"I don't know much either. He probably won't tell you about your past even if you're sad. Ning'er, the heart is made of flesh and blood …"
"Alright, alright, I got it. He and I are a match made in heaven, is this alright?"
Although she said that, she felt that Dongfang Haotian was genuinely nice to her.
There weren't that many people waiting for her in the front hall, but all of them had gathered in the old lady's courtyard. They didn't say anything the moment they saw them come in.
This was what Dongfang Ning liked, but Dongfang Haotian was angry at the group of people.
"Why didn't you bow when you saw Grand Princess?"
"You want us to bow to her? We are clearly seniors, and she is a junior. It can't be that the Dongfang family doesn't even have this kind of rule, right? "
The one who spoke was the Qin Empress who was favored by the palace, Dongfang Yu. There was no empress in the Dongfang Nation from before, so she held the largest position here.
She stole a glance at Dongfang Ning while pretending to be calm as she started drinking her tea. In fact, she was panicking. This damned girl didn't seem to be injured. How was she going to sing the next scene?
"You are just a bed lass of my father. I am the only master here, why should I bow to you? Do you look like you're an elder? Have you ever cried for me in the three years I went missing?"
"Do you care about my father when he's so sick? If you care about him, why would he even care about making decent clothes?"
"Are you afraid that I'll discover something? Do you think it's worth it for me to pay respects to such an 'elder'?"
They were all looking forward to their own descendants now. Dongfang Yu was a dead end, who would really care about that heartless man just because that man gave his heart to another woman 20 years ago and didn't even have eyes for them …
"There's nothing to say. You guys aren't in a hurry because my dad is so sick. It's not the first time that Grandma has a headache, but you guys sent people over nervously to get a Godly Doctor. What's the purpose of that?"
At this moment, a green-clothed woman picked up a handkerchief and pressed it against her eyes.
"Ning'er, you haven't been home for a few years, so I don't blame you for not knowing much about the matters of the family. You've misunderstood us, the lord is ours, we don't care who he cares about. Sisters, tell him right?"
"That's right, that's right. Little girl, as soon as you returned, you started to criticize us …"
"Are you guys able to call her a girl?"
Dongfang Ning's tone suddenly changed, becoming icy once again. Everyone felt their hearts turn cold. What was this girl trying to do? Could she have discovered something that even the king didn't know? She already found out as soon as she came back?
Their guilty conscience caused them to stand in awe. "Long, Grand Princess, forgive us!"
"Let me tell you, although my father is sick, I can definitely cure him. During this period of time, if anyone dares to play tricks on me, I will definitely not let them off lightly!"
After Dongfang Ning finished speaking, she did not go to check on the old lady's illness but turned around to leave the courtyard.
"Ning'er, the Old Ancestor, she?"
"She's not sick, take me to see Dongfang Yu."
"Not sick?" Dongfang Haotian didn't ask this question, but followed behind her with a stern face. He didn't know much about Dongfang Yu's situation, how did Ning'er know that Dongfang Yu was not well and that the clothes he wore the day before yesterday were made?
"Wait a minute, Princess. The Old Ancestor has a terrible headache, why didn't you go and see her first? Could it be that you want her dead?"
"Which room are you a lady from? What intention do you have in cursing the Old Ancestor? "
Dongfang Ning stopped walking and turned around to look at him, "To say such words in front of me and Dongfang Haotian, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? Do you even have the status of a Dongfang family's daughter-in-law in your eyes? If I say she's not sick, don't you want to curse her to die?"
Dongfang Ning raised her voice, "The Old Ancestor was so good to you all, I wonder if she would be sad if she heard those words?"
"You … I didn't... You're saying she's not sick without even seeing her? I said the wrong thing in a moment of desperation. You can't leave the old ancestor alone, can you?!
Consort De took a long time to get back to her words. This girl, just a few words were enough to disrupt her train of thought. She really wasn't simple. Didn't the world say she wasn't good at speaking?
"Since you know that I'm a genius doctor, whether I'm sick or not is up to me. If the ancestor dies, it's you who poisoned him. Dongfang Haotian, let's go!"
When she saw that the old lady in the room was unable to hide and continued to feign illness, she was too lazy to continue acting.
Actually, she didn't even know what kind of conspiracy was involved. It was too easy to mess up the situation.
Inside the room, Mrs. Dong Elder Faang's face was extremely gloomy. The word 'poisoned' was like a needle that was stimulating her mood.
After being in the palace for so many years, she knew better than anyone how dark the harem was. Now, these women wanted to deal with her?
"Stop shouting, she said that if the Old Ancestor is not sick, then he is not. Do you really think that the Old Ancestor will be happy if he is not doing well?"
Madame Dongfang glared fiercely at the green-clothed woman. She was blaming her for not being able to speak and allowing that girl to seize any opportunity to speak without thinking.
The speaker might be unintentional, but the listener's feelings were completely different. Could it be that this girl could determine that the patient was poisoned without even looking at the patient?
No, he had to first cure the old lady of her poison secretly, otherwise, if he really was found out, the consequences would be dire.
Thinking of this, she told everyone to go back to their own rooms. There were some things that they could not rush, and they could not reveal even the slightest bit of information.
When they returned to their own courtyard, the first wife quickly asked her little girl, "Is Young Master still not back yet?"
"That's right, Madam. The person he sent out said that he hasn't been able to find Young Master for two days, and he didn't send a letter back to report his safety."
"Send the madame a bowl of ginseng soup and cure her poison. Don't let anyone see through it."
"Yes ~"
After the little girl left, she let out a sigh of relief. The main courtyard servant came to invite her, saying that Dongfang Ning had asked who had given the old master a meal and that the old master had been poisoned.
"You go back first and tell the princess that I'll be there in a moment!"
She fell back onto her chair. This little girl was not simple at all. After being poisoned for three years, she was able to tell at a glance. Then, why didn't she say that last time?
Perhaps she already had her suspicions last time and was struggling to find evidence. Hence, she decided to settle the score today. She had to find a scapegoat!
Dongfang Ning sat calmly in the main yard. Dongfang Yu had obviously been poisoned. Last time, she had been too trusting of the relationship between husband and wife to think about being poisoned. However, after today's incident, everything became much clearer.
Perhaps Dongfang Yu was really in so much pain from losing his beloved daughter that he wished he was dead. But after three years had passed, how could the mentality of an emperor not be able to endure this kind of change?
