Nanny Zhang quickly gave her a way out. "Madam, don't you think so?"
Ju Qiulan cleared her throat awkwardly and avoided Mu Ning Jing's gaze. She pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Mm."
Nanny Zhang was afraid that Mu Ning Jing would not agree, so she held her hand and said gently, "People always say that old people are like children when they get older. They have bad tempers. You are young after all, so you should be more understanding. Your relationship with Young Master is better than anything else."
Ju Qiulan frowned. "…" Nanny Zhang, who are you calling old? Who are you calling a child? Who are you calling bad-tempered? You better explain yourself!
"I know. I'll go to Qin Garden and pack some clothes. I'll wait here for Tingxi's news."
Mu Ning Jing's words made Ju Qiulan's anger subside. Fine, fine. I'll let you slander me this time for my son's sake.
Ju Qiulan and Mu Ning Jing's relationship was getting better and better, but on the third day, their relationship became strained again.
Today was the day of Mu Yiqing's funeral. Mu Yiqing was the mayor of Fan City, so his funeral was naturally grand and dignified. It was also reported on the news. Mu Ning Jing saw the news and wanted to send her father, who had never raised her, off for the last time.
These two days, Mu Ning Jing thought about Nanny Zhang's words many times. She increasingly felt that Nanny Zhang's words made sense. She could only let herself go if she forgave others.
Sending Mu Yiqing off for the last time could also be considered as an explanation for their relationship. In terms of etiquette, it was proper for a daughter to send her father off. She hoped that Mu Yiqing would understand her feelings in the underworld. If he could rest in peace, she would have no regrets.
But when Mu Ning Jing said that she wanted to attend Mu Yiqing's funeral, Ju Qiulan firmly objected. "You're not allowed to go. Hasn't the Yu family hurt Xi 'er enough? Xi 'er is still inside. What do you mean by going to Mu Yiqing's funeral? Do you still have Xi 'er in your heart? He is our Shen family's enemy. Are you trying to change sides? "
Mu Ning Jing explained softly, "Auntie, he is my father after all …"
"Father? Did he raise you or teach you? Have you forgotten how the Yu Family treated you when you went to the hospital to see him before he died? Don't think too highly of yourself. No one cares about your meager feelings. "Ju Qiulan's temper flared. She spoke without thinking and was full of hostility.
Nanny Zhang was anxious at the side. It wasn't easy for them to ease their relationship. "Madam …"
"Nanny Zhang, don't say anything." Ju Qiulan interrupted Nanny Zhang. She looked at Mu Ning Jing and continued, "Today, I've made my stance clear. If you attend Mu Yiqing's funeral, you'll be seeking refuge with the Yu family. From now on, you and Xi 'er will be enemies. You'll have nothing to do with each other. Think carefully."
Mu Ning Jing's clear eyes were tinged with hurt and helplessness. She stared at Ju Qiulan for a long while before finally saying softly, "Auntie, I don't plan on giving up on Tingxi, nor do I have any intention of seeking refuge with the Yu family. But I don't want to leave behind any regrets. I hope you can understand."
After saying this, Mu Ning Jing didn't look at Ju Qiulan's expression again. She turned and walked towards the door.
Ju Qiulan was so angry that her face turned green. She pointed at Mu Ning Jing's thin back and said, "Fine, you've got guts. Don't come back after leaving. From now on, the Shen family …"
"Madam." Nanny Zhang interrupted Ju Qiulan in time, afraid that she would say something irreversible. "Calm down. Come, sit down first."
"Nanny Zhang, look, look. Haven't I treated her well enough these past two days?"
Nanny Zhang helped Ju Qiulan sit down on the sofa. She glanced at the door and saw that Mu Ning Jing was no longer there. She then said, "Yes, yes, yes. You treated her very well. She didn't know what was good for her."
Hearing Nanny Zhang's words, Ju Qiulan's anger subsided a little. "I put down my pride to ease my relationship with her. The better I treated her, the more superior she became."
"Yes, Madam is right." Nanny Zhang agreed. "She shouldn't have disobeyed you. Even if Young Master insisted on her, she should have considered your feelings. Although Young Master's relationship with you isn't harmonious now, you're still his mother. No matter what, Young Master will still acknowledge you as his biological mother."
Ju Qiulan felt that something was wrong when she heard this. She turned and stared at Nanny Zhang suspiciously for a few seconds. She frowned and said, "Why do I feel that you're not siding with me, but with her?"
Nanny Zhang smiled. Seeing that Ju Qiulan's anger had subsided, she dared to say something. "Madam, it's only right for a daughter to send her father to his funeral …"
"What kind of soup did she feed you? How many days has it been? How can you be so protective of her? "Ju Qiulan interrupted Nanny Zhang unhappily.
Nanny Zhang smiled and shook her head. "Madam, of course I'm protecting you. It's because I'm protecting you that I'm thinking of you. You know Young Master's temper the best. When has he ever cared so much about a girl? For Miss Mu, Young Master gave up all the other girls around him. I think he really likes her and plans to spend the rest of his life with her. Your relationship with Miss Mu is strained now. When Young Master comes out, I'm afraid the relationship between you and your son will be even worse. "
Ju Qiulan thought about how Shen Tingxi hadn't contacted her since the day he moved out. She panicked, but … "Do I have to lower myself in front of her after becoming Xi 'er?"
"Madam, I'm not asking you to lower yourself. I'm just asking you to be considerate of Miss Mu."
"How can I be considerate? Because my Xi 'er is still in the Yu family. The Yu family and I are irreconcilable. "
"Yes, yes, yes. The Yu family is unforgivable. But Mu Yiqing wasn't involved in this incident …"
"But he's a member of the Yu family." Ju Qiulan interrupted Nanny Zhang coldly.
Nanny Zhang knew that she couldn't persuade her in this direction. After thinking for a while, she changed her direction. "Mu Yiqing has never raised Miss Mu. Miss Mu even has a hard life because of the title of an illegitimate daughter. Madam, you feel that such a father is unforgivable. There's no need to forgive him, right?"
"Of course. If Mu Yiqing had treated her better, I wouldn't have been so heartless to stop her from kissing her own family."
Nanny Zhang smiled. She knew that Madam wasn't such an unreasonable person.
Ju Qiulan frowned and looked at Nanny Zhang. "What are you laughing at?"
Nanny Zhang said, "I'm happy that Madam is kind."
Ju Qiulan glanced at Nanny Zhang. "Are you being sarcastic?"
Nanny Zhang shook her head. "Madam objected to Miss Mu sending Mu Yiqing off for the last time mainly because she felt that it wasn't worth it for Miss Mu. She felt that such a father wasn't worthy of forgiveness. But Madam, have you thought about it? You've done so many things to hurt Miss Mu. If Miss Mu is a vengeful person, do you think Miss Mu will truly forgive you?"
Ju Qiulan was stunned. "Why are you talking about me?" She thought about it and frowned again. "You mean that she hasn't truly forgiven me and is pretending?"
