Chapter 24: Acting
"The wicked girl still doesn't kneel!" Ning Hong shouted angrily.
Ning Zhao didn't make any moves, instead raised his eyes and looked straight at Ning Hong, his eyes were full of tears, and he was pitiful.
Acting, who wouldn't!
Was the palace struggle practiced for nothing?!
"Father, I know I'm wrong." Ning Zhao choked up, and a tear fell, that look was really pitiful to me.
Chen and Ning Jian were almost shocked and their jaws dropped, they didn't expect Ning Zhao to actually come to this trick!
Ning Hong was also stunned.
Ning Zhao has grown so big, he actually pays very little attention, and he always feels that he hasn't seen him for a long time, and Ning Zhao has grown up.
Because of the Chen family, Ning Hong completely snubbed Ning Zhao's mother, and he didn't even take this daughter seriously.
Ning Zhao's sudden appearance not only shocked the Chen mother and daughter, but Ning Hong was even more surprised, and then he actually had a feeling of brightness.
Ning Zhao has such a posture, a smile can affect people's hearts, as long as he grasps this daughter, he is worried that he can't find a new backer!
"Master......" Chen took the lead in coming back to his senses, looked at Ning Hong, met his slightly stunned expression, and his heart was even more angry, and put the teacup he had just picked up back on the table.
This movement brought Ning Hong back to his senses, and he hurriedly looked at Chen and gave a reassuring look.
The new backer is good, but the father-in-law's mountain can't be lost!
"Ahem...... Ning Hong cleared his throat and said sternly: "Then tell me what you did wrong?" Also, tell me where I went last night. ”
"Yes, father." Ning Zhao raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and a chill flashed on his face at the moment when his sleeves covered it.
Ning Zhao handed the medicinal materials in his hand forward, his expression returned to a pitiful look, and said softly: "My mother's body has improved after using the medicine, but seeing that the medicine has been drunk, my mother's body is finally getting better, I can't let her fall short because of the lack of medicine." Therefore, I had to go up the mountain to collect medicine for my mother. ”
Speaking of this, Ning Zhao choked up slightly: "But I rarely go out of the house on weekdays, let alone enter the mountains, I only think about collecting medicine, but I got lost in the deep mountains, but fortunately, I found a cave, so I barely spent the night safely." ”
As Ning Zhao spoke, his little hands clenched tightly, and outsiders looked nervous and afraid.
Following her movements, Ning Hong and the others noticed her torn clothes.
"Go up the mountain to collect medicine?" Ning Hong frowned and asked, "There is no medicine in the medicine shop, and you still need to go up the mountain to pick it." ”
Hearing this, Ning Zhao glanced at the Chen family on the side, his eyes shrank a little, and he whispered: "That's because, because I don't have the money to buy ......."
"Ridiculous!" Ning Hong smiled angrily, "The second lady of the dignified servant's mansion, I don't have the money to buy medicine, Ning Zhao, Ning Zhao, don't you even find a good excuse for lying?" ”
"What I say is true." Ning Zhao raised his voice and replied, "If my father doesn't believe it, you can go to my yard to search and see ...... in person."
As she spoke, she paused, and then choked up: "The amount of money that Mrs. allocates every month is only enough for a few days of medicine for my mother......
Ning Zhao's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he sobbed as low as he could.
The cicada who knew the truth was already stunned, and looked at her young lady blankly, she wanted to believe it because of her wave!
"Bastard!" The old man's voice came, and several people in the main hall looked at the source of the sound in unison.
Ning Zhao saw Mrs. Ning walking slowly, she didn't care about the tears in the corners of her eyes, stepped forward quickly, respectfully supported Mrs. Ning, and said with concern: "Grandma, why are you here, are you also here to blame Ah Zhao?" Ah Zhao already knew that he was wrong. ”
Mrs. Ning looked her up and down, frowned at her torn clothes, then retracted her gaze and motioned for Ning Zhao to help her into the main hall.
"Mother, why is it here?" Ning Hong got up to greet him, and Chen also became courteous.
"Yes, my mother is not in good health, so I don't have to worry about this little thing."
