"Miss Mu, have some tea."
A voice pulled Mu Ning Jing out of her sorrowful mood. She looked up and saw a woman in her forties or fifties placing a cup of tea on the coffee table. She nodded politely at the woman. "Thank you."
The nanny shook her head and introduced herself. "I'm the nanny here. My surname is Zhang. You can call me Nanny Zhang."
Mu Ning Jing nodded. "Okay."
Nanny Zhang caught a glimpse of a stack of books on the coffee table and smiled. "These are the books that Madam moved down, right?"
Mu Ning Jing was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't pay much attention to it, but there were no books on the coffee table when she came.
Nanny Zhang opened the books one by one and read them. Then, her smile deepened. "Madam deliberately showed them to Miss Mu. If Miss Mu is bored, you can read them to pass the time."
Mu Ning Jing was stunned. Did she deliberately show them to her?
Nanny Zhang saw Mu Ning Jing's reaction and knew that Madam must not have said anything. Madam was the kind of person who wouldn't admit her mistake even if she was wrong. Otherwise, she wouldn't have almost divorced Master Jiu.
Although Madam had lowered her head in front of Master Jiu, Mu Ning Jing was still a junior. With Madam's temper, even if she knew that she was wrong in the past, she wouldn't be able to put down her pride.
Nanny Zhang also knew about the drugging incident last time. Naturally, she also knew about the unfriendly relationship between Mu Ning Jing and Ju Qiulan.
Nanny Zhang thought for a moment and said to Mu Ning Jing, "I've been with Madam for more than ten years. Madam's personality is a little strong, but she's still a good person, especially to Young Master. She dotes on him from the bottom of her heart. Sometimes, Madam does things without thinking about the consequences, but her intentions are good. I hope Miss Mu won't be calculative with Madam for Young Master's sake."
Mu Ning Jing looked up at Auntie Zhang. Auntie Zhang had a gentle smile on her face and said to her, "As a person, you have to look forward. Try to forgive the past as much as possible. When you forgive others, you also let go of yourself. You can only live well if you are open-minded."
Mu Ning Jing had never thought of being calculative with Ju Qiulan. Although Ju Qiulan had gone overboard with her methods, she was also concerned about her son. As for her, even if it was for the sake of Shen Tingxi, she would not harp on the past. It was just that after all, there had been unpleasantness in the past, so it was inevitable that it would be awkward to get along with her. These feelings needed time to dilute.
Nanny Zhang's words of persuasion reminded Mu Ning Jing of Mu Yiqing. Should she forgive him?
If she did not forgive him, she would never be able to let go. Whenever she thought of him, she would only feel pain and sadness.
Perhaps Nanny Zhang was right. While forgiving others, she would also let herself go.
There was no need for her to make her present and future unhappy for the sake of the past.
Mu Ning Jing felt as if she had been enlightened. Previously, her heart felt as if it was stuffed with a ball of soaked cotton. It was heavy and stuffy. Now, the stuffiness in her heart had completely dissipated. "Thank you, Nanny Zhang. I understand."
Nanny Zhang nodded. Her eyes were filled with fondness for Mu Ning Jing. This girl was a smart girl. She understood everything with just a hint. "Oh right, what dishes do you like to eat, Miss Mu? Tell me so that I can prepare them."
Mu Ning Jing replied, "Anything is fine. I'm not picky."
Nanny Zhang's smile deepened. She was polite and simple. She was really a good girl who made people feel comfortable. "Let's not talk about the dishes. Let's talk about the flavors."
Mu Ning Jing knew that it was not appropriate for her to say anything casual. Otherwise, it would seem like she was being perfunctory. She thought for a moment and said, "Something light will be fine."
"Okay, then I'll go back to work. If you have nothing to do, you can read some books." Before Nanny Zhang left, she pointed at the stack of books on the coffee table.
Mu Ning Jing was alone in the living room. She liked the quietness, so she turned off the television. She glanced at the stack of books and casually picked up the topmost book. It was a youth book.
Mu Ning Jing recalled that Nanny Zhang said that Ju Qiulan had deliberately picked these books for her to read. She couldn't help but look at the other books.
How to Make Steel, Sales Techniques, How to Be a Good Woman, Ways to Maintain Health, Pregnant Women's Handbook, Parenting Tips.
The more Mu Ning Jing read, the redder her face became. What did Ju Qiulan mean by letting her read these books?
She hurriedly tidied up the books and picked up the youth book to read.
At first, she just flipped through it casually. As she read, Mu Ning Jing really immersed herself in it. Before she knew it, an hour had passed.
When Ju Qiulan came downstairs, she saw Mu Ning Jing engrossed in the book. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly. If she could read, it meant that she had gotten over her sadness.
When Nanny Zhang called for dinner, Mu Ning Jing realized that Ju Qiulan had come downstairs at some point and was already sitting in the dining room.
Mu Ning Jing hurriedly put down the book and went to the bathroom to wash her hands. She went to the dining room and sat down.
Nanny Zhang also sat down after serving the rice. She even asked Mu Ning Jing to eat more.
At the dining table, Nanny Zhang livened up the atmosphere from time to time. Mu Ning Jing didn't feel so reserved.
However, Ju Qiulan and Mu Ning Jing didn't say a word to each other. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but they didn't know what to say.
In the afternoon, Mu Ning Jing said that she wanted to go back. Ju Qiulan wanted her to stay. Xi 'er hadn't come out yet, and her father had passed away. It was inevitable that she would feel down if she went back alone in an empty house.
However, Ju Qiulan only wanted to stay, but she didn't say it out loud. If Mu Ning Jing rejected her, she would lose face. It would make it seem like she cared about her a lot.
Nanny Zhang glanced at her madam. After spending a long time with her, she more or less knew her temperament. She sighed in her heart. If she wanted to keep her daughter-in-law, just let her stay.
"Miss Mu, are you going back for something?" Nanny Zhang asked Mu Ning Jing.
Mu Ning Jing shook her head. She just didn't want to cause trouble for Ju Qiulan. Moreover, it was quite awkward for her to get along with Ju Qiulan.
Nanny Zhang said, "Since you're free, you can stay here. When Young Master comes back and finds out that you're staying here, he'll be very happy. If he's happy, he might not be angry with Madam anymore."
Mu Ning Jing knew what Nanny Zhang meant. Because of the drugging and the promise, Shen Tingxi was still angry with Ju Qiulan. After moving out, he hadn't come to visit Ju Qiulan.
Perhaps after Shen Tingxi came out and found out that nothing had happened between her and Yu Anna, he wouldn't be so angry with Ju Qiulan. However, she was afraid that Shen Tingxi would still be angry with Ju Qiulan because of her promise with Ju Qiulan.
After all, because of Ju Qiulan, he had been rejected three times. Because of this promise, there hadn't been any progress in their relationship for more than half a year. From time to time, they would have small conflicts and cold wars.
If her relationship with Ju Qiulan improved, Shen Tingxi would definitely be able to let go of it.
She didn't want Shen Tingxi and Ju Qiulan to be at odds with each other because of her. She longed for a family. She longed for a warm and harmonious family. This was something that she had never had since she was born.
With this thought in mind, Mu Ning Jing looked at Ju Qiulan. She wanted to see Ju Qiulan's attitude. Otherwise, it would be useless for her to be passionate like before.
