Madam Wang didn't know. Hearing her words, Dongfang Ning's mindset of using force to resolve everything rose again.
"Her aunt's actions were wrong. This kind of thing should have been done …"
"Is there any elders in this world who are in the wrong? "That's right!"
"…"
"If you ask your mother to keep her, your mother won't object, but what if her aunt curses at you and comes at us? If you do, we'll fight you out. What will the people of the world say about you …"
Was it a matter of reputation?
"Now, let her leave first. Ask her what happened yesterday and if there are any difficulties, help her solve them. Then, everything will be fine. Remember what can be helped and do what you can …"
Madam Wang saw the displeasure on Dongfang Ning's face, so how could she not know what she was thinking? However, with regards to other people's affairs, you can't possibly interfere in a matter that isn't comfortable, right?
Which princess wasn't aloof and condescending to others? That was the only way to have such a noble aura … No, no matter what her daughter did, she always spoke with dignity.
"Alright, alright. Mother will go and persuade her to stay in Princess Mansion. Is this enough?" Seeing that Dongfang Ning's face was still filled with dissatisfaction, Madam Wang surrendered. This daughter had always been obedient, so what was wrong with her today?
Dongfang Ning's thoughts had already flown away. She thought to herself: When you were on the mountain, my eldest sister-in-law would always hit you. When you hit us two sisters, would you only cry?
It was basically too difficult to solve these kinds of situations. With so many people coming in this way, what could she do? Her mind was in a mess, and she did not know what she was thinking.
Liu Sisi naturally wouldn't stay behind. She was worried about her mother, so she got up early to wait for Dongfang Ning. After Madam Wang came over, she politely bowed to pay her respects, but didn't talk about her current situation.
This is a ambitious girl, what a pity …
Madam Wang heaved a deep sigh. In this world, unfair things were common. Although her family could save one or two people, they couldn't possibly save the rest of the world. Ning'er was still too young.
"There's no need to thank me. You're about the same age as Ning'er. If you don't mind, come visit often …"
"Thank you for your kindness, aunt. Sisi will come often to visit us in the future."
"You really are a good woman who understands. Remember to come often, Ning'er will come as soon as you wait. Have a chat with her, this child has been sick since childhood and doesn't have many companions, so she's alone. You have to teach her some manners, so that no one will worry about you all day."
Madam Wang liked this kind of obedient people. She pulled Liu Sisi along as they sat down to chat. Liu Sisi's heart wasn't here, but it wasn't good to just leave like this. Thus, Madam Wang and the others chatted for a while.
Luckily, Dongfang Ning arrived quickly. Liu Sisi hurriedly stood up and bowed to her.
"We greet the princess!"
"Liu Sisi, don't be like the others. Just bow when you see me. We're friends. We have to face each other on equal footing!"
"Yes!" "Last night, it was all thanks to the princess …"
Sigh, making the ancients not be courteous was clearly a failure. Dongfang Ning interrupted her once again. "Why are you looking for that Xiao Yongguang? Tell me, maybe I can help you."
He directly told her the reason for his visit. It felt so good, why did her mother not mention it after chatting for so long.
Soon after, she knew why Madam Wang didn't mention it. Dongfang Ning was probably the only one who wouldn't mind tearing open her scar.
Hearing Dongfang Ning's words, Liu Sisi's eyes reddened, and tears started streaming down her face. "Ai, women are made of water, could this be what I'm referring to?"
"Will crying solve the problem? I'll only give you one chance. If you don't tell me why you're looking for him, then I won't care about you in the future."
"Ning'er, sit down first. We can discuss this later."
Madam Wang didn't know what to do with her daughter when she saw her like this. There were some things that needed to be done slowly, otherwise it would easily hurt the others' self-esteem.
"Miss Liu, Ning'er is straightforward. I heard that you were waiting for someone in the rain last night. If there's anything important, you should come out soon. You'll feel better then. Come sit down and drink some tea!"
Dongfang Ning didn't understand. When she was with Wei Qingxian and Zuo Qingqing, she always said whatever she wanted to say … No, that wasn't right. That time, Zuo Qingqing didn't seem to be willing to talk about her.
Of course she didn't know that this was called being ugly in one's own family. No matter how bad one's family life was, it was still a matter of her own family. If others were to find out, then her family would lose face.
Unless it was someone as shameless as Madam Yang, who would go around complaining to everyone regardless of the cost. She wanted to make everyone in the world pity her, pity her, and get some sympathy from her, some benefits from that.
Liu Sisi wasn't the type to complain about her hardships. No matter what, her family used to be an official's home, but Dongfang Ning was right. They only had one chance. If he really needed Princess Anning's help this time, he could do whatever she wanted in the future.
"Five years ago, when the border was in chaos, my father was ordered to escort the food to the western counties. Who would have thought that they would be robbed along the way by bandits, and those who went there were all killed.
"Because my father had no martial arts, he was first knocked unconscious by the thieves, and then crushed by a pile of corpses before he was able to escape. Who knew that on his return to the capital, someone would accuse him of embezzling the grain and say that he was unable to make a fortune …"
"Your Majesty is righteous and benevolent. It is possible to do such a thing in this chaotic world, making people investigate in detail … I didn't know where Xiao Yongguang took over the case, but he found evidence from somewhere that my father was greedy for the grain. I just wanted to get from him that the Emperor didn't take over the family's property, and said that the documents the house had left for my mother so that my aunt wouldn't kick my mother out of the house. "That's our home, wuu …"
Liu Sisi told an incomplete story, and she had long since sobbed. Her father was gone, and now she didn't even have a place to stay anymore.
Who said that this encounter was different from his?
The more Dongfang Ning heard, the more unhappy she became. Last winter, her father hadn't come back after he went up the mountain, and the days that followed were all taken away by his aunt. She didn't even give him any food, but luckily her mother was sick.
Perhaps this identity was due to the sadness of her soul. In short, Dongfang Ning felt a kind of resonance, a resonance with the experiences of Liu Sisi.
"Your life, I've experienced it."
A few words unwittingly came out from Dongfang Ning's mouth.
"This humble girl deserves to die!" The princess has a body of ten thousand gold, how could she suffer like this? It was my daughter who did not understand and made the princess feel bad, please punish her! "
When Liu Sisi heard Dongfang Ning's words, she was so scared that she immediately kneeled to the ground. Let alone the princess, even if she had suffered before, she had to make it a secret. Now that she knew the princess' secret, she wouldn't kill her to keep it a secret.
