Ning Zhihuan was feeling very proud in her heart, but her face showed shock. At this point, what else did Old Lady Ning not understand?
She narrowed her eyes, and a sharp edge suddenly appeared in them.
"Ning Hong, tell me."
Old Mrs. Ning's voice was a little hoarse, perhaps because she was too disappointed. She didn't expect that she had supported a thief all these years.
"It wasn't me, grandma. I didn't steal anything. I really didn't!" Ning Hong shook her head and refused to admit it.
She looked shocked, as if she hadn't expected Old Lady Ning to distrust her. It must be said that Ning Hong was also an excellent actress.
Ning Zhihuan silently praised Ning Hong's acting skills in his heart.
This evidence is not sufficient, but anyone with a discerning eye can tell who the thief is.
Old Lady Ning had a sinister look on her face, a completely different attitude from the one she had shown Ning Zhihuan. She asked, "Do you think that if you don't admit it, everything will be fine?"
Ning Hong rolled her eyes left and right, but the best thing to do now was to deny it, there was no other way.
Her eyes turned red and she shook her head, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice and was determined to deny it to the death. She cursed Ning Zhihuan in her heart.
Ning Zhihuan, who was watching the fun from the side, added, "Yes, Grandma, some of these things were indeed not stolen by Sister Ning Hong. I gave them to her."
Some things are given as gifts, while others are stolen.
This sentence confirmed Ning Hong's identity as a thief, leaving her no chance to quibble.
Ning Hong gritted her teeth. If it wasn't the wrong occasion, she would definitely rush up and beat Ning Zhihuan up.
"Just kneel down in this yard and don't eat today. When you come to your senses, come and admit your mistakes to me, and we'll talk later."
Old Mrs. Ning slammed her crutch on the ground, venting her disappointment.
If I say that I had guessed and tested Ning Hong in the past, and still held a glimmer of fantasy about her, then today all the veil has been torn off.
Ning Zhihuan turned his head to glance at the lonely Old Lady Ning, but did not chase after her. The dark side of Ning Hong, the ungrateful person who had been by her side for so many years, was suddenly revealed. Old Lady Ning needed some time to digest it.
She will have to endure more in the future.
For example, Ning Zhikun's leg. That was something Ning Hong had plotted against Ning Zhikun before she transmigrated into the book. Not only was his reputation taken away, but she also took his leg, which was enough to show how cruel she was.
Ning Zhihuan stood there without saying a word, waiting for Ning Hong to kneel down. She needed to witness for the original owner.
Ning Hong bit her lip, as if she wanted to speak and urge Ning Zhihuan but couldn't find any reason.
Finally, Li Xueyan came to have dinner with Ning Zhihuan, and Ning Hong knelt down.
He knelt down quickly and hastily, closing his eyes and making up his mind. You don't need to look to see that only a broken skin was considered a minor injury.
Ning Zhihuan curled his lips, thinking that she was very calculating.
As expected, Li Xueyan, who was always soft-hearted, was stunned at first. Then she tried to pull her up, saying, "Ning Hong, what are you doing? Hurry up and let your aunt see if it hurts."
Ning Hong shook her head stubbornly, tears welling up in her eyes and refusing to fall, looking aggrieved but stubborn.
Li Xueyan became anxious when she saw this. She asked Ning Hong what was wrong but she didn't say anything. She turned around and asked Ning Zhihuan, only then did she know that it was Old Lady Ning who punished her to kneel there.
Li Xueyan fell silent after hearing this, and slowly withdrew her hand without even asking the reason.
Although Old Lady Ning has a reputation for being a fierce person outside, she has always been kind in the Ning family, especially to the younger generation.
That is, he would occasionally scare Ning Zhigan, that naughty boy, with a scowl on his face, but he was very kind to his other juniors.
Even Ning Hong, who was picked up, was the same.
Although Old Lady Ning was always indescribably strict towards Ning Hong, she was not bad after all.
This time she was made to kneel in the middle of the yard. She must have done something very serious, so she didn't ask.
"Let's go, Huanbao."
Li Xueyan took Ning Zhihuan's hand and left, leaving Ning Hong alone, biting her lip and shaking with anger.
I didn't expect Li Xueyan to be so useless, nor did I expect her to trust that old woman so much.
Ning Zhihuan was being led forward, and happened to see Ning Hong cursing something from behind, with a smile on her lips.
This is just the beginning.
At the dinner table, Old Mrs. Ning took out ten yuan and gave it to Ning Zhihuan, and told her to return it to Xiao Yuchi.
Ning Zhihuan nodded and said that he would definitely return it tomorrow. Only then did Mrs. Ning feel relieved.
Because Ning Hong's matter had somewhat affected her mood, Old Mrs. Ning didn't eat much today and returned to her room early.
Ning Zhihuan was afraid that the old lady would get angry being alone in the room, so after helping Li Xueyan clean up the dishes, he also went to Old Lady Ning's room.
It was already evening, but there was no light in the room. Old Mrs. Ning sat alone in front of the window, looking at the bright moonlight through the window, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Grandma, are you thinking about Ning Hong?"
Ning Zhihuan's voice came from behind. Old Mrs. Ning turned around, and Ning Zhihuan did not miss the crystal in her eyes.
This woman who has been strong all her life revealed her vulnerability at this moment.
"Huanbao, you're here." Old Mrs. Ning spoke nonchalantly, but her trembling voice betrayed her uneasy mood at the moment.
Ning Zhihuan only now realized how loyal and righteous Old Lady Ning was.
On the surface, he doesn't care about Ning Hong, but in fact, he is also disappointed in his heart. He is disappointed that the child he raised with his own hands turns out to be such a person. More... he is probably blaming himself.
"Grandma, everyone has their own destiny." Ning Zhihuan sighed and said this out of the blue.
Old Mrs. Ning looked at her. The moonlight made her face appear bright and dark, adding a bit of mystery.
"Big brother, second brother, and third brother were all raised by you and taught by you. Big brother is upright and hardworking. Second brother is a little cunning, but he can distinguish between good and evil. As for third brother, although he is depressed, he always takes care of me and never forgets to ask about your situation."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Ning looked at Ning Zhihuan with some shock, as if she was meeting her granddaughter for the first time.
Ning Zhihuan pretended not to hear and continued, "So, you've done a good job. There's no need to blame yourself. Everyone has their own path to take. Ning Hong's path is destined to be difficult. We can't interfere, and we have no right to interfere. But all of this has nothing to do with you."
Old Mrs. Ning's mood went from shock to relief.
She didn't expect that her young granddaughter could understand her thoughts so quickly and enlighten her.
During dinner in the evening, the brothers Ning Qingjian and Ning Qingzhong thought she was angry about Ning Hong's actions, and tried to persuade her, saying that it was not easy for Ning Hong, an orphan.
But how could anyone know the self-blame in her heart?
Unexpectedly, it was her granddaughter who finally saw through it, and Old Mrs. Ning smiled.
"I didn't expect that our Huanbao is the one who is so wise but appears foolish."
