Chapter 546 A Good Show
Talking about his nephew, Mu Yan was no longer depressed and immediately became radiant.
"Fengzhe, respectfully accompanying His Majesty, I heard that Lord Teng has made great achievements recently and has a promising future. Many people say that Lord Teng will take power in the Yinsitai in the future. Therefore, Fengzhe suggests that I can use him to bluff."
"Who would have thought that Ning Hanwang was so arrogant that Lord Teng's reputation could not scare him."
Mu Rong smiled helplessly, with a bit of contempt.
"Alas, what does a little kid know? No matter how smart he is, he is still ignorant of the ways of the world. Only the Imperial Concubine cares for him and is willing to play with him."
Mu Yan was angry and dissatisfied.
"Who says Fengzhe doesn't understand? Fengzhe knows a lot, and his ideas are brilliant."
"He is my beloved nephew, and I am happy to pamper him."
"You are a worthy mother. Your son stayed up all night for you, but you were not moved. Instead, you said he was fooling around."
After hearing what she said, Mu Rong felt ashamed and lowered her head for the sake of her beloved son.
"Yes, I am wrong. Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
It was enough to admit the mistake. Mu Yan couldn't bear to embarrass her sister, so she got back to business.
"Now that things have come to this, I am helpless and cannot help you."
"If you are sad, you can stay in the palace for a while. I will report to the emperor."
"However, this is not a long-term solution. You have to return home eventually."
Mu Rong's eyelashes were fluttering, and there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"Ok, I know."
"Since you can't win, just surrender like your father and mother did, and swallow all the grievances and pains."
Mu Yan gave serious advice.
"I can see that your brother-in-law is not completely heartless towards you."
"If you persuade him well, he won't suffer any loss, and at least he will keep your position as his legal wife."
Mu Rong stared at the falling leaves outside the window, feeling somewhat melancholy and confused.
"Master, what he does to me is love and interest. I can no longer tell the difference."
"Why do men only show interest in me when they see me, without showing any affection?"
"Do I really only have the aura of a prostitute?"
Mu Yan curled her lips, feeling a little jealous.
"What's wrong with a man being interested in you?"
"When can I ask you to live with me as my concubine? Although you have the honor of being a concubine, you are not allowed to be summoned by the emperor. You have to stay alone in an empty room all day. Are you satisfied?"
Mu Rong was deeply saddened and almost in tears.
"Why are we so extreme? Can't we find a middle ground?"
Mu Yan held her sister's hands and comforted her gently.
"My dear sister, there is no such thing as perfection in the world. My father and mother taught us that we should know how to be content."
"You are born with a charming body, which is an advantage. You should not feel inferior to others. Maybe, in the future, you can earn a lot of money with your beautiful appearance."
Mu Rong pulled her hand away, frowning in anger, and turned away, not wanting to face him.
"I don't use my looks to earn money. It's dirty. Isn't this mocking me, Sister Imperial Concubine?"
Mu Yan felt very wronged.
"Why is it so unclean? Who can predict what will happen in the future?"
"Your thinking is too narrow."
Mu Rong couldn't understand and felt that there was ill intention.
"We are sisters, but you only know how to make fun of me. I will take my leave and go back home now."
Mu Yan spoke in a gentle voice and handed over a plate of snacks.
"Good sister, don't be angry, I am just comforting you."
"Don't you like guarding your property the most? I thought, I'll give you what you like."
Mu Rong gave her face and ate a piece reluctantly.
"It doesn't sound like what he wants."
Mu Yan never got tired of coaxing her sister.
"Oh, what a betrayal..."
On the other side, Ning Hanwang returned to Yanxiju.
As soon as he sat down, he heard bad news from Ning Fengzhe.
"Father, something terrible has happened. I went to Kaifengju to pay my respects to my grandmother, when suddenly a group of people came and took my grandmother and aunt away. They said... said..."
Ning Hanwang was startled suddenly, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"What did they say?"
"Why did the villains come and capture these two?"
Ning Fengzhe's eyes were red, as if he had been sobbing for a long time.
"They said that Princess Qin had instigated civil unrest in Yinsitai and was plotting rebellion. The Zheng clan was involved, and my grandmother and aunt were also involved."
Ning Hanwang didn't even bother to get up and just sat on the ground.
"what?"
"Where are mother and second sister now?"
It seemed as if his tears had dried up, and Ning Fengzhe sobbed uncontrollably, filled with grief and pain.
"Should be locked up in Yinsitai."
When asked where he was going, Ning Hanwang stood up.
"I'll go and inquire about the situation."
Ning Fengzhe's face was sad, and showed a hint of urgency.
"I'll go as well."
Ning Hanwang bent down and comforted his beloved son in a soft voice.
"Be good, Fengzhe, stay in the mansion. This is not something a child can handle."
Ning Fengzhe burst into tears, as if his mind was breaking down.
"But I'm afraid something unexpected might happen and I won't be able to see them again."
Ning Han looked at him with pity and gazed at him intently.
"No, father is here, he will definitely rescue them and bring them back home."
"Good boy, are you willing to trust your father?"
Ning Fengzhe nodded innocently.
"My father is a man of high talent, and I am willing to believe in him."
Ning Hanwang looked at the difficulties and smiled.
"Then go back home and wait for my good news."
Ning Fengzhe was anxious and unhappy.
"There is no time to lose. Please go and come back quickly, father."
Ning Hanwang cast a firm look.
"okay."
Ning Fengzhe bowed while crying bitterly.
"Farewell to my father."
Ning Hanwang walked away hurriedly with anxious steps.
Ning Fengzhe did not stay long and was about to leave when he heard a faint voice of praise behind him.
"Mr. Ning, you put on a great show. It's stunning and ingenious."
Ning Fengzhe was really startled. He retracted his steps, turned around and saw Gu Yuanqiong standing in the hall.
"You...what are you doing here?"
Gu Yuanqiong smiled comfortably and sat down comfortably, not at all shy.
“Watch and learn.”
"I want to see how a real man can give up his ambition and cry like a little girl."
Ning Fengzhe was confused and teased, and was filled with anger.
"Are you done yet? If you have to argue, why bother me?"
Gu Yuanqiong brought his own jade cup and sipped the tea.
"Master Ning thinks highly of himself, but he is not good at speaking?"
Ning Fengzhe was so angry that he neglected his manners and glared at her.
"It's better than you, okay? Stop bothering me."
"You have been pestering me from yesterday to today, hindering my grand plan. You are not behaving like a prince. You are a burden."
Gu Yuanqiong showed his sincerity.
“This is to cherish the virtuous.”
"With Master Ning's wisdom, it would be a waste of your talent to wander between houses for a mere little sister. It would be better for you to join my army. After I leave the capital, I will temporarily hand over Beizhaotai to you. You and your father are connected and will be able to ensure safety."
Speaking of Ning Yunxi, he was completely puzzled.
"What's so good about Miss Ning San? Why do you take such good care of her and plan for her wholeheartedly?"
"This prince has found out that she doesn't seem to be your biological sister."
Ning Fengzhe's brows were furious and he looked extremely fierce.
"Please, Your Highness, do not pry into my privacy."
Gu Yuanqiong was not afraid of his cruelty and just kept on trying.
"I just want to know what's so good about her? Tell me, I don't know. I love her too."
Faced with him, Ning Fengzhe was exhausted and could only run away.
"Xiao Ke has something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."
