Mrs. Qian stood up and said, "Okay, I'm going to take a lunch break. Sister Qing is awake. Sister Wei, please come and call me."
Ning Wei nodded in agreement: "Wei'er, remember, hurry up and take a lunch break. When Mrs. Jiang wakes up, she will send someone over to call you. Yue Niang, Dong Hui, wait for grandma to take a lunch break."
Just as Mrs. Qian left, Zaohua came in and said, "Miss, Qiao Yi is back."
Ning Wei said: "Invite him in." Zaohua stepped back.
Ning Wei raised her head and said to Wei Yuan: "Uncle Wei, my brother and I have severed ties with Ning Guangyan. Qiao Yi just went to the Yamen to set up a household for my brother. In the coming days, we will temporarily live in Mingyuan."
Wei Yuan nodded, "I understand. If Miss finds it inconvenient, I can take my mother to find a place nearby."
Ning Wei said hurriedly: "It's not inconvenient. I just told Uncle Wei that from now on we will live in the same place and take care of each other like a family."
Wei Yuan wanted to say something else, but when Qiao knocked on the door and came in, Wei Yuan said nothing more.
When Qiao Yi came in and bowed to greet him, he took out the household registration book from his arms and handed it to Ning Wei, "Miss, the second master's account has been set up. Miss, keep it."
Ning Wei reached out to take it, looked down and saw that the head of the household, Ning Yu, took it from her grandmother, Ning Qian, and then her own name.
At this moment, Ning Wei felt at ease.
In the past few days since her return, all her forbearance was just to get rid of Ning Guangyan and the Zhao family and have this piece of household registration.
Now it’s finally happened!
From now on, everything will be a new beginning.
Ning Wei happily accepted the household registration book and said to Qiao: "Thank you for your hard work."
Qiao Yi leaned forward and said, "Miss, you are serious. When I arrived at the Yamen, I happened to meet Lu Fuyin sending the prince out.
When Lu Fuyin learned that I had gone to apply for household registration for the second master, he personally took him to find Si Hu to join the army, and even stood by and watched as Si Hu joined the army and completed the household registration for the second master."
Ning Wei smiled and said: "I dare to thank you again for the favor of the prince."
Qiao Yi smiled, raised his hand and scratched his head, and said, "It should be, Lu Fuyin is very polite anyway."
Ning Wei said: "Okay, I understand, you can go down."
Qiao bowed and stepped back.
Wei Yuan smiled and said: "The friendship between the Second Master and Shizi is very deep."
Ning Wei nodded, "Well, my brother and his son-in-law are both under the sect of Master Yang. They are considered fellow seniors. They have known each other for more than ten years."
"The friendship between teenagers is the most pure and true, which is enviable." Wei Yuan said with emotion.
When Wei Yuan was ten years old, his family suffered a disaster, and he experienced all kinds of suffering in the world. There was a time when he didn't even dare to tell anyone his real name, let alone talk about friendship.
Ning Wei thought of the friendship between Wei Yuan and Doctor Hu and Hu Rui in the previous life, and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily the case. Pure friendship does not lie in age or gender, but in meeting people with similar interests and who can talk together."
Wei Yuan did not refute, but smiled bitterly and said: "Maybe, the ship carrying grain will arrive in Beijing tomorrow, and a lot of people will be needed to unload the cargo. I will go to the dock to have a look."
Ning Wei nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wei."
"You're welcome, Miss. This is my responsibility."
Wei Yuan bowed and said goodbye.
Ning Wei sent Wei Yuan to the yard, watched him get in the car and leave, then turned and went to the study.
"Sir, come with me to the study."
"Okay!" Hu Rui agreed.
Before the two entered the study, Ning Wei told Zaohua: "Don't let anyone come in and disturb you."
The jujube flower bends its knees to respond.
Entering the study, Hu Rui asked curiously: "Are Mr. Wei and Mrs. Jiang from the capital?"
Ning Wei nodded and explained the relationship between Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Qian.
Hu Rui was filled with emotion when he heard this, saying that his fate was very strange.
Ning Wei said to Hu Rui: "I called you sir, I have something to discuss with you."
When Hu Rui saw Ning Wei talking about business, his expression became serious and asked: "What's the matter? Miss, please tell me."
Ning Wei handed Hu Rui the letter of severance written by Ning Guangyan, "Sir, take a look and let this out, especially to those storytellers in teahouses and restaurants. I want this to spread throughout the capital in two days."
Hu Rui was very interested and asked with a smile: "Okay! Miss, are you going to fight back?"
Ning Wei said: "That's right. Ning Guangyan and Zhao are too busy, so let's find something for them to do. In addition, there is one more thing that I need you to do for me."
Hu Rui looked at Ning Wei, "Miss, please tell me."
Ning Wei said: "Ninghe has a well-educated gentleman named Ye Shu, who is from the Ye family in Hangzhou. This person has the reputation of being the most talented woman in Hangzhou.
When Ye Shu was fifteen years old, she married Qin Shaomin, the eldest son of Qin Guangdi, who was the governor of Hangzhou. However, in the month of their wedding, Qin Shaomin fell into the West Lake and drowned while traveling with friends.
