Two thousand taels.

Mrs. Ning Si repeated these three words in Mrs. Ning Da's room.

"Silver," she continued.

Fortunately it's not gold.

This thought made her very upset again.

The Ning family is not a small family, and two thousand taels of gold will not scare her, not to mention that money is not a consideration at all now.

But it really comes down to money.

Madam Ning's expression also became strange.

"Did she really say that?" she asked.

Madam Ning Si also nodded.

"She didn't cry or make a fuss, and she didn't mention marriage at all," she said, and then added, "She didn't look fake."

Give up in the face of difficulty?

Madam Ning hesitated and said nothing, while Ning Yunyan came back to her senses.

"Mother, this is a trick she is trying to trick us into marrying in," she said.

Madam Ning shook her head.

"If she wanted to seduce us, she wouldn't want such a small amount of money," she said.

Two thousand taels is a lot for ordinary people, but it is nothing for the Ning family.

If Miss Jun really wants to show off, she should give a sum that even the Ning family cannot afford easily.

Did she really agree to cancel the engagement?

After all the hassles and with the marriage certificate in hand and about to deliver the most crucial blow, he suddenly figured it out?

Madam Ning hesitated for a moment and stood up.

"I'll go see her," she said.

Ning Yunyan stamped her feet.

"See, mother, this is her plan, to seduce you to see her!"

Madam Ning looked at her and smiled.

"So what if I see her? She can't even seduce you, Ning Yunzhao's sister, so what can she do to me?" she said.

She is Ning Yunzhao's mother.

There is no one in the world who loves her son more than a mother. In the eyes of a mother, her son is the best in the world. Even if the best woman in the world marries her son, she will feel wronged, not to mention Miss Jun who is nothing.

No, Miss Jun is not nothing. To the Ning family, she is just a pile of mud.

She would never allow her son's white robe to be covered with such mud.

…

Hearing the murmuring "Madam" coming from outside the door again, the little girl, who was getting a little bored of waiting, immediately stood up straight and looked at the Madam who came in with bright eyes.

"A new wife." She muttered, "The Ning family has so many wives."

The Jun family is small and not a large clan. Jun Yingwen is weak and dedicated to his official duties. His wife, Fang, comes from a merchant family. She is very arrogant to this daughter who she got with great difficulty. She has no rules or restrictions and does not know how to deal with people. You can tell from the behavior of the girl beside her.

Madam Ning didn't care. Her eyes were fixed on Miss Jun.

The girl was about the same age as Ning Yunyan, and her face still looked a bit childish. Her appearance was not bad, just good-looking.

As she walked in, Miss Jun, who was originally sitting, stood up and saluted.

"Madam," she said.

Madam Ning was not surprised that Miss Yu Jun recognized her.

Although Miss Jun has not been able to successfully get in front of the ladies of the Ning family in the past six months, after being in the limelight for so long, she must have some idea of ​​what her future mother-in-law will look like.

Hearing the name "Miss Jun", the little girl couldn't hide her joy.

As expected, the young lady was right in saying that she would listen to her in everything, and with just a few words, she summoned Madam Ning.

After they arrived in Yangcheng, they finally persuaded the aunt of the Fang family to come to the Ning family to discuss the marriage. However, the Ning family said that they had never heard of such a marriage. For this, the young lady was ridiculed by those annoying young ladies of the Fang family.

The aunt had always disliked the young lady and was afraid that the Ning family would get into trouble, so she would not try her best to help and plead for them. The young lady decided to do it herself. Her efforts paid off and she finally got to know the young ladies of the Ning family. However, she was helpless because the young ladies of the Ning family avoided associating with her.

Since making friends with Miss Ning was not feasible, they heard that Madam Ning had a gentle temper and was kind-hearted, so they thought of going directly to Madam Ning to ask for help. The young lady's life was pitiful, and if they cried a little, they might get Madam Ning's mercy.

But Madam Ning was even more difficult to see. When she was thinking of a solution, she heard that the tenth son of the Ning family was going to be engaged to a young lady from the Yang family. The young lady became anxious and urged Old Lady Fang and her aunt to go to the Ning family. However, the two elders pretended to be deaf and dumb and made excuses. The young lady had to go to the Ning family herself, but she couldn't even enter the second door of the Ning family, let alone meet Madam Ning.

I threatened Madam Ning with the white silk just now, but she still didn't come out. I didn't expect her to come as soon as I asked for money.

