Chapter 118: Crisp



When it was dawn, Madam Ning woke up.

She first went to the Buddhist temple to chant, and then looked through the account books at home.

This is the beginning and end of her day.

Chanting sutras and meditating in the Buddhist temple can help her sort out the personal relationships at home, and the account book can help her see the details of the family. For a housewife, this is enough. She can seem to ignore everything and not be in charge, but she is always very clear in her heart.

When it got light, people started to move around in the yard, and the silent Ning family began to wake up. She then went back into the inner room and helped Master Ning get up.

Mr. Ning did not rest here last night, and the empty inner room felt a little lonely.

Lonely, but not lonely at all. Do you still think she is a little girl longing for love? She is already so old.

"Mother."

Someone called out from outside the window, and a young and handsome face appeared, blooming like a spring flower.

Madam Ning's smile also spread.

Her sons are old enough to get married and find their ideal wife.

"When did you come back?" she asked, looking at Ning Yunzhao who came into the room.

Although it was obvious that she had washed, the fatigue on her face was still clearly visible.

Madam Ning felt very distressed.

"You must have left overnight, right?" she asked. "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I can't sleep outside, so I might as well come back directly." Ning Yunzhao smiled indifferently.

Madam Ning was about to call for dinner, but Ning Yunzhao stopped her.

"Mother, I have something to tell you," he said.

"You're talking about setting off for the capital," Madam Ning said with a smile, "The luggage has been packed, and the carriages and horses are ready."

Ning Yunzhao thanked him with a smile, then raised his head with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Mother, please arrange my sister's marriage before I leave," he said.

Madam Ning was stunned.

Ning Yunyan's marriage?

The daughters of the Ning family are all very daring. Unlike those poor families who are eager to marry off their daughters and leave their families with less food to eat, the daughters of the Ning family start looking for marriages at the age of fourteen and get married after the age of fifteen.

Ning Yunyan is fourteen years old this year, and her family has begun to prepare for a marriage for her. This marriage arrangement requires careful selection and will take at least half a year.

What Ning Yunzhao just said was that he had arranged his sister's marriage before he left.

He will leave for the capital in three days.

What he meant was to arrange Ning Yunyan's marriage within three days.

This doesn't mean I'm concerned about my sister's marriage.

Madam Ning also looked solemn.

"Yun Zhao, what happened? Did Yan Yan get into trouble?" she asked.

Ning Yunyan yawned.

"Miss, you're up so early. Why don't you sleep a little longer?" The two maids said beside her.

What's there to sleep on? Yesterday, Lin Jin'er had that incident at Jinyun Tower. Her brother was vague at the time, and she was really worried.

Could it be that the Lin family really would not pursue Jun Zhenzhen? This was too unbelievable.

No. She had to find out carefully. Mother's place was the best place to get information. Let her send someone to find out.

But when Ning Yunyan reached the gate of Madam Ning's courtyard, she was stopped.

"Miss, the Madam is talking to someone." The maid at the door said with a smile. "It is inconvenient to see you for the time being."

As the mistress of the house, Mrs. Ning naturally has many people coming to see her.

"I'll be ready in a moment." Ning Yunyan didn't care and walked inside.

But the girl stopped her again.

"Miss, it's Madam's order that no one is allowed to disturb you." She said with a smile but firmly.

Ning Yunyan's eyes widened. She naturally recognized this girl. She was the second-class maid who served her mother. Her name was Cuizhu.

"Is Cuizhu crazy? Am I anyone? I am my mother's daughter," she said.

Cuizhu remained steadfast and did not give in.

"Miss, it's Madam's order," she said, "Please wait a moment."

It was really puzzling. Was she still asleep or dreaming? She had grown up so much. This was the first time she was stopped by someone at home.

Ning Yunyan looked at the girl in front of her with astonishment.

At this time, there was no maid serving in Madam Ning's room. Only the mother and son were facing each other, and the atmosphere was heavy.

"The child's careless words should not be taken seriously and cannot be considered as evidence." Madam Ning was silent for a moment and then said.

"Mother, reason is reason, and reason is used to deal with others, but we must be clear about the facts in our hearts." Ning Yunzhao said.

Ning Yunyan was indeed wrong in this matter.

Madam Ning did not doubt her son's story. He was not the kind of person who would frame his own sister for no reason.

"Yes, Yanyan was wrong, but the bigger villain was Miss Lin, who said Yanyan seduced her. But it was she who seduced Yanyan." Madam Ning said, "And that Jun Zhenzhen..."

Thinking of Jun Zhenzhen, Madam Ning's face turned even paler.

She is the source of evil.

Ning Yunzhao looked at his mother's expression and guessed what she was thinking. If he had no reaction in the past, he was a little depressed at this time.

She said that if she had any idea, it would be to have nothing to do with each other and never meet again. She said she was annoyed.

Everyone is annoyed.

"Mother, she is not the source of evil," he said.

Madam Ning was startled and looked at Ning Yunzhao.

She thought of what her son said about meeting Jun Zhenzhen. As a woman, she couldn't help but wonder whether her son thought Jun Zhenzhen was beautiful.

Men are always more compassionate and less rational towards beautiful women.

Although she believed his son...

"That's the engagement." Ning Yunzhao continued, "She can use it to do evil things, and others can also use it to do evil things. Everyone knows about the dispute between us and her, so of course they can use this dispute to hurt us."

He said and raised his head.

"And mother, Miss Jun is not an orphan who can be bullied at will. At least this time, even the Lin family didn't dare to do anything to her. This time it was Miss Lin who did it, so what if it was Yanyan in the future?"

Thinking about what happened to Yanyan if Lin Jiner had gone through the same experience, Madam Ning felt a chill run down her spine.

"What if? She dares. Does she think we are the Lin family?" she said with raised eyebrows.

Ning Yunzhao looked at her.

"Mother, maybe Miss Lin also thought the same thing beforehand," he said. "Does mother really want Yanyan to give it a try? Who would benefit from such a thing? Both of us would suffer, how could it be a good thing?"

Although she was absolutely sure, she certainly didn't want Yanyan to try it. That wasn't a good thing, not to mention that the woman was a rogue.

Madam Ning was silent for a moment.

"But there's no need to marry Yanyan off," she said.

Doing this at this time would mean that Yanyan was wrong and that the Ning family was afraid.

"Yanyan is still young. It's easy for her to be taken advantage of by those girls." Ning Yunzhao said, "Yanyan is not young anymore. She can't act like a child anymore. She should be an adult and know what to do and what not to do, what can be done and what can't be done, and what the consequences of doing something that shouldn't be done are. That's what she needs to understand in her life. We can't let her ruin her life by enjoying herself wantonly in her youth."

Then you can lock her up, watch her at home, and prevent her from interacting with those girls.

Madam Ning said in her heart.

Ning Yunzhao stood up.

"Mother, I don't want my marriage to become someone else's bargaining chip." He said calmly, "I don't want it to happen again. I also want to let others know that they can't use my marriage to plot against me."
