Duke Jing's younger sister

Chapter 243: Contentment is the key to happiness

When mentioning Han Xiang, Han Yunning's eyes dimmed slightly.

The prince fulfilled his promise to her and rescued his father from the Ministry of Justice prison.

However, what was brought out was a cold corpse.

It turned out that my father had already died and would not live long.

But she, as a daughter, was completely unaware of it and was still angry with him.

Han Yunning tried to hold back the tears in her eyes and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry about my life or death, Lord Shen. Lord Shen should pay more attention to your sweetheart."

Shen Beiqi's pupils shrank slightly, he turned to look at her and asked, "What do you mean?"

Han Yunning had a smile on her face, but tears were streaming down her face uncontrollably.

She didn't know why she was crying, maybe because of this ridiculous and worthless life.

"When I was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I was always confused. Why was it that my father always ignored me even though I was better than my two brothers in everything? Could it be that because I am a girl, I am naturally shorter than men?"

When she was a child, no matter how well her handwriting was or how vivid her paintings were.

My father never took it to heart, and even his words of praise didn't seem sincere.

At first, she thought she wasn't doing well enough.

So she practiced harder, aiming to be the best in everything from playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

She couldn't remember how many times she had held the paper in her hands with joy, wanting her father to see the handwriting she had practiced so hard and to get a real word of praise.

pity...

In the end, he didn't even look at it.

He just said casually: "It's well written, Ning'er is amazing."

She silently took the paper back, knowing that her father didn't even read it, but still forced a happy smile.

After walking out of the study, he tore the paper into pieces and threw it into the lake.

From then on, she never entered her father's study again.

Because she understood that it was not that she was not good enough, but that someone who could not see you would not pay attention to your good or bad.

Because I don’t care, because I don’t pay attention, it doesn’t matter.

She has two brothers, one is really stupid and the other is pretending to be stupid.

The silly elder brother would just smile foolishly every day. When he saw her, he would drool, wave at her, and call her sister affectionately.

Although my second brother is a normal person, he only knows how to indulge himself and cause trouble every day, which often gives my father a headache.

But even though they are two silly brothers, their father cares about them very much.

One gave her the caring and concern she had long desired, and the other gave her the indulgence and favor she had never received.

"I really didn't expect... Shen Beiqi, even you ignored me?"

Han Yunning's tears flowed freely, and the hostility and scarlet in her eyes were intertwined.

"I am your fiancée, but no matter where we are, whether in the Rui Palace or at the night banquet in the palace, you never see me, but only Jiang Li. Why is that?!"

"Why are you all turning a blind eye to me?"

"Why do your gazes and your affection never stay for me?"

Shen Beiqi glanced at her with indifferent eyes, "That's because you always stare at those things you can't get, but ignore that you already have a lot."

Hearing this, Han Yunning laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Have a lot? Then tell me, what do I have?"

"Why don't you let me tell you."

A clear female voice came from the door.

Shen Beiqi turned around and frowned slightly when his eyes fell on Jiang Li.

When they parted just now, there were only bloodstains on her elbows and knees, but now, there were a few more bloodstains on the front.

Not only that, her face was also frighteningly pale at the moment.

Shen Beiqi stepped forward and held her in his arms. She felt weak and hot all over, and she leaned on his chest like mud, letting him support her.

He looked at Yue Yang with a questioning look, and Yue Yang felt as if a thorn was on his back, and his scalp was tingling.

"My Lord, nothing happened along the way."

Yueyang didn't know what happened to the third lady.

Jiang Li raised her eyes and looked at Han Yunning.

She was wearing a red dress with large peony flowers embroidered with gold thread on the wide, floor-length skirt.

It is undeniable that Han Yunning is very beautiful.

When she dressed as a girl in the past, she was elegant, calm, generous and decent.

Now wearing such a gorgeous dress, she is even more sharp and beautiful.

"Han Yunning, you were born into a life of luxury. You come from a prominent family, and your parents protect you well. In terms of talent and appearance, you are superior to others."

"With your intelligence, if you were a man, you would definitely be like the Prime Minister of Han and become a pillar of the country."

"Even if you are a woman, you can marry into a wealthy family, take charge of the household, and become the mistress of the family."

"You could have had a stable life, but you threw it away."

When Jiang Li was halfway through her words, she suddenly felt as if there was a ball of fire burning in her stomach.

It was as if she had swallowed a boiling red fire, which was churning back and forth in her stomach, causing all her internal organs to suffer.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her discomfort, and continued, "You see me as an enemy, but I lost my mother when I was young, and my father was convicted and exiled when I was eight."

"I live in the Duke's Mansion. It seems glamorous on the surface, but in fact I am living under someone else's roof. My words and actions are all treading on thin ice. My joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are all restrained. I dare not express them as I wish."

The fingers holding her shoulders trembled slightly, and Shen Beiqi looked at the woman in his arms with deep eyes, seemingly with deep meaning.

Jiang Li's face was as pale as paper, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "When people look at others, they can often only see the good side."

"However, when we turn our gaze to ourselves, we can't help but magnify the flaws. In the final analysis, it's just your inner dissatisfaction that's causing the problem."

When she was young, all of Nagasu's playmates had mothers, except her.

She was once sad about this, but later she thought that although she had lost her mother, she still had a father and brother.

She is not a lonely, unloved orphan.

Later, something happened to the Jiang family, and she moved into the Shen Mansion.

Although I have to be alert at all times, be cautious and think twice about everything, I am also extremely grateful and content.

If it weren't for the Shen family, her life would have been ten or a hundred times more difficult than it is now.

What's more, Shen Beiqi treated her very well. Although Yang didn't love her, she never treated her harshly.

What could she have to complain about?

Everything in the world has two sides, good and bad.

Since you have enjoyed its good, you should accept its bad.

Jiang Li: "Han Yunning, you complain that everyone ignores you, but aren't you also exiling yourself?"

"If you hadn't ordered Liang Yangrong to attack Ziyuan, perhaps our ending would be very different. If you hadn't used the Fourth Princess to try to get rid of me at the flower viewing banquet..."

She looked up and met his beautiful peach blossom eyes, "Perhaps... at this moment, the person in his arms is you."
