Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack
Chapter 495 Sister is Real Gold (13)
Mother Ning stared at Father Ning in disbelief, "You hit me? You actually hit me?!"
Normally, even a married couple cannot just hit each other casually. Besides, they are a marquisate after all, and they have to maintain their dignity. How could the marquis hit the marquis' wife for no reason? !
So she never expected that she would be hit like this, and she was stunned.
Father Ning said coldly, "I'm going to hit you! How many times have I told you not to put the cart before the horse? Don't you understand? Ning Ning and Ning Ran are our flesh and blood, and Zhang Ke'er, that bitch, did something shameless. If we don't marry her off quickly, Ning Ning and Ning Ran's marriage will be affected! Don't you care about them?! You want to force the Sun family to marry Zhang Ke'er openly. If this matter gets out of hand, the censor can report me for not managing my family properly! Are you going to use the entire Marquis' Mansion to fill the hole for Zhang Ke'er? What on earth did Zhang Ke'er feed you to make you so crazy!!!"
"Oh, oh, my Lord, that's not what I meant."
Ning's mother covered her face and shed tears. Ning Ning was still in the room, and she was beaten. How could she have the dignity of being a mother in the future!
"I don't want Ke'er to be a concubine just for the sake of the Marquis's Mansion. After all, she is our adopted daughter. If she goes out to be a concubine, we will lose face!"
"She did such a shameful thing, and we have lost all our face! Fortunately, she is just an adopted daughter, and we said we just brought her here to raise for a while. Her name is not in our family tree, so this matter has nothing to do with us! If she said something like this again, a strict family would beat her to death. We also agreed to send her to be a concubine, which is already the most righteous thing we can do!"
"No, Ke'er said that she just wanted to tell Sun Jisheng a few words from her heart, but she didn't expect Sun Jisheng to force her... Ke'er is innocent in this matter!"
Father Ning was even angrier. "You believed that kind of kid-fooling talk? Well, even if Sun Jisheng forced her, you should report it to the authorities and let them arrest him. Go ahead!"
"My Lord, I just want Ke'er to have a better life in the future because of the love we have had as mother and daughter. Ever since Ran came back, you haven't treated her as well as before, but she is the daughter we raised little by little. Can we just write off the past? How can you men be so cruel!"
"Shut up! Is it wrong for me to love my own flesh and blood? Zhang Ke'er's path was narrowed by herself, and no one else is to blame! You also go back to the yard and be confined to your room. You are not allowed to contact Zhang Ke'er again, lest you cause greater trouble!"
"My Lord, you can't——"
Ning's mother wanted to continue to whine, but Ning's father would not listen to her anymore. He told the servants that the mistress was not feeling well and had to return to her own courtyard to recuperate and was not allowed to see outsiders.
In fact, she was confined to the house, and then someone was ordered to send Zhang Ke'er back to the Zhang family, and she was not allowed to take anything with her.
As the adopted daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, she should have received a share of the dowry from the Mansion. However, Ning's father said that Zhang Ke'er was only a concubine and not officially married, so she did not need a dowry. Therefore, the Mansion did not give her any.
The Zhang family was waiting eagerly, hoping that the things Zhang Ke'er would bring would make them richer, but they didn't expect that their wait would be in vain.
They couldn't afford to offend the Marquis' Mansion, so they could only make a few indirect remarks and then brainwash Zhang Ke'er, telling her not to forget her parents' home even when she arrived at the Zhang family. Now that the Marquis' Mansion didn't care about her, only her parents' home could support her.
So, on an inconspicuous day, Zhang Ke'er was quietly carried to the Sun family in a sedan chair, and she went out through the side door. In this way, the Sun family quietly gained a concubine.
In fact, Sun Jishen felt sorry for Zhang Ke'er and suggested to his parents that no matter what, Zhang Ke'er was a good girl and a good concubine in his house, so could they still hold a banquet and invite a troupe to perform a play, which would at least give Zhang Ke'er an explanation.
