Chapter 161: The one who loves money is the rebellious girl
Nan Yuanxiang has liked collecting things related to money since she was a child, such as bracelets, longevity locks, gold, silver, jade and so on.
She collected a box of them herself.
It’s not because she likes these things that she collects them, but because she is particularly sensitive to things related to money.
She can also remember clearly what people around her say is valuable, what is worthless, and how much it is worth.
This is probably the nature of people who are good at business, and has nothing to do with whether they love money or not.
Nan Shuwen did not understand Nan Yuanxiang's nature, so he naturally assumed that Nan Yuanxiang liked to collect valuable things purely because she was obsessed with money and was greedy.
For this reason, many years ago, he confiscated a box of valuables collected by Nan Yuanxiang and reduced her monthly allowance. As a result, Nan Yuanxiang, a legitimate daughter of the Nan family, lived a less respectable life than a concubine's daughter.
At this moment, he scolded Nan Yuanxiang for taking the bracelet from her mother's hand, and he also scolded Nan Yuanxiang for her love of money.
Nan Yuanxiang felt aggrieved, but she said nothing. She insisted on helping her mother take off the bracelet.
Seeing this, Nan Shuwen pointed at Nan Yuanxiang and cursed: "Those who love money more than their lives are rebellious women."
"How come my Nan family gave birth to someone like you?"
"With so many people watching, where can I, your father, put my face?"
"Do you want outsiders to say that your father didn't teach his daughter well, that your mother's life is in danger, and that your daughter only cares about money and reputation?"
"Oh..." Nan Shuwen slapped his thigh, glanced at everyone in the room, and looked helpless.
"Go, bring the second young lady here for me?" Nan Shuwen: "Don't let her pick at the bracelet on her mother's hand again."
Nan Shuwen is very concerned about his reputation, and today many people gathered around Nan Yuanxiang's mother, Li.
There were doctors, people who helped with exorcism, Nan’s grandmother, concubines, and a bunch of people, all watching.
Nan Shuwen really can't afford to lose face.
Nan Yuanxiang was pulled back by two servants.
Nan Yuanxiang didn't want to leave. She looked at her mother who was talking nonsense, drooling, and moving her hands and feet around on the bed. She struggled constantly, trying to break free from the servant's hand.
She also said, "Dad, it's not that I love money, it's that the bracelet that mom is wearing is problematic."
"As long as I take that bracelet, my mother will stop being crazy and stop talking nonsense."
"Mother is getting better."
"Haha." Nan Shuwen said with disdain, "It's just a bracelet, how could it possibly drive someone crazy?"
"Besides, the bracelet is made of excellent material, and Zou gave it to your mother as a birthday gift from her own dowry."
"Your mother has been wearing it for several months and there were no problems before. How could there be a problem now?"
"It can't be the bracelet."
Zou was Nan Shuwen's concubine. Nan Shuwen doted on Zou for many years, and he also doted on Zou's daughter, Nan Baolin.
At this moment, he naturally spoke for Zou and did not believe Nan Yuanxiang.
Nan Yuanxiang said: "What I said is true, Dad, do you believe me?"
Zou bit her lip, swayed her body, and testified to Nan Shuwen, "Master, that bracelet was given to you by me as a gift. There is absolutely no problem with it. Yuan is slandering me."
"I feel so wronged."
As Zou spoke, tears flowed out like a spring, and she couldn't stop at all.
Nan Shuwen was the one who fell for her tricks the most. He stepped forward distressed, put his arm around Zou's shoulders, and comforted her, "Nannan, stop crying. I believe you."
"You are kind and wonderful, how could you possibly harm someone? You gave Li the bracelet purely out of kindness."
"Your good intentions should not be doubted."
"hehe."
Nan Yuanxiang looked at the two of them and laughed. Her father was so naive!
You actually think Zou is a good person?
How blind and heartless.
"Naughty girl, what are you laughing at?"
"Your mother has become like this, and you can still laugh?"
Nan Yuanxiang snorted coldly, "If Dad really cares about Mom, why don't you let your daughter take off the bracelet on Mom's hand?"
"Don't stop it."
"Master..." Zou became anxious when she heard this. She called Nan Shuwen in a roundabout way, asking Nan Shuwen to believe her.
Nan Yuanxiang was so angry at the moment that she didn't care about her dignity anymore. Before Zou could finish what she wanted to say, she started to curse at her, "Shut up, bitch."
He has been secretly trying to make trouble for her and her mother since they were young, and now he wants to kill her mother.
She wouldn't let her succeed.
"Let me go." Nan Yuanxiang yelled at the two servants who were holding her.
The servant did not dare to let go and continued to escort Nan Yuanxiang diligently and responsibly.
Zou was scolded and felt extremely unconvinced. At the same time, she was a little puzzled. In the past, Nan Yuanxiang always felt inferior and timid because of the birthmark on her face, and she didn't dare to speak loudly.
Now she actually dares to curse and yell at people?
"Master, look at Sister Yuan. She has lived in the palace for a few years. With the princess's support, she has become disrespectful to her elders and dares to scold me."
"I am your woman after all, her aunt, how can she scold me like this?"
"I, I won't live anymore."
Zou suddenly started making a fuss.
Nan Baolin was comforting her.
Nan Shuwen was also worried about Zou. Zou had always been weak and had a heart disease, so she couldn't be excited!
"Nannan, calm down."
"I won't let you suffer in vain."
"I will help you punish that rebellious girl right now. Don't do anything reckless, Baolin. Look after your mother."
Nan Shuwen said, and hurriedly ordered the servant, "What are you all standing there for? Quickly drag this rebellious girl Nan Yuanxiang down and spank her hands ten times with the ruler."
"Let her learn this lesson and see if she dares to be disrespectful to her aunt again in the future."
“…”
Nan Yuanxiang was speechless.
Zou was just a concubine, and concubines in Western Chu were like slaves in the family.
Her father actually punished her repeatedly for a slave? It was the case when she was a child, and now that she has grown up and entered the palace to accompany the princess, her father still doesn't care.
Nan Yunxiang felt very uncomfortable.
The two servants who were holding Nan Yuanxiang dragged her outside regardless of her wishes.
Nan Yuanxiang didn't want to leave. She wanted to save her mother. She struggled hard, "Don't pull me, don't."
"Go away."
"I want to save my mother."
But Nan Yuanxiang couldn't break free. Just like when she was a child, when her father wanted to punish her, she was always powerless and could only accept it silently.
Nan Yuanxiang couldn't help but think that if Jiujiu was here, she would definitely be able to help her.
Her father dared to bully her and punish her, but he didn't dare to bully Jiujiu.
Jiujiu is a princess, no one dares to bully her.
But Jiujiu is in the palace.
How could I help her?
"It's just a bracelet."
"Why is it so hard to take off?"
"Is it true that I can't save mother? Mother, what should I do?"
After talking to herself for a few words, Nan Yuanxiang couldn't help crying. She cried very sadly, with her whole face tightly wrinkled.
