Hearing this, Ning Wanwan felt a surge of guilt. In her previous life, influenced by He and Lin Yuetong, she had distanced herself from her grandmother and rarely visited Suyu Hall.
Now, reflecting on her grandmother’s light-hearted remark, she realized how hurt her grandmother must have been during that time.
Turning to kneel before her grandmother, she took Old Madam Ning’s hands and solemnly said, “Grandmother, I’m sorry. I was ignorant before, listened to rumors, and deliberately distanced myself from you. Now I know you are the one who loves me most in this world. I will only listen to your words, please be assured.”
Old Madam Ning was moved to tears, tightly holding Ning Wanwan’s hands, “With these words, grandmother can die without regrets.”
Ning Wanwan pouted, “Grandmother, don’t say such inauspicious things. I don’t like to hear them.”
Ning Laotai suddenly burst into laughter, wiping away tears and nodding, “Good, good, let’s talk about something else.”
Ning Wanwan stood up and returned to Ning Laotai’s back to massage her shoulders. She said, “In a few days, it will be New Year’s Eve. You can host a banquet in the mansion, inviting your friends to gather and liven things up.”
In her previous life, Ning Wanwan hosted a small banquet during the New Year, inviting her boudoir sisters from Biandu City. Everyone came due to the Ning Mansion’s reputation, but there were hardly two truly close friends – it was just for liveliness.
Reborn in this life, Ning Wanwan had lost interest in such excitement. She shook her head and said, “I’ve hosted it every year. This year I’m tired and don’t want to do it.”
Ning Laotai was somewhat surprised, feeling that the child had become quieter recently. Worrying about Wanwan, she tried to help her relax and asked, “Don’t you love polo?”
I just heard that before New Year’s Eve, the Marquess, the Empress’s younger sister, will host a women’s polo match at Yao Dao Willow Path. You can go and play.”
Song people loved polo, especially the nobility who took pride in their skills.
Ning Wanwan smiled at Ning Laotai’s kind face, saying: “Grandmother hoped I would restrain my edge and not show off in public.”
