The Lady's Sickly Husband

C134. Fake Truth

Nanny Mo didn't disturb and covered her with a blanket, staying by her side.

In general, so far, she didn't have many enemies except for the Mo family.

But she had a lot of hole cards. Having received the modern education, her insight wouldn't be less brilliant than an ancient person. As long as she acted attentively, there couldn't be obstacles that couldn't be overcome.

When she needed, there were also the Jian and Xin and Tong family. In a worst situation, she had money at least, on which she could build up her own power utilizing modern techniques.

A little Mo family wasn't a opponent to her.

At the Ning mansion, in the capital.

It was getting dark. In the thermal pavilion, a noble woman sat upright, and a nanny came to greet her and reminded, "Madam, it's time to greet master."

"Well, let's go."

Concubine Xie snorted disdainfully, stood up and walked outwards.

Many years ago, she had racked her brains to be able to marry him, not merely because of his identity, but also due to her true admiration towards him. She had tried her best to please him, but what about him?

In his heart, there was merely the Ning family and his dead wife's son. There wasn't a place for her, ever.

She also gave birth to a son, Shaoyu, whom he had never taken a glance or smiled or praised or encouraged.

Getting out of the yard and going through the garden by an arch gate, they arrived at a magnificent building.

That was the place where master Ning dealt with work and lived in if the work detained him until too late. Since one year ago when the eldest lord disappeared, master Ning caught a cold and hadn't been well ever since. Hence, he didn't go out at night and directly moved into this courtyard.

By the beginning of this year, his health got worse, so he hadn't left this yard at all.

Sound of coughing sent over from the room. Concubine Xie, followed by a nanny, covered her nose with a handkerchief and slowly approached.

Seeing her, Ning Kai, the servant waiting at the door walked over, all smiles, to greet her, bowing, "Madam."

"Get up." Concubine Xie waved her hand to gesture the servant up and then quickly covered her nose again, as if she would be infected at any moment, asking, "Is master better?" Ning Kai replied, "Master remains the same."

While talking, Ning Kai glimpsed at the inside to suggest the situation in the room.

Sound of constant coughing and various other noises made by servants were heard.

Xie asked again, "Did master take medicine on time?"

Ning Kai replied, "Yes, but it didn't seem to work."

Xie seemed to be very satisfied with this answer, "Well, I see. Take care of your master."

"Yes."

Inside the room.

Master Ning sat on the cough, deadpan and imposing. There wasn't a sign of coughing or illness at all. Two men, also with erected figures and extraordinary bearing, stood before him. Only a servant standing at the door kept coughing again and again.

One of the two men reported respectfully in a low voice, "The eldest lord is on the way back."

The indifferent face of master Ning finally had a touch of emotion, "He finally remembers this family and me and is coming back?" The tone sounded displeased but also unconceivably joyful.
