Chapter 601 Mother and Daughter Talk

Ning Yunxi told him everything that happened last night.

After hearing this, Mu Rong's guess was confirmed and she immediately gave up trying.

She glanced at Ning Yunxi with disdain and contempt.

"You mean, Fengzhe stayed with you all night and talked to you about everything?"

Ning Yunxi couldn't tell what was strange about these words, she just felt something was wrong, so she repeated the words.

"My child means that we stayed up all night and observed etiquette."

Mu Rong coldly threw out a question.

"Isn't that the same idea?"

Ning Yunxi looked troubled.

"Uh...this..."

"Mother means one thing, and that's what she means."

Mu Rong looked as if she could see through people's hearts and looked down on Yi Ran.

"It is not my intention, but your wish that I interpret it this way."

Ning Yunxi was confused.

"I don't expect that."

Mu Rong gently waved the round fan, her eyes filled with pride.

"What do you mean?"

Ning Yunxi sat respectfully, smiling kindly and gazing at his mother with respectful eyes.

"My mother once said that you and I, mother and daughter, are like close friends. We should not hide anything except white lies."

"Over the years, no matter whether it was daily trivia or the income and expenditure of the clinic, I have reported everything to mother, no matter how big or small."

"My child values ​​his promise, not his character or behavior. He only hopes not to make his mother worry."

Mu Rong was sarcastic and didn't give him a good look.

"You speak in high-sounding terms, but you haven't offered me any money. If you don't have any evil intentions, you should have offered me the wages you earned last night at this time this morning."

Ning Yunxi couldn't help feeling disappointed after revealing her true feelings but only getting such a response.

"I encountered danger last night, which was beyond my expectation. That's why I came back empty-handed."

"My mother only blames me and doesn't feel sorry for me at all?"

Mu Rong didn't understand the good intentions, and just looked at Ning Yunxi with prejudice, judging her.

"You lied to your parents, found excuses to avoid things, and didn't want to work hard. Why should I feel sorry for you?"

Ning Yunxi didn't expect her mother to see it this way. She couldn't bear the injustice and immediately defended herself.

"Every word the child said is true, there is absolutely no deception."

Mu Rong took it calmly and raised questions immediately.

"You said that you were bullied by Lord Luo, the copper official. Why didn't you hold him accountable or report it to Yin Sitai? Words are not enough. You can't produce any evidence."

Thinking of the suffering her beloved son had endured last night, she could no longer endure it and added to her sarcasm.

"Do you think you are a celestial being that all men are obsessed with? It is important to know yourself when you are alive. The Mu family members all say you are ugly. You should believe that the public's eyes are sharper than yours."

Recalling the words of disdain from the Mu family during every holiday reunion, Ning Yunxi felt even more inferior.

"The child knows that he has an ugly face."

She changed the subject and responded to her mother's questions.

"I wanted to report this to Yin Sitai, but my elder brother wouldn't allow it."

Mu Rong rejected it outright.

"Since I can't defend myself, I'll use Fengzhe as an excuse."

She spoke in a sarcastic tone, thinking she had exposed the conspiracy.

"How do you want me to feel sorry for you? You just want to hear that it's too dangerous to go out and find a night job to make a living. My dear daughter, don't do such dangerous things again in the future. Just stay in the mansion and be at ease."

Ning Yunxi slowly lowered her eyes, her feathery eyelashes reflecting a sense of melancholy.

"That's not what I meant, kid."

Hearing her denial, Mu Rong scolded her in a stern voice.

"Ning Yunxi, if you want to be lazy, just say you are lazy. I have never seen someone as shameless as you. You are unwilling to honor your parents, but you still want to find an excuse to gain a good reputation for yourself."

"You have always broken your promise to mother! I tell you, you must find me this night job even if you don't want to."

Ning Yunxi was wronged today and her past deeds were completely denied. She was heartbroken and got up from her seat and knelt down.

"I had been planning to take some time off today and continue looking for a living."

"But please, mother, don't misunderstand me."

Mu Rong remained indifferent and only knew how to distance herself from the matter.

"Don't put the blame on me. I have never misunderstood you."

Unable to bear seeing Ning Yunxi crying and pretending, she became impatient and turned away.

"I have said all I can. If you have nothing else to say, please leave."

Ning Yunxi prostrated herself on the ground and saluted.

"Yes, kid, please leave."

She was discouraged and tired of explaining herself.

Wasn’t it agreed that mother and daughter should be open to each other and get along like close friends?

Why, mother, never confided in me?

Why, when I was honest with others, I was met with suspicion and resentment?

Why wouldn't a mother love her own child?

Is it my face that is disgusting?

Is it that I didn't do well enough?

Will there really be good results if you spare no effort?

Maybe, being kind-hearted is wrong?

But I know the pain of being hurt by others, so how can I bear to do something that hurts others?

Watching Ning Yunxi leave, Shui Qing looked puzzled.

"I can't figure it out no matter how hard I try. What is the Third Lady's intention?"

"You came all the way here to tell me, just to beg your mother to say a word of sympathy? No way."

Mu Rong didn't trust him and made sarcastic comments.

"Of course not."

"How can her mind be so pure?"

Shui Qing asked confusedly.

"This servant is stupid, what does the third lady mean?"

Mu Rong saw through the truth, and a hint of contempt appeared on her lips.

"Oh, provocation."

Shui Qing didn't understand for a moment.

"how do I say this?"

Mu Rong picked up the teacup in front of her and drank the strong tea to refresh herself.

"She saw through Fengzhe's false intentions and used herself as bait to make Fengzhe turn his fake love into reality."

Shui Qing suddenly understood.

"Madam, are you saying that the third lady set up a series of schemes last night to avoid the hard work of the night shift and win the favor of the eldest master?"

Mu Rong's expression was calm, with a hint of fear in her eyes.

"Well, step by step, the design is extremely meticulous."

Shui Qing made the statement without hesitation.

"The eldest son is upright and would definitely not do anything inappropriate."

Mu Rong spoke in a high-pitched and confident tone.

"Of course my son knows how to be polite. Even if he did something wrong, it's her fault!"

Shui Qing had a mocking look on her brows. While agreeing to her master's request, she did not forget to humiliate Ning Yunxi.

"Yes, Sir, you definitely didn't fall for it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to deliberately expose her skin to let you see it and pollute your eyes."

"Thinking back to the conversation just now, I feel that what the lady said is very true. We must be on guard against this girl."

Mu Rong glanced at her sideways with a doting look.

"Don't you think that this woman has someone else she loves?"

Shui Qing acts coquettishly and flatters.

"I am a humble servant with a dull vision and foolish ideas, and I can't stand on my own feet. How can I compare with you, the lady, who is so thoughtful and far-sighted and can see ahead of time?"

Mu Rong smiled and gently stroked the back of her hand.

"You are a humble and respectful child, and you are lovable."

Shui Qing bowed calmly.

"Thank you for your high praise, madam."

She asked curiously.

"The third lady is plotting something, how is the lady going to fight back?"

Mu Rong frowned in distress.

“There is no solution for now.”

"Alas, this is about Fengzhe, I can't discuss the plan with him. It's really difficult for one person to think alone."

Shuiqing gave suggestions.

"Why don't we go into the palace and ask the Imperial Concubine Yi for advice?"

Mu Rong looked worried.

"It's not easy to deal with Ning Yunxi. I'm afraid that Sister Imperial Concubine is helpless."

"But, there is no other way, I will give it a try."

"Take a shower and change clothes. I will come to the palace to see you immediately."
