As soon as Ning Yanting stepped into the house, his clever servant immediately told him that Ning's mother was making trouble in the second room.
"I heard that the second lady was crying so badly. Now the old lady has called the eldest lady to go." The servant said, "Master, go and have a look. It's been a while since the eldest lady went."
Ning Yanting panicked, and quickly walked towards the old lady's yard.
He knew that his wife had always been timid. She seemed to be someone who would steal her niece's jewelry. There must be some misunderstanding. His wife has always been afraid of the old lady, but now that something like this happens, don't be frightened.
Ning Yanting thought, and couldn't help but speed up on his feet. He hurried to Old Madam Ning's courtyard, and heard the shrill noise of a woman coming from inside. Ning Yanting didn't think much of it, and hurriedly stepped in and shouted, "Mother, be merciful!"
The house suddenly fell silent.
Ning Yanting hurriedly stood still, raised his eyes, and wanted to say something, but after seeing the scene in the room, he was stunned again, and even the dissuasion that was about to be blurted out was swallowed back in his stomach.
He blinked hard, staring at what was in front of him in disbelief.
What did he see?
Mother Ning grabbed the second lady's hair, her face was hideous. The old lady was obviously annoyed for a while, she clutched her chest and leaned on the main seat to call out, a few maids eagerly served by her side, while Ning Qing and Ning Lang panicked and went to help Ning Mu and Er lady. There was chaos in the room, and it was Ning Yanting's sudden appearance that finally stopped the chaos.
Mother Ning snorted heavily and let go of the hand that was holding the second lady's hair.
She straightened her clothes, turned to sit next to her, and looked dignified, as if she was not the same person who pulled her hair just now.
Ning Yanting was stunned for a while, before he said: "This... what happened?"
"Brother, you can also see that sister-in-law is so rude. First she went to Sister Qing's place to make a scene, and now she is like a shrew in the old lady's house. Look at how angry the old lady is. "The second lady stroked her hair, and regardless of her image, she supported Ning Qing and said bitterly, "Sister-in-law looks like Ning's mother-in-law, if outsiders know about it, our Ning family will become The laughing stock of outsiders. Big brother, you are good, you rushed in indiscriminately and asked the old lady to be merciful. The old lady just called someone over for questioning. "
Ning Yanting couldn't recover for a long time.
His wife is gentle and dignified. She usually doesn't dare to say a heavy word out loud. How can she be someone who can do it directly? But what he saw just now was not an illusion, he also saw this picture truly.
Ning Yanting only felt that his knowledge in the past ten years was suddenly turned upside down. He stared at his wife in a daze. Mother Ning sat there with a cold face, and the expression was not at all familiar to him. He staggered his gaze and met his son who was standing beside him. He also saw in Ning Lang's eyes that things were beyond reason.
"This...Is there any misunderstanding?" Ning Yanting looked at Mrs. Ning again, "Mother, you, you..." Are you okay
Old Madam Ning clutched her chest, obviously so angry that she didn't look like she was okay. Ning Yanting glanced at her embarrassedly, and swallowed the unspoken words.
He looked at Ning's mother again: "Yunlan, what's going on?"
"Father, father, let me tell you about this." Ning Lang hurriedly stood in front of Ning's mother: "When I came, mother and second lady were already arguing, but I listened, it was the second lady who scolds first. She said that A Nuan has a bad reputation outside because of A Nuan's own sake and has nothing to do with the two younger sisters. My mother was very angry when she heard that, so she went to start a fight with the second lady."
"A Nuan? Why is this related to A Nuan again?"
Ning Lang came from the middle, and he didn't know what happened ahead. Because of Ning Yanting's question, he could only confront him blankly.
Mother Ning pulled the stupid son aside and said in a cold tone, "You might as well ask your two nieces how they ruined A Nuan's reputation outside."
"Our sister Qing has always been well-behaved. Even when Buzhuang sent the cloth, she was thinking of her sisters and specially left the best for Sister Nuan. Whenever there is any good thing, she is also thinking of giving a copy to Sister Nuan. "The second lady brushed away Ning Qing and glared at Mother Ning: "If you have no evidence, you will be wronged when you open your mouth. If even Sister Qing's reputation is affected, what will you pay for it?"
"How dare she not admit to what she did herself?"
"It's not that this person has no brains. What does Sister Qing say? I think Sister Nuan doesn't like to get along with sisters on weekdays. She is used to pretending to be good in front of you. Who knows who she is in private!"
Mother Ning's eyes widened again, and as soon as she clapped the table and stood up, she was about to argue with her again. The second lady did not show weakness, and was about to rise to the challenge.
"Okay!" The old lady scolded heavily: "Look at the two of you, what you look like, people will laugh when they see it!"
Ning Yanting finally found an opportunity to interject: "Mother, look this is..."
The old lady took a deep breath, spit it out heavily, and said, "Just as I said just now, return Sister Qing's jewelry, and Sister Qing will go and apologize to Sister Nuan, and this will be the case. When it didn't happen, it just passed."
"Then my A Nuan's grievance will be in vain?" Mother Ning exclaimed: "A light apology is over, can A Nuan's reputation be restored?"
The old lady said sharply, "You are so noisy, what kind of reputation does she have!"
"If I make trouble again, it's also mine. What does it have to do with A Nuan? Others only know that A Nuan has a very unreasonable mother, but she is a good one. Ning Qing said that outside, A Nuan said. What kind of good family can I find in the future? Madam, I know you like Ning Qing, but A Nuan is also your granddaughter, A Nuan is wronged, do you just look at it like that?"
