Chapter 183 Punish a dead horse with caution (5)
"I don't know where the doctor and servants came from, I only know that the fourth young master found them from other places."
"Out of town?" Ma Ningxin took a weak breath, "So... no one in the capital knows her details."
"I'm afraid so, miss."
Ma Ningxin frowned, squeezed the veil tightly and said, "In the Millennium Court, what else does she do besides healing Aunt Lin's legs?"
The little maid thought for a while: "It seems... to teach the second lady how to speak."
So Ning Xi didn't burn out his throat, but his brain? Still need someone to teach her how to speak? After sending the little maid away, Ma Ningxin immediately wrote the news she got in a letter.
Lian'er took the letter and went out, and when she came back, she had a box of purple ointment in her hand: "A little father-in-law handed it to the servant at the door, saying it was a gift from the imperial concubine and empress, and let it be used by Niu Niu. I promise not to leave any scars."
Niu Niu's illness...has it spread to the palace? Ma Ningxin was stunned, the emblem on the ointment was indeed from the imperial pharmacy, and it could not be fake. But... thinking of what the imperial concubine had done to her, she locked the ointment in the cabinet again.
…
The sudden loss of a young maid from the Millennium Court did not cause any trouble.
After driving away the lone star of Tiansha, everyone seems to have started to change their luck. First, Lin Yonghe walked down the ground, and then Ning Xi spoke, his tone was a bit strange, but if he didn't listen carefully, he couldn't hear it very well. Ma Jingyan's luck was even better, and he got the chance to meet Princess Deqing.
Princess Deqing was the princess who had discussed marriage with Lin Chengfeng earlier. Because of Lin Chengfeng's trouble with Ning Zhen, Lin Kun introduced Ma Jingyan to her while apologizing to Princess Deqing.
When this matter reached the ears of the old lady, the old lady was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. It stands to reason that the princess consort is not a good way out for a man, because anyone who becomes a consort can no longer be an official in the court. Ma Jingyan's intelligence is second only to Ma Keqing. The old lady has high hopes for him, no matter what he does in the future , must be stronger than the princess consort who has no name at all. But some time ago, Ma Jinyan dropped out of school to take care of Lin Yonghe and Ning Xi, which undoubtedly ruined his official career. Since she can't be an official anymore, Princess Shang is more promising than marrying a well-matched daughter.
At this point, the old lady felt the last trace of guilt for driving Ning Yue away.
Sacrificing one person in exchange for the prosperity of the whole family, why not?
Niuniu's illness gradually improved, and she was able to make the old lady happy again, but she scratched a few pimples and left some scars.
Ma Ningxin hugs Niuniu to greet the old lady every day, and never mentions the old lady driving Ning Yue away. She didn't mention it, and neither did the old lady, making it seem like Ning Yue had never appeared in the Ma family. Seeing that she was well-behaved and much more sensible than before, the old lady sighed and said, "It's an eventful time in the house, and your second aunt may not be able to do it all by herself. If you have time, go to her room to sit and help She's the first one. Her housekeeper is no worse than your aunt, learn more from her, and when she gets married again, she will know how to deal with it."
"Grandmother's words are very true, and my granddaughter will work hard to learn from my second aunt." That afternoon, Ma Ningxin went to the second wife's yard.
As for Ma Ningxin's sudden assistance to the second wife in the middle school, the people in the Millennium Court didn't take it seriously. A widow with a daughter, if she wants to be brainless, chaste or chaste, her future fate will be nothing more than two: It's not worth their guarding against to spend a lifetime in Ma's family, or to find a bad family!
The ninth day of February was the day when Ma Jinyan and Princess Deqing met for the third time. The two met on a boat by the shore of Dali Lake. Same as the previous two times, Ma Jinyan arrived an hour earlier than the agreed time, standing at the bow of the boat in a chic and handsome manner, looking at the possible direction of the carriage.
