Chapter 48 The Concubine's Rebellion (13)

The next morning, when Xi Ning came to the lobby, Xu Cheng and Xu Wenyan didn't dare to say anything even if they were upset at Xi Ning.

At this time, the injuries on their bodies are still aching, it seems that they need to find a doctor to take a look.

Xu Jinghong looked at Xi Ning who was sitting beside him, and sighed:

"Xu Dong'er is fighting with his father, what should we do?"

At this time, he didn't know who he should help.

One is a father who loves him, and the other is a cheap sister who has a good relationship with him.

Seeing the two of them turning against each other, Xu Jinghong was very tangled and sad.

He has never met Fourth Aunt, but he has also heard some things about Fourth Household in the house.

Xi Ning looked at Xu Jinghong's troubled little face:

"Don't think too much about it. Eat well, read and write well with your master, that's your top priority. It's not your turn to worry about other things."

Xi Ning hated Sanfang for being honest, but she also really liked Xu Jinghong, his younger brother.

He is born smart, polite, good-looking, and has a high IQ. The only downside is that Sanfang is his biological mother.

When Xi Ning was having breakfast, the eyes of the other siblings all fell on Xi Ning.

They already knew what happened last night, Xi Ning dared to slap his father, it was really too courageous.

Father didn't punish Xi Ning, and the silver was given to her as usual, and she didn't have to kneel down and apologize to the mistress.

All these things made the other siblings hate Xi Ning to a higher level.

Everyone is a child of the father, so why should you get special treatment.

After breakfast, everyone left, but Xu Guang let Xi Ning stay.

The two father and daughter sat together, Xu Guang felt a little overwhelmed, he didn't know how to communicate with this daughter who hated him.

He took a deep breath before slowly opening his mouth:
"Dong'er, after my consideration, I decided to send you to the women's courtyard, and let the maid of the women's courtyard teach you how to be a filial daughter."

"In the women's courtyard, you can also learn about women's work, women's virtues, women's looks and women's commandments."

Hearing these words that seemed to be for her own sake, Xi Ning sneered:
"Father likes parenting so much, it's better to let the two elder brothers learn what is male virtue."

The so-called "four women" are what people call women's studies, which are all kinds of pedantic and harmful cultural dross.

As for female workers, Xi Ning doesn't want to learn for now.

The Xu family is in the business of ready-made clothes and rouge and gouache, and there are quite a few embroiderers in the shop, so why waste time and money on a ridiculous women's courtyard.

Xi Ning didn't want to learn this kind of cultural dross.

Without Xi Ning's consent, Xu Guang could not forcibly send Xi Ning there.

That slap last night made him understand that he is not a qualified father, and has been neglecting this daughter who is not favored by him for many years.

"Mr. Liu, it's my fault that made Dong'er look like this."

Thinking of the dead Sifang, Xu Guang remembered the time when he and Mrs. Liu were in the brothel.

At that time, he already had a wife and two concubines, but he was still dissolute. Unfortunately, all of this has become a thing of the past.

"Since you don't want to, forget it, this pair of chopsticks is not bad at home."

Seeing Xi Ning leaving, Xu Guang felt a little sad.

After Fa's wife died, Xu Guang seemed to care a little more about this big family.

As soon as Xi Ning walked out of the lobby, other siblings surrounded her.

"What did your father tell you? Why is your father so interested in you? What did you do to your father?" Fourth Miss Xu's Mansion asked viciously.

Faced with this question, Xi Ning decided to tell a little lie after a second thought:
"I didn't say anything. My father felt that he had treated me badly all these years. He decided to give me an extra twelve cases of silver every month."

When the siblings present heard Xi Ning's answer, their pupils trembled instantly.

How is this possible, the father actually favors a concubine so much!
"You're lying!" Fourth Miss didn't believe Xi Ning's words.

She looked down at Xi Ning's waist again, trying to take Xi Ning's purse away.

Looking at the hand stretched out, Xi Ning kicked the fourth sister away, trying to steal her money, but there was no door.

"Don't try to steal money from me, do it, I won't be polite to you." Xi Ning warned these people who couldn't read their faces.

Xu Cheng and Xu Wenyan watched the fourth sister being kicked away, but they didn't dare to say anything more.

Both of them can't beat Xi Ning together, let alone the fourth sister who is a woman.

Xu Jinghong was speechless at this:

"Are you all crazy? Eldest brother and second brother were beaten so badly by Xu Dong'er, yet they still dare to attack her. Really?"

Xu Jinghong didn't want to talk anymore.

He turned to his brothers and sisters and said:

"Brother, sister, don't make Xu Dong'er angry casually, she really knows how to beat people, and she beats her father too, so don't fight her, absolutely don't."

If they weren't siblings of his own mother, Xu Jinghong wouldn't bother to persuade them.

Under Xi Ning's warning, the others kept to themselves and did not come to trouble her.

Days passed by, the harsh winter had passed, and it was already the beginning of April.

During this period of time, Xi Ning worked hard to learn medicine by herself every day, and made prescriptions and elixirs based on medical books.

This day is the Qingming Festival once a year.

On the day of Ching Ming Festival, Xi Ning went home after sweeping Mrs. Liu's grave.

Xi Ning completely ignored the mistress and other so-called ancestors.

When Xi Ning returned home, the old woman happened to see her. The old woman was too old to climb the mountain to visit the grave, so she stayed at home.

"Xu Dong'er, what's the matter with you? The grave sweeping is over so soon?" the old woman asked angrily.

Xi Le rolled her eyes:

"I was just sweeping my mother's grave. After I finished, I would come back naturally. There's nothing to ask about that."

The fact that the graves of the mistress and the housekeeper were not destroyed was the result of Xi Ning's kindness, but this dead old woman still has so many things to do.

The old woman still wanted to stinky Xi Ning, but she glanced at the hoe in Xi Ning's hand, and she was scared.

If Xi Ning hit her with a hoe when she disagreed, she might die.

By the time the others returned home, it was already two hours later.

The accompanying people, as well as the servants of the house, can have dinner immediately after the whole family returns.

During the meal, Xu Guang also announced one more thing:
"Today, I have an important event to tell everyone. April No. 15 is the birthday banquet of Prince Jing's Mansion. Our Xu Manor has received an invitation from Prince Jing's Mansion."

"This banquet is the key to our relationship with the royal family. With the relationship with the royal family, the business of our Xu Mansion will go to a higher level."

Xu Guang was pleasantly surprised when he received the invitation for King Jing's birthday party.

He never expected that his business would attract Prince Jing's attention.

It's just that all of this is due to Xining and Xu Jinghong.
