Chapter 64 Disappointment
Ning Yunxi was waiting for news, and had nothing to do, so she practiced calligraphy for a while.
When I get tired of writing, I lie back in the recliner and take a short nap.
Once she had some free time, the memories of her past and present lives came pouring down like a rainstorm, soaking her effortlessly from top to bottom, from inside to outside, leaving no part untouched.
When planning to buy a house, my mother said:
"Why can't the house be registered under your father's name?"
"What are you trying to do? Do you think we can't see it?"
When I asked for the silver, my mother said:
"Xi'er has always been sensible and well-behaved. How could she have done something wrong?"
"Be good, Xi'er. Mother loves you. Sit down quickly and don't get tired."
In my previous life, my mother was also like this, sometimes good, sometimes bad, playing hard to get.
She knew her mother was calculating.
But I always fantasize, what if my mother really gets better?
If she just refused to believe it, wouldn't she miss out on the family love she had always wanted?
In her previous life, her mother always had a thousand good sides and was kind, but once these were revealed, she would fall into self-doubt.
Perhaps she really misjudged her mother.
Maybe her mother was very good to her.
For example, one time, my mother was drunk.
In the past, when my mother was drunk, she would go to the palace and ask to see my aunt, and the two sisters would talk about some private matters together.
That time, my mother did not enter the palace. As soon as she returned home, she came to Xiangzhu Garden.
"Xier."
Her mother sat beside her, held her hand and caressed it lovingly.
"There are many things I cannot say on weekdays, so I can only speak them out to you today while I am drunk."
"In fact, mother cares about you very much. You are my most beloved child."
"Even if you were not my biological daughter, you would still be the most important to me. All the others would be inferior to you."
"Normally, I always say that you are not filial, that you are not as caring as this family's daughter, and not as capable as that family's daughter."
"Actually, those are all lies. Don't believe them."
"I know you are very filial. You have been earning money to support your family since you were fifteen. Other girls never leave the house. How can they compare to you?"
"I'm used to being strict and can't say anything soft, but it's not that I don't know your true intentions."
"I have kept all the money you gave me. I have not touched a cent. I want to add some to your dowry when you get married."
"When I gave birth to you, I only had sons, not daughters, so the way I disciplined you was a little inappropriate."
"Mother didn't mean to be harsh on you. Please believe me, okay?"
At this point, both mother and daughter were already in tears.
She remembered vividly that it was the first time her mother opened up to her.
Before that, the softest words the mother had ever said were "Be good, Xier" and "Xier is the most sensible."
Except for that time, her mother had never sincerely affirmed her.
At that time, she wished so much that she and her daughter could stay together that night.
However, after a good night's sleep, when she woke up the next day, my mother had completely forgotten what she had said the night before. She pursed her lips and became stern again.
She is still in a daze. Was the heart-to-heart talk that night real or just a dream?
Thinking of this, Qiu Bi came back.
"Girl, there's news."
Ning Yunxi woke up from her memories, stood up and left, regaining her composure.
"did you find it?"
"Where is the fourth sister now?"
Qiu Bi hesitated slightly, as if she found it difficult to speak.
"It is said that... in the flower house."
Ning Yunxi couldn't understand it for a moment.
"That's where men go. What is she doing there?"
"She went in disguised as a man?"
Qiu Bi shook her head and explained implicitly.
"No."
"The brothel I mentioned is not the kind of place that men like to go to, but the kind that women like to go to..."
"Girl, you don't know that some brothels are inhabited by handsome men..."
Ning Yunxi was shocked.
"what?"
"How could she be so... so..."
"So outgoing?"
Qiu Bi lowered her head in embarrassment.
"What the girl said is absolutely true."
"The fourth girl is indeed a little... too outgoing."
Ning Yunxi straightened her dress.
"So she took all that money and went to a brothel to enjoy herself."
"Unreasonable."
"Where is the brothel? Prepare the carriage, I'll go there right away."
Qiu Bi's eyes were filled with worry.
"Then this servant will go with the young lady."
Ning Yunxi stretched out her hand to stop him.
"That kind of place is always unclean. You're a virgin, so you'd better stay away from it."
"I can just go by myself."
Qiu Bi was still worried.
"But the girl is still a virgin."
"I am afraid that the young lady will be bullied."
Ning Yunxi smiled awkwardly and made fun of herself in a joking tone.
"In my past and present lives, I have been the abandoned concubine of the Prince of Chen. I have given birth to several children. How can I be considered a virgin?"
"Don't worry, I can handle it."
After saying that, Ning Yunxi got on the carriage and went to the brothel designated by Qiu Bi.
As soon as he entered the door, he went straight to the room where Ning Jiewei was.
When they broke into the room, Ning Jiewei was surrounded by beauties, some were massaging her feet, some were massaging her shoulders, and some were even more disgusting to look at.
Ning Jiewei lay in a man's arms with her eyes closed, her face full of indulgence.
When the man heard the noise, he first raised his eyes, and habitually looked around, looking Ning Yunxi up and down before asking questions.
"Who is this girl?"
Ning Yunxi ignored her and just glanced at Ning Jiewei.
"Take the savings from home and the money from selling the house and come here to have fun."
"Ning Jiewei, is this your tutor?"
"Get up and follow me back home."
Ning Jiewei woke up slowly, glanced at Ning Yunxi sideways, and a hint of contempt immediately appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She ignored Ning Yunxi and spoke to the man first.
"This is the one I mentioned to you, my third sister, the wife of Prince Chen."
"Oh, no, she has been divorced and can only be considered the abandoned concubine of the Prince of Chen."
"But she is young and pretty. Are you interested? Do you want to play with the woman of the King of Chen?"
The men immediately looked eager to try, and they all stood up and walked towards Ning Yunxi.
"Think about it, can you really play it?"
"So Miss Ning San came here for fun?"
"In that case, how can you pretend to be serious?"
"Come on, let's play together."
Ning Yunxi used a few silver needles to directly cripple their legs.
The men fell to their knees one after another.
"what!"
"it hurts!"
"Why are my legs numb?"
Ning Yunxi looked down on everyone and asked coldly with disdain.
"Do you still want to play?"
The men shook their heads.
"I don't want to think about it anymore."
"Miss Ning San, please spare my life."
Ning Yunxi took out a porcelain bottle and handed it over.
"This is the antidote."
"Put on your clothes and help me throw Ning Jiewei out."
As she said this, she looked at Ning Jiewei again and smiled contemptuously.
"It's getting late. My fourth sister and I should go back home."
The men responded, took the antidote, and hurriedly began to put on their clothes.
Ning Jiewei was displeased.
"Ning Yunxi, how can you be so disappointing?"
