Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 156

It was very quiet all around.Jing Ning saw that the atmosphere was tense for a while, but he didn't dare to say more.Zheng Anyan kept her head down and kept silent, the old lady's hands tightened slightly, as if she was getting anxious, she grabbed the teacup next to her hand and threw it down.

"Oh!"

The teacup fell to the ground and was broken into pieces, but fortunately it didn't hurt Zheng Anyan except for the water soaking his robe.Jing Ning's heart skipped a beat when he saw it, and he glanced at the old lady from the teacup on the ground, as if he had decided on something, he picked the palm of his hand.

"Since grandma is old, she really shouldn't be bothering with family affairs like this anymore." Jing Ning walked slowly towards the old lady, trying to ease the extremely tense atmosphere with a calm tone.

The old lady raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she felt Jing Ning's approval of her decision, she closed her eyes and nodded.

Zheng Anyan didn't look at Jing Ning, but obviously his back straightened a lot after hearing Jing Ning's words.Jing Ning also noticed Zheng Anyan's small movements, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It would be great if I could also find a beloved man like my father.

"But Jing Ning is no longer a child."

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Anyan's eyes widened, not to mention the old lady, and she looked at Jingning in confusion, her eyes full of searching.

Jing Ning consciously ignored these things, smiled slightly, and moved closer to the old lady's side, "If grandma believes in Jing Ning, you might as well give Jing Ning the right to prepare the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."

Give it to Jing Ning?

The old lady was stunned.She never expected Jing Ning to say such words, it seemed that in her eyes, Jing Ning was still that little child who didn't know much about the world.

"Jing Ning, don't be joking, this is not a trivial matter." The old lady was actually a little restless, she was originally a bargaining chip to persecute Zheng Anyan, but now she seems to be persecuting her own granddaughter.

"Grandmother, you can rest assured that Jing Ning will definitely satisfy you, Grandmother." Jing Ning smiled slightly, and his words were just right, so that the old lady could not refute anything.

If she refuted again, she might get the stigma of being greedy for power and unwilling to let go.

"Jingning...?" Zheng Anyan asked with hesitation, as if he was afraid that he would hurt his daughter, but he was also afraid that Jingning would evade, and he would be embarrassed by the old lady again.

Jing Ning gave Zheng Anyan a calm look, looked at the old lady again, and said, "Jing Ning sincerely wants to share the burden for grandma, grandma must give Jing Ning some face." Jing Ning said, He also pouted, with an aggrieved look on his face.

Seeing Jing Ning's appearance, the old lady immediately softened her heart, and said kindly, "Okay, okay, try it if you want."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to think of something, and added, "My family won't blame you if it doesn't work out."

With the old lady's permission, Jing Ning also breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that the old lady would reject her just like that!

While thinking, she glanced at Zheng Anyan again, nodded, and walked quickly to the old lady's side, "Thank you, grandma! I also ask grandma to trust Jingning, Jingning will definitely not let grandma down!"

"Okay, okay, you little girl!" The old lady poked Jing Ning's forehead with her finger, her eyes were full of love.Jing Ning smiled, talked with the old lady, and then left.

Seeing Jing Ning leaving, Zheng Anyan also wanted to follow.Just about to open his mouth, the old lady stopped him, "An Yan..."

When Zheng Anyan heard the old lady's voice, she stopped in an instant, but did not turn her head.

"Don't blame mother, I really think about the Zheng family." Her eyes slowly lowered, "Our Zheng family can't have a descendant..."

Zheng Anyan didn't dare to look back at the old lady, maybe it was because she was suddenly too old, or maybe it was the obsession in his heart that he refused to let go.

"Jing Ning is going to marry after all..."

Zheng Anyan finally made up his mind and walked out of the old lady's room with big steps.

Some things have been experienced for a lifetime, and some people believe that they cannot be changed.

Jing Ning stared blankly at the sky, filled with emotion for a moment.

Such things as family banquets were not unprepared in my previous life.Remembering the nervousness when preparing for the first family dinner, her head drooped again, and the sadness was fleeting.It's all over, and now this family banquet is her first time!

She seemed to cheer up a lot and patted her cheek.

For her, this family banquet was really a rush to the shelves.If it wasn't for her father's rescue, she definitely wouldn't have come here.

It is a great joy if this matter is done well, if it is not done well, it will definitely be chewed up.In particular, the mother and daughter of the Li family are still living in the prime minister's mansion, which is not something that can be stopped.

Jing Ning felt her head hurt.

But I really thought about it seriously. I remember that there was an imperial chef in the palace who could make soup and food with medicinal herbs. What was his name...?
She held her head with one hand and tried hard, but couldn't think of anything.

"Who is here..."

"Miss? What are you talking about?" Wen Xing at the side looked at Jing Ning and felt that Jing Ning was regretting what happened just now, so he comforted, "Miss, don't worry too much, the old lady will definitely not blame Miss Your."

Jing Ning listened, and smiled at Wen Xing, but didn't say much.She really shot herself in the foot, maybe this girl would think so?
Although the resources around her are not as good as in her previous life, she still has some skills in cooking.Now that I have decided to do so, it is not easy to go back on my word.

Jing Ning stood up suddenly, startling the people beside him, he dared not make any sound for a long time.

I'm afraid the lady is in a hurry?
Just as Wen Xing was thinking, Jing Ning suddenly started to rush forward. She rushed out, not daring to stop following Jing Ning's footsteps, for fear that her young lady would do something impulsively, so she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, miss?"

"Wen Xing! Listen to me, help me buy some herbs."

Jing Ning's heart was beating a bit violently, after all, this was her first time cooking after being reborn.

If it was done well, her face would still be bright, but if she couldn't sit properly... I'm afraid not only her own face, but also Zheng Anyan's face would be slapped.

She looked at the busy people and sighed again.

Hope it goes well...

She doesn't want to get any appreciation, she just wants to satisfy everyone and hold a successful family banquet.

"The old lady really asked Zheng Jingning to prepare the family banquet?" Li Shi's eyebrows were furrowed together, it could have been otherwise.

This Zheng Jingning must have done it on purpose!
But...it's not bad...Li Ziyue rolled her eyes and smiled slyly.

"Mother, don't panic, I still don't believe that she can make a family banquet into a flower." Li Ziyue said, very confident, sure that Zheng Jingning must not do well, even with a smile on her face.

"Maybe it can change the old lady's opinion of her!" She suddenly felt a little excited, and she was looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet.If the old lady has a bias towards Jing Ning, it will be really pleasing to the hearts of the people!

What does Zheng Jingning, who messed up the family banquet, look like?
She was looking forward to it.
