Chapter 499 Swallow This Breath
Hearing that she was going to take real action, Mu Rong became scared.
"Mother, you really misunderstood. No matter how heartless my daughter-in-law is, she would never sell out my son. He is my own child, born after ten months of pregnancy."
"As a mother, please think about it. If it were you, would you do such a thing?"
Zheng Pulian looked at him with contempt and sneered, mocking him casually.
"Who are you to compare with me?"
"I can't bear to be harsh to my beloved son and daughter. As for you, I can't say what your character is like."
"I only know that my family loves Sun, is a kind person, and would never lie to me."
Both the grandfather and the grandson had irritating looks on their faces. Mu Rong was helpless, feeling depressed and resentful.
"Since that's what you said, mother already has the right and wrong in her mind, why should we say anything more? It's hard to make a conclusion."
Zheng Pulian was arrogant and scolded at will.
"I gave you a bit of face, but you refuted me. Second Miss Mu, you are so filial."
She was bossy and gave orders.
"Come on, follow me to Yinsitai."
Mu Rong felt helpless and only hoped that the master would appear and rescue her.
Who doesn't know that Lord Zheng, the Yinsicheng, is Zheng Pulian's third brother?
Since my eldest sister has a request, how can my third brother not respond?
Yin Sitai, you are definitely not going.
Ning Fengzhe saw his mother trembling.
He held his grandmother's wrist tightly with his little hands, not letting her leave.
"Grandma, I'm afraid. Let's not go to Yinsitai, okay?"
Zheng Pulian smiled gently and comforted him carefully.
"My beloved grandson has made no mistakes, so there is no need to be afraid."
"Besides, your great uncle is here in Yinsitai. I know that your great uncle loves you the most."
Ning Fengzhe lowered his head and looked amiable and pitiful.
"What I fear is not my third uncle, but my mother."
"The mother of the noble family was betrayed and failed to do so, but the Yin Sitai did not punish her severely."
"When we return home, my mother will be filled with resentment and will not dare to go after my grandmother. She will definitely come after me. My grandmother may be able to protect me for a while, but how can I ensure that I am safe all the time?"
"Grandson, I beg you, grandma, to let mother go."
The beloved grandson is kind, innocent, pure and beautiful. The more Zheng Pulian sees him, the more she likes him.
“You speak of selfishness, but you see selflessness.”
"Why bother to make other excuses? You just can't bear to see your mother suffer, right?"
Ning Fengzhe's acting, words and actions are vivid and lifelike, without any affectation.
"Grandma can always see through her grandchild's mind."
"My grandmother has a keen eye and can see far away; her wisdom is beyond measure, and she is truly a noble person."
"I am deeply envious of you. How can you be so omniscient and know everything?"
Mu Rong didn't dare to say anything, for fear of being blamed again. Hearing these words, she was filled with anger and quietly rolled her eyes at him.
Since you can't do anything to me, you drag your grandmother along to protect outsiders. Ning Fengzhe, this is all you can do.
Apart from me, a hard-working mother who would rather lose to you, who else in the world can be defeated miserably by your little trick?
Humph, I have a noble heart and I am loyal to my roots, so how could I give birth to a son like you who is a traitor?
Zheng Pulian doesn't care about Mu Rong and is only focused on her beloved grandson.
"Given how old my grandmother was and how many years you have been born, there is naturally a difference in our wisdom."
"Don't be envious, my dear grandson. When you reach this age, you will be as smart as your grandmother."
Seeing her getting carried away, Ning Fengzhe smiled secretly.
“Grandmother’s wisdom is something her grandchildren will never be able to achieve.”
Zheng Pulian smiled indulgently and gently pinched his nose.
"You are the most humble."
She turned her head and glanced at Mu Rong, and her smile suddenly cooled.
"Family disgrace should not be made public. I can excuse Yin Sitai and his party, but I cannot avoid kneeling as punishment."
