"You're fine..." Ning Zu'an stared at Ling Shi and said fiercely, the two veins on his forehead twitched violently.
Ling Shi felt bad just now, but she couldn't get in the conversation for a while, Ning Xueyan said one sentence after another, which made her unable to keep up with her thoughts. This time she realized that it was too late, and she subconsciously called out: " Marquis!"
His feet were so weak that he couldn't stand upright, and fell to the ground weakly, knocking against a pillar on one side, and blood flowed from his head immediately!
Nanny Chen hurriedly went to help her, and shouted anxiously to the surroundings: "Hurry up, go and help Madam back to the yard, and ask the doctor to come and show Madam, ah, this injury is so serious, what should I do?"
Seeing Ling's miserable state, Ning Zu'an frowned slightly, and hesitated for a moment when Mammy Chen said about going back to the courtyard, after all, they were married for many years, and he really couldn't bear it.
"Master Hou," Aunt Ma suddenly took two steps forward, knelt down in front of Ning Zu'an with a "plop", and said tearfully, "Master Hou, please let the maid and concubine live. I won’t take a single cent of the Hou Mansion with me when I go out, and from now on, the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha will pray for Lord Hou and Mrs. Tai.”
After talking about it, I couldn't make a sound.
Looking at the pair of wronged beautiful eyes, pale and bleeding face, and the streak of blood on the corners of his lips, Ning Zuan felt pity, and was even more annoyed at Ling Shi. He stretched out his hand to pull Aunt Ma, and said gently : "Why do you say that, you are the aunt of the Hou family, how can you become a monk, this matter has nothing to do with you, I will definitely find a good doctor for you, and always take good care of your body."
"No, Lord Hou, the maid and concubine don't dare to live anymore, I'm afraid...I'm afraid that at some point, the eldest lady will make such a thing about me having an adulterer again." Aunt Ma said firmly with tears in her eyes, with blood dripping from the corners of her lips. , can appear delicate and pitiful.
"Father, don't embarrass Aunt Ma anymore." Ning Xueyan said softly on the side.
"What embarrassment?" Ning Zu'an was taken aback, but then his eyes fell on Ling Shi who fell to the ground.
"Father, the truth of the matter is that Aunt Ma suffered such a great grievance, but in the end she almost died inexplicably. Yesterday, a bowl of medicine killed her offspring, and today it is Caili... If this continues, what will Auntie do?" There is still a way to survive, so I just take this opportunity to go out of the mansion, and the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha is fine, at least I can live well." Ning Xueyan sighed, these words sounded like persuading Ning Zuan, but Ning Zuan His fire was burning upwards, he was a majestic marquis, but he couldn't even protect a woman.
"Master Hou, the concubine is a woman of low birth. She used to set up a stage in the troupe and drink a play. She is not from a good family. If a man comes out from time to time, he will say that he has something to do with the concubine." It doesn't matter, how can the maid and concubine have the face to live! Now, the maid and concubine have no thoughts of life."
As she spoke, Aunt Ma turned her head and gave Ning Xueyan a deep bow, crying: "Miss Wu, I'm really sorry, I said before that I put poison in the medicine of Miss Wu, and it was entirely the Da Furen who asked me to say so. I only said that if I please the eldest lady, I can serve Lord Hou better. Besides, the eldest lady also said that I will be fine, as long as I pretend to be pregnant, I can hide it from the past. The doctor's place is also played by the eldest lady, but who would have thought , Da Furen actually intends to kill me and Fifth Miss all at once!"
What Aunt Ma said is true and false, it sounds very reasonable, all these things, in this way, are all connected in series.
Ning Zu'an's face was not only filled with anger, but even the expression of Mrs. Tai who was sitting on it was extremely ugly.
"Master Hou, the concubine is favored by the concubine, it shouldn't be, the lady can't tolerate the concubine, she wants to deal with the concubine and the fifth girl together, fortunately, the fifth girl is a broad-minded person, otherwise the concubine will die , is also unclean, and it also brings the reputation of Lord Hou... "
One sentence made Ning Zu'an's face purple with anger, and he almost roared out. He stared coldly at Ling Shi who was being supported by everyone, and said, "Madam, isn't she going to visit the Buddhist temple? Hurry up and drag her away, dawdle!" What!"
In one sentence, Chen Momo and the maids who were busy surrounding Ling Shi were all stunned by scolding. Even though Ling Shi closed his eyes and didn't open them, his heart ached. How could he disregard the relationship between husband and wife? , Shut myself in the Buddhist hall, which makes me how to see people in the future.
"Get lost!" Ning Zu'an said angrily with an unprecedented sternness on his face.
Now no one dared to hesitate anymore, regardless of dealing with Ling's head injury, he half supported and half hugged Ling, who was pretending to be dizzy, and hurried out to the Buddhist hall, not daring to bring up the matter of Yunxia courtyard again.
"Master Hou..." Aunt Ma said pitifully, "Master Hou, you are always the eldest lady, maids and concubines can't make Master Hou so difficult..."
"Don't worry, if someone says something like this about you in the future, I won't believe it again!" Ning Zu'an promised.
That is to say, in the future, even if Ling Shi threatens people from the theater troupe, Ning Zu'an will not believe it. Aunt Ma couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mother, I'll take her there and ask the doctor to take a look." Ning Zu'an turned to Mrs. Tai, and looked at Aunt Ma with a bit of guilt in her eyes. Yesterday she had such a big accident, but he listened to Ling's words and suspected She never went to see her.
"Go!" Mrs. Tai touched her blunt head and waved her hands. After such a commotion yesterday and today, Mrs. Tai only felt haggard and had a headache.
Worried about Aunt Ma's body, Ning Zu'an went out very quickly this time, and did not notice the displeasure on Madam Tai's face at all.
