Chapter 167 Pakho's Marriage Proposal (2)
Yue Jinghong hurriedly walked in from the main entrance. "My daughter greets my father~"
When Yue Hanwen saw Yue Jinghong coming, he quickly said, "Jinghong, this is Madam Ning from the Zhenyuan General's Mansion. Come and meet Madam Ning and Master Ning!"
Yue Jinghong lowered her head, walked lightly with lotus steps, walked to the middle of the mansion hall, and bowed to Madam Ning, "My daughter Yue Jinghong greets Madam Ning and Master Ning!"
The voice was soft and gentle. Madam Ning put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Yue Jinghong who was bowing. She had a good figure. She was not as thin as other women. She was a little plump. Such a woman was easy to raise. Her clothes and appearance were also extraordinary. It seemed that Yue Hanwen had put a lot of effort into raising this daughter. This realization made Madam Ning nod in her heart. "Raise your head..."
What! Yue Jinghong was stunned. How dare she let her raise her head? She was a general's wife, what a person!
Yue Jinghong pinched the handkerchief in her hand, suppressed her anger, and raised her head slightly, then she heard Madam Ning say unceremoniously, "No wonder Pakho asked me to propose marriage when he came back. It turns out that Miss Yue Er, who is so pretty, is seducing him, no wonder!"
Madam Ning's words really didn't give Yue Jinghong much face. Yue Jinghong couldn't help but reply, "Madam Ning, you are too kind! Jinghong is just a plain girl, and she only met Mr. Ning once, so how can you say she seduced him? Besides, I'm sure Madam Ning doesn't want Mr. Ning to be called a lecher, right?"
When Ning Baihao saw Yue Jinghong's bad complexion, he knew that Yue Jinghong was angry, so he hurriedly called out to Madam Ning, "Mother!"
Madam Ning did not give Ning Bohao face this time. She snorted softly, "I didn't expect Miss Yue to be so good at talking!"
Yue Jinghong smiled faintly, "If others respect me one foot, I will respect them ten feet. If others insult me one point, I will insult them ten times!"
Madam Ning slammed the table, "How dare you!"
Yue Jinghong didn't say anything and just stood in the hall.
Seeing that things were a little awkward at this moment, the old lady lightly reprimanded Yue Jinghong: "Jinghong! Don't be impolite! Apologize to Madam Ning immediately!"
Yue Jinghong bowed to Madam Ning obediently and said, "I speak frankly, Madam Ning, please don't blame me!"
How could Yue Jinghong be apologizing? She was simply saying that it was Madam Ning who was rude to her first, so she fought back...
Madam Ning was always the object of everyone's flattery wherever she went. How could she be rebuked like she was today? "Pakho! Is this the woman you want to marry? She's so rude to me before she even enters the house!"
Ning Baihao quickly stood up and apologized to Madam Ning: "Don't blame me, mother! Miss Yue Er doesn't understand your temper, please don't blame me!"
"I just don't see what's so good about her! She's the one that makes you so obsessed! There are so many princesses, but you don't want to choose one, but you have to marry a concubine's daughter!"
Yue Jinghong finally understood why Madam Ning looked at her with disdain. It turned out that she disliked her because of her low status...
The old lady was unhappy when she saw Madam Ning belittling the young lady of Yue Mansion. "Although Jinghong is a concubine's daughter, she was brought up as a legitimate daughter! I believe Young Master Ning saw it yesterday!"
Ning Baihao nodded in response, "Old Madam, what you said is right! Miss Yue Er is incredibly talented, and is incomparable to all the legitimate daughters!"
"Hmph! How come you, with such amazing talent, can't get into Fengzhuo Academy? You won the spot of the eldest daughter, but handed in a blank paper... What kind of talented woman is she!" Madam Ning's sarcastic words came into Yue Jinghong's ears one after another. Yue Jinghong was so angry that she wanted to tear her mouth apart!
"Mother!" Ning Bohao interrupted Madam Ning when he saw that she was going too far. "Son has already explained it. It was because Miss Yue Er was ill that she failed! Mother, please don't say any more!"
Madam Ning ignored Ning Bohao's hint, "Isn't Miss Yue Er sick now? The fact that she can criticize me so energetically shows that she has been poorly educated! A concubine's daughter is a concubine's daughter! She is different from a princess!"
Madam Ning mentioned the princess several times, which gave Yue Jinghong a plan. She immediately became humble, "Madam Ning is right! The one who can be worthy of the general's son is the princess!"
Madam Ning saw that Yue Jinghong had come to her senses, so she slowed down her tone and said, "Although Miss Yue cannot be the legal wife, she is qualified to be a concubine..."
"Mother……"
"I don't agree!"
Ning Baihao was about to interrupt Mrs. Ning when he heard a woman's voice coming from outside the door.
When Yue Jinghong heard that it was Aunt Su who came, she felt relieved.
Nanny Li pushed Aunt Su to the center of the hall and said, "I greet Madam Ning and Master Ning!"
It was the first time that Madam Ning and Ning Bohao met Aunt Su, and their eyes were full of disbelief. How could an ugly thing give birth to a fairy-like girl like Yue Jinghong?
"What are you doing here?" Yue Hanwen felt that Aunt Su had lost his face, so he said angrily, "Let's talk about it later. You go down first!"
Aunt Su bowed to the old lady and Yue Hanwen, "Please forgive my rudeness! I heard that Madam Ning was coming to visit, and Jinghong is a girl from the boudoir, so I am afraid I may be neglectful!"
Aunt Su's words made the old lady nod her head. Judging from Madam Ning's attitude, she didn't want to marry Jinghong into the general's mansion, but wanted to take Jinghong as a concubine!
