"Yes, thank you, Aunt!" After the shock, Ning Xueyan immediately calmed down. The aunt in front of her was a smart person. She probably already suspected her before, so she kept testing her. Ning Xueyan also knew that her overly pale face and weak expression were flaws. It was easy for people to see that there was something wrong with her, a manservant, at a glance.
But she really didn't have anyone she could use. Although the two maids were clever, it was better for her to do this kind of thing herself. She had no choice but to disguise herself as a manservant and cover her tracks with an oversized coat and hat. But if an experienced person saw her at a glance, he would be able to tell that she was a thin and sickly girl.
"Yan 'er, this is your uncle's son. You can call him Brother Hua! Hua 'er, this is your sister Yan. "The madam introduced the two sitting people.
"Sister Yan." The handsome young man woke up from the shock and said to Ning Xueyan coldly. He even curved his lips with a trace of sarcasm and looked her up and down. "Sister Yan's dress is really beautiful. If it wasn't for my sharp eyes, I'm afraid I would have missed you."
Ning Xueyan really didn't know why she provoked this cousin's anger. She raised her beautiful eyes and smiled slightly without any grudge. She called softly, "Brother Yu!"
Ning Xueyan's attitude was so good that Ming Yuan Hua couldn't say anything more. He just snorted coldly and simply turned his head, ignoring Ning Xueyan. He looked very angry. Although he looked one or two years older than Ning Xueyan, he looked more like a child throwing a tantrum. Ning Xueyan couldn't help but laugh.
This cousin really didn't like her! And he showed it so clearly on his face!
"Madam, Young Master, Master is coming, Master is coming!" A few old maids who were guarding the road suddenly shouted excitedly. One of them was shouting and running!
The three people in the pavilion immediately stood up and looked at the road excitedly. In the dust, they could vaguely see a few galloping horses galloping towards them …
Five or six galloping horses stopped at the Ten Li Long Pavilion. Ning Xueyan then saw clearly that the leader was a handsome middle-aged man in his forties. He ran down from the horse skillfully and strode in. Madam Ming had already greeted him excitedly. Her hand holding the handkerchief was slightly trembling.
Even such a calm aunt was so excited.
"Master … You … You're back!" She murmured. Tears flashed in her eyes and her eyes were slightly red.
"Lady Yan? Why are you here? " Ming Feiyong didn't expect that his wife was here. He was quite surprised. He wrote a letter saying that he would go back and asked them not to pick him up. He wanted to talk to his niece first.
"I … I am here to pick up … Master." Mrs. Ming was so excited that she burst into tears. Her husband had been to the border area for more than ten years and had never come back. They only communicated by letter. When she heard that her husband had come back, she couldn't hold back her tears. She came here with her son early just to see Ming Feiyong as soon as possible.
"What are you crying for? You're already a grown man. Don't let the children laugh at you. This is … Hua 'er, you've grown so big!" Seeing his wife crying, Ming Feiyong also felt sorry for her. He reached out his hand to wipe her tears gently with a gentle look on his weathered face. His eyes fell on Ming Yuanhua and he was in a good mood when he saw his son's handsome and vigorous appearance.
"Father, your son pays his respects to you. Have you been well?" Seeing his mother crying emotionally, Ming Yuan Hua's heart was also filled with grief. His lips trembled twice before he bowed respectfully. He grew up listening to his mother's stories about his father. He knew that his father was a general, so he had to be in the army. He was very proud of his father. Now that he saw his father appear in front of him, how could he not be excited?
"Good, good … Everything is good!" Tears welled up in Ming Feiyong's eyes. He pulled his son over and patted him on the shoulder with mixed feelings. If he was not helpless, he wouldn't have gone to the border area for more than ten years. Besides, he didn't even come home during those years.
His gaze fell on the last person, who was dressed like a manservant. Normally, he wouldn't pay attention to him, but just now he saw his wife and son sitting with this manservant, which meant that this manservant was not an ordinary person. His gaze fell on the pale face, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Uncle, I'm Yan 'er." Ning Xueyan didn't know why she also wanted to cry. It should have been a happy thing to see the reunion of husband and wife. But when she saw the three pairs of slightly red eyes, Ning Xueyan's eyes also turned red. She lowered her head to hide the excitement in her eyes. When she raised her head again, she showed a gentle smile.
"Yan 'er?" Ming Feiyong let go of Ming Yuanhua's shoulder and walked over with heavy steps. He unconsciously pursed his lips with some determination.
"Yes, uncle. I'm Yan 'er! My mother … she … "Ning Xueyan bit her lips and couldn't say a word. She was Ning Ziying and Ning Xueyan now. All Ning Xueyan's experience was like her own experience. So, in her heart, she had already regarded Madam Ming as her biological mother. Seeing Ming Feiyong now, she felt like seeing a family member. Her heart was filled with grief!
