Chapter 560 Famous all over the world
Ning Yunxi is stubborn and determined to make a name for himself.
Ning Fengzhe had no choice but to agree.
He continued to give hints and guidance, teaching her how to use strategies and how to improve strategies in light of the current situation.
Just like that, a plan to become famous was accomplished.
At such a young age, Ning Yunxi fought against the villains and saved the people. In one day, he became famous all over the world.
As she wished, people all over the world praised Miss Ning for her resourcefulness and called her a genius of the time.
Upon hearing this, Gu Mengzhen immediately summoned Ning Yunxi, praised him highly, and rewarded him generously to reassure the people.
Logically speaking, Yan Yu should also announce his meeting and show his attitude to the outside world. However, he was surrounded by enemies and could not protect himself. He was afraid that someone behind Ning Yunxi would take the opportunity to assassinate him. Therefore, he could only hide in the Emperor Jin Palace and not see anyone behind the scenes, claiming that he was still young and inexperienced.
Ning Yunxi left the palace and returned home with great honor. Ning Hanwang and Mu Ronggao welcomed her from afar with great hospitality.
Ning Yunxi was naturally happy to be loved by her parents. She followed them to Yanxiju and sat down after the ceremony.
Ning Hanwang raised his cup and sipped tea, secretly exchanged glances with his wife, then put down the teacup and smiled happily.
"Xi'er has made a name for herself and has great potential. Our Ning and Mu clans will also benefit from this and feel extremely honored."
Mu Rong's brilliant smile is like a hundred flowers blooming in all their glory.
"What the master said is absolutely true."
"Xi'er, sent by God, came to our family. It is really our greatest blessing."
Ning Yunxi lowered her eyes, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"Father and mother, thank you so much."
"It's not my own achievement. This is a plan that my elder brother and I discussed together."
"Brother, your kind words and teachings have benefited me a lot."
Mu Rong holds Ning Yunxi in high esteem and is generous in giving her the family affection she wants.
"Xi'er, there's no need to be modest."
"He is just a little clever, but he knows nothing. He heard you talk about the plan and then said he was involved in it. Is that right? I can tell at a glance that this plan was yours alone. Otherwise, why would the emperor reward you so much and not mention Fengzhe at all?"
Ning Yunxi sat upright and respectfully told the truth.
"The content of the plan was indeed what I had in mind, but the few words that elder brother said inadvertently enlightened me and awakened me, which had a miraculous effect. Therefore, elder brother played an indispensable role."
Mu Rong took the opportunity to emphasize the kinship relationship to her intentionally or unintentionally.
"You are too modest, kid. You are exactly like your father when he was young."
Ning Yunxi had already begun to doubt their relationship, and after hearing this, her worries were relieved.
"Thank you for your approval, mother."
Ning Hanwang got back to the main business and gave instructions in a serious tone.
"The emperor has given you a reward of silver. You must not take it lightly. If you do not want to use it for the time being, you must keep it properly."
Ning Yunxi responded obediently.
"Yes."
Mu Rong naturally got to the point.
"Not for now? I thought the master would explain the difficulties to Xi'er."
Ning Yunxi was slightly startled.
"What difficulties did your father encounter?"
Mu Rong pretended to narrate the story.
"Master, he..."
Ning Hanwang interrupted solemnly.
"Ma'am, please be patient."
Mu Rong showed a bit of anxiety.
"Why doesn't the master allow me to speak?"
Ning Hanwang looked serious and acted like a kind father.
"I am a father, how can I ask my daughter for money? Madam, you are too unreasonable."
Mu Rong acted coquettishly and pretended to persuade him.
"It's not like I won't pay it back, I just think of it as a loan from you."
Ning Hanwang was full of righteousness and spoke with certainty.
"That's not OK."
"Xi'er has been rewarded by the emperor for her own abilities. She should distribute the reward money by herself. She should keep it in the treasury or buy something she likes. Even if she rewards the servants, she should not give it to me."
Mu Rong expressed her distress and continued to persuade.
