Ning Nuonuo had never been so happy; she was actually able to eat a whole plate of dumplings.
You know, she had never eaten so many dumplings at once in her entire life, especially dumplings with meat in them.
At the most crucial moment, the dumpling was still made of white flour, it was made of white flour.
Seeing Ning Nuonuo wolfing down her food, Ning Hong searched the mall for some digestive medicine, thinking that she would definitely have indigestion later.
"It's so delicious." After swallowing the last dumpling on the plate, Ning Nuonuo rubbed her full belly, her face beaming with happiness.
What a pitiful child, a plate of dumplings is enough to bring such a happy smile to her face.
This family is truly too poor.
Ning Hong then put down the chopsticks of varying lengths.
With the weather so cold, they not only need food, but also something to keep warm; a single piece of space cotton is far from enough.
Perhaps, when the weather clears up a bit, he can go to town to take a look.
"Brother, did Father send these dumplings too?"
"I guess so."
"What else did Father send over?"
"Hmm, I'm not sure. These are the only things I delivered today."
Ning Hong lied without batting an eye, saying, "Maybe some more will be sent over tomorrow."
"Brother, do you think it's possible that the blankets he receives down there are all made of paper, which is why the cotton blankets he sends us are so thin?"
Ning Hongze: "??????"
How should I put this?
That seems to make some sense.
However, Ning Nuonuo finally discovered something: although the quilt was very thin, it was very warm. She had never slept under such a warm quilt before.
"Brother, this life is so comfortable." Ning Nuonuo said with a joyful expression.
She hadn't had much hope for the quilt her father had sent from the underworld, so this was quite unexpected.
“Dad only remembered the Ning family before he died. I thought he didn’t care about us. I didn’t expect that he would still remember us.” Ning Nuonuo thought sadly.
“Your brother is here.” Ning Hong then touched Ning Nuonuo’s dry hair.
A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
While he was unconscious, he had already received all the memories of this body.
Unlike the previous mission where I only received some memories, this time I received them all clearly.
The mission of this world is to protect the girl in front of us and prevent her from following the path she took in her past life.
From the moment Ning Nuonuo was born, she was someone neither her father nor her mother loved.
Only her brother has been taking care of her.
Later, her father's fate became unknown, and her mother remarried, leaving her and her brother, two children, to live a life of hunger and hardship.
Although life was tough, she was still full of confidence in the future because of her brother. But then another unexpected event occurred.
In an attempt to reclaim their family's three acres of land, her brother Ning Hong got into a fight with her uncle. He was pushed by her uncle and fell onto a rock. Although he struggled for two days, he still died.
With the help of the villagers, Ning Nuonuo arranged Ning Hongze's funeral.
From then on, her brother was gone too, leaving Ning Nuonuo alone to live in this thatched hut.
Even so, her uncle did not let her go.
While her brother was still alive, she knelt before her uncle in public to beg for a bag of coarse grains so that he could have some food. Although her brother did not survive, her uncle held a grudge against her for it.
Not long after Ning Hongze was buried, he sold Ning Nuonuo.
The money from the sale was just what his son needed for his exams.
Ning Nuonuo was malnourished and not good-looking at the moment, which is why she escaped this ordeal. If she were good-looking, her uncle would probably have sold her to those filthy places.
She changed hands many times but failed to sell herself. In the end, she ended up in the capital and became a kitchen maid in the Ministry of Personnel's residence.
Although every day is hard work, for Ning Nuonuo, this kind of life is already very good. She can eat her fill every day and has new clothes to wear.
Ning Nuonuo is very satisfied.
But things are not that simple.
The Minister of Personnel had one wife and three concubines. He was a law-abiding man, and these three concubines were arranged for him by his wife.
His two sons and one daughter were born to his wife, and of his three concubines, only one concubine gave birth to a daughter for him.
This daughter, Liang Huixue, is the female protagonist of this book.
Liang Huixue was originally a concubine's daughter, but when Ning Nuonuo was sold to the Minister's mansion, this Liang Huixue was no longer the original Liang Huixue.
This is a modern white-collar worker who traveled through time, yearning for a lifelong, monogamous relationship.
The wife of the Minister of Rites was not a kind person, as evidenced by the fact that only one of her three concubines gave birth to a daughter.
Moreover, Liang Huixue's aunt was a maid who accompanied the Minister's wife during her dowry.
Liang Huixue's aunt, Huifang, already had someone she loved. She didn't want to be a aunt, but since the contract of indenture was in the hands of the madam, she had no choice but to obey the madam's orders.
She already had someone she loved, so naturally she wouldn't try to win the Minister's favor.
Ironically, the person this Aunt Hui liked was Ning Nuonuo's father, Ning Sheng.
Of course, Ning Sheng didn't die. The reason he disappeared was to find his beloved Hui Fang, who had been sold by her parents. The two lovers, upon reuniting, were naturally reluctant to part.
Liang Huixue felt particularly sorry for them. With Liang Huixue's help, Huifang successfully left the Minister's Mansion and married Ning Sheng. As for herself, she married the Sixth Prince.
Ning Nuonuo was chosen by the Minister's wife as part of her dowry. After seeing the handsome appearance of the Sixth Prince, Ning Nuonuo's heart was filled with turmoil. Originally, she only wanted to be his maid, but she was constantly instigated by the people in her room to climb into his bed.
After entering the Minister's residence, Ning Nuonuo ate her fill, her nutrition improved, and her delicate beauty began to show. This was one of the reasons why the Minister's wife chose her.
Ning Nuonuo had no one to care for her since childhood. She and her brothers had already tried everything to get enough to eat, so no one had taught her these things. When she heard the maid who came with her say that becoming a concubine would mean being able to eat and drink to her heart's content and wear beautiful clothes, she was naturally tempted and then actually climbed into the bed.
She was beaten to death by the enraged Sixth Prince. Little did she know that the maidservant in her room was arranged by Liang Huixue for two purposes: first, to get rid of the people sent by the Minister's wife, and second, to test the Sixth Prince.
She was very satisfied with the Sixth Prince's performance.
When Ning Nuonuo was dragged out of the Prince's mansion while she was still barely alive, she saw Ning Sheng holding Huifang's hand, chatting and laughing as they stepped into the mansion.
Ning Sheng hesitated for a moment when he saw Ning Nuonuo, but only for a moment, before quickly forgetting about her.
