Yining looked up at Old Lady Wei and said softly, "Yining didn't grow up by your side, so it's only right that you pity Mingzhu, the girl you raised. You once told me about the story of Kong Rong giving up his pears, and now I think it's true. I agreed to keep her, not because I'm kind-hearted, but because you wanted her to stay."
Old Mrs. Wei's eyes welled up when she heard this: "What about Kong Rong giving up his pears? I was wrong! It's my fault! Grandma will never say these words to you again..."
She wanted to touch Yining's head, but Yining avoided her hand, sighed and said, "Grandma, I have a headache and want to rest for a while."
Mrs. Wei was stunned. Zhao Mingzhu quickly took the cakes she had brought and gave them to Yining: "Sister Yining, this... is for you."
Ting'er's voice came from outside the door: "Sister! I don't know where I put my tangram..."
When Zhao Mingzhu saw Tingge'er coming in, she immediately handed him a snack and said with a smile, "Tingge'er, I haven't seen you for a long time! Come and try this and see if it's delicious."
Unexpectedly, Ting'er stopped in front of her. With a faint smile on his face, he asked in confusion, "Sister Mingzhu, didn't you tell me that if I get too close to Sister Yining, she would take my things away, and that I shouldn't get too close to her? Why... Sister Mingzhu, aren't you afraid that your things will be taken away?"
As soon as Ting'er said this, Mrs. Wei's expression changed immediately. Yi Ning was also a little surprised and looked at Ting'er.
Zhao Mingzhu was so flustered that the snacks in her hand fell to the ground. She said quickly, "Brother Ting... I... I never said anything like that! Don't talk nonsense!"
Ting'er, however, innocently leaned into Old Lady Wei's arms, tugged at her sleeve and said, "Grandma, you taught me not to lie since I was a child, and I never lie!" He said, "I'm afraid it will be like what Sister Mingzhu said, so I've never dared to get close to her..."
Old Mrs. Wei was so angry that her hands began to tremble. She said, "Okay, I know. Our Ting-ge'er never lies!"
She suddenly stood up and said to Yining, "Yining, I'm going back today. I'll come to see you another day." She seemed to feel guilty if she looked at her any longer and walked straight out.
Zhao Mingzhu didn't even have time to pick up the snacks and hurriedly followed her.
She had just taken two steps to catch up with Old Lady Wei when she suddenly stopped. She looked at her coldly and said, "I have spoiled you and indulged you, but I have never taught you to harm or instigate others. And you actually instigated Ting'er to stay away from Yining? What kind of heart do you have? What else have you done that I don't know about?"
Zhao Mingzhu had no way to refute her and anxiously tried to pull her back: "Grandma...I know all that was wrong...I know everything!"
Old Madam Wei waved her hand away, helped Mother Song into the sedan chair, and said coldly, "Lift the sedan chair."
Zhao Mingzhu followed behind Old Lady Wei's sedan chair, crying and chasing until she could hardly breathe, and finally collapsed on the road.
No one dared to help her. Everyone in the Duke of Ying's mansion knew that she was now a cousin. She had just been disliked by the Duke of Ying, and now she was disliked by Old Madam Wei. Staying in the Duke of Ying's mansion was just a way to make a living.
Most of the maids who served her were sold by Wei Ling. Only Su Xi and a few others were kept, but no one dared to help her.
How to treat this cousin Mingzhu now probably depends on the expressions of Wei Ling and Yi Ning. After all, they are the real masters, and this one is no longer.
In the room, Yi Ning pulled Ting Ge'er over and asked him, "Did you think of those words just now?"
Ting Ge'er stretched out his chubby little hand and placed it on her shoulder and said, "I know she bullied you... I'm telling the truth! I'll bully her in the future too. She's not my sister, you are!" His expression was a little unnatural, but his tone was firm, "Anyway, you're my only sister."
Yining smiled when she heard that, hugged him and kissed him.
"Sister likes Ting'er." Yining said to him, "When our Ting'er grows up, he will definitely be a powerful general."
The little brat's face turned red, and he sat in her arms shyly, but this time he had no intention of struggling.
Wei Ling nearly crushed his teacup when he heard this from Zhenzhu. He exhaled slowly and said, "Tell everyone around her from now on that a booklet of her cousin's words and deeds is written down for your review. If anyone is inappropriate, kick them out immediately!"
Zhenzhu bowed and responded, then went to give instructions to Zhao Mingzhu.
When Old Lady Wei heard this, she was chanting Buddhist scriptures, praying for the old Duke of England. She closed her eyes and said, "...Let Wei Ling go."
