Chapter 339 I love you, so what!
This old lady was the one who wanted to marry her niece to Ning Yuanze as his wife. The mother and daughter were her brother's wife and niece. The three of them were sitting in the hall. The old lady kept opening and closing her mouth. The mother and daughter were secretly looking at the layout of the Ning Mansion, and satisfaction flashed in their eyes.
I don’t know what Ning Yuanze said, but the old lady and the mother and daughter all looked ugly. When the old lady raised her eyes, she just happened to see Ning Zhiyi, who was grinning with his white teeth bared, and felt that the evil fire in her heart had found an object to vent.
He sneered, "A girl should smile without showing her teeth, so as to look like a lady from a noble family. Look at you, you are almost like a street girl, you have no manners!"
"Zhengtang, you were quite capable in the previous dynasty, and your work was generally pleasing to the emperor, but as a grown man, you still don't understand the affairs of the harem. You have raised Zhiyi but she doesn't behave like a lady from a wealthy family at all. You need a good wife to help you now."
No matter what the old lady said before, Ning Yuanze's expression was very calm, and he responded to her moves accordingly. Only now did his expression turn cold and he said in a bad tone:
"Zhiyi is the daughter of a general, so she naturally doesn't need to be as cautious as other ladies. Although she has a lively personality, her words and actions are within the rules of etiquette. Besides, we don't need outsiders to dictate the affairs of our house. Come on, send the guest away!"
"Master, I am your elder, and this is how you treat your elders. Do you even know the rules of etiquette?" The old lady widened her eyes, looking angry.
Ning Zhiyi hadn't had enough fun yet, so he patted Ning Yuanze's arm, signaling him to be patient. "Brother, she's right. We have to understand etiquette. The old man has become confused and muddleheaded, but we are clear-headed. Let's see him off later."
Noticing the evil look in Ning Zhiyi's eyes, Ning Yuanze did not continue to drive her away. Instead, he sat aside with a cold face to support his sister, and left the rest to her to play by herself.
Hearing Ning Zhiyi's words to smooth things over, the old lady thought that her aura had intimidated the little girl, and she felt proud of herself, so she didn't care about Ning Zhiyi calling her a fool.
With her chin raised high, she decided to be nicer to Ning Zhiyi, conquering the smaller one first and then slowly working on the bigger one, with a calculating smile on her face, "Zhiyi, go meet your sister Xinxin. You two girls must have a lot of interesting things to talk about."
Ning Zhiyi sat in her seat drinking tea, not moving at all. With this tone of voice, it would be impossible for her to meet another woman who had nothing to do with her family in her lifetime.
Seeing that Ning Zhiyi did not move, the old lady and the woman named Xinxin's faces froze. The woman in light orange satin gently touched her daughter's hand, motioning her to go up and talk.
Xinxin has a very pointed chin, a bit like the face of a modern snake spirit. Her brows are furrowed, and she looks a bit reluctant. She wants to be a concubine to Ning Zhiyi before she even gets married. Wouldn't she be bullied to death by her after she gets married?
No, I have to establish my authority today!
"Hello, Sister Ning. I'm your sister Xinxin. You can just call me sister." Xinxin walked to Ning Zhiyi. When she got closer, she noticed that Ning Zhiyi was wearing all the most fashionable clothes.
The fabrics on her body, the pearl hairpins, jade pendants, jade beads and even the purse around her waist are all valuable items. If it weren't for the fact that General Ning's Mansion was gradually declining, how could Ning Zhiyi still wear such luxurious clothes!
It seems that what my mother said was right, a lean camel is bigger than a horse!
Once she enters the mansion, she will never continue to indulge Ning Zhiyi. These good things should be hers!
But what she didn't know was that most of these precious fabrics and red hairpin jewelry were gifts from other people, and were not something Ning Zhiyi intended to splurge on herself.
[Host, this woman thinks you are extravagant and wanton, and she wants to use all these good things on herself after she marries into Ning Mansion! ]
Ning Yuanze almost laughed out of anger. It was indeed his fault. He should not have taken into account the feelings of fellow clan members. He should have driven these people out the moment they arrived!
[Damn, this person is so shameless. She's already coveting my stuff before she even gets married into the Ning Mansion. If I really let her marry in, will I have to move out?]
Thinking of this, Ning Zhiyi didn't show any expression.
Xinxin's face fell even more. She pinched her nails and looked at Ning Yuanze pitifully. Her eyes were watery and she looked so pitiful.
The old lady was immediately displeased when she saw Ning Zhiyi was so disrespectful to Xinxin, and spoke up for Xinxin, "Zhiyi, look at your attitude. What you are wearing is too extravagant. It doesn't look like something a little girl should wear. Change it quickly!"
"The pearl hairpin on your head and the jade pendant on your waist are quite suitable for your sister Xinxin's skin color. Why not give them to her?"
Xinxin almost jumped for joy as she was about to get the thing she had set her eyes on. All her jewellery put together was not as valuable as Ning Zhiyi's jade pendant!
This ignorant little girl has almost spent all her money!
Before the old lady came, she had solemnly promised that no matter whether Ning Yuanze agreed or not, she would have a way to make Ning Yuanze accept the marriage, so Xinxin has now put herself in the position of the mistress of the general's mansion.
Thinking of secretly taking a look at the handsome Ning Yuanze, her heart started beating fast and two blushes appeared on her cheeks. She...she liked such a tall and handsome man.
"Oh, you think my stuff matches her skin color. Then I think your heads match the color of my shoes. Do you want to take your heads off and let me kick them like footballs?"
The old lady was angry again, "Master, why don't you take care of this girl? How can a little girl be so spoiled!"
Ning Yuanze raised his eyes and said in a cold tone, "I love her, so what!"
Ning Zhiyi smiled, revealing her signature big white teeth, "Hehe, that's right, my brother loves her, so what?"
"What I wear and use are from the Ning Mansion. It's none of your business. I've never heard of a guest who asks the host for things like a beggar. How can you be so shameless!"
Xinxin's face turned red. This time, it was not because she was embarrassed to see the man she liked, but because she felt her face was being rubbed against the ground and was red.
"A girl like you who is arrogant, extravagant and ignorant of etiquette will never get married. It will be unlucky for any family to marry someone like you!" The old lady was furious and kept spitting out filth as soon as she opened her mouth.
Ning Zhiyi didn't want her brother to interfere in such quarrels. Men have their own political ambitions, so it's better to leave such verbal battles to her!
