Chapter 563 This Woman is Terrible

Ning Fengzhe suggested that his mother go to the market, buy some expensive furniture, and deliver them to Penglai Residence personally.

Mu Rong did as she was told immediately.

She found a cousin and, through the sisters' casual conversation, she conveyed the message, intentionally or unintentionally, that the master was responsible for the expenses, while she was responsible for the purchases and taking care of their beloved daughter, and that they had the same ideas.

Some people who were in the market heard it, while others saw it. Within half a day, the news spread throughout Shengjing.

Ning Fengzhe spread rumors, which slightly improved the reputation of Ning Hanwang and Mu Rong.

Seeing this, Mu Rong was overjoyed and bought a lot of furniture for Ning Yunxi.

Ning Hanwang also showed concern for his daughter and even spent lavishly to host a grand banquet, saying that his beloved daughter was too weak and needed more nourishment.

Within a few days, Ning Yunxi was immersed in the love of her father and mother. From the initial disbelief, to the peace of mind later, now she is enjoying it and cannot extricate herself.

These days are better than dreaming.

She thought that her achievements and honor as well as the emperor's generous rewards moved her parents, so they changed their minds about her; she thought that she had finally escaped from her miserable situation and was no longer a child without parental love.

She could see that the love from her father and mother was superficial or not real.

But she thought she should be content.

First the appearance comes first, then the inner qualities. Perhaps, slowly, parents will get better and better.

One day, it rained heavily.

Ning Hanwang opened a painting, admired it himself, and then planned to send it to Penglai Residence.

Mu Rong walked in hurriedly, holding the account book.

"Master, don't send that painting yet, take a look at this."

After saying this, she sat down next to the master and placed the account book on the square table.

Ning Hanwang followed his wife's gaze and became flustered.

"What's the emergency, ma'am?"

Mu Rong opened the account book and showed it to the master.

"I just had some free time and took out the account book to do some calculations. I was shocked to find that Ning Yunxi cleverly used rumors to spend all the money given by the emperor on herself. She either used it to buy furniture, or to enjoy delicious food, or to go on outings and have fun."

"In short, there's not a penny left."

Her brows were furrowed and she looked angry.

"What's more, we smiled and were attentive, willing to accompany her and spend all the money that originally belonged to us!"

Ning Hanwang couldn't believe it and asked again and again.

"Those gold, silver and jewels, if converted into silver, were actually spent by her?"

"Madam, have you counted it over and over again? Indeed, it's just the right amount to spend?"

There was a hint of determination in Mu Rong's anger.

"It is also."

"It can be seen that she is good at calculating and has a complicated mind."

"In the past few days, we have accompanied her to eat, drink, and have fun, and have done so many things. Who can remember the amount of silver, and who can calculate it clearly?"

"I never expected that she remembered the account clearly in her mind."

Ning Hanwang made a reasonable inference.

"So, she was the one who deliberately spread the rumor that her daughter was being treated harshly?"

Mu Rong looked sternly in the direction of Penglai Residence.

"If it's not her, who else could it be?"

Ning Hanwang's eyes dimmed.

"How can a five-year-old child have such a plan?"

"This woman is very scary."

Mu Rong analyzed the issue in detail and spoke eloquently.

"Where did the emperor's generous reward come from? Wasn't it her who obtained it through trickery and conspiracy?"

"She came up with the plan without any effort. It was easy for her to gain fame and be rewarded."

"The master is still acting like a kind father, trying to hide it from her eyes, but he doesn't know that she has seen through it long ago. Maybe she is secretly laughing at her father's pretense."

According to her words, Ning Hanwang seemed to see Ning Yunxi laughing at him in private, and he couldn't help feeling suffocated and angry.

"Madam is absolutely right. She must have seen through it."

"I acted seriously, but in her eyes, I looked like a fool."

He gritted his teeth and smiled coldly.

"Oh, she pretended to be completely ignorant and unintentionally used her arrogance to make us mistakenly believe that the money was easily obtained, so we were careless for a moment. Then, inexplicably, we were led around by the little child by the nose and played around in circles."

Thinking of being teased by her, Mu Rong felt upset and unhappy.

"It seems that from now on, we must be alert and be careful to guard against Ning Yunxi."

Ning Hanwang was worried about his beloved son and became anxious.

"Fengzhe is usually the closest to her. That child is filial and for our sake, he tried his best to be false and affectionate. I think he was also played around by Ning Yunxi."

"I can't just watch Fengzhe fall into danger. I'm going to remind him to get away quickly and not do anything dangerous again."

Mu Rong patted the back of his hand and spoke softly.

"It's raining heavily outside, and it's hard to walk. Master, just take care of your business, I'll go."

Ning Hanwang was uneasy and left his seat in a hurry.

"I'm worried about Fengzhe being in danger."

"We'll go together."

The couple lived in Beitang.

After the ceremony, everyone took their seats, and Ning Fengzhe was very respectful.

"May I ask what instructions my father and mother have for us?"

Ning Hanwang sat silently, leaving the right to speak to his wife for the time being.

Mu Rong understood and spoke first, giving stern instructions.

"Ning Yunxi is very cunning and difficult to deal with. You should immediately put aside your false pretenses and stop taking risks."

Ning Fengzhe smiled happily and looked extremely relaxed.

"Ning Yunxi is only a five-year-old child. What strategy do you know? Why did mother say that?"

"Are you worried about her plan to become famous? I have already said that she was just lucky and happened to be in the right place, just like when Lord Zhuang rescued the Gu family in the past, the situation is exactly the same, there is no difference."

"Even if you are smart, you are only as smart as a child, and it is difficult to compare with the minds of the elders."

"Don't worry, mother. The child can handle it."

Mu Rong spoke with a serious face and smiled solemnly.

"In addition to her plans to make a name for herself, she also used subterfuge to secretly use the emperor's grace and rewards."

"You don't know, these past few days, we have been playing with her, and before we knew it, she has squandered all the rewards."

Her brows tightened, her expression became more serious, and when she looked at her beloved son, she was even more worried.

"This woman should not be underestimated."

"Your false intentions are obvious and she will definitely see through them. If she takes advantage of the situation and tricks you into joining her, it will be too late for you to escape."

After listening to her, Ning Fengzhe realized that he had been careless in his strategy and made them fear Xier.

He secretly disdains.

It's just a crude plan, like children playing house, so why should we be afraid of it?

They are so stupid and ignorant.

On the surface, Ning Fengzhe remained indifferent.

"Using this opportunity to plan for your own benefit? Mother is worrying too much."

"The child does not have such ability and cannot be taught. How can she learn?"

"If you don't learn, how can you have the skill?"

Unable to persuade, Mu Rong looked anxious and sad.

"She is born with the ability, why does she need you to teach her?"

Ning Fengzhe was trying to evade the question while thinking about how to save the situation.

"Mother is worrying too much. It's impossible for her to do that."

Seeing that he was stubborn and unaware of the danger, Mu Rong became anxious and started to scold him.

"You don't listen to good advice, kid, you don't know people!"

Ning Han saw this and then spoke.

"Madam, please don't be upset."
