Chapter 759: Even Crows Knew to Support Their Aging Parents
When Old Madame came to visit Ning Shu, Ning Shu said, “Mother, I don’t know why but I can’t shake off this bad feeling. I’ve never had this feeling before. Mother, did something happen to An You?”
Shen Shi rapped the ground with her walking stick. “What could possibly happen to him? An You’s not dealing with anything big, it’s only a citizen uprising, a bunch of citizens taking this chance to riot, what could possibly happen?”
Ning Shu saw that the old madame seems a little worn out. It was probably because she was having to manage the residence and teach An Lingyun how to manage a household.
In response to the old madame’s rebuke, Ning Shu immediately said, “Yes, Mother. This daughter-in-law must be overthinking.”
When the old madame saw that Ning Shu’s face was wan due to illness, she couldn’t very well ask Ning Shu to get up and start managing the residence again.
At the same time, An Lingyun who was forced to learn how to manage the residence by the old madame was overwhelmed by all the work. She ran over to find Ning Shu and cried, “Mother, hurry up and get better. I really can’t do it.”
Ning Shu reached out to stroke An Lingyun’s head and said with a smile, “You’re my daughter. Your mother could do it, so you can definitely do it as well. It was like this as well when Mother first started learning. Mother was nearly brought to tears due to your grandma’s rebukes, but isn’t Mother still handling everything perfectly well now?”
What exactly was An Lingyun thinking to have actually called her own mother malicious? Did they think the original host’s crazy actions truly had nothing to do with them?
Ning Shu didn’t feel any maternal affection for these two children. In her opinion, they were just white-eyed wolves. The original host had given birth to them with much pain, then worked hard to raise and educate them. The original host didn’t have a husband to keep her company and still had to respectfully take care of her mother-in-law while also looking after two children.
In the end, all of this couldn’t stand up against just a couple words from Princess Mingzhu. Was it because Princess Mingzhu was simply too pure and wonderful, or because they felt like the original host’s crazy manner made them lose face?
Even crows knew to support their aging parents.
An Lingyun pouted, her eyes glimmering with pitiful tears, but Ning Shu’s eyes were indifferent as she spoke with an amused and affectionate smile, “Lingyun’s a big girl now, you can’t cry anymore. Although things are hard now, it’s at least better than having to suffer it at your in-law’s house.”
An Lingyun pouted harder and burrowed into Ning Shu’s arm as she said in a spoiled tone, “Mother, I want to stay with you forever.”
Ning Shu chuckled. “What girl stays at home forever?”
When An Lingyun saw that Ning Shu showed no signs of retracting this decision, she had no choice but to continue learning how to manage the residence. However, since she was young, she wasn’t very good at it and was very flustered, which made the servants in the residence feel restless as well. In the past, they had always known what they needed to do each day, but now An Lingyun had taken over. An Lingyun was completely at a loss as to how to deal with this enormous residence.
Shen Shi was already very old, but when she saw how much An Lingyun was panicking, she had no choice but to gather up her energy and start managing the household. This made Shen Shi much more worn out than before.
Even An Yu was coming to Ning Shu to complain, saying that his clothes had been sent over before they were ironed and sometimes there wasn’t even any water to drink.
Ning Shu looked at this child. He had handsome looks that were quite similar to An You’s, except that his features were still contained a bit of youthful tenderness. In the ancient era, by seventeen, men were supposed to start undertaking some sort of responsibility, but An Yu didn’t have anything he needed to do and just spent his days leisurely practicing martial arts.
After being rejected by Princess Mingzhu, while he was depressed, he ended up making some bad friends and got addicted to gambling. After that, he even started stealing some of the original host’s money to go gambling.
He was yet another kid that had been spoiled rotten.
In response to An Yu’s complaints, Ning Shu just said, “Your younger sister just started learning to manage the house, so you should be more forgiving towards her for the things she’s not doing well yet.”
“Mother, are you feeling any better?” asked An Yu. Ning Shu said, “Mother is fine, you don’t need to worry.”
Ning Shu watched as An Yu left. Every single one of them were people soaking in honey. This ma’am was obliged to wait upon you guys? What a joke!
Zhu Er walked in and reported happily, “Madame, the general has returned in triumph!”
Ning Shu made a happy expression and said hastily, “Help me get dressed.”
“Yes!” Zhu Er immediately got busy helping Ning Shu with her hair and with getting dressed.
When Ning Shu got to the residence doors, the old madame was already there waiting. The old madame’s face was also filled with joy. When she saw that Ning Shu’s facial color had improved slightly, she said, “Look. I told you that You er would be fine.”
Ning Shu gave a long, relieved exhale, then said happily, “It’s good that husband is back. It’s very good.”
So the two of them, the two children, and all the servants in the residence waited at the entrance.
