Chapter 781: You Hate Princess Mingzhu?

Ning Shu had Zhu Er get her a praying mat, then she knelt down at the entrance of the ancestral hall as she said to An Lingyun, “Kneel properly. You’re not the only who’s done something wrong, I’ve also made mistakes.”
An Lingyun peeked through the seam of the door and saw that her mother was kneeling on the ground. She didn’t know what to say, so she just called out, “Mother.”
“Kneel,” said Ning Shu coldly.
Since Ning Shu was outside, An Lingyun felt much calmer. She knelt on the praying mat and looked around. The ancestral hall felt abnormally creepy.
Zhu Er draped a cloak on Ning Shu. Ning Shu closed her eyes and repeatedly revolved her energy in order to extinguish the anger burning inside her heart. She had to remain calm, she had to stay calm.
If not, how was she any different from the original host?
Even she, as an outsider, would feel so angry and irascible, so Wei Lingxian must have felt like she was roasting in fire. These emotions were fully capable of driving a person insane.
She couldn’t help but feel like there was some sort of power pushing her to go insane with despair. The saying that if the Heavens wished to extinguish humankind, first they had to drive them mad seemed true.
“Mother, are you there?” An Lingyun couldn’t help but ask this after a few moments of complete silence.
Ning Shu responded, “Yes.”
An Lingyun’s heart calmed down again.
An Lingyun asked Ning Shu, “Mother, what did you do wrong?”
Ning Shu said coldly, “I doted on you two too much, which caused you two to grow up with no sense of right and wrong and no knowledge of the world, so you two decide on what’s right and wrong subjectively based on whatever you feel. This has implicated the entire general’s residence. I’m ashamed to face the An family ancestors.”
An Lingyun bit her lips without speaking. She felt wronged but also fearful. Her loving mother shouldn’t be like this.
Ning Shu shifted her knees slightly, then closed her eyes and silently chanted the Unsurpassable Martial Arts.
Ning Shu felt that there was a need to exchange for a secret manual that could allow a person to remain calm, something like a mind-clearing chant.
An Lingyun would speak from time to time to confirm that Ning Shu was still outside. As long as Ning Shu responded, she would feel reassured.
“Mother, you hate Princess Mingzhu?” asked An Lingyun.
Ning Shu said mildly, “Lingyun, you need to look at some things with your own eyes. Put yourself in Mother’s shoes, if you were me, how would you feel?”
Ning Shu then said, “Actually, there’s no need to put yourself in my shoes. Let’s say in the future, you get married, then your husband falls in love with a woman and this woman’s status is very high so you have to face the possibility of being divorced. Not only this, the children that you’ve worked so hard to raise will be soon calling someone else mother.”
“The husband you love doesn’t love you, the children you love doesn’t love you. You face a future of getting old without anyone to rely on and dying alone. After you die, no one will burn paper money to remember you and the husband you love will be happily in love with someone else. Would you like the woman that stole your husband and children?” Ning Shu’s voice was calm, very calm.
However, these words seemed to boom like thunder in An Lingyun’s heart. Her entire body trembled and her voice choked with sobs as she cried, “Mother, I-”
Ning Shu sighed, then said, “Lingyun, this matter is nowhere near this simple. Think about it properly. Mother hopes that the general’s residence will stay safe, that you and your brother will stay safe.”
