Chapter 216 Momentary Worry
Chapter 216 Momentary Worry
In her guess, if the emperor knew that Ning Bao was different, he would try every means to keep her, or use the lives of the people in Xia Yan's two mansions as a threat.
If Ning Bao disobeys, they will all be killed.
By then, the thousands of lives lost in the Xia and Yan mansions would have dyed half of the capital city red, and all these lives would be counted on Ning Bao. She was just a little girl of a few years old, and she could not live in regret for the rest of her life.
Yes, when the Prime Minister’s wife thought about how the emperor knew more, the first person she thought of was Xia Yining.
Although she was terrified, she still remembered the He family. After adjusting herself, she took Mrs. He's hand, looked around and said, "Everyone, please leave. I want you to guard the door tightly and no one is allowed to come in."
Madam Gu was shocked. In her impression, her young lady would only behave like today when something serious happened. She said with a shudder in her heart, "Yes, young lady, please rest assured. I will stay outside the door and never leave."
After everyone left, she held Mrs. He's hand with a worried look on her face, looking at her as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, not knowing how to start.
This made Mrs. He feel very nervous. She asked nervously, "What happened? What happened at home?"
The Prime Minister's wife shook her head and gritted her teeth before saying, "The Emperor probably already knew about Ning Bao's differences. Sister He should quickly take Brother He back to Xiaotian Village and announce to the public that they have severed ties with Ning Bao. This way, the lives of everyone in the He family can be saved."
"When your eldest son and his wife return to the village, I will have someone bring you more gold, silver and jewelry. You will then hide them well."
"It's better to give it to you than to let the emperor steal it."
She talked a lot of things, which made Mrs. He confused. She touched her cool and soft skin and patted it a few times.
"Don't be anxious. Take your time."
The Prime Minister's wife was really anxious. She couldn't let the person who saved the little girl's life be implicated.
Then she told him what she had guessed. When Mrs. He heard this, she recalled the emperor's various behaviors and fell silent for a while.
Looking at her, the Prime Minister's wife sighed deeply.
"Sister He also knows that the emperor is above all else. If the emperor wants to die in his sleep, he will die. You and your family should go back and live a good life."
"When the time comes, I'll have my husband arrange for some people to spread the news of the severance of our relationship. Your family should be fine."
"If it doesn't work, take the gold, silver and jewelry into the mountains and live somewhere else under an assumed name."
After saying that, she looked at her deeply, stood up, lifted the hem of her skirt and knelt on the ground. Her movements were so fast that even Mrs. He couldn't react.
"Sister He, you are also a mother. Today, Yan'er, as your younger sister, would like to ask you for a favor." After saying this, she was about to kowtow.
Mrs. He was startled, and she quickly reached out her hand to help her up and said, "What are you doing? You are going to shorten my life."
No matter how she pulled, the Prime Minister's wife just knelt on the ground and refused to get up.
The beauty's tears were particularly moving under the flickering candlelight, and it made people feel heartbroken.
"No~~ Yan'er can't afford it. What Yan'er wants is quite important."
Her red eyes were like a frightened rabbit. She looked up at her and said, "Yan'er only asks for one thing, that when Sister He leaves, she quietly takes Ning Bao with her."
"Hide her well. No matter what happens in the capital, keep an eye on her. Don't let her seek revenge or anything like that. Just keep her alive and well."
"I know this is a little difficult to ask, but as a mother, I can only be selfish and ask you to take her away, the farther the better."
Mrs. He was in a complicated mood. She knew being a mother was not easy, but she didn't expect...
The Prime Minister's wife, who had always been gentle and delicate, thought so much in such a short time, just to give Ning'er a way out.
She sighed, shook her head and said, "No, I can't agree to this."
Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister's wife was stunned while kneeling on the ground, and even forgot to cry.
Mrs. He helped her up and poured her a cup of tea before slowly explaining, "Since Ning'er entered the He family, she and I have been in the same boat."
"If it is really as you said, the emperor, as the true dragon emperor, will not allow Ning'er to exist in the world, because this matter will solve the problem for Xia and Yan's families."
"Then our He family will definitely not run away. Even if we are evenly matched and have no chance of winning, everyone in the He family will face it together with you."
When she spoke, her tone was gentle, as if she was talking about something unimportant, which made the Prime Minister's wife stare at her blankly for a long time.
"This... Sister He, please don't be willful. This is something that could cost you your life. The brothers in the family are all promising. When they pass the imperial examinations, you and your elder brother will be able to enjoy happiness."
"Why..."
She wanted to say, why should she lose her life because of them, but she didn't continue when she thought of what she had just said.
Mrs. He clapped her hands, wet her handkerchief, and gently wiped away the tears from her eyes. She smiled and joked, "Don't cry anymore. When the children come back later, they will think you have been bullied."
"Then I won't be able to explain myself, and I'll be wronged."
Being coaxed by her like a child, the Prime Minister's wife blushed a little. She was too anxious just now.
He burst out laughing: "No way, the kids will just think that their dad wrote a letter and made them cry, they won't think of you at all."
Nanny Gu stood outside the door listening to the noise. She felt that the young lady seemed to be crying after saying a lot of things just now. Then she heard laughter coming from inside and breathed a sigh of relief.
But the frown on her brows grew deeper and deeper, representing her inner unrest.
The Prime Minister's wife also knew that she was reckless, and quickly explained: "Yan Er just forced me to do something against my will. I shouldn't let Sister He bear such great pressure. Please don't blame me."
Seeing her being so polite, Mrs. He shook her head and said, "No, you lost your mind because of Ning'er. I know that."
"But how can you be sure that the emperor will kill Ning'er? Could there be some misunderstanding?"
Knowing that she didn't understand what was happening in the capital, the two of them got together and talked in silence, especially about the situation in the capital.
Hearing about the complicated interpersonal relationships, Mrs. He felt overwhelmed and looked at her with admiration: "You are really amazing. You are worthy of being raised by a wealthy family."
"There are so many people, you remember clearly which family has a good relationship with which family, and which family has a dirty relationship with which family."
"If it were an old woman, she would definitely be dizzy and feel dizzy all day long."
Of course she was happy to be praised. The Prime Minister's wife blushed and said, "Not really. It's mainly because my husband is in a high position and has many enemies outside. If I knew more, I wouldn't be caught by others."
