Chapter 130 No Intention of Using
Ning Jiewei was not in Yuexi Mansion at this time.
After Ning Xuanfeng took her away from the Ning Mansion, they took a carriage, passed through several alleys, and came to a restaurant with a comfortable environment.
They chose a private room and sat down.
The furnishings in the elegant room are simple and warm, and the gauze curtains lightly draw the view outside the window ingeniously, making people feel at home.
Ning Xuanfeng's face was radiant.
"Just order whatever you like."
"My treat."
Ning Jiewei looked around and smiled.
"Aren't we going back to Yuexi Mansion?"
A hint of tenderness appeared in Ning Xuanfeng's eyes.
"You also know that mother loves to put on airs. When I just left the house, she waited at the gate of Yuexi Mansion, making people think that she was a loving mother. In fact, she was either playing tricks on me or bullying and framing my third sister."
"I was afraid you would find it annoying, so I didn't take you back, but chose to have lunch here."
"Don't worry, I've informed Third Sister in advance."
"After lunch, I will take you back. I heard from my third sister that she has already had the guest room cleaned up and is waiting for you to move in."
At this point, the restaurant waiter came in and asked for the order.
Ning Jiewei ordered two dishes according to her interests.
Ning Xuanfeng ordered dishes that suited his constitution and that he liked based on the medical theories that Ning Yunxi had studied.
After taking the order, the waiter left.
Soon, the food was served.
The brother and sister started to eat.
Ning Jiewei casually picked up a small piece of chestnut cake and put it in her bowl. She raised her eyes slightly, took a tentative look, and broke the silence first.
"Second brother, did you sneak into the Zhuang Mansion to help Prince Chen get information?"
Ning Xuanfeng picked up some food for her and used the serving chopsticks carefully.
"no."
"Why do you ask?"
Ning Jiewei repeated the conversation between Gu Nianting and Mu Rong.
"If you're not trying to get information, why did mother say that?"
"Her interests coincide with those of the Prince of Chen, so she shouldn't deceive him, right?"
Ning Xuanfeng gave an explanation without thinking.
"Mother will never admit that we changed our minds and followed our third sister. Otherwise, how can she understand it?"
"Since their interests coincide, it is natural that she will be suspected by the Prince of Chen. She is taking precautions early on."
Ning Jiewei nodded in agreement and then smiled shyly.
"Second brother, what you said makes sense. I believe you and will not betray third sister."
"To put it bluntly, if they really wanted to sneak into the manor to gather information, mother could have arranged for my eldest brother to go. My second brother is a simple-minded person and would never do such a thing."
"I thought that my mother seemed to be protecting us. She was caring about us."
Ning Xuanfeng snorted with disdain.
"How could someone who almost killed us be so kind?"
"I do not believe."
Ning Jiewei thought about it and felt that it was unreasonable.
"Well, I don't believe it either."
"Oh, right, second brother."
"Did your mother ever tell you that you are her most beloved child?"
Ning Xuanfeng took a bite of food and nodded.
“Yes.”
"She said that many times."
"Humph, you ended up betraying me!"
Ning Jiewei was also angry when she heard it.
“I’ve heard it many times.”
"Humph, she is indeed a liar!"
Seeing that she was angry, Ning Xuanfeng smiled warmly and comforted her softly.
"But fortunately, we all recognized her true identity and escaped in time."
“Isn’t this a good thing?”
"Also, there is the care and concern of my third sister who doesn't hold grudges against me."
"I think fate is fair. How can there be anything perfect in the world?"
After being comforted, Ning Jiewei smiled.
"Well, second brother is right."
Ning Xuanfeng's smile faded slightly, with a hint of apology.
"Fourth sister, I want to tell you that I'm sorry."
Ning Jiewei was confused.
"why?"
Ning Xuanfeng immediately explained.
"At first, I didn't know you were my biological sister. I just thought you were Aunt Pan's daughter."
"Today, my third sister told me about your life story, and I learned about it."
"I have offended you many times before and played tricks on you many times, making you unable to sleep or eat."
"I'm really sorry."
Ning Jiewei smiled suddenly and shook her head.
"Actually, I teased you, too."
"My mother just stopped me."
"You don't have to apologize to me. You saved me today, so that's enough for me."
Ning Xuanfeng was as happy as a child.
"Fourth sister, you are so kind."
Ning Jiewei was vaguely worried, so she asked.
"Second brother, is Third Sister really as you said, willing to let bygones be bygones?"
Ning Xuanfeng nodded with great certainty.
"Of course."
"She not only helped me with relationships, but also taught me medical knowledge and helped me with my illness."
"My old throat problem was cured by her. To me, she is not only a sister, but also a lifesaver."
"You don't know, my old throat disease would flare up from time to time. Many times when I had a fever, I felt like I was going to die."
"After Third Sister prescribed the right medicine for me, whenever I felt sick, I only needed to take one pill, sleep for a while, and I would be cured the next day."
"You know, the medicines that doctors used to prescribe lasted from three to five days at the shortest, to more than half a month at the longest. I couldn't tell whether it was self-healing or the medicine that cured it."
"Mother acted arrogantly and falsely accused my third sister of scheming, forcing me to follow her. This is ridiculous. How could a scheming person bring someone here just to do him a favor, without any intention of using him?"
Ning Jiewei couldn't help but look expectant.
"Just one pill and a good night's sleep will heal you. Is this really such a miraculous thing?"
"I also have a history of sore throats and I get fever all the time."
"What medicine is Second Brother taking? Can you give me some?"
Ning Xuanfeng waved his hands repeatedly.
"That won't work."
"Third sister said that we should prescribe medicine according to the constitution. The symptoms of sore and itchy throats are similar for everyone. We must confirm the pulse before we can prescribe the right medicine."
"People who don't understand the theory of constitution should not be given medicine casually, as it is easy to cause problems and aggravate the condition."
"You should let Third Sister take a look. What if our physiques are different?"
Ning Jiewei smiled happily.
"it is good."
"Then when we get back home, I'll ask Third Sister to take my pulse as well."
Ning Xuanfeng responded and put down his chopsticks.
"it is good."
"You eat first."
"I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'll be back soon."
Ning Jiewei nodded and continued eating.
"Mmm Good."
Ning Xuanfeng stood up and walked out of the private room.
When I was coming back for convenience, I passed by the private room at the corner and heard the conversation between four people sitting opposite each other.
"I thought I would be wronged by marrying into the family, but I didn't expect my father-in-law and mother-in-law to be so nice to me."
"Everything was good at the beginning, but slowly, its true colors were revealed."
"Yes, my father-in-law and mother-in-law were the same. Later, I summed up some experience. I can't just look at their appearance, I must quietly listen to their private conversations."
"Yes, I eavesdropped on them, too. They said nice things to me on the surface, but they looked down on me in private. Sure enough, as time went by, they took off their disguises and became the annoying people they were in private."
Ning Xuanfeng stopped and stood still, feeling worried.
Are they all sons-in-law?
It turns out that my father-in-law and mother-in-law, like my mother, also pretend?
Are my father-in-law and mother-in-law also such people?
How about... I go and eavesdrop too?
