Chapter 39 Returning with Honor

Chapter 39 Returning with Honor

In the end, Ning Yunxi was still a step late.

Ning Fengzhe successfully escaped and is on his way back to Beijing.

Upon learning that his mother had suffered, Ning Fengzhe rode as fast as he could and rushed back to the capital in just two days.

In the past two days, with Mu Yan's protection, Mu Rong did not suffer any grievances.

Ning Fengzhe did not take a moment to rest and returned to Ning Mansion immediately.

Came to Yanxiju.

"I wish you all the best, father."

"I have just come back from my trip and have not rested yet, so I came to see my father first."

Ning Hanwang sat in the main seat with the corners of his mouth slightly drooping, his gloom and dissatisfaction written directly on his face.

"Come and meet your father first?"

"There seems to be a deeper meaning in your words, but I don't know. Are you here to greet me or to hold me accountable?"

Ning Fengzhe kowtowed deeply.

"The child is terrified."

"I respect my father, so I come to pay my respects to him."

Ning Hanwang raised his lips, but there was no smile, only dullness, like a sky full of dark clouds.

"In that case, I have finished greeting you and you can go back and rest."

Ning Fengzhe did not get up and leave.

"I have something else I must tell my father."

Ning Hanwang glared at him, as cold as ice.

"Fongzhe, you are always thinking about your mother,"

"Have you forgotten that you are not only the Madam's son, but also my son?"

"Some things, you just have to treat them as passing clouds and ignore them."

"How can a junior like you interfere in the affairs of our elders?"

Ning Fengzhe nodded respectfully.

"That's what my father taught me."

"But that's not what I meant. Please don't misunderstand me, father."

"This time, the child went out to Shanchang County."

"Father may not know that Shanchang County is right near Tongrou County."

"Remembering that my father had been exiled to Tongrou County, I stopped by to take a look at his old residence."

"Unexpectedly, I met a woman who claimed that her father's old house was her home."

"He also said that she was her father's biological daughter."

Ning Hanwang's anger gradually subsided and he was slightly startled.

"Oh?"

"is it?"

"Who is her biological mother?"

Ning Fengzhe smiled secretly with satisfaction.

"She said her biological mother's name was Pan Xiangru, and she was from Tongrou."

Upon hearing the name, Ning Hanwang stared in amazement, at a loss for a moment.

Ning Fengzhe continued to repeat as if nothing had happened.

"She said,"

"When my father was exiled, he fell in love with her mother. Before he returned to Beijing, her mother was about to give birth."

"My father left in a hurry, leaving only a line of words, saying that he would send someone to pick them up after he settled down in Beijing."

"But they waited for twenty-one years."

"If they hadn't met the child, they would still not know their father's name or where he lived."

Ning Hanwang's expression of shock did not diminish, and his face was filled with shame.

"At the time, I thought there was no hope of returning to Beijing, so I refused to reveal my true identity for fear of being laughed at."

"She left in a hurry, and I really didn't think about it. Unfortunately, I delayed them for 21 years."

"By the way, what's your sister's name?"

"Where's her mother? Did she return to Beijing with you?"

Ning Fengzhe responded.

"Her maiden name is Jiewei. Since she doesn't know her father's surname, she temporarily took her mother's surname."

"Now that I'm back in Beijing, my father has acknowledged her as my sister, so naturally, she has to change back to her original surname."

Having said this, he sighed sadly.

"It's just a pity."

"My sister's biological mother died of depression because she didn't see my father for a long time and mistakenly thought that you were ungrateful and ungrateful."

Ning Hanwang was shocked again. He stood up suddenly, but accidentally lost his balance and fell back into his seat.

"what?"

"Ruer has already..."

"It's all my fault. After returning to Beijing, I completely forgot about them."

"I didn't even get to see Ru'er for the last time."

Ning Hanwang stood up again, staggered to Ning Fengzhe, and finally helped him up.

"Get up quickly."

"Where is Wei'er? Where did you put her?"

Ning Fengzhe answered while comforting his father to sit back down.

"Considering that my sister's biological mother can only be considered my father's concubine, I did not bring her back home. I let her stay in the inn for the time being."

"The child valued his father's reputation and did not mention this to anyone."

"Just wait for father to make a decision, and then arrange the next things."

Ning Hanwang's gloom was swept away and a smile appeared on his face.

"Well, you are still calm and thoughtful."

"For this matter, I really want to thank you."

"Ru'er, after more than 20 years, with such deep love, it is natural that you should be enshrined in the ancestral hall."

"Just call her Aunt."

"Tell the public that Ru'er is ill and has been recuperating in the suburbs of Beijing, and Wei'er is accompanying her."

"Now that Ru'er has passed away, Wei'er has fulfilled her filial duty. As the fourth daughter of the Ningguo Mansion, she will naturally return to live in the mansion."

"In this way, we can take your fourth sister home in style."

Ning Fengzhe knelt again.

"I congratulate my father for getting what I lost back."

"Congratulations, Aunt Pan, you got what you wanted."

"Congratulations to Fourth Sister for returning with honors!"

Ning Hanwang helped him again.

"Take me to see her first."

"Then choose an auspicious day to bring her home and hold a welcoming ceremony for her."

Ning Fengzhe led the way.

He took Ning Hanwang to the inn where Ning Jiewei was.

Ning Fengzhe went forward and knocked on the door.

"Weier, are you there?"

After a while, Ning Jiewei opened the door.

"Big brother, you are here."

"Where's father?"

"Will Father see me?"

Ning Fengzhe then introduced.

"This is my father."

Ning Jiewei was surprised at first, and took a few steps forward, wanting to throw herself into her father's arms.

Then, he retreated again and again, looking aggrieved.

"Father must hate us, mother and daughter, right?"

Ning Hanwang left in a hurry, taking the blame on himself.

"how come?"

"I have missed you all very much over the years."

"It's all my fault. I didn't pick you up in time and made you wait for so long."

There were two trembling tears in the corners of Ning Jiewei's eyes, and she looked helpless and lovable.

"I found out everything before I went out."

"Father has forgotten about my mother because he has Aunt Liu!"

"Poor mother, she thought father was too busy with paperwork to take care of him."

As she spoke, she naturally took out the token and confirmed her identity.

"My mother has kept these things, saying they were gifts from my father, so she treasures them like treasures."

"Even afterward, when she guessed her father had betrayed her, she still couldn't bear to abandon him."

At this point, Ning Hanwang's tears had already soaked his clothes.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhe closed the door in time to save his father's face.

Ning Jiewei told Ning Hanwang all the suffering she had endured over the years.

Ning Hanwang felt more and more guilty the more he listened.

"Weier, I'm sorry for you, and even more sorry for Ruer."

"It pains me deeply as a father."

Ning Fengzhe comforted him softly.

"Wei Er, don't be too sad."

"Father thinks highly of you and your daughter. He has already given Aunt Pan a status and allowed her to enter the ancestral hall."

"You are one year older than Shan'er, and you are the fourth child in the family. She is the fifth child in the family."

"From now on, you will be my fourth sister."

As he spoke, he glanced at Ning Han tentatively and asked a question based on the situation.

"While father was worried about Aunt Pan, did he ever think about my mother's situation?"
