The three Highnesses left one after another and the commotion at the entrance of the Duke's Manor finally dissipated and it was quiet again. Ning Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that it was dangerous and had a headache.
She had already said so much, but why was Xiao Yunyi still so stubborn and not letting go of her, this crooked tree? But it was a good thing that the disaster was temporarily solved and she could finally breathe.
Ning Deyuan immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's alright now. Shu 'er, are you shocked? Come, help your mother back to the Manor with Father to rest. "
Ning Shu held her mother's hand affectionately and smiled sweetly at Ning Deyuan. "Shu 'er is innocent, so I'm not afraid. But I've troubled Father and Mother again. Let's go greet Grandmother quickly, lest she worries. "Halfway there, she suddenly thought of something." Eh? We seem to have forgotten something? "
She carefully pondered for a moment and suddenly came to a realization. Then, she turned her head to look at Yang shi and her daughter, who were desperately trying to reduce their presence in the corner. Her pink lips curled up, and her eyes were like water as she smiled sweetly, "Second sister, I almost forgot. There seems to be some debt between us sisters that hasn't been settled, don't you think?"
Ning Wan's face paled immediately.
The three branches of the Duke's Manor were all present in the main hall. The Old Madam was in the first position, followed by Ning Deyuan and the other branches. It was so quiet in the hall that you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone had different thoughts and their expressions were not good, but no one said anything. Only Ning Shu picked up the fresh March fruit that had just been sent up from the farm with a normal expression and carefully peeled the skin for the Old Madam and Princess Hexin to enjoy, smiling faintly.
But the more she was like this, the more uneasy Ning Wan, who was standing beside Madam Yang, was. She held Madam Yang's hand tightly, as if this was the only way she could let Madam Yang keep her safe.
After a short and long silence, Madam Yang secretly took a deep breath. She seemed to have made up her mind, and in an instant, she put on a big smile, walked in front of Ning Shu, and affectionately held her hand.
"Shu 'er, you can't blame your second sister for what happened this morning. It was all because of that traitorous Wang Erniang! Your second sister was also deceived. She didn't really want to harm you. You mustn't misunderstand. When First Auntie brings that Wang Erniang back, I will definitely teach her a lesson to appease your anger. "
Her words and gestures were full of indignation for Ning Shu, as if she could not wait to give Wang Erniang a hundred beatings on the spot.
She was good at acting, and Ning Shu was even better at it. Ning Shu tilted her head slightly and asked suspiciously, "Eldest Aunt, what are you talking about? How could I misunderstand Second Sister?" Then she glanced at Forsythia.
Forsythia immediately repeated what Ning Wan had said in front of everyone this morning without missing a single word, "I heard from the old woman that she seemed to have seen Eldest Sister quietly changing and leaving through the small door. When she walked out, she vaguely said something like, 'It's all Young Master Yun's fault for ruining her reputation. I must make him pay with his life …' When I heard it, I was shocked and quickly begged the old woman not to spread the news …"
When she heard her seemingly "righteous words" but in fact "evil intentions", Ning Wan lowered her face in embarrassment. She didn't dare to face the different gazes of the crowd and clenched her nails so hard that they were about to break.
Ning Shu's eyes shifted and she rebuked Madam Yang, "Elders, listen to me. Second Sister defended me so much and helped me beg Wang Erniang not to spread the news. I can't thank her enough, let alone blame her. First Auntie, you have misunderstood Shu 'er. "
"Heh, heh heh," Madam Yang used all her strength to maintain the fake smile on her face, "Yes, yes, yes. Our Shu 'er has been intelligent and magnanimous since young. How could Wang Erniang sow discord in your sisterly relationship? First Auntie has misunderstood you. First Auntie apologizes to you. "
The last sentence made her heart bleed. However, their vicious plan had failed and they had been exposed. No matter how much resentment she had in her heart, she had to swallow it into her stomach. Even if she had to throw away her old face, she had to protect her precious daughter today!
