Chapter 117 Insist on pestering
Ning Xuanfeng glanced at him indifferently and raised one corner of his mouth with disdain.
"Who are you kidding? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"
"I am already a member of the Zhuang Mansion. Even if I want to go back, it will be the Earl of Hongshun Mansion. What mansion should I go back to with you?"
"Mother, have you forgotten so quickly? You were the one who sent me to marry into the family."
"You watched helplessly without doing anything to help me. Now that I have walked out on my own, you come and pretend to be a good person, making it seem like it was Third Sister who kidnapped me and you were the one who saved me."
"You didn't do anything yourself, but you still wanted to smear your third sister. You are the smartest person in the world. You really deserve to be the most competent mother in the world!"
Mu Rong's eyes were filled with grievance.
"Feng'er, you are a shrewd person, not a cunning person, so you were deceived..."
Before he finished speaking, Ning Xuanfeng had already made his conclusion.
"I know."
"You are the one who lied to me, aren't you?"
"No matter how innocent I am, I am not blind. The facts are obvious. I saw them."
Mu Rong pointed at Ning Yunxi and raised her voice, filled with indignation.
"She is the one who lied to you!"
"Next, she will use a cruel trick to trap you in the Zhuang Mansion, making it difficult for you to escape."
As she spoke, she sobbed and felt extremely helpless.
"You really can't see any clues at all?"
Seeing her stretching out her hand with her intention of touching her sleeve, Ning Xuanfeng flicked his sleeves away, not wanting to get stained in the slightest.
"My third sister suffered for me, but you were accused of being a self-torture tactic. Where is your conscience?"
"Go away, we don't want to see you."
"Also, if you spread some self-torture tactic to the public and destroy Third Sister's reputation, I will tell everyone about your harsh treatment over the years and see who will be ruined first!"
Mu Rong had no choice but to persuade her son over and over again without getting tired of it.
"Okay, I won't advertise it."
"Come back with me, I will protect you."
"If your commotion spreads to Yanxiju, and your father misunderstands and thinks I really plotted against you, and therefore scolds and blames you, what should I do?"
"You've seen what he does before. He often threatens human lives. Feng'er, how can you bear to abandon your mother?"
Ning Xuanfeng's eyes were like frozen lake water, distant and indifferent, keeping people at a distance.
"So you persuaded me to return home not out of mother-son affection, but because you were afraid of my father's punishment?"
"Oh, you are amazing."
"So, your pretending to love and care for me all these years is because father favors me, right?"
Mu Rong was horrified and felt a sharp pain in her heart.
"I really care about you."
"I am here to advise you, of course out of mother-son affection."
"The master's reason is just one of the reasons. It is through words of advice. How can you treat your mother like this without knowing the truth?"
Ning Xuanfeng raised a hint of pride.
"Do you have to decide how I want to view you? I am a human being, not your object. Why should I be controlled by you?"
Ning Yunxi gave some advice at the right time.
"Second brother, don't treat mother like this..."
Halfway through her words, she heard Mu Rong sternly scolding her, "Stop trying to stir up trouble. Shut up!"
Ning Yunxi lowered her head in grievance, unable to hold back her giggles.
"Yes."
"The child was reckless."
Ning Xuanfeng became even more furious when he saw this.
"My third sister pleaded for you, but you didn't appreciate her kindness. Who of us is being indiscriminate?"
Mu Rong felt extremely wronged and couldn't help but argue.
"She's alienating us!"
"Feng'er, please wake up."
Ning Xuanfeng's anger was obvious.
"I am sober. This is the first time I have been sober in 26 years."
"It's obvious that you are the one sowing discord and trying to turn the tables."
"Are you going?"
"If you don't leave, I will file a complaint with Yin Sitai, accusing you of mistreating your own daughter, abandoning your son, and using fake bank deposits to deceive marriage. If you insist on pestering me, we will die together!"
Mu Rong was completely at a loss and had to retreat and show weakness.
"Okay, okay, I won't bother you. Feng'er, please don't be impulsive."
"Then I will go back home first. If your father asks, I will say that you miss your sister and want to stay in Yuexi Mansion for a while."
"Remember to keep your story consistent, don't reveal your true identity and make your father angry, okay?"
Ning Xuanfeng urged with displeasure.
"Are you going to go?"
Mu Rong nodded hurriedly and stepped back.
"Go, go, go, I'm leaving now."
As he said this, he glared at Ning Yunxi.
"You wait for me!"
Ning Xuanfeng immediately became angry.
"You still dare to bully the third sister?"
Mu Rong had no choice but to run away in embarrassment.
Ning Xuanfeng adjusted his breath, and in the blink of an eye, he had replaced his smile with a doting one.
He placed his hands gently on his sister's shoulders, first to comfort her and then to teach her.
"Don't be afraid, Third Sister. She's gone."
"You need to be as stern and dignified as your second brother, so that you won't be bullied. Can you learn it?"
Ning Yunxi found it both funny and touching.
"How can I be as intelligent as my second brother and learn things quickly?"
“For me, it’s a little hard.”
Ning Xuanfeng smiled brightly, full of tenderness.
"You are indeed a little silly, but you are also cute."
"It's okay if you can't learn it. There's no need to rush for success, Third Sister."
"From now on, I will protect you."
Ning Yunxi looked up at him, and two tears unexpectedly fell.
"Thank you, second brother."
"Thank you for recognizing me."
"I always thought I was annoying, and my family members didn't want to get along with me..."
Ning Xuanfeng wiped her tears considerately.
"Silly sister, why thank you? This is what a big brother should do."
"You take great care of your family."
"Being treated harshly is not your fault. It's their fault for not knowing what's good for them."
"I've made mistakes before, so no matter what I do now, it's only natural. I owe you that."
After hearing this, Ning Yunxi burst into tears.
"If I have a plan in mind, will Second Brother still recognize me?"
Ning Xuanfeng looked determined and nodded seriously.
"Of course."
"I told you that you will always be my third sister."
"Even if you have some plans, you are resisting because you cannot bear the injustice. I can totally understand that."
"They deserve it. You're not wrong."
"I won't let you blame yourself."
"Okay, stop crying. Your eyes will hurt."
Ning Yunxi stopped crying obediently and gradually stopped sobbing.
"Then I will go to the Zhuang Mansion to negotiate."
Ning Xuanfeng smiled happily.
"it is good."
"I'll go to the kitchen and learn how to cook from the chef."
"I've been thinking all night about how to repay you. Why not start with cooking?"
"When you come back, I will definitely make an edible dish and serve it to you personally."
At noon,
Ning Yunxi finished the negotiations and returned to Yuexi Mansion.
Ning Xuanfeng had just walked out of the kitchen, holding a dish of steaming shrimps.
Hearing her footsteps, he turned around and smiled in surprise.
"Third sister, you're back."
"I just made a dish that's edible. It may not look very pretty, but it tastes okay. Come and try it."
Ning Yunxi responded and walked closer.
"I could smell the fragrance from a long distance away. My second brother is a really good cook."
"Okay, let me try it."
