Yi Ning smiled bitterly. Actually, she hadn't done anything wrong in handling the matter. Although she wasn't as thoughtful as Old Lady Luo, if she was to be held responsible, it was all due to her.
Yi Ning said in a childish voice, "On the one hand, I thought that if I told Grandmother, Fourth Sister would definitely blame me."
——Actually, we saw it all just now. Even though Yi Ning clearly wasn't the one who leaked it, Luo Yiyu still hated her so much. If she really knew it was her who leaked it, Luo Yiyu would have eaten her alive. Chen Shi would definitely not be kind to her either.
Hearing this, Luo Yiyu looked at Yining who was kneeling.
Yi Ning continued, "Besides, Grandma is not in good health, and Yi Ning wants to avoid upsetting her..."
Hearing Yi Ning's childish voice, each word clearly emphasized, and the surroundings were so quiet, Mrs. Luo closed her eyes tightly, almost tears welling up in her eyes, and clenched the rosary in her hands.
Mrs. Luo said after a while: "So you told your fourth sister, wanting to stop her, right?"
Yi Ning nodded and said hesitantly, "That day... I was afraid others would hear it, so I asked Fourth Sister to go somewhere else and tell her. I told her I wouldn't tell anyone and asked her not to continue. Fourth Sister also agreed to me at the time..."
When Chen heard what Yining said, she felt a little scared.
Luo Yining had done nothing wrong; she was doing it for Luo Yiyu's own good. She was still so young, so what she did made sense. Just now, when she walked in, Luo Yiyu had been accusing her. She had even thought that Luo Yining was the one who had leaked the information.
In fact, she is so innocent and wronged.
Old Mrs. Luo sighed inwardly. She knew this child had a kind heart. She hadn't misjudged her, nor had she wrongly loved her. But it was precisely because of her love that she had to punish Yining today.
Today's incident seemed to be solely due to the note Luo Yiyu had written to Cheng Lang. But if one looked deeper, it was Luo Yiyu's dissatisfaction with her favoritism towards Yi Ning. Couldn't other people have similar dissatisfaction? She had to do something today to show those people a good lesson!
Mrs. Luo made up her mind, calmed down, and continued to say to Yining, "Then do you know where you went wrong?"
Yi Ning looked at Mrs. Luo's red eyes. She was still a little confused: "I...I really don't know!"
Lin Hairu couldn't bear to listen any longer. She looked at the little child kneeling there alone, while Chen was hugging Luo Yiyu next to her. She knelt down as well and said, "Grandma, we have to be reasonable in everything. What did Yi Ning do wrong that you want her to admit it? I don't believe it. Yi Ning has made so many plans for Luo Yiyu, so how could she be wrong?"
Luo Yixiu had just come in, and although she didn't understand what had happened, she quickly nodded because what Yi Ning had said made sense and said, "Yes, what did Yi Ning do wrong?"
"Her mistake was knowing the truth but keeping it to herself, thinking she could solve the problem on her own. To avoid hurting Yi Yu's reputation, she insisted on telling her privately. Instead, Luo Yi Yu wrongly accused her and caused so much trouble!" Old Lady Luo looked at the bewildered expression on Yining's face. She fought back the tears and said firmly, "Punish Yining to kneel in the ancestral hall for two hours. Send her there now!"
Hearing this, how could Chen not understand that although Mrs. Luo punished Yining, her words were clearly directed at Luo Yiyu. She was not blaming Luo Yining, but Luo Yiyu!
The old lady was venting her anger! If Yi Ning was really punished, they would never know how to owe Yi Ning in the future.
She was so scared that she quickly pleaded, "Old lady, no matter who you blame for this, you can't blame Yi Ning! She really didn't deserve the punishment. I can't thank Yi Ning enough! This is all Yi Yu's fault. Just punish Yi Yu!"
Luo Chengzhang felt that every word Yi Ning said made sense, so he felt a little reluctant: "Mother, Yi Ning is clearly innocent this time, why are you punishing her..."
Mrs. Luo closed her eyes tightly and suddenly said, "Mother Xu, why don't you take her there quickly!"
Mother Xu sighed and went forward to help Yining go to the ancestral hall.
Yining turned around and saw clearly that Mrs. Luo's face was covered with tears. Her nose felt sore and she couldn't stop crying.
The small figure disappeared at the door of the main hall.
When Old Mrs. Luo saw her disappear, she almost burst into tears and sobbed uncontrollably.
She calmed down a bit before saying, "Luo Yiyu is no longer allowed to walk around freely. Someone must be watching over her. She must practice needlework for two hours every day, and spend the rest of the time learning etiquette from the teaching nanny."
Luo Yiyu could no longer cry, her eyes were swollen like peach pits. She watched Yining disappear into the distance, then stood up and answered.
Old Lady Luo glanced at the people standing in the main hall and said coldly, "Yining has no mother, so I will pamper her more. You all have opinions, so I will be stricter with her in the future. Are you satisfied?"
Without waiting for these people to speak, Mrs. Luo stood up and asked Mrs. Xu to help her down.
She looked tired and old, as if she had experienced a catastrophe.
Several people quickly pleaded for Yining, saying that the child was innocent and should not be punished any further, but Mrs. Luo had already walked away.
Lin Hairu hardened her heart and stubbornly walked out of the main hall and headed towards the ancestral hall. Ruixiang, the maid beside her, quickly chased after her and held her back, "Madam, Madam, you can't go!"
Mrs. Luo seemed to be punishing Yi Ning, but in reality, she was thinking of her. Kneel down, so what? Two hours is no big deal.
Fortunately, Lin Hairu was persuaded by the maid to go back. Luo Chengzhang happened to want to ask her about what happened today, so they went back together.
Luo Yiyu was taken back by Chen to reflect on his actions, and he didn't say a word along the way.
