Cen Zhou was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

If Ning Zhishui was his daughter, then he would be so proud. He would talk about it to everyone and pretend to mention it accidentally wherever he went, so that everyone would know how outstanding his daughter was.

And I also think: Since your talent is so good, you can be a little better, right?

So when he heard Ning Cheng say this, he was surprised. Even though he was surprised, he couldn't help but think deeply.

What Ning Cheng said... is correct.

After he learned about Ning Zhishui's identity yesterday, he couldn't help but mention it to his fourth daughter. His words were full of praise for Ning Zhishui and his expectations for his daughter.

But after my daughter heard this, she looked unhappy and looked a little sad, but she just went back to the room in a low voice without saying anything.

Now, he probably knows what the problem is.

"Brother Ning is saying that we shouldn't expect our children to get ahead, as long as they are safe and happy." He couldn't help but say seriously.

Ning Cheng nodded happily, "That's right. No matter whether they are outstanding or not, they are our children. Besides, when it comes to getting ahead, we are not even ourselves, so why should we ask for it from our children?"

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, a bit like they were letting go of their grudges, even though there was no deep hatred in the first place.

In this way, because of their juniors, the two inexplicably reached a cooperation.

"By the way, this is what Zhishui asked me to bring to you." Ning Cheng took out the exquisite umbrella-shaped magic weapon, "Isn't your daughter's birthday coming soon? This is her gift, and it can also be considered as my gift."

Cen Zhou couldn't help but look happy, "Thank you so much, niece Zhishui! However, when you say this is your gift, is it too far-fetched?"

Ning Cheng said confidently, "Why is this so far-fetched? If you don't want it, just give it back to me."

"Hey! Who said I don't want it anymore? Just give it back to me!"

As soon as the cooperation was reached, Ning Cheng became even busier and needed to run to Mountain City.

The matters at home were left to Ren Muqing. Fortunately, she had learned housekeeping from Ning Cheng when she first came to the Ning family, and was familiar with the situation in the house, so she quickly took over.

Ning Zhishui did not practice cultivation after coming to the Ning family. While her mother was busy with the affairs of the house, she walked around and chatted with the new stewards and maids of the house.

Her immature image of a girl is still very deceptive. Ning Zhishui only needs to smile innocently, and those people will rush to get close to her.

In the eyes of others, she is probably an innocent young lady with great talent who only knows how to practice since she was a child and does not understand worldly affairs, so it is inevitable that she will show some small thoughts in front of her.

Ning Zhishui had a panoramic view of the performance of these people, turned around and wrote a list and gave it to her mother.

Who can be treated as a confidant, who can’t be trusted with wild ideas, and who should be expelled from the house immediately...

As for those who could be regarded as confidants, Ning Zhishui also made timely arrangements for them——

As long as you follow my mother and work hard, you will definitely be indispensable in the future. Even if you don't stay in Ning Mansion, you will still have a place by my side in the future.

When they thought of Ning Zhishui's identity as a concerned disciple of the great elder of the first sect, Xianlai Sect, these people's hearts were filled with excitement, and they wished they could swear a poisonous oath to guarantee their loyalty.

Ning Zhishui didn't just pay lip service. In addition to verbal encouragement, Ning Zhishui also distributed some elixirs he made during his training to them.

The elixir she gave away was naturally not something that could be seen everywhere. More importantly, the quality was of very high quality. You could not buy the same quality anywhere else with money.

So these people were even more grateful and followed Ren Muqing obediently.

Yes, Ning Zhishui pushed these people to be with "mother" instead of "father and mother". As the head of the Ning family, Ning Cheng is surrounded by many useful people. He has confidants outside and a lot of supporters in the Ning family.

But my mother was different. She ignored worldly affairs and focused on refining alchemy, which made it easy for her to become "blind" and "deaf".

As long as her father thinks about it, she can neither hear nor see anything.

Ning Zhishui didn't want her mother to become such a person, although she felt that her father was not such a person, and their relationship as husband and wife was also very good, so they would not come to this point.

But human nature is the least able to withstand the test. No matter what, mother always has to have capable people around her.

Whether it's to protect her or prevent other things from happening.

This way you can feel at ease even when you are away from home.

"Mom, it's time for me to go."

Ning Zhishui said goodbye to her mother early that morning, "You and dad should be well together. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I'm not a child anymore, so I can share things with you."

Ren Muqing was very reluctant to leave, "I will go see you when mother has time."

"Okay, just tell me when you're coming. I've been running around all day and my whereabouts are unpredictable, so don't miss it."

When Ning Zhishui said this, Ren Muqing's nose became sore.

"Zhishui, you don't actually have to go anywhere. If you want, just stay at home. Your father and I can fully support you. You just need to practice..."

"Mom, this is something I am willing to do, I like it." Ning Zhishui took her hand, "Times are long, we all have time to do what we like to do. I am like this, and so are you."

Ren Muqing looked puzzled.

"We are ourselves first, and then we are a mother, a wife, and a daughter." Ning Zhishui stared at her, "Dad is very good, and so are you. We can all make ourselves happier."

How could Ning Zhishui not understand these days?

My father was busy with business matters and never touched the ground, while my mother stepped back and became a good housekeeper.

But this isn't what she likes to do.

Her mother should be more cheerful and bright, instead of being trapped by the family and willing to sacrifice.

In the previous life, my mother changed her temper because of her father's death and became a poisonous fairy. She even lost her life because of this.

In this life, Ning Zhishui didn't want all her life force to be invested in a man, living for that man's life and dying for that man's death.

Even if that man is his father, he has done nothing wrong at all.

Ren Muqing looked at her blankly, as if Ning Zhishui's words had completely subverted her cognition.

Ning Zhishui said nothing more. After leaving behind enough explosive words, she left and quickly disappeared from Ren Muqing's sight.

Ren Muqing stood at the door, staring blankly at the direction in which Ning Zhishui disappeared. He felt his heartbeat slow at first, and then faster and faster.

"Madam? The lady has left. It's windy here. Let's go back to the yard."

Youran, who had just become Ren Muqing's confidant maid, spoke to persuade.

"Back to the courtyard?" Ren Muqing fluttered her eyelashes and turned back, "No, I want to go to the city for a walk."
