Chapter 47: Looking up, you can see the beauty of the garden
Deng Zheng did not respond, and after a moment he said with some grievance:
"Mother, Zheng'er didn't come here for this."
Han Qiongyue: ...
Deng Youning:?
They were all interested and wanted to hear what dirty water the couple wanted to throw on Deng Youning.
"I have had the news of Yi'er poisoning you blocked, but it is still spreading widely in the city."
"Everyone who came to the banquet today knows this!"
He felt that he had lost all face and didn't know how to face the emperor and his colleagues when he went to court tomorrow.
"So you think it was Ning Ning who spread this?"
Han Qiongyue asked back following his words.
Deng Youning frowned.
She doesn't have the time to gossip!
"Who else could it be except her who hates Yi'er?"
Deng Zheng was certain that it was Deng Youning who did it.
"You Ning, please let your brother live!"
"You have to completely destroy him and make the entire Duke's Mansion embarrassed along with you, will you be happy?"
Gu's eyes were red and she asked in a choked voice.
The couple's attitude towards Deng Youning at this time was not hostile, but rather a humble and pitiful one, like a weak person begging the strong to let him go.
The weak and helpless appearance of the two successfully won Han Qiongyue's sympathy.
Deng Youning glanced at her grandmother's troubled expression.
"I, Deng Youning, am upright and honest. If there is anything I haven't done, I haven't done it."
"Anyway, you guys have thrown a lot of dirty water on me. You've determined that I'm a bad person. No matter how much I say, it's useless."
Deng Zheng snorted as if he had expected this.
"What did I say?"
"She'll never admit it!"
The look in his eyes when he looked at Deng Youning was filled with disappointment, as if this man was rotten to the core and beyond cure.
Gu seemed to have lost all his strength in an instant.
She collapsed on the ground and cried out at the top of her lungs towards Deng Youning:
"We didn't intentionally abandon you in Nanxin sixteen years ago. Besides, weren't you rescued by the Ten Thousand Snake Valley? You also learned a lot of skills. What are you not satisfied with?"
"After you return home, we will provide you with food and drink, and give you the title of the second young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Could it be that we have raised you in the wrong way?"
"What about you? How did you repay us?"
"You've caused so much trouble just after returning. What do you want to do next? Want all your parents to die?!"
She spoke the last sentence almost word by word.
The two of them felt extremely aggrieved and felt that their sincerity had been wasted.
Let them do good things.
Deng Youning no longer wanted to argue with these unreasonable and brainless people.
Even if they win the argument, they never think they are wrong.
Han Qiongyue also shook her head in confusion.
Why are they so stupid?
"Pay attention to the wrong words. Ning Ning hasn't spent a penny of your money since she came back. All the money she spent was on my account!"
"Even the yard where she lives is haunted."
"She has a strong yang energy and a healthy body. Since she moved in, ghosts have been afraid and have not caused trouble again. Have you forgotten that this place was a place of great disaster where one person died and two people were killed?"
Han Qiongyue's words really surprised Gu.
There have been too many things going on in the mansion recently, so many that she has no time to take care of Qiuyue Waterside Pavilion.
I almost forgot, that's a haunted house!
Deng Zheng felt a little guilty about letting his own daughter live in a haunted house, and he didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing that her grandmother was very tired, Deng Youning stood in front of the Deng couple and glared down at them.
There seemed to be a knife in her eyes, not a single bit of kindness.
"Grandma and I are both exhausted from killing bears today. If you two continue to cause trouble, I will have to use my own methods to ask you to leave."
The "little pets" that Deng Youning carried with her had already poked their heads out from under her clothes.
The sight of the snake spitting out its tongue made the couple's hair stand on end.
Even so, Deng Zheng still plucked up the courage to glare at Deng Youning.
As the head of the family, his dignity cannot be lost.
"Deng Youning, you better behave yourself!"
"Don't let us catch you!"
He was just speaking harshly to his own daughter.
Han Qiongyue also heard it clearly.
What would happen if Ningning really had some evidence that was caught by the family of four?
Kill her?
Han Qiongyue would never have thought so when Deng Youning just returned home.
But now, she was forced by the Deng family and had to think so!
The dirt is finally gone.
Deng Youning sighed.
Sometimes she also wondered why her fate was like this?
After being alone and helpless for sixteen years, he finally had family, but they turned against him with swords.
She sat cross-legged on the floor wantonly.
She had never behaved so indecently and unruly in front of Old Madam Han.
"Ning Ning..."
Han Qiongyue called her.
"Grandma, if possible, I really don't want to be a rich lady anymore."
A ray of setting sun outside the window shone in front of Deng Youning. Just as she was about to reach out to feel the light, a bird suddenly flew by and blocked the light.
After that, the light shone to a place farther away from Deng Youning.
So that she couldn't reach out and touch it.
"Ningning, get up."
"The ground is cold."
Han Qiongyue called her again.
Deng Youning turned around in surprise.
She thought Han Qiongyue would blame her for being impolite.
Unexpectedly, my grandmother was just worried that the ground was cold.
She smiled self-deprecatingly, like a dejected wild cat.
Han Qiongyue came down from her high position, personally helped her up, and took her to the place where the setting sun was now shining.
That's the window.
She pushed open the window, and Deng Youning looked up and saw the garden full of beauty.
*
The green shade is spreading slowly, and the early summer is coming slowly.
Throughout the month of May, there were countless banquets in various prefectures in the capital.
Deng Xuelian almost always attends these banquets. This is her only chance to do something with Jun Wenci.
Deng Zheng also participated in several.
Most of the places he visited were those where there were daughters of similar age to Deng Yi.
Deng Yi is half disabled now, so it is definitely impossible for him to be a good match for her.
Even some small families who dote on their daughters are unwilling to let their daughters serve a disabled person.
Deng Yi’s marriage is now the biggest headache for the Deng couple.
Gu was confined to her home for a month by Han Qiongyue and was not allowed to leave the house before the time was up.
She couldn't help with her son's marriage and was worried.
But she never forgot the joy of love she had with him.
Yinhuan reported that Gu changed clothes with her maid, and on the fifteenth day, she left the house in disguise while Madam Han went to the Fahua Temple.
They also found out that since marrying into the Deng family, Gu has been meeting the groom in secret on the 15th of every month, rain or shine.
All in all, it has been nearly eighteen years.
Deng Youning actually had some doubts as to whether her and Deng Yi’s biological father might be someone else.
Today, she got some clues to verify this suspicion.
Just after breakfast, Ying Shi gave Deng Youning a letter.
"The messenger was masked and did not leave his name."
"But I smelled a strong medicinal scent on him, but he doesn't look like a sick person."
Deng Youning decided to open the letter with some hesitation.
"Niujia Village, midwife, Niu Cuiqin."
The tip of the brush is soft yet firm, and as smooth as jade.
Although he didn't know who wrote it, Deng Youning guessed that the person must be a handsome and elegant man.
First eliminate Li Tianzhuo!
Deng Youning handed the letter to Ying Shi.
"Do you know this person?"
Sakura shook her head helplessly.
"Niujiazhuang is just outside Beijing, and it only takes half a day to get there by horse."
"Midwife..."
"Could it be the midwife that our Duke's Mansion usually uses?"
