Chapter 141 Meeting Ning Ran
Ning Fu knew that Zhang He cried so sadly probably because he learned the news of Zong Si's "death".
The love of a young lady has always been passionate and unswerving, and that is why it is so easy to touch a man's cold heart.
"Fourth sister, sister Zhang He is eight years younger than the Crown Prince. No one in the capital has ever seen such a huge age difference between the original wives. It may not be easy for sister Zhang He and the Crown Prince, right?" Ning He whispered curiously in her ear.
"That may not be the case." Nymph thought for a moment and said.
Seeing that she was not in high spirits, Ning He did not ask any more questions and took her to rest.
Early the next morning, Ning Fu went to the courtyard of Ning Yu, the eldest son of the family.
Wei Ziyi was about to give birth, and her whole body was swollen, but her eyes were sparkling. When she saw Ning Fu, her eyes became even brighter, and she said with a smile: "Afu, you are finally back in Beijing. I have been bored without you in the mansion for the past six months. Fortunately, Ahe is here, otherwise I don't know how to pass the time."
Ning Fu held her hand, feeling happy for her, and smiled, "Aunt must have treated Sister Wei as a treasure now, right?"
Speaking of this, Wei Ziyi's eyes couldn't help but show a little more emotion.
If Ning Fu had not risked her life to take her to see Doctor Mu, she might not be able to have a child now. She might have obeyed her mother-in-law's wishes and let Ning Yu take a concubine.
As for the consequences of her husband taking a concubine, she had seen it from Wei Xiao. No matter how good the relationship between husband and wife was, once a man had a concubine, his heart would definitely be biased. If the concubine had a child and the wife still had no children, the concubine would definitely want to take over by relying on the mother's status as a child.
Wei Ziyi couldn't accept that kind of life.
Unable to accept Ning Yu's heart, he was raising someone else's child on someone else's body.
"Sister Ning, the person I should be most grateful to in my life is you." Wei Ziyi said with red eyes, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my current situation would be worse than Sister Ran. You are the one who changed my destiny. I don't know how I can repay this kindness."
"As long as Sister Wei is well, all this is worth it." Nymph said.
In her previous life, Wei Ziyi was depressed all day long because of the existence of Ning Yu's concubine, the concubine's scheming, and the indulgence of her aunt Wei.
The eldest brother was forced by her to take a concubine, and he had long been resentful of her. His attention was also distracted by the child, and the affection between them was completely worn out.
Ning Fu had the will but not the ability at that time, but now she was very happy to help Wei Ziyi change her fate in her previous life.
"By the way, you mentioned Sister Ran just now. How is Sister Ran now?" Ning Fu asked.
Women are always prone to pity for other women. Wei Ziyi couldn't help showing some sympathy and said, "My brother-in-law brought a son back from abroad. Lord Wei and Madam Wei saw that it was a son and wanted to keep the child. Sister Ran couldn't swallow this anger and was almost miscarried a few days ago."
Ning Fu didn't expect that Wei Xiao could be so cruel.
"Does this have to be mentioned when Sister Ran is pregnant?" Ning Fu felt that this matter was not simple. Wei Xiao's mistress was probably not a simple character.
"The child was born not long ago and I heard that he was seriously ill. The concubine had no choice but to bring the child to the Wei Mansion to ask for care. How could Lord Wei bear to let the child have a high fever?" Wei Ziyi sighed and said, "But this happened at such a bad time."
"I'm afraid someone did this on purpose." Ning Fu said.
"How could there be people in this world willing to take risks with their children?" Wei Ziyi said in disbelief.
"Children are nothing more than tools for those in power. So what if they use children for power?"
As Ning Fu was speaking, she somehow thought of Zong Si and paused slightly.
Wei Ziyi asked, "Do you want to go see Sister Ran?"
The last time they met, Ning Fu and her had a bad argument because of Wei Xiao, and they haven't spoken a word to each other since then. But at this moment, Ning Fu will not be angry with Ning Ran anymore.
The ladies of the Duke's Mansion still have to support each other when they are outside. If they don't even help their own people, the Duke's Mansion will not prosper.
Now that Ning Zhenyuan is highly regarded by Emperor Jingwen, the Wei Mansion is naturally polite to the fourth young lady of the Ningguo Mansion.
The first time Ning Ran saw her, she couldn't help but have red eyes. She bit her lip and said nothing.
"Sister Ran." Ning Fu said when she saw that she looked haggard.