The Qin family said that Ye Shu was hard on her husband and kicked her out of the house, so Ye Shu returned to the Ye family.
The Ye family in Hangzhou had business contacts with the Zhao family in Beijing, and the Zhao family admired Ye Shu very much.
When Ning He was seven years old, Ye Shu came to teach Ning He.
Last autumn, Ye Shu took leave and went back to Hangzhou to visit relatives. Thinking about it, Ye Shu should return to Beijing these days.
The Ye family’s capital residence is at Ye Mansion on Fushun Road.
Sir, please go and inquire to see if Ye Shu has returned to Beijing. If she does, prevent her from returning to Ning He.
If she has returned to Ning He, I think she will not be able to stay in Ning Mansion any longer."
Hu Rui nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll do it now. Miss didn't sleep all night last night, and she's been busy for a long time today, so she needs to go and take a rest."
Ning Wei nodded, "Okay, I know."
After Hu Rui left, Ning Wei leaned on the chair, took out the household registration book again, and looked at it again and again.
Only then did she believe that she and her brother had really gotten rid of Ning Guangyan and the Zhao family.
In Ning Mansion, when she heard that her grandmother asked Ning Guangyan to write a letter of renunciation, her heart was in her throat, for fear that Ning Guangyan would not agree.
Later, Ning Guangyan wrote a letter of renunciation. Even if several elders in the clan signed it, she was still worried that Ning Guangyan would regret it.
It wasn't until Qiao Yi handed the household registration book to her that she believed everything was true.
Ning Wei reached out and touched the name of the head of household in the household registration book, and couldn't help but smile.
Ning Wei looked at the household registration book and giggled for a while. She put the household registration book into the secret compartment of the bookcase with satisfaction, then returned to the inner room and fell asleep.
Although she was not sleepy at the moment, she had to sleep. Tomorrow, the food from Jiangnan would arrive.
In the days to come, she had to make money and fight against the Zhao family. She had a lot to do and she had to be energetic.
At the Zhao Mansion in Shuanglian Lane, Mrs. Zhao waited left and right, but did not wait for the message from Jingzhao Mansion.
Mrs. Zhao told Nanny Qin: "Let me go and see if anyone from Jingzhao Mansion has come to deliver a message?"
Aunt Qin bowed her knees and went to the door to give instructions.
Just as Nanny Qin sent her people out, Yinzhu came in and said, "Nanny, the master has come over."
Nanny Qin was stunned for a moment, then turned around and went into the house to report to Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao raised her head and looked at the chest of drawers and said, "Isn't the master at the Yamen at this point? Why did he come over here?"
Aunt Qin said: "Maybe the master knew about Young Master Biao and was worried about his wife, so he came over to take a look."
Zhao was very satisfied with Ning Guangyan putting her first in everything. "It's difficult for the master. He wants to do it. Let's go and greet the master."
Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was in a good mood, Aunt Qin immediately flattered her: "Madam, you are blessed. Our master only has madam in his eyes and heart, and matters related to madam are our important matters."
Zhao said with satisfaction: "This master has indeed done a good job."
Mrs. Zhao led her maid and mother-in-law to the outer courtyard, and on the way met a servant who had come back to inquire.
When the servant saw Ms. Zhao, she bent her knees and said, "Go back to Madam, I have asked the concierge. The concierge said that no one from Jingzhao Mansion came to deliver the message."
Mrs. Zhao frowned slightly and said, "I know, let's go down."
Zhao continued to walk forward. Nanny Qin looked at Zhao's face and asked tentatively: "Madam, is it possible that a high-ranking official took money and did nothing?"
Mrs. Zhao gritted her teeth and said, "He doesn't dare!" Even so, Mrs. Zhao was not sure.
Mrs. Zhao came to the outer courtyard and saw Ning Guangyan standing with her brother talking. She walked over to greet him and asked, "Why are you here, Master?"
Ning Guangyan replied: "I heard something happened to Brother Qing, so I came over to have a look. People can't be resurrected after death, so my uncle wants to express his condolences."
Zhao Xinglong thanked him with a sad face. "You guys talk, I will arrange some things."
After Zhao Xinglong left, Ning Guangyan looked around and said to Zhao, "Looking for a place to talk. I have something to say to my wife."
Seeing Ning Guangyan's serious expression, Mrs. Zhao looked around and said to Ning Guangyan, "Master, come with me."
Mrs. Zhao led Ning Guangyan to an empty courtyard and said to Nanny Qin: "You guys wait outside and don't let anyone come in."
Everyone bowed their knees in response.
Entering the courtyard, Mrs. Zhao turned to look at Ning Guangyan and asked, "Master, what's the matter?"
Ning Guangyan met Zhao's gaze and asked, "Did you ask people from Jingzhao Mansion to go to Gongyuan to question Brother Yu?"
Mrs. Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and she looked away guiltily, "Is this where the master is questioning me?
Brother Qing had someone take his life. The official asked who Brother Qing had an affair with?
Brother Qing, apart from not being able to deal with Ning Yu, is the best friend of anyone else. The master also knows this.
