Chapter 395 Waiting for Mother Obediently
The past slowly eroded Mu Rong's heart bit by bit, leaving only traces and extinguishing every trace of family affection.
The loving mother and filial son eventually became the most ridiculous memory between them.
"When Xiangzhu Garden caught fire, you secretly planned to drive Liu Yan out of the house in order to protect Ning Yunxi."
"When you were plotting against the Zhuang Mansion, you guessed Ning Yunxi's true identity, so you followed her and cleverly set up a trap to take my Feng'er away."
"You also deliberately revealed Wei'er's life story so that Ning Yunxi could find out. So you were just pretending to be sincere in the plan of harming her. In fact, you never did anything to murder her."
"Step by step, you set up a trap within a trap, plotting against Feng'er and Shewei'er. I foolishly thought that you just misunderstood your mother's preference and said a few words to sow discord without any malicious intent."
"You pretended to be sincere to her, but in fact you were sincere; you were praised by the world as the most filial son in Yuesheng, but in fact you were just sweet-mouthed and treacherous!"
"You have been hiding your true colors so that you can help Ning Yunxi. You have been hiding things from me, lying to me, and playing with me like a monkey, right?"
Ning Fengzhe looked quite serious.
"It is the Emperor's order to hide your cleverness and keep to your simple ways."
He poured a cup of tea and offered it to his mother. His behavior was filial and righteous as usual, but his words were a little cold.
"As for mother being fooled, she was willing to do so. I have expressed this many times, but mother is so proud of her talent that she prefers to believe that I am stupid and not as smart as you, isn't she?"
Mu Rong complained, but still took the teacup with both hands.
"How can you reveal something? You just talk about strategies that I don't understand. It's not even a hint. How can that be considered a reveal?"
Ning Fengzhe made a pretext.
“I thought my mother understood.”
Mu Rong's eyes were still filled with helplessness and sadness. Amidst her scoldings, there was a hint of reluctance and a trembling plea for mercy.
"Even Alliance Leader Qi is no match for you. With your talent, how could you not see that I don't understand? You are clearly playing tricks on me!"
Ning Fengzhe pursed his lips slightly, as if expressing disgust.
"I have no intention of arguing with you about this. I just want to advise you to stay away from Prince Chen."
Mu Rong acted pitifully and discussed the conditions.
"If you stay away from Ning Yunxi, I will stay away from Prince Chen."
Ning Fengzhe felt disgusted by her miserable appearance and didn't want to even look at her.
"Mother, don't you know that Prince Chen will never be able to ascend the throne?"
Mu Rong asked in confusion.
"how you said that?"
Thinking that Xier was concerned about her mother's safety, Ning Fengzhe suppressed his temper and answered.
"On the night of the fire in Prince Chen's mansion, he was deposed by Xi'er. Even if the emperor knew about this, he would not be the heir even if he chose one."
Mu Rong was surprised.
"what?"
Ning Fengzhe remained calm and continued to give advice.
"If you don't believe me, feel free to check it out."
"He is not allowed to ascend the throne, let alone be a puppet emperor. How can I achieve my throne with my mother as his assistant?"
Mu Rong couldn't believe it for a moment.
"I...but he is now in the limelight, even higher than the eldest prince, Prince Li. How could the emperor not have high hopes for him?"
Seeing that she didn't understand, Ning Fengzhe frowned in annoyance.
"Mother is like this again, only observing the surface. He is just a chess piece to check and balance Prince Di Jin. When he is used up, the emperor will abandon him. By then, among the princes and princesses, the older ones will gradually become more mature, and the younger ones will gradually grow up. The important tasks will naturally be taken up by others. How can it be the turn of a useless person?"
Mu Rong listened carefully and finally understood clearly.
"Then who does your Majesty prefer?"
Ning Fengzhe was indifferent and refused to answer.
"How can I presume to guess the emperor's will? Please forgive me, I have nothing to say."
