394 Family Worry
The old man did not want to expose those people’s thoughts. He changed the topic and asked Ning Yue, “Do you have any plans now?”
“The crown prince’s coronation is in a month. At that time, I want to go to the capital with Jiang Ying,” Ning Yue said.
When Old Master Ning heard Ning Yue say that she was going to the capital again, he couldn’t help but complain, “You just came back. Why are you going there again?”
“I have no choice. Grandpa, do you want to come with me when the time comes? The capital is very prosperous. Let’s go together,” Ning Yue said with a smile.
“How about it? Everyone, think about it. In any case, I won’t leave for a month. Everyone can take this month to think about it,” Ning Yue said.
Old Master Ning frowned. “Yueyue, how much will it cost for so many of us to go to the capital? Where will we live in the capital? Have you thought about these things?”
“Don’t worry, Grandpa. Since I’ve already invited everyone, I’ll arrange these things. Of course, I’m only in charge of everyone’s food and accommodation. You can settle the rest yourselves,” Ning Yue said.
She had a bold idea. The crown prince’s coronation would take a few days. After the crown prince became emperor, his wife would be conferred the title of empress.
These ceremonies would take nearly a month. In this month, she could take the opportunity to do some business in the capital.
“Alright, there’s no hurry to decide. In any case, Yueyue said that she won’t leave for the capital for a month. Take this time to consider it,” Old Master Ning said.
After everyone dispersed, Old Master Ning’s expression suddenly became serious.
“Ning Yue, tell me honestly. What exactly happened to the two of you? Don’t fool me with those words,” the old man said.
He had almost never called Ning Yue by her full name. Even though she was naughty when she was young, Old Master Ning still said, “Yueyue, you can’t do this.”
Now that Old Master Ning called her that, it seemed that he had many doubts about Ning Yue’s explanation.
Ning Yue sighed and told Old Master Ning what had happened on the way.
She wanted to only pick some unimportant things to say, but her words could not gain Old Master Ning’s trust.
Therefore, Ning Yue still told him about being chased. However, she did not describe the urgent situation and only said a few simple words.
Even though Ning Yue said it casually, Old Master Ning was shocked.
He widened his eyes at Ning Yue. “Why were you chased for no reason?”
Old Master Ning was scared to death.
“Grandpa, Jiang Ying is also investigating this matter. We suspect that it has something to do with my background.” Ning Yue did not explain the matter too clearly. Sometimes, knowing too much was not a good thing.
“Your background? Is it because of your uncle?” Old Master Ning quickly associated the matter with Yuan Hui.
“More or less.” Ning Yue added, “We haven’t found out what it is yet. We just have doubts in this regard.”
“Yueyue, why do I feel that after your uncle acknowledged you, he still let you live in deep trouble?” Old Master Ning sighed.
“Grandpa, let’s not talk about this anymore. I’ve been away for the past few days. Did the work at the oil press and brewery go on normally? Did those workers do their best? How much money did we earn?” Ning Yue smiled and changed the topic.
Of course, Old Master Ning also knew that Ning Yue was deliberately changing the topic. Her goal was not to make him worry, so Old Master Ning replied cooperatively, “Everything is fine. The workers all say that we’re the best bosses they’ve met.”
“With such good bosses, of course they’ll do their best,” Old Master Ning said with a smile.
“That’s good. I was worried that if those workers didn’t work hard, our efficiency would decrease. At that time, this business wouldn’t work,” Ning Yue replied.
“Don’t worry. Grandpa is here. What are you worried about?” Old Master Ning smiled lovingly at Ning Yue.
