life."
"Girl, do you really want to facilitate their marriage?"
Ning Yunxi raised her eyebrows.
"I not only want to facilitate their marriage, but also to promote Lord Zhuang."
"Lock up the second brother for Miss Zhuang San."
"In this way, once my second brother marries into the family, he will never be able to escape."
Qiu Bi couldn't understand.
"Bring-in-law?"
"I heard that the Second Young Master is getting married, so how can it be called marrying into the family?"
"The eldest son hasn't even got married yet, but the second son has already arranged a marriage."
"It's obvious that the eldest lady loves the second son even more than the eldest son. How could she be willing to let him marry into her family?"
Ning Yunxi reminded quietly.
"My mother arranged a marriage for me earlier than my second brother."
"Do you think mother loves me more than my second brother?"
Qiu Bi was silent for a moment, deep in thought.
Ning Yunxi continued to remind.
"My oldest brother is smarter than us, so he hasn't started a family yet."
"He lives with my mother day and night and is considered her confidant. He knew what kind of person she is from the beginning."
"Second brother is still in the dark."
"Do you know why, on the surface, mother loves my second brother more?"
"It was precisely because he knew nothing that he was completely defenseless against his mother."
"A mother doesn't like people who are too smart, nor does she like people who are too defensive, because they are hard to control."
"To her, it seems that everyone should be used by her without complaint."
"Just wait and see. People who are too selfish will never be tolerated by the law of nature."
Qiu Bi stared at Ning Yunxi with her peaceful eyes, as if there was a drizzle.
"Miss, have you... experienced something that this servant doesn't know about?"
Ning Yunxi looked at her and told her the truth.
"I was miserable all my life, and then I woke up."
"In our previous lives, you and I were both defeated."
"That's why I said you really chose the wrong person."
"Tell me, am I too persistent or too stupid?"
Qiu Bi's sincerity was mixed with a bit of heartache.
"I thought the girl had suddenly changed her personality."
"That's it. It turns out that the girl is a fire phoenix nirvana, and she came with the immortal wind."
“Earlier, even if she learned of a happy event and was sold penniless and disgraced by the lady, the girl still had to persist in her sincerity.”
"You always tell me that things don't go as planned because the girl didn't do a good enough job."
"Girls always say that there is no need to be afraid of the bumpy process. As long as you try your best and are sincere, there will be good results."
"That's true, but it depends on the person."
"How can we move the heart of the jackal lady?"
Ning Yunxi smiled bitterly.
"You advised me a lot about these things in my previous life."
"But I turned a deaf ear to it and was only devoted to filial piety."
"Brother returned with the help of the stars, and you died miserably in order to protect me."
"In my previous life, I was the one who let you down."
Qiu Bi's eyes were shocked.
"Your Majesty returned by relying on the stars?"
Ning Yunxi nodded.
"Remember last night when I was discussing countermeasures with you, I told you my brother's true identity."
Qiu Bi was still shocked.
"Yes, I remember."
"But the girl said that when they first met in this life, the prince asked about the stars, and the girl replied that the stars had not appeared."
"Why did the girl lie to the prince?"
"Just because the prince is the Emperor Jin, the young lady is taking advantage of him and is not treating him sincerely?"
Ning Yunxi's eyes dimmed.
"No."
"I lied for a reason."
"It's true. There's nothing we can do."
"I am being honest with you. I hope you can keep what I am going to say a secret for me."
Qiu Bi's gaze was blazing and as firm as a rock.
"Don't worry, young lady. I will keep my mouth shut."
