Li's old house.
After breakfast, Shen Ning took her five children to visit Li Jichun and the old lady as usual, talking to them and letting them live the life they wished for, surrounded by their children and grandchildren.
Not long after, Li Wanqing came over.
This time, Li Wanqing was not as kind and smiling as before. Her face was gloomy and ugly, and she looked very worried.
"Ningning, come here, I have something to ask you." As usual, after they talked and laughed together for a while, the old man was tired and fell asleep on the recliner. Li Wanqing pulled Shen Ning's arm and spoke in a low voice.
"Okay." Shen Ning handed the child to the special nurse and followed her out.
"Ningning, where did you go yesterday?" As soon as they went out, before Shen Ning could even stand still, Li Wanqing asked.
Shen Ning was stunned, and seeing Li Wanqing's serious expression, she immediately replied: "Auntie, Xiaoxiao was pushed by a small stone yesterday and lost a tooth. Her knee was bleeding. I took her to the hospital to treat the wound."
"Really?" Li Wanqing continued to ask, "Then where else did you go?"
"I didn't go anywhere. After checking the wound, I took Xiaoxiao home." Shen Ning shook his head.
"Ningning, I hope you won't lie to me. Please answer me truthfully." Li Wanqing's tone was heavy, her face tense, and the gentle light in her eyes was gone. She looked very stiff, as if she was facing a daughter who had done something bad but refused to admit it.
“Auntie, I didn’t lie to you. I just took Xiaoxiao to the hospital and then went home.” Shen Ning repeatedly affirmed in a firm tone.
Li Wanqing looked at her, with a look of heartache and disappointment in her eyes.
Shen Ning was really confused by her seriousness and didn’t understand why she would ask her like that.
"Auntie, is something wrong? Or what happened?" She had a bad feeling that something bad must have happened, and it was related to her.
"Ah." Li Wanqing suddenly sighed heavily, her eyes red. "Ningning, I know Zhenting hurt you. Our Li family is sorry for you. You no longer love Zhenting. This is the truth. We shouldn't have forced you to stay here. I originally thought that you and Zhenting already have five children and that you had a foundation of love. I always wanted to reunite you so that the children would have a complete family. Now it seems that I was wrong, so wrong."
She walked away with a dark face and a sad back.
Shen Ning looked at her back in confusion, unable to figure out what was going on.
She turned and walked inside and ran into Liang Ruqi.
"Hmph, you're such a traitor. How shameless." Liang Ruqi's face was full of contempt and disdain, and she looked at her with a cold glint in her eyes.
Shen Ning suddenly felt a chill on his back, not knowing what had happened.
Later, after she brought the children back to the bedroom, she wanted them to study, so she went to the living room to get their schoolbags.
As soon as she passed by, the servants and nannies were whispering to each other. After seeing her, they all lowered their heads and walked away. The whole air was filled with a strange smell.
However, when Rao Yajing saw her, she was very enthusiastic and smiled widely.
"Ningning, tell me what you want to eat today. I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you and the children." She spoke affectionately, as if the unpleasant things that happened in the morning had never happened, and there was no trace of them on her at all.
"Thank you. The children and I will eat whatever you eat. There's no need to make anything special." Shen Ning replied with doubt in his heart.
"I'm just afraid that Zhenting will blame me for not managing the family well. I was too negligent. I didn't expect that he loves you and the children so much." Rao Yajing's words had hidden meaning.
Shen Ning didn't want to say anything more to her, so he took Keke's schoolbag and walked inside, but he felt cold all over.
