Chapter 576 Who is Treating Who Harmfully?

Chapter 576 Who is Treating Who Harmfully?

Once the rumor spread, it quickly spread throughout Shengjing.

People were gossiping, mostly in favor of Ning Hanwang and his wife, but they were all just chatting in private, and no one would go to Ning Yunxi to say anything behind her back.

Ning Yunxi would never send people to inquire about rumors for no reason.

Therefore, for a while, Xiangzhuyuan could not receive any news.

Mu Rong has her own opinion. To deal with the enemy, one must take the initiative and trample the enemy under one's feet. Only when she knows that she cannot win will she learn her lesson.

So, Mu Rong summoned Ning Yunxi under the pretext of appreciating the plum blossoms.

Before Ning Yunxi returned to Xiangzhu Garden, she was called to the garden by her mother.

She was well-behaved and obedient, standing by the wall, picking plum blossoms and cutting branches for her mother to make bouquets.

On the other side of the high wall, Mu Rong arranged several servants to dress up as ordinary people, vividly cooperating with others to convey the trend of Shengjing.

Mu Rong raised her voice, hinting to give orders to the slaves outside the wall.

"Look, Xi'er, the red plum blossoms over there are in full bloom."

"Just prune it and I'll pick it."

Ning Yunxi waited respectfully.

"Yes."

"The snowy roads are slippery, please watch your step, mother."

Mu Rong smiled back and walked away from the wall naturally, leaving Ning Yunxi alone to face the rumors.

As soon as she left, the slaves immediately started talking.

"I heard that Miss Ning San left the mansion for many days without permission. Not only did Lord Ning and Madam Ning not care about it, they didn't even know their beloved daughter was missing."

"No way, we are a family, how can we be so indifferent? Did you see them ignore everything?"

"No, how could I have seen it with my own eyes? It was Miss Ning San who went back home to greet her parents and asked them about it. Now, she is very angry and spread the word so that everyone can judge for themselves."

"It's so unbecoming of her to gossip about her parents so openly. How can she not respect her elders?"

"Regardless of the rules, speaking of this matter alone, it is understandable that Miss Ning San complained about being wronged."

"What do you mean by extenuating circumstances? It's clearly unacceptable."

"Where do you start talking about this?"

"How can there be parents in this world who would ignore their own children? They are from a prominent family and they would ask about their children's well-being every day. How is it possible that their children have been missing for many days and the parents didn't know about it? It is obvious that what Miss Ning San said is all lies."

"You have a point. Even if there is something wrong, you don't need to ask for my well-being. My parents didn't notice it for a while. Could it be that the servants are also unaware? Slaves are paid to do things. Who would be so careless that they didn't even report that their master is gone? Miss Ning San's words are full of loopholes."

"Or maybe what she said was true and not false."

"how to say?"

"Leaving home without permission was a big mistake. She took the initiative to admit her mistake, but Lord Ning and his wife acted nonchalant. The parents had good intentions. They couldn't bear to see their daughter feel guilty and apologize, so they gave their beloved daughter enough face and treated her as if she had never done anything wrong."

"You are absolutely right. It seems to be true."

"Miss Ning San is so ignorant. Such kind and loving parents are hard to find in the world, but she doesn't know how to cherish them."

"Mr. Ning and his wife really love their daughter. The love in the world is so touching that it is unprecedented."

"Miss Ning San, you are such a bastard. How could you have the heart to hurt her loving parents?"

"Isn't it because you have made outstanding achievements, fought against the villains, and saved the people?"

"It's outrageous. I serve the king and the people and use my wisdom to gain merit. Is this just to treat my parents harshly?"

"Who knows what she is planning? We are all good-hearted and pure, so how can we have those thoughts and calculations like hers? Haven't you heard of the old saying? There is no evil without a plan."

The conversation stopped here, and the slaves left together.

Ning Yunxi held a red plum blossom in her hand and stood there, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

She knew in her heart that this was her father and mother's plan. She also knew that since they did this, it must be because of the wind outside, just as these slaves said.

The role of a slave is just to pass on messages.

Why do people assert that it is all her fault?

If the story about Yan Xiju was false, then she was deliberately framing her parents; otherwise, then her parents had good intentions and their family love was touching.

Isn't she the one who has to compromise?

But why should he be despised by everyone?

Is it true that children without parental love will be bullied by outsiders?

Why was it her destiny that she was not loved by her parents?

Is she really so disgusting?

As Ning Yunxi was thinking, tears were already flowing like a spring.

Mu Rong pretended that she was there, outside the wall, and there were also people criticizing Ning Yunxi, and then she was furious and pretended to settle accounts with them, and then she fled far away. Afterwards, she only needed to pretend that the critics fled at the news, and she could maintain the good reputation of family affection.

Seeing this, Ning Yunxi knew that her mother would not come back, so she made a bouquet of flowers, gave it to the maid, and then returned to Xiangzhu Garden.

Upon hearing that the young lady had returned home, Qiu Bi stood at the gate, waiting to welcome her.

Seeing the girl from afar, Qiu Bi ran madly, knelt down in front of her in repentance, and kowtowed repeatedly.

"I know I was wrong. I should never have given the Begonia umbrella to you. I beg you to forgive me!"

"Young lady left the house because she was furious. I am willing to sacrifice my life to make amends, just begging you to calm down!"

She finished her confession in one go, and then she realized that the girl was kneeling in front of her, with her head bowed and unable to get up, crying loudly.

"girl?"

"Why are you kneeling? Isn't it embarrassing for me? Please stand up quickly, young lady."

Ning Yunxi stood up with her.

"It's all my fault, not yours."

Qiu Bi was ashamed.

"Miss, your words are too serious. The fault is indeed mine."

Ning Yunxi took her little hand.

"Let's not talk about the Begonia umbrella anymore."

Qiu Bi nodded slightly.

"Yes."

"Girl, I'm sorry."

Ning Yunxi stared at him sadly, her eyes still filled with grief.

"You, do you still consider me your best friend?"

Qiu Bi took the matter seriously.

"Of course. But I am a humble servant, I just hope you will not abandon me."

Ning Yunxi smiled with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you for wanting me."

Qiu Bi? A piece of sincerity.

"What are you talking about, young lady? I am loyal and will never change my mind. Even if the whole world abandons me, I will never abandon you."

Ning Yunxi felt a little comforted.

"Well, let's go back. I want to rest for a while."

Qiu Bi changed from holding hands to supporting.

"I will wait for you to go to bed."

Ning Yunxi had no bed. Her sleeping place was made up of several coffee tables, covered with quilts and mattresses. At first glance, it looked like a simple small bed.

The two returned to Xiangzhuyuan's bedroom and saw a brocade box on the bed, which was not from Xiangzhuyuan.

Qiu Bi was surprised.

"Before I went to wait on the young lady, I specially made her bed. At that time, I did not see this box."

She shuddered.

"Oh no! Someone has trespassed into the young lady's boudoir. I am calling the servants to protect the young lady!"

Ning Yunxi spoke in time and called Qiu Bi.

"Don't shout, I recognize this brocade box."

She walked forward step by step, cracked the mechanism, and opened the brocade box.

In the box, there was a heart-shaped jade lock lying quietly. She picked it up carefully and held it in her hand.

"That's great, big brother, I think you're fine."

Qiu Bi was confused by what she heard.

"Young Master? What happened to him?"
