Jing Xingzhi’s Daily Life in Ancient Times

Old Madam Ning didn’t know that she was regarded as a cheater by Jing Xingzhi. The old lady just thought about her grandson’s character, but she didn’t expect that he turned out to be very good!

At least he was courteous to the old woman. Even though she was far away, he made way for her.

But she had to admit…the better her real grandson’s temper was, the better it would be for Yongyuan.

The old lady felt sorry for Ning Yongyuan. He had grown up in the Marquis Mansion. If he could not get any share of the family property in the future, what would her good grandson, who was used to a life of glory and wealth, do?

Therefore, the old lady wanted to earn more wealth for Ning Yongyuan in the future.

She took care of the backyard and felt that her son was unfilial—she disliked that he had too few people.

Back at the house, Old Madam Ning wrote a letter to Ning Haibo, somewhat unhappily.

[Son! I don’t have enough money. Please give me more.]

While asking for money from Ning Haibo, the old lady bought more shops and yards and became busy for a while.

Ning Yongyuan saw it, but he didn’t know what she was busy with. He just noticed that she seemed a little tired.

He advised, “Grandma, what have you been busy with recently? The doctor said that you should rest more. Your grandson is waiting for you to live a long life!”

When Old Madam Ning heard this, her eyes lit up.

She kept thinking, could her Yongyuan always be protected by her?

“My grandson is smart! I know, there’s no need to be so anxious. These shops and yards are enough.” Old Madam Ning was so happy that she almost spilled the beans.

Ning Yongyuan instinctively felt confused and asked, “What shops and yards? Grandma, is there something wrong with your shop?” As he asked, he looked worried.

He was even concerned that his mother might be interfering with his grandmother’s affairs. His grandmother was already old, but his mother was still young and strong. What if she bullied his grandma?

Ning Yongyuan sighed internally but said calmly, “Grandma, I’ll go back to my yard. I’m afraid you’ll get tired of having me here every day.”

“You want to go back?” The old lady was not happy. “I’m afraid your mother can’t take care of you. Why don’t I send two girls to go back with you? For my sake, those people won’t dare to treat you harshly.”

The old lady felt that this woman, Wu Shuangxi, was too cold. If Yongyuan couldn’t bring her any benefits, Wu Shuangxi would definitely bully her grandson. Look how thin he had become when she returned from her hometown!

“Okay, thank you, Grandma.” Ning Yongyuan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his grandmother didn’t notice anything strange about him; otherwise, it wouldn’t be good to make her angry.

.

The old lady of the Ning family worried about Ning Yongyuan, while Li Yunxi, the emperor and a father, was busy thinking about his second son, Li Jiarui, who had been sent to live with another family.

Thinking of Li Jiarui, Li Yunxi’s head hurt.

But when he realized he hadn’t seen Li Jiarui for a long time, he wanted to meet the child and see how he was doing.

The messages about Li Jiarui that arrived every day said that the child had changed a lot and had become more able to endure hardships. He was bullied by a farm boy but often lost his temper.

Li Yunxi thought about it and couldn’t sleep at night.

Finally, he decided to get up and walk at night with his men, dressed in brocade clothes, to the small village where Li Jiarui worked.

The small village was located in the mountains, and Li Yunxi had sent people to guard and protect Li Jiarui, so he couldn’t escape.

Li Yunxi rushed to the small village and stood outside the window of the impoverished house. The room where Li Jiarui was sleeping.

Because they were not wealthy, this family didn’t have a yard. They only used a fence to enclose a vegetable plot to prevent the vegetables from being eaten by chickens.

Li Yunxi stood outside the window and asked someone to open it.

The moonlight shone in through the window, illuminating Li Jiarui’s darkened and thinner face.

Li Yunxi saw this and sighed quietly.

This sigh seemed to alarm Li Jiarui. Li Jiarui, who was sleeping on the hard bed, turned over and faced the silver moonlight.

However, the glare of the moonlight made Li Jiarui feel uncomfortable. He vaguely raised his hand to wipe his eyes and was about to open them.

Zhang Tong pulled the sleeve of Li Yunxi and warned him.

Li Yunxi did not intend to hide; he shook his head secretly.

Eventually, Li Jiarui opened his eyes and saw a person outside the window, which almost scared him to death.

After seeing the person clearly, Li Jiarui patted his chest, frowned, and asked in a low voice, “Father?”

Li Yunxi nodded and made a “hmm” sound from his nose in a low voice.

Li Jiarui reacted to this response. He ran to the window with bare feet and asked in surprise, “Father, are you here to take your son away? Really?”

Li Jiarui just felt that life was too hard now—more than just miserable. When he saw Li Yunxi, he couldn’t wait to be taken away.

Li Jiarui said excitedly, “Father, take me back to the palace!”

However, Li Yunxi shook his head and reached out to touch Li Jiarui’s head. “It’s not time yet, please stay for a while.”

Li Jiarui often quarreled with the little grandson of this family like a stupid child, which was not acceptable.

Li Jiarui, on the other hand, felt despair for a moment; his expression was lost, his eyebrows furrowed, and he refused to cooperate.

Li Jiarui took a step back and asked irritably, “Then what are you doing here?”

Li Yunxi certainly couldn’t say what he felt. He turned around and told Zhang Tong, “Let’s go.”

Then he left very coldly and ruthlessly, leaving Li Jiarui with his eyes and nose red with anger.
