When the door opened, the veins on Ning Zu'an's forehead bulged, and his eyes turned from Ling Shi to Ping'an Hou, with a murderous look.
Seeing Ning Zu'an with a murderous look, Marquis Ping'an's face was pale, and he was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground like Ling Shi, forcing a flattering smile on his face: "Guardian!" ... Marquis Huguo... Really, really it was a misunderstanding, I drank too much, somehow... just, just ran here, He Zun... madam, it's really not... nothing!"
He was a useless person in the first place, so he was so scared that he couldn't even speak!
It's terribly quiet inside and outside the house!
Ning Zu'an's eyes were reddened, almost without a trace of warmth: "You... how dare you do such a thing?"
"No... no, we're okay, really okay!" Marquis Ping'an thought that Ning Zu'an didn't believe him, so he shook his hands anxiously, his fat body trembling.
He was the only one present who misunderstood what Ning Zuan said!
Ning Xueyan lowered her eyes slightly, and stood silently in the shadow behind Mrs. Tai. No one could see the icy coldness in her jade-like eyes. That jade pendant looked really important, important When it came to Ning Zu'an and Mrs. Tai, they all focused on this without asking other questions.
However, for Ning Xueyan, the more important this jade pendant is, the better.
The fact that Ling and Marquis Ping'an had an "infidelity" actually cannot withstand scrutiny. It is impossible for Ling to fall in love with the old and ugly Marquis of Ping'an. In contrast, although he is middle-aged, he is still tall and straight Ning Zu'an is not comparable to the obese and useless Marquis of Ping'an, anyone with long eyes will not give up Ning Zu'an's fancy to Marquis of Ping'an.
What's more, the meaning in Marquis Ping'an's words also shows that he is the husband-in-law chosen by the Ling family for Ning Xueyan. In addition to Ning Yuling's words before, it shows that the Ling family deliberately pushed Ning Xueyan into the fire pit. The Marquis of Pingan's Mansion is a fire pit, and the Ling family will not fall into it no matter what.
So there must be another mystery to this matter.
Although I don't know why Marquis Ping An appeared in the Buddhist hall, why Ling Shi hugged and slept with him, but it must be someone else's hands and feet, and Ling believed it was her, but Mrs. Tai and Ning Zu'an obviously have other things. idea.
But no matter what, it is a fact that Ling gave the jade pendant to Marquis Ping'an in private. Maybe the two of them made an appointment to meet in the Buddhist hall today just to discuss this matter, but unexpectedly fell into the wrong way. Thinking about it this way, One would think that other people also knew about this jade pendant.
Thinking of this, how could Ning Zuan not be angry.
Ling's face was astonishingly pale, she looked up at her husband who had always been kind to her, and looked at herself fiercely, immediately crawled over, knelt down to Ning Zuan's knees, pulled his robe, raised her tearful eyes, Weeping miserably: "Master Hou, you and I are young couples, you are the main one in everything, and the other gifts of jade pendants are also inadvertent. I would have never thought that... such a thing would happen. This must be someone who deliberately harmed me. , Wronged me, Lord Hou, you... You have to make the decision for me!"
As she spoke here, she wiped away her tears, and crystal clear teardrops slid down her pretty face.
Ning Zu'an's face froze slightly, the wife trembled angrily, she couldn't help pointing at Ling Shi and scolded: "How dare you argue, this is the end of the matter, how dare you say that someone framed you, don't do anything If you die, you will not die, and who in this mansion has the ability to harm you!"
Ling's face was full of grievances, she looked up at Mrs. Tai and cried: "Mother, please do me a favor, for the sake of Lord Hou, don't say such cruel words, no matter what, I am the wife of Lord Hou. The Hou Mansion is not good, so how can I get better? Is it true that I am so ignorant and use the whole Hou Mansion as a lord, and if something happens to the Hou Ye, I have to follow the same!"
Saying "呯呯呯", he kowtowed to Mrs. Tai, and his forehead turned blue.
Ning Zuan's face involuntarily relaxed a little.
Ning Xueyan rolled her eyelids and couldn't help sneering secretly. Could it be that the Ming family is not her opponent? Even if Mrs. Tai doesn't like her, she has no choice but to let her be Mrs. Hou. After so many years, even Mrs. Tai has been squeezed out Assuming the position of housekeeper, he must be courageous and resourceful.
An obvious matter can also make her black and white, but on the other hand, she can even be said to be flattered by others.
"Grandmother, I also believe that my mother didn't do it on purpose. Someone must have framed her. Think about it, although my fourth sister and I were not born to my mother, she treated us equally." Ning Xueyan gently pulled Mrs. Latai sleeve, and spoke softly for Ling.
Although she said this lightly, Mrs. Tai and Ning Zu'an listened to it seriously, and their expressions changed involuntarily.
How could it be possible for Ling to be sincere to Ning Xueyan, let's not attack her secretly, even after Ning Xueyan left Mingshuangyuan, she still didn't give up, first poisoned the medicine, and then found such a person for her For fear that the mansion would not approve of this marriage, they even gave such an important jade pendant as an engagement gift.
Some things are not disclosed, but it does not mean that everyone does not know.
What made Mrs. Tai even more angry was that Ling's few words made her son's heart soften. It really wasn't a good thing! Moreover, it was repeatedly stated in the words that someone harmed her, and that in the whole of the Hou's mansion, except for her, she was the only one who could touch anyone, which meant to put the matter on herself.
I knew that I would never let this woman enter the Ning family back then, and I would not cause so many things in the future. At this time, I was angry and annoyed, my face turned purple, and I almost lost my anger.
Qin Nanny watched from the side, and helped Mrs. Tai rub her chest, Ning Xueyan hurriedly poured a glass of water, handed it to Qin Nanny, Qin took it, let Tai Madam drink it, and took it easy.
