Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 295 Jing Ning's Hesitation

"Then General Xiao and my father are talking in the main hall?" Jing Ning asked.

"Yes." Xiao Yuan replied.

"Okay, I get it, Yuan, you go back first." Jing Ning smiled, and issued the 'Exit Order' again.

Xiao Yuan knew that Jing Ning was not feeling well, so she didn't refuse anymore. Even though she still wanted to intercede for her brother, what Jing Ning said just now made her decide not to persuade her anymore.

Jing Ning is smarter than her, although she really wants to help her brother, but Jing Ning is also her best sister, and she also feels wronged and sad for Jing Ning.

"Then I'll go first." Xiao Yuan said.

"Okay." Jing Ning had a smile on his face, but after Xiao Yuan left, the smile was fleeting.

Wen Xing looked at his young lady worriedly, they could see any feelings the young lady had for Mr. Xiao.

Jing Ning ignored Wen Xing, walked slowly to the window, and looked at the scenery outside the window.Although spring has passed, the weather is still very cold.The courtyard was still a bleak scene, just like her mood at this time.

Zheng Anyan and Father Xiao were talking in the main hall, and when they saw Xiao Yuan coming in listlessly, they looked at each other.

Then Father Xiao got up and said to Zheng Anyan: "Brother Zheng, we've been nagging for a long time today, so let's take our leave first."

Zheng Anyan also got up and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, go slowly."

After Father Xiao and Xiao Yuan walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, they got into the carriage.Father Xiao sized up the silent Xiao Yuan, and asked, "A Yuan, after you talked to Jing Ning, how did Jing Ning react?"

Mentioning this, Xiao Yuan lowered her drooping head even more. "Jing Ning is a little sad."

"Father, does brother have to keep that woman in the mansion?"

Father Xiao put on a serious face, "I can't say anything about that woman in the future! She belongs to the emperor, you have to be polite to her, and call her sister Wanxi from now on."

"Understood." Xiao Yuan curled her lips in displeasure.She would still greet that woman with a smile in the future, how could she be worthy of her sister-in-law.

Father Xiao saw Xiao Yuan's dissatisfaction, and his tone became more and more severe, "A Yuan, I know you don't like Wanxi, but she was given to your brother by the emperor, no matter whether you like her or feel wronged by Jingning , You can say whatever you want in secret, but in front of Wanxi or in front of others, you can't show your dislike for Wanxi. Do you understand?" Father Xiao became strict and involuntarily exposed himself on the battlefield The bitter breath of the sky.

Xiao Yuan was a little scared, and nodded reluctantly.

Seeing Xiao Yuan nodded, the expression on Father Xiao's face softened a little, "A Yuan, you are going to grow up too." He sighed and said.

Xiao Yuan bowed her head, she was not really ignorant, but she was really wronged for Jingning and felt worthless for her.If this matter were replaced by Feng Ting and himself, he would definitely be very sad and sad.

"Jing Ning is a smart and sensible child. She may feel sad in her heart now, but she knows what she should do." Father Xiao said to Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan didn't speak any more, the carriage was swaying, she opened one side of the curtain, and looked outside the carriage, pedestrians coming and going.

Here in the prime minister's mansion, after sending father Xiao and Xiao Yuan away, Zheng Anyan went to Jingning's courtyard.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Wenxing and Bihua standing at the door of the house, both of them looked worried.

"Where's Jingning?" Zheng Anyan asked out loud.

Wen Xing and Bihua heard Zheng Anyan's voice, turned their heads quickly, and saluted Zheng Anyan.

"Master, Miss locked herself in the room, go and persuade her." Wen Xing spoke quickly, and hurriedly said to Zheng Anyan.

Zheng Anyan frowned, waved to the two of them, then walked to the door, knocked lightly, "Jingning, I'm Daddy."

There were small sounds from inside the room, and then the door opened. Jing Ning looked at Zheng Anyan who was standing by the door, with a smile on his face, "Daddy, why are you here?"

Jing Ning turned to invite Zheng Anyan into the room, then poured Zheng Anyan a cup of hot tea and handed it to him, "Dad, drink tea."

Zheng Anyan took the teacup, took a sip, thought for a while, put the cup on the table, looked at Jingning, and said to her: "Just now when the child Xiao Yuan came to you, let me tell you everything."

The smile on Jingning's face froze for a moment, then she smiled calmly, "A Yuan told me everything just now."

"What do you think?" Zheng Anyan asked.

Jing Ning avoided Zheng Anyan's gaze, and walked aside with the teacup in her hand, "Since the matter has already happened, let my daughter accept it calmly." She smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Jing Ning, you have to know that all men have three wives and four concubines, and Xiao Lin is no exception. The Xiao family controls the military power and has a high position. Xiao Lin will not have you as a wife in the future, and his status will not allow it. When we marry the Xiao family, the emperor will naturally be suspicious, so he sent a woman to Xiao Lin. In fact, he is secretly monitoring the Xiao family, do you understand? So you can't blame Xiao Lin for this matter. The emperor also For peace of mind." Zheng Anyan persuaded patiently.

Jing Ning's expression changed, and she lowered her eyes, "Father, my daughter understands what you said, but..." She didn't say the rest, even without mentioning Zheng Anyan, she understood it.

"If you really care about that woman, why don't you think about it carefully, should you continue to marry Xiao Lin, or make a half-way marriage contract and let that woman be with Xiao Lin? Think about it carefully and see what you want. "Zheng Anyan sighed, the truth is actually very easy to understand, but he can't get over the hurdle in his heart.So he didn't need to say much, he could only wait for Jing Ning to figure it out for himself, and see what he really wanted.You can't have both fish and bear's paw, you can only choose one of the two.

After listening to Zheng Anyan's words, Jing Ning fell silent, and Zheng Anyan stopped talking.

After a long time, Jing Ning seemed to have finally made up his mind, with a flash of determination in his eyes, and said to Zheng Anyan: "Father, everything is going on normally."

She just thought about it, she really likes Xiao Lin, and she really wants to spend the rest of her life with him, although she doesn't want to share Xiao Lin with other women, she is worried that what happened to her will happen to her children again repeat.But Jing Ning felt confident that she would not let her children suffer.So she still made up her mind to continue marrying Xiao Lin.

Zheng Anyan breathed a sigh of relief, he smiled and said: "Okay, father will tell the Xiao family about these things, Jing Ning, in father's heart, you are the best girl."

Jing Ning's eyes were slightly red, "Thank you, dad, I understand." She is clear about Xiao Lin's personality, although this person looks cold, he is actually very soft inside, and he is very gentle and caring towards her.Although he is dull and can't talk about love, there will always be his figure behind him when he encounters something, standing silently behind him, giving himself strength, and solving things for him.
