"Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?”Seeing that Ning Qixing insisted on putting the blame on her, Ning Ruqiu was also furious and retorted rudely.
Ning Qixing became even angrier when he heard Ning Ruqiu's retort. He pointed at Ning Ruqiu with his trembling right hand." You rebellious daughter, how dare you contradict me! You're simply lawless!" Today, I will use the family rules to teach you what filial piety is!”
Ning Ruqiu snorted coldly." Parents must be magnanimous and fair if they want their children to be filial. Shouldn't you reflect on yourself when you accuse me indiscriminately?”
" Good, good, good." Ning Qixing said the word " good " three times in a row. His eyes were full of disgust as he looked at Ning Ruqiu." When I heard the Emperor praise you just now, I really thought that you had changed and become a person. You were no longer the submissive trash from before. I didn't expect you to become such a rebellious daughter. I shouldn't have given birth to you in the first place. You are indeed as cheap as your mother!"”
"Ning Qixing!" Hearing Ning Qixing call her mother cheap, Ning Ruqiu was finally enraged. Her eyes were filled with a strong hostility." I dare you to scold my mother again?"”
" Oh," Ning Qixing sneered." I can't say that. It's your promiscuous mother who gave birth to you, a disobedient daughter. Let me tell you, you'll kneel in front of this gate today. If you don't kneel for three days and three nights, you're not allowed to step into the gate!”
Ning Ruqiu looked coldly at Ning Qixing. After a while, she whispered,"I really didn't expect that the first time we would say such words would be under such circumstances.”
Ning Qixing was stunned. Ning Ruqiu continued,"Ever since I was young, you've never come to Mother's courtyard, never seen me. When I was young, I was insensible and always asked Mother for a father. Mother told me that I didn't have a father, but I didn't believe it. I said that I've seen him before. The one wearing a tall hat and dressed in luxurious clothes was my father, but Mother said no. She said that fathers in this world wouldn't be so cruel as to not look at their own daughter for more than ten years, nor would they be so cruel as to accuse their daughter's mother without distinguishing right from wrong!”
Ning Ruqiu let out a long sigh and looked at Ning Qixing with no emotion in her eyes. The complaint just now belonged to the original owner. Now, she would deal with this matter fairly as a stranger.
"Father, I'll call you father for the time being. It's not to ask for fatherly love from you, but to avenge my mother! Back then, you said that my mother was a promiscuous woman and placed her under house arrest in Worry Yard. For more than ten years, you never took a step into Worry Yard. You didn't even come to see me when I was born. Then, do you have evidence to prove that my mother did something wrong to you? An adulterer? Or a token of adultery? What do you have?"
Ning Qixing's face was livid. He had said something like this out of anger, and now Ning Ruqiu was telling it in public. It was undoubtedly embarrassing." Ning Ruqiu, what right do you, a junior, have to interfere in the matters of the elders?" You're just a girl, yet you dare to say such things about an adulterer. Don't you have any shame?”
Ning Ruqiu's lips curled up in disdain." Minister Ning, you just think that I'm embarrassing you by being so blunt. It doesn't matter. I won't call you father. Minister Ning, my mother died unjustly. Now, only I know the truth. If I don't avenge her, no one will ever know about her injustice. So Minister Ning, what I'm doing should be reasonable!”
Ning Qixing snorted coldly, flung his sleeves, and walked toward the door of the Minister's Mansion." Shameless and disrespectful! If you want to spout nonsense here, don't enter my house. I can't afford to lose face!”
"It's okay. If you're unwilling, we can settle it ourselves. I can still report it to the authorities! Please investigate!" Ning Ruqiu's expression was indifferent, but her words did not yield.
"Then you can report it! Don't think that I'm afraid of you!" Ning Qixing's eyes widened in anger, and he even directly addressed himself as his official.
Ning Ruqiu raised her eyebrows and suddenly changed the topic.""Ning Yinxue said it, right?"
Ning Qixing's footsteps halted and he frowned." What?”
"Ning Yinxue was the one who told me that I was divorced by Prince Ye, right?”Ning Ruqiu continued to speak, but there wasn't a hint of coyness in her words.
Ning Qixing's expression was very ugly." Isn't that the truth?”
Ning Ruqiu took two steps forward and nodded." Yes, it's the truth. But why did you only listen to Ning Yinxue's one-sided story and not ask if it was Prince Ye who divorced me or if I didn't like him?”
Ning Qixing was so angry that he laughed. He looked at Ning Ruqiu with disdain." Are you daydreaming?" Who do you think you are? A mere daughter of a concubine, you still dare to look down on Prince Chaoye?”
Ning Ruqiu stood rooted to the ground and looked at Ning Qixing with an emotionless gaze." You can say whatever you want, but you should know very well that the Emperor summoned me today. You should know that I saved the Emperor's life."”
Ning Qixing stroked his beard and said," Yes, I know about it, but so what? Do you think you can be unscrupulous just because of this?"”
" Of course not." Ning Ruqiu calmly shook her head." I just want you to know something more clearly."”