She felt her nose was sour and tears were about to fall down. After her rebirth, she had never been so weak even when facing Prince Yi. She couldn't say the word "death" no matter how hard she tried.
"Good girl, don't say it. I already know what happened to your mother." Ming Feiyong was indeed an experienced general. At this time, he had calmed down. He took Ning Xueyan's hand and looked her up and down. He reached out to touch her head and sighed. He caressed her and said, "I know. I know everything. Good girl, you've suffered!"
"Uncle, I'm not suffering. It's my mother who has suffered." Ning Xueyan swallowed the pain in her heart. She raised her pale face and forced a smile.
"Are you dressed like this to avoid their eyes and ears?" Looking at Ning Xueyan's clothes, Ming Feiyong understood everything. He nodded and sighed in his heart. "This child is smart. I was worried that she was too cowardly before. Now I'm relieved. Rumors can't be completely trusted."
"Master, don't worry. Sit down and have a cup of tea." Madame Ming came over with red eyes and smiled. She poured a cup of tea for Ming Feiyong and persuaded them.
They sat down again. Several servants were sent out of the pavilion. Ming Feiyong's trusted bodyguards were also waiting outside the pavilion. Ning Xueyan didn't sit down. She stood beside Ming Feiyong with her hands and shoulders down. They were now in the pavilion with a wider view. They should be able to see everything in the pavilion from a distance. Ning Xueyan was so shocked that she sat with Madame Ming. Now she came to her senses. Of course, she wouldn't make the same mistake again.
She couldn't let anyone in the Lord Protector's Manor know that she came to meet her uncle.
Ming Feiyong looked at her weight and nodded secretly. He didn't expect his niece to be so meticulous at such a young age. It was rare. Thinking that she was so young and weak, but she could exercise so well, Ming Feiyong felt pain in his heart. He hated the Lord Protector's Manor even more!
What kind of life did his sister and niece live in the Lord Protector's Manor? How could such a thin and weak girl be so sensible at such a young age!
"Uncle, the Lord Protector's Manor is full of Madam Ling's people. My mother had an accident, but Lord Protector didn't punish Madam Ling. If I'm not careful, I'm afraid that you will soon receive the news that I'm dying of a sudden illness." Ning Xueyan understood the pity in Ming Feiyong's eyes. She felt bitter in her heart. She forced a smile and explained, but her eyes were more determined.
It was difficult for her to deal with Madam Ling, but it was easy for Madam Ling to deal with her.
She helped Ning Ziyan find Chen Hexiang on purpose and let Chen Hexiang enter Xia's Manor. Of course, it was for revenge. But it was also because of Madam Ling that she couldn't do anything to Ning Ziyan for the time being. Otherwise, Madam Ling would never let her go. She had to deal with Madam Ling first before she could deal with Ning Ziyan and Xia Yuhang.
Ning Xueyan naturally knew how ruthless Madam Ling was. As long as she showed even the slightest bit of hatred towards her, Madam Ling would be merciless and kill her in one fell swoop. Madam Ming was no longer here, and no one in the Lord Protector's Manor would stand up for her. Even if she died as inexplicably as Madam Ming, no one would question her.
Madam Dowager only cared about the glory and dignity of the Lord Protector's Manor and the wealth of the Lord Protector's Manor. She didn't care about kinship at all. She had lost her affection for Ning Xueyan many years ago. At this time, she was only nice to Ning Xueyan on the surface. Compared to her other granddaughters, Ning Xueyan was the most dispensable. So she would never fight against Madam Ling for her.
Therefore, she had to be more careful so that she could survive, avenge Madam Ming and Ning Xueyan, and drag all her enemies into the Blood Sea Purgatory step by step.
Blood for blood. Ning Xueyan had never forgotten the despair when she died.
Plotting step by step and forcing her enemies into a dead end were all of her rebirth.
"Bang!" Ming Feiyong's hand hit the stone table heavily. The stone table shook twice and almost fell down. He shouted angrily, "How dare he!" If it weren't for his sister who kept saying that she was living a good life and everything was her own idea, telling him not to care about anything and quarreling with him, he wouldn't have asked about the Lord Protector's Manor for so many years.
"Uncle, don't be angry. I won't be bullied by anyone in the future," Ning Xueyan said softly. Ning Xueyan said softly. She really felt close to her uncle. As Mother Han said, her uncle loved her very much. But when she saw him mention her mother, his eyes turned red and a little pain flashed in his eyes. She knew that he was really good to her and her mother.
