"Lemon Dream, when do you plan to let Red Smoke leave the small Buddhist hall?"
Get straight to the point, without any beating around the bush.
Huang Ningmeng stood up, looked directly at her, and said in a slightly cold voice, "Madam is indeed very concerned about Hongyan."
The Prime Minister's wife frowned slightly. "We are in a temple now, observing vegetarianism and chanting Buddhist prayers. Shouldn't we be compassionate? Hongyan has made a mistake; isn't it enough to keep her locked up for so long?"
Huang Ningmeng smirked, "Tell me, what happened to her this time?"
The Prime Minister's wife was startled. Huang Ningmeng had guessed what she hadn't revealed at all. When did she become so clever?
Oh no, she had to advise her daughter to be careful, otherwise she would definitely fall into her trap.
"She's fine."
Huang Ning dreamt that she wouldn't admit it, and said with a forced smile, "Alright, since nothing's wrong, then stay in the small Buddhist hall. When we return to the Prime Minister's residence, we'll have a small carriage to take you back separately."
"You!" Even the Prime Minister's wife couldn't back down in the face of the ruthless Huang Ningmeng; her weakness was in Huang Ningmeng's hands. At this moment, she truly regretted sending her daughter into the hands of this devil.
“If there’s nothing else, Madam, please return. I haven’t had breakfast yet.” Huang Ningmeng calmly walked towards the soft couch.
The Prime Minister's wife grabbed her, "You haven't had breakfast, and I haven't had breakfast either! How can you be so disrespectful to your elders? Today I will teach you a lesson on behalf of my husband!"
After saying that, he raised his hand and slapped Huang Ningmeng.
"Miss!" Rong Yin's eyes widened.
"Madam!" Qingluo was also startled.
However, the imagined voice did not appear.
Huang Ningmeng quickly raised her hand and grabbed the Prime Minister's wife's wrist, which was raised in the air. Her gaze was sharp. "Do you really think I can't deal with you?"
The Prime Minister's wife was intimidated by her sharp gaze.
Huang Ningmeng easily broke free from the Prime Minister's wife's grasp and gave her a hard shove, causing the Prime Minister's wife to lose her balance and fall to the ground.
"How dare you push me?" The Prime Minister's wife pointed at herself in disbelief, looking at Huang Ningmeng.
"You've already done it, and you still have to ask a question. How could my father have married such a stupid woman like you?" Huang Ningmeng shook her head regretfully.
"You!" The Prime Minister's wife was furious.
"Madam, please don't be angry anymore. This is inside Yuanjue Temple; it won't sound good if word gets out." Qingluo stepped forward to help her up.
"What's so bad about it? She's not afraid, so why should I be?" The Prime Minister's wife was furious.
Huang Ningmeng glanced at Qingluo with some surprise. Her words seemed to be advising the woman, but in fact, they were helping her just right.
Qinglu patted the Prime Minister's wife on the back to calm her down, unaware of the gaze Huang Ningmeng cast at her. "Madam, we can't disregard the Master's reputation."
"My lord." The Prime Minister's wife has regained consciousness.
"Yes, sir." Qingluo dared not say too much, lest the madam overthink things, which would backfire.
Qingluo completely grasped the key point that the Prime Minister's wife cared about, and sure enough, she stopped making a fuss as soon as the Prime Minister was mentioned.
Qingluo helped her tidy up her clothes.
The Prime Minister's wife looked at Huang Ningmeng but didn't see her. Then she turned her head and saw her sitting on the soft couch.
Rongyin, having received her instructions, had just stepped out the door.
"Ningmeng, Hongyan's leg is injured. Just let her out. If she's not properly treated, how will she serve you in the future?" The Prime Minister's wife finally softened her tone.
Huang Ningmeng straightened her sleeves and said calmly, "Wouldn't it have been better to tell the truth earlier? You can take the person away."
The Prime Minister's wife...
"By the way, you can keep Hongyan for now. I don't want to see her before I get back to the Prime Minister's residence."
The Prime Minister's wife snorted coldly and turned away.
Before following, Qingluo glanced at Huang Ningmeng.
When Huang Ningmeng looked over, she looked up and met her gaze, giving her a slight smile.
Qingluo turned around and followed the Prime Minister's wife. The young lady was indeed different from before.
The ring chuckled knowingly, "Master, she's trying to curry favor with me."
"I know."
"Does the master want to know the reason?"
Huang Ningmeng was slightly taken aback. Could it be that it wasn't the reason she thought it was?
What's the reason?
"Yesterday, with bandits in sight, your shout of 'Stop!' saved her life. But before you even spoke, the Prime Minister's wife had already pushed her out." The ring clicked its tongue in disbelief, "The most terrifying thing in the world is the human heart."
Huang Ningmeng was standing too far back yesterday, so she only knew that the bandits raised their knives, but she wasn't sure who they were pointing them at.
It turned out to be a green ivy.
Huang Ningmeng laughed and said, "What she pushed out wasn't just people."
Now that her trusted confidante Qingluo has lost her heart, she probably won't help her do evil anymore.
...
The Prime Minister's wife quickly walked back to her room.
She had already brought Hongyan out before going to the west room.
She didn't want to see Huang Ningmeng at first, but Hongyan persuaded her to go.
The Prime Minister's wife always comes back angry every time she talks to Huang Ningmeng, which has given her a psychological trauma.
"Yan'er, how are you?"
The Prime Minister's wife called out as soon as she entered the room.
Seeing Qingluo following behind her, Hongyan pretended to get out of bed.
"Yan'er, lie still!" The Prime Minister's wife quickly went over and helped her up.
Hongyan gave her a wink and began to act, her voice choked with emotion, "Madam, what good deeds did I do in my past life to meet such a wonderful person as you?"
"Silly girl, what are you saying?" The Prime Minister's wife said softly, then turned to Qingluo, "Go ask the abbot if there is anyone here who knows medicine."
"Yes." Qingluo turned and walked out without changing her expression.
Hongyan only rushed into the Prime Minister's wife's arms after she had walked away.
The Prime Minister's wife patted her head affectionately, "Yan'er, you've suffered."
"Mother, this is the only way I can get out." Hongyan looked at her injured leg, a strange light flashing in her eyes.
If it weren't for what happened last night, she wouldn't have needed to injure her leg at all.
Fortunately, it wasn't a serious injury, and I should feel much better after today.
"You child, you do things too extremely," the Prime Minister's wife sighed.
“Huang Ningmeng is more difficult to deal with than we imagined. Mother, are you planning to marry her off to Jiang Sheng?” Hongyan asked.
The Prime Minister's wife shook her head. "My husband will definitely not agree to this, and Huang Ningmeng certainly won't want to marry him either."
“Mother, you’re wrong. Huang Ningmeng is really fond of that scholar,” Hongyan said.
The Prime Minister's wife was somewhat surprised. "Yan'er, how did you know?"
“I’ve been following Huang Ningmeng for so long, and she’s made it very clear whether she likes Jiang Sheng or not, and she hasn’t been hiding it from me.” Hongyan’s eyes flickered slightly. She was actually afraid of Huang Ningmeng, and she didn’t dare to tell her the truth about the specifics.
She realized that her mother was no match for Huang Ningmeng. The only way to bring Huang Ningmeng down was for her to do it herself.
"It's a good thing I didn't agree, otherwise wouldn't that have been giving her what she wanted?" The Prime Minister's wife patted her chest with lingering fear.
"Mother, don't worry, I have my own way of dealing with her. Just wait and see."
