Chapter 133 Treating good intentions as donkey liver and lungs
Ning Jiewei was filled with sorrow and wept in sympathy.
"I should be thanking you."
"Third sister, you don't know that I have had various illnesses since I was a child. Just because of a sore throat, my mother took me to look for famous doctors in Shengjing."
"When they couldn't cure me, they accused me of pretending to be sick. Some even said it was hysteria and that the pain was all imagined by me."
"The throat is red and swollen, which is a fact. It is obvious and known to everyone. How can it be imagined?"
"There was also a doctor who said that a sore throat would never heal, and at best it would just be relieved. Then he prescribed a prescription, and it would heal in three to five days at best, or half a month or a month at worst. Every time I recovered, it would relapse within two or three days."
"I fell into despair and thought I would be suffering from illness for the rest of my life."
"Later, even my mother gave up on me and stopped taking me to seek medical treatment."
"She was bossing me around, saying that every time she accompanied me to see a doctor, she would be questioned for faking illness and scolded by the doctor. She had lost all her dignity. Anyway, it was just a minor illness, so I should just bear with it and it would pass."
"I never expected that you would save me in the end."
"Third sister only knows that I treat you with empathy and understanding, which is as rare as a treasure; but she doesn't know that I have come back to life after suffering. I have devoted my life to your kindness, but I can never repay you even a little bit."
"As my second brother said, you treat me sincerely, better than my own mother."
Ning Yunxi felt warm in her heart, and was overwhelmed with emotion, pouring down like a rainstorm.
"Thank you, Fourth Sister."
"I dream of getting recognition from my family."
“And now it has come true.”
“It turns out that hard work really pays off.”
Ning Jiewei took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped her tears.
"Third sister, don't cry."
“The most important thing in life is to be happy.”
"Let's smile more often in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice from outside: "Princess, Madam Ning is here and is waiting outside the main gate."
When Ning Jiewei heard that Mu Rong was coming, her face sank to the bottom.
"She came just as I mentioned her. How unreasonable."
Ning Yunxi persuaded softly.
"You can meet her. She must be here to take you back home."
Ning Jiewei thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
"OK then."
Ning Yunxi immediately ordered: "Please ask mother to come in."
The servants left in response.
Taking advantage of the interval between reports, Ning Jiewei said seriously: "After I go back, I will continue to help you find out the news."
Ning Yunxi smiled with relief and shook her head solemnly.
"This time is enough. Don't overdo it, or you'll anger Big Brother and he'll take action against you."
Ning Jiewei pursed her red lips, full of pride.
"Am I afraid of him?"
"Even if he doesn't do anything, I will teach him a lesson for you."
"After the flower-viewing banquet is over, if he manages to return home, I will personally beat him up and vent your anger for you!"
Ning Yunxi advised helplessly.
"Big brother is resourceful and difficult to deal with."
Ning Jiewei had no intention of backing down.
"He does look a bit shrewd, but I can't tell how cunning he really is. To put it bluntly, he just has a few little tricks, which are not presentable."
"Don't worry, Third Sister. I am enough to deal with a small fry like him."
Having said that, he took the initiative to change the subject.
"Oh, by the way, Third Sister, Mother and Big Brother are planning to marry me to Prince Chen."
"I don't want to get married, what should I do?"
Ning Yunxi thought about it for a moment and came up with an idea.
"Tell your father about this, and he will help you reject it."
Ning Jiewei expressed her concern.
"Father is just a duke without real power. How can he refuse the order of the King of Chen?"
"Will he offend the prince for me?"
Ning Yunxi analyzed it carefully.
"You don't know that my father's heart is with King Li."
"Although Prince Li has left the capital, he has many eyes and ears, so protecting his people is no problem."
"Besides, Prince Li's biological mother, Consort Xian, is also in the palace."
"Father will not be afraid of King Chen."
Ning Jiewei roughly understood what was said and nodded in response.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
As he spoke, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Mu Rong came in a lake blue brocade dress, graceful and elegant.
She wore a valuable jade pendant around her waist, with three slender tassels that swayed delicately, making her look even more elegant and graceful.
Ning Jiewei turned her head and rolled her eyes.
Mu Rong smiled and didn't care.
"Weier, go back with your mother."
"Your father asked about it last night, saying that Feng'er married into the family and he couldn't do anything about it. Why did you leave the mansion and stay at Yuexi Mansion?"
"In his opinion, you are the daughter of Aunt Pan, so he suspected that I deliberately excluded you and used tricks to get rid of you. In short, he began to misunderstand that my virtue was all fake."
"Weier, please have pity on your mother, okay?"
Ning Jiewei responded indifferently and threatened with bluffing.
"If I go back, I will tell my father the truth about my life experience. Can my mother bear the consequences?"
Mu Rong was angry, but she couldn't do anything about it, so she could only explain patiently.
"Why are you doing this?"
"I've said it many times, the one who lied to you was her, not me."
"What you call self-contradiction is something I still haven't figured out."
"It's clear that every time I confronted Fang Renshu, I was defeated miserably. But I didn't expect that this time, something weird happened. I devised a plan and wiped out the entire Fang family."
"It is true. I am not lying to you. Fang Renshu is very smart. Almost all the Taiqing, Beizhao Cheng, and Beizhao Xiang of all dynasties are from the Fang clan."
"The Fang clan is not good at saving money."
Ning Yunxi felt uncomfortable after hearing this, but she did not show it.
Ning Jiewei felt the same way and smiled sarcastically, pretending to be unaware of the truth and responded unhappily.
"Mother, do you think they are going to die on purpose to make me doubt your sincerity towards father?"
"Excuse me, but the excuse my mother made up is too absurd. Did she think I was a three-year-old child?"
"Aunt Fang was deeply in love and lost her mind. She was harmed by you. I now fully understand what happened back then."
Mu Rong pointed directly at Ning Yunxi and accused her harshly.
"Isn't that what she said?"
"She has bad intentions and only knows how to lie. Don't believe her!"
Ning Yunxi had already stood up respectfully. When she heard her mention it, she walked towards her mother and bowed slightly.
"Mother is fine."
"There's no need to rush the conversation. Mother, sit down and talk slowly. Don't tire yourself out."
Mu Rong picked a chair and sat down, glancing at Ning Yunxi, still responding sternly.
"Since you know about the adoption, I don't intend to hide it."
"Even if I didn't give birth to you, at least I raised you. Ning Yunxi, you can't be a person without conscience."
Without waiting for Ning Yunxi to respond, Ning Jiewei refuted directly.
"Why does Third Sister have no conscience?"
"She treats you with sincerity. Last night she advised me to be kind to my mother, be filial to you, and not be angry with you."
"How could you take my kindness for granted and blame her instead!"
"Why do you scold her?"
"Who gave you face?"
Mu Rong's eyes were filled with shock, she just couldn't believe it.
"This is a plot to sow discord. She said this on purpose. How come you can't tell the difference?"
"She first took my beloved son away from me, and now she is alienating my beloved daughter from me. I just scolded her a few times, and that's all I can do."
"She wants me dead. How can she have good intentions?"
"Weier, please wake up!"
