The group of people walked with heavy steps to the courtyard in the west of the city. As the big housekeeper said, the courtyard was very clean. Although it was not big, it was a three-entry courtyard, and it was definitely not small.
After listening to the housekeeper's introduction and showing the courtyards to each room, the old lady returned to her own courtyard. Her body could no longer hold on and she collapsed on the bed. Her heart was also in torment. She didn't know what happened to her son's life, and the descendants of the Ning family. What should I do if I can't join the officialdom and my future will only be gloomy and hopeless?
Her son's words came to her mind involuntarily, and she wondered if his hint had something to do with this disaster.
Chun Xing could no longer hold back in Ning Jiayin's room. She was impatient and not as steady as Qingdai.
"Miss, Sister-in-law Liu and Mrs. Wang are really going too far!" Chun Xing said angrily as she put down her luggage.
"It's nothing, it's only human nature." Ning Jiayin said calmly. After going through so many things today, she really didn't have any strength.
"But the Ning family is usually so kind to us and never treats them harshly. To be so ungrateful is really unworthy of us!"
"Okay, let's take a rest. You two don't have to tidy up today. Just settle down for one night and then tidy up tomorrow. We have to make dinner later."
I wanted to say that I was pulled by Qingdai, but the young lady also heard those words. No matter what the specific situation, the young lady would definitely be able to intervene. It was not the turn of a maid like herself to comment.
Although their voices were low, they still heard what was meant to be heard.
Ning Jiayin was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, but her thoughts couldn't stop. She felt that today's events were a bit strange. This crisis looked dangerous. The emperor was so angry with his father that he did not allow the descendants of the Ning family to enter the officialdom. The only ones who were punished were his father and the two of them. An uncle, the female family members are also safe and sound, shouldn't the nine clans be implicated? Oh, I can’t figure it out.
I also thought about the gossip I heard along the way. It was the first time for such a big family to encounter such a big change. One or two voices were normal and not surprising. It was considered good that there was no robbery, but there was an element of instability. If someone is taking advantage of him, it will be difficult to predict what will happen in the future. In later novels and TV series, there are often stories of a servant destroying a big family.
The grandmother and aunt should also know about this matter. They will naturally handle this small matter, but how will this family live in the future? She turned over and wondered if she, a little concubine, had too much to worry about. If life went well, she would be content to be a lazy idler, and she had no ambition to do anything earth-shattering in ancient times. In ancient times, men were superior to women, and she still understood the principle of doing as the Romans did when they were in the countryside. Thinking of the old man's doting on her and the old lady's protection of her when he was still alive, as well as a few small Confucian admirations for her, she would always fight for it in the future, but it was a pity that she was not the one. It is always much more difficult to move forward as a legitimate daughter or a concubine.
No matter how difficult it is, you have to stand up! It just depends on the timing.
After all, she didn't sleep much, so she got up and went to see her aunt. Maybe because she often ran around and had a lot of experience, she was calmer than Ning Jiayin imagined.
She held Ning Jiayin's hand: "Since your father's life is not in danger, who can say for sure what will happen in the future based on his ability? I don't have to worry about your brother. He has what you taught him." This skill will definitely come in handy in the military."
"It's just that your second and third uncles are implicated. Your third aunt comes from a big family. She knows that everyone will be prosperous and everyone will suffer. You will not say anything. Your second aunt will definitely complain."
After speaking, my aunt sighed softly and said, "Actually, my aunt is most worried about you now. Judging from your appearance, you don't want to..." In the past, my daughter never participated in everything.
"Aunt..." Before her aunt could finish speaking, Ning Jiayin stopped her words and gently leaned her head against her.
"You're a girl who hasn't even had hair extensions yet, so don't be pushy in everything." My aunt hugged her daughter's waist hard. She knew what her daughter was capable of. She was afraid that her daughter would be too assertive and she would be the one to suffer.
"Auntie, my aunt sees things so clearly. Isn't this a pearl left behind by a wealthy family?" Wu Jiayin dug into her arms again.
Why is her aunt so good? In a short period of time, I figured out the problem, and I didn't lament that I couldn't see my daughter just because my son was taken away.
It is precisely because I always have my daughter in mind that I can observe her so carefully.
Men from declining aristocratic families only have one life to live, but women have a much harder time.
"Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about? My aunt just spends a lot of time outside and sees everything clearly." The aunt sighed and continued: "It's a pity that such a smart person like you was born in the hands of my aunt. In his belly, he stays in his own courtyard all day long. If he was born in the eldest lady’s belly,..."
"Auntie, please don't belittle yourself. Jiayin is glad to have an aunt like you. I just want to stay in my own yard and live a simple life." Ning Jiayin straightened her aunt up and said solemnly into her eyes. She had seen countless aunts in TV dramas and novels who tried to trick her into dying, or who used their children to compete for favor.
Aunt Wen's tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. Her children have never disliked her because of her birth. It's great!
"Auntie, did you know? Mother is pregnant." Ning Jiayin was shocked at this moment.
"Ah, when did it happen? Is it harmful to the fetus in this situation today?" Aunt Gao was startled, but it happened at this time.
"I just took my pulse. It's been nearly two months and the pulse has been very obvious. It's just that my mother is old and encounters this kind of change again. I wonder what will happen in the future?"
"Then think of something. Something happened to the master and the second brother was taken away. If the child can't be saved, how can she bear it?"
"This family will be in chaos." Aunt Wen was anxious.
"Auntie, auntie, why are you so nice!" Ning Jiayin hugged her aunt again.
"Go quickly. Auntie will go with you to see the eldest lady." Auntie Wen urged.
The man in the palace wears a narrow-sleeved Tsing Yi, with a straight back and a pair of black eyes as sharp as an eagle. Years of experience on the battlefield have made him calm and powerful.
Fufeng clasped his fists in greeting: "Your Majesty, the Ning family has settled down safely in the west of the city."
"Okay, send two people to guard nearby." The man cherished his words like gold, and just when Fufeng was about to retreat, he heard again: "Let's go to Qingshi Lane tonight."
