When Meixiang opened her eyes, she was still conscious in her dream when she suddenly saw Yunniang standing by the bed. She was so startled that she sat up and almost screamed.
"You're going to die! You're so scary!"
Meixiang came to her senses, covered her chest and glared at her.
Yunniang smiled coldly without answering. She lifted the quilt and got into bed. Then she sat on the bed with her knees hugged and the quilt hugged, staring at Meixiang with her eyes fixed, which made her feel uneasy.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Where have you been? Why did you come back just now?" Meixiang's voice trembled slightly. She subconsciously felt that Yunniang was planning something big, and she felt a little scared.
"Don't stare at me like that. I didn't provoke you. I even took you in and let you live here without telling my uncle. Don't get me into trouble!"
Yunniang lowered her eyelashes, and after a while, tears began to fall.
Meixiang was anxious, but she didn't dare to speak loudly. She lowered her voice and said, "What are you doing? It's the middle of the night, why are you crying like this instead of going to bed?"
"My dear sister." Yunniang looked up at her, her face filled with grief and indignation. "I'm so miserable! Tell me, why do they treat us like toys? They take us when they want us, and then throw us away like rags when they don't. Why?"
"We are all daughters of good and honest families. It was not easy for our parents to raise us, and yet they just ruined us for nothing without even a chance to seek justice!"
"Why do they treat us like this? They live happily every day. I really can't stand this!"
With just a few words, she brought back the unbearable past of Meixiang marrying Chen Lei, which she had deliberately tried to forget.
Yes, they were all daughters of honest families. Her uncle could have been the Seventh Prince of Yue State, and the Princess of Yue State could have been her grandmother. Why should she, with such a distinguished background, suffer such a loss? Let them sell her like an object at will?
What's wrong with her liking Brother Ding?
The more Meixiang thought about it, the more she felt that she shouldn't have let Jian Ning go. "I'm going to make that vicious woman suffer enough to vent my anger! And that big, ugh, Huo Jincheng! They all deserve to be cut into pieces!"
"Do you want to vent this anger?" Yunniang asked her.
"How do we get out?" Meixiang was stunned for a moment, "Do you have a plan?"
"People always have to think of solutions. Go to sleep first. I'll tell you when I have thought of something."
The next morning, after Jian Ning took Erniu and Sanniu to practice martial arts, she sent them and A'man to the main gate of the Taifu Mansion. When she came back, she caught up with Duan Yu who was coming to the main gate of the house and was talking to Ding Youtian at the door.
She thought it was Ding Youtian who opened the door, and Ding Youtian thought it was her who opened it. Neither of them knew that it was Yunniang who opened the door when she went out last night.
On the way to the academy, Duan Yu saw many scholars heading towards the Imperial Examination Hall. When he asked, he found out that the Ministry of Rites had posted a notice for the imperial examination. He decided not to go to the academy and ordered the coachman to turn around and pick up Ding Youtian. He used this as an excuse to skip classes for another day.
"Elder sister!" Seeing Jian Ning coming, he hurriedly bowed respectfully.
He was familiar with Ding Youtian and was very casual in their interactions, but he felt a little nervous when he saw Jian Ning.
"My humble servant greets the young lady." His servant also bowed.
"Don't you have to go to school today?" Jane Ning asked him.
Duan Yu lowered his head, but secretly glanced at Ding Youtian. Ding Youtian laughed out loud and said, "It's okay if he doesn't go for one day. I'll make it up to him later."
Jian Ning slapped him on the back and said, "One day is fine, but can't you help him every day? You might as well go and study for him." She glared at the servant and said, "Hurry up and take your son to the academy. If you let him skip school again, I will beat you."
Duan Yu had no choice. His eldest sister was too fierce and even dared to hit her brother-in-law. He glanced at Ding Youtian with some sympathy, bowed to Jian Ning, and quickly turned around and left.
The servant hurriedly followed him, saying with a bitter face, "Second Master! You heard me, I won't do it again next time. Please be considerate of me and don't let me get beaten again."
Duan Yu was not studious, so the teachers in the academy punished him and his servant together, and the servant often got punished more severely.
"Okay, stop giving me that sullen look. You're not wronged at all. I told you not to go to the academy today and you jumped higher than me. Now you're feeling wronged."
After Duan Yu left, Ding Youtian glanced at Jian Ning, "Did you see the look Duan Yu gave me just now? I've been pitied by a brat who's still wet behind the ears. If you do this again, I'll..."
"What do you want?"
"I want breakfast! I'm still hungry, why don't you hurry up and make breakfast for me!"
Tsk, Jane Ning rolled her eyes secretly, but her body remained quite obedient. She gave herself a reason. The key point was that she didn't have breakfast either, and it wasn't for Ding Youtian.
During the meal, Ding Youtian asked Jian Ning, "I'm going to the Imperial Examination Hall to check the notices. Do you want to come with me? Then I'll accompany you to the palace."
Jian Ning blinked and smiled, "I'll go and see it for you and take some photos. You can take a closer look when you get back. Wouldn't it be better to use this time to review your studies at home? Why bother making a trip?"
"Don't you have a bicycle? I'll sit in the back and you can take me there. I can also take turns riding with you."
"Are you crazy? You're so tall and heavy, it's hard to believe that wooden-wheeled bicycle can carry you."
"Aside from being taller and having bigger bones than you, I don't have as much flesh as you." He glanced at the area below Jian Ning's neck. "Those two lumps are what weigh the weight down. They're really heavy."
Jian Ning followed his line of sight and looked down, then looked at him with a smile and called softly, "Husband~"
"What?"
"I'll take it as a compliment. That's called a cleavage, understand?" She finished the rice in her bowl in a few gulps. "I'll cook, you wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen."
Jian Ning went back to her room, changed her clothes, and came out with her medicine box. By the time she pushed her bicycle out, Ding Youtian had finished his meal and was carrying the dishes out. He glanced at Jian Ning and said, "You're wearing something so bright, it's going to attract a lot of attention."
"What did you say?" Jane Ning turned her head and asked him.
He looked up at the sky, his chin tilted upward. "I said it's a nice day, perfect for riding this thing. Go get going."
"Go to hell!" Jane Ning turned around, got into the cart and left.
Ding Youtian narrowed his eyes slightly and watched her push the cart out of the yard. Huo Jincheng came over with his hands behind his back, looked at him, then followed his gaze to glance at Jian Ning, then looked back at him, "You don't seem convinced. Did that woman make you angry?"
"What do you mean by that woman?" Ding Youtian glanced at him from head to toe. "That's my wife. Be careful, I'll tell my wife. If she gets angry, she'll beat your child."
He took the dishes to the kitchen.
"Which man washes dishes and does what women do?" Huo Jincheng said behind him.
"Are your eyes in your stomach? Can't you see with your eyes wide open? My family, my Ding Youtian family!"
You bastard, I'm speaking up for you, but you don't know how to appreciate it!
Huo Jincheng cursed a few words in his heart, then went to the kitchen.
