There was a faint smile on Ning Xueyan's lips, and the coldness in Mo Yu's eyes slowly turned into a sneer.
Ning Qingshan is really not easy to deal with! He actually thought of using this kind of method to separate himself from himself. After Xia'er's incident happened, his account book would never be sent to Luoyan Court today anyway.
Using a slap and a knee to arouse Xia'er's fighting spirit, making her desperately kowtow to the ground, arousing everyone's sympathy, and pointing the finger at herself, implying that she has a malicious heart and intentionally hurt Ning Qing's girl ring.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Ning Xueyan stepped forward unhurriedly, and also knelt down: "Grandmother, don't be angry, it's all because Yan'er is bad. I just wanted to joke with the third sister, but she was so tired that the third sister also suffered." Punishment, if grandma wants to punish third sister, she should punish Xueer first."
Didn't Ning Qingshan not want to get involved with herself, and wanted to make people feel that there was a gap between the two of them! She is not as good as she wants!
"Fifth girl, did you take back the ledger on purpose just now?" Seeing that Ning Xueyan came out to admit her mistake, Mrs. Tai's face looked a little better, and she also thought clearly just now that it was indeed Xia'er who rushed over to get Ning Xue Yan's account book, after Ning Xueyan pulled the account book, the incident happened.
"Yes, it was Yan'er's fault. Grandmother, please don't punish Xia'er. Even if Xia'er is wrong, today is a good day for Aunt Xu. Please forgive me." Ning Xueyan raised her face and smiled.
Her posture was extremely low, and she single-mindedly interceded for Xia'er, pushing all the matter on herself, without the slightest evasion, and said openly that she deliberately had trouble with Ning Qing, that is, between sisters. It's just a joke, it's not a big mistake.
Besides, in front of Mrs. Tai, expressing this clearly means that there is no grudge between the sisters.
Compared to Xia'er who kowtowed hard, smashed her head, and said Ning Xueyan's words faintly, she was honest and natural, and Ning Qingshan and Xia'er reacted dramatically, which would only make people feel a little more artificial.
To make such a small incident into such a mess, and today is a festive day, all the old ladies present are looking at the overall situation, not to mention other things, compared to the overall situation, this The third girl who is famous far and wide is actually not as good as the fifth girl who doesn't show her beauty.
This kind of thing, whether it is big or small, if Ning Qing just slapped Xia'er, explain it carefully, Ning Xueyan will explain next to her, Mrs. Tai will not beat her because of a small misunderstanding Xia'er, but look at it now, when there is a happy event, it is really unlucky to see blood!
Thinking about it again, this girl called herself "I" in one mouthful, and she was not a servant in the first place, and she had no rules at all. Didn't it mean that the third girl is very disciplined!
It's okay to be kind to your subordinates, but being kind and "you" "you" "I" "I" to your subordinates is very disregarding the rules in the eyes of these old ladies.
Ning Qingfan didn't expect that the development of the matter was completely out of her own surprise. Xia'er's incident happened suddenly, and her reaction was to push the boat according to the current situation, thinking that if Xia'er, who was under her control, made such a fuss, the matter of the account book would not be able to continue. , but the current situation, not only did not harm Ning Xueyan, but it seemed that she didn't know the general rules and the rules.
"Get up!" There was a flash of anger in Mrs. Tai's eyes, but her face became gentle, she turned her head and said to Nanny Qin: "Take her down, have a good life, and she will see blood, and others will think that our Marquis Mansion abused her." Besides, it's not auspicious for servants."
An old lady like Mrs. Tai believes in this kind of thing the most, but she is also a mature person. Although she was angry with Ning Qing in her heart, she didn't show it on her face. People take it down.
Today is always a happy event, it is better not to make such a big deal, lest others gossip about the Hou Mansion.
"Yes!" Nanny Qin went over, helped Xia'er up, and led her out.
At this time, Ning Qingshan was lifted up by a woman, she lowered her head and patted the dust on her body. Seeing that Ning Qingshan didn't give instructions, Xia'er didn't dare to be troublesome, and obediently followed Mother Qin down.
"Third Sister, I'm sorry, it's because of me that you hurt a maid. I am here to apologize to Third Sister." The ledger in Ning Xueyan's hand was placed in the hand of a maid next to Mrs. Tai, and she picked it up. skirt, bowed to Ning Qing respectfully, and said apologetically.
"Forget it, it's not a big deal, it's always my lack of strict discipline that caused such things." Ning Qing smiled and said with a soft and gentle expression, as if she really didn't blame Ning Xueyan.
"Third Sister forgives me, that's really great." Ning Xueyan breathed a sigh of relief, the smile on her face became a bit more lively, and said coquettishly, "Otherwise, Third Sister will be miserable if she doesn't help me read the account book!"
"Is your account book really so difficult?" Mrs. Tai naturally took the account book from the maid beside her.
Because of the incident just now, she had a little bit of criticism towards Ning Qingshan, and her expression was a little displeased. It was worse than before, and she didn't care about the interaction between Ning Xueyan and Ning Qingshan.
Ning Qingshan was sensitively aware of Mrs. Tai's displeasure, but now she focused on the account book in Mrs. Tai's hands, and she was secretly happy. She never thought that Mrs. Tai would go to see the account book with her own hands.
