The Legendary Swordmaster

Chapter. 8. Judgment

The memory that appeared in Nangong Rong's brain was getting crazy when she remembered her mother again. That was a very heavy decision, manipulating the whole family. Only to have a trial and punishment of eviction from the house.

***

A few months ago ….

Nangong Xueyin sobbed incessantly in the General Ning Family's assembly hall. This middle-aged woman stared blankly at the figure of her daughter standing in the middle of the hall waiting for her father's decision.

“Ning Rong Rong! I believe in your chastity, I won't blame you, but the final decision, it's your father who makes the decision. You have to be strong, my daughter!” Nangong Xueyin thought.

The lines of beauty can be seen in the figure of the woman who is crying, she can't speak, she just keeps on crying.

At her side were three other women the same age as Nangong Xueyin, however, they had a slightly different look on their faces, a look of happiness that was trying to hide behind the tears of mockery.

“Nangong Xueyin! Oh, Nangong Xueyin! Feel this suffering little by little! Your daughter was banished from the Ning Family, because of this disgrace your daughter brought you, is it still possible for you to become Commander-in-Chief Ning's beloved concubine?” thought the woman sitting by Nangong Xueyin's side.

They are the wives and concubines of the Great Commander Ning.

Commander Ning Quanzhong was the fourth prince of the Han Empire. It is normal for a Prince to have four wives.

However, because he liked Nangong Xueyin so much, the other wives and concubines felt jealous. Including their children.

Ning Rong-Rong was extraordinary, she was beautiful, she was shrewd and she was the princess that society was very proud of in terms of strength, she was a peerless Great Warrior, and this fact added to the jealousy in the family.

Ning Rong-Rong, standing amidst the glares of all Ning family members, tears kept falling down her cheeks, even though she tried to defend herself, it was useless, she couldn't defend herself anymore, and strong evidence against her crime was seen clearly. all Families.

Now she is just waiting for the final decision from her father.

Dark face iron, the father stood up from his seat. “Rebellious child! You can have a big name in the Martial World. However, the honor of the Ning Family must always be maintained ....”

Pausing for a moment, trembling violently with anger, the father continued, “Ning Rong-Rong, from today. I declare you out of the Ning family register. Later in the afternoon, the Ning family will prepare a fake funeral for you ….”

“Then the entire city of Luoyang who dares to mention your name will also be sentenced to death.”

“Immediately pack up all your things, you are nobody in this family anymore, and never come back to here and this city again …” Ning Quanzhong's voice was low as the last sentence was given.

As soon as the final decision was made, even louder cries broke out from Ning Rong-Rong's mother. However, she couldn't act more, what could a woman like her do? She only knows how to embroider and write poetry like the wives of government officials.

Receiving such a verdict Ning Rong-Rong bowed her head deeply. “Good!” She answered briefly, she did not dare to answer 'Fine Dad!'

Still looking down like that, Ning Rong-Rong returned to her room and started packing clothes, she didn't take many clothes, just wrapped a few pieces of clothes that belonged to people of the martial arts clan.

“Knock! Knock! Knock!” 

There was a knock on the bedroom door, Ning Rong-Rong knew, it was the Mother who knocked. Even though she didn't see it, the sound of soft, heavy footsteps and small sobs could still be heard, even though she was trying to cover it up.

“Rong'er! Mother, come in!” asked a soft female voice from across the door.

“Yes, Mom. Come in! Rong'er also wants to talk to you, Mom. Just before Rong'er leaves.” Ning Rong-Rong answered, inviting her mother to enter.

The middle-aged woman who had been crying in the family courtroom before, entered Ning Rong-Rong's bedroom, trying her best to hold back her tears from coming out at that time. She was not willing to lose her only daughter.

Ning Rong-Rong didn't wait for her mother to speak, she left her activities and moved quickly to hug her mother, the tears she tried to hold back finally melted too. “I'm sorry, Mom!” 

Only those words came out of the girl's mouth.

It's not that she's afraid to be alone out there, or she's afraid that she won't be able to survive out there. For Ning Rong-Rong it's not a problem, after all, she's used to it, she's strong, she's an unrivaled genius in both martial arts and literacy. She wasn't worried about her fate at all.

But what she wept and regretted was the fate of her mother who she had to leave behind. She realized that her father loved her mother very much, but not all residents of the large family residence liked her mother.

The mother's cry also broke out, for her even though Rong'er is an unrivaled great warrior, there is still a sense of worry, especially since this child is a girl, the danger for a woman is greater than for a man.

Yes! Even though the worry of a mother is just an exaggerated reason, that's how a mother is, no matter how great a child is, be it a boy or a girl, for a mother, a child is still a child forever, who she will always worry about, love and love completely heart.

Even though a child is old and twilight, for a mother she is still a child in her eyes, who always needs protection and affection from a mother.

The hug between mother and child was long, even very long. Nangong Xueyin let go of the hug, trying to be brave, she wiped the tears from Ning Rong-Rong's face. “Rong'er doesn't need to apologize, to me as your mother. Rong'er is still the greatest daughter. There's no need to be regretful. I believe Rong'er is still the same as before, a mighty holy maiden.”

It's funny to see these two women at different ages, they both worry about each other.

“...” Ning Rong-Rong was speechless, she just kept nodding slowly, saying goodbye to her mother, who knows when she will be able to reunite.

“Rong'er! Mother can't give you any advice, what can I say, Rong'er already understands better, only two things Rong'er must always remember ... first; be careful of a man, they are womanizer creatures who are good at hiding the intentions of the heart. And secondly, be careful of beautiful women like you and yourself, remember! The prettier a woman is, the better she is at lying.” Nangong Xueyin gave a short piece of advice.

“Okay, Mom! Your advice will always be remembered by Rong'er.” Ning Rong-Rong could only answer briefly and softly every word from her mother.

Nangong Xueyin took off some of the jewelry she was wearing. “Your, Mom only has some of this jewelry, use it as your provision later!” Nangong Xueyin walked over to the sleeping bed and stuffed the jewelry into Ning Rong-Rong's clothes bundle.

Ning Rong-Rong just let what her mother did, in fact, she never worried about her future livelihood, even without the support of her family, after all, what she had achieved during her adventures in the Martial World and every treasure she had saved was enough for living independently.

However, it was a kindness from her mother that she could not refuse.

The mother hugged Ning Rong-Rong tightly again. ”Be careful out there my son!” The mother whispered.

“Okay, Mom! You also take good care of yourself here, take care of her health. and eat regularly. And don't worry too much about Rong'er! It is time for Rong'er to secretly leave here, mother also has to attend Rong'er's fake funeral.” Ning Rong-Rong reminded her mother.

Releasing her embrace, Nangong Xueyin quickly walked out of Ning Rong-Rong's room.
