"Hey, isn't this fifth sister? Why are you still carrying the food basket at this time? Grandma has already eaten at my grandmother's place. Isn't it too late for you to send it at this time?" Running into Ning Lingyun who was also going to Xiangfu Garden, seeing the food basket in Lan Ning's hand, she couldn't help but sneered.
Ning Xueyan didn't pay attention to Ning Lingyun's bitter and mean temper. Ning Lingyun, a concubine, always favored Ning Yuling, she wholeheartedly flattered the Ling family, so that she could find a good marriage in the future, but Ning Xueyan knew very well that Ning Lingyun would only become a stepping stone for Ling's children in the end.
"Fourth sister, who offended you, why are you so angry?" Ning Xueyan glanced at her lightly.
"Fifth sister is really a noble person who forgets things too much. You asked me to see the second sister that day. You provoked the second sister, but you didn't dare to show up. Instead, let me take care of it. I really have the guts." Thinking of going to see Ning In the scene of Yuling, Ning Lingyun felt the sharpest pain on his face.
Originally, I went to see Ning Yuling for a good time, and gave Ning Yuling two boxes of makeup in her own name, and Ning Yuling was very happy!
But when she heard that she was coming from Ning Xueyan, Ning Yuling changed her face on the spot and ran away in a hurry.
What happened afterwards, not only Ning Yuling was scolded, but even Ling's family was not settled, because when Ning Yuling left, she didn't tell her to go, and Ning Lingyun didn't dare to leave.
When Ning Yuling came back, Ning Lingyun went up to meet her and wanted to flatter her, but she slapped her face a few times and then kicked her again before leaving.
Those few blows by Ning Yuling were all out of hatred, and she beat Ning Lingyun so hard that she fell to the ground. It was her maid who supported her before she left Qingrong Garden. Lie in bed and rest.
Ning Lingyun didn't dare to hate Ning Yuling, but instead vented all her anger on Ning Xueyan, who would be angry if she saw Ning Xueyan.
"Fourth sister has provoked second sister, so what does it have to do with me, second sister is angry because of fourth sister, I can't see clearly." Ning Xueyan said lightly.
"What? Did I offend the second sister? It's all about you, the bastard. You're the one who killed me. Let's see how many things have happened in this mansion since you came out of Mingshuang Courtyard. It's all about you!" Ning Lingyun was almost angry. Jumping up, he stretched out his finger angrily, so arrogantly that he almost touched Ning Xueyan's nose.
"What's wrong with the fourth sister? This happened to my mother. What are you doing here? Do you still think the house is not too chaotic?" Ning Xueyan didn't move, she looked at Ning Lingyun calmly. , with a hint of sarcasm at the corners of his lips.
Ning Lingyun choked when she said this, looked around, lowered her voice unconsciously, gritted her teeth and refused to stop, and said: "It's you who made this mansion like this, if You have always been in peace, and you have never come out in Mingshuangyuan, how could you make it like this, you evil spirit!"
Feeling being provoked, Ning Lingyun cursed more and more angrily.
Harmful? Ning Xueyan curled her lips, Ning Lingyun was beaten by Ning Yuling herself, and she didn't dare to take revenge, but used herself to vent her anger. Isn't it because she felt that her status was inferior, and she was even inferior to her! The persimmons are soft to pinch.
"Fourth sister, are you trying to please your mother and second sister? It's a pity, I heard that your mother has already chosen a marriage for you, Ping Anhou, have you heard of it? That's what mother prepared for you. Fourth sister should still Go to the Buddhist hall to thank mother!"
Seeing that the time was about the same, Ning Xueyan had no energy to toss with Ning Lingyun, and smiled coldly.
Marquis of Ping'an
Ning Lingyun was startled, her face suddenly turned pale, and she raised her head to look at Ning Xueyan inexplicably horrified.
"Fourth sister should think about how to please Ping Anhou. I heard that his grandson is a few years older than fourth sister. Fourth sister married and is a ready-made grandmother. Mother thinks about fourth sister, and she is also thankful. For many years, my fourth sister has served her with all my heart."
Ning Xueyan's eyes were dark and deep, and the smile floated in the deep eyes, revealing a strange coldness, looking at Ning Lingyun, as if she came from the Nine Nether Underworld, the Netherworld.
Such eyes are not what a boudoir girl should have. Ning Lingyun shivered involuntarily. Chill.
Ning Xueyan didn't look at Ning Lingyun again, and walked forward with Lan Ning Shiran, flowing and graceful, without being affected by Ning Lingyun in the slightest.
"Girl, Da Furen, do you really want to promise you to Marquis Ping'an?" Caiyun, the maid who followed Ning Lingyun, couldn't help asking.
Marquis Ping'an is very famous in the capital. He is still looking for flowers and willows at such an old age. He is also the only one in the capital. There are eighteen concubines in his family. All of them are young and beautiful, but they still can't bear the loneliness and go to the house from time to time. Picking up women here, a good Hou's mansion, full of women who can't stand on the stage.
What's more, the sons and grandsons he gave birth to are all of that kind. The aunts and wives in those mansions not only drag the old ones, but also the young ones. It is the most unclean mansion.
