Chapter 4: Summer is sweltering

Zheng Mansion.

The summer day was a bit muggy, the windows were tightly closed, blocking the boiling heat and the light, and the room was dark and a little dreary.

Yang handed a cup of warm tea to Zheng Anyan's hand.

"Master, there are some things I shouldn't have said." Yang's voice was low and soft, like a yellow warbler, making people's bones soft, "After all, the concubine is not Jing Ning's mother-in-law, so she has a lot of control...... Yesterday, Jing Ning was a little annoyed with the concubine. It's just that Jing Ning annoys the concubine, but the concubine treats her as her own child......"

Zheng Anyan held Yang's hand: "Yinhuan, Jing Ning is young and ignorant, don't take it to heart, wait a few years, she will know that your heart is towards her." If you have anything to say, just say it, between husband and wife, why bother? ”

Yang's teeth bit her lip tightly, biting her lip so red that Zheng Anyan stared at her.

"Jing Ning asked someone to send a letter to the three princes, and asked the three princes to meet, but they went out early this morning and haven't come back yet. The concubine thought that what Jing Ning said that day and the well-behaved in the past few days turned out to be a piece of filial piety to the master, so as not to make the master angry. ”

Yang's words seemed to be helping Jing Ning, but he was actually provoking.

Sure enough, Zheng Anyan's face immediately changed, and the cup in his hand fell to the ground hard.

"Where is her filial piety to me?! This is clearly deception! I didn't expect it, I didn't expect this daughter to learn to deceive! How could she ever take me as a father in her eyes? It's like a monkey! ”

Zheng Anyan got up and walked around the room frantically, his face flushed, like a raging beast, and he had lost all the temperament of a literati.

Zheng Anyan was obviously mad.

He originally thought that Jing Ning had repented and was filial to him, and he was quite relieved, feeling that he hadn't hurt her in vain all these years, but now this was a blow to the head, which made Zheng Anyan dizzy.

This daughter disappointed him so much!

Yang rejoiced.

She felt that Zheng Jingning was a little different, no longer as stupid as before, and it hurt her, and she came over with a smile. But so what? In her eyes, Zheng Jingning's methods are as insignificant as a child's play.

The Yang family was happy, but he didn't show anything on his face, but his face was full of sadness: "Master, maybe we want to go wrong, Jing Ning went to see Zhao Ying, maybe there was something important, not because of the personal feelings of the children?" ”

"Yinhuan, you don't have to speak for that evil girl. What can she do with Zhao Ying? A girl is so unreserved, it's a shame for the Zheng girl! When she comes back, you must punish her well! ”

……

The summer sun scorches the earth and sheates it.

At this time, it is best to be at home, blowing the wind, and eating chilled fruits.

Bihua thought so, so she couldn't figure out why the young lady braved the scorching sun to look at the lotus flowers by the lotus pond.

The young lady was drenched in sweat, but it attracted a lot of attention.

Bihua looked at her young lady's delicate little face, which was already slightly reddened, and couldn't help but say, "Miss, I've already met Miss Xiao Er, why don't you go home?" ”

Jing Ning stood still under the willow tree, and under the shade of the tree, the cool breeze blew, which was particularly comfortable.

Her eyes were like a clear spring, the water was shining, but it was bottomless.

There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but there was no smile in her eyes, but there was a hint of gloom.

"Of course, I want to give the Yang family time to sue."

"Miss, you ......"

Bihua has been by Jing Ning's side for so many years, naturally she is not a stupid person, it is precisely because she is too smart that she is regarded as a thorn in the side of the Yang family and Zheng Xiuning, and she died tragically under their promotion.

Don't......

A trace of joy appeared in Bihua's heart, surging towards her throat.

"Do you know that Yang is not a good person?"

Bihua saw it thoroughly, in fact, she already knew that the Yang family intended to target Miss, but Miss was in it, and coupled with the high number of Yang Clans, Miss never saw through it. Bihua mentioned it a few times, and every time she was reprimanded by the young lady.

Bihua was angry, but she had no choice but to endure it.

As a result, now, the young lady has actually seen through the true face of the Yang family?!

Bihua was surprised and delighted.

"I was so stupid before, and I won't be anymore."

Bi Hua's eyes widened sharply as she thought about Miss's actions in the past two days.

"Miss, did you deliberately say in front of Qingyue that you were going to see the Third Prince?!"

Jing Ning nodded.

"The Yang family will definitely take the opportunity to sue, and then you will let Miss Xiao Er testify, slap the Yang family in the face, and let the master see her true face?!"

Bihua was faintly excited in her heart.

The young lady not only saw through the true face of the Yang family, but also prepared to fight back!

There was a faint sneer on the corner of Jing Ning's mouth: "Of course it's not that simple, Bihua, you just wait to watch a good show." ”

This time, she wants to make her father completely disappointed in Yang!

Jing Ning saw that the time was almost up, so he took Bihua back to his house.

Zheng's Mansion is a scholarly family, and the mansion also exudes a scholarly elegance.

The lacquer on the red door is dull and dull, without luxury and adding to the simplicity.