The old lady closed her eyes, opened them again, and looked at Ning Yanting.
Ning Yanting has always been filial to his mother and obeyed the old lady's words. When the old lady saw this, she took a step forward faster than she could rationally, and held Ning's mother.
"Speak less." He whispered, "Be careful to be angry with your mother."
Mother Ning looked back at him in disbelief, but she snorted coldly and shook off his hand. Ning Yanting grabbed her again: "What's the matter, let's go back and talk about it."
"you… "
Mother Ning wanted to say, what can you say
Do you want to get justice for A Nuan, or do you dare to say no to the old lady
She looked at everyone in the room, saw that the second lady was in a state of embarrassment, and then saw Ning Qing's face full of panic, and even the old lady was holding back her anger, and her mood finally improved. Concerned about giving face to her husband, she did not continue to have attacks.
Ning's mother tidied up her sleeves slowly, and then said: "I don't agree with what the old lady said, and Ning Qing's apology is not uncommon for us, A Nuan. It's just that I'll leave it here, if you let me listen to it again in the future. If it's not about Ah Nuan, I won't let it go. Our Ah Nuan has lost his reputation, and as a mother, I won't let her be bullied in the back house. "
The second lady still wanted to say something, Mother Ning sneered, changed the topic, and said: "Although my Jiang family is not as good as before, my father still left a lot of old ministries. If Ah Nuan is wronged, her uncles will Uncle will also seek justice for her."
The second lady's eyes widened, like a duck being strangled, she stretched her neck, but she couldn't say a word.
Poor Ning Yanting looked left and right, still confused, neither understanding what happened nor why his wife suddenly changed her personality.
Mother Ning called Ning Lang arrogantly, brought her maids, and went out.
"Hey..." Ning Yanting called her back dryly, and then looked back at her bewilderedly: "Mother?"
With a gloomy face, the old lady glanced at the second lady and Ning Qing: "You guys go back first."
The second lady also took Ning Qing away.
In the blink of an eye, only Ning Yanting was left in the room.
"Mother." He finally found a chance to get close to Mrs. Ning: "What happened? I heard someone say that Yunlan went to Ning Qing's house and snatched all her jewelry?"
The old lady's eyes moved slightly, but before answering, she sighed faintly, which instantly lifted Ning Yanting's heart.
…
Ning Lang followed Mother Ning all the way back to the courtyard of the big house, still looking dazed.
As soon as he stepped in the door, he finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and hurriedly asked: "Mother, what's going on? Did you take all Qing'er's jewelry away?"
"Huan Qing'er, she screamed so affectionately that those who didn't know thought she was your sister." Mother Ning stared at him angrily.
Ning Lang scratched his head: "Of course Ah Nuan is my sister, but isn't Qing'er too? How can a girl's family have no jewelry, mother, you haven't said it yet, why are you robbing her jewelry?"
Mother Ning took a deep breath, barely suppressed her anger, and said, "I didn't take it all, I just took back what I gave her before. If she lacks jewelry, ask her parents to buy it. And you, you are not allowed to get too close to the big room and the second room in the future, as far away as you are."
Otherwise, I still don't know what it will be like to be pitted!
Ning Lang still asked stupidly, "Why? Mother?"
"What I said, just listen to it." Ning's mother stared, and suddenly remembered something: "Why are you at home today?"
Ning Lang suddenly remembered and stretched out his hand towards her again: "Mother, my monthly flowers are over, you can give me more silver flowers."
"..."
Mother Ning turned back and asked the maid, "What day is today?"
The maid replied, "Mrs Hui, today is the sixth day of the first year."
Ning's mother turned her head again: "It's only the sixth day of the sixth day, and you've already spent your monthly bills?"
"Yes, yes?" Ning Lang was at a loss.
Before it was changed, as soon as my mother heard that he was short of money to spend, she immediately took out the money and gave it to him. Why is it so fierce today
"Did you skip school again?"
"Yes, yes." Ning Lang changed the subject with a guilty conscience: "Don't talk about this, mother, I also liked a hairpin, and I want to buy it for A Nuan, you can give me some more money, and I will buy it today. ."
What answered him was a sharp pain in his ears.
"Mother! It hurts! It hurts!!"
Mother Ning unceremoniously twisted her son's ears and said angrily: "What kind of money do you want, look at you, you are not ignorant all day long, and you are not good at learning, but the next person is very proficient, thinking about it all day long. Go out to play with your friends, look at A Nuan, why is A Nuan different from you? From tomorrow onwards, you should go to school well, if you miss a day of work, your share for the next month will be confiscated directly , I'll take it to buy jewelry for Ah Nuan."
"What!?" Ning Lang was dumbfounded: "Mother, isn't this bad?"
"I'm doing this for your own good. You remember it for me. I won't show mercy to you in the future. As for the money, I won't give you any more money except for the monthly case."
Mother Ning thought to herself: Silly son, I am doing this for your own good too.
In her last life, she had always indulged Ning Lang, almost always responding to her requests, which made Ning Lang fall into the situation she was in later. It's okay now, Ning Lang hasn't learned bad lessons from his group of friends, let him change it as soon as possible, and correct his stinky flaws. After reading and studying well, he will get a name after the exam, which will save Ah Nuan from worrying about him. .
Obviously he is the elder brother, so he should support A Nuan's younger sister, but in the end, he was the one who made A Nuan run around for him. What's the point
