Chapter 1807 Just cause and effect 6.0

After listening to Mrs. Ning's words, the three of them looked at each other, and they all thought silently in their hearts that Mrs. Ning, who was born in the Langya Wang family, is indeed extraordinary.

Now think about it, Ning Cheng and sister Ning Cheng can take her and a child into the Shen Jiajun dungeon without arousing anyone's suspicion, and pretend to be crazy and act stupid to see if the Shen Jiajun is really reliable. Such a person, if If placed in the court, it should not be underestimated.

Shen Cha looked at the frail, gentle but elegant old lady in front of her. Although the years had left faint traces on her face, and although she had experienced many things that ordinary people could not bear, this person had learned from her. Externally, he still maintains the inner pride of being a member of a big clan.

She thought about it, and if the wife of the Ning family hadn't saved her mother's life, if it weren't for the family's arrangements, if it weren't for the interests involved, she would never have agreed to marrying Ning Changguo.

However, it was just such a girl who could come up with such conditions and slap the self-righteous Chaozhou Ning family.

Xue Ruitian touched his chin, looked at Mrs. Ning, and said with a smile, "I can imagine that people in the Ning family are not willing to see Mrs. Ning. Although they are related by marriage, they always feel that they are inferior. Even if Ning Changguo later died, The feeling of being in a high position still hasn't gone away, right? In the eyes of the old lady, they are actually no different from the nouveau riche, right?"

"Basically, you are right. Not all families in the south of the Yangtze River can be called clans or noble families. Although the Ning family in Chaozhou has a history of a hundred years, their behavior does not deserve to be called a clan at all. , a distinguished family.”

"I agree with this." Xue Ruitian agreed with Mrs. Ning's statement, "Ever since the so-called magical power of Ning Chang Kingdom came out, the Ning family no longer knows who they are."

"Not only that, but their family also cooperates with the Qinglian Sect. I don't know what kind of pie the Qinglian Sect has drawn for them. They believe it. They feel that the Qinglian Sect can definitely keep its promise and lead them to the top. Therefore, any No one is in their eyes. This is not at all in line with the style of a clan or a distinguished family. Not only do I look down on them, there are many people in Jiangnan who look down on them." Mrs. Ning raised her eyebrows and looked at her. Xue Ruitian said, "As you just said, they wanted to show off their power in front of me, but I didn't give them this opportunity, which made them very unhappy."

"They don't have a place to show off their power. I'm not very unhappy." Xue Ruitian shook his head gently, "The ladies of the Ning family are also talented girls from Qingliu family. It's really unimaginable that they ended up being so snobbish."

"That's right." A sly smile appeared on Mrs. Ning's face, and she continued, "Their snobbishness became more and more obvious after Ningchang's official career became prosperous. Every time she comes to see me, that face is really noticeable. It goes without saying that they have also gone to school. They are saying inside and outside that the Wang family has declined, the Wang family is no longer good, and the Wang family can only show off its power in its own one-third of an acre of land."

"This is how you judge others by yourself. If you are snobbish, you also think others are snobbish, right?"

"Yes!" Mrs. Ning nodded lightly, "Especially after they hooked up with the Lu family in Songjiang Prefecture, the feeling of being a villain became more obvious. Unfortunately, although the young lady from the Lu family married into the Ning family,

But they didn't let their family take any advantage. The Lu family didn't take them seriously at all. They wanted to use the Lu family to destroy the prestige of the Wang family and put pressure on the Wang family, but they still failed."

"Old madam, you mean..." Xue Ruitian frowned slightly, "They don't have a very good relationship with their in-laws over there?"

"This matter is even more interesting when it comes to talking about it. Do you want to hear it?" Seeing the three people nodding frequently, Mrs. Ning smiled, "Well, these things have been pressing in my heart for so many years.

No one is listening, so it would be nice to tell you." She thought for a moment, "If we talk seriously, the Wang and Lu families are somewhat related. The mother of the second Miss Lu's family is my mother's niece.

However, when it comes to bloodline, we are already very far apart, so let’s just discuss it ourselves.”

"It seems that the relationship between Jiangnan's prominent families is also very complicated!"

"One description is that they are intricately connected. Jiangnan is such a big place, and there are only a few big families. It is normal for them to be related to each other." Mrs. Ning nodded, looked at the three people, and explained, "

A prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River does not only refer to the so-called clan, nor does it only refer to a scholarly family with only scholars. In fact, the scope is wider. The Qinglian Sect believes that it can fool some so-called Qingliu people into doing things for it.