Ning Ruqiu took two more steps forward before continuing,""I don't know how Ning Yinxue smeared my name, but I can tell you clearly that the Emperor is going to make me Prince Ye's concubine today, and I will receive the title of a second rank imperial concubine. This matter is being carried out by the current General Bai Sheng, Lan Mo, and the Sixth Prince, Si Hengqing. I don't have to and can't lie. Minister Ning, I really can't think of a second reason why you despise me so much, other than the fact that I was divorced by Prince Ye. But do you think that the emperor would confer a title to such an unbearable woman? Even if this woman saved his life, he could have thousands of ways to reward her. There's no need to sacrifice his son's happiness. What do you think?”
Ning Qixing's brows twitched. After a long while, he said,"Then why are you here?"
The corners of Ning Ruqiu's lips curled up slightly." I've already made myself very clear about the reasons I'm here. Firstly, I rejected the Emperor's bestowment. Secondly, I want to seek justice for my mother!”
Ning Qixing stroked his beard as if he was considering the truth of Ning Ruqiu's words. After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh and said,""Come in and talk." As he spoke, he took the lead and walked into the Minister's Residence.
Ning Ruqiu heaved a sigh of relief. She did not miss the Minister's residence, but she was also unwilling to fall out with Ning Qixing before she could avenge her mother. It was naturally best to have such a buffer. As for the fact that she could enter openly because of Si Tingye, it was completely out of her consideration.
"Ning Ruqiu, why are you here?”Ning Ruqiu had only taken a few steps into the Minister's Residence when she bumped into Ning Yinxue.
Ning Ruqiu raised her eyebrows." Why can't I be here?"”
Ning Yinxue snorted coldly and did not look at Ning Ruqiu anymore. Instead, she looked at Ning Qixing and said,""Father, why did you let this b * tch enter our house? Aren't you afraid that she will bring bad luck to our family?”
Ning Qixing's expression was rather ugly." Xue 'er, tell Father. Why do you think Prince Ye divorced Ning Ruqiu?”
Ning Yinxue was stunned when she heard that. She stole a glance at Ning Ruqiu and saw that the latter's expression was normal and unmoved. She couldn't help but burn with anger."Of course, she's promiscuous, shameless, and seduced a wild man!”
Ning Ruqiu smiled coldly." Ning Yinxue, you have to have evidence. Otherwise, you know the consequences."”Ning Ruqiu said as she glanced at Ning Yinxue.
Ning Yinxue subconsciously took a step back. She looked at Ning Ruqiu with eyes full of shame and anger." I…Of course I have evidence!”
"Take it out and take a look?"
" I…" Ning Yinxue saw Ning Qixing's expressionless face and panicked."Prince Ye divorcing you is the evidence! If you didn't do anything to let him down, why would he abandon you? Besides, your mother is that kind of person. You and your mother are the same, the same…"
"Pa!"
Before Ning Yinxue could finish her sentence, a loud slap was heard. Ning Yinxue covered her swollen left cheek in disbelief, her eyes wide open.
Ning Ruqiu looked at Ning Yinxue coldly." This is the last time I'll hear anyone insult my mother! Next time, I will kill him!"
" You…" Ning Yinxue pointed at Ning Ruqiu." You dare to hit me…" She pounced on Ning Ruqiu as she spoke, completely forgetting how badly she had been beaten by Ning Ruqiu the last time. Now, her mind was filled with the humiliation and anger of being slapped by Ning Ruqiu in front of everyone.
"Enough!" Ning Qixing shouted angrily. Ning Yinxue froze on the spot and looked at Ning Qixing with an aggrieved expression." Father, this bastard hit me and you're not helping me!”
"Xue 'er, watch your words! After all, she was a young lady from a noble family. Why was she speaking so shamelessly?”Ning Qixing's face was ashen. His two daughters had really embarrassed him today!
" Father..." Ning Yinxue looked aggrieved and turned to look at Ning Ruqiu. Her eyes were filled with hatred, but she did not dare to say another word.
"Yo, Lord Ning, you're so mighty, you even dare to hit your daughter! If you're so powerful, why do you only know how to play tricks on our Xue 'er? Why don't you go and slap that bastard?”A strange voice rang out. It was Ning Qixing's First Madam, Ning Yinxue's biological mother, Bai Zhiqing.
"Madam, don't come and cause trouble.”Ning Qixing's eyes flashed with helplessness when he saw Bai Zhiqing, but his voice softened in an instant.
Bai Zhiqing frowned." My Xue 'er has already been beaten up like that. If I don't come out now, who knows how badly my Xue' er will be beaten up by this bastard!”
"Mother!" Seeing Bai Zhiqing, Ning Yinxue immediately cried out in grievance. At the same time, she moved to Bai Zhiqing's side with tears in her eyes." Mother, you must avenge me. Daughter, daughter has been bullied to such a state, sob sob…"
Bai Zhiqing patted Ning Yinxue's head lovingly and said slowly,""Good Xue 'er, mother will definitely teach this little b * tch a lesson for you!”
"Yes!" Ning Yinxue nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with pride as she looked at Ning Ruqiu.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
