The genius pyrographer of the reborn daughter

Chapter 12
Ning Wanzhu followed Madam Ye to see Aunt Shao, and she kept beating a small drum in her heart.

She was forced to leave Ning's house two days ago, was in danger on the mountain road, and was poisoned yesterday. Thinking about these things in parallel, Aunt Shao is the most suspicious.Therefore, Ning Wanzhu's fear and loathing towards this aunt was almost to the extreme.When she thought that this woman was in the same courtyard as her, she felt extremely disturbed.

Qiu Yu picked up Nanny Ye and Ning Wanzhu at the gate of the courtyard, went into the house to report back, and then helped Aunt Shao out with a veil covering her head and a sickly face.

Ning Wanzhu stood behind Madam Ye, carefully scrutinizing Aunt Shao's expression.This Aunt Shao is of the same clan as Ning Wanzhu's deceased biological mother, the Shao family.The Shao family is also a big family in Nanyang, and the Shao family is the direct branch of the clan, and the Shao family is the eldest daughter of the direct branch.However, Aunt Shao is the concubine of the offshoot of the Shao family, and she can barely be regarded as the cousin of the Shao family.Back then, for unknown reasons, she married into the Ning family as a concubine.It is said that Aunt Shao is very similar to her biological mother, so she looks like Ning Luozi.

Ning Wanzhu secretly looked at Aunt Shao, only to see that her face was yellow, her eyes were swollen, and her eyes were dull. She really looked sick.If counting from the biological mother, this Aunt Shao can barely be regarded as her blood relative of Ning Wanzhu.However, when Ning Wanzhu thought that she almost lost her life two days ago, and thought that the innocent coachman Wang died for no reason because of a conspiracy against her, she was not even in the mood to greet Aunt Shao and salute for a while.

Fortunately, Nanny Ye was not in the mood to greet Aunt Shao seriously, she only exchanged a few casual greetings, then sat down, and told Aunt Shao that Ning Wanzhu had moved to live with her as if she was gossip.

Aunt Shao suddenly opened her eyes wide, and then closed them again, trying to hide her emotions.

Ye Momo looked at Ning Wanzhu with a smile at this moment, and said, "Second Miss, did you rest comfortably in the green gauze cabinet last night?"

Ning Wanzhu rolled her eyes, and immediately said in a child's coquettish tone: "It's so comfortable, I want to sleep in the green gauze cabinet in the nanny's room every day." Then she stood beside Nanny Ye affectionately, stretched out her hand her sleeves.

Aunt Shao couldn't refute, and she didn't like it in her heart, so she just took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, covered her mouth, and coughed desperately a few times.

Another girl of Aunt Shao's, named Qiu Xue, came in from the outside at this time, and said in front of everyone: "Ning Zhuangtou is asking for instructions from outside, saying that there is some news from the Nanyang government office. Do you want him to come in?" "It wasn't long before Qiuxue was put up as the maidservant next to Aunt Shao, and her words and deeds always made people feel that she was inappropriate.

Aunt Shao was very dissatisfied when she saw Qiu Xue talking about this with Ning Wanzhu in front of Nanny Ye, but she had no choice but to order Ning Yongqiang to come in.Everyone was in the hall listening to Ning Yongqiang recounting the words from Nanyang City—the Nanyang government office just said that they met a group of thieves on the road, and they couldn't rob the money, so they became angry and killed Wang's coachman to vent their anger.

"Did Nanyang Mansion really say that?" Ning Wanzhu couldn't help asking.

Ning Yongqiang looked at the second young lady in surprise, and when he saw that she was young, he asked her a question, which was really beyond his expectation.

"Why didn't the Nanyang government check the Ning family's big car, whether it was tampered with?" Ning Wanzhu seemed to be recalling the events of the day, while pretending to be puzzled and asked: "I remember the car on the road the day before yesterday. At that time, Uncle Wang first told us that the cart was broken and we couldn’t walk, so we rushed forward to find Sister Momei to play... If the cart was not broken, Uncle Wang would not..." She recalled the time Situation, my heart felt a little cold, if she hadn't insisted on that day, I'm afraid that she and Mo Lan, like the coachman Wang, would have become ghosts under the sword long ago.

Ning Yongqiang responded, "What the second lady said, the villain has never heard of it. This sounds like a clue, and the villain will send someone to deliver the letter to Nanyang City."

In the hall, Aunt Shao's complexion became even paler, and she looked at Ning Wanzhu even more unkindly.Ning Wanzhu pretended to be young and frightened, and hid behind Madam Ye.Mother Ye raised her head to look at Aunt Shao, who was startled, so she restrained herself from staring at Ning Wanzhu fiercely.

However, Aunt Shao did not let Ning Wanzhu go. She put on a serious face and said to Nanny Ye very seriously: "Mommy, how have you arranged the homework for the second young lady for these two days?"

Ye Momo frowned, and it was only two days since everyone settled down on Zhuangzi.

"Mommy, the second lady didn't come here to visit the village." Aunt Shao covered her mouth with a handkerchief, coughed twice, and then said darkly: "At the beginning, my master told me to do it myself. Now, I want the Second Miss to 'grind her temper' in Zhuangzi. If the Second Miss is not in the room to do some homework quietly, how should I explain to my master at that time."

Aunt Shao spoke to my master, pointing out every word that Madam Ye is just an outsider living here, and it is all right to protect Ning Wanzhu, but if Madam Ye prevents her from disciplining Ning Wanzhu, she has no position.

Mammy Ye felt a little helpless, but Ning Wanzhu raised her face and gave Mammy a comforting look, as if to say, it's okay, the hard days will be over after a while.Mother Ye was quite moved, but she had no choice but to slowly discuss with Aunt Shao how to "bring up" Ning Wanzhu.

