Chapter 145 Misunderstanding
Not long after Zhuang Wei left, Ning Jiewei trotted in happily: "Third sister, I'm here!"
At this moment, Ning Fengzhe had been almost comforted.
Ning Yunxi got up from the ground and sat on the bench.
Hearing Ning Jiewei's voice, the brother and sister looked at each other in surprise.
Family members are only allowed to visit once a day.
Why is she here?
Is it...
Just as she was thinking about it, Ning Jiewei took the initiative to explain.
"You will never guess how much trouble I caused. It was with great difficulty that I attracted the attention of the emperor, who regarded me as a fellow criminal and imprisoned me as well."
As she spoke, she sat down and leaned against her third sister, still looking ecstatic.
“Hahaha, it’s really not easy.”
“I finally got in!”
"Third sister, let me tell you, Xu Mingqian is so disloyal. I asked him to help me to punish me, not to pardon you, but he couldn't even help with this little favor. It shows that the position of Tongshi Xiang has no real power and is just an empty title."
Ning Fengzhe was stunned.
Ning Yunxi was also shocked.
"Fourth sister, do you know where this place is?"
Ning Jiewei nodded.
"I know."
"It's just the copper platform."
Ning Yunxi swallowed and explained to her helplessly.
"Under normal circumstances, the emperor would personally deal with the case, and only when the entire family is sentenced to death would they be imprisoned in the Tongshitai."
Ning Jiewei blinked, her bright eyes showing a hint of innocence.
"Behead everyone?"
"Then I wouldn't be able to survive anyway, so I might as well come in and keep you company."
Ning Fengzhe frowned, full of disgust.
Ning Jiewei ignored him and just smiled sweetly at her third sister.
"I've said before, if mother dares to harm you, I will protect you with my own life, even if it means death."
"No matter where you are, as long as you are in trouble, I will always be there with you."
Ning Yunxi's tears were not yet dry, and she was in tears again. She stared at her fourth sister, deeply moved.
"Fourth sister, you are so kind..."
As they were talking, the two sisters were already hugging each other.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, as if stained with ink, hazy and gray, just like Yanxiju at this moment.
Mu Rong came in frustrated and gave Ning Hanwang a rare bow.
"Master, I am back."
"Thank you for your help, Master. Otherwise, I would be humiliated."
Ning Han looked at the gloomy expression between his brows and couldn't relax for a long time.
"I mobilized the Beizhaotai to bring you back, not for your face, but just to ask you a question."
He didn't signal her to stand up, so Mu Rong knelt there and didn't dare to get up. After just a short while, she began to feel pain in her knees.
"Yes."
"Master, please feel free to ask me anything. I will tell you everything I know."
Ning Hanwang's face was cold and heavy, as if shrouded in a gloom.
"Weier made decisions on her own and acted impulsively and willfully. Did you intentionally guide her?"
Mu Rong was puzzled and confused.
What happened to Wei'er?
What did she do on her own?
Could it be that the master has found out about my refusal of marriage?
From the sound of it, does it mean that the master is happy to see Prince Chen taking a concubine?
That's not okay.
I will never allow Wei'er to marry that kind of man.
After thinking about it, she firmed her gaze and looked up solemnly.
"What Wei'er did is exactly what I wanted."
"But please calm down, Master. This was not something I did on purpose. It was Chen..."
I haven't finished speaking yet,
Ning Hanwang slammed the table several times, his face flushed with anger.
"You have already tricked her into being imprisoned in the Tongshitai, and you still dare to say that it was not intentional?!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Rong's eyes dimmed, then turned into shock.
"what?!"
In an instant, everything seemed to go blank in front of her eyes and all around was silent. She was stunned for a long while before she came to her senses.
"Weier was imprisoned in the Tongshitai?"
"How did that happen?"
While speaking, he was already heartbroken and sobbing helplessly.
"Fengzhe hasn't been rescued yet, and Wei'er has also gone in. What on earth is going on?"
"Is this also part of the plan?"
"Why did he include his sister in this?"
"Why are you all so ignorant?"
Ning Hanwang ignored her words and thought she was just pretending.
"I have already asked about the cause and effect."
"A few days ago, Wei'er went to Xianyi Residence, and then Feng'er suddenly came back and took Wei'er away for unknown reasons."
"After that, Wei'er stayed in Yuexi Mansion for a day."
"Later, I ordered you to persuade her to return home. She did come back, but her personality changed drastically for no apparent reason."
"Before, she would tell me almost every day to take care of me and understand my difficulties."
"Since she came back from Yuexi Mansion, she has been telling me to love Xi'er over and over again. She also always complains that I have treated her third sister unfairly and that I have been biased towards her. In short, I cannot blame Xi'er for anything."
"What happened on that night when she stayed at Yuexi Mansion?"
"What are you and Xi'er plotting?"
"Why is Wei'er so reckless in causing trouble that she has to go to the Tongshitai?"
"I heard from the servants that you bought something deadly. Is it for Wei'er?!"
Mu Rong felt extremely aggrieved, she smiled bitterly and shed tears at the same time.
"Master, how could you misunderstand so much?"
"I am wronged. I might as well not live anymore..."
In despair, she suddenly remembered discussing adoption with Fengzhe a few days ago. I remember Fengzhe told her to find a suitable time to mention the adoption to her father.
Isn't this the right time?
It can not only preserve Wei'er's dignity as a legitimate daughter, but also clear her name.
But in Wei'er's opinion, this was just taking advantage of her...
Forget it, I won’t live anymore…
After much hesitation, Mu Rong chose to live.
"Master, this is all Ning Yunxi's conspiracy. I am completely unaware of it."
"I know you don't believe it. It's just empty talk. If it were me, I wouldn't believe it either."
"I am sincere and upright, and would like to take Wei'er as my adopted daughter with the honor of being the legitimate daughter. I wonder if this move can calm the master's anger?"
Ning Hanwang just felt a little relieved.
"Weier is deeply trapped in the Tongshitai, how can she enjoy the honor of being a legitimate daughter?"
"What's the difference between what you said and just empty talk?"
Mu Rong quickly came up with an idea.
"This incident was caused by Ning Yunxi. Fengzhe and Wei'er were both considered guilty of the same crime and were imprisoned in the Tongshitai. I think that as long as we eradicate the root cause and get rid of Ning Yunxi, we can rescue them."
"I have a plan, would you like to hear it, Master?"
Ning Hanwang has no patience.
"explain."
Mu Rong told the story slowly.
After hearing this, Ning Hanwang's eyes finally revealed a hint of satisfaction.
"It's okay."
Mu Rong smiled happily and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then I will go to the palace right away and ask to see the Imperial Concubine and ask her to cooperate."
Ning Hanwang then stretched out his hands and helped her up personally.
After kneeling for so long, she almost couldn't stand still, and fell into his arms intentionally or unintentionally.
The couple smiled at each other, and there seemed to be some warmth in their hearts.
Ning Hanwang said from the heart: "Madam's appearance is still as beautiful as a fairy."
Mu Rong's cheeks flushed: "Master, you are too kind to praise me. I am ashamed to accept it."
After a few whispers, Mu Rong went back to her room to change her clothes and went back into the palace.