"What's wrong with a daughter honoring her father? Besides, the master is just borrowing it."
"Otherwise, how can we get through this difficult time?"
After thinking about it, Ning Yunxi expressed his opinion.
"I am willing to pay the reward money to honor my father."
"Excuse me, mother, what kind of difficulties are you facing?"
Mu Rong's every word was like withered leaves, and she was in unbearable pain.
"Well, it's a long story. In short, the Ning Mansion's treasury is in urgent need of funds, and even the monthly allowances for everyone in the mansion are difficult to provide."
Ning Hanwang spoke with deep emotion and persuaded the lady to stop.
"Ma'am, don't cause trouble for Xi'er."
Mu Rong turned a deaf ear and continued to complain.
"Your father wanted to resume his old business and earn money through business. You know, the Ning family's ancestors were merchants. But we don't have any capital, so how can we get a shop and start a business?"
The joy on Ning Yunxi's face gradually disappeared, leaving only a hint of worry.
"Excuse me, how much capital do you need?"
There was a deep calculation in Mu Rong's eyes.
"The number is so long that it is incalculable."
"Tell me first, how much reward did you receive?"
Ning Yunxi opened the brocade box and showed the gold, silver and jewelry.
"The Emperor's grace and reward are all here."
Mu Rong's eyes brightened for a moment, but her mouth remained calm.
"Well, barely, it's enough."
Ning Yunxi asked tentatively.
"I wonder if you could leave fifty taels of silver for the child?"
When she heard the request for money, all of Mu Rong's kindness turned to ashes.
"What do you need so much silver for?"
Ning Yunxi was honest and did not lie.
"I want to buy a birthday present for Qiu Bi."
Mu Rong immediately became angry and shouted loudly.
"Spending fifty taels on a maid, are you crazy?"
Ning Hanwang is keen on pretending to be a good person.
"Madam, please don't scold Xi'er. Fifty taels is not a lot. Give it to her."
He was obsessed with getting red-faced, so Mu Rong could only be harsh and domineering to cooperate with him.
"My daughter is greedy and vain, but the master actually indulges her?"
"Master, I strongly oppose this way of teaching children."
Ning Yunxi took a step back.
"Then thirty taels, okay? My child, I beg you, mother."
Mu Rong is arrogant and domineering.
"One tael of silver, take it if you want."
She argued plausibly and put the blame on others.
"At this time when the Ning Mansion is in danger, you don't think about protecting your parents, but are thinking about buying a birthday present for a maid."
"I have never seen such an ungrateful daughter like you!"
Ning Yunxi was discouraged.
"My child knows his fault."
Mu Rong felt indignant, as if she was being wronged.
"Go to the front yard of Penglai Residence, kneel for three hours, and reflect on your actions."
"Also, I will watch you spend this tael of silver. If you dare to embezzle it secretly, I will punish you severely and will not tolerate it."
Ning Yunxi's attitude was sincere.
"I am not greedy. After buying gifts, if there is any surplus, I will give it to my mother."
Mu Rong's words were harsh and merciless.
"I still remember your selfish face just now. I'm afraid I can't trust your filial piety."
Ning Yunxi could give up the money, but could not bear the injustice and could not help but defend herself.
"Mother is very perceptive..."
Mu Rong didn't want to listen to her explanation and interrupted her directly.
"It's none of your business. Go kneel down."
Ning Yunxi swallowed her tears and reminded weakly.
"One ounce of silver has not been given to me yet."
Mu Rong was furious. She took out a tael of silver and threw it on the ground.
"How could I have given birth to a daughter like you?"
"for you!"
Ning Yunxi couldn't help but cry after all her efforts, only to be blamed.
She said nothing, bowed and left, picked up the silver and turned to leave.
Mu Rong was unkind and gave the order coldly.
"stop."
"Don't cry and whine like you've been bullied by me. If this gets out and people start talking about us mistreating our own daughter, what should we do?"
"Don't cry, walk out with a smile."
