Chapter 15
"Father, Aning is soft-hearted. It's not appropriate for you to force her like this."
Thinking that Yan Ning was afraid of Duke Li, so he hugged in his arms and shivered, Arong said calmly.
"I forced her? What did I force her?" Duke Li asked in disbelief.
What did he force Yan Ning?
Saving his daughter is also called persecution?
"Father, you feel sorry for Jiang Huan. Should you also look at us Aning?" Arong couldn't bear it anymore. She always knew that her father was partial. In this long decade, there had never been any kindness of Duke Li's love for his brother and sister in her life, nor did she care about her mother.
It was obvious that Duke Li and Chu who did the wrong thing back then, but in Duke Li's heart, it seemed that her mother Duke Li's wife was the one who did the wrong thing... Yes, Duke Li did the wrong thing. She was wrong because she lived well, and she did not die of dying from labor. She asked her to wait for her to die quickly so that she could marry Duke Li's wife to be her second wife. She hoped that she could be a family member who was looked down upon in the end.
But Arong didn't expect that Duke Li was so cruel.
He felt so distressed when Jiang Huan had a high fever, but did Duke Li think that Jiang Huan's high fever was exactly what Yan Ning was experiencing.
Yan Ning felt distressed when he had a high fever.
But Jiang Huan had a high fever, would Duke Li blame Yan Ning here?
"A Ning is about to recover? And there is also an old man from the Imperial Hospital to see a doctor. But A Huan has nothing." Duke Li was very disappointed with Yan Ning.
Yan Ning is a little orphan. He has lived in the Duke of Li for so many years, and everything belongs to Duke of Li.
But now...
"Dude, Duke!" Just when Duke Li wanted to ask Yan Ning to give him one of the imperial physicians, he saw someone outside whispering to him.
Because this was the room of Duke Li Guo’s wife, the servant did not dare to come in, but only dared to call him outside the door.
"What's wrong?" Duke Li walked out and asked.
"Dude, it's not good! The old lady knows everything!" Seeing Duke Li's face slightly changed, the servant said in panic, "The old lady knew that the prince had dealt with Miss Huan, so she said that the prince did the right thing. She also said that Miss Huan was not allowed to stay in Duke's mansion, so she was asking someone to drag Miss Huan out and send it back to the outside."
The old lady knew that the King of Chu had cleaned up Jiang Huan at her home, but she didn't say anything. But when she heard that Duke Li had placed Jiang Huan and Chu in the study, she issued an order not to allow mother and daughter to stay in the Duke's Mansion in the outer room, and stuffed them into a sedan chair and sent them out of the Duke's Mansion.
"What?!"
Duke Li's face changed suddenly.
"Don't worry, the people in our mansion are all warm sedan chairs, and Miss Huan can't freeze." The servant gritted the bullet and reported this matter. Duke Li only felt that his eyes were black and shook for a while. He didn't care about anything else to ask Yan Ning to borrow an imperial physician. He threw his sleeves and hurriedly left Duke Li's mansion, chasing the Chu mother and daughter.
Although he left like this, the wife of Duke Li was not sad. Instead, she felt very quiet. She thanked the doctors repeatedly and personally sent the doctors out of the Duke's Mansion. When she returned to Yan Ning, she saw Yan Ning leaning against Arong to take medicine.
She was so thin that she seemed to be blown away in the next moment.
The wife of Duke Li Guo's eyes were sour. After looking at Yan Ning for a while, she saw that she was drowsy and did not dare to disturb her. She asked Yan Ning to take medicine before going to bed and go out first.
"Big cousin, please accompany me." Yan Ning felt that she would not be able to hold A Rong like this, but she couldn't help it. She had not completely escaped from the pain of losing A Rong in her previous life. At this moment, she looked at A Rong's face and felt that she could never see enough. She leaned in A Rong's warm arms and whispered, "Big cousin, I want to protect you in the future."
Although she didn't know what happened in her previous life, because she was timid and weak in her previous life, and always lived in depressed life, without knowing anyone or anyone's affairs, she still wanted to work hard to protect Arong.
Don’t ask her eldest cousin to suffer unjust grievances, you can live a good life with the tenth prince.
Live a good life.
Yan Ning was stunned for a moment, feeling that she seemed to have heard someone say to her.
She hugged Jiang Rong silently.
"Okay, I'll wait for Aning to grow up to protect me." Arong smiled and touched Yan Ning's hair. She didn't disturb her when she saw her dozing off in her arms until Yan Ning fell asleep. Then she silently helped her out of her arms and watched her fall asleep in small cramps.
Yan Ning slept all day long. It seemed that the prescription of the imperial physician was really effective. She felt very sleepy, but she slowly recovered her illness while eating, sleeping. During this period, she had been living in the house of Duke Li Guo’s wife. When she was almost well, she told Duke Li Guo’s wife that she wanted to go back.
The wife of Duke Li hesitated for a long time before she agreed to her.
