In Cuixue Pavilion, Ning He watched Ning Wei and his party leave. She clenched her hands in anger, her nails digging into her flesh and causing a dull pain. This pain could not offset the hatred in her heart...
Seeing Ning He standing still, Chuni reminded her in a low voice: "Miss, the eldest lady has left."
Ning He withdrew his gaze, glared at Chuni, turned around and walked towards the main room.
Chuni trembled with fright and lowered her head. The maid and her mother-in-law followed Ning He to the main room, and no one dared to say a word.
When the group of people walked to the door of the hall, Ning He stopped and said coldly: "The others are waiting outside, Aunt Rong will follow me in."
Others bowed their knees and stood outside the door.
Fang Rong followed Ning He into the house and closed the door behind him.
Ning He walked a few steps into the room and suddenly turned around. Fang Rong, who was following him, was so frightened that he took two steps back and shouted in shock: "Miss..."
Ning He glared at Fang Rong and said in a deep voice: "Look at the good things you have done! What do you want me to say about you? You can't do such a small thing. What's the use of you?"
Fang Rong lowered his head and remained silent.
When Ning He saw Fang Rong bowing his head and saying nothing, the anger in his heart surged up, and he repeated angrily: "What do you want me to say about you? Huh?"
Fang Rong looked like a child who had done something wrong, his head lowered.
Ning He was so angry that she could no longer resolve her inner resentment by blaming her.
Ning Wei walked to the soft couch, sat down, then grabbed a pillow and threw it towards Fang Rong.
The pillow flew halfway and fell to the ground. Fang Rong bent down to pick it up and put it on the chair next to the table.
"I think you are just dull and slow in thinking. As long as I explain things clearly to you, and explain them more clearly, you can get things done.
As a result, I made it clear enough, you will also mess up the matter." Ning He glared at Fang Rong, his eyes seemed to spit fire, and resentment rushed into his face.
Fang Rong felt extremely aggrieved and whispered: "I did what the young lady said. I still haven't figured out what the problem is?"
Fang Rong is really aggrieved. Everything has been arranged well, but the result is like this.
Ning He was so angry that he grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at Fang Rong.
Fang Rong didn't dare to hide and let the cup hit her shoulder.
Ning He blushed and scolded with a thick neck: "You haven't found out what the problem is yet? You are really as stupid as a pig.
Look at the people you picked. They are all crooked and bad people.
That fat woman, who is as timid as a mouse and timid, is she someone who can withstand things?
Also, that maid in Tsing Yi stood there shaking all the time. What is the future of such a person?
Is this the person you picked? Are you still aggrieved?"
Fang Rong rubbed the hit area and whispered: "Old slave, I think they are quite clever. Who knew, who knew they were useless. Miss, what should I do next?"
Ning He was so angry that his tooth ached. He pointed at Fang Rong and said, "Now that I know what to do, if you use more time, will I suffer a loss in Ning Wei's hands?"
Fang Rong didn't dare to speak anymore, lowered his head and rubbed his shoulders.
When Ning He saw that Fang Rong kept rubbing his shoulders, it was his nanny after all, so she couldn't bear it. She kept blaming her, but she finally endured it.
Asked in a low voice: "Does it hurt?"
Fang Rong quickly stopped, stood up straight and said, "It doesn't hurt!"
Ning He pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Come here, let me take a look."
Fang Rong waved his hand and said: "You don't need it, Miss, it won't hurt me."
Ning He had a sullen face and said impatiently: "I'll ask you to come and sit down."
Fang Rongcheng moved over in fear and sat on the chair. Ning He reached out and pulled Fang Rong's collar.
Fang Rong shrank back in fear.
Ning He said solemnly with a straight face: "Don't move."
Fang Rong froze, not daring to move.
Ning He pulled open Fang Rong's collar and saw some redness and swelling on the collarbone, but it was not too serious. He said lightly: "Go back and apply some medicine."
Fang Rong bowed to express his thanks, and while adjusting his collar, he said, "Thank you, miss. I understand."
Ning He ignored Fang Rong and leaned on the soft couch, staring at the carvings on the roof beams, thinking about how to deal with Ning Wei.
Ning He thought about what Ning Wei said to her, and turned to look at Fang Rong, "Mom, tell me, has Ning Wei changed?"
Fang Rong straightened her clothes, turned to look at Ning He, and replied: "I don't know, I don't know, but the eldest lady doesn't seem to be as easy to talk to as before."
Not only is it difficult to talk, Ning Wei now seems like a completely different person.
When did Ning Wei change? It seems like it started when Hu Rui came to her side...
Ning He suddenly thought of something, immediately sat up, stared at Fang Rong and said, "Have you found out Hu Rui's origin?"
Fang Rong shook her head, "Hu Rui was with the eldest lady when she lived in Baoping Lane. The old slave inquired about Zaohua and Mulberry Ye, but they both kept silent."
