Chapter 511 The conflict deepens

After Ning Peiyun received the summons, he immediately visited Ning Mansion and went to Kaifengju.

"Mother, are you looking for me?"

Zheng Pulian was angry and didn't care whether her daughter was polite or not. As soon as she saw her, she started complaining.

"Your brother has inherited the title, and he is guaranteed honor and wealth; my son-in-law is the prime minister of Beizhao, but his salary is not as good as that of a duke. My beloved daughter's family is a little difficult, and as a mother, I can help her. What's wrong with that?"

"I pity my daughter, what does it have to do with her? I don't have a daughter, so I'm jealous of people who have daughters. Why does she compare herself with others for no reason?"

"My beloved grandson is kind and honest, without any evil thoughts. How dare she talk about family matters and try to corrupt the child!"

"How could there be a mother like her in the world?"

"Is she worthy of being a mother? Is she worthy of being born as a human being?"

Ning Peijun was confused by what she heard. Just as she sat down, she was frightened by her mother and immediately stood up respectfully. Then, not knowing what was going on, she knelt on her knees.

"Mother, I...I know I am wrong. I will pay my respects now."

"I am Ning Peiyun, respectfully wishing my mother good health."

Seeing this, Zheng Pulian's brows fell into two helpless lines.

"Who said anything about you? Sit up straight."

Ning Peiyun was extremely respectful and did not dare to act rashly.

"Thank you, mother."

Zheng Pulian's eyes followed her beloved daughter as she continued to complain and accuse.

"The relationship between us as mother and daughter is sometimes my love and sometimes your filial piety. It is a give-and-take relationship. No matter who gives more or less, the friendship is always priceless."

"But what about her?"

"Has she ever been filial to me?"

"How dare you ask me not to be partial to one and not to be partial to another?"

"In other words, can she do it herself?"

"I dote on my son more, and cherish my daughter more. I strike a balance between the two. I can say that I am impartial and selfless."

"Which mother is as competent as me? Even if I am not as good as others, I am still a hundred or a thousand times better than her."

After she finished her story, she asked a question with confidence.

"You said that there would be a separate reward for the Reunion Festival. Am I wrong?"

Ning Peijun suddenly realized and finally understood.

"Is that the reason?"

"It's not worth arguing about, is it?"

Zheng Pulian was furious in an instant.

"Is this a small matter? Let me tell you, the situation is very serious!"

Ning Peijun hurriedly tried to coax her.

"Yes, yes, mother is right, and she did the right thing."

Zheng Pulian suppressed her anger and looked serious.

"Be serious and listen to me."

Ning Peiyun was also serious, and contrary to her usual behavior, she was careful with her words and actions, fearing that her mother would vent her anger on her.

"Yes, my child is listening."

Zheng Pulian said it all.

"Tan Mansion, An has her informant."

Ning Peijun was caught off guard and was filled with shock.

"what?"

It was just a small thing, why be surprised? A bitter smile appeared on Zheng Pulian's lips.

I risked my life to give birth to a son and a daughter, but in the end, neither of them had any future.

But she had no choice but to give careful instructions as she was caring about her own child and she was reluctant to be too strict with him.

"You are not good at this. Go back and tell your son-in-law and let him deal with the informant."

"In the future, be careful of the Mu family and don't let her take advantage of you again."

Ning Peiyun nodded in response.

"Yes."

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She complained and was extremely angry.

"Sister-in-law, your behavior is too unkind. If you have the time, why don't you just fight with Aunt Liu? Why send an informant to my house? It's ridiculous for family members to fight against each other."

"Am I trying to steal her noble title or her husband's love? Doing what you want and targeting her for no reason is unreasonable."

"I'll go find her and ask for an explanation."

She was so impatient that she left her seat and ran out the door before he could finish.

Zheng Pulian was panicked and quickly called her daughter.

"Stop there, don't do anything stupid."

Her face was calm, yet she looked a little guilty and timid.