When the official asked, I told the truth. Is it wrong?
Just because Ning Yu is the master’s son, even if Ning Yu harms Brother Qing, the master will still speak for Ning Yu, is that right?”
Zhao turned around and questioned Ning Guangyan, her voice getting louder and louder.
Ning Guangyan saw that Zhao was angry and said quickly: "Please lower your voice, that's not what I meant..."
Zhao said resolutely: "Then what do you mean, sir? As soon as I came, I questioned my concubine. The prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people. I can't even think of excusing Ning Yu."
The more Zhao spoke, the more indignant she became. She wiped her tears and yelled at Ning Guangyan.
Ning Guangyan protected Ning Yu in front of her, which really hurt her heart. Zhao was really indignant.
Ning Guangyan saw Zhao crying and explained in a panic: "Madam, I didn't excuse Ning Yu. I just asked you, how come I am excusing him?"
Seeing Ning Guangyan's panicked explanation, Mrs. Zhao continued to talk nonsense: "When I met you, I asked the concubine to question me and asked the official to question Ning Yu. Isn't that to question me? What is that?
I know that Ning Yu and Ning Wei are the master's legitimate sons and daughters, and they are the beloved ones born to him by his first wife.
The master has always only had Zhao Jinhua in his heart, and I am nothing in my heart."
Mrs. Zhao was crying and talking, and the more she talked, the sadder she became.
Ning Guangyan pulled Zhao into his arms.
Zhao struggled hard, beating Ning Guangyan with her hands while resisting, "Since I only have Ning Yu and Ning Wei born from Zhao Jinhua in my heart, what are you doing here looking for a concubine?"
Ning Guangyan hugged Ms. Zhao hard to prevent her from resisting, lowered her head and said in a deep voice: "I kicked Ning Yu and Ning Wei out of the Ning Mansion and severed ties with them."
Zhao still wanted to resist, but after hearing Ning Guangyan's words, she raised her head and looked at Ning Guangyan in astonishment, and asked after a long time: "What did the master say?"
Seeing that Zhao stopped struggling, Ning Guangyan relaxed his arms around Zhao a little. He looked down at Zhao and said, "Just now, I kicked Ning Yu and Ning Wei out of the Ning Mansion and broke up with them. relation."
With that said, Ning Guangyan took out the letter of renunciation from his body and handed it to Mrs. Zhao. "Madam, look at this. This is the letter of renunciation."
Mrs. Zhao looked at Ning Guangyan, reached out to take the book of severance, and opened it to read.
Zhao watched it three times in succession. Although this result was what she had always wanted, it happened so suddenly that it felt unreal to her.
Ms. Zhao raised her head and asked, "How come you are so good, why do you think of severing ties with them?"
Ning Guangyan didn't want to tell Mr. Zhao that he was forced by Mrs. Qian, so he said: "I have wanted to do this for a long time. From now on, whether Ning Yu and Ning Wei are alive or dead, good or bad, will be different from us. It doesn’t matter at all.”
Mrs. Zhao lowered her head to look at the renunciation letter in her hand, and thought to herself that the master suddenly made up his mind to cut off the father-son relationship with Ning Yu. Could it be that Ning Yu was arrested by a high-ranking official and sent to the Yamen, which made the master lose face, so the master broke up with him? A father-son relationship?
Thinking that Ning Yu had been caught, Mrs. Zhao was ecstatic, but she said on her face: "I am not asking you to sever ties with them.
I feel sorry for Brother Qing. Brother Qing died so tragically. I watched Brother Qing grow up. Ning Yu, this child, is so cruel. Alas, my poor Brother Qing..."
Before Zhao finished speaking, Nanny Qin walked in, bent her knees and said: "Madam, Lu Fuyin and Gao Tuiguan from Jingzhao Mansion are here. Along with Lu Fuyin, there are also several people from Daxiangguo Temple. A master."
Zhao asked puzzledly: "What did you say? Lu Fuyin? Master of Daxiangguo Temple?"
Nanny Qin leaned forward and said, "Yes. The old lady and my uncle are now in the living room to receive Lu Fuyin. The old lady sent someone to invite the madam and the old man."
Zhao and Ning Guangyan looked at each other and said, "I know. Let's go there right away."
Aunt Qin stepped back.
Zhao asked: "Why did Lu Fuyin bring the master from Daxiangguo Temple here?"
Ning Guangyan, the monk Zhang Er, was also confused. He shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Let's go over and have a look."
Zhao and Ning Guangyan came out of the courtyard and went to the living room together.
The two entered the living room. Zhao Hequan stood up as if he had seen a savior and said, "Xiaoman, uncle, Lu Fuyin has come over."
Lu Fuyin stood up, bowed towards Ning Guangyan and Zhao, and said, "Hello, Ning Yuanwai Lang, Madam!"
Ning Guangyan returned the courtesy with his hand in hand, and after some pleasantries, he took his seat according to his rank.
After everyone sat down, without waiting for Zhao to ask, Lu Fuyin spoke first: "I am deeply saddened by such a tragic incident in my house."
