Volume 1: Born of Revenge Chapter 198: Mother and Child Separation
Ning Yucheng is the only male in the Zuo Xiang's mansion, although he is a concubine, he will inherit the family business in the future, so the old lady still takes care of this only grandson.
Ning Yucheng is twelve years old this year, but because he was admonished by the fifth aunt not to come out, he was extremely timid and shy, so he just lowered his head and cowardly thanked the old lady for the snacks.
Although he is a twelve-year-old boy, he is still a submissive little family, and he has no bearing of a son of a family, and the old lady is already frowning a little displeased when she sees it now.
"What books does Yucheng read on weekdays?" The old lady suddenly asked, "Did the fifth aunt invite Mr. for Yucheng?" ”
Ning Wanran didn't expect the old lady to speak suddenly, and seeing that Ning Yucheng was nervous and had already clenched the pastries in his hand, he had to bite the bullet and try to calm his breath and replied: "Back to my grandmother, my aunt has already asked Mr. to teach her homework for the sixth brother." ”
"Yucheng, what books do you read on weekdays? What did you teach you on a daily basis? The old lady didn't pay attention to Ning Wanran, but looked at Ning Yucheng, who buried her head lower, and asked.
Ning Yucheng and the old lady were not close to each other, but when they were happy, they would reward him with something, but now they want to pretend to be close to their children and grandchildren, the old lady can act, Ning Yucheng can't act, he has already blushed, and he doesn't dare to speak with his head down.
"Back to Grandmother's Words......"
Ning Wanran looked at the young brother's blushing face, and wanted to wait for him to answer, but was reprimanded by the old lady with a cold face: "Didn't the fifth aunt teach you the rules?" Now I'm asking Yucheng, why do you want to interject on the sidelines! ”
Ning Zhiyun saw that Ning Wanran's face was flushed because of the old lady's reprimand, and she lowered her head and wrung her handkerchief there with shame and embarrassment, wanting to relieve her but worried that this would be too eye-catching.
"Since the fifth aunt can't even teach the basic rules and etiquette, Yucheng will move out of the fifth aunt's place from today on." The old lady then instructed Mama Fu on the side and said, "Clean up the Wutong Garden behind Ci'an Ju, and carry the things of the sixth young master in tomorrow." ”
Mama Fu just responded to the old lady's words, and sent the little maid to go outside, Ning Yucheng, who had been lowering her head and not speaking, had already knelt on the ground with a "poof", kowtowed to the old lady above, and said: "Grandmother, I don't want to leave my mother and sister, grandmother, I want to live in Cuiwei Pavilion, I don't want to move to Wutong Garden." ”
"Yucheng is also twelve years old this year, and your father has read the four books thoroughly when he was twelve years old, but you can't even tell what books you are reading now." The old lady was already angry in her eyes, "It can be seen that the fifth aunt not only can't discipline you well, but has become a drag on you." ”
The fifth aunt was also a young lady from an official eunuch's family, but because she was a concubine and was not taken seriously, she was married to the prime minister's mansion as a concubine.
"Grandmother, Cheng'er doesn't want to be separated from her mother and sister, grandmother doesn't want to separate Cheng'er and her sister!" Ning Yucheng was still young after all, and when he heard that the old lady was going to separate him from Ning Wanran and the fifth aunt, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old lady above.
"At every turn, he kneels and cries his nose, how can he have a little bit of the bearing of a son." The old lady was so angry that she poked the wooden staff in her hand to the ground one by one.
That Xiang Ning Yucheng was already so anxious that he broke his head, and this Xiang Ning seemed to have tears in his eyes, but he didn't dare to cry out like Ning Yucheng, just blindly lowered his head and wiped his tears silently.
Although Ning Zhixuan knew that their sister and brother's situation would only anger the old lady even more, but she didn't have a chance to remind her, so she could only watch as her subordinates worked together to pull Ning Yucheng out, and Ning Wanran wanted to stop it, but she was also pressed to the ground by the grandmothers.
"Grandmother, please, the sixth brother is my aunt's life! Ask grandmother not to take the sixth brother away. Seeing Ning Yucheng being dragged out by a group of servants, Ning Wanran was a little afraid that the old lady would take Ning Yucheng away from her mother, so she fell on the ground and begged: "Ask grandmother!" ”
Ning Zhiwen knew that Ning Wanran was crying and begging like this again, which would inevitably annoy the old lady even more, in the eyes of the old lady, their grandchildren were not her blood-related relatives at all, they were just pawns to use, and what distinguishes them is just that they have use value and have no use value.
Looking at Ning Wanran, who was pressed to the ground and still did not forget to plead, Ning Zhiyun, who was sitting next to her, seemed to be overwhelmed, and was about to turn sideways a little when she accidentally dropped the silk handkerchief.
Because everyone's attention was on Ning Wanran, who was crying and begging the old lady, there was no one to pick up the handkerchief for Ning Zhiyun for a while, she had to pick it up herself, but when she just bent down, the peach blossom gemstone hairpin inserted in the bun accidentally fell to the ground, and with a crisp sound of the hairpin landing, everyone's eyes were focused on Ning Zhiyun again.
"Sister, this peach blossom hairpin is extraordinary at first glance, but now it is broken, it's really a pity." Ning Xinyu watched Ning Zhiyun fall to the ground and shatter into a few peach blossom hairpins and said regretfully.
Before Ning Zhiwen could say anything, Ning Banghua, who was sitting opposite Ning Zhiyun, already said with a little disdain and disgust: "If it is really a reward from the palace, the second sister will be in a big disaster this time." ”
"It's just that it was given to me by the ninth princess in the past, although it is precious, it is far less expensive than the snow smoke silk gold that the imperial concubine gave to the eldest sister." Ning Zhiyun's words were answered without leakage, it was "given" to her by the ninth princess in private, not on the surface, so even if it was broken now, no one should think about what crime should be detained on her head.
"Speaking of which, the imperial concubine really loves her big sister, and she specially gave Xue Yanya to her big sister." Ning Xinyu saw that Ning Banghua was scolded and had nothing to say, so she deliberately changed the topic and said with envy, "Xue Yanyan is such a precious material, we haven't even seen each other on weekdays, and now that the eldest sister has it, we can open our eyes." ”
"In the final analysis, it was your eldest sister who was able to get into the eyes of Prince Heng." When the old lady saw her eldest granddaughter so angry, she no longer paid attention to Ning Wanran, but looked at Ning Ning Xinyu with satisfaction and said, "In the future, when your eldest sister really enters the palace, it is good to say a few good words for your sisters in front of the imperial concubine, so that you can also have a good home." ”
Ning Zhiyu clearly saw that Ning Xinyu's eyes flashed with light after hearing the old lady's words, and she knew that she was just trying to climb the high branches through Ning Banghua, so that she would show favor to her in every way.
"A good home" Ning Zhiwen sneered in her heart, but she also knew that for the sake of the good destination in the old lady's mouth, she would not be embarrassed by Ning Wanran today.
Sure enough, after the old lady laughed with everyone for a while, she glanced at Ning Wanran, who was prostrate on the ground, and then instructed Mama Fu beside her: "Send someone to send the fifth lady back to her Cuiwei Pavilion, and then send someone to tell Qin Qin that it is my idea to find another residence for the sixth young master." ”
