Chapter 44: Chapter 44: The Young Master Is a Woman 44
It was also said that the commissioner’s fourth sister, Ning Yutong, since Ah Chen introduced her to the business of Prince Ning Mansion, she has been bustling every day, and now she can manage things independently.
She doesn’t need anyone to keep an eye on her anymore.
She even took a lot of burdens off Ah Chen, who now can enjoy more free time, at least having time for romance during the day.
Ning Yutong boldly and assertively quickly made a name for herself.
Since Ah Chen was conferred the title of king, every family confirmed that the current Emperor wouldn’t harm Prince Ning Mansion and couldn’t lay their hands on Ah Chen, turning their attention to his sisters.
Among them were many noble families who fancied Ning Yutong, believing her personality and abilities made her a suitable matriarch. In truth, they mostly valued her as a talent in business. If they could marry Ning Yutong, their family’s businesses and estates would certainly be well-managed, with the support of Prince Ning Mansion, wouldn’t that mean heaps of silver? Silver is something everyone loves, from the Emperor to the commoners.
Ah Chen laughed and scolded, saying they were dreaming.
Before she was conferred as a king, Ning Yutong’s reputation was not very good, with many secretly criticizing her as embarrassing and defying women’s virtues.
So, in the face of profit, no rule seems too important.
If they still adhered to them, it must be because the profits were insufficient.
Ning Yutong didn’t even need Ah Chen to refuse, she handled the matter herself.
She said: "I am indeed looking to choose a husband; if anyone wishes to join Prince Ning Mansion, come to Prince Ning Mansion at the end of the month, and we shall talk in person. Just as you think, I am only seeking a husband."
These words drove away countless people.
There were still some unwilling ones who attempted to persuade Ning Yutong. But everyone had their status and was decent, so if a few words didn’t work, they could only leave. As for what they said behind her back, it was none of Prince Ning Mansion’s concern.
Outside, some people projected the situation onto themselves, as if they missed out on a benefit, especially with Ning Yutong’s manner of not seeing men as significant, which made them very uncomfortable. Encountering her by chance at a teahouse, without thinking, they rushed over, pointed at her in a fit of anger, and said she was delusional, marrying someone like her, given her age, was already fortunate, yet she dares to dream of recruiting a husband.
This person also bore ill intentions, hoping to see Ning Yutong lose her temper.
That would be quite entertaining.
Women care most about appearance and age; Ning Yutong should be sensitive to these remarks.
But Ning Yutong was far from ordinary, having seen various types in the business field, how could she be easily provoked into losing her composure?
She smiled brightly: "Isn’t it that each family wants to court me now? This gentleman, if you have an eye problem, you should get it treated early, otherwise when you’re young and become blind, who knows what you’ll do with your life. Sir, are you married? Your clothes are not luxurious, and although you are not wealthy, your palms are smooth like someone who hasn’t done labor, someone in your family must be supporting you; you’re probably someone who is idle and unversed with basic skills. If you’re not yet married, being blind and saying such ignorant things probably won’t help you find a wife. If you’re married already, you must have a diligent wife, a household can’t have too many idle people."
The observers remained silent, her words were truly incisive yet not vulgar.
"At such an age, being cared for by parents is unfilial, being supported by siblings is being a leech, and if supported by a wife, you’re useless, not a real man."
"You, you..." The young man’s face turned red, all he could muster was incoherent mumbling.
Those who had interacted with Ning Yutong shook their heads gently, wondering why this lazy young man had to provoke her? A woman who mingles so successfully among them cannot be simple?
See, he got scolded ruthlessly.
"I know of a skill, quite suitable if one day you become blind, you can still make a living, might as well learn it while you’re not blind, perhaps it might come in handy," Ning Yutong wasn’t the type to have a good temper, previously with Prince Ning above, she didn’t dare show her personality, only obeying rules to appear as a gentlewoman.
Now, she needn’t care about that anymore.
Ah Chen said, as long as she lives happily, she can live however she wants.
She really couldn’t swallow her pride, she must vent it to feel comfortable.
Ah Chen spoiled her, with her current temperament, not many could tolerate it.
Thinking about her, Ah Chen merely smiled lightly, saying there was no problem, she could afford to spoil her.
The surrounding people were curious about what skill Ning Yutong mentioned.
Only to hear Ning Yutong say: "Blind men knead feet, here’s a clear path for you, spare some time to learn it, it’s also a livelihood skill."
The crowd had peculiar expressions, while the young man was so furious he stumbled backward and fell with a thud.
Those watching shook their heads lightly, she was not someone to mess with, unable to be defeated in argument, and with an identity not to be provoked.
"Oh, you should’ve seen how furious that man became." Ning Yutong recounted her earlier encounter to Ah Chen when she returned home, "I am truly kind, even had the doctor by my side wake him up."
Ah Chen suddenly brought out an invitation: "Zhou Yuanjia is getting married."
He even sent Ning Yutong an invitation, unclear what he was thinking.
Perhaps he wanted to tell Ning Yutong that his true love was his cousin Cheng Lingqing?
Ning Yutong glanced at it and tossed it aside, completely indifferent: "Does he think I’m still pining for him? His brain must be full of maggots."
Ah Chen: "..."
"Fine, since he invited me, I will go," Ning Yutong thought for a moment and said, "I’ll send him a big gift."
Seeing her demeanor, Ah Chen suddenly said, "You wouldn’t send a Guanyin statuette of fertility to him, would you?"
"Ah Chen, you really are, how did you know what I was thinking?"
Ah Chen found it amusing, knowing Ning Yutong’s personality somewhat well, she guessed correctly without effort.
"Initially wanted to send a gilded one, but the outer layer of gold is still gold, and I can’t bear to part with it." Ning Yutong sighed, "I’m going to insult him, not send him money, but I can’t let it look too cheap and make me seem poor."
Ah Chen then recalled something: "Recently acquired a material somewhat similar to gold, found in abundance in a small nation, easily mistakable for gold if not careful, use this material."
Ning Yutong burst into laughter on the spot.
On Zhou Yuanjia’s wedding day, she indeed sent a gold-colored Guanyin statuette of fertility.
The wedding that day turned into a laughingstock.
Zhou Yuanjia regretted it immensely, he shouldn’t have provoked Ning Yutong again. From that point forward, Ning Yutong’s reputation for being fierce and vengeful truly spread, making no one dare to provoke her lightly.
Weian Earl Mansion never gave up looking for the Divine Doctor, without success.
Ning Yutong indeed met a few men but found none satisfactory, and temporarily decided not to consider any, focusing wholly on business.
Her fifth sister, Ning Yuxue and her husband, still didn’t return to the capital; Jian Jikang, upon completing his tenure, was quickly reassigned elsewhere, evidently Ye Ji found him quite efficient. The couple also didn’t wish to return, enjoying their comfort outside.
