Chapter 29: After leaving the Zhenguo Mansion, who knows who you are?
This train of thought is incorrigible!
Han Qiongyue was a little angry.
"Zheng'er, do you also think that Ningning shouldn't have poisoned her and should have been beaten to death by Yi'er?"
"You can even treat Lian'er, who has no blood relationship with you, like a pearl."
"Does it mean that Ningning's life is as cheap as grass?"
"She couldn't even fight back after being beaten to death by her brother. Did she deserve it?"
Are you still being unreasonable?!
Faced with Han Qiongyue's questioning, Deng Zheng was speechless for a while.
Anyone who gets hit will fight back.
Deng Youning is indeed innocent.
But, his Yi'er was poisoned!
Isn’t Deng Youning still standing here now?
Apart from the broken arm, there is no problem!
He exchanged glances with Gu.
Seeing the sadness in Gu's eyes, which showed how much she loved her son, a nameless rage rushed to his head.
"Mother, please be fair to Yi'er!"
"My son thinks that this matter should be dropped. Yi'er was certainly wrong, but You Ning shouldn't have been so harsh on his brother."
He didn't believe that Deng Youning had no other way to escape except poisoning.
She was clearly rescued by Li Tianzhuo's people!
Han Qiongyue looked at her good son with shocked eyes.
She raised her hand and slapped Deng Zheng's face mercilessly.
Deng Zheng was caught off guard by the use of internal force and was knocked away.
Gu ran over with a distressed look on her face and helped her husband up.
There was blood on the corner of Deng Zheng's mouth and he stared at Han Qiongyue with bloodshot eyes. He was very unconvinced. He did nothing wrong, so why did his mother hit him?
"Father, I was harmed by the prince. I was poisoned by the cartilage powder. My hands and feet are weak. I can only let him humiliate, beat and scold me."
"He ordered his men to grab my neck, slap me in the face, and throw me hard against the rocks on the mountain."
"There's not a single piece of good flesh on my back. It's all scratched and bruised. Do I need to take off my clothes for you to see?"
Deng Youning's eyes were red and swollen, and she stared at Deng Zheng with stubborn tears in her eyes.
He can do whatever he wants to himself.
But he shouldn't have made his grandmother so angry!
"He broke my hand."
"He even said at the time that he would break my legs and make me kowtow to Deng Xuelian to apologize."
"He keeps saying that I owe Deng Xuelian. May I ask, father and mother, who owes me for the suffering I have endured in the Ten Thousand Snake Valley for the past sixteen years?"
"The reason why I am immune to all poisons is because I have tasted all poisons!"
Deng Zheng and Gu had both seen the cartilage powder that Han Qiongyue brought back, and they both knew that the medicine was only for people who were immune to all poisons.
Deng Youning's words left them stunned and at a loss for a long time.
Yes, You Ning has been back for a month and a half, and they have no idea what her life was like before.
I remember how skinny and sickly she looked when she first came back.
Their hearts really began to ache.
Is her back really covered with injuries?
Fortunately, they found Lian'er on the battlefield that year.
Lian'er was not allowed to be captured by the Wanshe Valley to be tested for poison!
"Deng Zheng, you are such a bastard!"
"On the day of the family recognition banquet, you gave Ningning a chalcedony bracelet that could have been bought with five taels of silver. I thought you were a man and didn't know how to choose, so I didn't argue with you."
"But today, you still can't distinguish right from wrong, and you only care about protecting your son who has done so much evil."
"If you don't want to acknowledge me as your mother, just say so."
Han Qiongyue started the argument today.
The matter of Deng Yi murdering his own sister must be settled today, regardless of whether Deng Yi is here or not!
Seeing Han Qiongyue's tough attitude, Deng Zheng had no choice but to kneel down and admit his mistake.
Gu was with him, speaking nice things to Han Qiongyue.
"Ningning, don't worry. When your brother comes back, I will punish him severely."
Deng Zheng expressed his opinion.
I gave in temporarily because my mother said she wanted to break up with me.
If he really severed the relationship, not only would people in the court scold him for being unfilial, but the Han family would never let him go!
