Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 4
Zheng Fu.

Summer is a bit sweltering, the windows are closed tightly, blocking the roiling heat waves and also blocking the light, the room is dark and dull.

Yang handed a cup of warm tea to relieve the heat to Zheng Anyan's hand.

"Master, there are some things that I shouldn't have said." Yang's voice was soft and pleasant, like a yellow warbler, making people's bones go limp, "After all, my concubine is not Jingning's own mother, so I take care of her a lot... Yesterday, Jing Ning is a bit annoyed at my concubine. But, Jing Ning is annoyed at my concubine, but my concubine treats her as her own child..."

Zheng Anyan held Yang's hand: "Yinhuan, Jingning is young and ignorant, don't take it to heart, after a few years, she will know that your heart is for her. If you have anything to say, just say it Well, between husband and wife, why bother to hesitate?"

Yang's white teeth bit her lip tightly, biting her lip so red that it made Zheng Anyan stare at her.

"Jing Ning sent someone to send a letter to the third prince, and made an appointment with the third prince. He went out this morning and hasn't come back yet. I think, what Jing Ning said that day and how well-behaved these days are all for the master. A piece of filial piety, lest the master be angry."

Yang's words seemed to be helping Jingning, but they were actually provoking.

Sure enough, Zheng Anyan's expression changed immediately, and the cup in his hand fell hard to the ground.

"Where is she showing filial piety to me?! This is clearly deception! I didn't expect, I didn't expect this daughter to learn to deceive people! Why did she take my father seriously? It's like a monkey!"

Zheng Anyan got up, walked around the room frantically, his face flushed red like a raging beast, and he lost all the temperament of a literati.

Zheng Anyan was obviously mad.

He originally thought that Jing Ning had repented and showed filial piety towards him, and he was quite relieved, thinking that she hadn't hurt her in vain all these years, but now this blow made Zheng Anyan dizzy.

This daughter, let him down so much!
Young's heart is happy.

She felt that Zheng Jingning was a little different, she was no longer as stupid as before, and she approached him with a smile when it hurt her.But so what?In her eyes, Zheng Jingning's methods are like children's play, insignificant.

Mrs. Yang was happy, but she didn't show the slightest bit of it on her face, instead she was full of sadness: "Master, maybe we have misunderstood, Jing Ning went to see Zhao Ying, maybe there is something important, not because of the personal relationship between children? "

"Yinhuan, you don't have to speak for that wicked girl. What can she do with Zhao Ying? A girl who is so unreserved is a disgrace to Miss Zheng! When she comes back, she must be punished properly!"

……

The summer sun scorched the earth, creating a sea of ​​heat.

At this time, it is most suitable to be at home, with the wind blowing, and then eating iced fruit.

Bihua thought so, so she couldn't figure out why the young lady braved the scorching sun to look at the lotus by the lotus pond.

The lady was sweating profusely, but it attracted a lot of attention.

Bihua saw that her young lady's delicate face was slightly reddened by the sun, and couldn't help but said: "Miss, I've finished seeing Second Miss Xiao, why don't you go home?"

Jing Ning stood still under the willow tree, under the shade of the tree, with the cool breeze blowing, it was very refreshing.

Her eyes are like a stream of clear water, the water is shining, but the depth is bottomless.

There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but there was no smile in her eyes, instead there was a hint of gloom.

"Of course it's time to give Mrs. Yang a complaint."

"Miss, you..."

Bi Hua has been by Jing Ning's side for so many years, so she is not a stupid person. It is because she is too smart that she was regarded as a thorn in the side of Yang Shi and Zheng Xiuning, and she died tragically under their urging.

Is it...

There was a trace of joy in Bihua's heart, rushing towards the mouth of the throat.

"You know Mrs. Yang is not a good person?"

Bi Hua sees it through, and actually already knows that Yang's intention is to target Miss, but Miss is in it, and Yang's rank is high, Miss still can't see through.Bihua mentioned it a few times, but was reprimanded by the lady every time.

Bihua was angry in her heart, but she had no choice but to bear it.

As a result, now, Miss actually sees through Yang's true face? !
Bihua was both surprised and delighted.

"I was too stupid before, and I won't be anymore."

Bihua's eyes suddenly widened as she thought about Miss's actions in the past two days.

"Miss, did you deliberately say in front of Qingyue that you were going to meet the Third Prince?!"

Jing Ning nodded.

"Ms. Yang will definitely take this opportunity to file a complaint, and then you will ask Second Miss Xiao to testify and slap Yang's face severely so that the master can see her true face?!"

Bihua felt faintly excited.

Not only did Miss see through Yang's true face, she was also ready to fight back!
There was a slight sneer on the corner of Jingning's mouth: "Of course it's not that simple, Bihua, just wait and see a good show."

This time, she wanted to make her father completely disappointed in Yang Shi!

Seeing that it was almost time, Jing Ning took Bi Hua back to the mansion.

Zheng's mansion is a scholarly family, and the mansion also exudes a scholarly elegance.

