Chapter 300 She has been waiting for this word "mother" for too long
Ning Leshu was immediately disappointed and was about to cry again, feeling sad and heartbroken.
The Ning brothers looked at each other, their expressions becoming serious, but they didn't seem particularly surprised.
When they discussed it before, they felt that their cousin was a very opinionated person and might not be willing to go to the capital to become a noble lady in a marquis's mansion.
Such an identity is an honor for ordinary people, but not necessarily for her.
She can rise step by step on her own, and she has unknown strength, so she doesn't need to rely on the Marquis' Mansion at all.
What's more, the Marquis's Mansion is unwilling to give up Han Ye, which must be very uncomfortable for my cousin.
"Yingying, can you tell me the reason?"
Ning Leshu's voice was choked with sobs. She wanted to know if she had done something wrong.
Xiao Ying sighed softly and said, "I grew up in the mountains and have become accustomed to life here. I don't like all the twists and turns and rules."
"Besides, I'm still a widow with four children. There's no reason for me to live in the Marquis' Mansion when I go to Shangjing."
"My children are also growing up steadily. I don't want them to suddenly change their environment and achieve success overnight."
"I'm living a good life now. I have an imperial decree and more money than I can spend. There's really no need for me to go to the capital and get involved in this mess."
Ning Leshu opened her mouth and hesitated several times to speak. She had never thought about these reasons. She only wanted to take her daughter back to enjoy a good life.
Yes, is it really good for my daughter to go to Beijing?
Although Shangjing is a prosperous city, it also values rules. The powerful and wealthy families value face the most and are also the most fond of gossip.
By then, there will definitely be rumors and my daughter will definitely find it difficult to adapt.
She was furious at the thought of those gossipy women gossiping about her daughter behind her back.
But how could she bear to leave her daughter in this remote place? How could she bear to be separated from her daughter again?
He frowned, but couldn't think of a way to have the best of both worlds.
"My cousin has an imperial decree, so even if she doesn't live in the Marquis's Mansion, she can still establish her own residence."
Ning Yuanchen suddenly spoke up. He understood his cousin's concerns, but she was also taking things too seriously.
"As for being a widow, that's nothing. There are widowed ladies in the capital."
"With the support of the Zhenyuan Marquisate and my Ning family, I believe others won't dare to say anything."
"As the saying goes, people always strive for higher goals. My cousin is worried that the children won't be able to adapt to the sudden change of environment, but isn't this also a test?"
"Xinghe is an excellent student. Once he goes to Shangjing, he will definitely be able to enter the Imperial College. His future will be even brighter."
There was one more thing he didn't say: there were many outstanding talents in Beijing, and if my cousin was willing, she could remarry.
Ning Leshu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and hope rose in his heart again.
"Yes, Yingying, Yuanchen is right. With the support of the Zhenyuan Marquisate and the Ning family, who would dare to say anything bad about you?"
"It's okay if you don't like to learn the rules. As long as you don't provoke anyone from the royal family, mother will keep you safe."
Xiao Ying was indeed somewhat touched. Ning Leshu and Ning Yuanchen were very thoughtful of her, but she didn't know the most important reason.
The sect is her foundation, and now that she is just starting out, she absolutely cannot give it up.
She secretly wondered, since she almost killed Yu Fuyao, had she provoked someone from the royal family?
Going to the Marquis' Mansion might bring them danger.
"What you said makes sense, but my roots are here and I can't leave easily."
"Maybe I'll go to Shangjing one day, but not now."
At least we have to wait until the sect has a certain amount of power to defend against external enemies and risks, such as having a few people in the late stage of Qi Refining.
This is very difficult for other immortal cultivation families, but it is much simpler for her. With the cheating device of the Immortal Mansion, the cultivation time can be greatly shortened.
As the sect grows stronger, she will sooner or later have to go out and face the five major immortal cultivation families.
Seeing her determined expression and no possibility of turning things around, Ning Leshu and the Ning brothers all looked very disappointed.
"This is actually not bad." Ning Yuanze suddenly spoke up to smooth things over: "I have to stay in Yun'an County for at least one or two years, during which time I can take care of my cousin."
"Whenever my aunt and uncle miss my cousin, they can come visit her. My cousin might change her mind at any time."
Ning Leshu comforted himself a little, telling himself that at least his daughter did not completely refuse, and there would be a chance for the family to reunite in the future.
"Yingying, can you please call me mother?"
Finally, she asked with a longing look on her face.
Xiao Ying didn't know how many years it had been since she had felt her mother's love. Although Chen Zhang was very good to her, she always felt there was a layer of distance between them.
Ning Leshu was different. She truly held her in the palm of her hand, showing the most sincere love a mother has for her child.
"mother."
She called out softly.
It didn't seem as embarrassing as I had imagined when I shouted it out loud. Instead, it touched my soul.
It’s as if a wanderer who has been wandering for a long time has finally returned home and found his own harbor.
"Why!"
Ning Leshu immediately burst into tears and cried with joy.
She had been waiting for this call of "mother" for a long time, and her Yingying finally recognized her.
She suddenly strode forward without caring about her manners and hugged Xiao Ying in her arms, her tears wet Xiao Ying's hair.
Xiao Ying also stood up and hugged her back with both hands, with light and smile in his eyes.
The Ning brothers smiled at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This result was already very good.
At noon, the three members of the Ning family stayed to have lunch together.
Ning Leshu was so happy that he smiled from ear to ear and ate half a bowl more than usual.
The Ning brothers were also more active than when they met in the past, especially Ning Yuanchen, who often talked about interesting things in Beijing, which broadened Xiao Ying's horizons.
"Yingying, why aren't your children here?"
During the meal, Ning Leshu asked curiously.
It would be fine if Xinghe wasn't here, but why weren't the other three here either? She still wanted to see her wonderful grandson.
Xiao Ying calmly replied, "Xinghai and Xingyun have gone to the county town to look after the shop. Xinghe is in the academy, and Xingyue is in the workshop. This child has a wild temper and often doesn't come back until evening."
In fact, Chen Xinghai and Chen Xingyue were both in the Immortal Mansion space, one was busy learning alchemy, and the other was busy teaching swordsmanship.
Normally, she would bring the two of them out for lunch, but today Ning Leshu and the other two were here, so it was not convenient to suddenly bring them out.
“They are all promising children.”
Ning Leshu praised with satisfaction, saying that they were able to help Yingying at such a young age, which showed that Yingying had taught them very well.
Xiao Ying asked, "Where will mother live from now on? If I have time, I'll bring a few children to show you."
Ning Leshu smiled and said, "I'll live in the county government office for now. I plan to buy a house in the city so I can spend more time with you."
"Well, when you buy a house, you must tell me. If you like, you can stay with me for a few days."
Xiao Ying took the initiative to invite him, as there were still several empty rooms in her house.
"By the way, if Mother leaves Shangjing for too long, will it arouse suspicion from the family?"
"I don't think so." Ning Leshu frowned slightly. "I said I wanted to stay in a manor outside the capital. I've stayed there before. They shouldn't be suspicious."
Ning Yuanchen sneered: "So what if you suspect me? Even if you know, so what? My cousin is the legitimate daughter of a marquis."