Ning He thought thoughtfully, "There must be someone close to my grandmother who knows about it. You should ask the people in Jing'an Hall."
Fang Rong suddenly realized, "The young lady is right, I will go and find out now."
Saying that, Fang Rong was about to stand up.
Ning He stopped her and said, "Don't be anxious, we will check this matter later later.
You go and explain, let them keep their mouths shut, keep today's events in their stomachs, and if anyone talks behind their back, they will be fined and sold out."
Fang Rong bowed in agreement, got up and went to the door.
Ning He sat on the soft couch, his mind filled with Ning Wei's arrogance.
Growing up, she had always been the one to bully her, but for the first time, she stumbled with Ning Wei.
Ning He went crazy, slammed the table, and then lay back on the soft couch.
"Ouch!" Ning He cried out in pain.
Ning He turned over and saw the culprit that caused her pain - the zodiac sheep that Shi Jingyang carved for her.
Ning He lay on the soft couch and reached out to pick up the wood carving and look at it carefully. He seemed to see Shi Jingyang's knuckled hands holding the wood and his eyes gazing at the wood tenderly...
Ning He let out a long sigh and murmured: "I actually envy a piece of wood in my life."
After saying that, Ning He touched the lamb's head and said softly: "You must be very happy to be held in his hand, right?"
"Where is your lady?" Mrs. Zhao's voice sounded outside the door.
"Go back to Madam, the young lady is in the house."
The news about Cuixue Pavilion reached Lingyun Pavilion. When Mrs. Zhao heard that her daughter had been bullied by Ning Wei, she immediately brought her maid and mother-in-law over.
Ning He heard Mrs. Zhao's voice, stuffed the wooden sculpture in his hand under the pillow, stood up and went out to greet her.
When Mrs. Zhao came in and saw that Ning He was fine, her anxious heart relaxed a little, "He'er, how are you? You're not hurt, are you? You bunch of useless things."
Mrs. Zhao turned around and scolded the servants of Cuixueyuan.
All the maids and women stood aside with their hands down, staring at their toes, not daring to express their anger.
Ning He held Mr. Zhao's hand and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be angry, my daughter is fine."
After saying that, Ning He said to Fang Rong: "Mommy, take them down."
Fang Rong received the order and hurriedly led his servants out.
Mrs. Xiao Zhao sat on the soft couch, stared at Ning He, looked up and down, and asked worriedly: "He'er, is everything okay?"
Ning He said coquettishly: "It's really nothing, Mom, don't worry."
After hearing Ning He's words, Mrs. Xiao Zhao felt relieved when she saw that she didn't look like anything was wrong.
"You are just too kind-hearted.
When that bitch comes over, you shouldn't let her enter the yard. If she dares to force her way in, take the opportunity to let the maid and mother-in-law beat that little prodigal hard. Even if she is beaten to death, she deserves it."
Mrs. Zhao only knew that Ning Wei led people into Cuixue Pavilion, but she didn't know that Ning Wei took 50,000 taels of silver notes from Ning He.
Ning He poured tea for Mrs. Zhao and said with a smile: "Thank you, grandma, I love He'er the most.
He'er has made a note of it. If Ning Wei dares to come again next time, He'er will do as my mother said and beat her out."
Mrs. Zhao took the tea from Ning He and asked, "What are you doing here, little bitch?"
Ning He did not hide anything and told Mrs. Zhao the whole story, including the fifty thousand taels of silver.
Sure enough, when Mrs. Zhao learned that Ning Wei had taken 50,000 taels of silver from Ning He, she became furious.
She scolded sternly: "The little bitch is so poor that she came to you to extort money. I will go and settle the account with her."
Ning He quickly took Mrs. Zhao's hand and advised her gently: "Mom, calm down."
Mrs. Zhao turned around and asked: "You little bitch has bullied you, how do you want me to calm down?
He'er, don't stop me. I'll go find the little bitch to settle the score, and then I'll go to the old woman to comment.
Humph, the good granddaughter taught by the old woman dares to reach out to you for money."
Ning He held Mrs. Xiao Zhao's hand tightly and said, "Auntie, my daughter handled this matter improperly and let others take advantage of her."
Mrs. Zhao blurted out and asked: "What's wrong with you? You didn't do anything. What's wrong with you?"
"Auntie, this matter..." Ning He looked at Mrs. Zhao blankly.
Mrs. Xiao Zhao looked at Ning He and said solemnly: "You didn't do anything, how can you get the handle?"
"But, that old woman from Yasuo..." Ning He raised his finger and pointed outside.
Mrs. Xiao Zhao asked back: "What happened to the wife in Yasuo? What does it have to do with you? This is just a little bitch talking to herself. Her purpose is to extort money from you. She is a bully."
