Chapter 867 Delivering Medicine
Leng Man took a few steps forward, feeling clear in her conscience, and stared at the master.
"Master, don't be deceived by her."
"Just now, she was showing off her power and intimidating the maids. She was completely different from her usual behavior."
"Just look at the maids kneeling, and you will know that what I say is the truth."
Ning Jiewei was reasonable and gave an explanation.
"They bullied me and were afraid that the master would blame them, so when they heard the master's footsteps, they were terrified and knelt down in a hurry."
She felt wronged and spoke while sobbing.
"They do so many evil things, yet they still pretend to be pitiful. I have never seen people as hypocritical as them."
"Or maybe, what kind of master you are, what kind of servant you will teach."
"Master, you don't know. My sister hit me."
Leng Man was taken aback by the unexpected.
"When did I..."
Xu Mingqian looked worriedly as he looked up and down.
"Where did you get hit? Does it hurt?"
Ning Jiewei is delicate, which makes her look even more charming.
"Both sides of my face were slapped. Look, they are red and swollen. It hurts."
Leng Man couldn't stand it anymore and angrily exposed it.
"How can Sister Ning make a false accusation? That's your rouge."
Xu Mingqian hardened his heart, applied a little force, and slapped his wife twice on the face.
"Rouge, is that so? I'll dress you up too!"
Leng Man lost her balance and fell to the ground.
"Ah! Ah!"
Xu Mingqian pointed his spear and roared.
"I warned you that Wei'er is my beloved woman and you are not allowed to touch her. Did you ignore my words?"
Leng Man covered her face and trembled in pain.
"When did you ever say anything like that?"
Xu Mingqian felt guilty and let out some of his anger.
"I must have said it, but Madam didn't pay attention and didn't listen carefully."
"Weier respects her superiors and loves her subordinates. She has always been courteous and polite to you. Everyone in the mansion has seen it. You say, who would believe her if she threatened the maid?"
He was sarcastic and mocking.
"Madam, what do you think your status is? If you are not a wife, then at least a guest, right?"
"Ha, that's ridiculous."
"What kind of guest is a person who stays in someone else's house and refuses to leave?"
Leng Man was angry and upset.
"you you……"
Xu Mingqian was arrogant and looked down on him.
"What am I saying? Isn't it the truth?"
"Madam, you must recognize your own position before you can abide by the rules."
"Now, it is Wei'er and I who support you and your son. Without Wei'er, you wouldn't even have the title of a lady of honor. It's fine if you're not grateful, but why are you so angry? It's totally inexplicable."
Every word pierced Leng Man's heart and made her cry like rain.
"Master, after all, we have lived together for more than 20 years. Even if we don't have the affection between husband and wife, there must be a little affection between us, right?"
"How can you be so cold and indifferent?"
"What you saw was all fake. I am worried that you might be deceived by her, so I gave her some frank advice. Although my words may not sound good, they are good advice."
Xu Mingqian looked indifferent and unmoved.
"I am happy to be deceived by her. Is it your turn to meddle in other people's business?"
"Madam attempted to remove Wei'er's belongings and broke her favorite vase. She deserves to be punished."
"Come here, go to Zhuxianju and move out all the things that are regulated for the wife and replace them with those for the concubine."
Leng Man was furious.
"Xu Mingqian, you..."
Xu Mingqian didn't want to hear another word and threatened and warned him.
"If you make a mistake again, Madam, you will be punished according to the rules of the same room."
"Don't say that I have treated you harshly; you deserve the punishment."
"Someone, throw her out. Stop getting in the way here."
The servant obeyed the order.
Leng Man was frightened.
"Master, you can't treat me like this, I'm innocent..."
The maids then left.
Ning Jiewei watched him go, then turned around and questioned him.
"Why did the master really hit me?"
"That's my stepmother, and also your stepmother. How dare you act rashly?"
Xu Mingqian was stunned.
"what?"
"I thought your wink meant that I should really hit you."
Ning Jiewei smiled helplessly.
"Just push it gently and it will be fine."
"How can I explain to my foster father if I hurt her?"
Xu Mingqian panicked and walked towards the medicine box.
"I'll go get her some medicine right away."
Ning Jiewei held him back.
"You just did it, and then you give her a sweet date. She's soft-hearted and chooses to forgive you. What should I do?"
