Chapter 610 The Couple Sings in Unison

Shen Ningning got off the carriage and looked up at the lintel of Ren Mansion, which was close at hand.

It is worthy of being the residence of a prefect. The red paint on the door is brand new, the rivets have been gilded with gold, the tiles on the roof shine as if they have been washed, and the two stone lions at the door are powerful and fierce.

The wet nurse led the way: "Miss, please come in with the old slave."

Shen Ningning lowered her head and saw red shredded paper all over the ground. They were the embers left by the firecrackers that had just been set off in this house, and the servants were cleaning them.

Mo Ling asked casually as if he was in danger: "I heard that it is a local custom in Lingshan City to fire thousands of cannons when welcoming a daughter back home. Is this already done in advance? How do they know when we will arrive?"

Hearing this, the wet nurse was quite embarrassed and hurriedly explained: "Master and the others don't know that the eldest lady is here today. This cannon was fired to welcome the second lady back home."

Shen Ningning pretended to be surprised: "Oh? It turns out that the second sister is also coming back today?"

The wet nurse hummed, and a figure from far away rushed towards her: "Yue'er, you are finally back!"

The servants around immediately greeted the master and his wife.

Shen Ningning raised her eyes and saw that Prefect Ren had a big belly. Mrs. Ren beside him had her eyes raised. In addition to looking at her, there was also a hint of meanness in her eyes.

"Father..." Shen Ningning held back her nausea and called with tears in her eyes. She looked like she was about to cry, which made her originally delicate face even more delicate and beautiful.

Not only were the servants around him stunned, but even the prefect showed some surprise.

Is this his eldest daughter?

"Yue'er, why are you back alone? Where are the servants I sent to pick you up? Are these lazy people neglecting you?" There was a hint of suspicion in Mrs. Ren's eyes, and she stepped forward with concern. He asked, holding Shen Ningning's hand.

As soon as she said this, Shen Ningning burst into tears.

"Father, my husband and I almost died when we came back to see you!" She concealed the fact that she was assassinated by a servant on the road, and changed her story to: "The carriage on the road suddenly changed directions for some reason and almost fell off the cliff. My husband and I narrowly escaped death. , Fortunately, I fell into the pool, and after finally climbing up, I couldn’t find the servants.”

Prefect Ren and Mrs. Ren looked at each other.

"So it's like this. You suffered along the way." Prefect Ren was filled with emotion. Then, he looked at Mo Lingwei with a sharp look: "Although you have protected Yue'er, it doesn't mean that I will approve what you did. My son-in-law, if I hadn’t been busy with official duties at the time, I wouldn’t have agreed to anything when you got married!”

Mrs. Ren tried to smooth things over: "Okay, sir, Yue'er and my uncle finally escaped death and went home to be reunited. You should be happy. Don't say such things, Yue'er must be so sad."

Prefect Ren nodded along with her words: "For Yue'er's sake, you can stay in the house for the time being."

Mo Lingwei's sword-shaped eyebrows were like black feathers, and his thin eyes were as heavy as frost blades. He did not speak, and only raised his eyebrows slightly.

For some reason, even a seasoned official like Ren Taishou felt a strong sense of pressure.

How could an ordinary teacher be so calm and fierce?

Prefect Ren said: "I still have something to do in the yamen. I have to go back and deal with it. Yue'er, if you have any questions, please contact your mother. I will come back in the evening and we will all have a reunion dinner together to cleanse you from the dust."

Shen Ningning knew that what he said was an excuse. He would go out now to find out where the servants who had been sent out had gone.

Mo Lingwei had already had her hands and feet cleaned along the way. She nodded weakly, and Prefect Ren left in a hurry.

As soon as he left, Mrs. Ren changed into a smiling face.

"Yue'er, Yue'er, they all say that women undergo a major transformation, and it turns out it's true. Look at you, you look so good that I can't even recognize you."

Shen Ningning blinked her long eyelashes and asked, "Have Mrs. Ren and I met before?"

Mrs. Ren was not surprised that she didn't call her mother, because if Ren Liuyue had a crush on her, it would be a ghost!

When Ren Liuyue's maternal grandfather was still alive, she kept saying that she was a mistress of a fox, which ruined her first wife's family.

So Ren Liuyue has been influenced by her since childhood, how could he not hate her?

Hearing Shen Ningning's attitude, Mrs. Ren gave a false smile: "I've never seen her before, but I heard the maids in the mansion describe your mother as beautiful and quiet, but not as good as you."

Shen Ningning nodded slowly: "Maybe I will follow my grandfather's side?"

This was said so rudely that Mrs. Ren could hardly hold back her smile.

She turned to ask Mo Lingwei.

"Is everything okay at home? I heard that your mother was seriously ill a few years ago and had no money for medical treatment. At that time, Yue'er wrote a letter to ask for help, but the ignorant concierge withdrew it. She thought it was someone outside who wanted her. As for the blackmail, I found out later that it was true. I couldn't help you. It has always been the master's worry. I also regret it. The concierge was also punished. I just don't know. Has your mother been cured? "

Mo Lingwei said in a cold tone: "Dead."

Mrs. Ren asked knowingly.

In order to treat Fang Huan's mother, Ren Liuyue didn't have much money, so she wrote to her father for help for the first time in more than ten years.

Unexpectedly, I didn't wait for a response.

Later, Ren Liuyue sold off the property left by her grandfather to collect enough money, but Fang Huan's mother was still too ill and unable to save her life.

At this moment, when Mrs. Ren mentioned it, she didn't take Fang Huan's background seriously at all, and she even wanted to give Ren Liuyue a blow.

However, Shen Ning would rather not let Liu Yue, let alone let others bully her.

This is especially true for Mo Lingwei.

He said in a normal tone: "Everyone is bound to die. Madam Ren looks old. You should take good care of yourself. Don't let the disease come too suddenly without any preparation."

Madam Ren's face twisted when she heard this.

Is this poor teacher cursing her? !

She looked angry and wanted to get angry, but Shen Ningning rushed to her side and stared at her face carefully.

"Oh, it seems that what my husband said is right, Madam Ren, you have a lot of wrinkles on your face, but this is not the most important thing. I see why your forehead is black. Have you seen a doctor recently?"

Mo Lingwei: "Black forehead? Then you should be more careful. My mother was... Oh, let's not talk about it."

The two of them talked one by one, making Madam Ren's face pale.

"You...you don't have to talk so scary. The doctor comes to check my pulse every now and then. Besides, the fortune teller says that I have a long life and good fortune, and the kind of thing you said will never happen...Okay, this is the courtyard where you live. If you need anything, tell the maid to come to me." Mrs. Ren said, and turned and left in a hurry.

Shen Ningning guessed that she must be scared, and a snicker flashed in the depths of her watery eyes.

Mo Lingwei took her hand and looked at the small courtyard in front of him: "You will suffer. Living in a place like this is as small as a mouse house."

Shen Ningning blinked: "Is this place still small?"

But on second thought, compared with his Zichen Palace, it really is nothing.

The two of them went into the house together.

The two sisters Ren Er and Ren San, who were hiding behind the tree at the gate of the courtyard, were both shocked by her beauty.

"That... that person is Ren Liuyue? The one next to him is her husband?"

Ren San was shocked: "How come she is so beautiful? I always thought Fang Huan was a poor scholar with a pale face and skinny body, but I didn't expect him to be so handsome..."

Ren Er was the most surprised.

Her husband is short and fat like a pig, but Ren Liuyue's husband is so handsome? !
