The maid ran out in panic, and Madam Ning's house returned to peace.

Ning Yunyan's chest was heaving violently from anger.

Ning Yunzhao looked at her without saying a word and walked into the house.

Madam Ning was sleeping on the bed facing inwards, and seemed to be unable to hear or see what was happening outside.

Ning Yunzhao sat down beside the bed and picked up a bowl of soup.

"Mother, eat something," he said.

Madam Ning seemed to be fast asleep and ignored him.

"Brother!" Ning Yunyan came in from outside and shouted through gritted teeth, "If you really want to care about mother and want her to get better, go and solve this problem quickly."

"The issue of the engagement must of course be resolved." Ning Yunzhao said.

"Do you want to cancel the engagement or be with that bitch..." Ning Yunyan said in a sharp voice.

As soon as the word "shit" came out of his mouth, Ning Yunzhao put the soup bowl on the table. As if accidentally, it hit the teapot beside him, making a crisp and somewhat harsh sound.

Just like her mother-in-law slamming the teacup down when she is unhappy, Ning Yunyan shuddered and stopped talking, and then her eyes became red again.

She is not a child, so she knows that this action is not unintentional but intentional.

The mother-in-law looked amiable, but actually she always treated her as an outsider, praising her perfunctorily, and when she was dissatisfied she would not say anything but just looked away. She could see the look of dissatisfaction, and so could her husband and the servants, and they followed suit and treated her the same way.

She had to be extremely careful, observing her mother-in-law's words and expressions and serving her with care.

She had almost forgotten the carefree and happy days she had as a daughter, but these days, when she kept hearing them mention Jun Zhenzhen, she remembered her own days back then.

At that time, everyone was watching her expression, so she didn't have to be careful at all. If she was happy, she was happy, and if she was unhappy, she was unhappy. Her mother and brother would coax her.

But now, just because she wanted to call Jun Zhenzhen a bitch, her brother actually gave her a cold look and behaved like her mother-in-law.

Ning Yunyan's tears suddenly flowed out.

My brother already treats her as an outsider.

She thought her brother would treat her as an outsider after he got married, but she didn't expect this to happen before he even got married.

And it was all because of an outsider.

Jun Zhenzhen.

Because of that lowly servant Jun Zhenzhen, my brother treats her like this.

"If you have something to say, just talk it over nicely. Don't cry or make a fuss."

Ning Yunzhao's voice followed, still gentle and amiable, but Ning Yunyan no longer had the arrogant feeling of a brother she had before.

This is a scolding of dissatisfaction.

Ning Yunyan cried even louder.

"Who are you talking about?" Madam Ning suddenly sat up from the bed and raised her eyebrows and shouted, pointing her finger, "Get out of here, I don't need you to serve me here, why are you throwing things around, who are you trying to show your face to?"

He was trembling all over as he spoke.

"I will pretend that I never gave birth to you."

Then he lay down on the pillow and cried.

"I was weak and nearly died when I was pregnant with you. The doctor advised me not to keep you, but I couldn't bear to do that. I risked my life to give birth to you, but now you are going to kill me."

Seeing her mother crying, Ning Yunyan cried even louder. Old Master Ning, who had just walked out of the courtyard gate, rubbed his ears.

"I'll come back later." He said, and looked at the courtyard with some admiration and sympathy, "Yun Zhao really has a hard time."

Ning Yunzhao in the room sat upright like a pine tree amid the crying of the two women, his expression not changing at all.

"Mother, I know all this. Don't cry. Things will eventually be resolved." He said gently, "You just heard it. She's back."

Previously, he always said that this matter had to wait until Miss Jun came back to be resolved.

However, the root cause of this matter is not whether Miss Jun will come back or not.

Does the man not understand or is he just pretending to be confused?

Madam Ning stopped crying and looked at him.

"How are you going to resolve this with her?" she said.

"You'll know after asking her." Ning Yunzhao said seriously.

"I don't want to ask her now, I want to ask you." Madam Ning shouted, "No matter how she says to solve it, you still like her, right? Even if she says to cancel the engagement, you will not marry her, right?"

Ning Yunzhao smiled.

"It's too big a promise to marry her," he said. "No one knows what will happen next, and I dare not say this."

You could say he was crazy. He was really crazy to suddenly say that he liked Jun Zhenzhen.

Just like the young man next door who finally became a scholar, before the whole family had time to rejoice, the scholar's son went crazy and wanted to marry a young widow.

But Ning Yunzhao was not like that mad scholar who was shouting that he would marry her at all costs.

My son has always been a sensible person.

"Yun Zhao." Madam Ning held his hand with a hint of pleading and a hint of chess, "Did that bitch seduced you?"

Ning Yunzhao smiled.

"Mother, you don't know your son yet," he said. "Am I the kind of person who can be seduced?"

Madam Ning was startled by what was said, and immediately her mouth was full of bitterness.

She would rather not know!

She angrily shook off Ning Yunzhao's hand.

"In short, you must not like her. Even if you do, you are not allowed to like her now and in the future." She shouted, "I will find you another good girl. You also said that no one would know what happened in the future."

"Mother, it's not that easy to like or dislike something." Ning Yunzhao smiled and put his arm around Madam Ning's shoulders.

So after talking for so long, it’s actually the same as saying nothing.

No, he didn't say nothing, he was trying to convince himself.

Madam Ning's heart was as cold as ice.

I was sick and lying down without food, but he seemed to be serving me obediently, but he was still trying to convince me all the time and didn't seem to obey me at all.

In his eyes, I am not even as good as that bitch!

"Get out!" she shouted hoarsely, pushing Ning Yunzhao away, "Get out! I don't have a son like you!"

Ning Yunzhao remained calm and unhurried, and sighed lightly.

"Mother, calm down." He said, "I will listen to you. Don't be angry. I will leave first."

Then he walked out.

Are you listening to her now?

Watching Ning Yunzhao walk out, Madam Ning slapped the soup bowl on the table to the ground.

"Mom, what should we do?" Ning Yunyan cried, "My brother has been bewitched by that vixen."

Madam Ning clenched her hands and her face turned pale.

"Unless I die," she gritted her teeth and said, "I don't believe he would really dare to give up his mother for that bitch."

As long as mother persists.

Ning Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief. Her father was unreliable, and the other people in the Ning family were even more hateful. When she went out these days, there were actually people who happily asked her when Miss Jun would get married.

How shameless! What's so good about that woman? They treat her like a treasure.

"Mother." She thought of something, looked around, and took out a few snacks from the small drawer beside her. "Eat something quickly. Don't be too hungry. Then let that bitch have her way."

Of course the hunger strike was fake.

Madam Ning took it with a sullen face.
