Ning Jinyun sat quietly in the room, practicing calligraphy for a while, and Qingyun was grinding ink on the side, talking to her without a match.
"Miss, why hasn't Miss Four come to see you these days?" Qingyun asked casually.
Ning Jinyun also thought of this, "Maybe it's because I'm grounded, it's inconvenient for her to come over, maybe she's worried now, the second uncle has married a few concubines, Yao'er and the second wife must not be having a good time." ā
Qingyun pursed her lips, "The old lady is really, she found three concubines for the second master at once, this is too messy." ā
Ning Jinyun shook his head, "Grandmother should want the Ning family to have more sons, she must have her own plans." ā
Qingyun thought for a while, "Now that Shen Gongzi is gone, we are a lot quieter, it's quite boring." But speaking of Shen Gongzi, why didn't he come here during this time, did he know that you were grounded, why didn't he come and take a look. ā
Speaking of Shen Yunxuan, Ning Jinyun didn't know what he was doing, since she came back from the government last time, she hadn't seen Shen Yunxuan again.
She muttered, "What can he do when he's here?" I'm already in trouble now, I'm in trouble, I'm not in the mood to see him when he comes, what's the good to come. By the way, Qingyun, I asked you to go to Qixiang Courtyard to find out the news, what did you know? ā
Qingyun did try to investigate, but the guards at the door were too strict, and they refused to let out even a fly, so she really had no way to get out.
"Miss, the slave didn't find out, and the people at the door didn't let me out, so I thought about waiting until after dark, and then sneaking out, and then ask an acquaintance over there in Qixiang Courtyard to see what the old lady is doing recently." Qingyun explained.
Ning Jinyun thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, don't inquire, don't take risks at this critical time, lest your grandmother will embarrass you when she finds out." In fact, even if we know some news about Kaixiang Temple, it's not much use, I'm trapped here and can't do anything, whether I know it or not, it's the same, you better not go. ā
Qingyun nodded, now that the Red Peony Courtyard has reduced the number of people, the others can't get out alone, even the most inconspicuous mother-in-law, they can't get out, and the situation is getting worse and worse.
ā¦ā¦
At noon, Aunt Li had lunch alone in the Peony Courtyard, and she always felt that the maids around her were not good enough, and she kept scolding in her mouth.
"What are you doing, I don't know if the wound on my neck is not healed, pour me the tea, don't make me angry!" Aunt Li looked angry and shouted at the little maid next to her.
The little maid had no choice but to tremble and pour the freshly brewed tea, but her hand shook, and a few drops of tea were spilled on Aunt Li's hand.
Aunt Li knocked over the teacup with her backhand, stood up and scolded, "Are you trying to burn me, you dead girl, not only is it useless but also not at ease, did Ning Jinyun send you over to burn me?" Speak, you! ā
The little maid had no choice but to hang her head and admit her mistake, "The slave is wrong, don't be angry and the slave will pour you another glass." ā
"What pour?" Aunt Li roared, "Quickly clean up this, and then get out of here, I can't eat when I see you, don't come into the house in the future, don't come to hinder my eyes!" ā
Hearing this, the little maid was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly began to clean up the teacup fragments on the ground.
After Aunt Li scolded, she still felt angry, and she threw chopsticks and kicked the stool, making a fuss for a while.
After a few moments, a maid named Chunying walked into the house with a letter in her hand.
She said to the little maid who was cleaning up, "Are you making your aunt angry again?" Alright, get out of here, it's none of your business. ā
Chun Ying sent all the people in the house out before handing the letter to Aunt Li.
When Aunt Li saw the name on the letter, she exclaimed, "It's a letter from Hua'er!" ā
Chun Ying nodded, "Yes." ā
Aunt Li muttered while opening the letter, "What can Hua'er say in the letter, if there is anything that can't be said at home, anyway, she will come back tomorrow, and it will be the same when we meet and say no." ā
After the letter was opened, Aunt Li read it carefully, the more she looked at it, the more sad she became, tears fell on the letter paper, and finally when she read it, she slapped the letter on the table and began to cry in a low voice.
Seeing her like this, Chun Ying hurriedly took the letter over and read it, and after reading it, she realized that Ning Jinhua couldn't come back this time.
Ning Jinhua specially wrote to tell Aunt Li about this, her cold attitude towards Yan Liang annoyed Yan Liang, so Yan Liang not only did not allow her to go back to her parents' house, but also grounded her in the house, conniving at people to bully her, and her life was very uncomfortable.
In order to be able to send a letter back, she had to pay a pair of gold hairpins to buy off the little girl, and the money she brought to the Yan family had been spent, so she had to use jewelry as money.
Aunt Li learned that her daughter was doing so unsatisfactorily, how could she not be sad, she originally had a little hope, hoping that Ning Jinhua would be able to live a prosperous and prosperous life after she passed, but now it seems that it is impossible.
Chun Ying saw that Aunt Li had been crying, so she persuaded, ! "Don't cry, it hurts to cry too much." ā
"Why, shouldn't I cry for my daughter?" Aunt Li said with a crying voice.
Chun Ying shook her head, "What the slave means is that it's useless for you to cry now, you might as well help the eldest lady think of ideas to get her through the difficulties." ā
Aunt Li raised her teary eyes and said with a wry smile: "I can't take her out of the Yan family, what else can I do." ā
"Since the eldest lady has been living in the Yan family, then you can help her come up with an idea to make her feel better, it's better than crying for her." Chun Ying suggested, "You can persuade the eldest lady to say some nice things to her husband, and let her lift the ban first." With the appearance and wisdom of the eldest lady, she will definitely be able to coax her husband, will she still be worried about her life when the time comes? ā
Aunt Li stopped crying and thought for a while, what Chun Ying said also made sense, as long as Yan Liang could be coaxed well, wouldn't life be better, why should people not get along with themselves.
"Chunying, bring a pen and paper, I want to write a letter to Hua'er." Aunt Li was interested.

After lunch, a guest came to the Ning Mansion, and it was Mrs. Shen. When Mrs. Ning saw Mrs. Shen, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, Mrs. Shen hadn't come over for a long time, so why did she come here suddenly.
After Mrs. Shen entered the Ming Hall, Mrs. Ning naturally greeted her with a smile.
"What wind brought you here?" Old Mrs. Ning smiled, "I heard that you have been visiting relatives at your mother's house recently, how long have you been back in Qingzhou?" (To be continued.) )
