Chapter 65 Discipline
Ning Yunxi looked down at Ning Jiewei, who was sitting on the ground in tatters, and reminded her quietly.
"Fourth sister, please put on your clothes too."
"Otherwise, when you are thrown out, I'm afraid you will lose all your face."
Ning Jiewei was not afraid at all and snorted unhappily.
"It's just that people see me clean. I enjoy it. I like it very much."
"Anyway, it's the Ning Mansion that's losing face. If Third Sister doesn't care, just throw me out."
Comparing with Ning Wanshan in her previous life, a look of disbelief flashed across Ning Yunxi's almond-shaped eyes.
"How can you be so unkempt, even worse than your fifth sister?"
"At least she looks well-educated and well-mannered. Even though she admires her brother-in-law, she knows how to hide it."
"Look at yourself. How can you behave like a lady from a noble family?"
Ning Jiewei glared at her fiercely, gritting her teeth.
"I am carefree and unconcerned, unlike you so-called ladies who are squeamish and disgusting!"
"Who is Fifth Sister? A lowly concubine's daughter. To put it bluntly, she is a scorched earth. She is not even a human being. How can you be compared with me?"
Ning Yunxi glanced over and reminded coldly.
"You are also a concubine, aren't you?"
Ning Jiewei raised her eyes provocatively, and a hint of pride slowly appeared on her lips.
"My mother loves me like her own daughter, and my father dotes on me even more, so I am the legitimate daughter."
"My status is totally different from that of a daughter like you who is looked down upon!"
"I've been through hard times for too long, so what if I enjoy myself a little? My father spoils me, and my mother condones it, so how can you object?"
"If you know what's best for you, go back home and don't bother me. Otherwise, I will report you to my father and mother and make you pay for it."
Ning Yunxi ignored her and turned to give instructions to the men who had already put on their clothes.
"Help her get dressed and throw her into my carriage."
Ning Jiewei slammed the table and suddenly threatened.
"You dare?!"
The men stopped moving and shrank back in fear.
Ning Yunxi handled it with ease.
"You dare not even listen to me. I think it's time to close down this place."
"Ning Jiewei is just a concubine who just returned home. I have been assisting Prince Di Jin for some time."
"You should weigh the pros and cons for yourselves."
Upon hearing King Di Jin, the men threw Ning Jiewei into the carriage without hesitation.
During this process, Ning Jiewei was still struggling to resist: "Who is King Di Jin? My father is in a high position and my mother is the younger sister of the imperial concubine. They don't love Ning Yunxi and only favor me. How dare you..."
After returning to Ning Mansion,
Ning Yunxi hired a teacher and brought him to Ning Jiewei's residence, Chunxuanju.
Seeing that the teacher was very strict with Ning Jiewei, Ning Yunxi turned and left.
The next morning,
After having breakfast, Ning Yunxi came to Chunxuanju.
"Has the teacher arrived?"
The maid stopped with a basin of water in her hand and replied.
"Replying to the third lady, the teacher did not leave. It seems that he stayed overnight."
Ning Yunxi couldn't help but be shocked.
"what?"
After she finished speaking, she pushed the door open and saw her husband holding Ning Jiewei, lying on the bed, looking very comfortable.
Seeing her coming, Ning Jiewei stood up calmly.
"You came?"
"Greetings to Third Sister."
"The gentleman you invited is very good. I accept his invitation with pleasure."
"Thank you, Third Sister."
On the surface, Ning Yunxi was so angry that she couldn't speak, but in fact, she had already made up her mind.
Ning Jiewei had no idea that she was caught up in a conspiracy. She was smiling and happy.
"Third sister, are you planning to change people? That's perfect. I like something new."
"It's okay if you don't change it. I like this sir very much."
Ning Yunxi decisively fired her teacher and replaced him with a nanny who taught her etiquette.
As a result, Nanny was teased by Ning Jiewei beyond all recognition and fled in panic.
