"Fifth Sister, I'm really sorry just now. I really thought... I really thought that I was afraid that Fifth Sister wouldn't know and make a big deal out of it." Ning Lingyun showed her kindness with just the right amount of panic.
Ning Xueyan's eyes fell on her quietly, seeing the panic expression on her face, she could hardly hold back, so she said lightly: "Fourth sister, don't you think I'm so easy to deceive?"
Ning Lingyun was startled when he said this, subconsciously raised his head, and was facing Ning Xueyan's Moyu eyes, and immediately felt that Ning Xueyan's seemingly moist and beautiful eyes were full of bloodlust. Chill, a cold air involuntarily rose in my heart, and I opened my eyes, not daring to look at Ning Xueyan again.
Stammeringly said: "Fifth sister, I was wrong, I will never dare again!"
This meeting did not treat her as a fool, no longer concealing, and bluntly said what happened just now, this is to show weakness, I really underestimated Ning Lingyun before, but she is very flexible.
It's just that she took herself too seriously, thinking that as long as she apologized, she couldn't hold her accountable.
She framed herself again and again, and even dared to stand in front of her.
"Fourth sister, there will be no next time!" Ning Xueyan said coldly, looking at her, smiling strangely and coldly, at that moment, Ning Lingyun felt that her thoughts were almost transparent in front of her, a kind of Fear from the inside out! She was shivering colder than the weather outside.
She had an intuition that this was not Ning Xueyan threatening her. If she was not good to Ning Xueyan again, she might end up like Ning Yuling in the next moment. Thinking of this, the panic on her face turned into panic, her feet A soft, almost fell.
Looking at Ning Xueyan's back, she bit her lip unwillingly, she had made a decision in her heart, she had no choice but to never dare to bump into Ning Xueyan again in the future.
When Ning Xueyan returned to Mingshuang Courtyard, Nanny Han was coming back from outside. Although the weather outside was very cold, she was still sweating profusely when she left.
"Han Nanny, don't worry, Qingyu, pour a glass of water for Han Nanny." Ning Xueyan said as she walked in.
"Yes, the old slave thought that the girl would eat the dumplings made by the old slave when she came back, so she walked faster." Nanny Han looked at the people on the left and right, nodded, followed her words, and followed Ning Xueyan with a smile. behind, into the house.
Qingyu in the room heard the voices outside, brought a glass of water over, handed it to Nanny Han, and asked with concern: "Mommy Han, what's not going well?"
Han Momo ran out these days when she had nothing to do, saying that she was choosing the right medicinal materials for Ning Xueyan, but in fact she was in contact with the shopkeeper Lu of Tonghetang Pharmacy. Tonghetang used to be the dowry of the Ming family, but later all fell into Ling's hands, but in the past, when Ming had no money to take medicine, shopkeeper Lu would help out some in private.
When the Ming family married Ning Zu'an, the dowry was very rich, but in the end these dowry shops and other money all fell into the hands of the Ling family. Tonghetang is one of the shops, and until now only Tonghetang He has some kindness towards the Ming family, but he has either been replaced by Ling's shopkeeper, or has surrendered to Ming's side, or if there is anything, he dare not express it.
The dowry list was also cheated by Ling. Originally, even if Ning Xueyan knew about it, there was no evidence. Fortunately, there was still a copy left by her uncle, and now it was sent to Ning Xueyan. It is known that most of the shops in Huguohou's Mansion were left by the Ming family.
It can be said that the reason why Ning Zu'an is so beautiful is that the Ming family's financial resources played an important role behind it, but later, the Ming family died alone in Mingshuangyuan, and all the power and financial resources were given to Ling and Ning Zu'an Got it.
What Ning Xueyan wants to do now is for those shops.
If it is said that Mrs. Ling went to the Buddhist hall before, it was just a show for Mrs. Tai, then after the incident of Marquis Pingan and Ning Yuling happened, Ling could not simply leave the Buddhist hall, and then Aunt Xu had another accident, and the inner courtyard of the Huguohou's mansion The matter will inevitably be in Mrs. Tai's hands again.
At Mrs. Yitai's age, she is beyond her power to regain control of the backyard, and she will definitely choose someone to help her. As a daughter-in-law, Ning Xueyan is obviously more suitable than Ning Lingyun, not to mention Ning Lingyun. She is married to Ning Yuling, and her identity is just a concubine whom Mrs. Tai doesn't like.
What Ning Xueyan did was to stand out in front of Mrs. Tai, to change her past cowardly image, and Ning Lingyun gave her an opportunity at the right time, which perfectly made Ning Xueyan establish a smart and strong personality in front of Mrs. Tai. The new image and ledger fell into Ning Xueyan's hands.
Although they are just a few ordinary ledgers, they can't represent anything, but they are the most basic step for Ning Xueyan to obtain the Ming family's dowry in the future. Everything is difficult at the beginning. With this beginning, the rest will be much easier.
"Girl, shopkeeper Lu said that those madams had read and signed the ledgers back then. Afterwards, the eldest lady had them take them away. There is no ledger left by the madam in the store." Nanny Han took a sip of water, After a while, she frowned and said anxiously, the purpose of her going out these few days is to find the ledgers signed by Mrs. Ming back then. The dowry was all given to Mrs. Tai, and it was counted as the private property of the mansion.
