Chapter 873 Aiming at 4 Directions
Xu Shuobo was surprised, and his anger disappeared.
"Ah I……"
He pondered the memory.
"At that time, there were indeed two women where my eldest sister pointed. They were both sitting alone drinking tea, seemingly waiting for someone."
"But, how could I be wrong?"
"My eldest sister said that the woman was extremely beautiful, a beauty that could not be surpassed in beauty."
"Of those two, which one is outstanding and which one is mediocre is obvious at a glance."
"Madam Ning, you are naturally charming and a beautiful woman. You are so beautiful that you don't seem to be a woman from this world."
"The other one, I didn't take a close look, I just know she's plain looking, how can she look like a concubine? She's not even as good looking as you two, looking at her makes me want to vomit."
Hearing these absurd and ridiculous words, Leng Man became extremely furious.
"Who are you referring to? You want to vomit?!"
"Do you have the right to comment on the appearance of my mother and sister?"
"How dare you, a rebellious son, be so disrespectful and offend your superiors?"
She picked up a wooden paperweight and dropped it heavily on her son, again and again.
"What a beautiful girl! What a gorgeous beauty!"
"I sent you to study, but you didn't remember any of the principles. I finally remembered a few nice words, but you used them all to praise Ning Jiewei!"
"How could I give birth to such a filial child like you, who ignores his own mother and only flirts with his father's concubine!"
"You were born with a pair of fine eyes, but you can't tell the difference between beauty and ugliness, and you mistakenly take an ugly, evil woman as a treasure. You, you, you make me so angry!"
Xu Shuobo screamed in pain and ran around the room.
"Oh, mother, please don't hit me. It hurts. Please don't hit me. I know I am wrong..."
Leng Man chased and beat him for a while, and was so tired that she was out of breath. She had no choice but to stop, still muttering to herself.
"You...you make me so angry..."
Xu Yingyuan pretended to stop her mother and try to reconcile the mother and son.
"Mother, please stop. Mother, please calm down. My second brother didn't mean to be sarcastic. He didn't mean to..."
Finally, the mother and her two children were all exhausted, so they sat down, drank tea and rested.
Leng Man recovered and began to preach.
"Yuan'er and I have taught you so many times. A man should have ambitions and should not be greedy for beauty."
"You should understand the right principles. Regardless of whether you have a wife, concubine, or maid, your moral behavior should come first, and you should not care about their appearance."
"You are about to turn twenty. What is the most important thing right now? How many times do I need to emphasize your true identity? If you are lucky enough to inherit the throne, how can you be worthy of the people with your character?"
"Your sister introduced you to that concubine for your own good, do you understand? When she said 'a beautiful and charming woman', she was referring to a woman's virtue. How can you be so obsessed with her looks?"
"How can your vision be so short-sighted?"
Xu Shuobo thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood, and immediately exposed the truth.
"Why is my elder sister doing this for my own good?"
"Mother has never heard it with her own ears, but your precious daughter said that the woman hated mama's boy and taught me to distance myself from mother and get closer to the woman I love."
"My eldest sister must be plotting against our family and using me, and she's pretending to be a good person."
Xu Yingyuan concealed her guilty conscience and remained silent.
Leng Man trusted her daughter without any doubt.
"nonsense."
"You have been bewitched by Ning Jiewei and came here on purpose to drive a wedge between us, mother and daughter, right?"
Xu Shuobo emphasized his tone.
"Every word my son said is true. My elder sister was really rude."
Leng Man was so angry that she pleaded for her beloved daughter.
"Don't you understand people?"
"Yuan'er is telling you that the woman has this flaw. You can use it to please her when necessary; you can also discipline her appropriately so that she understands filial piety and turns over a new leaf."
"Even if she was plotting against my family, Yuan'er was helping me. What are you thinking? How could she possibly help Ning Jiewei's prestige?"
"Do you think she would be like you, obsessed with lust and look favorably upon Ning Jiewei?"
Xu Yingyuan nodded repeatedly to show her agreement.
Xu Shuobo had a sullen face and looked unhappy.
"I don't know why she helped Aunt Ning, but she did."
Leng Man reproached in a deep voice.
"Stop being so unreasonable and bullying your sister. If you have time, why not help me deal with Ning Jiewei and restore my dignity."
Xu Shuobo declined.