Deng Youning doesn't need such a light punishment.
She is a pragmatic person.
"Father, if you really want to apologize to me on behalf of my brother, why not give me 10,000 taels of silver?"
"I have to pay back Lord Li for the expenses he has incurred over the past few days, right?"
Deng Zheng, Gu:!!!
Ten thousand taels?!
This damn girl wants the entire Duke's Mansion, right?
If they really gave her so much money, I'm afraid Gu's dowry would have to be used to cover their family expenses.
"how?"
"You can't even bear to give me 10,000 taels, and you still consider it an apology?"
Han Qiongyue asked in a cold voice.
She also knew that they didn't have ten thousand taels.
Over the years, although Deng Zheng's salary plus the money he embezzled were not small, most of it was spent on buying jewelry for the two spendthrift women, Gu and Deng Xuelian.
A set of ordinary head ornaments for them would cost at least several hundred taels of silver!
"No, not much..."
Deng Zheng's cold sweat had already flowed to the corners of his eyes.
Gu nudged him with her elbow, signaling him not to agree.
The arrow was on the string, Deng Zheng was pushed too hard and there was nothing he could do.
"Mother, we have already given her one thousand taels, as well as this priceless Mirror Moon Nine Immortal Blood White Jade Bracelet."
"How can she, an unmarried girl, afford so much money?"
Of course, Gu was unwilling to take money out of her pocket.
She asked bluntly without caring whether it would annoy Han Qiongyue again.
"First of all, this bracelet was given to me by Lord Li; secondly, you gave me money because you owed me."
"It's been sixteen years. How much money have you spent on raising Deng Xuelian? Even giving me ten thousand dollars is too much?"
Deng Youning had long since given up any hope for this couple.
But I didn't expect that they were unwilling to even pretend in front of their grandmother.
Could it be that during the two years that my grandmother was alive in my previous life, all my expenses were paid by her alone?
"Master Li gave you the bracelet because of our Duke Zhenguo's reputation, didn't he?"
"After you leave the Zhenguo Mansion, who will know who you are?!"
Gu glared at Deng Youning with annoyance.
This damn girl is so ungrateful.
Since the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion gave her the title of Second Miss, she should be grateful.
How dare she compare herself with her own Lian'er?
Does she deserve it?
Lian'er is kind and gentle, what about her?
He is vicious and prickly, and he won't obey any discipline.
If she were a slave in the mansion, someone like her would have been beaten to death by me long ago!
Gu felt that the fact that she could tolerate Deng Youning for a month and a half was because of her generosity and kindness.
Deng Zheng pulled Gu's sleeve and asked her to stop talking.
In his heart, he was still hoping that Deng Youning would really get together with Li Tianzhuo!
"Ten thousand is ten thousand, it's not like we really can't afford it..."
Deng Zheng desperately winked at Gu.
Without giving Gu a chance to say no, he made the final decision on the matter.
Only then did Han Qiongyue feel satisfied and took Deng Youning away.
Deng Zheng was glared at by Gu.
"Ma'am, let me explain."
Deng Zheng explained his thoughts to Gu.
A smile finally appeared on Gu's face, a calculating smile.
"Are you serious?"
She still had some doubts.
"Li Tianzhuo has never attended a private banquet for officials, but he showed up at Ningning's family recognition banquet and gave her such a valuable bracelet."
"I saved her again at the Fahua Temple this time. How could it be such a coincidence?"
"Maybe he had already noticed You Ning before he returned to Beijing!"
Deng Zheng laughed as he spoke.
His inverted triangle eyes were narrowed together, and his dirty thoughts were written all over his face. Gu was the same.
The eldest daughter married the prince.
Although Li Tianzhuo is not as powerful as the prince, Deng Youning is not worthy of any good person. This one is already the top one.
"That damn girl is so lucky!"
"But what about the marriage with the He family?"
Gu suddenly thought of the Minister of Revenue He Jia.
The He family was about to return to Beijing to provide disaster relief.
"Let's prepare for both situations. After all, with You Ning in this state, what could have gone wrong with Lord Wai Yili?"
Deng Zheng’s wishful thinking really came true!
