Chapter 320: My Sister is as Gentle as a Chrysanthemum (2)
Unexpectedly, I found out that Ning Zhen and Song Wan were having an affair, and they were hugging each other.
Song Wan was once a disciple of the original body's father. He lived in the original body's home for a few years when he was studying, and he and Ning Zhen were childhood sweethearts.
In fact, the original body had already felt that they were interested in each other, but at that time, marriages were decided by parents and matchmakers. Since Ning's father had arranged this marriage for Ning Zhen to the Zhao family, Ning Zhen naturally treated Song Wan as a brother.
Since we are brothers, let’s be good brothers.
How can you mess things up after marriage when you didn't try your best before marriage?
The original body hurriedly stepped forward to stop them and not allow them to meet again.
Song Wan and Ning Zhen were shocked, and began to argue that they were just close friends and that their relationship had transcended the boundaries of love between men and women, and asked the original owner not to defile them with dirty thoughts.
To transcend the love between men and women is to hug each other!
The original person refused to believe it and said that if they continued to meet, he would make the matter public!
The situation between him and Song Wan became increasingly tense. Finally, when he turned around to leave, Song Wan actually attacked him and hit him hard on the back of the head with a stone. He died just like that!
After becoming a spirit, what made the original body even more sad was that after being panicked and grief-stricken, Ning Zhen still chose to help Song Wan cover up the crime and turned the original body's death into an unsolved case.
Not long after, Zhao Ruowang died of a serious illness due to his ridiculous behavior!
Ning Zhen and he had no children, and Ning Zhen's non-competitive character won the Zhao family some favor. They probably didn't want to support her as a widow anymore, so they simply allowed her to remarry.
So, she happily married Song Wan, and the lovers finally got married, and their life was so happy.
When Ning Ning traveled through time, the Zhao family had asked the official matchmaker to discuss the betrothal gift.
In the original plot, of course the original person couldn't stand it, and stood up for Ning Zhen, saying that the betrothal gift was so simple and meager that it was clearly an slap in the face of the Ning family.
If the Zhao family wants to cancel the engagement, just say so. If they don't want to, then they should follow the rules. Otherwise, we will make it public and let everyone judge for themselves.
The official matchmaker was so embarrassed that she told the Zhao family about it. The Zhao family had no choice but to increase the betrothal gift and do everything according to the rules.
The original body also advised Ning Zhen that it would be better for her not to marry into the family and to find a family with a good family tradition in the future.
But Ning Zhen refused and insisted on keeping her promise, so the original body had no choice but to help her.
Since the core has been replaced and Ning Ning has come through, he certainly won't speak for Ning Zhen.
Even Ning Zhen's maid Ying'er was punished by him for complaining.
Aren’t you as indifferent as a chrysanthemum? I will make you completely indifferent.
In this way, Ning Ning arranged everything according to the date and got Ning Zhen married.
Anyway, Ning Zhen’s dowry had been prepared since she was a child, so she just needed to put it in order.
Ning Ning did not try her best to help her add more dowry and save face like in the original plot, hoping that she would have more money in her husband's family.
Anyway, she doesn't care about money, and the dowry should be relative to the betrothal gift.
It's impossible that the betrothal gift is only 500 taels, but the Ning family wants to give a large dowry.
Just like that, Ning Zhen was taken away with much fanfare, and Ning Ning also held a banquet at home to entertain the guests.
He didn't deliberately ask how Ning Zhen was doing, but the scene when she returned home three days later proved everything.
Zhao Ruowang said he was not feeling well and did not accompany her back.
The servants congratulated her and left. Ning Zhen still looked like a cold and calm beauty, but Ying'er started wiping away her tears.
"Master, please help our young mistress and say something, otherwise she will be bullied to death! Before my uncle got married, he had two concubines. On the wedding night, he asked them to pay their respects to our young mistress, saying that they had served her for many years and it was not easy. Since they are already married, they will be officially concubines in the future. Listen, how can someone say this on the wedding night!"
"Also, the next day, Madam Zhao asked our young mistress to set the rules, and gave two maids to her son-in-law. Our young mistress had just entered the house, and there were already several concubines standing in the house, and each of them had a background in the Zhao family. How could our young mistress live like this?"
Ning Ning got angry and slammed the table and stood up.
"unacceptable!"
"Master, you are right, they are going too far!"
Ning Ning then pointed at her, "I mean you've gone too far! You're just a servant, who allowed you to talk about your master so carelessly! Did my sister tell you to say those things just now?"
"No, no, it's just that I can't stand it..."
"What qualifications do you have to be upset? Having three wives and four concubines is common. My sister is not the type to care about that. She doesn't care. How can you, a servant, gossip about it? If others hear it, they will question the family tradition of our Ning family! Sister, I think it's better to send her back!"
Ning Zhen was stunned, "A Ning, why are you..."
She couldn't say anything, and her expression was indescribable.
Ning Ning was puzzled. "Sister, what do you have to say? Are you also dissatisfied with your brother-in-law taking in a few more concubines?"
"No, I don't mean that. Those women are also miserable people. Following your husband can be considered a stable life. In the future, we sisters can keep each other company and keep each other warm."
"I feel relieved when you say that, sister. Besides, it's not appropriate for me, an outsider, to interfere in your affairs! The Zhao family is a family with rules, and they would not do such a thing as favoring a concubine and destroying a wife."
Just like that, this complaint was also sent back.
Ning Zhen returned to the Zhao family and lived a secluded life, but no one supported her, and she was unwilling to stand up for herself. She was always stepped on by the concubines, and Mrs. Zhao did everything she could to control her, and soon she couldn't make any progress.
So she took advantage of Ning Ning's birthday and went back to her parents' home in the name of celebrating her birthday.
Ning Ning saw her and continued, "Sister, you are already married and belong to the Zhao family. You don't have to come back often. I'm young and I don't want to celebrate my birthday. There's no need to come back and forth."
Ning Zhen stared at him and moved her mouth, but she didn't say anything. She just looked at him with a gaze that seemed to have thousands of words. She wished Ning Ning would ask her quickly so that she could pour out her grievances.
But Ning Ning didn't understand, and waved her hand in front of her eyes, "Sister, why are you in a daze? Are you too sleepy? If you have nothing to do, go back quickly, so that your brother-in-law won't worry about you."
Ning Zhen: ...You did this on purpose?!
Ying'er understood what she meant best and knelt down with a plop.
"Master, I know you don't want to hear this, but I have to tell you. Our young mistress will soon have trouble living like this! Please save her!"
Ning Ning raised her eyebrows, "Oh, what do you mean? Could it be that the Zhao family can really let you go hungry and sleep cold?"
Ying'er, "That's not the case, but Madam Zhao asked the young mistress to be the housekeeper, but she didn't really give her much power. She just asked her to use her own dowry to make up for the shortfall. The young mistress didn't have much dowry to begin with, and if things continue like this, the Zhao family will take it all away."
