"This..." Madam He's expression changed slightly. She glanced to the side before speaking, "We only found out after you made this a public spectacle."
Looking at Madam He, He Ning felt his heart sink.
"Mother, is what you said true?" He Ning asked, word by word. Although her tone was calm, the doubt in her eyes was completely overflowing.
Perhaps feeling guilty, Madam He raised her voice slightly and angrily said, "Do you doubt me? I am your mother, how dare you doubt your own mother like this?"
He Ning fell silent.
She doesn't want to say anything more now.
She had already made her judgment on these matters.
Seeing that He Ning remained silent, Madam He thought she had fooled him and continued, "He Ning, I am your mother! You cannot doubt your mother like this. If you hurt your mother's heart like this, your mother will also choose to abandon you!"
He Ning's face showed displeasure.
After what happened with her father, she felt utterly disgusted by people who used family ties as a threat.
She didn't want to talk to this kind of person, so she just kept a cold face and remained silent.
Madam He was about to say something when Yun Chuwei interrupted her.
"Is she really your daughter?" Yun Chuwei asked slowly, looking at Madam He.
Upon hearing this, Madam He suddenly looked at Yun Chuwei, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.
Yun Chuwei noticed Madam He's gaze and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
Just now, after seeing the two people's attitude towards He Ning, she suddenly had a whimsical idea and read the faces of the three of them to divine their entanglements.
As it turned out, He Ning and He Zhiqian were not related by blood.
In other words, He Ning is not He Zhiqian's biological son, and not only that, this kinship will not last long.
She initially thought she had miscalculated.
Judging from Madam He's reaction, her calculations were correct.
Mrs. He also felt that her reaction was excessive.
So she composed herself and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your mother is someone I carried for ten months and gave birth to with great difficulty. How could she not be my daughter?"
"Oh, really?" Yun Chuwei's attitude was very calm, and her tone was devoid of any emotion.
Looking at Yun Chuwei's attitude, Madam He felt a twitch between her brows and a sense of unease rising in her heart.
She felt that she should finalize the marriage of her youngest daughter to the Marquis's mansion with He Ning as soon as possible, otherwise things might change.
Madam He shifted her attention from Yun Chuwei to He Ning, and said, "Ning'er, I know you're upset. But your sister hasn't had it easy either; she's come this far with great difficulty. Please agree to let your sister into the manor, okay?"
He Ning's gaze turned icy as he looked at Madam He.
She said coolly, "It's not impossible for her to enter the Marquis's mansion, but she needs to be sincere!"
Madam He was delighted to hear this.
She felt that the sooner this matter was settled, the better, preferably before Old Madam Yun returned, otherwise there might be unforeseen changes!
In order to prevent the old lady from returning and causing any unforeseen changes, she sent people yesterday to stop her from coming back.
Hopefully, those people will be of some use.
She quickly turned to He Ning and asked, "Ning'er, I know you're the most obedient. Tell me what kind of sincerity you want, and I'll discuss it with An'er!"
He Ning glanced at Yun Xian and He An, who were still bound, and slowly said, "Then let them bow every three steps and kneel every five steps, all the way from the South Gate to the North Gate!"
Yun Xian and He An were initially overjoyed to hear that He Ning had agreed.
However, after hearing He Ning's words, they were no longer happy at all. Both of them glared at He Ning angrily.
Madam He opened her mouth, somewhat incredulous.
She never expected that her usually well-behaved daughter would make such an outrageous request.
She frowned and said, "Ning'er, aren't you being too harsh? If you make them do this, won't you make the whole capital a laughing stock? If the old lady finds out that the Marquis's mansion has made such a fool of itself, she will definitely be angry. How will you explain this to her then?"
He Ning found it laughable to see Madam He fighting for He An.
After He An ran away from her arranged marriage and disappeared, she worried about her mother and spent almost every day with her.
Later, when she lived in the Marquis's mansion, she always considered her mother and father in everything she did.
They would have anything their mother-in-law had, and sometimes even better.
She believes that her daughter has done everything she could to deserve this.
But the two of them didn't pay any attention to her at all, and only thought about He An.
Even her child was not as good as He Ansheng's in the eyes of these two.
She said coldly, "I will explain to my mother-in-law. If Mother feels sorry for them, she can kneel down with them."
"You..." Madam He felt a chill run down her spine as she sensed her daughter's indifference.
This daughter used to be the most sensible and well-behaved, why has she suddenly become so domineering?
Did she know about that? But that's impossible.
Only a few of them knew about that matter; Old Madam Yun would definitely not tell He Ning.
Feeling uneasy and sensing that He Ning was unyielding, she turned to He An and Yun Xian and said, "If you agree, nod. If you disagree..."
Madam He fell silent at this point.
Actually, there was nothing she could do if they disagreed.
After all, He Ning doesn't care about her as his mother at all anymore.
He Zhiqian was also very annoyed when he heard He Ning's request.
He had never seen such an arrogant woman. Her husband wanted to take a concubine, and she actually made him and the concubine kneel from the south of the city to the north. What kind of behavior was this?
However, he dared not say anything.
Keep in mind that Yun Chuwei was standing nearby, eyeing the scene with predatory intent.
He felt that if he spoke up, Yun Chuwei would definitely have the Embroidered Uniform Guards beat him up again.
The thought of this made his back and legs ache.
So he could only shrink back and glare angrily at He Ning to express his dissatisfaction.
He Ning completely ignored He Zhiqian.
From today onwards, these two people are no longer her parents, and she has no habit of considering the feelings of strangers.
Yun Lianhua stood up and said to He An and Yun Xian, "Father, Mother, don't agree to her! His Highness the Crown Prince has promised to help us get justice! Don't be afraid, His Highness the Crown Prince will be here soon!"
Yun Chuwei's audacity in ordering her maternal grandfather to be beaten was something she hadn't anticipated.
She originally thought that her maternal grandparents could keep He Ning in check and force him to compromise.
Unexpectedly, after being beaten by Yun Chuwei, the maternal grandfather never dared to speak again.
What a piece of trash!
But it doesn't matter, she still has His Highness the Crown Prince.
As Yun Lianhua was thinking, she heard someone announce, "His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