"Humph!" Mrs. Ning snorted coldly, glanced at Chen, and said solemnly: "If I don't come, I will let someone in the backyard bully and suppress me, will the chicken and dog be restless?" ”
"Humph! I'm not dead yet! Mrs. Ning swept over the few people present, and after saying this, she sat down.
Chen was taken aback by her words and wanted to defend herself, but Ning Zhao didn't give her this opportunity, and opened her mouth first: "It's all because Ah Zhao is not good, so I made grandma angry, grandma, you are not well, don't be angry." ”
After that, she looked at Chen, and then said, "It's just to go up the mountain to collect medicine, next time I will definitely memorize the route, and I won't get lost." ”
"And next time?!" Mrs. Ning frowned, looked at Chen, and said, "The head of the house doesn't require you to treat everyone equally, but you still have to have the bearing you should have, after all, you are born in a beautiful girl, and acting like this will inevitably tend to be inferior." ”
"What do you think?" Mrs. Ning asked Chen.
The old face could not see the joy and anger, but it gave people a majesty that could not be ignored.
Chen was questioned, although his heart was on fire, he didn't dare to disobey Mrs. Ning, so he had to reluctantly agree.
Ning Hong looked left and right, he wanted to use Ning Zhao, and naturally he didn't want to be too harsh on her, although he didn't have any father-daughter affection, Ning Hong thought that it was too late to remedy it now.
Of course, he would not know that his mind at the moment was less realistic than daydreaming.
With Ning Lao Taijun coming forward, Ning Hong just didn't have to be caught between the Chen family, but ended up quiet.
The matter of not returning at night was over, and the Chen family not only did not suppress Ning Zhao, but was surrounded by the army and was on fire.
He didn't dare to attack in front of Ning Lao Taijun, so he had to glare at Ning Zhao viciously, until Ning Zhao left with Ning Lao Taijun, and then he was angry and angry with Ning Hong.
Ning Hong had a headache, hastily appeased a few words, and left in a hurry under the pretext that there were still affairs in the court, leaving the Chen mother and daughter staring at each other, both full of grievances.
The green cicada followed Ning Zhao when he left, I don't know if he knelt for a long time or was frightened, he returned to Ning Zhao's courtyard, his legs were still weak.
The courtyard door was closed, and the cicada exhaled a long breath, and hurriedly pulled Ning Zhao, and said anxiously: "Miss has not returned overnight, it is rumored that there are often wild beasts in the mountains, Miss should not go next time." ”
Qing Cicada had obviously believed the nonsense that Ning Zhao had made up, and her little face was full of worry and fear.
Ning Zhao suddenly laughed.
The redness in the corners of her eyes has not yet dissipated, and this smile has added a different style, and the cicadas have been shaken by her.
"That's all lying to them, you can believe it, it's really a simple little girl." Ning Zhao stretched out his hand and scraped the tip of the cicada's nose and quipped.
The cicada was stunned by her, "Lie to them? But ......"
The green cicada pointed to the herbs in Ning Zhao's hand and asked, "Where did this medicine come from?" ”
"Of course I bought it from a drugstore." Ning Zhao casually put the herbs on the stone table, carried the teapot and poured a glass of water.
After talking so much and shedding so many tears at once, she was really a little thirsty.
The cicada who became more and more confused: "......"
Ning Zhao quenched his thirst, looked at the green cicada who was still stunned and stunned, shook his head helplessly, and greeted: "Anyway, it's okay, you send this medicinal herb to your mother, and tell your subordinates to boil the medicine according to the prescription I prescribed before." ”
Ning Zhao regarded the cicada as a relative, but there were some things she couldn't tell her.
First, what Ning Zhao does may be dangerous at any time, and she can't affect others, and second, the cicada is too simple and knows too much, which is not a good thing for her and Ning Zhao after all.
Qing Cicada wanted to ask again, but seeing that Ning Zhao was not far away, he also gave up, picked up the medicinal materials on the table, and went to Dou's place.
The small courtyard was instantly quiet, Ning Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking back to yesterday's hardships, Jin Yuan's face unexpectedly appeared in his mind again.