It is a complete idiot's dream to make Jiangnan's famous families surrender to the enemy."

"Well..." Shen Cha smiled sheepishly and looked at Mrs. Ning, "Actually, we think so too."

"This is the consistent thinking of most people in the world." Mrs. Ning took a sip of water and said, "The big families in Jiangnan are relatively evenly distributed, and they are mainly composed of scholars, martial artists, and merchants. Scholars refer to civil servants.

, Wu is the general, Shang is the big merchants, this is the core of the clan. But because in the past two hundred years, scholars have been the most prominent, so everyone has ignored Wu and Shang."

"The old lady also said just now that big clans like Wang and Xie have been raising soldiers in the past two hundred years."

"Yes!" Mrs. Ning nodded, "Even many scholars in Jiangnan think that as long as they study hard, take the imperial examination, and become an official, that is the right path, and everything else is not worth mentioning, but in fact

, without Wu and Shang, it is absolutely impossible to gain a foothold in the court just by relying on words and articles."

"I'm afraid most people don't understand this truth. Even the adults who currently stand at the top of the civil service can't figure it out."

"No, General." Mrs. Ning shook her head gently, "They know it very well, but they are just unwilling to say it. Once this fact is told, the status of civil servants will be shaken and their prestige will be gone. This kind of damage

They will not do things that benefit themselves and others." She looked at the three people in front of her and smiled, "Most of the scholars claim to be doing it for the sake of justice, but in fact they are doing it for themselves, making small calculations.

"

"So, the Lu family is..."

"Their family started as a businessman, and later some scholars gradually emerged, but the foundation is still a businessman. Just like the Qin family mentioned before, except that in the previous dynasty, the Lu family's business had been carried out secretly.

So many people think that the Lu family is also a Qingliu family that gives lectures." Madam Ning paused, "His family is different from other families. One very special thing is that the daughter's family has more active minds, and so do you.

You know, his family has produced several queens, all of whom were very accomplished, but the boy is not very outstanding."

"I've heard about it." Xue Ruitian nodded, "It's indeed very powerful."

"More than that, the people in power in the Lu family and those responsible for the secret business are all women. This has never changed after so many years."

"So that's it!"

"Yes!" Mrs. Ning nodded towards Xue Ruitian, "All the girls in the Lu family, except for a few who marry outside, most of them are looking for husbands. The standards are determined by the girls themselves. Even though they are girls You decide for yourself, but the conditions are quite harsh, no worse than mine. And the current head of the household is Miss Lu Er’s biological sister, and she also hired a son-in-law."

"Please wait a moment!" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Ningchang State intends to rebel and kill three tribes. Mrs. Ning's mother tribe is also among them. How to escape?"

"Your Majesty is generous and knows that the Lu family is not involved, and although the two families are not related by marriage, their relationship is not good, so you have issued a secret order to protect the lives of the entire Lu family." Mrs. Ning smiled at Shen Haolin and Chen Cha. She smiled and said, "You can ask your Majesty in person. The one who is really implicated is not the Lu family, but the Ning family of Chaozhou." She thought for a moment and sighed softly, "The Lu family moved in from Changzhou Prefecture incognito. Songjiang Mansion is what Your Majesty meant."

Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Xue Ruitian looked at each other. There must be some secrets here. Song Jue didn't tell them. There might be a reason not to tell them. Ask him later. If he is willing to say it, just say it. If he doesn't want to, it's okay. If you don't force him, who doesn't have a little secret?

"Don't think blindly. There are no little secrets or deals." Madam Ning smiled softly, "Have you forgotten the origin of the late emperor's noble lady?" She saw three people in front of her. Confused, she shook her head helplessly, "After all, you are also royal relatives, so you should pay more attention to your own affairs. Concubine Wan was born in the Lu family of Changzhou Prefecture. Calculating, she should be the cousin of Miss Lu Er. The second young lady is the eldest daughter, and Princess Wan is the only daughter of the third eldest daughter."

The three people looked at each other. If Mrs. Ning hadn't mentioned it, they really wouldn't have remembered where Mrs. Wan's hometown was.

