Yongning has never been treated like this before.
She was spoiled growing up, and she made all the decisions at home. Later, she also felt that she was the eldest sister in the family and everyone should listen to her.
But now, she is being harassed by a maid.
Thinking of this, Yongning was overcome with grief...
Seeing Yongning lost in thought, the maid's face darkened immediately. "Auntie, I'm telling you how to do your duty as an auntie, why aren't you listening?"
Yongning awoke from her grief, exclaiming, "How can anyone live here? How could you treat me like this behind Nalan's back?"
The maid sneered, no longer looking at her crying. Only the young master would watch her cry. Who else would want to?
No, even the son-in-law doesn't want to anymore.
"Auntie, please stay here and remember to get up early tomorrow to pay your respects to the old lady and my young lady."
Yongning collapsed to the ground, staring at the desolate courtyard, utterly at a loss for what to do.
At first glance, it was overgrown with weeds.
The window was broken. She cried herself to sleep, her heart aching, but still no one came to help.
She could only stand up, walk over, and push open the door, which was covered in dust.
She frowned, fanned herself in front of her nose, and then went inside.
Once inside, there was a musty smell, and within a second, she ran out and vomited.
How can anyone live in such a place?
She stood up, wanting to go out, but when she pushed open the door, there were people guarding outside.
“Aunt, please go back. You cannot leave here.”
Yongning was pushed back and the door was closed again.
"Let me out! Let me out!"
Yongning kept banging on the door, "Let me out, Brother Nalan, Brother Nalan!"
Yongning kept calling out to Brother Nalan, but to no avail.
Brother Nalan...
Why did you do this to me?
Why did you hurt me like this?
Yongning sat on the ground.
It started to rain.
It just landed on her.
She didn't move, just sat in the rain, letting the raindrops hit her.
Her clothes were all wet, but she didn't care...
She believed that her brother Nalan would come, he definitely would.
He said he would never hurt her again, nor would he ever make her sad again.
She's getting soaked in the rain now, and her brother Nalan will definitely come to protect her.
Unfortunately, she was overthinking it.
At this moment, Mo Yan is reading a book.
Looking at the heavy rain outside, I asked someone to bring me tea. It was nice to drink tea while watching the rain.
Mo Xi followed along.
"Sister, I heard she was sent to the small courtyard."
Yes, there are still people in the Nalan household who know Yongning's movements.
"Oh, that's good. It lets her see just how much her true love really loves her."
Mo Yan looked at Mo Xi, "Xi'er, are you heartbroken? If you are, then it's not that I can't go to my royal uncle..."
It's important to know that Yongning's movements were known not only to them, but also to the emperor.
If Yongning doesn't suffer, how can the Emperor and Empress Dowager be content?
In Mo Yan's opinion, Yong Ning's current situation is mainly due to his mother.
"No, I just feel that we should get her dowry back too. We can't just give it all to that family, can we?"
Feeling sorry for Yongning? How could that be?
What she did, for whatever reason, disgusted them and they could never forgive her in this lifetime.
"I don't want her to die, but I also don't want her to live with dignity."
Mo Yan gently rubbed his head; she understood, she understood Mo Xi's conflicted feelings.
He hated Yongning for what she had done, but he couldn't bring himself to watch her die...
"Don't worry, we'll definitely get that dowry back, but not now."
Mo Yan looked at Mo Xi and smiled at him, "You're just too impatient."
Mo Xi was a little embarrassed and scratched her head. "Well, I'm stupid. You made it to the finals, sister."
“Yes, we’ve made it to the finals.” Mo Yan nodded, glancing at the military manual. “Once I win first place, it’ll be time to put an end to everything. What do you think about me taking Nalan to war?”
Mo Xi: "???"
"Sister?"
Mo Xi didn't understand why her older sister wanted to take Nalan with her.
"Sister, you're not going to help him earn military merits, are you?"
Mo Yan: "???"
Mo Yan blinked, suddenly doubting her younger brother's intelligence. "Kid, you're still too young. Do you think I can let him get away with this?"
Mo Xi seemed to be deep in thought. "So, sister, you're going to frame him?"
Mo Yan: "..."
Mo Yan silently took out a feather duster. "I think you deserve a beating. Do you think I'm that insidious? As a general, isn't going to the battlefield a matter of course?"
But would Naland dare to go?
Mo Xi: "..."
"Sister, don't get agitated, don't get agitated..."
Okay, little Mo Xi's bottom is all bruised and battered.
Yongning waited all night.
The rain stopped, but she was still in the yard.
She woke up the next day.
She thought it was all a dream, and that when she woke up, everything would be back to normal. She would still be a princess, and her brother Nalan would still love her.
However……
After waking up, she was dragged to serve Ningxi.
She was forced to watch Nalan emerge from Ningxi's room.
Ningxi gave Nalan a heads-up early on, saying, "I was thinking of setting rules for Yongning. If she follows the rules well, the Emperor might be happy. You can't refuse just because you feel sorry for her."
