Daliang Kingdom, capital, at the residence of Lang Ning Guangyan, a member of the Ministry of Industry.
Ning Wei was lying on the bed looking at the flowers carved on the bed frame in a daze. She obviously fell into the cold lake at the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and was already dead. How could she open her eyes and return to the boudoir before she left the pavilion?
The bone-chilling cold water entered her nose, causing her extreme pain. She waved her hands to call for help, but as soon as she opened her mouth, before any sound came out from her throat, the cold lake water poured straight into her mouth...
She struggled hard, trying to get up, but her feet were tightly grabbed, pulling her deep.
The feeling of helplessness that made the world feel helpless and the earth and the earth not working, was very clearly entrenched in her mind.
This is definitely not a dream!
Ning Wei turned over, raised her right hand to rest on the pillow, rested her head on it, and fell into deep thought again.
She was pushed into the lake!
Ning Wei remembered that she ran out of the yard of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, with anger.
She was extremely angry at that time. Of course, she was not angry with her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, but with her stepmother, Mrs. Zhao. No, it was Mrs. Zhao.
At that time, Mrs. Zhao married her biological daughter Ning He into Prince Chen's palace and became the princess.
The emperor gave his father a first-class official position in the Yitong Third Division of the Kaifu, and Mrs. Zhao naturally became a first-class wife, and became a guest of the famous family in the capital - Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao scolded her in front of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, saying that she was not living up to expectations. She had been married to the Marquis of Weiyuan for seven years but had not given her a son or a half to the Marquis.
Mrs. Zhao taught her as a mother that as the wife of the prince of the Hou Mansion, she should be wise and generous, and she should always plan for the Hou Mansion and the prince.
Madam Zhao asked her to take advantage of the prince's return to the capital to help him marry Ning Lei as a common wife, and then to take in two concubines for the prince, so as to expand the branches of the Shi family.
Let Shi Jingyang marry Ning Lei as an equal wife?
Ning Lei, the third daughter of the Ning family, the youngest daughter of Mrs. Zhao.
If Mrs. Zhao is so good at planning, why not let her eldest daughter Ning He and Zhang Luo welcome Ning Lei into the palace and become King Chen's concubine?
Ning Wei was so shocked that she looked at Mrs. Zhao blankly. Before she could recover, Mrs. Zhao approached her and said something that completely broke her mood.
"As long as I want it, I will firmly hold it in my hands. I was able to marry into the Ning Mansion back then, and now, I can let my daughter marry into the Hou Mansion!"
Back then she was able to marry into the Ning Mansion...
With Mrs. Zhao's words echoing in Ning Wei's mind, she stumbled forward and reached the lake unknowingly.
Just as she was shaking with anger, a force pushed towards her from behind.
So, she fell into the cold lake.
Someone doesn't want her to live!
Who is this person? Mother-in-law Wu?
It shouldn't be her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law is an upright person. If she doesn't want her to live, she will directly give her a glass of poisonous wine or a foot of white silk. She will not do anything dirty to others.
If not mother-in-law, who could it be?
Mrs. Zhao's person? She can boss her around in the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion and ask her to do this and that, but there is no need to kill her?
But if it wasn't Mrs. Zhao's people, who would be the person who pushed her into the lake? Who wanted to put her to death?
Ning Wei's head suddenly hurt. She raised her hand and pressed her temple. She turned to look at the tea on the table and wanted to call someone.
Just as Ning Wei was about to open her mouth, a voice came from outside the door.
"If you two are not waiting on the lady in the house, you would just hide here and be lazy!"
The maid woman carried the food box and entered the moon gate of Fangfei Garden. The leading woman scolded the maid who was having her hair tied in the corridor.
When the maids Zaohua and Mulberry heard the sound, they quickly stood up, bent their knees and explained to the mother-in-law: "Hello, Grandma Yang, the young lady has just rested. The two slaves were afraid of disturbing the young lady, so they hid in the corridor."
Ning Wei in the room frowned unconsciously while listening to the conversation outside the room.
A higher-pitched scolding voice came from the corridor, and it was the voice of Grandma Yang, the steward next to my grandmother, Mrs. Qian.
Ning Wei was in a trance for a while. Aunt Yang seemed to have left the Ning Mansion after her grandmother passed away.
At that time, Ning Wei was in jail and could not care about anything else.
After her grandmother passed away, she did not delve into where Grandma Yang went.
"How long has this been? The eldest lady just took a break?
The eldest lady is sleeping now, but she won’t be able to sleep again at night! You two are becoming more and more careless in serving others. Be careful that the old lady will sell you two out as a fine."
Grandma Yang pointed at the mulberry leaves and jujube flowers, and crossed them to go into the house.
With a "plop", Zaohua knocked her head next to Grandma Yang, stretched out her arms to hug her legs, "Mammy, the young lady has an explanation, and no one will come in and disturb her."
Grandma Yang was about to attack Zaohua.
Sang Ye then knelt down and said in support: "Mommy, the young lady did have an order. No one is allowed to come in and disturb you without being summoned by the young lady. Please forgive me."
Nanny Yang lowered her head and looked at the jujube flowers and then at the mulberry leaves. She hesitated for a moment, weighing in her mind whether to go in or not.
Thinking of Ning Wei's stubborn temper, Grandma Yang did not dare to go into the room, but raised her voice towards the room: "Since the young lady doesn't want to be disturbed, I won't go in.
You two tell the eldest lady that the old lady has guests today, and the eldest lady does not need to go over and have dinner with the old lady.
However, you also know that the old lady loves the eldest lady, and if she does not see the eldest lady for a day, the old lady will feel worried.
Therefore, after the eldest lady had dinner, she had to go to Jing'an Hall to pay her respects to the old lady.
The old lady asked the old slave to bring these foods to the young lady. They are all the young lady likes to eat. The old slave put the things here, so you two can serve the young lady well."
When Grandma Yang left, she did not forget to take a look at the house.
Mulberry leaf and Zaohua waited until Grandma Yang and his party left before they stood up.
The two looked at each other, and Sang Ye looked into the room and said, "I'm going to see if the lady is awake?"
"Come in!" Zaohua was about to nod when Ning Wei's voice came from the room.
Ning Wei leaned against the bedside, watching Sang Ye and Zao Hua each cross the threshold with a food box.
Mulberry leaf and Zaohua were chosen by her grandmother. They were three years older than her and had been with her since she was seven years old.
In the previous life, before she got married, they were sold out by Mrs. Zhao.
Ning Wei's eyes darkened when she thought of this. By the way, the maid she married when she got married was all arranged by Mrs. Zhao...
"Miss, are you awake? It's dinner time. The old lady asked Nanny Yang to bring the meal to the lady. Should the lady eat it now or later?" Zaohua asked Ning Wei while putting the food box.
Ning Wei looked at the food box on the table. When she saw the red sandalwood food box inlaid with rubies, Ning Wei's pupils shrank and her eyes narrowed slightly.
This food box is not from my grandmother’s yard. It is from my stepmother, Mrs. Zhao’s house.
Ning Wei's mother, Mrs. Zhao, died of massive hemorrhage when giving birth to her.
Three months later, my father married a daughter of the Zhao family who was born in the fifth server of her mother's clan to fill a house, and she is now Mrs. Zhao.
When Mrs. Zhao married into the family, she brought her four-year-old son Ning Yang with her. She also carried a daughter, Ning He, who was born a month after entering the family. Later, she gave birth to a daughter, Ning Lei.