Such a family, the daughter of a good family, who would want to marry her! For those who are clear and upright, entering is a dead end.
"No, no, mother won't do that." Ning Lingyun gritted her teeth, but the words sounded more like emboldening herself, "Let's go and see mother!"
Although she didn't know if what Ning Xueyan said was true, she didn't dare to bet, she had to go to find out the news at this time, thinking that if she married that old flower ghost, and those middle-aged and little flower ghosts in his house, Ning Lingyun felt cold and terrified.
There is almost an intuition that what Ning Xueyan said is true, Ling's really planned it this way...
Is what Ning Xueyan said true
"Girl, how do you know?" After walking for a while, Lan Ning couldn't help asking cautiously.
"Ning Ziyan said it." Ning Xueyan turned her head and glanced at Lan Ning, and smiled.
It was really Ning Ziyan who said this, but at that time Ning Ziyan said it to Ning Ziying.
Once, Ning Ziying and Ning Ziyan went to pick up Xia Yuhang together. They were walking at the gate of the garden when they saw the matchmaker walking by. He came as a matchmaker with Ping'an Hou.
"What did the eldest girl say... Where did the eldest lady say it?" Lan Ning's heart tightened, and she felt a little nervous for no reason. She stared at Ning Xueyan closely, and asked almost subconsciously.
When Ning Ziyan said this, Lan Ning was also with Ning Ziying, so she heard the truth, but why did the fifth girl know that the people present at that time had nothing to do with Mingshuangyuan.
"Don't worry about how I know, I'll tell you after a certain time, it's not the time yet!" Ning Xueyan smiled slightly, knowing what Lan Ning suspected.
Now, it's really not the right time. Of course, her own death was caused by Ling and Ning Ziyan, but now she is more and more aware that it's not that simple.
Some things can be seen more clearly from the perspective of an outsider.
She has been looking for opportunities to talk to Ning Lingyun about the matter between Ning Lingyun and Marquis Ping'an. Although Ning Lingyun is a concubine, she is absolutely unwilling to become Marquis Ping'an's successor. It hasn't been publicized yet, and Ning Lingyun's marriage was slowed down because of her mother's death.
How could Ning Lingyun be willing to marry Pinganhou...
She heard that Marquis Ping'an had a daughter!
In the Xiangfu courtyard, Ning Xueyan respectfully saluted Mrs. Tai and Ning Zuan, and then stood aside.
On the couch, Mrs. Tai sat there with a gloomy face, looked at Ning Xueyan sharply, and asked slowly after a while, "I heard that you specially delivered food to Aunt Ma?"
"Yes, go to see Aunt Ma, and ask Aunt Ma some things by the way." Ning Xueyan said generously, meeting Madam Tai's gaze openly and honestly.
Aunt Ma and her affairs cannot be hidden from anyone!
Using fake pregnancy to evade responsibility, this matter is related to Ning Xueyan no matter where it comes from, it is normal to ask.
Seeing that Ning Xueyan admitted it very straightforwardly, without any concealment, Mrs. Tai's face was slightly calm, and she pointed to the chair beside her, motioning her to sit down.
"Fifth girl, what happened to your elder sister made the entire mansion lose face. Your mother was punished by the empress before, and now she is cultivating her heart in the Buddhist hall again. It seems that she is not virtuous enough. Our Hou Mansion Fame, can't bear to make trouble again."
Mrs. Tai's words sounded like she was sighing, and she gave Ning Xueyan a sideways look from the corner of her eyes after speaking.
Ning Zu'an, who was sitting on the side, also nodded, and said with a gentle attitude: "If you make a mistake, you will be fined. Forget it, Yan'er will be the head of the house in the future, and more attention should be paid to the decency of the entire house. .”
Ning Xueyan sneered in her heart, she already knew that these two people's thoughts were to let her ignore the fact that Aunt Ma poisoned her!
If you don't track down Aunt Ma, you won't catch Ling's pigtail!
Take the dignity of the entire Hou Mansion to suppress myself, so that I will not pursue Ling's murder of my life!
Anyway, she is also the concubine of the Hou family. In the eyes of the two of them, the life of her own flesh and blood is not worth the face of the Ling family. No wonder, the Ming family in memory has never had extravagant expectations for Ning Zuan. Even Nanny Han advised her to dress up and leave Mingshuangyuan, but she never did it.
What should I really think about such a cheap man!
Biting the corner of her lips lightly, she suppressed the coldness in her eyes, raised her head, and still smiled faintly: "Grandmother, the matter of Aunt Ma is rumored by the outside world, and the former uncle even said that he would ask for it in person. It'll be here in two days."
"Did you tell your uncle?" Ning Zu'an said with a bad expression.
"Father, there are so many people in Hanshan Temple, and many people came to our Marquis' Mansion later. At the banquet yesterday, from time to time, a lady asked people about this matter! Among the servants, this matter has already been spread widely. "
Mingxiu secretly said, and kept Chen Cang in secret, since they focused on this, Ning Xueyan was more willing to attract more of their attention, so that they would not find out their real purpose.
"Do you want your mother to accompany you?" Ning Zu'an didn't intend to let her go, and asked aggressively, staring at her sharply, as if he wanted to penetrate Ning Xueyan and her heart.
