The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination
Chapter 330 Ning Huiying
Yun Qing was not surprised to hear this. When he first met Mrs. Lin, he knew that this lady had some background. He didn't expect that she was from the Ning family in Jiangzhou.
But Ning Haochen was shocked after hearing this: "You are my aunt!" He knelt before Madam Lin and said: "I am Ning Dechang's third son, Ning Haochen!"
"Ning Dechang, you are Dechang's son? Your father wasn't killed by that vicious woman?"
After hearing this, Yun Qing and Mu Qingcheng understood that this Mrs. Lin was one of the two daughters who were deceived into marriage.
Ning Haochen frowned, "Being murdered is not a good thing. She just wanted to keep my father to earn money for her, but the descendants of our Ning family..."
Ning Haochen told Mrs. Lin about his two legitimate brothers and his speculation that Ning Haokun was not a descendant of the Ning family.
Everyone sighed after hearing this. It really proved the old saying that if you marry a virtuous wife, you will have many troubles.
Yun Qing asked, "Is Madam the eldest daughter or the second daughter?"
Mrs. Lin quickly replied, "I am the eldest daughter."
Yun Qing: "You are the one who married into the Marquis of Boyang's mansion in the capital!"
Madam Lin sneered: "I am not worthy of the Marquis of Boyang's Mansion."
"Aunt!" Ning Haochen pressed, "What happened back then? Why did you end up like this?"
Madam Lin said with shame, "Back then, I was young and ignorant, and I fell for her tricks. But it was all a trap set by that vicious woman!"
Mrs. Lin talked about what happened back then!
That year, the Ning family suffered a misfortune, and the eldest son and second son were killed one after another. Ning Huiying, who was only fifteen years old, stepped forward and resolutely took over the power of managing the family.
From that moment on, Ning Huiying knew what she was about to face! Not only did she have to contend with the various disputes within the Ning family, but she also had to constantly guard against the machinations of Old Madam Ning. To protect her brothers and sisters, Ning Huiying had no choice but to send her young brother away from Jiangzhou, hoping that he could grow up safely away from this troubled place.
At that time, she made up her mind to find a good marriage for her sister in the future, so that she would have a strong in-law family to protect her and live a peaceful life.
As for herself, Ning Huiying had already made up her mind to never marry. She was willing to stay in the Ning family and deal with the vicious old lady Ning to the end.
For the next two years, Ning Huiying was extremely cautious and kept a close watch on Old Madam Ning. Old Madam Ning was unable to find an opportunity to exploit, and the Ning family remained relatively peaceful for two years.
In the blink of an eye, Ning Huiying was already seventeen years old. This year, it was time to inspect the Ning family's property. She had to go on this trip, but she was afraid that her younger sister would be in danger if she stayed at home, so she took her younger sister with her on this inspection.
She had made every possible arrangement for this trip, arranging food, accommodation, and transportation along the way. She had hundreds of guards accompanying her, and had hired several female guards from the escort agency to provide personal protection for the sisters. With these safeguards, Ning Huiying felt a little more at ease, no longer fearing that Madam Ning would retaliate.
They were very careful along the way, and the journey was relatively smooth, without encountering any accidents or dangers. However, halfway to the East China Sea, they encountered a young man being chased.
The young man was already seriously injured, covered in blood, and his life was hanging by a thread! He was still stubbornly resisting the killer's attack.
Ning Huiying felt sorry for him and ordered the guards to rescue him. He was already unconscious. She hurried forward to check his injuries and found that he was tightly clutching a letter in his hand. The letter had the seal of the Pei family army on it and the word "urgent" on the envelope.
Ning Huiying knew that there was a war going on in Donghai and that General Pei was leading the troops. She felt that the situation was urgent and that the letter must be very important. She did not dare to delay for even a moment and immediately sent her confidant to the military camp to deliver the letter.
Not long after, the confidant came back and said that the letter had been delivered safely, and General Pei told the young master to rest and recuperate, and return to the barracks after he recovered.
The confidant also secretly revealed to her that this young man was most likely the eldest son of Marquis Pei, Pei Jinghong, also known as Prince Pei.
