Chapter 44 Empathy
Ning Shuo's words made Duke Ning thoughtful.The dispute between the Crown Prince and King Jin has been going on for a long time, and I don't know when it started. The courtiers have already acquiesced that His Majesty is using the technique of checks and balances.

What everyone saw was the power His Majesty gave to the Crown Prince and King Jin, but what did His Majesty think in his heart?Do you really think that you are hurting your two sons at the same time?
This is too ridiculous.

But Ning Shuo used Ning Guogong himself as an example, and he could empathize with it, because he really thought that he was respecting his mother and wife at the same time, and that his wife and mother were noisy, and he was the most difficult person to be caught in the middle.He was busy with so many things on weekdays, and in the end he had to worry about the dispute between his mother and his wife, which broke his heart.

Thinking of this, he seemed to feel something, glanced at Ning Shuo, and said, "What you said is also reasonable, but you can't tell anyone except us, even Boss Yuchuan."

He also told the other two sons, "The two of you can't go out and talk. One is prosperous and the other is ruined. Our family is just right now, so we can't talk about it."

The three sons all nodded and said yes, and Duke Ning was satisfied.Then let them go back to rest. After they left, he originally wanted to visit his mother, but remembering Ning Shuo's words just now, he stopped again, and simply hardened his heart and went to his wife's room.

On the contrary, Mrs. Ning knew her son's nature well, and thought that he would definitely come to Shoukang Hall to comfort her tonight—after all, they were all respected old ladies from the Duke's Mansion in Kyoto. Locked up at home, he will be sent back to his hometown in Muzhou.

With such a big gap, how could you not comfort her?She had already figured out how to cry. If she could cry until his heart softened, she might be able to stay in the capital by then.

Unexpectedly, no one came after Bansu, and when someone inquired, it was found that his son had gone to Li's place and had already turned off the lights and gone to sleep.She couldn't breathe in her heart, and almost fainted.

On the second day, Li's family members were in high spirits on happy occasions, and quietly whispered to Shengyan Bell, "Yesterday, I planned that your uncle would be soft-hearted and go to Shoukang Hall. Who knew he didn't go? In the evening, another set of white porcelain from Runan fell over there."

She gloated, "Tsk, that set of Runan white porcelain is her dowry. She always likes it, and usually she doesn't show it out. I took it out last night, presumably to play emotional cards with your uncle, saying that she has been married since she was married. The pain she is suffering now, in the past, at this time, your uncle would always agree to her request, but in the end your uncle didn't go at all! She is going to die of anger!"

Then I was a little curious, and I got entangled, and frowned suspiciously: "It's really weird, why didn't you go? Is there a scam?"

Sheng Yanling covered her mouth and smiled, feeling that such an aunt is really cute and lovely, she asked in a low voice, "Didn't you ask your uncle last night?"

Li's eyes widened, "Don't dare to ask, don't dare to ask, what if he forgets to go? What if he changes his mind after asking? I even specially yawned, saying that I was tired in the town government's mansion. It’s broken, go to bed early, then turn off the light and go to bed, and sleep on the outside!”

It is to prevent the husband from getting up in the middle of the night with a disturbed conscience and going to Shoukangtang.

Feast Bell almost laughed out loud.She took her aunt's hand, "This shows that my uncle has figured it out."

Li was still a little worried: "But how did he figure it out? After so many years, he has changed so much, and I am uneasy."

Sheng Yanling thought for a while and guessed: "After we left yesterday, the three cousins ​​were in the study, maybe they persuaded you?"

Li Shi laughed, "It must be Shuo'er! He loves me the most, I have to ask him."

So Ning Shuo who was in Buyuchuan Mansion without Muxiu was called today.After listening to Li Shi's question, he probably guessed that he compared the prince and King Jin to Li Shi and the old lady to wake up Ning Guogong, but he really couldn't say this to Li Shi, so he said: "Since father has awakened Mother just take care of it."

Seize the opportunity to send the old lady back to Muzhou as soon as possible.

Speaking of Muzhou, he paused and asked Li Shi, "Has mother ever been to Muzhou? Does our family have any relatives there?"

Mrs. Li shook her head, "I didn't go. Not to mention me, even your father hasn't been there either. All the relatives in the family have [-] ways around the corner. Anyway, there is no close relative, but the clan is still there, and our family is still there." Not a direct branch, not much contact, only donating money to the clan every year, a little bit of incense."

Ning Shuo nodded, probably understood.

Speaking of which, both the Sui family and the Ning family came from Muzhou.This is convenient for him to investigate the case of his second uncle's family. After all, it makes sense for him to investigate the officialdom in Muzhou.

He said to Bu Yuchuan a few days ago: "The Ning family was born in Muzhou, and my grandmother will also go back. If she can become an official in the future, the students want to go back to Muzhou and start as a county magistrate, so as to gain momentum."

Bu Yuchuan didn't stop him, thinking it was a discussion between him and Ning Guogong, so he followed his wishes and told him many official affairs in Muzhou.

Ning Shuo took the opportunity to ask, "Among the Muzhou aristocratic family, who else can point the sword at the court?"

Bu Yuchuan soon discovered that the student's questions were very sharp, and he didn't look like a fledgling, but like an eagle.

He smiled and said, "Your father should know more about Muzhou than I do. But...it is true that I got a general idea of ​​Muzhou four years ago by investigating the family case, so I can tell you a little bit about it." .”

Ning Shuo held hands together at that time, but he didn't follow along to ask about Suijia.

——Don't be in a hurry about this matter. If you are in a hurry, you will definitely make mistakes, which will attract people's suspicion. If you have to implicate the Ningguo Mansion at that time, it will be a crime.

He took a deep breath, came back to his senses, and said to Li Shi: "Father took a step back. For the sake of long-term consideration, mother can give way to grandma's return to Muzhou. Of course, it's up to mother." Whatever you want, come here as you please."

Li Shi was so touched, she felt that Ning Shuo was simply the "daughter" given to her by the heavens, and she was really caring.

Then she turned her head and found that Yan Yanling was thinking about something with her drooping eyes, she just didn't look up at Ning Shuo.Li Shi thought she was keeping the etiquette, so she smiled and said, "My brothers and sisters, don't hide so much, I'm still here."

With elders around, we can still talk.But Sheng Yanling didn't dare to look at Ning Shuo.It's still the same as yesterday, because she thinks that her cousin is so powerful now, he really looks more and more like a husband.

I thought he looked like it before, but I only thought about it that way, but now I feel that he looks too much, so I can't control my mind, and I can't help but think of him as my husband's substitute... No, the word substitute is not right, the substitute seems to be right.

Thinking of the word substitute, she covered her face and buried herself in the quilt in embarrassment, wishing she could suffocate herself to death.