It seems that Lady Ning is not only gentle and kind, but also greedy.

Madam Ning naturally had no idea what this little girl was thinking about, but she looked at Miss Jun.

"Miss Jun, do you feel wronged?" she asked.

Her face was gentle and her voice was soft and slow, which made people feel sincere and affectionate unconsciously. The little girl thought of the life they had lived as master and servant since the death of her master, and her heart was filled with sadness and her eyes could not help but turn red.

I feel so wronged.

At this time, the young lady should kneel down and cry to Madam Ning. Such a gentle lady, who is as gentle as a clay Buddha, will surely be melted by her tears.

The little girl looked at the young lady in front of her. Miss Jun was still standing upright, but because her back was turned away, she couldn't see her expression clearly and wondered if her eyes were filled with tears.

"Madam, you must feel aggrieved too, right?" Miss Jun said.

Her voice was also soft and slow, with a hint of sigh, which made it even more sincere and heartfelt.

Madam Ning looked at her and smiled.

"Yes, as a mother, it is really a shame to see the children whom she has raised with so much effort and love are suddenly bitten by such despicable pigs and dogs. However, she cannot beat or scold these animals because they are ignorant of human nature. If she beats or scolds them, she will be accused of being narrow-minded. It is really aggrieved and heartbreaking," she said.

The little girl was stunned by what she heard, and looked in amazement at the lady sitting in front of her who was smiling and looked as gentle as a bodhisattva.

Yes, are you scolding them?

Dirty pig?

Could such vicious words come from this lady's mouth?

There was no sound of crying from the lady in front of me.

"I'm not the mother, but I feel bad when I encounter such a thing." Miss Jun still spoke softly and nodded.

"If I were to encounter such a thing, I would bear it." Lady Ning said, "But a mother cannot bear to see her children encounter such a thing. If her child is sick, the mother wishes she were sick herself. If someone hurts her child, the mother wishes she could bite that person's flesh."

She smiled again when she said this.

"Miss Jun is still young. You will know when you become a mother in the future."

After these few sentences, her words and expression were gentle and amiable, as if she was discussing a very pleasant topic.

"I know Miss Jun feels very aggrieved. You went back on your word after making an agreement. Please forgive me. This agreement is a leap forward for you to have a rich life. Our Ning family has always been kind and generous. We have never been stingy in giving aid to disaster victims or beggars on the street. But I will support your destiny."

She looked at Miss Jun and shook her head with a smile on her face.

"This incident really makes us feel wronged and disgusted."

The little girl's tears were already falling.

The grievance and anger caused by the cold and threatening attitude of the two ladies when I came to the house earlier and being ignored by the maid, now mattered nothing.

Madam Ning's words, spoken with such a smile and tenderness, were even more terrifying than indifference and threats.

She didn't even know how terrible it was. She just felt like a knife cutting at her. She wanted to hide but there was nowhere to hide. She was shivering and isolated. Besides anger, she felt more despair.

Madam Ning looked at Miss Jun in front of her. Miss Jun still had a calm expression, with a pair of bright and dark eyes without any emotion in them.

She was quiet and listened carefully to what her elders said, just like any other polite and well-behaved girl, without any dissatisfaction, rebuttal or disdain.

As if to make sure that Madam Ning had finished speaking, she nodded.

"Yes." She said, "This matter does make people feel wronged. I don't know what Old Lady Ning was thinking. It is obviously a matter that can be solved with money, but she insisted on using her children's marriage as a reward for her kindness. In the end, she didn't repay the kindness, but made us the bad guys. Or maybe Old Lady Ning just didn't want to pay back the money, but was afraid that we would get into trouble, so she did this."

She smiled when she said this.

"Grandma Ning, you really worry too much. Our Jun family treats illnesses and saves lives without expecting anything in return. It is our ancestral duty to be kind and generous. Whether it is a disaster victim who comes to our door or a beggar on the street, we are not stingy in treating illnesses and saving lives and giving medicine."

This sounds familiar.

The tearful little girl couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw that the smile on Madam Ning's face sitting opposite her was a little stiff.

"Mrs. Ning didn't want to pay for the medical treatment and medicines, and just said she had no money. It's not a big deal, why would she resort to such means? Not only did she default on the debt, but she also put us in a bad place."

Miss Jun said this, looking at Madam Ning and smiling slightly.

"This incident really makes us feel wronged and disgusted."

The smile on Madam Ning's face shattered.
