Chapter 757: An You is Someone with Great Fortune

The intense emotions gradually receded, but Ning Shu’s entire body still felt weak and she was covered with cold sweat.

Ning Shu decided it was best to start practicing Unsurpassable Martial Arts as soon as possible to improve the health of this body.

“Mother, are you alright?” An Lingyun looked towards Ning Shu worriedly. She had never seen her mother like this before.

Her mother, who had always been strong like a pillar, had suddenly become like this, so she was very flustered.

Ning Shu used a handkerchief to wipe at the cold sweat on her face as she said, “I’m fine. I’m going to rest for a while. You should eat first with your grandmother. Go, Mother wants to rest for a bit.”

In the end, An Lingyun left hesitantly while glancing back at Ning Shu worriedly.

Zhu Er wet a handkerchief and helped wipe Ning Shu’s face as she asked, “Madame, should we call a doctor over to take a look? Your facial color doesn’t seem good.”

Ning Shu shook her head. Her heart was still pulsing faintly in pain.

After a while, footsteps came from outside the house, then a huge group of people came in. The person walking at the very front was an old grandma that was leaning on a redwood clutch. She was wearing dark red clothing and on her forehead was an embroidered black headband that had a grandmother’s green jade stone inlayed in the center.

It was clear with one glance that she was a strict old madame of high status.

An Lingyun was supporting the old madame and next to them was An Yu who had a slender physique, fair skin, and an elegant air.

An Yu and An Lingyun both greeted Ning Shu. “Mother.”

“Mother, Grandmother’s come to see you,” said An Lingyun.

When Ning Shu saw Shen Shi, she pressed on Zhu Er’s hand and tried to get up, but the old madame walked over while leaning on her crutch to press Ning Shu back down. “Don’t get up. Your facial color isn’t good. Have you been overworking?”

Ning Shu went with the flow and sat back down respectfully. She said with a fatigued expression, “Many thanks for your concern, Mother. Daughter-in-law is indeed a little tired.”

The old madame sat down on the chair by the bed and said, “I know that you’re worried about An You. It’s alright, even this old lady isn’t worried, so there’s no need for you to worry. An You is someone with great fortune.”

Ning Shu: …

Such fortune that you’d probably end up with the fate of being a white-hair person seeing off a black-haired person.

Ning Shu just forced a smile, then beckoned An Lingyun. When An Lingyun walked over, Ning Shu took her hand, then turned towards Shen Shi. “Mom, Daughter-in-law’s health hasn’t been very good lately, and Lingyun is no longer a child, it’ll soon be time to find her an in-laws family. It’s time for Lingyun to start learning how to manage a home. Could I trouble you to teach Lingyun?”

As Ning Shu spoke, she had to gasp for air. Her face was pale and wan and her forehead was covered with sweat, making her seem especially haggard. An Lingyun and An Yu both felt uneasy at the sight of this.

“Mother, you should just rest up. Sister and I will be fine,” said An Yu worriedly.

Ning Shu looked over at An Yu and her pupils dilated. He had confessed to Princess Mingzhu with An Lingyun’s encouragement and ended up being rejected. After that, the original host had summoned An Yu and told him not to get involved with Mingzhu because she was an imperial princess, someone whose status was way above the likes of them.

An Yu had just been rejected by the woman who was gentle like water in his heart, then he was lectured by Wei Lingxian like this. When he found out that his mother had even entered the palace and convinced the empress dowager to bestow Princess Mingzhu a marriage, he started hating the original host for hindering things.

And so she became resented by her own child which tore another chunk of flesh off Wei Lingxian’s heart.