According to Aunt Shao's words, Ning Wanzhu should still stay in her own room when she is in Zhuangzi, and first copy "Women's Precepts" and "Women's Rules" one hundred times each, and make two hundred chapters before leaving the room.However, Nanny Ye felt that the punishment was too much, and the two of them were in a dispute.It was that Qiu Xue who ran in again and said, "Auntie, the young master and miss of the Cao family happened to pass by. I heard that our lady is coming to the Zhuangzi, and I want to invite our lady to meet!"

Cao Yue'e?As soon as Ning Wanzhu heard that it was the lady from the Cao family who came over, she immediately recalled the oval face with a little baby fat, and the eyes that were always smiling into two slits.

This Cao family is also a big family in Nanyang, and the Cao family's Zhuangzi is at the junction with Du's village.In the previous life, the Cao family and the Ning family were on good terms. Ning Wanzhu and Cao's daughter, Yue'e, also exchanged handkerchiefs. The two were of the same age, and Ning Wanzhu was more than half a year older than Cao Yue'e.Cao Yue'e also married in Beijing, and the two had been in contact until Ning Wanzhu was no longer willing to go out because of the "family ugliness" of her husband and concubine sister, which caused the relationship between the two to become estranged.Later Ning Wanzhu was imprisoned in the family temple, so naturally she didn't get any news about Cao Yue'e, so she didn't know how she was doing.

But now that Cao Yue'e has come to the door, if the Cao family know that Miss Ning has been driven to the Zhuangzi because of a mistake and is still grounded, the Ning family can't afford to lose this person.

Aunt Shao said helplessly: "Please come in, Miss Cao! Mr. Cao, please ask the head of the village to serve tea outside. The family is full of female relatives, so it is not proper to invite you rashly."

It didn't take long for this word to spread, and Cao Yue'e rushed in in a hurry. When she saw Ning Wanzhu, she suddenly stopped in her footsteps.Ning Wanzhu had already put a smile on her face, ready to welcome this "old friend", but when she saw Cao Yue'e's appearance, the smile froze on her face.

Nanny Ye and Aunt Shao gave way at this moment, leaving the hall to the lady of the Ning family to "receive guests", with only Mo Mei and Mo Lan accompanying her.Seeing that there were no elders around, Cao Yue'e's attitude towards Ning Wanzhu also faded.She looked up and down Ning Wanzhu's half-new clothes, and said: "I'm really sorry, I only heard from your Zhuangtou that Miss Ning's family was at home, so I thought it was your sister-in-law who was there, but I didn't expect it to be you." ..."

For a moment Ning Wanzhu didn't know what it was like.

Probably Cao Yue'e had friendship with Ning Luozi after she was dropped in Nanyang City, so Cao Yue'e was able to distinguish the two sisters of the Ning family very well, but she didn't know that the concubine and concubine were dropped out.

Seeing the way Cao Yue'e looked at her now, with hesitation and contempt at the same time, Ning Wanzhu sighed in her heart.In her previous life, she had never felt that the distinction between concubine and concubine was so obvious.In her previous life, she was the eldest daughter of the first wife. Although her biological mother died young, it did not prevent her from communicating with the first daughters of various high-ranking families.But in this life, as soon as my status is lowered, the situation will be different. Thinking about Cao Yue'e, since she is a concubine's daughter, she is not very willing to associate with her, the second Miss Ning, who bears the title of "concubine daughter"!
However, although Cao Yue'e looked down on Ning Wanzhu, she still managed to maintain the etiquette of the young lady, and was quite curious about this "concubine" who lived alone in Zhuangzi, so she couldn't help stealing a look at her.

Ning Wanzhu smiled lightly, and didn't force herself, she just sent Mo Mei and Mo Lan to entertain Cao Yue'e with refreshments.Cao Yue'e saw that Ning Wanzhu Luoluo was generous, and her gestures and gestures showed a bit of elegance, but she slowly put away her underestimation.The two little girls were sitting at the table, having refreshments, and slowly began to chat.

Ning Wanzhu talked about the beautiful autumn scenery she saw on the hilltop outside Dujia Village the day before yesterday, and it sounded to Cao Yue'e's ears as if she had really seen this scene in front of her eyes.Cao Yue'e was overjoyed when she heard it, and suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Okay! That's great! In two days, I will go to see this scene with my brother, Big Sister Ning..."

Cao Yuee made a slip of the tongue for a moment, and after she had said it, she changed her words embarrassingly, and said with some reluctance: "Ning Er... sister!"

But Ning Wanzhu didn't care, smiled lightly, and said, "Two days later, when it's a bit colder, the red leaves all over the mountains and plains will be beautiful, isn't it?"

After hearing this, Cao Yue'e became even more fond of Ning Wanzhu.After she left, Ning Wanzhu sent her to the outer courtyard.I saw an eleven or twelve-year-old boy in the outer courtyard, drinking tea, waiting for Cao Yue'e to come out.Ning Wanzhu recognized that this was the young master of the Cao family, named Cao Shijun.She did know that the young master of the Cao family studied too hard, ruined his eyes, and lost his official career ever since.

Thinking of this, Ning Wanzhu greeted Cao Shijun generously, calling him Mr. Cao.When sending the two Cao brothers and sisters out of Ningjiazhuangzi, Ning Wanzhu couldn't help saying to Cao Shijun: "Mr. Cao, if your eyes are sore when you are studying, you might as well often look up into the distance. My mother said it's best for eyesight."

Cao Shijun couldn't help being taken aback, thinking how this little girl would know that his eyes often feel sore when he reads.