As long as the ledger is brought close, one will definitely find something abnormal, such a strong fishy smell, no matter who's nose can smell it clearly.
"Grandmother, I'll take a look too." Ning Qing fanned her head curiously, and turned her head. Why didn't there be a smell of blood, but a scent instead, which smelled very pleasant, and her complexion changed drastically.
There are five ledgers in total, Mrs. Tai casually picked up the top one, flipped through it casually, and indeed saw that there were a few places that were not done well, so she put it back into the maid's hand calmly: "Send it to Luoyan garden!"
The maid responded and was about to go out!
Ning Qing was so anxious that she had no choice but to take two steps forward: "Those who don't bother grandma, I'll let the people from Luoyan Garden take them away."
She stretched out her hand as if she wanted to take it from the little maid.
As the master, she stretched out her hand in person. The servant girl was stunned for a moment, and looked at Mrs. Tai in a daze.
Which girl is not extremely noble, and the maids in other courtyards deliver and pick up things, all are done by servants.
Ning Qingshan didn't seem to notice it, she got the bottom ledger with her fingers and pulled it hard.
"Third sister, don't worry, how can I trouble you to do it yourself..." Ning Xueyan's words sounded at the right time, but she didn't wait for her to finish speaking, only heard a few "plops", and the account book in the maid's hand was yanked , all fell to the ground.
At this time, Ning Qingfan had already recognized that there was something wrong with the account book, and Ning Xueyan still knew, otherwise she would not have made so many gestures, and even sprinkled incense powder on the account book, just to prevent herself from finding out. , What did she say to play with her sisters, she didn't think she had such a good friendship with Ning Xueyan.
It was so before, and it is so now!
That's why she went up in person, who would care about her little recklessness in a while when the account book matter broke out!
She didn't hear Ning Xueyan's words at all. When she heard the book falling to the ground, she took a few steps back, looking frightened. In order to attract more people's attention, she purposely let out a low cry, as if she had discovered She had a lot of reasons for what happened, and Ning Xueyan couldn't get rid of the smudges on the ledger no matter how hard she tried.
Several ledgers fell to the ground as Ning Qing slapped her in a low voice, "Ah!"
The few old ladies who were not paying attention were shocked. An old lady who was usually in poor health fell on the woman beside her as soon as her body softened. There was a scream!
"What's going on?" The anger on Mrs. Tai's face could no longer be concealed. Although she was asking the little girl, what she was looking at was Ning Qingshan, Ning Qingshan's actions just now, and what Ning Xueyan said , it can be seen that this matter was caused by Ning Qingfan's anxiety and panic. Ning Qingfan, who is usually steady, has lost her composure repeatedly today!
Seeing Mrs. Tai getting angry, the little girl knelt down in fright, and hurriedly said: "Mrs. Tai, the third lady is in a hurry, and the servants are too late."
Although she didn't dare to put the blame on Ning Qingshan, she had an idea and used what Ning Xueyan said before. Ning Qingshan always lost her manners, not only came to get things by herself, but also took them so badly. Urgent, knocked over all the books.
"Three girls!" Madam Tai looked at Ning Qingshan with a gloomy expression, and the old ladies beside her looked at Ning Qingshan with displeasure.
No wonder there was the maid who didn't know the rules just now. It turns out that the master is not so ignorant of the rules. He also said that the three girls of the Hou Mansion know the rules the most and have the charm of a royal concubine. This reckless temperament is really suitable. Do you want to be a princess
"Grandmother, I'm sorry, I was anxious to look at Fifth Younger Sister's account book, so I accidentally knocked over the account book, I'll pick it up right now."
Seeing the ledgers on the ground, none of them showed the smudge, Ning Qingfan was stunned for a moment, and then she understood. She never thought that Ning Xueyan was so lucky that no one would notice when she fell to the ground like this. Taking a peek at Ning Xueyan who was standing on the side, her face was extremely pale, her eyes were fixed on the ledger on the ground, that kind of nervousness immediately diluted the nervousness in Ning Qingfan's heart.
Ning Xueyan's expression showed that there was indeed a problem with the account book, and she didn't need to be so nervous, so she said something to Mrs. Tai with a smile, and knelt down to pick up the account book on the ground.
"Third girl!" Seeing that she was going to do it herself in an unruly manner, Mrs. Tai slammed the cane on the ground with force, and warned in a cold voice.
I haven't seen her for three years, and the clever third girl has become so stupid. On such an occasion, she has to do it herself, which is really rude.
"Third sister, let the maids pick it up, don't worry, grandma will send it to you after picking it up." Ning Xueyan smiled and persuaded.
Now Ning Qing couldn't bend her waist anymore, Mrs. Tai was obviously on fire! She has always been cautious, and today she has lost her composure. If she really suffers from Mrs. Lai Tai's anger because of this, it will not count.
"Yes, grandma, the fan is unreasonable!" She straightened up, but did not step back, and bowed to Mrs. Tai Yingying. If this had been done before, Mrs. Tai would be full of joy, but now something like this happened , Thinking back to Mrs. Tai who kept praising her in front of all the old ladies before, Mrs. Tai felt that she was going to lose face.
So, he glanced at her with a bad face, and if he looked at her meaningfully, he didn't answer her words, and said to the kneeling little maid, "Pick up the ledger and send it to Luoyan Courtyard." .”
