Jing Xingzhi’s Daily Life in Ancient Times - Chapter 76
Fang Qichen received a letter from Marquis Zhenyuan, Ning Haibo.
Wu Shuangxi in the capital was also anxiously waiting for Ning Haibo’s letter.
Marquis Zhenyuan’s Mansion.
In the luxurious and majestic main courtyard.
Wu Shuangxi was like an ant on a hot pot. She couldn’t help but walk around the room with anxiety and restlessness.
Standing on one side was Xing Niang, whose cheeks were slightly red and swollen.
Wu Dinong was still in prison in Hanbei Prefecture. Xing Niang returned to the capital alone and waited by Wu Shuangxi’s side, hoping that the madam, Wu Shuangxi, could use her power to get Wu Dinong out.
Wu Shuangxi walked around the room several times and noticed Xing Niang. She raised her eyebrows and said with a cold expression: “Xing Niang, you are also an old servant next to me. But that husband of yours is so stupid that I can’t help it!”
Xing Niang banged and knelt down on the ground, crying and begging: “Madam, it’s all my fault, but he was also doing things for Madam, and he got caught…”
Wu Shuangxi heard these words of begging for mercy, she closed her eyes, anger surging in her heart.
Wu Shuangxi had been dissatisfied since Xing Niang came back. When Xing Niang came back, her face was swollen, which meant she was punishing herself for not doing things well. Xing Niang knew her temper, and if she punished herself, Wu Shuangxi would not be harsh for the sake of her own virtuous reputation.
But a swollen face could offset the tremendous trouble she had caused? Of course not!
Wu Shuangxi was afraid when she thought this time things would get exposed in front of Ning Haibo. That damn Shen Fang of the Hanbei Prefecture did not give her any face, and had to expose the matter to Ning Haibo!
Once Ning Haibo asked and saw Jing Xingzhi’s portrait, he would definitely know that Jing Xingzhi was related to her. Upon further inspection, everything was clear.
She didn’t care if her son was her biological son, but would Ning Haibo care?
Although Ning Haibo didn’t pay much attention to Ning Yongyuan, he still asked about him every now and then, which showed that Ning Haibo still cared about his son.
If Ning Haibo attached great importance to the pure bloodline, then his affection for her would be greatly reduced, and those moths in the backyard would definitely jumping around again…
And after Ning Haibo knew the truth, then there was no need for her to defend Xing Niang, she could even shirk that Xing Niang was coaxing her. Thus, she changed the baby.
Anyway, in general, Xing Niang could only take the blame for Wu Shuangxi. Thousands of thoughts flashed through Wu Shuangxi’s heart, and in the end, they all turned into impatience for Xing Niang.
She opened her eyes suddenly and waved her hand coldly: “Forget it. You go down first and wait until the Marquis’s reply comes. ”
Wu Shuangxi meant to delay, but Xing Niang thought Wu Dinong still had hope to come out, so she kowtowed to Wu Shuangxi gratefully, until her forehead all swollen, then her eyes turned red and she hid hope in her heart.
.
As soon as Xing Niang was punished and sent away, the housekeeper in the mansion delivered an urgent letter to Wu Shuangxi.
With a tearing sound, the envelope was roughly torn open.
Wu Shuangxi opened the tormented letter with trembling hands, feeling flustered and frightened, but still looking at the lines of words on the letter with a hint of hope.
Ning Haibo’s letter first rebuked Wu Shuangxi, scolding her for letting her servants lose their biological son, which was too much!
But as soon as the conversation changed, Wu Shuangxi was asked to explain clearly why she acted in this way?
The letter also asked, Wu Shuangxi treated Ning Yongyuan so favorably, why did she treat her own son in such a bad way?
Finally, he called an end to Wu Shuangxi’s attempt to harm Jing Xingzhi, saying if Wu Shuangxi was still confused, she would not be spared!
The two had been married for more than twenty years, and Wu Shuangxi knew Ning Haibo very well, but what Ning Haibo knew of his wife was the side of Wu Shuangxi that she was willing to let him see. Wu Shuangxi’s years of painstaking efforts to maintain her image finally paid off.
Yes! She was so kind to Ning Yongyuan, she was a loving mother.