"Afu." Ning Ran couldn't help crying. When Ning Fu approached her, she couldn't help but snuggle into her arms and cried silently.
"Sister Ran, don't always think about that child. A concubine is a concubine. How can she think of that child over your child? Sister Ran's own body is the most important. First, take care of the baby. There will be ways to deal with things in the future."
Ning Fu hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Sister Ran has the support of the Duke's Mansion behind her, so can the concubine still bully Sister Ran?"
Ning Ran said: "It's not because of that mistress."
"Is such a brother-in-law worthy of my sister's attachment?" Ning Fu said.
These words made Ning Ran pause and shed tears silently.
"Sister has always been a smart queen. Even if you stay in the Wei Mansion, you should consider my nephew." Ning Fu said, "Men are fake, and the power in their hands is real. This is what Sister Ran once told me, but now Sister has forgotten it."
Ning Ran was silent for a moment, wiped her tears, and said: "I knew that you would be my backer. When you came, I felt confident. I was wrong to quarrel with you before."
The more Wei Xiao messed around, the more sober she became. Only family was her support. It was not worth it to get angry with Ning Fu because of comparison.
So what if my sister is better than me? She will never be my enemy. But these people outside who are better than me are here to steal my interests.
"I still agree with Sister Qi Ran's attitude." Ning Fu looked at her and said.
"I know, and I don't ask for your forgiveness." Ning Ran just knew that although the sisters usually had their own thoughts, they were united in facing the outside world.
After meeting Ning Ran, Ning Fu went to look at the child.
The outer room, delicate and frail, with tears in the corners of her eyes, looked at the child lying in the rocking bed. The child was too weak to make a sound. The doctor came and went in a hurry.
"Fourth Miss, we in the Wei Mansion would never want Ran'er to suffer at this time, but since it involves human life, there is no other way. We have to let the mother and son stay in the mansion to receive medical treatment." Madam Wei sighed.
The woman also kowtowed, tears falling, which she wiped away gently, and said, "Fourth Miss, I will leave when the child's condition gets better. I will never stay in the mansion and bother the lady."
Wei Xiao frowned, and Ning Fu actually saw some heartache in his eyes.
But this time, he didn't even look at me, his heart and eyes were fixed on the mistress.
It's obvious that he is really moved.
Nymph took another look at the concubine. She was only wearing a plain hairpin on her head. It seemed that she wore it casually, but it was obvious that there was a lot of thought behind it.
As long as the child stays, she will be able to enter the Wei Mansion sooner or later. It's just nice talk, a good tactic of retreating to advance.
Ning Fu thought for a moment, smiled and helped her up, and said to Madam Wei: "Of course, human life is at stake. Sister Ran is kind-hearted and will definitely not care about this matter. She is probably just worried about brother-in-law's attitude. However, the condition has not improved in the past few days. I think it's because the doctor's medical skills are not good enough. I happen to know a disciple of Doctor Mu who has excellent medical skills. If the old lady doesn't mind, why not let her take the child to the manor of the Duke's Mansion for treatment."
This way, the woman could be driven out of the Wei Mansion, and Sister Ran could also leave behind a reputation of being tolerant and kind, as she was willing to give the manor outside the Duke's Mansion to the woman for use.
The woman paused, shook her head and said, "I am a humble woman, how can I embarrass the fourth lady?"
Ning Fu smiled and said, "Miss, you don't trust our Duke's Mansion."
"The fourth lady misunderstood, it's just..."
Ning Fu just looked at Madam Wei and said, "Madam, the child's life is important. It is not a good thing to delay it like this. If something happens, someone will misunderstand that my sister Ran did something. The Duke's Mansion does not want to hear such gossip."
Madam Wei couldn't help but look at Nymph.
Every word these four girls say is criticizing the Wei Mansion. If such gossip really gets out, the Duke's Mansion will probably blame the Wei Mansion. Now that Ning Zhenyuan is in the limelight, Wei Xiao's future depends on the Duke's Mansion.
"What the Fourth Miss said is right. I'll trouble you then." said Old Madam Wei.
Wei Xiao frowned, but said nothing.
The concubine shed tears. She knew what was going on and couldn't refuse. She kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Fourth Miss."
"The one who should be thanked is my sister Ran." Ning Fu said with a smile.
"Of course I am grateful to you, Madam." The woman could only cooperate, but she clearly looked at Wei Xiao again, looking extremely pitiful.
