Chapter 605 It’s all my fault

Chapter 605 It’s all my fault

The origin of Xiangzhu Garden was once again spread by Mu Rong so that it became known to everyone and even spread throughout the world.

Mu Rong was praising Ning Yunxi for her filial piety. Knowing that her mother loved Xiangzhu, she insisted on changing the name of her residence to Xiangzhu Garden.

She made an excuse to complain, knowing very well that the word "Yuan" was inappropriate, and tried her best to persuade her daughter to change it to Xiangzhu Ju, but she refused. What should she do?

All men in the world who are old enough to understand the ways of flowers and willows can understand Mu Rong's metaphor.

The matter of Hongxing Hutong should not be spread to outsiders, so Ning Fengzhe kept it all to himself. The advantage is that it will undoubtedly protect Xier's reputation; the disadvantage is that there are always people with unknown dangers who want to take advantage of her.

Ning Yunxi was surrounded by thieves in the alleys several times, and he acted frivolously.

Ning Fengzhe always stays alert to protect his sister, and at the same time, uses strategies to quell rumors from all sides.

Mu Rong made too big a fuss about this incident, and Ning Fengzhe was busy dealing with the aftermath, so he was unable to help his sister settle everything in a short period of time.

Mu Rong originally wanted to use a trick to extort money, but in the end, things did not go as she wished, and all the "rich men" died.

She gained nothing from all the planning, so she focused more on strategies to recover her losses.

She first spread all kinds of rumors, pretending that Ning Yunxi was not disciplined; then, she wrote long articles and composed stories, carefully describing the affairs of Miss Ning San in love; finally, she asked someone to paint a picture of her beautiful face and figure, and how she was intoxicated by love.

Ning Fengzhe was in the dark and had many inconveniences in his actions. Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, he tried his best and used all his tricks to finally put an end to this farce.

After a few days, Mu Rong made a fortune. Ning Yunxi could not bear the humiliation and completely collapsed.

The moonlight was cold, she was crying and wailing, her eyes were confused and she was grief-stricken and heartbroken.

Seeing her sitting alone by the lake in the back garden, Ning Fengzhe hurried over, fearing that his sister was in a bad mood.

Hearing the noise in the grass, Ning Yunxi was filled with fear, his whole body became numb, and he curled up on the spot.

"Ah... don't come over here... don't come over here..."

Ning Fengzhe felt heartbroken and his eyes were filled with grief.

"Xi'er, don't be afraid, it's me, big brother."

Ning Yunxi was still frightened and didn't dare to look directly at him.

"Big brother, I'm scared, so please don't get close to me, okay?"

Ning Fengzhe found a stone seat on the spot.

"Okay, okay, I'll sit here."

"Are you scared at a distance of two meters?"

Ning Yunxi calmed down a little.

"Thank you for your understanding, big brother."

Ning Fengzhe forced himself to relax his brows.

"No need to thank me, just be at ease."

Ning Yunxi sobbed endlessly and was speechless.

This was the first time in recent days that Ning Fengzhe had time to have a deep conversation with her.

Thinking back on the absurdity of the past, he sighed helplessly.

"Ugh."

"Why do you have to be so filial and put us in the same room to inform mother?"

"I told you not to tell anyone. The consequences would be serious."

Ning Yunxi stared blankly at the rippling lake.

"Qiu Bi also said that I was too selfless in honoring my parents."

"She said that my fault was that I was obsessed with family affection."

Ning Fengzhe couldn't understand and became impatient.

"She must have advised you a lot, why didn't you listen?"

Ning Yunxi sobbed and poured out her grievances.

"Other people who are filial to their parents are praised by their parents in the near future and praised by others in the distant future. Only I am wrong no matter what I do."

"Brother, I just want to be good to them. Why would it be a mistake?"

"Why is it all my fault?"

Seeing that she was gradually bursting into tears and even twitching slightly, Ning Fengzhe hurried to comfort her.

"Xi'er, be good and don't cry."

"My foolish brother made a mistake. It's not your fault. It's all because they don't know what's good for them. It's their fault."

"You are not wrong to be filial to your parents."

Through the gauze curtain, I could vaguely see Ning Yunxi's heart aching as if it were pierced by arrows.

"Mother, set up a dressing room for me and forced me to undress."

"Then the news spread all over the world, and everyone just said that Miss Ning San liked to change clothes in public, without any scruples."

"At that time, thousands of eyes were watching and saw everything clearly, but why did they ignore my extreme reluctance and countless pleas?"

"My mother forced me to do this, but why would I be the one with such a bad reputation?"

Ning Fengzhe became anxious and worried when he heard this.

"Can't you see that this is the mother's plan?"

"You have all the skills but no way to fight back. Of course you are the one who will be infamous."

Ning Yunxi felt lonely and sad, and tears fell down.

"So, it's still my fault."

"Is it wrong not to fight with Jiaci?"

"Brother, why must I go against my mother? And why must she be hostile to me?"

Ning Fengzhe suppressed his anxiety and comforted her sternly.

"Don't get stuck in humiliation."

"I mean, you should fight back."

"With your planning, dealing with mother is easy."

Ning Yunxi's back was reflected in the night, looking gloomy and frustrated.

"But big brother, if she fights and I fight, won't this family fall apart?"

"A warm family exists in name only. What is the meaning of our living in this world?"

"Why don't you persuade her to give up on me?"

Ning Fengzhe was speechless for a moment.

"I……"

He muttered to himself and complained a few words.

"How do you know? I didn't advise you."

"You are both so stubborn that you cannot be persuaded."

Ning Yunxi's eyes were filled with tears as she looked up at the sparse stars.

"Now, I am covered with wounds, and I see it as pain, but those who see me are enjoying themselves."

"Just enjoy yourself, but they also have to think that I must be enjoying it too."

"I know the pain of losing all my dignity. How can I bear to inflict it on others?"

Ning Fengzhe gazed at Xier's profile, which seemed so delicate and pitiful in the distance.

"If she hadn't experienced the pain, how could she understand and empathize with me? How could she let it go?"

Ning Yunxi disagreed.

"Everyone says that I tricked them into falling for me, and I deserve to be bullied. Rumors can melt gold, so if I fight back, wouldn't I really deserve it?"

After his comfort, her mood gradually improved, and she turned her eyes to look at him with deep affection.

"Big brother, you know that what she did was wrong, so why did you let me learn from her?"

Their eyes met, filled with tenderness and all the anger in Ning Fengzhe disappeared involuntarily.

"If you didn't learn, you would be in this situation now."

"The victim becomes the guilty party; the bullied becomes the one who deserves the blame."

"Even so, you are unwilling to change?"

With him by her side, Ning Yunxi no longer thought about committing suicide by jumping into the lake, and her troubled and sad mood gradually calmed down.

"Whether you are willing or not, we have been together for many years. I know my younger sister well. I cannot do anything cruel."

Ning Fengzhe proposed sincerely.

"Why not, follow me and live in seclusion?"

Ning Yunxi refused without hesitation.

“I can’t live without them.”

She looked into the distance and saw mountains looming in the distance.

"It's useless to ask. Actually, I know the answer."

"There is so much suffering in the world that all living beings feel as if they have fallen into an abyss. They do not know how to recover from the illness, but only think that this is the law of nature."

"Over time, everyone becomes evil."

"When I am able to study medical books and teach medical theories, I will be able to cure all the diseases in the world, and all the evil will be gone."

Ning Fengzhe asked himself in confusion.

"Is it really because of the pain?"
