Deng Ning cried and stepped forward to hold the second young master Deng. The second young master Deng flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "Now you know you are crying? When we were locked up in prison, have you ever thought about crying for us?"
?Do you know how much eldest brother has suffered for you? Let me tell you, if eldest brother and father don't forgive you, I will never recognize you as my sister in this life."
When Deng Ning heard this, she looked shocked and slowly let go of Young Master Deng. She thought that even if the family was angry, they would just curse a few words and be fine, but she never expected that her second brother would say such heartless words.
Deng Ning cried: "Okay, if you don't recognize me, that's it. I'll go find my father and eldest brother. They love me and won't care about me!"
The second young master Deng said calmly: "There is no need to look for it. Why bother asking for trouble? I am being polite to you. Dad and eldest brother made a promise the moment they returned home. They will never recognize you again. You give up and go back to be you."
Wife of the Liu family, don’t be embarrassed here."
After that, he angrily said to the two boys on the side: "What are you still standing there for? Pull me out!"
The boys originally did not dare to touch Deng Ning because they were used to Deng Ning's unruly behavior, but now they saw that the second young master Deng had a decisive tone and could not disobey, so they had no choice but to step forward and pull Deng Ning away.
Deng Ning brushed it away and glared, "You dare to touch me? Get away!" After that, she looked at the second young master Deng sadly, "Second brother, are you really so heartless?"
"It was you who was ruthless first!" He didn't even look at Deng Ning, but said to the two boys: "Get out quickly, so as not to disturb the old man." After that, he walked away coldly.
Deng Ning sat on the ground sadly and despairingly, and burst into tears.
The housekeeper shook his head and stepped forward and said, "Miss, if I had known this today, why did I do it in the first place? You should go back. The old man hates you so much that I'm afraid he won't agree to your return." After that, he left with a sigh.
Deng Ning cried hard and looked very miserable. Two people came forward to pull her and whispered: "Miss, what should I do now?"
What should I do? Deng Ning stopped crying and looked at her familiar home. This was no longer her home. What could she do?
In the past, whenever she cried once, her father and brother would feel extremely distressed. They would try to get her whatever she wanted. But now she cried till she was hoarse, but no one came to look at her. She knew that this family,
I really don’t want her anymore.
Great panic surged in her heart. She looked at the two maids hesitantly, and she had no idea at the moment.
The maid said: "Why don't we go back to Liu's house."
Deng Ning sobbed and said, "I had a quarrel with that damn ghost. If I go back like this, wouldn't I be looked down upon by him?"
"But we have nowhere to go now!" The maid looked around and saw that the huge Deng Mansion was empty. Maybe everyone knew that they were back, and because the master was angry, no one except the two boys just now.
Don't dare to come out.
Deng Ning gritted her teeth and said, "No, I still have somewhere to go. Let's go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find our godfather."
Deng Ning came to the prime minister's house, but Wang Zhenxi was not in the house. Wang Xiangjun heard that Deng Ning was coming and came out to greet her in person. When Deng Ning saw Wang Xiangjun, she cried aggrievedly, told her family's kindness to her, and begged Wang Xiangjun to take her in.
Wang Xiangjun already regarded her as his younger sister. Although she was not his biological child, they still had friendship after being together for so long. He immediately sighed and said: "Silly sister, you are so wrong. Stay here first. I will give birth in two days."
Go to the Liu Mansion and ask your brother-in-law to take you back."
Deng Ning respected Wang Xiangjun very much. Now that she heard what she said, she had no choice but to accept it for the time being. Lihua said with rain: "My sister treats me well. Even my family doesn't want me. My sister is still willing to take me in. I'm so grateful."
.”
Wang Xiangjun shook his head, "You really went too far. No wonder Uncle Deng. They were also angry for a moment. When they calm down, you can go back and ask for their forgiveness. After all, we are your own flesh and blood, and they will not deny you."
Deng Ning nodded weakly, "Sister, I know!"
The news of Deng Ning leaving in anger soon spread in the Liu Mansion, and no one said anything. This mess would be less troublesome if Deng Ning was not around.
The old man wanted to make peace with his father-in-law's family, so he asked the concubine to write a letter and send it home. Euzhou is now also in the drought-stricken area. The Wen family was originally a wealthy and well-known local family. Mr. Wen is now more than a hundred years old, worthy of
He was known as Gaoshou and was a philanthropic person. When the drought came, he had already donated money to dig wells and dredge rivers in the local area. However, the project was so huge that it was only a drop in the bucket. The consequences of the drought gradually became serious.
In the golden autumn of this year, there was no harvest. After winter, people's homes no longer had any surplus food, and rice shops also took the opportunity to raise prices. The people were miserable, and public security gradually became chaotic.
On this day, the prefect made an appointment with several well-known squires from Yuzhou to come to the Yamen to discuss the disaster situation. The prefect was actually helpless. This so-called meeting was just to ask the merchants to contribute some money. However, those who are willing to contribute money should be invited early.
If you don't want to give out, you will naturally tighten your purse strings and not give out any money.
After discussing for half a day, there was no result.
Afterwards, the prefect looked at Mr. Wen and said: "Mr. Wen, I heard that the concubine has been kind to the regent in raising me. Could you please ask Mr. Wen to write a letter and send it to the capital? Please give the concubine a few words on behalf of the people of Yuzhou.
Let the imperial court allocate funds to meet urgent needs?"
Mr. Wen said in embarrassment: "My lord, I am not willing to help, but as an official of the imperial court, you should know that the harem does not interfere with politics. This is a rule set by our ancestors!"
The magistrate nodded, stretched out his hand to smooth his gray beard, and said: "That's right, as a concubine, you also have difficulties as a concubine. However, the concubine is gentle and virtuous, considerate of the people, and has been taught by Duke Wen since she was a child. She is gentle, courteous and modest.
....."
Before the prefect finished speaking, someone sneered and said contemptuously: "Yes, he taught me carefully, but what he taught may not be all good. Your Excellency, you have forgotten about Wen Xunxiu's elopement with the poor.
What?"
The speaker was an old man who was also over a hundred years old. He was the uncle of the Queen Mother, named Zhou Shicai, and he was also a prominent local family. He had been at odds with Mr. Wen since he was a child. The two families were feuding and basically had no contact with each other.
Every time he gets an opportunity, he will use this incident to attack Mr. Wen. However, Mr. Wen regards this matter as a shame and will fall out with anyone who mentions it.
Mr. Wen immediately had a long face, but this matter was also true. He couldn't refute a word, so he had to suppress his anger deep in his heart and turned away without speaking.
The prefect quickly changed the topic and discussed disaster relief with several other people.
Mrs. Wen went home that night, didn't even eat, and went back to his room angrily.
No one in the family knew what had happened. In order to make his grandfather happy, Grandpa Wen’s grandson, the concubine’s brother, took the concubine’s family letter and read it to the old man. Unexpectedly, the old man did not hear the following and only heard the concubine’s words.
When the concubine told her about her aunt, she became angry, tore up the family letter, and drove her grandson out.
