Chapter 80: Rumors
The quiet path meandered forward, and Ning Zhao stepped on the stone road step by step, his mind unexpectedly calm.
The cicada followed her, looking at her young lady's expression from time to time, so indifferent, she always had the illusion that this time it was just a simple greeting.
However, they know what the truth is.
The hustle and bustle came the next moment, and they may be just passers-by who are cold bystanders, or they may be the initiators of the hustle and bustle.
"Zhao'er has seen her grandmother." Ning Zhao stepped forward and blessed Mrs. Ning on the throne.
Mrs. Ning hadn't seen her for a long time, so she raised her hand and beckoned to her, and said with a smile: "Come here, why didn't you go to the hospital today?" ”
Ning Zhao got up and stepped forward, came to Ning Lao Taijun and bowed his head and said: "Zhao'er has had a headache recently, so I took leave from my master to rest at home, and I was free and my body was getting better, so I came to visit my grandmother." ”
When Mrs. Ning heard this, she couldn't help but look at her worriedly, and said with concern: "Why do you still have a headache?" Isn't it a little sick? ”
Ning Zhao smiled and took Mrs. Ning's hand and gently soothed her, "Zhao'er is fine, maybe there are too many people to see today, I'm a little tired, just take a rest." ”
"You are a doctor, and you have to take care of your body, take care of it, don't let your grandmother worry." Mrs. Ning patted the back of her hand and said with concern.
Ning Zhao nodded, and then as if he remembered something, he looked at Mrs. Ning, looking like she wanted to say something.
Although Mrs. Ning is old, she has been the master of the house for so many years, and she is also very handy in running the backyard. If you have anything to say, you can tell your grandmother directly, and your grandmother will administer justice to you. ”
How Ning Zhao's mother and daughter have been in the house over the years, Ning Lao Taijun knows it, she didn't have any feelings with Ning Zhao at first, so she turned a blind eye, and now Ning Lao Taijun really feels sorry for this granddaughter, thinking that she was wronged not long ago, how can she let her suffer again now.
"Grandmother, it's not me this time......" Ning Zhao looked at Old Taijun Ning, still a little afraid to speak.
Mrs. Ning frowned, and said unhappily: "Let you say that you say it directly, don't hide it." ”
Ning Zhao looked at Mrs. Ning, and then as if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said, "My granddaughter has heard some rumors outside in the past few days, all of which are related to our house......
Ning Zhao looked at Old Taijun Ning's expression, shook his head, and added: "It's all hearsay, don't mention it." ”
"You say!" Mrs. Ning glared at Ning Zhao, "Hear what rumors are there." ”
"But......" Ning Zhao bit his lower lip, a little unsure how to speak.
Mrs. Ning's brows furrowed even tighter, and she urged: "If you say it, just say it!" ”
Ning Zhao was startled, and quickly lowered his head and stood up, looking cowering.
Mrs. Ning looked at her like that, and her heart instantly couldn't bear it, and her tone softened, "Grandmother, listen, if you have anything to say, you will not blame you." ”
Ning Zhao was relieved when he heard this, so he cautiously opened his mouth, "It is rumored that the cousin Young Master Chen is acting outside under the banner of his father, not mentioning the women of good families, and he owes a lot of money because he is addicted to gambling......"
"What?!" Old Taijun Ning was shocked, her eyes widened, and she asked, "Is this really true?" ”
Ning Zhao hurriedly patted Mrs. Ning's back and said comfortingly: "What my granddaughter said is hearsay, whether it is true or not remains to be investigated, grandmother should not be angry, if it is false, you don't need to pay attention to it, don't be angry." ”
"Hmph, there are rumors in the market, and there is no wind and no waves!" Mrs. Ning snorted coldly, then looked at Ning Zhao, and said solemnly: "You are out every day, you can help find out one or two, if this matter is true, I will not spare him!" ”
Ning Zhao hung his head, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and then quickly returned to that cautious and cautious appearance, and replied: "Granddaughter obeys orders, she must inquire carefully!" ”
After a few days, the Taifu Mansion was still calm, and Ning Zhao went to Ning Lao Taijun on time every day to report, and he also pretended to be unaware.
Old Taijun Ning didn't believe it, looked at Ning Zhao suspiciously, squinted her eyes slightly, and asked, "Zhao'er, don't fool me, although I'm old, my brain is clear." ”
Ning Zhao was shocked and hurriedly said, "What is grandmother talking about?" How dare Zhao'er lie to her grandmother? ”
Looking at Ning Zhao's frightened appearance, Mrs. Ning suddenly softened her heart again, sighed, and said: "Grandmother knows what you are afraid of, but don't worry, there is a grandmother on the Chen family's side, you just have to rest assured and boldly check, I see what she dares to do!" ”
Hearing this, Ning Zhao raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. Ning, a thin layer of mist appeared in his eyes, and he called softly: "Grandmother." ”
Mrs. Ning was very distressed, raised her hand to touch the top of Ning Zhao's hair, patted her back again, and comforted: "Zhao'er has suffered hardship, there is a grandmother, you just have to do it, don't be afraid!" ”
Ning Zhao nodded, and the sound of the urn was angry.
It wasn't until Ning Zhao returned to his courtyard that the state of the whole person was readjusted.
"Miss, you are so amazing, those tears will come when you say you, and you will accept them when you say you." Qing Cicada hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Ning Zhao and said in admiration.
"Are you complimenting or hurting others?" Ning Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked at the green cicada, why did this sound so uncomfortable.
"Of course I'm complimenting Miss!"
Qing Cicada's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Miss's pitiful appearance, the old lady must be distressed to death, I am about to cry when I look at it." ”
"Poof......" Ning Zhao laughed directly, raised his hand and twisted the green cicada's cheek, and said with a smile: "Come on, let me take a good look, what kind of crying method is our little green cicada, cry quickly and show it to Miss." ”
"Ouch, it hurts!" The green cicada covered her face and hurriedly retreated to escape from Ning Zhao's magic grasp, this time her eyes were really red, and she looked pitiful, and Ning Zhao wanted to reach out again.
Just do it when you think about it, Ning Zhao is in a good mood, and I don't know when I start to think that it is fun to bully and bully the cicada occasionally.
The cicada was chased all over the yard, if she knew her young lady's heart at this moment, she didn't need Ning Zhao to do it herself, she would definitely cry to her.
The two of them went crazy for a while, and the sky completely darkened. Ning Zhao was tired of playing, sitting at the stone table drinking tea, and the green cicada sat pitifully opposite Ning Zhao, rubbing her little face, and asked, "When is the young lady going to tell the old lady?" ”
Ning Zhao held the teacup and paused, then smiled and said, "The time is ripe, I'll let them have a leisurely day." ”
So, in the afternoon of the second day, Ning Zhao hurried back from outside and went straight to Ning Lao Taijun, who was about to take a lunch break, and when he heard that Ning Zhao was back, he hurriedly let her into the house.
Ning Zhao's face was red, fine sweat was oozing from his forehead, and he walked in anxiously, with a pair of old lady Ning's eyes, Ning Zhao was nervous, and knelt down directly.
"What's going on?" Seeing this, Mrs. Ning frowned and said in a deep voice: "Get up and speak!" ”
