The Marquis Yongning's Mansion.
Ning Fengnian and Yuan Qingrong had arranged for everyone to prepare sumptuous food and wine early, waiting for Ning Yuwan to return to her maiden's family.
The two couldn't help but worry. It was said that Yan Zhao was cold - hearted. They didn't know if their precious daughter had been bullied.
Ning Yuqin stood beside Yuan Qingrong carefully, gently and sensibly consoling her, "Mother, don't worry. Sister is blessed. The heir must treat her very well."
But in her heart, she was far from being as kind as she appeared on the surface. She was viciously cursing that Yan Zhao would better despise Ning Yuwan and make her into a human - skin lantern, and then come to the mansion to marry her instead.
Yuan Qingrong patted her hand, "I hope so."
On the wedding day, Ning Yuqin appeared in front of the guests in a wedding dress and was thought to be trying to take her sister's place to get married.
At that time, both Ning Fengnian and Yuan Qingrong were disappointed in her. Who would have thought that after she woke up yesterday, she knelt and cried for a whole day.
She said that she had been drugged and didn't know why she appeared in the main hall at that time, wearing the red wedding dress that only her elder sister could wear.
After all, she was their daughter who had been raised for more than a decade. Although they knew that she had a calculating mind, they really didn't believe that she would do such a wicked thing.
Although they still had doubts in their hearts, they half - forgave her.
Ning Yuqin was really smart. She specially found a doctor to prove her innocence, showing that she had really been drugged.
However, the doctor had been bribed by her. He didn't elaborate that it was an aphrodisiac, nor did he mention that her virginity had been broken.
Only then did Ning Fengnian and Yuan Qingrong completely trust her. They hugged her and said several times, "Yuqin has suffered."
Just as they were talking, the butler rushed in, "The eldest young lady and the son - in - law are back!"
Yuan Qingrong immediately let go of Ning Yuqin and patted her clothes up and down, "Yuqin, look. Is my makeup and clothes in a mess?"
Even Ning Fengnian came over with a smile, "Help your father take a look too. Is the beard that was just trimmed this morning in a mess?"
Ning Yuqin felt a little lost in her heart, but still said with a charming smile, "Mother is very beautiful today, and Father is also very handsome. Don't worry!"
Then the three of them went to the main gate smilingly. They just saw Yan Zhao holding Ning Yuwan's hand and getting off.
The atmosphere between the two was a bit delicate. It seemed that Ning Yuwan was a little angry, and Yan Zhao was patiently coaxing her.
How could the Ning couple have ever seen such a scene?
The heir, who was rumored to be a fierce and cruel person, was actually coaxing their lovely daughter!
If this got out, it would surely shock everyone.
Only Ning Yuqin was jealous and shot a hateful look. If it weren't for Ning Yuwan's tricks, the person Yan Zhao was coaxing today would be her.
But she seemed to have forgotten that it was she who had used tricks first.
And the person Yan Zhao was willing to coax would never be her!
The Ning couple didn't want to break the quiet and beautiful moment of the young couple, but Ning Yuqin was not willing to see them in love.
She spoke up on her own initiative, "Sister!"
Then she lowered her eyes obediently, and called shyly, "Brother - in - law, welcome home!"
Ning Yuwan gave her a sideways glance, "Father, Mother, your daughter is back."
She had seen Ning Yuqin's true face on the wedding day. Naturally, Yan Zhao didn't want to talk to her either, "Father - in - law, Mother - in - law."
Ning Fengnian stroked his beard and returned the greeting, "Heir, please come in quickly."
Only then did Yan Zhao let go of Ning Yuwan's hand and followed him in.
They all forgot about Ning Yuqin. She stood there stunned, biting her lips and clenching her fists for a long time.
The heir actually didn't want to talk to her!
Yuan Qingrong pulled Ning Yuwan aside to talk to her in private and lagged behind a few steps.
Ning Yuqin naturally wanted to follow Ning Fengnian and Yan Zhao, but when Ning Yuwan's cold gaze swept over, she shrank her neck and felt cold sweat break out on her back.
Strange, her aura was so strong!
She could only follow them reluctantly.
