Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 372 Lessons
In the blink of an eye, Jing Ning inadvertently caught a glimpse of a goose-yellow skirt beside the rockery.She frowned and shouted in a deep voice: "Who is eavesdropping here? Come out!" She dared to run to the corner of her own courtyard to listen to the wall, she wanted to see when there was such a bold slave in the general's mansion, and she must treat that person well Punish it, otherwise the general's mansion will be in chaos.

Lan Yao raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, followed Jing Ning's gaze, and saw Wanxi coming out from behind the rockery with embarrassment, but soon returned to normal.She originally planned to go to Mrs. Yang today to save her from the punishment of copying Buddhist scriptures, but when she saw Lan Yao, she followed her quietly, wanting to see what Lan Yao was doing looking for Jingning, but she never expected to be discovered.

"Why are you here?" A bit of surprise flashed in Jing Ning's eyes, but more of boredom and disdain.Originally seeing Lan Yao today, she felt a bit of joy in her heart, but Wanxi's appearance just ruined her mood, and she even did such a disgraceful thing as listening to the corner of the wall, the smile on Jing Ning's lips gradually faded, The attitude is very cold.

"A few days ago, I bumped into my sister, and I felt very guilty and uneasy. I wanted to apologize to my sister this time, but I saw you and Miss Lan Yao having a good conversation. Naturally, I didn't want to disturb you, so I waited aside. My sister misunderstood me. " Wanxi frowned slightly, with a very aggrieved expression on her face, as if she was being bullied by Jing Ning.

Jing Ning hooked the corners of her lips, and a bit of sarcasm flashed in her eyes. It seemed that she had really underestimated Wan Xi's cheekiness. She was not so thick, and she didn't even need to write a draft when she lied.

"Forget it, you can go back, there's no need to apologize, I hope you can take care of yourself in the future." Jing Ning picked up the teacup, the intention of chasing the guests was very obvious.She feels upset when she sees Wanxi now, partly because of Xiao Lin, and partly because she simply doesn't like this person.

Wanxi's expression froze for a moment, she didn't expect Jingning to be so disrespectful to herself.She tightened the embroidered handkerchief in her hand and forced a smile.

"I heard that my sister is going to a palace banquet. My sister must pay attention to her appearance. If she is still like this in the mansion, I am afraid that others will laugh at our general's mansion. At least, my sister should be like me."

Wanxi raised her chin with a bit of pride on her face, as if she was quite confident in her appearance.

"This person, it is important to have self-knowledge. If all the women in the world are like you, I am afraid that the king will not dare to choose a concubine, so as not to be disgusted to death." Lan Yao glanced at Wanxi coolly, and said slowly. Picking up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, she didn't care about Wanxi's unpredictable expression.

"Miss Lan is really eloquent. I can't complain that she hasn't left the cabinet at this age. I'm afraid no man will marry such a mean person into the mansion." Jing Ning saluted perfunctorily, turned around and was about to leave.

"stop."

Jing Ning's tone was gentle, but it contained a force that no one could refuse. Wanxi stopped, and turned around to face Jing Ning.Jing Ning's eyes were very calm, but after the calm, there was a bit of anger hidden.She doesn't want to care about Wanxi's exaggerated words on weekdays, but now she dares to mock her friends like this, which is something she cannot tolerate.Jing Ning narrowed his eyes, and the temperature in his eyes dropped little by little.

"Apologize to her."

Wanxi's face was full of disbelief, she wanted to refute, but Jing Ning's gaze on her seemed to have substance, as if she wanted to pierce a hole in her body.She gritted her teeth and said: "My words were inappropriate." Then she quickly left, but fortunately Jing Ning didn't stop her this time.Jing Ning and Lan Yao looked at each other, they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"It's really a suffering in the world for you to get along with her every day." Lan Yao's eyes were full of sympathy.

"There's no way, life can't always go smoothly." Jing Ning sighed, but a smile flickered in his eyes.Getting along with Wanxi is really boring, but Lan Yao's teasing like this is a bit interesting, it's right to watch a show.

Then the two picked up some light things to talk about, and before they knew it, the sky gradually darkened, and Lan Yao got up to leave.

Perhaps because of Lan Yao, Jing Ning's mood improved a lot on the second day, and she no longer had a sad face all day long, which relieved Xiao's mother who had been secretly worried.Although Jing Ning has been refraining from showing it, everyone can see that Jing Ning misses Xiao Lin more than a little or two.

"Sister-in-law is looking good today. If you want me to tell you, you should let Sister Lan come to the mansion more often, otherwise sister-in-law may become ill from worry." Xiao Yuan teased Jing Ning with her big eyes flashing, and the smile on her lips was bright and tender. With a bit of cunning.

Jing Ning's face became hot, and she sandwiched a piece of hibiscus cake for Xiao Yuan, and softly reprimanded: "Eating can't stop your mouth, eat it quickly!"

Xiao Yuan stuck out her tongue, her playful appearance made Xiao's father and Xiao's mother put a smile on their faces.

Wanxi looked at everyone's happy appearance, feeling very upset.She rolled her eyes, covered her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief, and coughed heavily.Jing Ning glanced at Wanxi, then continued to eat in silence.Xiao Yuan twitched the corner of her mouth and ignored Wanxi directly.Xiao's mother was originally angry with Wanxi because of the poisoning, but Wanxi's cough became louder, and she couldn't help but ignore it. After all, this is a person bestowed by the emperor, so she can't be neglected.

"Is Wanxi feeling unwell?"

Wanxi's eye sockets turned red immediately, but tears welled up in an instant.She said in a low voice, "Please worry about it. Maybe it's because I miss the general too much recently, and I have caught a cold, so I contracted a cough. It's all my fault, my body is not up to date."

The smile on Xiao's mother's face gradually faded, and the expression on her face was not as natural as before, and her worry about Xiao Lin was aroused by Wanxi again.

"The Buddhist temple in the south is located in the mountains and forests. The scenery is good. It's a good place to recuperate. Why don't we pack up our luggage and move in for a while today." Jing Ning looked at Wanxi's pretentious appearance coldly, and said nothing. You're welcome.

The expression on Wanxi's face twisted, she knew that if she really went to the Buddhist temple to recuperate, she might never be able to enter the General's Mansion again.She hid the resentment in her eyes, and said softly: "There is no need to bother, it's just a minor illness, if you want to rest for two or three days, it will be fine."

"It's very good, and it saves a lot of trouble." Jing Ning nodded, with a calm look on his face, but his disgust towards Wan Xi deepened a lot.

Wanxi twitched her eyes, did she mean that she was a trouble?Thinking of this, Wanxi gritted her teeth secretly but couldn't get angry, so she had to hold back her anger and didn't say another word.
