If Shen Yu really succeeds, I'm afraid that apart from marrying him...she really has only one way to go!
She stretched out her hand to Qingqu and said, "Help me up, I'll go see her."
Qingqu frowned and muttered, "She has hurt you like this..." But she did not go against Yining's wishes and helped her up.
Zhao Mingzhu saw the door in front of her open. Luo Yining was standing there. Her face was as pale as snow. The light from the lantern shone on her, and her slender neck seemed as if it would break if she exerted too much force. Perhaps because of what happened to Shen Yu, her whole body was filled with a kind of stunning beauty, which was actually very dangerous, because this kind of beauty made people want to destroy or suppress it and possess it. If no one protected her, I don’t know how difficult it would be. Her expression was much colder than usual. She slowly walked to Zhao Mingzhu, squatted down, and said softly: "Do you feel that you have been wronged?"
Zhao Mingzhu took a deep breath and whispered, "I did show him the way... but I really didn't know he would do such a thing!"
Before she finished speaking, Yi Ning sneered and asked: "Don't you want me to marry Shen Yu? It would be great if I married him. If I marry into the Zhongqin Marquis's Mansion, you can stay in the Duke of Ying's Mansion." People who are good at being ridden are good at being ridden. No matter what, she was plotted against and resurrected. How could she not understand the thoughts of this little girl Zhao Mingzhu. "Do you know what it feels like to be almost raped?"
There were still tears in the corners of Zhao Mingzhu's eyes, and her lips moved slightly: "I... I didn't like you at first. But I really didn't mean it..."
Yining suddenly started coughing, and Qingqu came to help her. Her headache was throbbing and she felt dizzy.
Wei Ling and his group came over and saw Yining standing at the door, unable to stand steadily. Wei Ling walked over and picked her up, walked into the door and put her on the Luohan bed.
Then Zhao Mingzhu was called in.
She knelt on the ground and saw Wei Ling's cold expression, and she couldn't help crying: "Uncle Wei Ling, I really didn't mean it... How dare I do such a thing!"
"The old lady has taken good care of you." Wei Ling felt distressed when he saw the shocking red marks on the girl's thin wrist. He continued, "I won't make things difficult for you. Pack up your things and go back tomorrow. The Duke of Yingguo's mansion can't keep you any longer."
Zhao Mingzhu heard what she feared most and cried as she pulled Wei Ling's sleeve. "Uncle Wei Ling! Sister Yining was murdered, and I'm heartbroken... I won't dare to do that again. From now on, whatever Sister Yining says is what I'll do!" She cried like a child, her usual arrogance gone. "Please don't let me go back. I don't want to go back!"
Wei Ling had seen life and death on the battlefield, and was a man of the most cold-hearted. Furthermore, his daughter, who had nearly met with misfortune, lay beside him. He didn't even stir.
Seeing this, Zhao Mingzhu immediately stumbled over to pull at Old Lady Wei's skirt. Old Lady Wei closed her eyes and turned her head away. She wiped her tears and said, "...Grandma, I know I'm not the Duke of Ying's biological child. But I grew up with you! When I was little and just arrived, I didn't dare to eat the fruit on the table, but you told me... I could take anything in the mansion and no one would blame me." She cried as she spoke, "When Grandfather first died, you cried all night long. I was afraid you'd hurt your eyes, so I crawled into your bed to sleep and cheer you up..."
Old Mrs. Wei didn't say anything, but her hands were shaking a little.
Zhao Mingzhu seemed not to notice, and choked with tears, saying, "Now you don't want me anymore, you want me to go back! But my father is like that, and the situation at home... What should I do if I go back? Are you so cruel? If you didn't want me in the first place, why bother bringing me here..."
"That should have been your home." Wei Ling said calmly, "not the Duke of Ying's Mansion."
"Wei Ling, please stop talking." Old Mrs. Wei finally couldn't hold back her tears. Tears streamed down her wrinkled face. She seemed to have aged a lot. She took a deep breath and said, "Mingzhu can't leave."
Wei Ling frowned and stood up immediately.
Old Mrs. Wei waved her hand. "Don't be so quick to blame me. I know everything." She sat down and said, "Mingzhu was spoiled by me. Even if she has a temper, it's because of me. When she came here, she was so little and kept clamoring to go back to see her mother... But I didn't want her to go back, so I spoiled her blindly. Now she's grown up. She's not a kitten or a puppy that can be thrown away at will. That family would be ruined if she went back. She can't go back."
"And she didn't do it on purpose." Mrs. Wei said, "Mingzhu never thought Shen Yu would do such a thing."
Old Madam Wei looked at Yining: "Yining, if grandma says so, leaving Mingzhu behind...will you blame me?"
Yi Ning closed her eyes and said nothing. She knew what Old Madam Wei was thinking. She had been lonely for so many years, with Zhao Mingzhu as her only companion. Zhao Mingzhu's words had just made her feel either guilty or pity. These were all emotions in her heart. She could understand Old Madam Wei, but this had happened to her...she couldn't sympathize with Zhao Mingzhu either.
After hearing this, Zhao Mingzhu hugged Old Lady Wei's legs and cried. She was really scared and kept shaking.
"Mother, Yining is your granddaughter." Wei Ling said this lightly.
Old Mrs. Wei knew that it was impossible for Wei Ling to let Zhao Mingzhu go.
She said, "Mingzhu cannot escape responsibility for what happened to Yining, and I will not protect her." Old Madam Wei continued, "I just discussed this with Yihui. From now on, there will only be Yining in the mansion. Mingzhu is just a cousin, merely staying at the Duke's Mansion temporarily. All of Mingzhu's expenses will be managed similarly. She will move from Fangshan to my side room, and I will personally look after her. She won't have her own courtyard anymore. If she does anything wrong again, I won't have to tell you, I will personally kick her out."
