Chapter 558: Jealousy

Chapter 558: Jealousy

Ning Fengzhe looked at his sister and acted a little frightened.

"Alas, mother's methods are really cruel."

"Don't be fooled by my calm appearance. In fact, I am also very scared in my heart."

"We are brothers and sisters, we are the same people, don't be afraid of me, okay?"

Ning Yunxi was not suspicious and believed it immediately.

"Mother, are you going to dig out all the seven orifices too?"

In order not to scare his sister, Ning Fengzhe spoke to ease the situation.

"Of course not. How can there be such cruel people in the world? Don't worry, Xi'er. They all passed away peacefully."

Ning Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief and followed his brother back to his seat.

"My mother treats me so well."

Suddenly, a sharp arrow struck Ning Fengzhe's heart, catching him off guard.

"what?"

"How can it be said that she is treating you well if this happens to her?"

"You should be afraid of her and stay away from her."

Ning Yunxi changed her attitude, calmed down, and made excuses for her mother.

"When elders fight, it's normal for them to kill each other."

Ning Fengzhe was filled with jealousy.

"Ignoring the law and disposing of slaves privately, how can she be considered normal?"

What he said made sense, Ning Yunxi had no choice but to agree.

"My brother is right. Mother is indeed impulsive."

Ning Fengzhe was so angry that his scalp was numb and he lost his mind.

"What impulse?"

"This is cruel and unscrupulous. This is the behavior of an evil woman!"

Ning Yunxi pleaded for her mother.

"But, as we all know, my mother is virtuous and not cruel."

Ning Fengzhe covered his painful chest and had difficulty breathing.

"Aren't you afraid of her?"

Ning Yunxi expressed her family affection in a decisive manner.

"Don't be afraid, at most be in awe."

"A mother is kind and a son is filial. I am just a foolish filial son."

Ning Fengzhe frowned and looked depressed.

"You are really a foolish filial piety."

Ning Yunxi felt aggrieved.

"This is a humble statement. How can you interpret it in a random way, big brother?"

"Didn't you say I'm not stupid?"

Ning Fengzhe was unhappy and couldn't muster up the energy to smile.

“Sometimes slow and clumsy.”

Ning Yunxi responded with a positive attitude and was no longer sad.

"Then please teach me quickly, brother, so that I can become smart quickly."

Ning Fengzhe was filled with worry and looked a little depressed.

"I won't teach you anymore. I can't teach you."

Ning Yunxi was stunned for a moment, not knowing why.

"Why can't you teach me?"

"Why are you angry, brother?"

She stood up from her seat, walked to her brother, and as usual, she acted coquettishly and admitted her mistake.

"It's all my fault for being stupid and making you angry. Big brother, please forgive me. I beg you."

With just this sentence, Ning Fengzhe's mood cleared up and he couldn't help but smile.

"Please ask me one more thing and I'll forgive you."

Ning Yunxi shook her shoulders and stamped her feet, her charming demeanor fully revealed.

"Big brother, I beg you."

Ning Fengzhe's mood is like a rainbow of joy.

"Okay, I forgive you."

Ning Yunxi heaped up nice words and compliments, while casting an admiring look.

"Brother Xiu Xiu is very tolerant and deserves the high praise of the world's great sage."

Ning Fengzhe was satisfied and gestured to return to his seat.

"You are so sweet."

He took out paper and pen and started teaching formally.

"Today, I will teach you how to set up the chess pieces."

Ning Yunxi asked as she returned to her seat.

"Big brother, can you teach me how to play chess?"

Ning Fengzhe picked up the pen and began to write.

"This chess piece is not that chess piece. It refers to a strategy."

"Planning a strategy is like laying out a chessboard. Let's take what happened the other day as an example..."

During the teaching process, he knew when to stop and tried not to show off his knowledge. He only gave hints and suggestions, allowing Xier to understand on her own.

Ning Yunxi stared at it intently, and finally, with an embarrassed look on her face, she made a comment.