Later, when Ning Jiewei had run out of money, she took the initiative to come to Xiangzhuyuan and asked Ning Yunxi for money with confidence.
Ning Yunxi didn't give it.
Turning around, I saw her accompanying various young men.
As long as someone is willing to spend money lavishly for her, she will be there for him.
They are even ostentatious and show off in public all day long.
Ning Yunxi came to Yanxiju and told her father the whole story.
"Fourth sister is so self-indulgent that she has brought shame to the Ning family. Does father really not care?"
"She didn't just destroy her own reputation, but the reputation of all the women in the Ning Mansion."
"How can they get married in the future if this is the case?"
"Will father continue to pamper her?"
Ning Hanwang argued convincingly.
"In the concubine's lineage, there are no other women except Wei'er; the side branch of the Ning clan has not been able to return to the capital since they were exiled."
"Neither of them is a big deal."
"The only person who will be affected is you."
"You are already an abandoned concubine. If you marry again, it will be your second marriage. What impact are you afraid of?"
"If you were really worried about your reputation, you shouldn't have divorced in the first place."
"Instead of being abandoned and returning home, she only knows how to put all the blame on her fourth sister. Wei'er is already very pitiful, you should be more considerate of her."
Ning Yunxi didn't expect to get such an answer, and her face was full of disbelief.
Is she overthinking?
Didn't the parents come up with a plan to drive a wedge between her and my brother?
Why does he have this attitude?
Could it be that... it's hard for him to change his habits?
Or maybe there are too many things to do and you forget about it?
This subconscious ruthlessness seems to be more frustrating than the harsh and cold words spoken intentionally.
"Are you sure you want to ignore this, father?"
Her question seemed to be a reminder, and Ning Hanwang then remembered the plan to sow discord, and his pupils showed obvious panic.
"Um... this... um... you..."
"Consider your father's sake, and go back first."
Ning Yunxi's eyes darkened slightly and she bowed and took her leave.
"Yes."
As she expected, everything went smoothly.
But her father's words were beyond her expectations.
Ning Yunxi had just returned to Xiangzhu Garden and had no time to sit down when Mu Rong came in with a few maids, smiling.
Ning Yunxi smiled back, walked up to him, and asked pretending to be ignorant.
"Why is mother here?"
Mu Rong signaled with her eyes, asking the maids to put down all the gifts.
"Xi'er has been working really hard to discipline her sister these days."
"These are all gifts from your aunt, the Imperial Concubine. The Ning Mansion's treasury is temporarily unable to take out the deposited money, so mother can only borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha."
"Take a look, do you like it?"
Ning Yunxi walked forward with a smile and took a quick look.
“I like it, but I can’t get excited about it.”
"Mother, you don't know that I just went to Yanxiju and suffered a lot of injustice."
Mu Rong obviously already knew about this.
"Your father was reprimanded during the morning court session, so he is in a bad mood. Don't take it personally."
"I heard about Wei'er's affairs."
"She is so stubborn and willful. I am as angry as you are."
Ning Yunxi took the opportunity to bring it up.
"Then mother called her over and made her kneel at the door for a day to teach her a lesson, right?"
Mu Rong was stunned for a moment.
I never thought that pretending to be friendly would cause Wei'er to suffer.
"what?"
Ning Yunxi smiled, took her hand and explained patiently.
"I think she is Aunt Pan's daughter."
"Who is Aunt Pan? She took advantage of my mother's weakness after she gave birth to me to have an affair with my father, and even had a fourth sister."
"I think my mother and her must be incompatible."
"But the deceased is gone, and there is nothing a mother can do."
"Since Fourth Sister has made a mistake, why don't you teach her a lesson? It will not only vent your anger, but also avoid being criticized. Why not do it?"
Mu Rong was obviously distressed, but she avoided the question.
"That's not good. What if your father feels bad..."
Ning Yunxi shook her hand off and pretended to be angry.
"Mother, do you mean you don't want to make the decision for me?"
"I thought my mother came with gifts and wanted to shake hands and say hello."
