Generally speaking, a virtuous person would disdain eavesdropping on other people's private affairs.
However, Rong Ning never considered herself a gentleman, and her so-called moral bottom line was also unpredictable, sometimes high and sometimes low.
That's why, without any hesitation, she grabbed Aying and stood quietly in that corner, listening intently to the arguing coming from inside the house.
The arguing was so loud it seemed to pierce the roof.
But in reality, it seemed that only one girl was talking the whole time. And judging from the voice alone, Rong Ning was certain that it was definitely not Xie Xizhu.
She was all too familiar with Xie Xizhu's voice. But who was this woman shouting so loudly in front of her?
Rong Ning racked her brains, but couldn't recall where she had heard such a sound before. A sense of doubt and curiosity filled her, and she became increasingly eager to uncover the story behind this argument.
“Ah Ying… I am filled with doubts.”
Even if Xie Xizhu may not have the grandeur of an eldest granddaughter, no one should dare to be so unscrupulous and unreasonable in front of her!
This situation really doesn't seem right, does it?
She frowned, looking at Aying beside her with a puzzled expression.
Upon hearing this, Aying hesitated for a moment, unsure how to respond.
After a moment's thought, he slowly spoke, "It is indeed somewhat unusual. But in such a secluded mansion, many things are often complicated and elusive."
We're, after all, just outsiders, and we don't fully understand the intricacies of the relationships between the people involved. So, judging who's right and who's wrong is really not an easy task!
Hearing this, Rong Ning couldn't help but snort and said with a pout, "I'm not that impartial judge, where would I get so much free time and energy to distinguish right from wrong for them!"
I was just curious!
"Your Highness is right!"
"Tell me, has my sister ever suffered such injustice before?"
Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, this thought flashed into Rong Ning's mind.
Once the thought took hold, it grew wildly like weeds, impossible to suppress. So, she couldn't help but ask, "My sister never told me about these things!"
Rong Ning muttered to herself, a hint of fear in her voice.
In the past, she naively believed that if her older sister didn't bring up those past experiences, it meant that they never existed.
However, at this moment, when she witnessed Xie Xizhu's difficult situation, a sense of fear inexplicably welled up in her heart.
That fear felt like an invisible hand gripping her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
She began to worry, fearing that her beloved elder sister had also suffered the same cold treatment and injustice as Xie Xizhu.
Whenever Princess Zhaoqing was mentioned, Aying would involuntarily become cautious.
She frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly replied, "This servant has been following Your Highness on many busy journeys, and rarely has the opportunity to come into contact with anything about Princess Zhaoqing."
As for Princess Zhaoqing's many affairs, most of them were things I heard from my sister A-Ye during our casual chats.
Over the years, Sister A-Ye has never mentioned that the princess suffered such a great injustice!
Your Highness, I understand your concerns, but Princess Zhaoqing and Miss Xie are ultimately different.
The princess was kind and approachable, extremely considerate in her dealings with others, and meticulous and thorough in her actions.
In Nanyang City, Princess Zhaoqing was renowned and highly respected and praised by everyone.
Normally, everyone would be too busy trying to curry favor with her; no one would be foolish enough to provoke Her Highness!
Rong Ning listened, lost in thought...
Maybe so... After all, my older sister isn't the type to be easily manipulated.
After a long while, she pursed her lips slightly and said, "Let's go in and see what kind of crazy commotion we've stumbled upon!"
Rong Ning dashed forward like an arrow, her speed astonishing, leaving the servants in the outer courtyard no time to react or catch up.
Caught off guard, the servants were first stunned, their mouths agape. Then, as if waking from a dream, they came to their senses and, without having time to go in and announce, could only hurriedly shout in unison, "Greetings, Princess Ningding! May the Princess be well!"
At this moment, the heated argument inside the room was abruptly interrupted by this greeting, coming to an abrupt halt.
Immediately afterwards, a series of hurried footsteps came, clearly indicating that the people inside had heard the commotion outside and rushed out to greet Rong Ning.
In the crowd, Xie Xizhu quickly walked up to Rong Ning, bowed deeply, her face pale, and said apologetically, "I really didn't know Your Highness would grace us with your presence today, and I failed to come out to greet you in time. I have truly been impolite, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me for this oversight!"
