Ning Kaner never expected that her planning would end up backfiring herself in the foot.

After Ning Ning and Ning Ran left, she held Ning's mother's hand and cried for a long time, making many complaints and telling her many grievances in a subtle way, which made Ning's mother feel very sorry for her.

"Ke'er, don't listen to your brother's nonsense. You know he usually says things without thinking. Maybe he had a drink with some bad friends today and said nonsense to you. I know you have been wronged. When he sobers up tomorrow, I will take him to apologize to you. You are my daughter. We are mother and daughter. The affection we have had for more than ten years is not fake. No matter what others say, I will never treat you unfairly."

"Mom, please don't say that. How can I ask my brother to apologize to me? I can't bear it! I'm just a little confused. My brother loves me very much and has never been harsh to me. Why did he suddenly change today? Could it be... Could it be that someone told him something?"

In fact, to say how much the original body loved her in the past, that would be a lie, but the original body did not have the habit of abusing her sister. She was definitely friendly to her and would never give her a cold look like she did today.

Mother Ning followed her words and fell into deep thought, "Someone told him something? Could it be Ning Ran? No wonder An Ning's attitude changed so much, she is really scheming! No, I have to talk to the Marquis about this matter today, otherwise she really thinks she has the final say in this mansion!"

"Mom, please calm down. Don't let your anger get you in trouble."

She hid the smile on her lips and poured a cup of tea for Ning's mother.

Mother Ning took it and drank two sips with relief, "You are still the most sensible."

Therefore, under her instigation, Ning's mother went to Ning's father to complain about many things, so Ning's father went to Ning Ning with some anger to "question the charges", but all the situations were resolved by Ning Ning.

After all, compared to whether Ning Kaner was wronged or not, Ning's father cared more about the dignity of the Marquis' Mansion.

He couldn't bear the thought of being made a laughing stock by outsiders because of being nice to Ning Kaner.

Besides, he did feel a little guilty towards Ning Ran, and he didn't love Ning K'er as much as Ning's mother did. And compared with Ning K'er, his adopted daughter, he certainly cared more about the opinion of Ning Ning, the prince, so the balance in his heart could easily tilt.

Ning K'er's false complaint only resulted in Ning's father immediately opening the ancestral hall, recording Ning Ran in the family tree, erasing her name, and sending a message to the Zhang family to change her name back to Zhang K'er. At the same time, everyone in the mansion knew about it, and from then on they would call her "Miss K'er", and Ning Ran would be the legitimate eldest lady of the mansion.

Angry, Ning's mother went to Ning's father again, but Ning's father's face was even gloomier than last time. "What do you think I did wrong? Isn't Ran your own flesh and blood? Isn't Ke'er the daughter of the Zhang family? If we recognize Ning Ran, what will happen if we don't put her in the family tree? The girl of the Zhang family can't be recorded in our family tree forever. Even our ancestors in heaven can't agree to it! Madam, I know you love Ke'er. After all, she grew up in front of you since she was a child. But Ran has also suffered a lot. These hardships were really suffered by her for Ke'er. We finally recognized her, and we must compensate her well. Don't let our own flesh and blood feel cold."

"You, why do you say that? Who has fooled you? Ever since Ran was recognized, I have not lacked the courtyard servants, clothes and jewelry that she should have. Whatever belongs to Ke'er, belongs to her. From what you say, it seems like I have treated her unfairly!"

Father Ning frowned, "Isn't what you said the right thing to do? If it were me, Ran's things should be better than Ke'er's. After all, she is our biological daughter!"

"How can that be possible? Ke'er will be sad if you do that!"

"Why is she sad? The Zhang family is now in such decline. It is already a blessing for Zhang Ke'er to stay in the mansion as an adopted daughter. Could it be that she still wants to surpass the real young lady of this mansion?! I think you are crazy!"

Ning's father expressed his incomprehension, and then slapped Ning's mother in the face with practical actions.

He sent people to give Ning Ran many antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and personally selected a suitable nanny to work in Ning Ran's courtyard to take charge of her affairs, in order to express his love for Ning Ran and his recognition of her status.

The servants in the mansion are the best at reading the wind's direction, and no one dares to underestimate Ning Ran this time.

But Ning's mother was upset about this and she favored Ning Ke'er even more. No, now it should be Zhang Ke'er. So no one dared to treat her coldly in private, and the treatment of the two in the mansion was almost the same.

At this time, Ning Ning went to see Prince Duan, who was a very good brother of her original body, and asked him to find two maids from the palace for her. She promised to take care of them in their old age and invite them to live in the mansion to teach Ning Ran the rules. At the same time, she was asked to tell her more about what was happening outside so that she would see more and understand more. Naturally, her speech and behavior would improve and she would no longer be so timid.

Afterwards, Ning Ning specially found a skilled cook who was good at making medicinal food. She built a small kitchen in Ning Ran's yard. The cook cooked delicious meals for Ning Ran and also made medicinal food for her to nourish her body.

Ning Ran couldn't eat anything good at Zhang's house, and he was in a bad mood after returning home. He was too embarrassed to say what he really liked to eat, so he was weak. This time he asked the cook to nourish him well.

Ning Ning also specifically told the cook, "If you need any good ingredients, just come to me. I only have one sister, so don't tell her about other things."

Then, he ordered people to give the cook a reward, which made the cook smile with joy and compliment him highly.

Ning Ning showed a satisfied look on his face, but the servant beside him couldn't help but whisper to him while everyone else was gone, "My Lord, you spent a lot of money buying clothes and jewelry for the young lady the day before yesterday, and now you're building a small kitchen, hiring a cook and a nanny, all of which didn't go through the mansion, but came from your private room. Even if you have a lot of private room, I'm afraid you can't afford to spend so much."

"It's alright, I already have an idea. I've already agreed with the Marquis that I'll take over the management of a shop, and we'll split the profits 30% to 70% with the mansion."

In fact, it is not just him, but the entire marquisate, and even many noble families have this problem.

The country has been at peace for a long time, and these nobles who made their fortunes through military merit no longer have as much income, but they have already put on their aristocratic airs, and they cannot be too frugal and risk being laughed at.

This is not only for face, but more to show our own strength, to tell others that our family is okay and not at the end of its rope, so please don't think of taking advantage of us!

Otherwise, if a giant beast shows signs of exhaustion, other beasts will start to target it and prepare to use its meat to fill their stomachs. This is also the difficulty faced by the aristocratic families. Even if their endowments are exhausted, they have to keep the frame up.
