Chen Shoucheng said angrily, "You're the one who asked me to discipline her. I only said a few words to her and she actually hit me, even daring to hit the elders. She's really lawless. "Big brother, you are an official in the imperial court. Since you are so unfilial and have let people know, there is no need for you to be an official anymore."

The Duke of Chen was startled. "Did she really make a move against you?"

However, Jin Ning had been wrongly accused the previous few times.

The Duke of Chen staggered a step, and the third uncle stepped forward to stop him. The Duke of Chen shook his head, and then impatiently said, "Fine, tell me, what do you want?"

"It's not that I want to do anything, it's that you have to discipline your daughter. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to stay in this mansion any longer. Tomorrow, I will bring my mother back to the Southern Kingdom." Chen Shoucheng clamored.

The Duke of Chen frowned. He couldn't afford to be accused of being unfilial.

"Don't be angry yet. Tell me what happened tonight." The Duke of Chen softened down.

"Go and speak to my mother." Chen Shoucheng said angrily.

When the Duke of Chen thought of this matter, he had to make it clear that if he were to say it himself, the old lady would definitely believe him first.

"Fine, let go, I'll go with you." Chen Guo said.

However, Chen Shoucheng didn't let him go and dragged him out.

The Third Uncle snorted and exhaled the smell of alcohol, but he couldn't stop him. He could only watch helplessly as he followed Chen Shoucheng.

The third uncle snorted, "It's customary to use an old lady to pressure others, but there's someone who specializes in eating this. No one knows how many times I've been tricked, but I don't know if I'm smarter."

He didn't care about it anymore and went straight back to sleep.

Tonight, the Duke of Guo's estate was in for all the trouble.

On the same night, the Duke of Chen came to Shouan Hall for the second time.

The old lady listened almost completely calmly to Chen Shoucheng's narration of what had happened in Pear Blossom Garden. Even when he spoke of Jin Ning speaking bluntly of her family's status and threatening to kick them out if they were unhappy, her expression didn't change in the slightest.

However, the more he heard, the more he felt guilty and angry. At first, he thought that Jin Ning might have been wronged, but after hearing what Chen Shoucheng said, he believed that Jin Ning was capable of saying such words.

After Chen Shoucheng finished speaking, he was still angry, "Mother, when you are better, we will immediately return to the Southern Kingdom. We don't lack food or clothes, so why did you come back to take your anger?"

Mrs. Yuan also said, "Isn't that so? "It was Big Brother who went to the Xin Nan Country to call us back, and we just came back. Why does it feel like we're here to beg?"

The Duke of Chen was at a loss for words as he looked helplessly at the madame.

The Countess sighed softly and looked at Duke Chen, her gaze mild but also full of fatigue. "Mother is tired. You may go."

The Duke of Chen was even more helpless now. It would have been better if the madame was angry and scolded him a few times. Instead of saying anything, he was actually feeling flustered in his heart.

"Mother …"

The old mistress closed her eyes and sighed softly. "Go, go. We'll talk about it in two days."

Seeing this, Lady Yuan stood up and called the Duke of Chen to the side. She then whispered, "Big Brother, please go back first. I will go back and comfort you a little bit."

The Duke of Chen looked at her gratefully. "Then I'll have to trouble sister-in-law then."

She grew up in the manor, so it is normal for her to have a grudge against him. After all, she has no feelings for him, so Big Brother, please don't scold her later on, in case she does something even more outrageous. Mother is already old, and she just got sick before she returned to the capital. In the capital, her mother had always had a high reputation. If something bad happened to her at a banquet, and then Su Yi sent a eunuch to her, how could she not be sad and angry? And this is something that my own granddaughter did. It is also because of you, big brother, that my mother endured the grievances. If I really make things difficult for you, your relationship as father and daughter will never be able to be redeemed. "

He had originally planned to let them fight on their own, but now that he had heard what Lady Yuan said, his mother had always been for him and the Duke of Guo's house, yet she was humiliated time and time again. Not to mention that she had done nothing wrong, but she had done something wrong.

Filial piety was only considered filial piety!

Thinking of this, he resolutely said, "I will have to trouble my sister to take good care of my mother. Tell my mother that I will definitely give her an explanation."

Mrs. Yuan looked worried, "Big brother, peace is the most important thing. These are mother's words. Jin Ning is young and doesn't know much, so don't criticize her too harshly."

Duke Chen coldly replied, "Young people don't understand? Even at a young age, you should still understand the meaning of filial piety. "

With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

This time, he directly entered Pear Blossom Academy.

Jin Ning had already fallen asleep. Qingying, who was on night duty, lit up the lamp and timidly said, "Please wait a moment, Imperial Duke. This servant will go call Miss."

Duke Chen sat in the main hall with a solemn expression. "Have her come out immediately."

In fact, Jin Ning hadn't fallen asleep either. These days, she had been sleeping very late. After hearing Qingying say that the king had arrived, she got up and put on her clothes.

"Do you want to see Mammy?" Qingying asked worriedly.

"Grandma is asleep, don't call her. It's okay, I need to talk to her." Jin Ning faced the bronze mirror and tied up her hair. Qingying wanted to help, so she said there was no need. She casually pulled up a loose bun, steadied it with a hairpin, and left in her outer clothes.

What was highlighted was a light bulb. The light was dim and the door was not closed. The flame was blown to and fro and the light was dim and blurry.

Jin Ning sat down and sent Qingying out to make tea.

The Duke of Chen was furious. He looked at Jin Ning who was sitting in front of him. She was wearing loose clothes, and her hair was in a messy bun. Her eyes were like stars, pure and evil like the night elves.

In his heart, he actually felt a bit forlorn, and most of his anger had dispersed.

This girl was the only connection between him and Zhen Yi in this world.

Only she could confirm that Zhen Yi had indeed come.

However, because of her, Zhen Yi disappeared from this world.

"Tomorrow, go and apologize to your grandmother." The Duke of Chen said this quietly, in the tone of an order.

Jin Ning quietly replied, "Impossible."

"We have to go. This is not a discussion, it's an order." The Duke of Chen said coldly.

Jin Ning shook his head. "Only the wrong people will apologize."

Duke Chen said in a stern voice, "She was really wrong. But as a junior, can't you humble yourself once? Do you have to be so sharp? What right and wrong are you to discuss with your elders? "