The most important account book in a store is often the account with the clearest income and expenditure. At the end of the year, I will show it to my boss. After reading it, I will sign on it to indicate that I have read it. As long as the store is open, this account will always be kept, in case the boss will check the old account at any time.
"Mommy, shopkeeper Lu, did you see clearly that none of the books were left behind?" Qingyu said anxiously, taking Nanny Han's teacup.
"No, the old slave and shopkeeper Lu searched all the places, hoping to find one, but it was really clean. The account books when my wife married to Ningfu were all gone, and shopkeeper Lu returned I have inquired that other shops are the same as his, and they were all closed when the Da Furen was in charge."
Nanny Han said angrily, thinking that his wife and the girl were suffering in Mingshuangyuan, but the Ling family occupied the dowry of his wife and was domineering outside, so he didn't get angry. These shops were clearly left by his wife for his family The girl's, why let Ling's mother and daughter occupy it, and two of them were even sent to Xia's family as the eldest girl's dowry.
"Girl, I'll look for it in other shops tomorrow, but I don't believe it, it's all gone!"
"Mother Han, you don't need to go again tomorrow. The shopkeepers of other shops are not close to us. They might leak the news and startle the snake." Ning Xueyan shook her hand to stop it. Since the Ling family had expected this step, they must It won't be easy for them to find them, and besides, when the current shop is no longer under the control of the Ming family, most of them are people from the Ming family.
At this time, there are many actions, but it makes people suspicious!
"Then let's forget it like this, and the dowry list of my uncle is in vain?" Thinking of her wife who wanted to find some good medicine for the little master, but had no money, Nanny Han's eyes were red with anger, and she almost burst into tears. He fell down, turned his head sideways, and squeezed his sleeves at the corners of his eyes.
"Girl, have those ledgers been destroyed by Mrs. Lan Ning?" Lan Ning asked suspiciously.
These words reminded Ning Xueyan, her heart moved, she had a plan in an instant, and said to Nanny Han.
"Don't worry, mama, you will never let it go like this. When you have nothing to do, go to Yunxia courtyard more often. Ling can't get out of the Buddhist hall now. Ning Yuling has been sent away again. Yunxia courtyard lost its backbone for a while. It will definitely not be as strict as before, let's cover their words, let's see what is different about Yunxia Courtyard from other places!"
"Miss, you mean, Da Furen didn't burn all the ledgers? How could she put the ledgers there so reassuringly?" Nanny Han was also smart, she immediately understood what Ning Xueyan meant, and said excitedly.
"With such a large pile of ledgers, and such a thing, it is impossible for Ling to blatantly burn them, so there is only one possibility. Those ledgers are still there, but they were hidden by Ling." A cold light flashed in Ning Xueyan's eyes It's not that Ling is relieved, it's because Ling dare not rob Ming's property so blatantly.
She has taken away the position of the main wife of the Ming family, if such rumors spread again, Ning Zu'an will not be able to keep her!
"Yes, girl, this old slave will go chat with some old sisters in a while!" When she heard that it was possible to find those important ledgers, Nanny Han immediately smiled, she didn't care about it lightly, and was about to walk out.
"Nurse, don't be in a hurry, wait for a few days, don't pay too much attention!" Ning Xueyan warned with a slight smile, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, this matter can't be rushed, so I can only investigate slowly, since Ling's dare Hiding the account book will inevitably hide it in a secret place, and how can it be found in a few words.
Fortunately, now that Ling's can't come out, those shopkeepers will come to hand over this year's account book at the end of the year...
In the next few days, Ning Xueyan was very busy, and she was so busy that she could hardly touch the ground. Madam Tai was just trying Ning Xueyan's ability, but after all, Ning Xueyan had never been in charge of the house, so the effect was surprisingly good. Mrs. Tai boldly handed over the other part to Ning Xueyan, and she only had to grasp the last hurdle herself.
"I heard that girl was misunderstood to be pregnant with this king's heir?" Ao Chenyi took the information handed over by his subordinates, Yu Jian, the head of the guard, with a charming smile on his face, and leaned back, quite A little leisurely, a rare softness and interest flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, what does your lord mean?"
"Then just watch and see how the little girl will deal with this matter next." Of course, there may be some people who are not savvy, and he can properly make those people "sensible". The claws are also sharp.
The sun outside the window was just right, Ning Xueyan put down the thick account book in her hand, and touched her blunt head. The wife basically didn't care about these accounts, and now they are all sent to Mingshuangyuan. She has been seeing the present since she got up, and it is finally Finish today's affairs.
"Girl, this servant has found out Qing'er's identity." Lan Ning came in through the curtain, offered Ning Xueyan a cup of tea, stood behind Ning Xueyan, and rubbed her shoulders.
Qing'er is the little maid who fainted last time in Mingshuangyuan, a maid with extremely poor health, let alone work, even if she is allowed to stand for a longer time, it is clearly Can't work.
"What's the relationship with Yulian?" Ning Xueyan asked lightly.
"It's Yulian's biological sister. I heard that Yulian's father died early, and her mother remarried and took her youngest daughter, Qing'er, away. But when they arrived at that family, they treated Qing'er very badly. It hurts my body, and when I grow up, I will be weaker than ordinary people, and I will be out of breath after working for a while, and sometimes I will pass out."
The strange thing about Yulian's visit last time, Lan Ning went to check it out. The two people had different surnames, so she thought it had nothing to do with it. Only in the end did she find out that the two were blood sisters.
