Ning Yue was dumbfounded.
Saved, but not completely saved.
"Hey... no need..."
Ying Xianqing said at this time: "I won't go. I'm here to take care of my grandmother. You can go on your own."
He couldn't see the resistance in her eyes, not to mention that the Ying family had collapsed, and he was not in the mood to love his children at the moment.
This buddy, come on.
Ning Yue responded unceremoniously: "Okay."
Seeing that Ying Xianqing had no intention of opening another room, Mrs. Li hurriedly went over to take Ning Yue's hand affectionately.
"Hey, your little daughter is sleeping alone. She's so scared of people in the wilderness. Let's go sleep with you."
Ning Yue moved to the side, and Mrs. Li stepped aside.
The old lady said: "Ms. Li, my legs are very sore. Come and give me a leg massage."
Mrs. Li didn't move. Usually when she was in the house, Ying Xun was always obedient to the old lady, and she followed suit. She rarely went to greet her, let alone beat her legs.
She suddenly pointed behind Ning Yue and said, "Oh, what was that thing that flashed past on the roof of the inn just now? It seemed like a shadow in white clothes floating past!"
Her words did not frighten Ning Yue. Instead, they made the two bamboos tremble. The little fat man screamed and jumped on Ms. Li.
Ning Yue raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Li and extinguished her hope: "Madam, there's no need to scare me. I'm not used to being in the same room with others. Don't worry, I won't be scared."
Li's face was ashamed and annoyed, and she gave Ning Yue a hard look.
Ning Yue didn't care about this and followed Li Desheng.
"Ms. Li, do you want everyone to know that our Ying family's daughter-in-law is unfilial?" the old lady said majestically.
Behind closed doors, as long as the old lady didn't say anything, no one else could care about the unfilial affairs of their children and grandchildren. But now that there were so many people around, Mrs. Li looked around and looked at them, and reluctantly helped the old lady to go under the tree. Sit and beat her legs.
The little fat man sat on the ground with a groan and cried: "I don't want to sleep under the tree, I want to sleep in a room!"
Ying Sizhu also pulled Mrs. Li to prevent her from leaving: "Mom, I'm afraid..."
Ying Xianqing pulled Xiaopang up to stand, and pushed Sizhu Lingzhu over, "Isn't that filial? You guys should go and rub Grandma's shoulders too."
Li Desheng led Ning Yue to an upper room on the second floor and said enthusiastically: "The waiter will bring hot water and food in a while. The conditions here are limited. Please be patient. If you need anything, just come to me. I'm upstairs." Stay on duty at Xia Tongpu."
Ning Yue said hurriedly: "Don't say that. I'm very grateful that you can provide me with these conveniences. I only have one request. Can you not call me Mrs. Ying? She sounds like an old woman."
Pretending to be young is every woman's lifelong mission, not to mention that she is already young.
Li Desheng grinned, "Then what should I call you?"
"You are about the same age as my father. My family all call me Yue'er. If you don't mind, you can call me Yue'er?"
"I can't do it! I heard during the handover that you are the legitimate daughter of the general of the country. I didn't have to go into exile this time. How can I call you like your family! I can't even stand up to it. .”
Seeing the waiter bringing a bucket of hot water and a bowl of noodles, she quickly stepped aside and gave way. Then he turned back and said seriously: "There is no general's legitimate daughter here. I am now an exiled prisoner under your command."
Seeing her insistence, Li Desheng smiled and said, "That's up to you. You should go to bed early." It was not convenient to stay any longer, so he went downstairs with a golden sword.
Looking at the bland bowl of plain noodles, Ning Yue didn't want to eat it at all.
In fact, after being hungry for so long, I am already so hungry that I don’t even feel it anymore.
The wedding banquet hasn't even come yet today, and everyone in the Ying family probably hasn't had dinner, and that's it for everyone else. Thinking of the old lady who just insisted on opening a room for herself, Ning Yue always wanted to give something back.
In order to avoid exposure, there is no way to take out so much food in the space.
Ning Yue planned to give her the noodles.
She walked to the tree with her face held high. It was a century-old tree, and at least three people had to hug it. Some people were sleeping against the tree and their clothes, and there were also people lying under the tree.
Ning Yue finally found the old lady. She was surrounded by Ying Xianqing and the wet nurse. Everyone else had fallen asleep at this moment, but she was the only one staring blankly at a tree next to her.
As I got closer, I realized she was crying silently.
The old lady had worked hard for the Hou Mansion all her life, and when she got old, not only was she resented by the bastard who took power, but other descendants except Xianqing also ignored her.
Originally, she wanted to pretend to be deaf and mute until death, but unexpectedly something happened to the Hou Mansion.
Along the way, when I think of all the things I have experienced in the past and what I have encountered today, I just feel that life is hopeless and the sky is about to fall.
This time she fainted, and only Xian'er carried her, while the others completely ignored her. It turned out that although it was disrespectful, everyone still had some superficial skills. Now that they are in exile, even the superficial dignity is gone.
She felt guilty about Xian'er. His father treated him like this, and there was nothing she could do about it.
But she only gave him the dignity that a legitimate son should have, and not much more. Unexpectedly, this was a little bit good, and he kept it in mind.
She noticed a branch leaning out of the trunk of the tree next to her. It was not high enough for her to reach. It was as thick as an adult's arm, and she thought it could bear her weight.
Just wait until everyone is asleep and then hang up the belt...
She was an old woman, and she had Xian'er carry her on her back for several hours on the first day. She didn't know what she would encounter on the road in the future. Instead of becoming a burden to Xian'er, it would be better to just go and apologize to the ancestors of the Ying family earlier. , which can also make Xian'er feel more relaxed in the future.
She heard footsteps and looked over slowly.
She is the bride that Xian'er married today.
Ning Yue held the bowl and stretched it forward: "Old madam, the waiter brought me a bowl of noodles. I'm not hungry yet. Do you want to eat some?"
The old lady couldn't break free from the huge despair for a while, she just stared at her blankly without any reaction.
The little fat man immediately sat up and pursed his lips at Mrs. Li: "Mom, I'm hungry."
Li hugged him and comforted him softly: "Qi'er, be good. There will be something to eat tomorrow morning."
Ying Sizhu looked over bitterly, then rolled his eyes and turned his back to Ning Yue.
Ning Yue acted as if they didn't exist and still looked at the old lady.
The old lady hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeves and said softly, "The newlyweds have not eaten well all day, how can they not be hungry? My dear child, please eat by yourself. I am old and I get hungry slowly."
The little fat man shouted louder: "Mom, I'm very hungry now!"
Mrs. Li impatiently let go of him and lay down. She didn't want to get into trouble again. Anyway, as long as the front is in the hands of the mother-in-law, the son can always get some.
Ning Yue still didn't even pay them any attention from the corner of her eye. She passed the bowl forward and said with a smile: "I knew I couldn't eat for a day, so I hid the cake in my sleeve in the morning. I wasn't hungry anymore after eating it. You can eat this. Times will get better and better, so don’t be too sad."
The old lady is very happy. Xian'er is really the right daughter-in-law. She is kind, courteous, filial, and not weak. She hopes that the couple will be harmonious in the future.
She should live a little longer, leaving Xian'er alone in the world. She was not at ease. Looking at such a sunny child, the grandson she gave birth to would definitely be loved.
She had never tasted sweetness in her life. Looking at the happy days when the old sisters played with their grandchildren and had a harmonious family, she couldn't help but envy them.
She smiled and pushed Ying Xianqing beside her: "Xian'er, thank your wife for me."
