Chapter Thirty-One Everything Happened at Once

  As soon as she turned the screen, she saw an old lady named Jiang sitting opposite a beautiful woman of about thirty years old. Beside her, a little girl was getting up timidly. The beautiful woman also made a gesture to get up, but was stopped by Old Lady Jiang, who laughed and said: "They are all your juniors, how can you have the courtesy to see them off?"

  The Ning sisters all came forward to pay their respects to Ning Yulan, who hastily smiled and said "please get up". She was a proud person by nature, and although she had fallen on hard times and come to her mother's house for refuge, she still didn't want to be looked down upon by her sisters-in-law. Fortunately, her dowry had been generous, so it hadn't been confiscated as ill-gotten gains. As she had also prepared gifts, she now distributed them among her sisters.

  Bai Cai Zhi then walked over, and Ning Fen Mei, Ning Fen Yue, and the others all gathered around her, holding her hand affectionately and calling her "sister". As it turned out, Bai Cai Zhi was five days younger than Ning Fen Bi, so except for Seventh Young Lady Ning Fen Luo, she had to call everyone else "older sister".

  Once the sisters got familiar with each other, the atmosphere became much more harmonious.

  Ning Feng's icy gaze fell upon Bai Cai Zhi, who looked weak and timid, her head slightly bowed as she responded to her sisters' questions with monosyllabic answers, her heart filled with unknown emotions.

  She was once one of them, but unfortunately this sister had a hard life. Even later when she followed herself into the Wang Fu, even knowing that Shen Qianshan's true love was her, even as one thing after another made her realize that this cousin was not as weak as she seemed on the surface, she still didn't hate her much, until the moment before her death, Bai Cai Zhi personally said that her own death was because she had been given slow-acting poison by her.

  This hatred is indescribable, sometimes enemies can resolve their grievances, but the betrayal and harm from loved ones and friends will never end. Fortunately, she is not a child, so she can face all this calmly, calmly watching the scene of family reunion, sisters and brothers in harmony.

  While pondering in her mind, suddenly she saw the little maid Xiaocao walk in and kneel down on the ground, saying: "Reporting to Old Lady, First Lady, Second Lady, Third Lady, and Auntie, the Shen gentleman from the Ruiqin Prince's mansion and Wang Fei Niangniang as well as Xue Fu Ren are personally coming to our mansion to thank Third Master. The master is currently receiving them in the front courtyard, so please hurry over, Third Master. Also, the ladies should prepare to welcome the guests, as Wang Fei Niangniang and Xue Fu Ren are heading this way."

  The hall was silent for a moment, and then Old Lady Jiang and Madame Qu couldn't help but show their joyful expressions. Old Lady Jiang immediately turned to Third Elder, who was sitting beside her, and said: "Quickly, Third Brother, go to the front courtyard to receive Prince Wang." Because Ning De Rong was already advanced in age, there was no need to avoid suspicion, so he also came over to see his niece and grandniece, but unexpectedly encountered this scene.

  As soon as Ning Feng heard that the princess and Mrs. Xue had arrived, her heart couldn't help but thump wildly, thinking to herself, "That scoundrel Shen Qianshan doesn't know if he's coming or not?" If he did come, it would be perfect for him to meet Bai Cai Zhi, hmm, I'll just make way for them.

  Thinking of this, she quietly pulled Yu's sleeve and whispered: "Mother, I feel a bit uncomfortable, I want to go back and lie down."

  If it were usual, Yu Shi would naturally put her daughter first. However, perhaps because of the current situation, she has become more resolute and strong-willed. Upon hearing her daughter's words, she spoke softly: "What's wrong? Bear with it for a bit, this is Princess Wang after all. Even if you don't want to see people, you can't lose your manners."

  She stared blankly, her eyes wide with shock, thinking to herself: "Mom, how can you become so selfish? Waaahhh... You weren't like this before! You used to be so loving towards me! This trick always worked before, but suddenly it doesn't work anymore. How am I supposed to change my ways in such a short time?"

  She was secretly howling in her heart, quickly thinking of another excuse to slip out, when she heard Old Lady Jiang say: "Let's go and welcome Princess Wang..." Before the words were even finished, a little maid outside called out cheerfully: "Princess Rui, Madame Xue and Third Master Shen have arrived."

  The door curtain was lifted, and two beautiful young women walked in, surrounded by more than a dozen maidservants. All of them had kindly smiles on their faces. One of them was followed by a handsome boy. Who else could it be but Shen Qianshan?

  Mrs. Jiang hastily came forward, saying: "What's going on? How did the princess and madam arrive so suddenly? I was just about to go out and greet them." She then prepared to kneel down.

  But then the wise princess supported him and said repeatedly, "Oh my, how dare you do this? You are an old nobleman and a senior, besides, we came here today to thank you, why should the host family bow to us?"

  She was the king's consort, and Madame Xue also had a first-class imperial edict. In this hall, except for Old Lady Jiang, even Madame Qu was only a fourth-class imperial edict, so everyone still bowed down.

  After the two sides exchanged greetings, Old Lady Jiang invited Rui Wangfei and Xue Furen to take their seats, but they refused to do so no matter what. In the end, it was Old Lady Jiang who took the main seat, with Rui Wangfei sitting across from her, and Xue Furen sitting below Rui Wangfei. Everyone else stood at this time.

  After sitting down, Princess Rui said: "I heard that your family's aunt is back today, it's a time for the whole family to reunite. We came at an inopportune moment." After finishing speaking, Old Lady Jiang hurriedly said she didn't dare, then Princess Rui looked around at the people below and smiled: "So many well-behaved children, the old lady is very fortunate."

  Old Lady Jiang looked at her lively granddaughters and couldn't help but feel proud. Hearing the queen's intention was to meet them, she let all the girls come forward.

  Everyone had met before, and Rui Wangfei and Xue Furen also exchanged gifts. Xue Furen took Bai Caiqi's hand and smiled: "What a lovely and delicate little girl, I see that 'beauty' was originally meant for girls like you." As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Rui Wangfei chuckle and say: "Of course, or is it meant for old women like me?"

  Everyone was busy with their heads down, desperately holding back their laughter. Ning Fengbi, however, was confused and thought carefully about her past life, where she was 200% certain that there was no such plot in her previous life.

  Originally, it was only right for the Third Elder Master Ning to save the life of the Grand Princess. In the previous lifetime, the Rui Wang Fu had merely sent Shen Qianshan with a gift of gratitude; as a royal family, they were entitled to put on airs. How... how could it be that in this lifetime, not only did they confer the title of Imperial Prince, but they also became even more unpretentious?

  It was just when she couldn't figure it out that she felt a warmth in her wrist, and then Mrs. Xue pulled her to the front, smiling and saying: "This should be Liu Niang who was with Old Master Ning that day, right? Qian Shan praised you highly when he returned, saying that although Liu Niang is young, she has a kind heart as a doctor, and is very gentle and lovely."
