Chapter 779: The Generals Residence Will Be Fine

Ning Shu rode her own horse as she led along An Yous horse. An You was lying unconsciously on the horses back. Ning Shu swung the horse whip in annoyance and it hit An You hard.

He was seriously irritating. How did such an extreme person exist?

An You gave a m.u.f.fled groan due to pain, but he still didnt wake up.

When they got back to the generals residence, the old madame was waiting for them anxiously. When she saw that An You was unconscious, her facial color worsened. Ning Shu explained, Grandmother, An You was trying to break into the palace, so I had someone knock him out.

Ning Shu didnt want to tell the old madame that she was the one who knocked him out.

The old madame sighed, then had servants get An You off the horse and carry him back to his room. She said to Ning Shu, Lingxian, what you did was right.

As of now, you and I are only ones that the residence can rely on. The old madame grabbed Ning Shus hand and patted it. An You is truly blessed to have a wife like you.

Hes blessed? But An You truly was ignorant of how blessed he was.

That was why it was so ironic. It was supposed to be the men who protected the family and sheltered them from storms. They were supposed to show filial respect towards their elders and educate their children, but in this residence, it was the women that had to support the family.

Crazy men were truly scary.

The reason why she was able to remain so calm was because she didnt love these people, so her heart wasnt disturbed at all. People who fell into the whirlpool of emotions would lose all rationality.

Ning Shu said to the old madame, The generals residence will be fine.

The old madame had been worrying too much lately. She was exhausted and barely had any energy, but An You didnt see any of that.

Ning Shu walked into the room. She saw that An You was lying on the bed with tears in the corners of his eyes. She snorted, then undid An Yous clothes, flipped him around, and used an acupuncture needle to stab his waist area again.

An Yu gave a pained, m.u.f.fled groan and his body became covered with sweat. Ning Shu expressionlessly pulled out the needle, dressed him again, then locked the door.

During dinner, Ning Shu and the old madame were the only ones at the table. The old madame sighed, then said, You should let Lingyun out.

Ning Shu put down her chopsticks and said respectfully to the old madame, Mother, Lingyuns no longer a child, but shes still so ignorant of the world. If she marries into her in-laws family like this, the marriage probably wouldnt establish friendly relations.h.i.+ps and would only establish hatred. How could she be so ignorant how her act of letting her father out would bring calamity onto the generals residence?

The old madame sighed, then waved her hand as she said exhaustedly, Then just do whatever you think is best.

Ning Shu saw that the old madame didnt want to eat anymore even though she had barely eaten anything, so she ladled a bowl of soup to pa.s.s to her. Mother, drink some soup, alright? Its bad for your health if you dont eat anything.

Ning Shu truly didnt want anything to happen to the old madame. The old madame was a genuine n.o.blewoman of the feudal era. There were some things in which she still needed the old madames advice on.

Although this body was that of a generals wife, in front of the imperial family, it was nothing.

The old madame only drank half the bowl of soup before she stopped and went back to her own room to rest.

Ning Shu went to the ancestral hall to check on An Lingyun. The door opened with a creak and revealed the dim room. An Lingyun wasnt kneeling on the ground and was sitting on the praying mat. When she saw Ning Shu walk in, she hastily asked, Mother, are you here to let me out?

Ning Shu closed the door, then looked at An Lingyun as she asked, Do you realize your mistake now?

Mother. An Lingyun tried to childishly tug at Ning Shus sleeve, but Ning Shu avoided her and just looked at her coldly.

An Lingyun looked at her mothers face that was faintly illuminated by the flickering candles and saw that her eyes were scarily indifferent. An Lingyun felt very wronged. Mother, you dont love Lingyun anymore.

Ning Shu took a deep breath, then said mildly, I asked you a question: do you realize your mistakes now?

I, I understand my mistakes! said An Lingyun quickly. Mother, can you let me out?
