Chapter 758: Life Is Seriously Hard When There Are No Guidelines

In response to An Yu’s concern, Ning Shu just smiled then looked towards Shen Shi. Shen Shi had both hands on her clutch as she leaned on it while considering this, then she nodded and said, “Alright. You should rest up well. For the time being, I’ll teach An Lingyun how to manage the household.”
Ning Shu struggled to get up, then opened the drawer to take out the ledger and the key to the storehouse. She placed them on the table, then said, “I’ll have you trouble you, Grandmother.”
Shen Shi nodded, then had An Lingyun take the ledger and key. When she made to stand, the maid next to her immediately moved to assist her.
Shen Shi then said a few more words of comfort to Ning Shu like telling her to focus on recovering and that An You was fine so she shouldn’t make herself sick from worry.
Ning Shu just nodded, maintaining a respectful and obedient attitude in front of Shen Shi. An Lingyun hugged the ledger as she said, “Mother, I’ll help carry over your meal.”
Ning Shu smiled. “Alright.”
Once the group left, Ning Shu had Zhu Er close the door. “I’m going to sleep for a while. Don’t bother me no matter who it is that comes.”
Zhu Er nodded, then closed the door and stayed outside the door to guard the room.
Ning Shu sat cross-legged on the bed. The original host had managed the general’s residence neatly and skillfully. Every expense and income was logged meticulously and all the records would be given to Shen Shi to look over. Whenever the original host encountered some large expense, she would consult Shen Shi beforehand.
Rather than say Wei Lingxian was the one managing the general’s residence, it’d be more accurate to say that Shen Shi possessed the true power over the household.
Shen Shi felt that she understood everything about this daughter-in-law of hers. Meanwhile, for the sake of this family, Wei Lingxian harbored zero selfishness and looked after her mother-in-law with full filial respect.
Shen Shi was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law, so when her son didn’t take any mistresses, she didn’t say anything. This made Wei Lingxian feel even more respect and love for Shen Shi.
An You was often sent on campaigns, so Wei Lingxian interacted with her mother-in-law even more than she interacted with her husband. They were like true family, but when things involved her own son, Shen Shi abandoned Wei Lingxian.
In reality, this was something that didn’t even require consideration.
However, Ning Shu had no desire to work to the bone for this general’s residence while everyone else just enjoyed the fruits of her labors. Everything here had been in perfect order. Those who were hungry had food, those who were thirsty could immediately get warm water, and the clothes were fresh and clean every single day.
This environment was brought about by the original host’s careful hard work, but in the end, all of these people pointed at her and called her deranged and malicious.
Those who were fed and content only became spoiled, so this time, they can just deal with things themselves.
Ning Shu started practicing the Unsurpassable Martial Arts, but there wasn’t much result. However, with the help of the calmness halo, she was no longer affected by the original host’s emotions as much.
The original host harbored a lot of intense resentment and sorrow. Ning Shu sighed. When a person’s heart was no longer with you, no matter what you did, it was to no avail.
Ning Shu really had no clue how to go about this task. Should she take revenge on An You and Princess Mingzhu? On everyone that’s hurt Wei Lingxian?
But the people that hurt Wei Lingxian were all the people she cared about the most? However, if she didn’t do anything, how was she supposed to complete this task?
Ning Shu realized that even though she had become Wei Lingxian, there was no guarantee that she’d be able to deal with this situation any better than Wei Lingxian had.
Forget it, she’ll just have to deal with things as they came. The main issue was that there was Princess Mingzhu, this pure, wonderful, and innocent true love to deal with.
Princess Mingzhu was the daughter of a prince and the niece of the current emperor. In this feudal society in which the lives of the imperial family were on par with that of deities, dealing with a noble status princess and making the princess suffer while keeping up her own reputation of being virtuous was going to be a bit hard.
The original host was originally a virtuous wife skilled at housekeeping who supported the entire family, but due to Princess Mingzhu, she ended up being labeled as malicious and envious for tormenting Princess Mingzhu. Meanwhile, Princess Mingzhu’s act of enduring everything silently and remaining kind ended up obtaining the sympathy of everyone in the general’s residence.
Ning Shu: …
It was unbelievably irritating. This task was seriously balls-breaking.
There was no direction at all, and Ning Shu couldn’t get a handle on what the original host felt towards An You. Was it hatred, love, or a mix of both?
Life was seriously hard when there were no guidelines.