Ning He seemed to understand a little, his eyes flashed brightly, but he was still a little worried, "But the mother-in-law of Yasuo has met Aunt Gu."
Mrs. Xiao Zhao said: "So what if I've seen it before? Fang Rong refuses to admit it, who can do anything to her?"
He'er, you are better than the little bitch in everything, you have no reason to harm her, and she took the banknote from you for everyone to see."
Ning He nodded repeatedly, "Auntie, He'er understands."
Ning He looked at Zhao with admiration in her eyes. In all her life, she had never admired someone as much as she did now.
Mrs. Xiao Zhao then said: "After a while, let's go to Jing'an Hall to make a big fuss.
You don't need to say anything, just remember that you have done nothing, Fang Rong has not done anything.
Everything is just what the little bitch talks about. The rest is up to grandma."
Ning He nodded heavily, "Okay, my daughter understands."
Mrs. Xiao Zhao said: "Let Fang Rong come in and I will say a few words to her."
Ning He nodded and said in a loud voice: "Aunt Rong, come in."
When Fang Rong heard Ning He's shout, her heart skipped a beat, and she opened the door and came in nervously.
When Mrs. Zhao saw Fang Rong coming in, she said to her, "Come here, I have something to tell you."
Fang Rong became even more nervous and quickly looked at Ning He. Ning He saw her looking over and gave her a reassuring look.
Fang Rong bent his knees and said to Mrs. Zhao, "Yes."
Mrs. Zhao waited for Fang Rong to get closer and whispered: "I know everything about today.
You just need to remember one thing, you don't know anything about the Yasuo. He'er never asked you to do anything, and you, following He'er all day long, only know about things related to He'er's food, clothing, housing and transportation.
You don't know anything else. Do you understand?"
Ning He took the words and added: "Everything today is what the eldest sister said to herself, with the purpose of extorting money from me. Due to the affection between sisters, I didn't want her to be too embarrassed, so I gave her money.
"
Fang Rong's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I understand."
This is the best way to deal with it. If you can take it out this way, Fang Rong will certainly be happy.
When Mrs. Zhao saw Fang Rong's aura, she nodded with satisfaction and warned again: "For now, just complain, and for the rest, just ask questions. Do you understand?"
Fang Rong bent his knees and responded, "Yes, I understand."
Mrs. Zhao stood up and said, "Let's go to Jing'an Hall."
In Fangfeiyuan, Chang Le and Qiao Yi brought the banquet from Fengle House.
The jujube flowers and mulberry leaves were preparing to set the table when the winter flowers from Jing'an Hall came in.
When Zaohua saw Donghui coming, she hurriedly greeted her and said, "Sister Donghui, you came just in time, stay and have dinner together."
Donghui said: "Let's not talk about eating for now. Let's go and report first and ask the lady to go to Jing'an Hall as soon as possible."
Seeing Donghui's sad face, Zaohua quickly put away her smile and said, "Sangye, go and report. Sister Donghui, what happened?"
Zaohua first asked Mulberry Ye, then turned to ask Donghui.
Donghui said: "Madam and the second young lady went to Jing'an Hall and cried and made noise, saying that the eldest lady went to Cuixue Pavilion today and blackmailed the second young lady of fifty thousand taels of silver."
"What nonsense!" Zaohua was so angry at Zhao's confusing words that she wanted to curse.
"Sister Donghui, please invite me." Sang Ye came out and said.
Donghui walked towards the house.
Ning Wei saw the worry on Dong Hui's face and asked, "Mr. Zhao and Ning He went to Jing'an Hall?"
Donghui admired Ning Wei's keenness and bent her knees and replied: "Yes, madam and the second lady went to Jing'an Hall, saying that the eldest lady went to Cuixue Pavilion today to blackmail the second lady of 50,000 taels of silver.
I want the old lady to comment. The old lady asked her servant to invite the eldest lady over."
Ning Wei turned to look at Hu Rui, "Sir, let's go sit in Jing'an Hall."
Hu Rui nodded, "Let's go."
Zaohua asked: "Miss, do you want me to take Qiuniang and the others with me?"
Ning Wei shook her head, "No need."
"Why not? Can't Qiuniang and the others testify? Qiuniang and her family are still in the hands of the second lady." Zaohua asked puzzledly.
Ning Wei smiled and said lightly: "If Mrs. Zhao dares to make a big fuss in Jing'an Hall and say that I extorted Ning He's money, she will not recognize everything Ning He has done before."
Sang Ye said angrily: "We have both personal and material evidence, and we cannot tolerate her denying it."
Ning Wei smiled and said: "With our evidence, it's okay to bluff Ning He, but I'm afraid it won't work to bluff Zhao."
Zaohua looked at Hu Rui and asked, "Sir, our evidence can't hold our evidence against Madam?"
