The second lady suddenly took a breath, and her chest heaved violently several times before she finally recovered.
She looked at Mother Ning in shock: "Jiang Yunlan, you..."
"What happened to me? The second brother and sister said that the house is empty. Everyone in the room heard it. Could it be true?" Mother Ning said coldly, "If it's false, then the second brother and sister might as well come back with me. Tell me why you only gave our master a piece of inferior ginseng."
The second lady opened her eyes wide and was speechless for a moment.
She is usually eloquent, and is most liked by the old lady. She can say flowers with one mouth, but now that she has met Ning's mother, she has been frustrated again and again. Mother Ning's tongue is not as good as her, but she can directly grasp the point every time. Usually when the second lady talks to other people, those people's attention will soon be diverted by her, but mother Ning is different, and she recognizes one thing , No matter how much the second lady has to talk, she will not be shaken.
Seeing that the second lady was unable to speak, Ning mother patted Ren Shen on the table again, put her hands around her chest, and raised her chin to look at her: "What? Why don't the second siblings speak?"
The second lady's face turned pale.
She spat in her heart, then forced a smile, and pretended to be calm: "What did my sister-in-law say? Listening to what my sister-in-law said, could it be that I did it on purpose?"
Mother Ning refused to be polite to her, and immediately responded: "Exactly."
The second lady choked and said, "The sister-in-law really has wronged me, the elder brother is the backbone of our Ning family, and I naturally think about the good of the elder brother. Now that the elder brother has suffered such a serious injury, not only is the elder sister worried, but Ning is also worried. Everyone in the family is thinking about it.”
"If that's the case, why did you give our master this ginseng?"
"This... our Ning family... "
Mother Ning interrupted her: "I don't believe you say that the Ning family's warehouse is in short supply, but if the second sibling really wants to insist on this, why don't we go to the old lady and talk about it, the second sibling can't handle the family's accounts, I Go and call my store's accountant, let's check it together?"
The second lady's face was flushed red, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be.
She always has many ideas on weekdays, but this time Ning's mother was so aggressive, she couldn't think of a solution in her mind.
It was Ning Qing who took a step forward and stood in front of the second lady, and said, "Auntie, how could my mother be like this? Maybe it's the maid who got it wrong."
Mother Ning sneered and her eyes fell on her.
Ning Qing's hands were wet with sweat, knowing that her words were full of flaws. It's just that the second lady has already said it to the death, and she really can't think of any other way to deal with it. Ning Qing secretly hated in her heart again why Ning's mother had become so inhumane recently. She was clearly a relative living under the same roof, and she didn't even show any face. Could it be that she had to force her mother into a situation?
Mother Ning stared at her for a long time before she looked away.
"Since this is the case, the second brother and sister must be more careful in the future, but fortunately they met me this time. If the next time the maid takes the wrong thing and delivers it to the old lady, even if the second brother and sister has a hundred mouths, she will say Not clear."
The second lady looked at her hatefully, and before her eyes turned around, she hurriedly lowered her eyelids and responded quickly. It was a rare show of weakness.
She was afraid that Mother Ning would not give up and continue to entangle, and if she really wanted to make trouble in front of the old lady, no one would get better. Although the old lady was partial, if she knew that she deliberately chose the most inferior ginseng for Ning Yanting, the old lady would also be unhappy. Without him, the entire Ning family was still waiting for Ning Yanting to continue to take advantage of them after he was healed.
This is so good, and he is facing up and down together with peace, how can he suddenly offend people and be beaten like this
On weekdays, most of the food in the big room is provided by the big room, but now Jiang Yunlan has found an opportunity, and I don't know how many things will be taken away from her by this excuse. Thinking of this, the second lady's heart hurts, but she has no choice but to grit her teeth and ask the maid to go to the storeroom to get the best ginseng.
This time, Ning's mother also followed specially, just in case the maid misunderstood.
After watching everyone leave, the second lady finally caught her breath. She took a step back, plopped down on the stool, her chest heaved violently, and she poured several glasses of water before she finally gave her anger. pressed back.
The second lady clenched the cup tightly, gritted her teeth and said, "I hate that Jiang Yunlan..."
"Mother, don't be angry." Ning Qing comforted her from the side: "Now the uncle is in a coma, so the aunt found the opportunity to bully us. When the uncle wakes up, we will be able to get it back. Mother, you forgot, I The dowry has to be paid by the uncle."
The second lady finally remembered this.
She thought for a while, then narrowed her eyes and said, "Wait when I go to the old lady and tell me, you are going to marry the Zhou family, which will be of great benefit to our Ning family. The more dowries you have, the better the Zhou family will be. Look down on us, and the old lady will definitely agree."
As for who is this dowry
Of course they didn't come out.
