Chapter 602 Welcoming Mother

Chapter 602 Welcoming Mother

The Mu Yan sisters discussed for a long time, and even after they finished lunch together, they still couldn't come up with a feasible solution.

However, on the way back home from the palace, Mu Rong suddenly had an idea and came up with a brilliant plan that could put an end to Ning Yunxi's wishful thinking and earn a large sum of money without any effort.

After returning home, she immediately took action and hired workers to build a changing room on the side of the main gate of Ning Mansion.

Then, she walked slowly towards Xiangzhu Garden, just as if she was taking a walk after dinner.

Before Mu Rong arrived, her maid rode at top speed and rushed to Xiangzhu Garden first, informing Ning Yunxi: "The eldest lady has ordered a message to be passed on. We will be at Xiangzhu Garden within half an hour. Please welcome us respectfully, Third Miss."

Ning Yunxi had just woken up from a nap and was getting dressed. When she heard this, she was stunned.

"Half an hour? So fast?"

The maid finished her report and left.

Qiu Bi stood respectfully to one side, straightening her master's clothes and complaining indignantly.

"Before, when you bought the Ning Mansion, the Madam and her friends slandered you, saying that you were unwilling to hand over the mansion and register your name with the Duke. In order to appease the Madam, you agreed to her unreasonable request. Whenever the Madam came to Xiangzhu Garden, you would personally greet her respectfully, bathe and change clothes, and be respectful and pious."

"The Madam clearly said that every time I come here, I must report at least one hour in advance. She broke her promise last time, and this time she even went further."

"It takes less than half an hour to shower, change clothes and wait for you. How can you handle it?"

"Madam, you are going too far!"

Ning Yunxi stopped dressing, took Qiu Bi's hands and helped her to sit down.

"Don't be angry."

"I think my mother has something urgent to do."

Qiu Bi also supported the girl and sat down with her.

"What could be her emergency?"

"Could it be that he treated the girl coldly earlier and now realizes his mistake, so he came here to apologize?"

Ning Yunxi strongly agreed.

"It makes sense."

Qiu Bi became more and more angry.

"This servant is just sarcasm, how can you take it seriously, young lady?"

"How could she know she was wrong?"

"If you know you're wrong, you should skip the bathing and changing clothes first."

Ning Yunxi responded optimistically and patiently comforted Qiu Bi.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry."

"My mother is busy with household affairs and is sometimes careless and forgets to pass on the message. I can understand that."

Qiu Bi was so angry that she stamped her feet, ignored etiquette and hierarchy, and shouted and condemned loudly.

"Is this carelessness? Obviously it's intentional!"

"Only subjects entering the palace need to show such respect; for children from ordinary families, waiting in the courtyard in advance to welcome their mothers is considered a great courtesy. Which family is like her, where a daughter would bathe and change clothes in advance to welcome her mother?"

Ning Yunxi smiled helplessly.

"Isn't mother aware of her mistakes? I believe she will change for the better."

"Time is running out, so stop complaining."

She raised her voice and gave instructions to the servants outside.

"Hot water takes too much effort, prepare a cold shower."

When Qiu Bi heard this, she became worried and angry.

"It's still cold now, how can a girl take a cold bath?"

Ning Yunxi spoke in a gentle and polite manner, smiling and saying coaxing words.

"It's too late. This is the only way."

"Just bear with it. Don't worry, I'm not that squeamish."

Qiu Bi was extremely worried and shouted at the top of her lungs.

"girl!"

Hearing her breathing getting heavier, Ning Yunxi gently stroked her chest and soothed her breathing.

"Oh, it's just a small matter, just be patient..."

The servant fetched water from the well and quickly prepared a cold water bath.

Ning Yunxi dismissed the people around him, leaving only Qiu Bi, and began to bathe as quickly as possible.

It was originally said that it would arrive within half an hour, but in the end, there was a knock on the door within two cups of tea.

At this time, Ning Yunxi had just finished taking a shower and was still wiping her body when she heard a knock on the door and was startled.

"Oh no! My mother has arrived before I can even greet her. I will go and greet her."

