After the general's wife was reborn, everyone knelt down and begged her for mercy.

Chapter 50 I’m a fellow countryman

Ning Ruyan heard that Liniang came to look for her. It was really a black line. She had never had contact with him, okay?We even met him on the day of the accident, but we haven't seen each other or even spoken to him since then. Why did he come to her here?
"Miss, how about I go and send her away." Bai Zhi said.

Ning Ruyan pondered for a moment: "Well, just say I'm not feeling well."

Bai Zhi turned around and walked out, but as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by Ning Ruyan.

"Let her come in."

"Miss?"

"If we want to cause chaos in the General's Mansion, this person should be able to be used as a sword."

Bai Zhi understood instantly and stepped out quickly.

Soon, Liniang walked in quickly behind Bai Zhi. When she entered, she knelt down to Ning Ruyan and said, "Concubine, I have met the eldest lady."

"Sit down." Ning Ruyan gestured, "I wonder why Liniang is here?"

"I have been in the house for a few days, and now I have time to pay my respects to the eldest lady. Please forgive me."

"I am a widow now. I am really touched that you still remember to come and pay me a greeting." Ning Ruyan smiled immediately after hearing this.
At this time, Banxia had already brought refreshments.

"This is a snack made by the chef I brought from Suzhou. You can try it." Ning Ruyan gestured.

"I'd like to wrap up the crabapple cake and send it to Lang Zhinong." Liniang glanced at the snack, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she reached out and pinched a piece, "I haven't eaten this crabapple cake for a long time."

"Liniang actually recognizes Gusu's crabapple cake?" Ning Ruyan was surprised.

"To be honest with you, madam, I am from Gusu. When my mother was still alive, she would often make this crabapple cake. But then her parents passed away... I went north to look for relatives, but... none of my relatives are here anymore." Liniang At this point, his emotions had calmed down, and he smiled apologetically at Ning Ruyan, "I was a little excited when I saw things from my hometown."

"It turns out we are fellow villagers." Ning Ruyan was surprised, "Originally, you came back with your second uncle. I thought you were from Sui County."

The Jiang family's hometown is Suixian County, which is about 100 miles away from the capital. It still belongs to the North and is far from Suzhou.

"No, I met a gangster on the way to Beijing. It was the second young master who passed by and rescued me." Liniang smiled, "At that time, he was like a god descending to earth, asking me to..." She was shy and couldn't continue. .

"I understand, but then you are really destined." Ning Ruyan smiled.

"Originally, I thought God had shown mercy to me once, but I didn't expect..." Liniang said, tears falling again, "I didn't expect that just after I gave you hope, it was shattered again. My life is so miserable. "

"Hey." Ning Ruyan sighed, "It's not easy for us women. My husband went off to war just after I got married. I have been looking forward to becoming a widow. Being a widow is not easy in the first place, but it is still possible. Being framed, you said..." He also started crying, "How do you think you should live your life in the future?"

Liniang was a little stunned instead. Unexpectedly, Ning Ruyan started crying too. What should she say next?Of course, the purpose of her coming was not to admit her fellow countrymen and cry, so she hurriedly wiped her tears, stood up and bowed: "It's all my fault, I made the eldest lady sad."

"No, I just feel the same way."

"I...I am alone in this mansion and I ask the madam to lend a helping hand. I will definitely be a fool in the future." Liniang knelt down again.

"Hey." Ning Ruyan stood up and went over to help the person up, "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that the general's wife, my mother-in-law, is in charge now. She has the final say in everything." "What should we do? Liniang's tears fell again, "Now that I have entered the house, if I am kicked out, then...I am afraid that I will only die, wuwu..."

"Liniang." Ning Ruyan patted her hand, "Actually, it's not impossible."

"Please give me some advice, madam."

"But if my mother-in-law finds out about this, then I..." Ning Ruyan looked very embarrassed, "Then I really have no place in the house."

"Don't worry, madam, I will never betray you."

"Okay." Ning Ruyan hesitated for a long time and finally nodded, "Do you know that now is the period of filial piety in the house?"

Liniang nodded. It was because of this that she had not made anything happen with Jiang Bowen so far, so she could not stop him. Man, you have to taste it.

"The Kingdom of Daxia has regulations. If there is a strong filial piety in the family, there cannot be any entertainment activities for at least a month." Ning Ruyan raised her eyebrows slightly. In fact, this rule is often just a decoration. Self-consciously, after all, who can go to someone else’s bedside at night to see if the couple is exercising?
But if someone is serious, especially those in the homes of ministers, it would be a serious crime if someone exposes them.

"What does this have to do with concubine?" Liniang didn't know much about the law.

"If the second young master has a physical relationship with that person, do you think the government will protect that person or the second young master once it is revealed?"

Liniang pondered for a moment, but soon her eyes lit up and she bowed again: "Thank you, madam."

"Yes." Ning Ruyan nodded, "If you need help, you can ask Hu Huo for help. Although she is in Wutong Courtyard, she is my mother-in-law's family."

Liniang nodded, then turned and left.

"Miss, is she really from Gusu?" Bai Zhi looked at Liniang and frowned.

"Do you believe what she said?" Ning Ruyan smiled.

"But she knows about Begonia Cake."

Ning Ruyan picked up a piece of crabapple cake and took a bite: "This crabapple cake is an original creation of my mother."

"Is this Madam's original invention?" Bai Zhi was surprised, "I have been in the Ning family for ten years, and I don't know about it."

"Isn't that normal?" Ning Ruyan took another bite of the pastry, "And that poem existed a long time ago, and it was not specially made for this crabapple cake. She did find out my details. Unfortunately, All I know is the news that dad released after the crab apple cake was sold in Ning’s Restaurant.”

"No wonder." Bai Zhi nodded, "But, you asked the second young master and that Miss Xu..."

"Whether she succeeds in helping those two people or allows herself to succeed in the position depends on whether she is smart or not." Ning Ruyan finished the remaining cakes in her hand and took another sip of tea, "The rest of you Divide it, it won’t taste right if you keep it for a long time, I’m going to take a rest.”

　----

　　Begonia cake is one of the top ten pastries in Suzhou, but its history can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty. The name "Yan" is an imaginary dynasty, but it must have been before the Qing Dynasty. I am just borrowing it here, please don't take it seriously!
