Mu Ning Jing covered Nanny Zhang's mouth in a hurry and made a shushing gesture. "Nanny Zhang, don't laugh so loudly."
Nanny Zhang was even more amused when she saw Mu Ning Jing being so careful. However, she still nodded at Mu Ning Jing to show that she understood. She tried hard to hold back her laughter until tears came out. After a while, she calmed herself down. "Ningning, that's not what I meant when I said I was jealous."
"Then what did you mean?" Mu Ning Jing asked in confusion.
Nanny Zhang asked, "What did you call 9th Master?"
"Dad." She didn't feel awkward calling him that anymore, but Mu Ning Jing still felt a little embarrassed when Nanny Zhang asked her specifically.
"Then what did you call Madam?"
"Auntie …" Mu Ning Jing seemed to have realized something. After being stunned for a few seconds, she looked at Nanny Zhang in disbelief. "You mean Auntie wants me to change the way I address her?"
Nanny Zhang nodded with an expression that said, "You finally understand."
Mu Ning Jing recalled the scene at the dining table just now. It seemed to be true. Joy came from her heart and a smile appeared on her face. She was overjoyed and held Nanny Zhang's hand helplessly. "Then … then what should I do?"
"Of course you have to change the way you address her." Nanny Zhang knew that it would be embarrassing to change the way she addressed her. She pointed at the cupboard. "Madam likes to drink chrysanthemum tea. Make her a cup and send it up …"
Nanny Zhang paused and smiled at Mu Ning Jing. "You know what I mean."
Mu Ning Jing nodded obediently. "Okay."
"I'll make some fresh dishes for Madam. You can ask her to come down and eat later."
"Okay."
Five minutes later, Mu Ning Jing came out of the kitchen with tea. Shen Tingxi got up from the sofa. "Why are you making tea for me? I don't drink tea. Let's go out for a walk. "
Mu Ning Jing smiled. "It's not for you. It's for …" She swallowed the word 'auntie' and said, "Mom."
Shen Tingxi naturally heard Mu Ning Jing say the word "Mom" unnaturally. He asked with some joy, "Ningning, what did you say?"
Mu Ning Jing walked over and told Shen Tingxi what Nanny Zhang had said. Of course, she skipped the part where she had misunderstood. She didn't want to leave a bad impression on Shen Tingxi. "… You go for a walk. I'll go check on Mom."
Shen Tingxi's deep eyes glistened. He really wanted to pull Mu Ning Jing into his arms and kiss her, but she was holding a cup of tea in her hand. Shen Tingxi was afraid that she would be scalded. He had no choice but to scratch the tip of her little nose. "Mom and Dad, you're really mine from now on. That's great."
Mu Ning Jing blushed when she heard the words' mine '. His gaze was so intense that she couldn't bear it. She turned around and walked upstairs. "I'll go up first."
Shen Tingxi watched his little wife's slender figure disappear at the entrance of the stairs. Only then did he retract his intense gaze. When Ningning's injuries were completely healed, they would have sex and Ningning would give birth to a few more children for him. Then, his life would be complete.
With this thought in mind, Shen Tingxi's blood began to boil. He strode toward the door. Why was it so hot today? He had to go out for a walk to cool down.
…
Mu Ning Jing arrived at the door of Ju Qiulan's bedroom. She clenched her fists nervously before knocking on the door.
"Nanny Zhang, I really don't want to eat." Ju Qiulan's slightly irritated voice came from inside the room.
Mu Ning Jing pursed her lips and said through the door, "It's me."
The room was silent for two seconds before someone said, "Come in."
Mu Ning Jing pushed the door open and saw Ju Qiulan sitting on the sofa reading a magazine. When she entered, Ju Qiulan didn't look in her direction.
Mu Ning Jing took deep breaths to calm her nerves as she walked. When she reached the sofa, she didn't put the tea on the coffee table directly. Instead, she bent over slightly and handed the tea to Ju Qiulan. "Mom, have some tea," she said softly.
Ju Qiulan's gaze froze. She subconsciously tightened her grip on the book she was holding. She suppressed the excitement in her heart and turned to look at Mu Ning Jing, pretending to be calm. "What did you call me?"
Mu Ning Jing maintained her slightly bent posture and didn't move. She said softly, "Mom."
Ju Qiulan still pretended to be calm, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes. Her mood instantly improved. She took the tea from Mu Ning Jing's hand. "Why are you the one who brought this up? Where's Nanny Zhang?"
Mu Ning Jing didn't answer. Instead, she asked, "Mom, can I sit?"
Ju Qiulan was overjoyed to hear her call her "Mom." Although she still tried to hide it, her actions were swift. She moved to the side and said, "Sit."
Mu Ning Jing sat down beside Ju Qiulan and habitually crossed her hands on her stomach. "Nanny Zhang saw that you didn't eat much. I'm afraid the food is not to your liking. She's cooking for you again. Why don't you go down and eat some more later?"
Ju Qiulan's mood improved. Only then did she feel that her stomach was empty. Since her daughter-in-law had called her "Mom," she didn't have to make things difficult for her stomach. However, if she directly said that she wanted to eat, it would seem too fake. She thought for a moment and said, "Nanny Zhang is really something. I already said that I don't have an appetite. Why is she still working so hard? Forget it.
I'll go down and eat. "Mu Ning Jing nodded and looked at Ju Qiulan sincerely." Mom, thank you and Dad for accepting me. I've already lost my parents. From now on, you're my parents. You're my dearest family. "
Mu Ning Jing suddenly confessed her feelings. Ju Qiulan felt a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and took a sip of the tea. She felt that the chrysanthemum tea today was especially fragrant. It tasted much better than before. "From now on, this will be your home. Don't be too weak. No matter who bullies you, don't hold it in. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Don't be afraid. We'll support you."
Home. What a precious word. She could finally have it. Moreover, it was such a warm home. A home where her husband and parents-in-law all liked her.
Mu Ning Jing's nose tingled and her eyes became hot. However, she tried her best to hold back her tears. Ju Qiulan said that she didn't like crying women. "Okay."
…
The next morning, Mu Ning Jing came down from the second floor. She was surprised to see Shen Jiuyan and Ju Qiulan sitting on the sofa in the living room. Shen Jiuyan should be out doing morning exercises at this time. Ju Qiulan shouldn't have woken up yet. What happened today? Did something happen?
Mu Ning Jing remembered that she didn't see Shen Tingxi when she woke up this morning. She couldn't help but feel nervous. She went downstairs and greeted them. "Good morning, Dad, Mom."
Shen Jiuyan nodded at Mu Ning Jing. She didn't say anything and continued reading the newspaper.
Ju Qiulan waved at Mu Ning Jing. "Nanny Zhang is still preparing breakfast. Come and sit."
Mu Ning Jing walked over and sat down beside Ju Qiulan. She asked anxiously, "Mom, do you know where Tingxi went?"
Ju Qiulan said unhappily, "That old man Tan Fangshuo is dishonest. He secretly instigated everyone to cause trouble. Tingxi went to deal with it."
Tan Fangshuo was a sly old fox. Mu Ning Jing couldn't help but worry. "He won't be in danger, right?"
"Tingxi's power in Fan City is unrivaled. Don't worry about that," Shen Jiuyan said.
Mu Ning Jing nodded and relaxed.
Ju Qiulan looked at Mu Ning Jing seriously. "Your father and I have something to discuss with you."