As soon as Jing Ning stepped into the gate of the Zheng Mansion, he saw the grandmother waiting beside the Yang family.

The grandmother kept looking at the door, and then followed Jing Ning's figure, as if she was waiting for her on a special trip.

The grandmother's expression was exposed, and there was a hint of pride in her eyes.

As for what to be proud of-

Jing Ning's brows were lowered, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"Miss, the master said that if you come back, you will go to his yard." The old woman's voice was hoarse and a little harsh.

Jing Ning nodded and walked towards his father's yard.

The old lady stared at her back, and couldn't help but show a weird smile, this young lady didn't know that she was about to come into disaster.

The door of his father's bedroom was tightly closed, and Jing Ning walked over and knocked on the door.

The door soon opened, and Yang opened it with a hint of worry in his eyes.

She seemed to want to say something, opened her mouth, and said, "Admit your mistakes to the master." ”

A mocking smile flashed in Jing Ning's lowered eyes.

Bang!

Zheng Anyan smashed a teacup in his hand directly, and it just hit Jing Ning's head.

Jing Ning felt a sharp pain on his forehead, dizzy, and his body subconsciously took two steps back.

After a while, the pain passed, and there was blood on Jing Ning's forehead, and her skin was fair, which was even more shocking.

Jing Ning's hand touched his forehead, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes: "Dad, you ......"

"Get on your knees!" Zheng Anyan shouted.

Jing Ning knelt down, but his little face was raised high, and there was a trace of grievance between his eyebrows.

"Dad, what did Jing Ning do wrong? You didn't hit Jing Ning, and you still let Jing Ning kneel? ”

Yang said bitterly: "Jing Ning, you can admit your mistake to the master." The lord also cares about you, you are a filial child, so don't make the lord angry. ”

Jing Ning was even more aggrieved: "But I don't know what's wrong." ”

"Zheng Jingning, you still dare to quibble!" Zheng Anyan's face was very ugly, and his eyes were full of disappointment, "You went to see the Third Highness today!" What you did before, were you lying to your father?! ”

Jing Ning's face changed, as if he was a little flustered, and said eagerly: "Dad, I didn't, I didn't go to see the Third Highness!" Who said something in your ear? It must be nonsense, Dad, don't believe the messy people, I am your daughter, you have to believe your daughter! ”

"Is your aunt a mess?" Zheng Anyan was so angry that he slapped the table.

"Auntie......" Jing Ning looked at Yang suddenly, "Auntie, why are you harming me?" I really didn't go to see the Third Prince! ”

"Jing Ning, what do you mean by 'harm'? How could my aunt hurt you? Auntie is worried about you! Yang's face quickly turned pale, and he stood against the table, shaky.

"Enough! Jing Ning, you go to the ancestral hall for me to kneel! Come back to me when you know it's wrong! Zheng Anyan said sharply.

Zheng Anyan was so angry that he didn't eat any more after two bites of dinner.

A delicate little girl, kneeling in the gloomy ancestral hall, her legs numb, she had never suffered such grievances, she should be full of grievances and sadness at this time.

Thinking of this, Yang couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed.

The only fly in the ointment is that Zheng Jingning has a grudge against himself and has some influence on his empathetic stepmother image......

Zheng Anyan has been sitting in the study, no matter how Yang persuades him, he is like a cold and hard stone, with a stinky face.

Jing Ning knelt in the ancestral hall all night, her knees were swollen and painful, and her whole body was stiff, but she still gritted her teeth and knelt there.

Zheng Anyan also stayed awake all night, looking at the white belly of the fish in the east.

"That girl...... She still doesn't admit her mistake? Zheng Anyan muttered in a low voice.

By noon, Zheng Anyan couldn't help it.

Jing Ning knelt for a day and a night, still wearing yesterday's clothes, her delicate little face was white, hungry and cold, and she had reached the limit......

This is what Zheng Anyan saw when he came.

Jing Ning's delicate body fell directly.

Zheng Anyan couldn't care about being angry anymore, and hurriedly rushed over and hugged his daughter tightly into his arms.

"Jing Ning!"

This was the last voice Jing Ning heard before he fell unconscious, with eagerness and worry.

……

The girl's boudoir was filled with the scent of medicine.

Jing Ning opened his eyes and saw a blurry shadow, which became clearer and clearer.

The middle-aged man had a scruffy beard and slightly red eyes, as if he hadn't slept for a long time.

"Dad, Jing Ning...... Jing Ning didn't see Zhao Ying, and my father believed me. Jing Ning said, his voice was very dry.

Zheng Anyan leaned closer to hear her words clearly.

Zheng Anyan's mind moved slightly, could it be that Jing Ning really didn't go to see Zhao Ying? But Yang has always been steady, and he shouldn't be mistaken.

Zheng Anyan thought about this, and felt a burst of fire and wanted to get angry.

At this very moment-

"Master, Miss Xiao Er has come to see Miss." Someone outside whispered.

Jing Ning's body was soft, but his mind was unprecedentedly clear.

Here it comes.