"I'll go."
Xu Mingqian was worried.
"You just finished arguing and went to deliver medicine. She will definitely not appreciate your kindness and think you are a hypocrite."
"She can't say anything, she's sarcastic about you."
Ning Jiewei followed his advice and changed her mind.
"I'll ask the eldest girl to deliver the medicine for me."
Xu Mingqian put his arm around his wife’s shoulders.
"I'll go to Xiaouju with you."
Ning Jiewei stroked him and sat on the couch.
"I'll go by myself."
"Master, please take a rest. Later, you must give me the plaque in front of everyone to show the love between husband and wife."
Xu Mingqian looked at him and smiled, feeling warm and cozy.
"Okay, it's up to you."
In summer, the lotus roots are lush, the willows are swaying, the orioles are charming, and the grass and trees are flourishing, all of which are a source of entertainment.
Upon hearing the report, Xu Yingyuan went out to greet him.
"I wish you the best of luck, Aunt Ning."
For the first time in her life, she performed the blessing ceremony for her concubine and stepmother. She smiled bitterly in her heart, feeling it was totally unbelievable.
Ning Jiewei smiled gently.
"Flat body."
Xu Yingyuan is humble and polite.
"Aunt Ning, please come in."
After entering and sitting down, Ning Jiewei took the initiative to state her purpose.
"I brought some medicine for my wounds. Please help me pass it to my wife, Yuan'er."
Xu Yingyuan's heart was shocked.
"Mother is injured?"
Ning Jiewei agreed.
"Ah."
Xu Yingyuan refused coldly.
"Thank you for your concern, Aunt Ning. I will ask the doctor in the mansion to examine my mother."
Ning Jiewei briefly explained the situation.
"My sister has lost face. I'm afraid she doesn't want to ask any doctor to see her, for fear of gossip."
"The injury is not serious. Yuan'er, just apply some medicine on her."
Xu Yingyuan asked a question.
"Lost face?"
She roughly guessed what happened and smiled coldly.
"Oh, Aunt Ning, good trick."
Ning Jiewei raised her eyebrows.
"I am naturally smarter than you and your daughter."
Xu Yingyuan looked.
"Aunt Ning is not modest."
Ning Jiewei hit back.
"Aren't you in a hurry to deliver medicine to heal your mother? Why are you in the mood to show off your eloquence?"
"Mrs. Yuan, you are so filial."
Xu Yingyuan's words make sense.
“When respecting and caring for children, there are two types: strict and gentle. When children respect and care for their parents, the same is true.”
"I treated her harshly, not because I was unfilial, but because I wanted her to remember the lesson and learn to improve herself."
Ning Jiewei smiled awkwardly.
"This is the first time I've heard such nonsense. It's very strange."
Xu Yingyuan looked contemptuous.
"Mrs. Ning is just ignorant."
Ning Jiewei asked tentatively.
"It seems that you want to help Madam and teach me a lesson?"
Xu Yingyuan answered ambiguously.
"Auntie, I dare not be presumptuous."
Ning Jiewei was playing with the silk in her hands nonchalantly.
"Don't forget, who do you rely on now? If Third Sister knew that I was wronged, she would never forgive you."
Xu Yingyuan teased.
"My heart belongs to Prince Di Jin. What does it have to do with your sister?"
"Madam Ning, do you think Princess Yuexi is planning to change the country?"
Ning Jiewei glanced at her.
"Third sister's ambitions cannot be discussed by an incompetent person like you."
"I've put the medicine here. Use it, or get another medicine. It's up to you, Yuan'er."
Seeing her leave her seat, Xu Yingyuan bowed.
"Farewell, Aunt Ning."
Xu Yingyuan walked a few steps to the main seat, picked up the medicine bottle, lowered her eyes to look at it, and suddenly had an idea.
My father is loyal and responsible and is not easy to persuade.
With him around, it was hard for his mother to change her mind, and it was also hard for her to change her feelings after spending all day as a subject to the emperor.
Since Ning Jiewei intends to squeeze me, why don't I take advantage of her and force my mother to leave decisively, take her son with her, and remarry someone from my side, so that she will naturally fall in love with someone else?
There are so many of us, but who is worthy of entrusting your life to?