In the inner courtyard.
Yuan Qingrong hugged Ning Yuwan and looked at her for a long time, "Wanwan, let mother have a good look at you. Mother misses you so much."
In fact, it had only been two days at most, but she felt as if she hadn't seen her daughter for a lifetime.
This feeling was just like when Ning Yuwan had never been found by them.
She wiped her tears painfully, "Have you been bullied in the heir's mansion? If the heir bullies you, mother will fight with her old life to protect you!"
Not only was the original body in her chest touched, but Ning Yuwan was also very touched.
The dragon girl had always been the one protecting others. Being protected and doted on by others for a moment made her heart warm.
It was a pity that the original body didn't know how deep her parents' love was before.
If it weren't for Ning Yuqin, she could have enjoyed the warmth of her parents and married a good man.
"Mother, the heir treats me very well."
Ning Yuwan wiped her tears, "Mother, don't worry."
The mother - daughter affection between the two hurt Ning Yuqin. She suddenly squeezed in, "Mother, don't cry. Today is the day when sister returns to her maiden's family. We should be happy."
She deliberately emphasized "we". If it were the original body, she might have thought that she was being excluded.
"Okay, okay, okay. Yuqin is right! Mother is just too happy."
Yuan Qingrong had a simple mind and naturally didn't notice Ning Yuqin's words. As for Ning Yuwan, she didn't care and was too lazy to talk to her.
Ning Yuqin propped her chin and seemed to ask casually, "Sister, quickly tell us what kind of person brother - in - law is?"
Ning Yuwan looked back at her, "Sister is so curious. Could it be that you also want to get married?"
She patted Yuan Qingrong's hand, "Counting it, sister is only one month younger than me. Mother should hurry up and arrange a marriage for her."
Yuan Qingrong helped her tidy up the loose hair that had been messed up during the movement, "I've been looking for a good match for her for a long time, but there's no one she fancies."
Of course, the person Ning Yuqin fancied was her brother - in - law.
Ning Yuwan sneered inwardly, "Sister and the heir didn't know each other before, and now we respect each other like guests. If mother finds a good - family and good - character person for sister, why would she resist?"
Of course, Ning Yuwan was just saying this. If Yuan Qingrong really arranged a good family for her, she wouldn't let Ning Yuwan marry there and ruin that family.
She wanted Ning Yuqin to be like the original body, marry a villain and suffer all kinds of hardships.
Ning Yuqin shivered inexplicably. She couldn't help but meet Ning Yuwan's eyes and felt that the faint smile on her lips was extremely sarcastic.
Immediately, she fell into Yuan Qingrong's arms with a laugh, "Mother, aren't we talking about sister and brother - in - law? Why did we suddenly talk about me? I still want to spend more time with you and father and be more filial."
As soon as she said this, it made Yuan Qingrong beam with joy.
Only Ning Yuwan knew the hidden meaning in her words.
She was implying that Ning Yuwan was unfilial.
Touching the silk begonia flower on her temple, Ning Yuwan pretended to look at Ning Yuqin carefully, "I don't know why, but when I saw sister today, I always felt that her eyebrows and eyes had changed a lot."
She covered her lips and asked curiously, "It seems more charming than usual."
"You're right. Yuqin is a bit different today."
If she hadn't said it, it would have been okay. Once she said it, Yuan Qingrong also felt a little strange.
No wonder she always felt that there was something strange about Ning Yuqin today. She thought it was because of her charming red eye makeup.
The surprise in Ning Yuqin's heart turned into certainty. She was sure that it was Ning Yuwan who had caused her to be persecuted by Tang Sanjin!
But she had no evidence, so she could only laugh it off, "Sister is joking. How can I be as beautiful as sister?"
Ning Yuwan wasn't going to let her go. She waved for her to come over, "Sister, let me have a good look at you."
Ning Yuqin naturally didn't dare to go over. She buried herself in Yuan Qingrong's arms and refused to come out, "Sister, don't make fun of me."
Yuan Qingrong half - hugged her, "Our Yuqin is shy."
Ning Yuwan seemed to let her go, "Okay, sister, don't be shy. Sister won't look anymore!"
