Chapter 1562 1682, After All the Hardship Comes Happiness (3)
"Miss Mu, have some tea."
A voice pulled Mu Ningjing out of her sad mood. She looked up and saw a woman in her forties or fifties putting a cup of tea on the coffee table. She politely nodded to the woman, "Thank you."
The nanny shook her head to show that you're welcome, and introduced herself: "I'm the nanny here, my surname is Zhang, you can just call me Aunt Zhang."
Mu Ningjing nodded, "Yeah."
Aunt Zhang glanced at a pile of books on the coffee table, and a smile appeared in the corners of her eyes, "Are these the books that Madam moved down?"
Mu Ningjing was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't pay much attention, but there were no books on the coffee table when she came.
Aunt Zhang took the books one by one and looked at them, and then the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, "Madam deliberately gave them to Miss Mu to read. If Miss Mu is bored, she can read them to kill time."
Mu Ningjing was stunned. Did she deliberately give them to her?
Aunt Zhang saw Mu Ningjing's reaction and knew that Madam must have said nothing. Madam was the kind of person who would not admit her mistakes even if she was wrong, otherwise she would not have almost divorced Master Jiu.
Although the Madam has bowed her head in front of Master Jiu, Mu Ningjing is a junior after all. Given the Madam's temper, even if she knows that she did something wrong before, she will not be able to put down her airs.
Aunt Zhang also knew about the drugging incident last time, and naturally knew about the unfriendly relationship between Mu Ningjing and Ju Qiulan.
Zhang Ma thought for a while and said to Mu Ningjing: "I have been with Madam for more than ten years. Madam has a strong personality, but she is still a very good person, especially to the young master. She is very dear to her heart. Sometimes Madam does things without considering the consequences, but her starting point is good. I hope Miss Mu will not care about Madam for the sake of the young master."
Mu Ningjing looked up at Zhang Ma. Zhang Ma had a gentle smile on her face and said to her: "You should look forward to life. Try to forgive the unhappiness in the past. When you forgive others, you also forgive yourself. Only by thinking it through can you live a good life."
Mu Ningjing never thought of arguing with Ju Qiulan. Although Ju Qiulan's means were excessive, he also loved his son. Even for Shen Tingxi, she would not hold on to the past. It was just that there had been bad unhappiness after all, so it was inevitable that they would feel awkward when getting along with each other. These needed time to dilute.
Zhang Ma's words of persuasion to Mu Ningjing reminded Mu Ningjing of Mu Yiqing. Should she forgive him?
If she doesn't forgive him, she will never let him go. When she thinks of him, she will always feel pain and sadness.
Perhaps what Zhang Ma said is right. When she forgives others, she also forgives herself.
She doesn't need to make herself unhappy now and in the future because of the bad past.
Mu Ningjing felt as if she had suddenly realized something. Before, her heart was like a ball of soaked cotton, heavy, stuffy and blocked. Now, the stuffiness in her heart has all dissipated. "Thank you, Zhang Ma, I understand."
Zhang Ma nodded, her eyebrows and eyes were full of love for Mu Ningjing. This girl is a smart child, transparent, and understands at a glance. "By the way, what kind of dishes does Miss Mu like to eat? Tell me so that I can prepare them."
Mu Ningjing, "It's all right. I'm not picky."
The smile lines at the corners of Zhang Ma's eyes deepened. She was polite and didn't have much to do. She was really a good girl who made people feel comfortable. "Don't tell me the name of the dish, tell me about the taste?"
Mu Ningjing knew that she couldn't say casually again, otherwise she would seem perfunctory. After thinking for a while, she said, "It's better to be light."
"Okay, then I'll go and get busy. You can read a book when you have nothing to do." When Zhang Ma left, her eyes pointed to the pile of books on the coffee table again.
Mu Ningjing was the only one in the living room. She liked quietness, so she turned off the TV. She glanced at the pile of books and picked up the top one. It was a youth campus novel.
Mu Ningjing remembered that Zhang Ma said that these books were deliberately picked by Ju Qiulan for her to read, and she couldn't help but look at other books.
How Steel Is Made, On Sales Skills, How to Be a Good Woman, Ways to Keep Healthy, Pregnant Women's Handbook, Parenting Guide.
Mu Ningjing's face became redder and redder as she read. What did Ju Qiulan mean by showing her these books?
She quickly put the books in order and picked up the youth campus novel to read.
At first, she just flipped through it casually, but as she read, Mu Ningjing really got into it. Unknowingly, an hour passed.
When Ju Qiulan came down from upstairs, she saw Mu Ningjing holding a book and reading it intently, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked. Being able to read the book meant that the sad mood had been sorted out.
Zhang Ma called for dinner, and Mu Ningjing realized that Ju Qiulan had come down from upstairs at some point and was already sitting in the restaurant.
Mu Ningjing quickly put down the book, went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and came to the restaurant to sit down.
Zhang Ma served the meal and sat down, and also asked Mu Ningjing to eat more vegetables.
Zhang Ma occasionally livened up the atmosphere at the dinner table, so the atmosphere was okay, and Mu Ningjing was not so reserved.
However, Ju Qiulan and Mu Ningjing did not say a word to each other, not because they did not say anything on purpose, but because they did not know what to say.
In the afternoon, Mu Ningjing said she wanted to go back, and Ju Qiulan wanted to keep her. Xi'er had not come out yet, and her father had passed away. She was inevitably depressed when she went back alone to face the empty house.
However, Ju Qiulan only wanted to, but did not speak. If she spoke, Mu Ningjing would refuse, and she would lose face, as if she cared about her.
Zhang Ma glanced at her own wife. She had been with her wife for a long time, and knew a little about her temper. She sighed in her heart. If she wanted to keep her daughter-in-law, she could keep her. Why was she so polite?
"Is there anything for Miss Mu to go back?" Zhang Ma asked Mu Ningjing.
Mu Ningjing shook her head. She just didn't want to cause trouble for Ju Qiulan, and it was awkward for her to get along with Ju Qiulan.
Zhang Ma said, "Since you have nothing to do, just live here. When the young master comes back, he will be very happy to know that you live here. Once he is happy, he may not be angry with the madam."
Mu Jingping knew what Zhang Ma meant. Shen Tingxi was still angry with Ju Qiulan because of the medicine and the agreement. She had never seen Ju Qiulan since she moved out.
Maybe Shen Tingxi would not be so angry with Ju Qiulan after she came out and knew that she and Yu Anna had not had a relationship, but Shen Tingxi was afraid that she would not be able to let go of her one-year appointment with Ju Qiulan.
After all, because of Ju Qiulan's obstruction, his marriage proposal was rejected three times. The relationship between the two of them has not progressed in the past six months because of this agreement, and they have had minor quarrels and cold wars from time to time.
If her relationship with Ju Qiulan eases, Shen Tingxi will definitely be able to let it go.
She has never wanted to cause a rift between Shen Tingxi and Ju Qiulan because of her. She longs for home, and even more desires to have a warm and harmonious home, which she has never had since she was born.
Mu Jingping thought this and looked at Ju Qiulan, wanting to see what Ju Qiulan's attitude was, otherwise it would be useless for her to be as hot as before.
