Chapter 486 Sister is Real Gold (4)
In the original plot, the original body and Ning's father had never heard of this matter. Of course, they would not pay attention to it even if they heard it.
So, Ning Ning came in and clarified the misunderstanding, and then took Ning Ran away.
Ning Ran followed him nervously, "Brother, where are we going?"
"Take you out for a walk."
"But--"
"No buts."
Ning Ning took her to the most famous Jinyi Building in the city first, took her measurements in the inner hall, and ordered various clothes, more than a hundred pieces in total.
Seeing that a big business had come, the shopkeeper smiled so much that his teeth were showing. "My Lord, the other clothes in the shop are all being processed quickly and will be finished in a few days. However, these fox fur winter clothes you ordered will take a little longer. Anyway, the weather is still warm now and there is no rush to wear winter clothes. Can you give the shop a few more days?"
"There's really no rush to put it on. You don't have to rush, but you must do the work carefully."
"Don't worry, the craftsmanship of our embroiderers is famous throughout the city, and they will definitely satisfy the prince and the young lady."
"Well, that's good."
Ning Ran was almost dumbfounded, and whispered to Ning Ning, "Brother, how much silver does this cost?"
"Oh, don't worry about the money. Young girls should wear more bright and decent clothes. Come with me."
Ning Ning took her to the Treasure House again, where she ordered several sets of high-quality headwear, which made Ning Ran almost dizzy.
Before he could react, Ning Ning took him to a private room in Zhenxiu Building and ordered a table of first-class banquet. "I'm hungry after walking around. Let's not go back to the mansion for dinner. Let's eat here. The chef here is very famous. All the dishes I ordered are his specialties. You can try them. If you like them, come here often. I have booked this private room. You can come directly."
"Well, brother, I, I don't dare to go out, for fear that people will say that I don't know the rules and bring shame to my family..."
Ning Ning sighed, "The rules are only for public use. They are not so strict in private. You will understand them after you have seen them many times. If you are still worried, I can ask someone to find a reliable nanny for you. It will be fine if you learn more. Okay, start eating. I just brought you out to relax. Now you are not in the mansion, so you don't have to be restrained."
As she spoke, Ning Ning picked up a piece of food for her with chopsticks and said, "Try it, it tastes good."
"Thank you, brother."
Ning Ran swallowed the food gently, lowered his head and said softly.
She was not favored in the Zhang family, and she was always trembling with fear when she returned to the Marquis' Mansion. She was even more sad when she was disliked by Ning's mother. Today was the first time she felt the warmth of her family.
"This is what I should do as a brother. You don't have to tell me otherwise. Over the years, the mansion owed you a debt, so you don't have to be too cautious. Just be brave."
After bringing Ning Ran back home, the housekeeper was waiting anxiously at the door. When he saw Ning Ning, his eyes lit up, "My Lord, you are finally back. The Marquis is not in a good mood, and he told you to go to the study to see him as soon as you get back."
"Brother, is this me..."
Don't ask, Ning Ran is worried again.
Ning Ning waved her hand, "It has nothing to do with you, go back and rest first, I'll go see my father now."
When they arrived at the study, Father Ning said with a sullen face, "Ning Ning, you are really becoming more and more successful. You actually contradicted your mother?"
"Dad, I am innocent."
Ning Ning spilled the beans from a bamboo tube, telling what happened yesterday, "No matter what, Ning Ran is your biological daughter, my biological sister. She has changed her surname back. You are going to open the ancestral hall and write her name on it. She has embarrassed herself outside, but it is still the people of the Marquisate who are embarrassed. Besides, she has suffered a lot in the Zhang family over the years. We should compensate her well after we bring her back. How can we let the servants humiliate her!"
Father Ning frowned, "I also heard about this from your mother, but this is the servant's fault. She also beat that Liu Ma and drove the whole family out of the house. It has nothing to do with your mother, and even less with Ke'er. How could you contradict your mother and give Ke'er a hard time!"
"The servants are all opportunists. If she didn't think that it was okay to show displeasure to Ning Ran and that it would be effective to please Ning Ke'er, why would she do this? Who made her see this direction of the wind? Ning Ke'er is not an ignorant child. Her mother just made a top-quality kingfisher headpiece for Ning Ran, but she didn't wear it. Then her housekeeper brought such a headpiece to please Ning Ke'er. How could she not know what was going on? But she accepted it with a clear conscience. I'm afraid this thought should really be put out in the sun to dry!"
"You mean Ke'er... This shouldn't be the case. After all, Ke'er grew up in the mansion. After we found out that we took her away by mistake, we didn't have the heart to send her back. We have been so kind to her, how could she hold a grudge against us!"
Ning Ning curled her lips. Here it comes again. Although Ning's father and Ning Ke'er were not particularly affectionate, no one was willing to admit that they had made a mistake, especially when it came to a child they had raised for many years. Saying that she was not good was like slapping themselves in the face.
Forget it, take your time.
"But I heard that the Zhang family really doesn't treat Ning Ran very well. If we had met later, the Zhang family would have married her to a widower who slaughters pigs. It is said that the widower has a bad temper and often beats his previous daughter-in-law. She had two miscarriages and was later beaten to death. He gave a lot of money to the daughter-in-law's family to keep them quiet. I heard that he could give a lot of betrothal gifts, so the Zhang family decided to marry Ning Ran to him."
"Is there such a thing?!"
"Of course, we recognized each other. The Zhang family was afraid of angering us, so they kept their mouths shut and never mentioned it in front of us. Just think about it, your own flesh and blood was almost ruined like this. If we treat Ning Ke'er better than Ning Ran, wouldn't we be laughed at by outsiders?"
Father Ning's eyes darkened. "Then what do you think we should do? We have already agreed to keep Ke'er here to raise her. There is no reason to send her back. Besides, your mother won't agree to it."
"It's okay to keep her. Anyway, we don't need to raise one more person in our mansion. As long as she behaves well, it's fine. But we must make it clear what our status is. She is an adopted daughter, and Ning Ran is the only young lady in the mansion. Also, her last name should be changed back. Otherwise, the Zhang family will think that we are too domineering, stealing their child and not letting their child recognize their ancestors."
"Well, what you said does make sense. I will write Ran'er's name in the family tree and replace Ke'er with hers. Let's change her last name back."
In fact, the Zhang family didn’t care at all about Ning K’er’s last name. They had been down and out for so long that they had lost all shame. Anyway, Ning K’er was a girl, so what did it matter what her last name was!
Having the surname Ning could have helped her get closer to the Ning family, but Ning Ning shattered her dreams and finalized her status, so that she could no longer deliberately confuse others.