When he sees that the time is right, he changes his attitude appropriately, coaxing and guiding to achieve his goal.
"During this period of time, mother has nothing to do, so she can look around and choose the right person to help her. Only then will she have a chance to achieve great things."
Mu Rong was confused.
"You three brothers and sisters don't care about me. What's the point of me succeeding?"
Ning Fengzhe's eyes looked deep and he asked meaningfully.
"Mother is really worrying too much. Think about it, how can King Di Jin win over people's hearts?"
Comparing his attitude before and after, he seemed even gentler and more generous at this moment. Mu Rong quickly softened her heart and changed her mind according to his words.
"This……"
Ning Fengzhe showed a smile, combining kindness and gentleness, and won people's hearts.
"When a mother has power, are you still afraid that your children will not recognize you? Everyone in the world will rush to cling to you, let alone relatives?"
Mu Rong felt warm in her heart and couldn't help but smile.
"really?"
"When you become successful, you will come back?"
As expected, it was all solved with just a little coaxing. It was very simple. Ning Fengzhe smiled with satisfaction, looking pleased.
"Well, what if?"
Mu Rong immediately became greedy and wanted to persuade her son to come back.
"Then you must have some plans and plots in assisting King Di Jin, and you are not as loyal as you seem, right?"
Ning Fengzhe responded accordingly.
"The mother is wise, and the child has nothing to say."
Mu Rong gave earnest advice, expressed her hardships, and described the mother's worries for her son.
"You must not be foolish and indulge yourself. If you follow him, you might even lose your life."
"In your arms, there are still banknotes that your mother gave you. You know that your mother loves to save money, but she is especially generous to you. Fengzhe, think about it carefully, your mother is the one who cares about you the most, right?"
Ning Fengzhe lowered his eyes respectfully.
"Well, thank you, mother."
Mu Rong swallowed the bitterness and spit out the sweetness, talking about the past.
"You were obviously not like this before you adopted Ning Yunxi. Although you are not very old, compared with people of the same age, your filial piety is a model. Think more about the happy time we had together and don't leave easily, okay?"
Ning Fengzhe tried his best to suppress his emotions, but he still sounded quite impatient.
"it is good."
Mu Rong was immersed in memories, feeling sad.
"Fongzhe, I regret it so much."
"If you hadn't adopted Ning Yunxi earlier, you wouldn't have become like this."
"And Feng'er and Wei'er, we should have been a happy family, why did we encounter such a disaster?"
Ning Fengzhe couldn't bear to listen any more.
"Mom, I have something else to do."
Mu Rong was reluctant to leave, so she pretended to be casual and grabbed her son's sleeve, fearing that he would suddenly get up and leave.
"Don't leave...you want to leave me too, right?"
Anyway, the goal has been achieved, Ning Fengzhe returned to his calm expression.
"It's a busy time, I'm afraid there will be delays."
Mu Rong's thoughts raced, and she soon figured out what was going on. She sobbed, revealing her deep sadness.
"You left without saying goodbye, and King Dijin granted you a long vacation. I've heard about this a long time ago. Today, you returned in secret, so the long vacation hasn't ended yet, so why are you busy with work?"
It was like the autumn wind passing by his ears. Ning Fengzhe was indifferent. He pulled up his sleeves and stood up to salute.
"My child, please leave."
In a trance, Mu Rong seemed to see Feng'er and Wei'er cruelly abandoning her. She lowered her eyes to her hands, only to see that they were empty. She rushed over in panic, but her footing was unstable and she fell heavily to the ground.
"Fongzhe... don't leave me... my child..."
The pain both physically and mentally swept over her, and she burst into tears.
Reaching into her bosom, she took out three personal belongings, which were the gold bracelets her children had worn when they were one year old.
Looking at the small golden ring, it was as if she saw three children. She stopped crying temporarily and began to talk to herself.
"Just be good and wait for mother to take power, and then I will take you back home. Our family will be reunited soon..."