"Mother Qin, I'll take care of grandma." Ning Xueyan took the teacup handed over by Mother Qin and said softly.
Nanny Qin nodded. She is an old nanny in the mansion, and also Madam Tai's former dowry maid. She had shared hardships back then, and her relationship with Madam Tai was naturally different from others. Seeing Mrs. Ling made Madam Tai mad at her, Of course, he was also filled with righteous indignation, he stepped forward and said to Ning Zu'an: "Master Hou, can I ask the old slave to ask the eldest lady a few words?"
Ning Zuan nodded.
"Ma'am, this old servant is an illiterate servant, but he also knows that there must be evidence for what he says. The lady said that someone is going to kill you. Before, he said that the person who was the fifth girl, and then found out that it was the second girl's hand, and then bit the other girl to death." There are people, but they can’t say anything about it, if the Marquis of Ping’an hadn’t been brought here, how could he have found such a remote Buddhist hall?”
As soon as these words came out, not only Ling's but also Ning Zu'an's expression changed.
Nanny Qin has been with Mrs. Tai in the inner court for a long time, and she also understands this kind of inner court struggle, especially before Ling insisted on Ning Xueyan, but then she let it go because it was Ning Yuling's person, and only said that it was someone else who killed her. She, and the matter of the jade pendant, and the silent appearance of Ping An Hou in the Buddhist hall.
However, Marquis Ping'an only said that he was a maid, but he couldn't tell who it was!
Who in the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion is most likely to bring people here calmly, it cannot be Mrs. Tai, so there is really no one except Ling!
Ning Zu'an looked at Ling Shi with a gloomy and disappointed look. Ling Shi was anxious and wanted to explain, but Mother Qin rushed ahead of her and said: "The doctor kept saying that someone framed him. If you say that the backyard of the Marquis Mansion is There are still people who can mobilize people under the eyes of the eldest lady. Who is there except Mrs. Tai? Mrs. Tai loves the eldest son the most, so even if you do something that insults the family, Mrs. Tai endured it, but you said Madam Tai corrupted you, if you say that, can you do justice to Madam Tai and Lord Hou?"
Nanny Qin was also a good speaker, so she deliberately brought Ning Zu'an with her, and immediately blocked Ling Shi so that she couldn't speak a word.
What she said was very reasonable. Ling was very anxious, and her face suddenly became mournful: "Mother, Marquis Ping'an and I are really innocent. Mother can go to investigate, but I really don't know anything. If it is found out that I and Marquis Marquis Ping'an really has an affair, I would rather die in the Buddhist hall to prove my innocence."
After speaking, Ling cried loudly, got up from the ground, and was about to bump into a nearby pillar.
Ning Zuan pulled her subconsciously, and she leaned into Ning Zuan's arms, sobbing and crying.
Mrs. Tai picked up the teacup in Ning Xueyan's hand in hatred, and smashed it heavily on the ground. The crisp cracking sound surprised everyone, and Marquis Ping'an kept shrinking his head, hiding aside, not even saying a word. Dare to say.
Ning Xueyan stepped forward and gently rubbed the back of Mrs. Tai, comforting her: "Grandmother calm down, you have to take care of yourself." Then she turned to Ning Zu'an, persuading, "Father, things are up to now, anyway. If you can’t explain clearly, you will take a step back, it’s always a family matter, and it’s easy to say it or not to hear it.”
These words sounded like persuasion, but in Mrs. Tai's ears, it added fuel to the flames. Ling made such a shameless thing, and even made her elder regress! What's more, there are other reasons.
With a cold snort, he said angrily: "Fifth girl, don't persuade me anymore, this matter must be investigated, otherwise there will be endless disasters!"
Seeing Mrs. Tai being so resolute and her cold gaze on Ling Shi, Ning Zuan's expression darkened, and he pushed Ling Shi away.
"Father, up to now, let's just listen to what grandma has to say, and don't let people think that the news about my mother's death is always... unfilial!" Ning Xueyan said.
Ning Zuan was shocked by what he said. He is not filial, but it is a big taboo for officials. Even though the emperor is unwilling to pass the throne to King Yi, he has to admit his position as the emperor's younger brother. Isn't it because of a "filial piety" "The word is as big as the sky, thinking of this, his face is gloomy and cold.
Shengsheng frightened Ling Shi, who was leaning over, too scared to move forward.
"Besides, there are outsiders here..." Ning Xueyan didn't finish her sentence, but Mrs. Tai and Ning Zuan's eyes fell on Marquis Ping'an as she wished. Here, who else is there besides Marquis Ping'an? is an outsider.
"Mrs. Qin, from today onwards, Da Furen will cultivate herself in the Buddhist hall. She is not allowed to come out without Da Furen's permission. As for the Marquis of Ping An," Ning Zu Anji made a decision in no time, and no longer showed any sympathy for Ling Shi. , glanced majestically at Marquis Pingan who was still unclear about the current situation, "Marquis Pingan, this is not a place to talk, let's go outside to talk."
Regardless of whether Ling Shi really had an affair with Marquis Ping'an, it was always a fact that the two of them were lying together. They were a man, and they would feel a thorn in their hearts. Only when they saw Ling Shi crying pitifully, did they soften their hearts a little. When Ning Xueyan said this, she immediately woke up.
Watching Pingan Hou Seser leave behind Ning Zuan, Ning Xueyan raised the corners of her lips and sneered faintly. This kind of incident is much more serious than Ling's before, and even offended Mrs. Tai and Ning Zuan. At least until the end of the year, the Ling family will no longer be in charge of the family, which is exactly what I need.
Didn't she want to be in-laws with Marquis Ping'an? I can't do it now...