As for why she lost her own son, of course, it was not her fault!
At that time, Wu Shuangxi replaced her own son with a fake one because the child was weak, and she was afraid she would not be able to consolidate her position without a healthy son. The second reason was she was afraid that after the child died, Ning Haibo’s cousin would become more powerful in their backyard.
In the end, Wu Shuangxi was cruel and relied on a healthy child to stabilize her position in the Marquis Zhenyuan’s Mansion, and tortured Ning Haibo’s cousin to death, turning the childhood sweetheart into a pile of ashes. After careful calculation, Wu Shuangxi had no regrets and no disadvantages.
But she couldn’t say that, she had to shirk it in front of Ning Haibo…
How to shirk it? Wu Shuangxi thought of those frail ladies who died giving birth to children, and an idea came to her mind – women who almost died giving birth to children hate their children, right?
She was weak when she gave birth and took several months to recuperate. She used the excuse that giving birth was too uncomfortable, and Ning Haibo would definitely believe her.
Wu Shuangxi got Ning Haibo’s reply and could finally sit down peacefully. Because of Ning Haibo’s attitude and unconscious defense of her, this man still believed in her.
She sat on the chair and slapped the armrest of the chair with her left hand, which was when she was thinking.
Besides appeasing Ning Haibo, what else should be done?
Wu Shuangxi thought deeply and included in her plan to coax her “weak son” back. Ning Haibo’s letter showed that he didn’t care too much about the lost son, but he also warned Wu Shuangxi not to be confused anymore, which showed in Ning Haibo’s heart the lost son had a certain weight but not too much.
Based on Wu Shuangxi’s understanding of Ning Haibo, Ning Haibo would wait until he was done with his work and take the child home. By then, her status would continue to increase.
Being able to coax the “weak son” to her side would definitely be of substantial help in making up for her mistakes in Ning Haibo’s heart.
That night, the wife of Marquis Zhenyuan fell ill, and she became very ill until her face instantly became haggard.
The next day, the housekeeper sent Madam Ning’s reply letter back to the Marquis. The other letters attached at the same time also described in detail what happened in the Marqius Mansion recently, including the madam’s sudden serious illness.
.
The letter was sent from the capital to where Ning Haibo led his troops, and then went around until arrived in Ning Haibo’s hands.
So, the messengers in the military camp became busy again, he went to deliver letters to the capital, and delivered another letters and things to Jiangnan.
Ning Haibo received Wu Shuangxi’s letter, read it, and believed it. Naturally, he also wanted to explain something about his wife in front of his lost son.
[Son, your mother doesn’t really want to throw you away, you have to trust her!]
[Son, your mother doesn’t really want your life. She just wants to stop you from going to the capital. She was afraid that I would find out about her past mistakes and she was confused for a moment.]
As for Ning Haibo, it was a critical time for him to get promotion, more important than giving birth to a child, so of course he couldn’t leave the military camp.
The letters arrived in the capital first, and then arrived at Hanbei Prefecture in a hurry.
.
Jing Xingzhi opened the envelope and muttered dissatisfiedly to Liu Fang: “I hate their whole family, including the letter.”
“Then… don’t you want to read it? “Liu Fang suggested while cracking melon seeds.
Jing Xingzhi shook his head: “No, I have to see it. Know your enemy better than your friend. It will be easier to take revenge later on.”
Jing Xingzhi held grudges and was also petty. Ning Haibo, who had not been involved for the time being, was fine, but he would not let go of Wu Shuangxi, who almost harmed Liu Fang and the baby.
Jing Xing wouldn’t hit women, but those who offend him could be killed.
After opening this second letter from Ning Haibo, Jing Xingzhi took out two pieces of paper from the envelope.
There was writing on one of them, and Jing Xingzhi looked at it twice and wanted to curse.
He looked at the second piece of paper. The second piece of paper was a money order… equivalent to a check. Anyone with the right identity could go to the Royal Bank to withdraw money with this money order.
The face amount on the money order was: one hundred thousand taels.
Jing Xingzhi looked at it twice, casually threw the money order on the table, and threw himself at Liu Fang aggrieved: “Hey, Xiao Fangfang, someone is throwing money to coax me!”