Yan Ning hurriedly prepared to pack up his things and return to his house.
She knew that she stayed in the house of Duke Li Guo’s wife to cause trouble for her aunt.
Because she was recuperating here, the Duke of Liguo had to lower his voice when he was in charge of the family and spoke to the servants.
"Big cousin, is Cousin Alan sick?" Yan Ning recovered much today. Although she was still a little weak, she no longer had a high fever. At this moment, she asked Arong to direct several maids to help her dress and put on a thick and warm cloak. She felt that she was so stuffy that she couldn't breathe.
However, because she recovered a lot and her spirit came back, she thought of her cousin, Jiang Lan from the second house. On the day she fell into the water, Jiang Lan jumped into the lake and tried hard to pull Yan Ning. They fell into the water together, and Jiang Lan was sent back to the second house, so she separated from Yan Ning.
But Yan Ning remembers that Jiang Lan was also sick in her previous life.
However, Jiang Lan is in good health, so she should be already lively now.
"She has recovered. But the second aunt thought she was making trouble and detained her not to go out, so as not to get sick again." Seeing Yan Ning looking at her a little uneasy, Arong said warmly, "Don't worry. She is much healthier than you."
Jiang Lan has always been a lively person. She likes to talk, laugh, run and dance, and is a person who can't rest. Therefore, she is very healthy and rarely gets sick. Compared with the thin Yan Ning, she is the most unworrying person. She was afraid that Yan Ning would blame herself, so Arong said in a harmonious voice, "I have been to see her a long time ago. She also said, "When you recover from your illness, you will go out and play with you."
"Okay!" Yan Ning nodded vigorously and his eyes lit up.
In this Duke's Mansion, she relies most on her eldest cousin Arong, but her closest friend is Alan, the second cousin of the second wife.
Alan is the only daughter of the second wife. She has always been very cheerful and has a very good personality.
"Big cousin, can I go and see if Cousin Alan?" Yan Ning hesitated for a moment and whispered to Arong, "Today is the day when the old lady worships Buddha. Tomorrow I want to pay my respects to the old lady, please don't worry about me."
On the 15th day of the lunar month, the old lady would spend the whole day in the small Buddhist temple behind her room, devoted herself to worshiping the Buddha. Therefore, Yan Ning could not pay tribute to the old lady today, so she thought to visit Alan first, thank Alan, and then apologize to the second wife of the second wife. Because if it weren't for saving her, Alan wouldn't have fallen into the water or got sick.
And Yan Ning felt that she had a lot to say to Alan.
"Okay. Why can't you? Go." Arong smiled and pinched Yan Ning's delicate and white face. Seeing that she smiled embarrassedly at her, she thought about it and asked with a smile, "I told Fu Dong to go with you?"
Seeing Yan Ning's eyes lit up slightly, she was indeed very close to Fu Dong, the eldest maid beside her, so she pulled Yan Ning thoughtfully and asked softly, "Why don't you like Zangqiu?" Yan Ning was her cousin. She naturally didn't need to criticize those outsiders like her, but asked bluntly.
Yan Ning was originally a little happy to see Alan, but when he heard Arong ask this, his face suddenly stiffened.
Why don’t you like Tibetan autumn?
Because she betrayed her, she made up for a bloody knife when she was most sad.
At that time, she and Shen Yanqing had just gotten married, and Shen Yanqing had already shown disgust for her. Even if she stayed in her room, she would never touch her.
Not only that, he also wanted the maid beside her to serve him.
Shen Yanqing lit Fu Dong first, but Fu Dong would rather die than die, so Shen Yanqing lit Zangqiu.
Zangqiu was so happy that she was on the small couch outside Yanning's bedroom with Shen Yanqing. On the next day, she tied her hair and made Shen Yanqing's room. She shyly followed Shen Yanqing to invite Princess Changping. Then she returned to Yanning and said that all she did was to help Yanning keep Shen Yanqing.
But such words were still heard. When Shen Yanqing placed her in his room and asked her to serve her in front of Princess Changping, the person who kept saying that it was for her was no longer in front of her.
She even helped Shen Yanqing humiliate her together.
"She..." Yan Ning felt her lips trembling.
She no longer cared about Shen Yanqing and would not be sad for her.
But she could not forgive Zangqiu's betrayal of herself.
"She has the appearance of betraying the Lord." Yan Ning felt that his reason was ridiculously childish, and even a little bit ridiculous.
She didn't know how to look at the face, so she said nothing about a maid who was very considerate and appropriate to her all day long. Isn't this ridiculous?
Who would believe her unfounded willful words...
"Then send it to the village." Just when Yan Ning didn't know how to explain, Arong didn't ask much, but just touched Yan Ning's hair and said gently.
Yan Ning suddenly looked up and looked at the gentle cousin's big cousin's eyes and his eyes turned red.
"Big cousin, do you believe me?"
"If you don't believe me, who do you believe? You are not an unreasonable child." Arong smiled.
