In the evening, Gu Jinguo returned home and told Leng Ningxiang about the follow-up of the poisoning incident.
The person who poisoned the house was a servant of the Ji family and also the wife of the former owner of Zui Xiang Lou. The owner of Zui Xiang Lou embezzled money in order to pay back his gambling debts. Now he was fired and was asked to pay back the embezzled money. He went to the casino to try his luck again, but ended up losing everything. Even selling his daughter was not enough to pay back the debt. Seeing that the debt was due, he committed suicide.
The shopkeeper's wife lost her daughter and husband overnight, and she bore a grudge against the Ji family. She bought arsenic and put it in a water tank.
"God, this man is too cruel. It's all the shopkeeper's fault. He killed me and my daughter. What does this have to do with Madam Ji? As the head of the household, Madam Ji naturally won't tolerate corrupt servants."
How despicable that she didn't know what was good for her and even harmed the entire Ji family!"
"How did Madam Ji deal with the shopkeeper's wife?" Wang Yanran asked.
Gu Jinguo scratched his head. Mrs. Ji was afraid that Yu'er would be scared when she saw him, so she let him take her out to play. He didn't know how the shopkeeper's wife dealt with it.
The next day, news broke that a servant had poisoned the Ji Mansion.
The shopkeeper's wife was taken away by the police, and the county magistrate sentenced her to be executed after the autumn.
Leng Ningxiang came over the next afternoon. She still looked a little tired, but in good spirits.
The servants behind her brought many gifts, which were piled up in the main room, making the large room crowded.
"Sister, you saved our family. These gifts are not enough to express my gratitude, but please accept them. Otherwise, I will be uneasy."
Last time, the mother and son of the Gu family saved her life, and this time they saved their entire family. No amount of gifts could repay the person who saved her life.
"Sister, you are too kind. It was just a coincidence. You don't have to be like this."
Wang Yanran is not the type to take advantage of others, and she is already very grateful that Leng Ningxiang allowed Gu Jinguo to accompany the young master to study. How could she have the nerve to ask for so many gifts?
"It's not an honor, not at all. Sister, you saved our family's lives. I've thought about it over and over again, and no amount of gifts can express our family's gratitude.
I'm so shameless, I want to become a sister with a different surname from you. I wonder if you're willing?"
She is the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion and married into the Ji family, the first of the four major families, so she has a high status.
Wang Yanran knew that with her status, she was not even qualified to be Leng Ningxiang's servant, so how could she be someone else's half-sister?
"No, absolutely not, sister. I will accept these gifts. Please don't ever say anything like you and I are sisters of different surnames again. Others will laugh at you."
It’s not that Wang Yanran is inferior, but their identities are there. She is the daughter of a businessman, and an unfavored concubine who is being hunted. How can she compare with Leng Ningxiang?
"Who dares to laugh at me?"
"Sister, I'm serious. I'm naturally straightforward and easily offend people with my words, so I don't have many friends I can talk to. But when we first met, I felt a strong affinity, and I've long wanted to take our relationship to the next level."
I didn't mention it before because I was afraid that my sister would refuse. Now that my sister has saved my family, I am shameless and insist on becoming her half-sister.
It doesn't matter if my sister doesn't want to, I will just treat her as my older sister."
Leng Ningxiang said forcefully.
Wang Yanran was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She had heard that the general's daughter was unruly, but she had no idea she was so unruly.
"Sister, you are really..."
She didn't know what to say.
"Hahaha, you call me sister, that's great. But no, now that you're my sister, you have to let everyone know. Mammy, go arrange the banquet right now. I want everyone to know that Yanran and I are sisters."
Wang Yanran hurriedly stopped him: "Sister, my current status is not suitable for publicity. If Gu Jinyu knew that you and I were sisters with different surnames, he would definitely try to climb up the ladder. I don't want him to succeed."
"In that case, let's wait until my sister breaks off her relationship with Gu Jinyu before we make our relationship public.
There is just one thing: my sister's affairs are my affairs. If I encounter any difficulties in the future, I must let you know."
Wang Yanran nodded with tears in her eyes. She had been harmed by Gu Jinyu for many years. Leng Ningxiang was the first person to show kindness to her besides the children and Master Miaoming.
This time, Leng Ningxiang insisted on leaving two maids to take care of her, and Wang Yanran had no choice but to follow her.
"Wow, mommy has a good best friend! Fubao also has a good aunt to rely on!"
When Fubao woke up from his nap, he saw that the two had become sisters with different surnames, and he shouted happily in his heart.
"Oh, Fubao is okay, come and let your aunt hold you."
Leng Ningxiang saw the little guy open his eyes and couldn't wait to hold him in her arms.
Fubao looked at the beautiful middle-aged woman in front of him and smiled with his little mouth wide open.
"Auntie is so beautiful!"
Leng Ningxiang couldn't help but kiss Fubao and quickly asked the nanny to take out the gift prepared for Fubao.
Gold necklace, gold bracelet, gold anklet, and a pure gold longevity lock.
"Sister, this..."
Wang Yanran was shocked. She felt embarrassed to accept so many gifts.
"Don't refuse. This is a gift for our Fubao. I am Fubao's aunt now. If I want Fubao to change his mind, I must give him a gift."
Eeeeheeah!
Fubao blew bubbles and wanted to nod, but the baby didn't know how to do that yet, so all she could do was blink her big eyes. She was so cute that Leng Ningxiang couldn't help but kiss her.
"Does Auntie's little Fubao like the gift Auntie gave him?"
Yeah yeah yeah!
Little Fubao laughed even more happily.
