Chapter 93 Fighting for Respect (1)
When Fu Jiahui arrived at Qingtian Pavilion, Zong Si had already been there for a while.
The flame on the candlestick flickered, and half of the man's face was hidden in the light. His emotions were hard to tell, but he was definitely not very happy.
Fu Jiahui felt that with his personality, he deserved to suffer some emotional pain.
"The fourth young lady came to Nuanxiang Pavilion a few days ago to withdraw a sum of money, but I didn't see where she used it." Fu Jiahui said.
In the past, after Zhang Zhong, the manager of Nuanxiang Pavilion, had settled the accounts for the money, Fu Jiahui would go to check the accounts, and then exchange them for silver bills, which would be handed over to Ning Fu by Zhang Zhong.
Such early withdrawal has never happened before.
Zong Si understood Ning Fu's thoughts clearly. She was afraid that she would not be able to withdraw the money later.
He was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Send someone to deliver these ancient books to the fourth young lady."
Fu Jiahui took a look and found that in addition to several books of anecdotes and the most fashionable calligraphy and paintings of Dayan, there was also a rare copy of Master Luo of the Ming Dynasty. There were books for killing time and some for cultivating one's temperament.
There are traces of reading every book. I am afraid that he also reads them on weekdays and kept them because he thought they were good.
The prince did have Nymph in his heart, but he was experiencing the bitterness of love for the first time, and perhaps even he himself was unsure of his own heart.
For the sake of herself and Ning Zheng, Fu Jiahui naturally hopes that Ning Fu can take down Zong Si.
Some time ago, she kissed Ning Zheng in Jingshanlou. Although he refused and reached out to push her away, she cried out in pain, so he dared not move at all. He hurriedly asked her where it hurt, and then he became unconsciously confused and lost in passion.
Finally he said, "Miss Fu, I am not worthy of your trust. Please don't suffer with me."
Fu Jiahui knew that he was reluctant to let her go, her hands were clenched until they turned white, she just smiled and said: "A Zheng, I will take care of everything, you just wait for me to marry you. But you are not allowed to talk about marriage, if you talk about one, I will ruin it."
Ning Zheng's eyes instantly turned red, and he said in a hoarse voice: "You should know that it is as difficult as ascending to heaven, why don't you live your life well?"
"I'm not afraid of dying with you." Fu Jiahui smiled.
She and Ning Zheng represent different forces, and there is a huge gap in status between officials and businessmen, but even so, she must get him.
Fu Jiahui collected her thoughts, thought for a moment, and said, "The fifth young lady of the Duke's Mansion has been ill recently, and the fourth young lady Ning has been in the mansion recently and has not left the mansion in recent days."
"Is it contagious?" Zong Si frowned.
"I heard that he was injured and the wound became infected." Fu Jiahui said.
Zong Si naturally had no time to worry about Ning He's affairs, but he still wrote her a letter saying that if Ning He needed to see an imperial physician, he would be able to help.
When Ning Fu saw Zong Si's letter, she had just finished changing the medicine on Ning He's back.
However, this letter arrived a little late. The fourth prince Meng Che had already done Ning Zheng a favor and invited the imperial physician Cheng from the palace.
"Fourth sister." Ning He suddenly exclaimed, waking up from her dream, and trembling all over.
"I'm here." Nymph stepped forward and comforted her.
Ning He held her hand, and when he saw that she had no intention of leaving, he felt relieved and fell into a deep sleep again.
The festering wounds had only gotten better in the past few days, but he had a high fever for several days and was in a state of confusion. He only felt better today.
Ning Fu didn't know how Zhang, as a concubine, could be so cruel.
They sat there for two hours. When Ning He woke up again, Ning Fu was sitting in front of the window reading a book. There was a drizzle outside the window, which made the fourth sister look calm and quiet.
Ning He thought, even if she fell asleep, her fourth sister did not leave for a moment and did not answer her perfunctorily in every word.
"What are you thinking about?" Ningfu also noticed that she woke up and asked her with a smile.
"I'm thinking how nice it is to have a fourth sister. Little Ah He can have someone to love and care for him," Ning He said.
Nymph touched her head, and she cooperated by rubbing it in her palm.
"Fourth sister, Ahe will repay you in the future." Ning He said.
Nymph asked, "Why did your aunt take action again this time?"
Ning He's eyes flickered, she lowered her head and said softly, "Mother went to ask Aunt if she was willing to marry me to the Wei Mansion as a concubine. Aunt was extremely angry and said that I was destined to be a worthless person, just like her, and would always be inferior to Sister Ran. Even if I had a son, I would only be killed by others. I didn't mention Mother with her, so she thought that Mother and I were the same."
This is not the first time this has happened.
The reason why Wei suddenly mentioned this matter was probably because Sister Ran had been back home for a long time, which made Wei feel a sense of crisis, so she was anxious to consolidate her daughter's position.
Asking Ah He to be a concubine in the Wei family was naturally for Ning Ran's sake. However, this time, treating other people's daughters as pawns for the sake of one's own daughter inevitably made people feel that it was too selfish.
Zhang has always been inferior to her, and her daughter has to be humble in front of Ning Ran. She is unwilling to accept this, but not for Ning He's sake, but because she feels humiliated.
Only a useless mother would take her anger out on her children.
"If Dongzhu hadn't discovered it in time, you don't know what would have happened this time." Ning Fu still felt scared when she thought of her collapsed on the ground.
"How's my aunt?" Ning He asked nervously.
Nymph paused.
Ning He is soft-hearted and has some feelings for her biological mother. She would not want to see Zhang being severely punished, otherwise she would not have concealed the fact that Zhang had taken action this time. But it would not do if Zhang did not learn her lesson, otherwise there would be a next time.
However, how to deal with Zhang was also a difficult problem. Wei hated her and might take the opportunity to deal with her. She might not have the chance to return home in the future. As a member of the second wife, if she interfered in the affairs of the first wife, it would be overstepping her boundaries.
What's more, if he wanted to touch Zhang, she was Ah He's biological mother after all. If anything happened to Zhang, Ah He might have a grudge against him in the future, and that would be a thankless task.
Ning Fu thought about it carefully and decided that this matter would probably have to be handled by her aunt, but someone would also need to help Zhang.
"Now that Aunt Zhang has made a mistake, your aunt, as the mistress, naturally cannot tolerate Aunt Zhang," she said.
Ning He had tears in her eyes and whispered, "Mother doesn't like Auntie and will not let her go. If Auntie is sent to the villa, she will never come back in this life. I also know that Auntie is wrong and she should be punished, but in the villa, there is no guarantee that she can survive."
Even if he was murdered, there is no evidence.
"You should write a letter to your uncle, and ask him to take care of your aunt, and maybe that will be better." Ning Fu said intentionally or unintentionally.
Ning He did as he was told.
Ning Fu did not disturb Ning He's rest. After leaving the garden, the nanny beside Wei said with a smile: "Fourth Miss, the eldest lady invites you to come over and sit down."
She followed the nanny to Wei's place. Now that Zhang was in trouble, Wei couldn't hide the smile between her eyebrows. Zhang was favored and flamboyant. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to tolerate it.
However, if Nymph is the mistress, she will not want this husband.
And the purpose of my aunt asking me to come here was naturally not simple.
I'm afraid he wants to get the second wife involved in this matter.