Thinking about how the master had doted on her for many years and how they had a deep love for each other, Mu Rong swallowed her anger.
"Yes, I'll leave it to my mother."
Seeing her humble appearance, Zheng Pulian felt disgusted.
Who are you pretending to be so pitiful for?
Seemingly being righteous, isn't it just to make the mother-in-law look cunning and evil?
Just looking at this charming face, how can she be a good wife and mother?
Thinking about useless things all day long has caused my son to spoil his wife excessively and do nothing.
This kind of woman who brings disaster should be cut into pieces and disappear from the world!
As Zheng Pulian thought about it, her eyes became more hateful.
"Just now, you saw me but didn't bow. I will punish you. Kneel here and practice the great etiquette of bowing until tomorrow morning."
"Any objection?"
Mu Rong is respectful and humble.
"The daughter-in-law was terrified and had no objection."
After the victory in the inner house and the defeat of the troublemaker, Zheng Pulian was very pleased and a sense of justice arose in her heart.
Seeing that she was so focused on the family fight and had no time to care about business, Ning Fengzhe gave her a simple reminder.
"Grandma, is that plaque just going to hang like this?"
Zheng Pulian naturally hated things used to deceive her beloved grandson, and immediately gave the order.
"Come here, take down the plaque and burn it to ashes. From now on, I don't want to see the word 'Yuan' appear in my house. Otherwise, I will reprimand and punish you, and I will not tolerate it!"
Mu Rong felt helpless.
Ning Fengzhe was very smart and made a suggestion.
"I want to give this courtyard another name."
Zheng Pulian was kind and obedient.
"My dear grandson, you are full of ideas. This is a good thing."
"Let Grandma hear what you have in mind."
Ning Fengzhe had already thought of a name for his sister's residence.
"Penglai Residence."
After saying this, he did not forget to ask politely.
"Excuse me, Grandmother, what do you think?"
Zheng Pulian expressed her views eloquently and praised the work highly.
"It sounds nice. The name chosen by my good grandson is elegant and pleasant to the ear. It is erudite yet popular, and has a high meaning."
"The night before you were born, grandma dreamed of a fairy from Penglai. I still feel it today. You are the fairy sent by God to grandma."
"The name Penglai Residence is perfect and impeccable. It sounds much better than Xiangzhu Garden."
Ning Fengzhe cooperated and smiled happily.
"Then this courtyard will be called Penglai Residence from now on."
Mu Rong gritted her teeth and tried her best to endure.
Zheng Pulian was slightly startled and asked a question.
"Such a nice name, why don't you use it in your residence?"
Ning Fengzhe lowered his eyes and answered.
"My grandson's name was a gift from His Majesty and written by my mother. How can it be changed at will?"
He deliberately emphasized the four words "written by my mother". At the same time, a hint of bitterness appeared on his lips. He was not reluctant to show his grandmother the inner helplessness. If it were not for his mother's reward, he would not have been willing to change the name to Beitangju.
Zheng Pulian felt vaguely that her grandson was on her side and his love and care were extremely considerate.
"It makes sense."
"Then I will place my thoughts on this courtyard. Grandmother will have someone carve a white jade plaque to echo your idea of flying fairies in Penglai. Is that okay?"
Having achieved his goal, Ning Fengzhe was sincerely happy.
"Thank you grandma."
Zheng Pulian is kind and amiable, holding her grandson's hand.
"Let's go, follow grandma, and choose a good piece of jade."
Ning Fengzhe asked a question without leaving any trace.
“Is jade expensive?”
Zheng Pulian realized later that she didn't have much money left, so she lowered her eyes and fixed her gaze on Mu Rong.
"You can give the jade you need to your mother-in-law as a gift. Do you have any objection?"
The son wants to be the boss of his mother and even empty her wallet. Mu Rong covered her aching heart and was almost fainted by this child.
"It's only natural to be filial to your mother, and my daughter-in-law agrees."
In this way, Ning Yunxi's residence was named Penglai Ju.