After hearing the news, Ning Huiying did not dare to neglect it and she took care of the young man personally.
This care lasted for more than half a month. Ning Huiying took care of "Prince Pei" meticulously, and the young man's injuries gradually improved.
During the half month of getting along, Ning Huiying and the young man gradually developed feelings for each other. Although the young man never revealed his true identity, Ning Huiying did not care.
Two weeks later, Prince Pei was about to return to the barracks, and the two reluctantly said goodbye, unable to bear to part. Prince Ning swore to heaven that he would tell his parents about his feelings upon his return, and they agreed to propose marriage in three months.
Ning Huiying was only a seventeen-year-old girl at the time. Even if she was very careful, she could not resist the girl's love and her ignorant feelings.
After they returned safely to Jiangzhou, Ning Huiying prepared for her marriage. She planned to dispose of most of the Ning family's assets and then divide the property equally. Now they were brothers and sisters, including Ning Dechang, a total of four people, and the property should be divided equally into four parts.
Ning Huiying wanted to take her brother and sister with her, planning to buy them property in the capital. She left the ancestral home in Jiangzhou to Ning Dechang. Ning Huiying thought that even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs, and Ning Dechang was her only son after all. She couldn't possibly kill him!
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a month, the Pei family did not arrive, but the second son of the Nangong family arrived instead. He came to propose marriage to Ning Huiying's sister, and with him came the eldest lady of the Nangong family's eldest branch, who was also the Nangong family's eldest sister-in-law.
At the same time, there is a personal letter from "Prince Pei". "Prince Pei" said that he and the second son of Nangong were classmates and friends. When his classmates heard that he wanted to marry the eldest daughter of the Ning family in Jiangzhou, they wanted to become brothers-in-law with Prince Pei, so they wanted to marry the second daughter of the Ning family.
Although Ning Huiying had doubts in her heart, she saw
I only believed half of the handwritten letter from "Prince Pei".
The Nangong family's ancestral home was in Yangcheng. Ning Huiying sent someone out to inquire and learned that they were indeed from Yangcheng, spoke the Yangcheng dialect, and brought a betrothal gift that followed the Yangcheng marriage regulations. Furthermore, the betrothal gift list was quite generous.
With these evidences, Ning Huiying no longer had any concerns. She specially arranged for the two to meet each other. If both of them were willing, she would agree to the marriage.
Young Master Nangong was handsome and charming, and he was also very good at speaking. Miss Ning fell in love with him at first sight, and both of them were very satisfied with the marriage.
Ning Huiying saw that her sister liked it, so she stopped trying to stop her. They quickly went through the six rituals and only waited for the wedding date to be set.
Young Master Nangong said that he wanted to get married on the same day as his good friend, so the wedding date was set on the day the Pei family got married.
But, the Pei family hasn’t even sent anyone to propose marriage, so how long do we have to wait?
As a result, within two days, the Pei family arrived: a housekeeper and Madam Pei's maid. They apologized, saying that Marquis Pei was deeply grateful for Ning Huiying's life-saving grace, and that he and Madam Pei had both agreed to the marriage. Unfortunately, the Marquis was away fighting in the East China Sea, and Madam Pei was ill, so they could only send two servants to propose marriage. Fearing that Ning Huiying would be wronged, the Pei family brought a substantial betrothal gift, a display so extensive it could be described as a profusion of red dowries, a display that shocked the entire Jiangzhou prefecture.
Ning Huiying had some complaints about the Pei family, but she couldn't say anything at this moment. After all, state affairs were important, and they couldn't really ask the old Marquis Pei to come in person. But the Pei family also gave her enough face.
So, the wedding date was set for a month later, and the sisters got married on the same day. The elder sister went north to Beijing to get married, while the younger sister followed the Nangong family and went south to Guangzhou to get married.
On the day of their wedding, the sisters' dowries were half of the Ning family's property, with two hundred thousand taels of silver alone. It was truly a grand wedding.
Until they left, the old lady of the Ning family was very quiet and did not make any trouble. Ning Huiying, who had been worried, finally felt relieved. Who knew that this was just the beginning of her ordeal!