Ning Xueyan looked at this scene indifferently, and waited until Ning Zuan went out, then walked lightly behind Mrs. Tai, stretched out her hands and gently kneaded the temples on both sides of Mrs. Tai. In this life, the Ming family also If she has a headache, Ning Xueyan will always gently knead it for her.
Mrs. Tai was pinched comfortably, opened her eyes a little and saw clearly that it was Ning Xueyan, she couldn't help but sighed softly: "Fifth girl, I have wronged you, do you blame grandma?"
Ning Xueyan smiled slightly, and said softly: "Yan'er doesn't complain!"
Of course it's not just resentment, it's hatred!
After hearing this, Mrs. Tai was really very useful, with a smile on her face: "Your mother's elder brother is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he is very favored by the Holy One. It is said that he may be mentioned as a minister. Although your mother is not too troublesome recently, It's always because she loves her daughter, Yan'er, don't worry, it will never be like this in the future."
Is this a guarantee to her
If she really believed it, she would only get another death without a place to bury her.
Ling's elder brother is now favored, so no matter what, the Marquis Protector will not cut off this in-law. These words seem to be sighing, but they are actually beatings. This is a warning to Ning Xueyan that enough is enough!
Even threatening.
Ning Xueyan sneered in her heart. At this point, Mrs. Tai is still wholeheartedly protecting the Ling family. In terms of blood relationship, the Ming family is still her own niece, and she didn't care about what happened in the backyard. How could the wily Mrs. Tai know nothing.
Unless she originally hoped so!
For so many years, Mingshuang Courtyard has been almost closed. The Ming family and himself have been living in a difficult life in the mansion. They have been bullied, but they have never extended a helping hand. Now the Ling family is only slightly punished, but Mrs. Tai came to beat How can I not make people feel cold.
What is the reason that Mrs. Tai is partial to this!
It doesn't hurt to leave her own niece alone, but she just accommodates the Ling family! How could there be no reason for this!
"Thank you grandma, grandma, how is big sister?" Ning Xueyan smiled slightly, and asked lightly, and his subordinates still rubbed for Mrs. Tai vigorously.
Seeing that Ning Xueyan didn't insist on asking, she was obviously a smart person, Mrs. Tai nodded secretly, but when she thought about Ning Ziyan, she felt depressed again: "Your eldest brother-in-law will not be able to take the spring boudoir exam next year, Yan'er The child in the stomach is gone, and the reputation of the Hou Mansion..."
"Grandmother, I heard that maid from Xia Mansion talk about Sister Ziying that day. Didn't Sister Ziying avoid suspicion when she met her eldest brother-in-law before?" Ning Xueyan asked casually.
As soon as these words came out, the veins on Mrs. Tai's forehead twitched a few times.
"Maybe it's... your eldest sister and Ning Ziying have always had a good relationship... that's why they don't avoid suspicion so much." Mrs. Tai's eyes flickered slightly.
"Then why did Sister Ziying commit suicide suddenly and threw herself into a lotus pond? Everyone in the mansion said that Sister Ziying was murdered. Someone heard screams from Yun Theater that night. " Ning Xueyan still gently rubbed Mrs. Tai's forehead with her hand, she didn't see the sarcasm in the corner of her eyes.
"Who is talking nonsense?" Mrs. Tai pushed Ning Xueyan's hand away, turned her head and asked sharply.
"I... I didn't pay attention either. Just the day before yesterday, when I walked through a courtyard gate, I heard a few maids behind the wall talking about something. When I turned around and looked in, I had long since disappeared." Already." Ning Xueyan seemed to be frightened, she took a while to sort out her thoughts, and replied.
"Next time, when you encounter such a nonsense servant, you don't need to say anything, just pull out the stick and kill him!" Mrs. Tai said viciously.
If the matter of Ning Ziying is leaked out, the House of the Marquis of Huguo may cause a catastrophe. How can Mrs. Tai not be angry? Nervous, the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes jumped uncontrollably.
The voice was cold.
"Grandmother, can't you tell me about sister Ziying?" Ning Xueyan asked deliberately pretending to be dazed.
Mrs. Tai's sharp eyes fell on Ning Xueyan, but she only saw her calm and dazed look, and she looked upright. Thinking about how she has not been out of Mingshuangyuan for so many years, it should be impossible to know Ning Ziying. Therefore, it was impossible to set his own words, and the expression on his face softened again.
"Yan'er, you should not ask about Ning Ziying's matter. She just lives in our house, and her own affairs have nothing to do with us. If someone inquires about it in the future, you can only say that she has been living in Mingshuangyuan I have never seen it before, that is, those trivial things were all brought about by herself."
My father died and my mother died, and I have no relatives. I have lived in the Huguohou Mansion for several years, and no one has ever asked me why I am suddenly told that I may be asked about it. At this moment, Ning Xueyan Soberly realized that the cause of his death was not that simple.
In the last life, what trivial matter did I ignore!
Ling's mother and daughter and Xia Yuhang only took their own lives the night before they got married. It was really only because they were greedy for their own dowry that they endured themselves until the end, waiting for the dowry to enter the gate of Xia's mansion. Expose your vicious nature!
Those dowries are certainly valuable, but compared to those of the Ming family, they are incomparable at all. The Ling family who swallowed the Ming family's dowry is rich and powerful, why risked being found out about the truth of the marriage, and kept himself until the end !
The longer you stay, the easier it is for people to suspect this matter. Although he has always kept a low profile in his previous life, in order to gain his trust, Xia Yuhang often came to his cloud theater. There are not a few people in the mansion, and people talk a lot Miscellaneous, taking such a risk is really only because of property!
The answer is definitely "no"!