"I just said, why does this Changzhou Prefecture Lu family sound so familiar to me? I always feel as if I have heard it somewhere before." Shen Cha was a little embarrassed. Every time she entered the palace, she would take the time to sit with Concubine Wan. The Concubine is fond of martial arts, so every time the two of them meet, they have to spar. Although Shen Cha won’t use all his strength, he can still make the Concubine happy for a while. "But the Concubine is fond of martial arts, which is not the case at all. A girl from Jiangnan, every time I see her, I feel like she comes from a distinguished family."

"That's because the third room is really good at martial arts. The concubine's mother has been fond of martial arts since she was a child. In that room, only the concubine's father is probably a real scholar."

"This is amazing!" Shen Cha nodded, "Because of the concubine, it makes sense that the Lu family is not implicated."

"There are so many twists and turns here that I can't tell clearly at the moment, but the factor of the Dowager Queen does account for a large part." Mrs. Ning smiled, "However, there is another point that the Lu family does not I don’t agree with Miss Lu Er’s marriage, no matter which room it is in, I am very opposed to it.”

"Objection? Why? In the eyes of the Lu family, the Ning family's family status is not high?"

"The Lu family are not that kind of people, they don't just care about family status." Mrs. Ning shook her head gently, "The person in charge of the Lu family now is Miss Lu Er's biological sister and my former handkerchief. She is mine. We have a good relationship, so she also knows some things about the Ning family. I also asked her to help me with the conditions I proposed. The original intention of both of us was to make the conditions as harsh as possible, so that we can achieve our withdrawal. The purpose of the marriage. Unexpectedly, the Ning family all agreed, which surprised us. From this, we can also conclude that the Chaozhou Ning family is a profit-seeking family with evil intentions. They must have hidden secrets. Otherwise , it is impossible for a normal family to accept such conditions."

"Later, the truth about the Ning family's work for the Qinglian Sect was exposed. They tricked the Wang family. Did the eldest lady of the Lu family also know about it?" Seeing Madam Ning nodding, Shen Cha thought for a moment, "Wait a minute. , there is a contradiction here, Ning Changguo was introduced to Miss Lu Er by the young master of the Lu family, is his brother trying to trick his sister?"

"Because he wants to stand out!" Madam Ning sneered, "Although the young master of the Lu family is good at learning, his knowledge and vision really follow the son-in-law who came to the door. They feel that the Lu family is not It should be in the hands of a woman. The two men only think about one thing every day, which is how to snatch the power of the family from their wife and mother. But they found an opportunity, which was to find a door for Miss Lu Er. A good marriage."

"This is my biological daughter, my biological sister, and this is how they plot it?"

"There's no point in plotting. Even if they have this intention, if Miss Lu Er doesn't agree, there's nothing they can do."

"Then their goal has been achieved. I heard that Miss Lu Er admires Ning Changguo very much."

"I've heard about this too. Miss Lu knew that her younger sister had fallen in love with my husband-in-law, so she came all the way from Changzhou to Songjiang. She told me about the bitterness for several days, saying that she never expected it. , the two people who were closest to me both fell into this Ningchang country."

"This statement is not accurate. The old lady was not in trouble, she was just forced to do so."

"I had no choice but to bear the name of a Ning family member!"

"Miss Lu and you are close friends. Didn't you tell Miss Lu that Ning Changguo was married a long time ago?"

"She knew it, but she also knew that we were in name only, so she didn't care at all. She told her sister that she liked Ning Changguo and was going to marry him, and the rest had nothing to do with her."

"This is someone else's fault." Shen Cha sighed softly, "Why is it that no matter how hard I try to persuade you, it doesn't work?"

"The Lu family has had many quarrels over this marriage, which has turned the world upside down, but to no avail. Miss Lu ignored the opposition of her family and insisted on marrying the talented man in her mind. There is a price to pay for this."

"What price?"

"General, what's the price? Cut off ties with the family!" Mrs. Ning smiled nonchalantly, "She has agreed on terms with her mother and sister. After she gets married, she will have nothing to do with the Lu family. No matter what difficulties she encounters in the future, she will never seek help from the Lu family, nor will she implicate the Lu family."

"Mrs. Lu and Miss Lu agreed?" Seeing Mrs. Ning nodding, Xue Ruitian sighed with emotion, "Miss Lu really paid a huge price for Ning Changguo. No wonder she was embarrassed by the Empress Dowager later.

, and refused to seek help from the Dowager Empress, so many of us didn’t quite understand that she and the Dowager Empress were cousins.”