"Please forgive me for being blunt, but my brother's plan doesn't seem very smart."

Ning Fengzhe pretended to be unconvinced.

"This is my most brilliant plan."

"Don't tell me, you already know how to break the impasse?"

Ning Yunxi had the answer instantly.

"The solution to this dilemma lies in what Big Brother said."

Ning Fengzhe was very modest and pretended to be surprised.

"Really? I don't realize it myself."

"How could there be any omission in my words?"

Ning Yunxi picked up the pen in front of her and pointed out the mistake.

"Please look here. You clearly said..."

After hearing her analysis, Ning Fengzhe immediately acted as if he had suddenly realized something.

"I see."

"Xi'er, you are so smart. It's unnecessary for me to teach you."

"I never expected that the strategy would be so flawed."

"It can be seen that people like me who don't know how to hide things are prone to such omissions."

"As long as you learn to listen and discern, you will be able to see into people's hearts..."

He was measured and continued to explain how to break the deadlock.

In this way, he was diligent and she was never tired of learning, and they kept studying until nightfall.

Considering his sister's reputation, Ning Fengzhe stopped writing and gave serious instructions.

"That's all for today. Let's continue tomorrow."

"It's getting late. After you go back home and have dinner, take a shower, change clothes, and go to bed early. Don't tire yourself out."

Ning Yunxi stood up respectfully and smiled at him.

"Thank you for your concern, brother."

"Then I'll take my leave and go back home. Big brother, please go to bed early."

Ning Fengzhe responded with a smile.

"Go ahead, it's getting dark, be careful where you step."

Ning Yunxi responded.

"Yes."

Watching his sister go away, Ning Fengzhe's face suddenly became gloomy. He took off a cloak and went straight to Xianyi Residence.

After reporting, Ning Fengzhe took off his cloak and walked into the dining room of his residence.

"May mother be blessed with peace and prosperity."

The meal had just been prepared in the kitchen. Mu Rong sat down with her chopsticks in hand, preparing to eat when she saw her beloved son and waved to him.

"Fengzhe, you haven't eaten yet? Come, sit down, mother will accompany you."

"Someone, add some chopsticks for the eldest master."

The maid came quickly and presented a set of bowls and utensils.

Ning Fengzhe waved his hands and dismissed his attendants.

"Everyone, step back."

Mu Rong then gave an order.

"Back off."

The maids took their leave and closed the door.

Xier was wronged, Ning Fengzhe had no intention of eating, and the moment he closed the door, he flew into a rage.

"Why did mother team up with Liu Yan to spread rumors in the mansion and tell the whole mansion that Ning Yunxi is not favored?"

"Do you know that even servants dare to be arrogant to her nowadays and show no courtesy?"

Mu Rong didn't care about it. Instead, she was considerate and picked some food for him.

"It's just a trivial matter, why are you speaking so harshly?"

Seeing her indifferent expression, Ning Fengzhe became even more furious.

"Is this a small thing?"

"What benefit will it bring to future plans?"

"Can mother have a longer-term vision when doing things?"

Mu Rong put down her chopsticks, looked at her beloved son, and tried to comfort him earnestly.

"This matter has nothing to do with future plans."

"She is only four years old. What can she remember? No matter how many grievances she has suffered, she will forget them all."

"I will bully her while she is still young and doesn't remember anything. When she grows up and has complicated plans and tricks, I won't be able to bully her easily."

Ning Fengzhe's brow was stern, and he looked as if the storm was coming.

"Why do you have to bully her?"

Mu Rong persisted in her evil ways and acted as if it was a matter of course.

"Wouldn't it be a pity to take her in and raise her without using her for this purpose?"

"I favor my concubine and neglect my wife. Life is hard. Tell me, if I don't bully her, who else can I bully?"

She thought she was humorous and said something funny to make her son laugh.

"Is it possible that I am bullying you?"

Ning Fengzhe was filled with anger and slammed the table suddenly.

"Okay, just come at me!"