Qiu Bi hurriedly raised her arms to stop him and made an earnest suggestion.

"You are so wet and wrapped in a towel, how can you meet people? Let me open the door."

Ning Yunxi was flustered and refused without thinking for a moment.

"Mother has already told me that I must personally welcome you and not let anyone else. I'm late for the reception. If I let you open the door again, she will be angry."

Qiu Bi made an excuse to stop the girl.

"Or someone else. Miss, wait a moment. I will go and take a look first."

Ning Yunxi was extremely anxious.

"Alas, mother cannot wait any longer, please stop stopping her."

Ning Yunxi trotted quickly and opened the door; Qiu Bi, worried, followed closely behind.

Before they could even salute, they saw Ning Fengzhe standing before them.

Ning Yunxi and Qiu Bi exclaimed in unison.

"what!"

Ning Yunxi hugged herself to cover her private parts.

Qiu Bi ignored her own body, took off her coat and quickly put it on the girl.

The fireflies in his mind suddenly burst into flames. Ning Fengzhe turned sideways and closed his eyes to avoid suspicion.

"Don't be alarmed, Xi'er. I...I didn't see anything."

Ning Yunxi gently pushed Qiu Bi, indicating that she should go inside and get dressed, and not harm her chastity for her.

"Big brother, what are you doing here?"

Ning Fengzhe closed his eyes, looking slightly embarrassed.

"I woke up after catching up on my sleep and found out that you sent someone to bring me a robe. I've put it on and wanted you to take a look to see if it fits me. If you're not satisfied with it, you can change it in time."

Ning Yunxi responded succinctly.

"I have to welcome my mother, so I may not have time to change my clothes for the time being."

Ning Fengzhe did not stay long.

"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll take my leave."

Ning Yunxi nodded slightly.

"Take care, big brother."

Qiu Bi had no intention of thinking about herself, so she went back to the inner room, fetched the girl's cloak, and carefully put it on her.

"Farewell, young master."

Ning Yunxi immediately closed the door, took off Qiu Bi's coat, and helped her put it on.

From a distance, Mu Rong happened to see this scene, and the resentment in her heart grew stronger.

Haha, this is how she usually welcomes her brother, so refreshing.

No wonder Fengzhe's plans were so hypocritical and vague, mixed with some sincerity. It turned out that he had been deceived by her for a long time.

Ning Yunxi, born with a restless character, deserves the name of "Xiangzhuyuan".

Although I had a good idea, I was still hesitant along the way, thinking that as we were both women, it didn't seem right to treat her like this.

Now it seems that there is no need to hesitate.

She has her own interesting ideas and has repeatedly provoked me, so don't blame me for being ruthless.

I have devised this plan to deal with people like her. Who knows, she may not be harmed by it, but enjoy it. Why should I be so kind and merciless?

After thinking about it, she walked towards Xiangzhu Garden with quick steps.

Ning Yunxi quickly put on her clothes and ran to the courtyard gate. Seeing her mother's hurried steps, she also quickened her pace.

"I am Ning Yunxi, respectfully wishing my mother good health."

After the ceremony, a sudden cold wind blew and she couldn't bear it anymore, so she sneezed.

"My child has lost his temper. I beg mother to forgive me."

Mu Rong put on a fake smile and leaned over to support him.

"What are you talking about, Xi'er? Please get up quickly."

"I think you took a bath too hastily and caught a cold. From now on, there is no need for a pious welcome. All the etiquette will continue as usual."

"Early on, my mother and I had a lot of arguments, and my mother felt really bad about it."

Ning Yunxi felt sweet in her heart after hearing these words.

"Mother's words are serious, but I don't mind."

Mu Rong went straight to the point.

"Look at you, you're wearing so little, how can you do that?"

"I've asked a worker to build a dressing room just for you. Please take a look and try it out."

"Without further delay, we'll be there."

Ning Yunxi felt something was wrong and was stunned.

"what?"

In desperation, she had to quietly leave Penglai Xingyu on the stone seat at the gate, hoping that someone would understand her cry for help.
