Chapter 126: Heart-to-heart Jade Pendant
Ning Yunxi gave a reasonable explanation.
"It can only mean that you were an accident."
"I wanted to abort the baby, but Aunt Pan got pregnant and the timing was right, so she gave birth to you as a precaution."
"After you're done with her, you'll no longer be of any use to her. If she wants, she can find an excuse to get rid of you at any time!"
Ning Jiewei was so shocked that she collapsed on the ground, crying sadly.
"You're right. My so-called glorious return home is because she has angered my father and her life is in danger."
"No wonder she made me wait for so many years, and even used the excuse that Ning Wanshan had something on her."
"She always said that she would give me the status of a legitimate daughter, but in the end I became a concubine's daughter. Is it because a concubine's daughter is easier to deal with?"
"She has been planning for many years, not letting me contact outsiders, not telling me about the outside world, under the pretext of doing it for my own good and fearing that I would be hurt. In fact, she wanted to bring me to justice for the assassination in Prince Di Jin's mansion."
"I thought that was just my elder brother's deliberate targeting. He didn't like my identity as the daughter of a criminal."
"I should have thought of it earlier. She and Big Brother are almost inseparable. They are in cahoots with each other."
"My elder brother is a well-known filial son. How dare he harm me without my mother's permission?"
"That's what I said. How could that idiot be more important than me? It turns out that to her, I'm just a chess piece."
"No wonder she protected my second brother so much when I teased him. No wonder I was only slapped by my eldest brother when he tried to hurt me. After a few words, she started to scold me. Perhaps it was just a show, and the slap was fake. She didn't hurt her precious son at all."
"But she is my biological mother."
"Why hasn't my biological mother loved me since I was born?"
"Why do I have to endure such cruelty?"
Seeing that she was frustrated and desperate and almost collapsed, Ning Yunxi hugged her tightly in his arms, his tone full of heartache.
"Fourth sister, be good and don't think about these things anymore."
"They don't want you, but what about me? Haven't we recognized each other?"
"As long as I live, I will protect you and not let anyone bully you, okay?"
After Ning Jiewei sobbed a few times, tears burst out and she cried and sobbed.
"Third sister, luckily I still have you!"
"Thank you for recognizing me."
"I'm sorry that I helped them and framed you before."
"I'm sorry, Third Sister..."
Ning Yunxi touched her hair gently and comforted her patiently.
"It's okay. They have disciplined you and brought you up. If they are calculating, it will be easy for them to do it."
"It's the same for me. I was schemed against by them for many years. I just found out the truth recently, so I moved out of Ning Mansion."
"I'm sorry, I was also wrong before."
"Are you willing to forgive my sister?"
Ning Jiewei left her arms, sobbing and crying, and smiled at her.
"Third sister, you are too polite. We are sisters, so we shouldn't say such polite words."
As he spoke, he held her hand again, and between his tearful eyes, there was a hint of clear beauty.
"That's great. I have a sister now."
Ning Yunxi smiled back.
I didn't expect that gaining her trust was so easy, without even using the jade pendant.
"I thought you were Aunt Pan's daughter, but I never expected that you and I are actually sisters."
"By the way, my father left me a relic. Since you are his daughter, you should see it."
As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from another secret compartment and handed it to Ning Jiewei.
Ning Jiewei recognized the jade pendant at a glance.
"This is the Tongxin Jade Pendant."
"My mother also had one. It was a token of love given to her by my father. But I heard that it was accidentally broken by my second brother a few years ago."
Ning Yunxi followed her words and said.
"This is also a token of love that Daddy gave to my mother."
Ning Jiewei quickly came up with a reason.
"I guess he gave one piece to each of his two beloved ones?"
"This is a symbol of the Tong clan's identity. I heard from my mother that with it, you can enter and leave the Tong Mansion at will without any restrictions."
Ning Yunxi nodded and lowered her brows, sighing sadly.
"It's a pity that the Tong Mansion has already been sealed off."
Ning Jiewei followed suit with a sigh.
After a slight hesitation, he changed the subject.
"I can see that mother hates you very much. I was confused before, but now I think it's because you are Fang Renshu's daughter."
"When it comes to my sister's biological mother, she always hates her deeply, so naturally she won't like you either."
Ning Yunxi disagreed.
"Mother shouldn't know about this, right?"
"I only found out recently."
Ning Jiewei denied it without even thinking about it.
"She must know!"
"Why else would I treat you so harshly?"
"She has such a bad conscience that she actually led us sisters to kill each other. I'm so angry just thinking about it. I'm going to go and settle the score with her!"
Ning Yunxi hurriedly stopped her.
"Fourth sister, wait a minute!"
Ning Jiewei asked in confusion.
"Why did the third sister stop me?"
"Don't you feel sorry for it?"
"She is the murderer of our father!"
Ning Yunxi took her hand and sat down together.
"I just don't want you to leave."
"We sisters finally found each other, but now we have to be separated. What a irony of fate."
Ning Jiewei didn't quite understand.
"What does this mean, Third Sister?"
"I just came back to settle accounts with her. Why would I have to separate my flesh and blood?"
"Will I face a disaster after returning home?"
Ning Yunxi turned her back, wiped her tears, and cried towards the corner.
"It's not you."
"it's me."
"I received news that my elder brother was plotting to harm me."
"Without knowing the full extent of the plan, I have no way of preparing for it, and it may not be long before I am gone from you."
"So, you stay and keep me company, okay?"
Ning Jiewei looked reluctant and soon came up with an idea.
"Since it was he who planned this, Mother must know the truth. I will go back to the mansion to get the news and tell you the whole plan."
Ning Yunxi pretended to stop him.
"No, they have bad intentions. If you go back home, won't you be in danger?"
"I won't let you go."
Ning Jiewei frowned and glared.
"I won't let anything happen to you!"
After saying this, he relaxed his frown and took it seriously.
"If anything happens to you, I will never live alone."
"Third sister, you are my only relative left in this world."
"When the nest is overturned, no egg is left unbroken. Big brother is not targeting you alone. He must be targeting us sisters."
"God has a vision, allowing us to meet each other in time. I will never miss this good opportunity."
"Don't worry, Third Sister. I will be careful."
Ning Yunxi sobbed with emotion, turned around and held up her hands.
"Thank you, fourth sister."
"My life is in danger. Fortunately, you showed up in time."
"You are my savior."
Ning Jiewei responded with a smile, also moved.
"Sister is also my savior."
"If it weren't for you, I would have been harmed by them and would never have known the truth until I died."
"I'm going back home. Please be careful."
Ning Yunxi looked at her with deep affection.
"Okay, you too."
Ning Jiewei left reluctantly.
After returning home, he happened to hear Gu Nianting and Mu Rong conspiring and discussing how to frame Ning Yunxi.
Ning Jiewei found a secluded place, looked around, and began to eavesdrop.