Ning Qing also said: "Uncle has always been reasonable, so she doesn't look like an aunt. When the uncle wakes up, you can ask Dad to talk to him, and the uncle will definitely reprimand the aunt. Mother, I'll give it to you. Out of breath?"
The second lady was overjoyed when she heard the words, looked at her admiringly and said, "Qing'er is still smart."
How did they know that since Mother Ning's temperament changed drastically, Ning Yanting didn't even dare to say a single heavy word in front of Mother Ning, let alone reprimanding Mother Ning, he was worried all day, for fear of being reprimanded by Mother Ning.
The second lady patted Ning Qing's hand and said, "I really feel sorry for you."
"Mother, I'm not wronged." Ning Qing said obediently, "When the uncle wakes up, he still doesn't know who is wronged."
The two looked at each other with a smile on their lips.
…
Ning's mother went to the warehouse to pick the best ginseng. When she returned to the yard, Ning Nuan had already finished feeding Ning Yanting the ginseng soup.
Mother Ning handed the ginseng to the maid and said, "Put it away."
Ning Nuan was curious: "Mother, isn't that for Dad?"
"For your father? Didn't I already give him a piece of ginseng?" Mother Ning waved her hand in disgust: "He's already old, he eats so many tonics, and his qi and blood are strong, and then he will have to find a doctor again. , Besides, what I used for him was also a good thing, and I didn't treat him badly."
Ning Nuan thought about it, too.
She added, "Father's condition is much better. When I was feeding the ginseng soup, my father's fingers moved, and he must be waking up soon."
When Mother Ning heard the words, she suddenly exclaimed, and hurriedly came to her, held up her pair of jade-like slender hands, and said distressedly: "You just let the maid come, why do you want to do it yourself? Your father is still in a daze. Come on, no matter how much you do in front of him, you can't wait for him to wake up and say a few sweet words, what if the ginseng soup burns your hand?"
Ning Nuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mother, this is nothing."
"Calculate, of course, you are the daughter's family, you can protect this hand well, if you have anything, let the maid do it." Ning mother took her into the house and said loudly: "Xiang Tao, Fragrant peach, quickly bring the hand grease I got last time."
The delicately packaged hand grease from the largest grease shop in the capital was quickly placed in front of Ning Nuan.
Mother Ning grabbed her hand and wiped her hands carefully with translucent hand grease.
"Mother." Ning Nuan said helplessly, "My hand is not worth your care. It's just that I'm holding a bowl. It's neither scalded nor knocked. You're too surprised."
"Why isn't it worth it?" Mother Ning closed the lid of the hand grease, put the peach back, and then pulled her into a sincere command: "A Nuan, you have to be nice to yourself, don't feel wronged for others, you Dad is confused, your brother is also confused, and sometimes even mother is confused, if we are wronged because of us, even we don’t feel sorry for you, you don’t feel sorry for yourself, who else will feel sorry for you?”
Ning Nuan was taken aback for a moment.
She couldn't understand why she was just serving Daddy a ginseng soup, and she could let Mother Ning get involved.
Ning Nuan nodded in understanding, but did not refute her words.
"By the way, mother, did you go to the second room just now?"
"Yeah, didn't this just come back with personal ginseng?"
Ning Nuan hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "So that's it?"
"Forget it? Of course not." Mother Ning said: "Your father must have something to do with the second room and the third room, but now we don't know what happened. After waking up, explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly, I will naturally not let them go. If there is trouble now, the old lady will definitely protect their side, isn't this looking for grievances for myself? "
Mother Ning picked up the tea cup, took a sip calmly, and said, "Ah Nuan, just wait, mother won't peel them off this time, it won't be the case."
Whether it was because of the grievances she had suffered before or because of Ning Yanting's serious injury this time, Ning's mother was very angry.
Although she couldn't look at Ning Yanting's stupidity and let the second room and the third room pit, she only broke Ning Yanting's economy and didn't even fight. Danger to life.
In Mother Ning's memory, nothing like this happened in her last life.
There was a sudden difference between reality and his memory, which made Mother Ning panic.
And the other side.
The smell of medicine permeated the room, the servants waited outside the door, and there was only one servant in the room standing by the bed, drowsy.
The middle-aged man on the bed moved his fingers and suddenly opened his eyes. When the shock and fear in his eyes faded away, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar bed curtain in front of him, Ning Yanting's eyes were only blank.
this... here is...
He propped up and sat up, only to find himself in a familiar bedroom.
He looked around, although there were fewer decorations than the bedroom he remembered, and it was somewhat empty, but it was indeed his bedroom.
But how could he be here
He is not…
The boy sitting beside the bed heard the movement, raised his head and glanced at it, and suddenly stood up in surprise.
"Master, you are awake!"
After he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and ran out.
"Madame! Miss! The lord is awake!"