"Didn't mother say that a man should have ambitions to travel far and wide? I will remember this."
"I have no intention of fighting over the house. Have fun by yourselves. Don't bring me along."
Leng Man was filled with anger and blamed others.
"Speaking of dealing with Ning Jiewei, do you suddenly understand that a man should have great ambitions?"
"how?"
"The principles I taught you, the right and wrong, are only decided for Ning Jiewei?"
"I am so unlucky to have given birth to a son like you who is so disappointing..."
After listening to his mother's nagging, Xu Shuobo took his leave and walked out of Zhuxianju.
Not far away, a beauty was sitting on a stone bench.
The petals fell in the wind; she held her chin with her bare hands. The painting of a beautiful woman is so beautiful that it is beyond words and incomparable.
Xu Shuobo straightened his clothes and stepped forward to salute.
"I am Xu Shuobo, respectfully wishing Aunt Ning good health."
Ning Jiewei saw this and reached out to help quickly.
"Don't kneel, don't kneel, get up quickly."
As they stood up, their eyes met.
Behind her, petals fell, setting off Ning Jiewei's charming face and delicate figure, making her even more elegant and beautiful.
"I was passing by and vaguely heard your cry, so I stopped and waited for you to come out and asked you if you were injured."
Xu Shuobo smiled sweetly without realizing it.
"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I'm fine."
Ning Jiewei spoke in a soft and caring voice.
"How can you be alright if you're screaming like that? Let me see where you're hurt."
Xu Shuobo is shy.
"It's really okay."
Ning Jiewei is charming and just right.
"Please, let me see."
"Bo'er, I'm really worried about you."
A wisp of cloud covered Xu Shuobo's cheek.
"Auntie, your words are too serious."
"Most of the injuries are inconvenient, only my right wrist can be barely taken care of by Auntie."
He turned up his sleeves slightly.
"The wound is ugly and unbearable to look at. Please don't be offended, Auntie."
Just one look and Ning Jiewei burst into tears.
"You are so badly injured. Who hit you?"
Xu Shuobo was stunned.
"Auntie, why are you crying?"
Ning Jiewei looked into his eyes with deep emotion.
"Silly Bo'er, I just feel sorry for you and can't help crying."
"Come back with me and I'll apply medicine on you, okay?"
The mother is domineering and unreasonable, the eldest sister is insidious and cunning, and the aunt is considerate and caring. In comparison, Xu Shuobo knows who is the fake relative and who is the real family member.
He was deeply moved, with tears in his eyes.
"I told you, the wound is very inconvenient."
"I'll tell the servants to apply the medicine. Thank you for your kindness, Auntie. I appreciate it."
Ning Jiewei insisted.
"No, I have to apply medicine on you."
"We just met and you got beaten. It must be me who caused you to suffer."
"Bo'er, I feel bad."
"At worst, I'll cover your eyes and apply medicine to you. Please, don't refuse me."
The beauty's tears made people feel happy and intoxicated, but also sad and heartbreaking. Xu Shuobo was in a trance and lost his soul again.
"Okay, Auntie, please go first."
Xu Yingyuan followed her second brother out of Zhuxianju, and caught sight of Ning Jiewei and others outside, and immediately notified her mother.
Witnessing the two meeting and behaving intimately, Leng Man wanted to rush over and drive Ning Jiewei away.
Xu Yingyuan stopped her and tried to persuade her.
"Mother is furious, which is exactly what Aunt Suining wants. Don't let her laugh at you."
Just like that, Leng Man stood in the yard, gritted her teeth and watched everything, trembling with anger.
"I just taught him that a man should have ambitions and should not be greedy for beauty."
"He said he would remember it, and then he forgot it the moment he turned around?!"
Xu Yingyuan asked weakly.
"I never thought the situation would turn out like this. Yesterday, we agreed to ask Aunt Ning to teach us. According to mother's advice, should we still implement it?"
Leng Man was furious.
"What else are you going to do? Send Bo'er into the tiger's mouth with your own hands?"
"Ning Jiewei, how dare you snatch my son away? I will never stand with you!"
Xu Yingyuan smiled secretly.
The plan of teaching on behalf of others was originally a backup plan in case the plan didn't go well.
Unexpectedly, Ning Jiewei cooperated with the plan and it went so smoothly.
Haha, God helps me.