"The Reunion Festival rewards really happened, and they are not just figments. We are in the wrong, so why are we arguing?"

"Even if you want to seek justice, you should find another way. Wait until this matter has died down a little before you start the trouble."

Ning Peijun returned to his seat reluctantly.

"Does mother mean to let her off so easily today?"

Zheng Pulian frowned in displeasure.

"What else? If it gets out of hand, will outsiders talk about me and say I'm partial to one person and not to the other?"

Ning Peijun was filled with rage.

"Humph, the kid is so angry."

Zheng Pulian gently comforted her.

"Keep calm, don't be anxious, a little impatience can ruin a big plan."

The willow trees by the lake sway gracefully, their branches caressing the water surface, intoxicating the ripples and extending the tenderness.

Zheng Pulian accompanied her grandson on a boat ride on the lake, feeling relaxed, comfortable and at peace.

Ning Xuanfeng was just playing in the water and enjoying himself, which was enough to make him happy.

Zheng Pulian kept her eyes fixed on him, paying close attention at all times, fearing that her beloved grandson might accidentally fall into the water.

"Feng'er, be careful and don't be too indulgent."

Ning Xuanfeng ignored the advice and splashed water at her.

"Grandma, take that, hahahaha..."

Her coat was soaked and her hair accessories were knocked off by the water, but Zheng Pulian did not get angry. Instead, she played and had fun with her grandson.

"Bad grandson, I'll teach you how powerful I am."

Ning Fengzhe was sitting next to his grandmother, and the corner of his clothes was slightly wet. He suddenly felt irritated and couldn't hide his expression. He glared at his second brother.

Ning Xuanfeng suddenly felt a chill on his back. He looked around nervously and was frightened by his brother so much that he immediately became quiet.

Zheng Pulian didn't understand the situation and thought her grandson was defeated by her, so she burst into laughter.

"Are you scared already? Hahaha, grandma is awesome, right? Will you dare to be so arrogant again in the future?"

Ning Fengzhe quickly put away his surprised look, smiled and invited him warmly.

"Second brother, come and sit next to me."

Ning Xuanfeng's eyes were dazed. He walked over respectfully and sat upright.

"Yes."

Seeing her grandson being well-behaved, Zheng Pulian felt deeply relieved and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Alas, this child is naughty and withdrawn. He only wants to be close to you and listen to you. Apart from you, if it were anyone else, no matter how hard we try, we would not be able to discipline him."

"We didn't do well enough. Feng'er didn't feel cared for, so she's naturally dissatisfied."

"In other words, you are so considerate and thoughtful that Feng'er can't find any complaints, so she is convinced."

Ning Fengzhe retracted his gaze and felt ashamed.

"You are so kind, Grandmother."

"We are one family, and there is no difference between us. In my grandson's eyes, love and care are the same. My second brother is still young and doesn't know anything, so he is not filial and respectful. I am also negligent. I hope that when he grows up and experiences things, my second brother and I can learn to be sensible and filial to our grandmother together."

Zheng Pulian was overjoyed and expressed her sincere approval.

"Listen to yourself. What you said is so good. No wonder Feng'er only recognized you."

Ning Fengzhe is gentle, respectful and humble.

"My grandson cannot hear it. He always feels that the etiquette is vulgar and he is afraid of offending others."

Zheng Pulian felt like she had found a treasure to have such a talented grandson.

"Love Sun is too modest."

She couldn't let go of her eldest grandson and held him in her arms.

"I often wonder, your father is cowardly and incompetent, and your mother is hypocritical and cunning, how could they give birth to such a good child like you?"

"My master is a man of extraordinary courage, and I am not too bad either, so how could I have given birth to two useless sons?"

"From this, it can be inferred that raising children has little to do with parents. It mostly depends on fate and blessings, right?"

At this point, she became angry.

"Your mother is very lucky. She has an excellent son who is both intelligent and polite."

"If my children were like you, how could they be laughed at by her..."
