Chapter 603 Dressing Room
Mu Rong didn't give Ning Yunxi any explanation and dragged her into the carriage to the main gate of the Ning Mansion.
After getting off the carriage, the so-called dressing room suddenly appeared before Ning Yunxi's eyes, magnificent and shocking.
There were only four wooden pillars supporting a simple ceiling, with gauze curtains hanging around it. The ceiling was already vague, and when the breeze blew, it was even more clearly visible.
In front of one of the wooden pillars, there was a wooden sign with the three words "Xiang Zhu Yuan" written in a sloppy manner, which turned it into a changing room.
Not far away, many passers-by have stopped to watch, their eyes full of wonder.
Ning Yunxi was horrified, her chin was trembling with fear, and she froze in place, not daring to move at all.
Mu Rong couldn't push her, so she had to urge her.
"Xi'er, why are you standing there? Don't you want to change your clothes?"
"All kinds of clothes are ready. Please come in and choose. Don't be polite."
"Come on, mother will help you undress."
Ning Yunxi held onto one end of the carriage tightly, refusing to let go.
"Mother, no...I don't want to change clothes here."
Mu Rong smiled to outsiders and seemed considerate.
"How can you let your mother down?"
With her back to the outsiders and facing Ning Yunxi, her expression suddenly darkened.
"You know the consequences of betraying someone."
Ning Yunxi grabbed one end of the carriage with all her might, as if she were grabbing a life-saving straw, bent her knees, and knelt heavily.
"Mother, I beg you, please let me go. I really can't change clothes here!"
Mu Rong spoke without restraint and was extremely sarcastic.
"Do you think that anyone would want to see you? You are so conceited and complacent. It's simply ridiculous."
"You have an ordinary figure and a plain appearance. Who would be willing to stop and take a look?"
Ning Yunxi couldn't hear a word, she just trembled and kept shaking her head.
"No...no..."
Mu Rong leaned down, trying to be level with her, turned sideways to face the outsider, and immediately smiled again.
"You should feel happy when your mother helps you change your clothes. How can you have any objection? Let's go, Xi'er."
Ning Yunxi begged non-stop, crying bitterly and coughing due to a cold.
"Mother, cough, cough, please don't, I beg you..."
Mu Rong grabbed her wrist and forced her to lie down.
"Xi'er, be obedient and don't do anything that disgusts me."
She smiled calmly, but there was a hint of viciousness in her eyes.
"If you don't want to, fine."
"I just don't know if Qiubi is willing to accept my kindness?"
Ning Yunxi shook his head suddenly and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Qiu Bi is not good enough, please show mercy, mother..."
Mu Rong stopped her movements and continued to speak in a low voice without reducing her threat.
"If you cooperate, such a good thing will certainly not be her turn."
Ning Yunxi cried bitterly.
"Child, cooperate."
Mu Rong smiled with satisfaction, helped her up, and with a kind look, pointed out the reality to her.
"Don't pretend to be so weak and wronged. I am the mother and you are the daughter. I am naturally in the right. No matter how pitiful you act, others will only say that there is no parent who doesn't love their children. I am doing this for your own good."
"It's better to enjoy yourself with a smile. At least, others can praise you for being filial."
Ning Yunxi pulled the corners of her mouth apart, unable to hold a smile, and only tears flowed like a fountain.
"My child obeys."
She loosened her hand little by little, and it left the end of the carriage. She followed her mother into the dressing room in a daze.
There was a square table in the room, with three dresses neatly stacked on it. Mu Rong casually unfolded one and showed it to Ning Yunxi.
"Xi'er, take a look, do you like this one?"
Then, she unfolded the other two pieces, both of which were made of thin gauze and could barely cover her body.
Ning Yunxi was speechless.
Mu Rong was busy with her own selection and was happy.
"How about this one?"
Ning Yunxi looked expressionless and nodded slightly to show her agreement.
Mu Rong was enjoying herself, and quickly untied the belt around Ning Yunxi's waist and helped her undress.
