Chapter 319 I am convinced
The smile on Ning Jiewei's lips contained a hint of sadness like the withered branches and fallen leaves, and a hint of injustice for a loyal official being wronged.
"Isn't mother the same? She took advantage of my third sister's affection to do things that benefited her. As the superiors set an example, the subordinates follow suit. What's wrong with me following my mother's example?"
Mu Rong's face was gloomy and her anger grew even more intense.
"What do you mean by example? I treat outsiders harshly, and you treat your family harshly. Is this how you learn from me?"
Ning Jiewei's eyes were bright, her words were righteous and she was fearless.
"You can naturalize my third sister as my biological daughter, and change my citizenship as my adopted daughter. As far as the law is concerned, my third sister is your family, and you and I are only adoptive relatives, which can be terminated at any time!"
"So, the people I treat are also outsiders. What's the difference?"
Mu Rong was breathing heavily and was burning with anger.
"But I am your biological mother!"
Ning Jiewei responded calmly and proudly.
"Then please, mother, tell Lord Ning to restore my identity, and I will recognize you. Do you dare?"
Mu Rong was so angry that her face turned blue.
"Don't use this matter to pressure me!"
Ning Jiewei met his gaze solemnly, showing no sign of weakness.
"Please mother, stop complaining about my third sister and being dissatisfied with me!"
Mu Rong was extremely angry, but she couldn't bear to punish her daughter, so she turned around and pounded the wall to vent her anger.
"You are simply unreasonable!"
With a heavy blow, she barely calmed her anger, and she regained her patience and spoke earnestly.
"I have repeatedly told you to be careful and on guard against villains when you return home. Who do you mean? Do you want me to repeat it again?"
"Why don't you learn your lesson? Why are you so ignorant? Among the three of you brothers and sisters, only Fengzhe can make me worry less."
Ning Jiewei sneered.
"is it?"
"Mother thinks so?"
Guessing what she would say next, Mu Rong frowned and warned her in advance.
"Don't scold my brother anymore. How dare you disregard etiquette?"
There was still some anger in Ning Jiewei's eyes, but her expression showed a bit of leisure.
"I am not criticizing you, but telling you the truth. Mother doesn't know that my eldest brother has told me many things about our family since I was a child. The praises and compliments were all from my third sister, while the criticisms and criticisms were only from mother."
"I was in seclusion, and when I heard what he said, I didn't believe it at first; but when I returned home and saw it with my own eyes, I knew the truth."
"Do you think that I was so good at talking to Duke Ningguo and asking him to treat you well because I was being filial to my mother? That's totally wrong. I just refused to obey my elder brother's instructions and opposed him in everything."
Ning Yunxi's heart was shocked and her mind was in a mess.
How could my eldest brother speak well of me in front of my fourth sister?
Could it be that as I had expected, he treated me... Oh, why am I letting my imagination run wild again?
My eldest brother is very talented, and he probably saw that my fourth sister was dissatisfied, so he did the opposite and used this to provoke a dispute. Therefore, when my fourth sister returned home, she regarded me as her enemy.
He really has no real intention towards me.
Whenever Ning Jiewei talked about her older brother, she looked disdainful.
"It's ridiculous that everyone praises Brother Gao Ping as Yuesheng's most filial son. In fact, he has long followed Third Sister and no longer cares about you."
She changed the subject and added a reasonable explanation on the matter.
"But the reason is not that the eldest brother is kind-hearted, but that the third sister is outstanding."
Then, she became domineering and arrogant.
"As for me, I didn't like you in the first place. Third sister never fought for me. I was convinced and made friends with you of my own accord!"
Mu Rong was unwilling to believe that her son had changed his heart, so she tried to understand his intentions and give him some advice.
"Feng Zhe must have seen your unyielding spirit and acted in the opposite way. He has been hypocritical to Ning Yunxi from the very beginning!"
After hearing this, Ning Yunxi felt gloomy and her mood fell to the bottom.
As expected...the love from big brother is all fake.
Mu Rong took two steps forward and wanted to hold her daughter's hand.
"You and Feng'er are both kindhearted, so you misunderstood Fengzhe's intention..."
Before she could finish her words, her daughter rejected her coldly. Mu Rong was furious and complained to Ning Yunxi many times.
"How can she be outstanding? She is notorious and a complete villain. How can you believe her?"
"I slandered her to her face, but she said nothing. Why? She just felt guilty."
Ning Jiewei looked at him coldly, without a trace of kindness in her eyes.
"Mother, do you dare to tell these words to outsiders? Let everyone in the world see clearly how you treat Third Sister harshly."
Mu Rong immediately refuted.
"Why do you say that? I'm not a fool, how can I say such things to others?"
Ning Jiewei responded with the same sentiment, speaking eloquently.
"What my mother said was true, but I dare not make it public. Why? Because I feel guilty."
"Since you know that this is a big mistake, why does your mother persist in doing so?"
Upon hearing that she had fallen into her trap, Mu Rong became furious.
"I won't play these word games with you. It's boring."
"I am here to warn you that from now on, you are not allowed to broadcast live like that. Do you hear me?"
Ning Jiewei pursed her lips, looking unhappy.
"Is this out of concern, mother, or do you think I'm embarrassing?"
Mu Rong raised her tone and responded in a sonorous voice.
"care!"
Ning Jiewei's request was appropriate.
"Then please learn from me how Third Sister cares for me."
Mu Rong was very reluctant.
"I am her mother, how can I stoop to learn from her?"
Ning Jiewei was methodical and analytical.
"Didn't you just say that she is an outsider? My sister is a princess, and although her position is not as high as that of a duchess, she has a two-character title, and it starts with the word "Yue" in the country's name. She is honored and noble enough to be on an equal footing with you. How can you say that I am humbled? It is Madam Ning's honor to be able to learn from my sister."
Mu Rong was so angry that she jumped up and down.
"I told you I won't play word games with you!"
Ning Jiewei made an excuse and ordered them to leave.
"Then please go back home with peace of mind, mother. Third sister and I have some important matters to discuss."
Mu Rong was so angry that she turned away with a wave of her sleeves.
Ning Hanwang followed.
He learned a lesson and quietly waited not far away for Ning Jiewei to get on Zhuang Shao's carriage and drive far away from the Ningguo Mansion. Then he appeared again, called Ning Yunxi and spoke to her seriously.
"Kneel down."
Ning Yunxi recognized the voice, turned around, bowed, and knelt down as instructed.
"Please be blessed, father."
Ning Hanwang is arrogant and overbearing.
"Do you know you were wrong?"
Ning Yunxi looked displeased, but remained respectful.
"The child doesn't know."
Ning Hanwang stood on the pine tree, overlooking intimidatingly, which was intimidating.
"Then kneel down and reflect on yourself. Do not get up until dawn."
Ning Yunxi frowned slightly, looking aggrieved.
"Father……"
Ning Hanwang became impatient and interrupted directly.
"You dare to complain when your father punishes you?"
Xu Mingqian looked everywhere for Ning Yunxi, intending to thank her in person. Finally, when everyone had dispersed, he saw her figure.
Just when he was about to call her, unexpectedly, Ning Hanwang took the lead; just when he was about to say hello, unexpectedly, she knelt down without any warning.
Seeing that Ning Hanwang seemed to be in trouble, Xu Mingqian quickly stepped forward and bowed with a slight smile.
"Greetings to Lord Ning."
Ning Hanwang was startled at first, then responded with a smile.
"Master Xu, how are you?"
Xu Mingqian did not answer, but looked at Ning Yunxi, asking in confusion.
"What are you doing, sir?"