But Sun's father directly countered, "I want to give her respect, but will the Zhang family give her respect? If we do as you say, she will also have to show her dowry, but where is her dowry? Will the Zhang family give it to her? Or will the Ning family give it to her?"
This one sentence made Sun Jisheng speechless, and he could only acquiesce and quietly carry Zhang Keer back.
Later, Zhang Ke'er felt that she was wronged in the Sun family because the day after she entered the family, Sun's mother gave Sun Jisheng two more maids. Each of them was the most beautiful in the mansion, and none of them was worse than Zhang Ke'er.
Even though Zhang Ke'er was what Sun Jisheng had dreamed of for many years, she was already in his hands after all, and the novelty had worn off a lot, so Sun Jisheng's attention was inevitably diverted a little.
Moreover, the Sun family immediately arranged a marriage for him with someone of equal social status, and the wedding would take place soon. Sun Jisheng would not be able to treat his wife harshly at that time, and besides, she might also have her own trusted maidservant who would be pushed over to be his concubine.
This doesn't give her any chance at all to develop feelings for Sun Jisheng!
Zhang Ke'er had no choice but to secretly pass the message to Ning's mother. Ning's mother had no other choice but to ask Sun's mother how Zhang Ke'er was when she met her, whether there was anything that made her unhappy. She also talked about her mother-daughter relationship with Zhang Ke'er and how much she loved Zhang Ke'er.
She wanted the Sun family to treat Zhang Ke'er better for her sake, but unexpectedly, Sun's mother smiled kindly and turned around to ask someone to convey these words to Ning's father.
Father Ning felt that all his self-restraint over the years was being wasted by the unreliable Mother Ning. "I think you are really stubborn. We would have wanted to cut off all ties with Zhang Ke'er if we had sent her away, but you are still trying to get close to her. Don't say that the Sun family didn't mistreat her. Even if they did, it was the Zhang family who stood up for her. What does it have to do with you?! You rushed to acknowledge her because you are afraid that others don't know that you have an adopted daughter as a concubine?!"
"My Lord, I just feel distressed—"
"Forget it, I don't want to hear you say anymore. If you really love Zhang Ke'er more than anything else, it would be better for you and I to get divorced, and you can just stay with Zhang Ke'er and live a good life!"
"What? You want to divorce me? No, what have I done wrong? How can you treat me like this? Ah Ning, are you just going to watch?!"
Ning Ning coughed twice and said, "Father, I have found out some things recently. Perhaps after hearing these things, mother will change her opinion of Zhang Ke'er."
"What do you want to say? Don't you think Ke'er is miserable enough?"
Ning's mother wiped her tears and looked at Ning Ning with resentment, as if Ning Ning had thought of another way to frame Zhang Ke'er.
Ning Ning smiled and said, "Mother won't believe me no matter what I say, so let's listen to what others say."
He gave an order and two people were brought in from outside. They were the big girl who had followed Zhang Ke'er. Both of them looked a little flustered.
Ning's mother was puzzled, "What are you doing here?"
Ning Ning, "Tell me everything you know again."
"Yes. In fact, Zhang Ke'er has been in contact with the Zhang family for a long time. In the first two years, whenever she said she wanted to go to the temple to burn incense or donate things to the poor, she actually gave them to the Zhang family."
Another maid also said hurriedly, "There were two other times when Zhang Ke'er said she lost her jewelry and couldn't find who took it. Madam scolded us at that time, saying that we didn't serve her well. In fact, I knew that she secretly gave it to the Zhang family, but she ordered us not to tell anyone, otherwise she would sell us out. We also asked her why she gave things to the Zhang family. She said that Madam and Madam Zhang had a very good relationship in the past, and they were about to become sworn sisters. In recent years, she heard that Madam Zhang was not doing well, and she felt very sorry. However, she didn't lend a helping hand to the Zhang family at the time, and now it's not easy to go to her house, so she could only secretly talk to her a few words. Then she contacted the Zhang family and decided to compensate the Zhang family, just as a wish for Madam."