A hint of coolness suddenly hit Ning Yunxi's arms, and she subconsciously tightened her clothes, showing a defensive state.
When Mu Rong saw this, her face turned cold instantly.
"Ning Yunxi, I specially set up this room to treat you so well. You should know how to be tactful."
"Don't you want maternal love? Isn't your mother taking good care of you?"
"Qiu Bi also hopes for kindness and love. If you don't like it, why don't I cherish her?"
Ning Yunxi followed instructions and took off her coat and skirt.
Passersby were talking about it, and her almond-shaped eyes were fixed, she wept silently, and her whole body was shaking more and more violently.
Mu Rong asked playfully, knowing the answer anyway.
"Why don't you take off your shirt and pants?"
With everyone's eyes on him, Ning Yunxi did not dare to glance at them, trying her best to ignore them, and her dignity became even more eroded.
She burst into tears, grabbed the belt of her shirt, and begged with sobs.
"I beg you to have mercy on me, mother. I really can't take it off anymore."
"Is mother still misunderstanding what happened last night?"
"I didn't lie to you, why don't you believe me?"
Mu Rong grabbed the tie of her shirt and tried to tear it off.
"What do you mean by believe or not believe? I don't understand what you are saying."
"Just relax, no one is watching you."
"If you are not some important person in Shengjing, who would bother to pay attention to you?"
Ning Yunxi tried her best to protect the last bit of her dignity.
"Mother, I really can't..."
When Mu Rong was about to succeed, Shui Qing came running over and reported in a low voice.
"Madam, the second young master is returning home from going out and will soon pass through the main gate."
Mu Rong's face was calm, but her heart was shocked.
"What? I don't usually see him go out, but it's such a coincidence that he goes out today."
She glanced at Ning Yunxi and handed her a gauze skirt.
"Lucky for you, you don't have to take off your shirt and pants."
"You like this dress, don't you? Put it on."
Ning Yunxi was really unwilling, and was too weak to reach out to take it, and did not respond for a long time.
Fearing that her youngest son might witness this, Mu Rong quickly gave instructions to Shui Qing.
"Hurry, help the third lady put it on."
Shui Qing responded.
"Yes."
Ning Yunxi subconsciously took a half step back, then thought about Qiu Bi's safety, and then stood still, allowing herself to be manipulated, and put on the gauze skirt.
Mu Rong continued to plot and indicated the direction of the carriage.
"Let's go, follow me."
Ning Yunxi had no choice but to obey her mother's order, and they took a carriage to the North City together.
Beishi was not far from Ningfu, and the carriage had arrived there without any bumps.
Mu Rong concealed her whereabouts and left Ning Yunxi in an alley.
"Xi'er got lost accidentally. I will go back to the mansion and gather all the servants to look for you in the streets."
"This time, you can't say that she has been missing for many days. As a mother, I didn't even know my daughter had left the house."
Ning Yunxi felt something strange around her and her throat tightened, and she almost couldn't breathe.
She grabbed her mother's sleeve tightly and suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Mother, don't go."
"Tell me what I did wrong and I will change. Please, don't do this to me."
Mu Rong flicked her sleeves and left without a look.
Mu Rongfang left, and several people hiding nearby appeared one after another, blocking Ning Yunxi's way from front to back, left to right.
"Miss Ning San, are you also invited to come here to enjoy yourself?"
"It's still cold, how can you wear so little? Why don't you come into my arms and I'll warm you up."
These people were all hired by Mu Rong.
In addition, she also designated a group of people to secretly spread the news: Miss Ning San was in Hongxing Hutong, Beishi City, being bullied.
For a time, Hongxing Hutong was crowded with people, and men from Shengjing aristocrats and common people came in droves.
Ning Yunxi's self-defense items, silver needle bag, etc. were all in her original outer clothes and had long been taken away by Mu Rong.
In a difficult situation, there is no way to go up to heaven and no door to enter the earth.