The lacquer on the rich door is dark and dull, without luxury, adding simplicity.

As soon as Jing Ning stepped into the gate of Zheng's mansion, she saw the nanny serving Yang's side.

The nanny kept looking at the door, and then followed Jing Ning's figure, as if she was waiting for her specially.

The nanny's expression was exposed, and there was a hint of complacency in her eyes.

As for what to be proud of——

Jing Ning's brows drooped, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"Miss, the master said that if you come back, you can go to his yard." The old mother's voice was hoarse and harsh.

Jing Ning nodded and walked towards his father's yard.

The old nanny stared at her back, and couldn't help showing a weird smile. This young lady didn't know that she was about to face a catastrophe.

The door of father's bedroom was tightly closed, Jing Ning walked over and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly, and Yang opened it with a trace of worry in his eyes.

She seemed to want to say something, opened her mouth, and said: "Admit your mistakes to the master."

A mocking smile flashed across Jing Ning's downcast eyes.

boom!
A teacup in Zheng Anyan's hand directly hit Jing Ning's head.

Jing Ning felt a sharp pain on his forehead, dizzy, and subconsciously took two steps back.

After a while, the pain subsided, and Jing Ning's forehead was bleeding. Her skin was fair, and this redness was even more shocking.

Jing Ning touched his forehead with his hand, and there was a trace of bewilderment in his eyes: "Father, you..."

"Kneel down!" Zheng Anyan shouted sharply.

Jing Ning knelt down, but her small face was raised high, and there was a trace of grievance between her brows.

"Father, what did Jingning do wrong? You made Jingning kneel down for nothing?"

Yang said earnestly: "Jingning, you should admit your mistakes to the master. The master also cares about you. You are a filial child, so don't make the master angry."

Jing Ning was even more aggrieved: "But I don't know what's wrong."

"Zheng Jingning, you still dare to quibble!" Zheng Anyan's face was very ugly, his eyes were full of disappointment, "You went to see His Highness the Third Highness today! Did you lie to your father for everything you did before?!"

Jing Ning's face changed, as if he was a little flustered, and said anxiously: "Father, I didn't, I didn't go to see His Highness the Third Highness! Who whispered something in your ear? It must be nonsense, Dad, don't believe in such nonsense Man, I am your daughter, you have to trust your daughter!"

"Is your aunt a mess?" Zheng Anyan slapped the table angrily.

"Auntie..." Jing Ning looked at Yang Shi suddenly, "Auntie, why did you want to kill me? I really didn't go to see the Third Prince!"

"Jingning, what is 'harm'? Why would my aunt hurt you? My aunt is worried about you!" Yang's face turned pale quickly, and she stood leaning on the table, precariously.

"That's enough! Jingning, go kneel in the ancestral hall for me! When do you realize that you made a mistake, come to me again!" Zheng Anyan sternly said.

Zheng Anyan was so angry that he didn't eat any more after two mouthfuls of dinner.

A charming little girl, kneeling in the gloomy ancestral hall, her legs are numb, she has never been wronged like this, she must be full of grievances and sadness at this time.

Thinking of these, Yang couldn't help but feel a lot better.

The only fly in the ointment is that Zheng Jingning has developed resentment towards herself, which has affected her image as a considerate stepmother...

Zheng Anyan has been sitting in the study, no matter how Yang Shi persuades him, he is like a cold and hard stone, with a stinky face.

Jing Ning knelt in the ancestral hall for a whole night, her knees were swollen and painful, and her whole body was stiff, but she still knelt there with her teeth gritted.

Zheng Anyan also stayed up all night, looking at the white belly in the east.

"That girl...she still doesn't admit her mistake?" Zheng Anyan muttered in a low voice.

By noon, Zheng Anyan couldn't bear it anymore.

Jing Ning knelt for a day and a night, still wearing the clothes from yesterday, her delicate face turned pale, hungry and cold, she had reached her limit...

This is what Zheng Anyan saw when he came.

Jing Ning's delicate body fell straight down.

Zheng Anyan didn't care about getting angry anymore, and rushed over quickly, hugging her daughter tightly in her arms.

"Jing Ning!"

This was the last voice Jing Ning heard before he fell into a coma, full of urgency and worry.

……

The girl's boudoir is filled with the fragrance of medicine.

When Jing Ning opened his eyes, he saw a blurry shadow, which became clearer and clearer.

The middle-aged man had an unshaven beard and slightly red eyes, as if he hadn't slept for a long time.

"Father, Jingning...Jingning didn't see Zhao Ying, father believed me." Jingning said, her voice was very hoarse.

Zheng Anyan got closer to hear her words clearly.

Zheng Anyan's thoughts moved slightly, could it be that Jing Ning really didn't go to see Zhao Ying?But Yang's work has always been prudent, so he shouldn't make mistakes.

Thinking about this, Zheng Anyan felt angry and wanted to get angry.

Just then-

"Master, Second Miss Xiao is here to see Miss." Someone outside said in a low voice.

Jing Ning's whole body was limp, but his mind was more lucid than ever.

coming.
