"Girl, this... why is this account book here?" Nanny Luo pointed at the account book that smelled of fish, she was so shocked that she could hardly speak.
The account book was given to Ning Xueyan by Mrs. Tai's maid. Halfway along the way, the maid was bumped and her foot was crooked. The maid who bumped into her helped her deliver the account book. Unknowingly, it fell into the hands of Nanny Luo. It was she who asked Xia'er to go to the kitchen to get the braised fish. She poured the fish soup onto one of the ledgers, carefully dipping into the cover little by little.
And when stacking the five ledgers, because of caution, nothing can be seen from the outside. Unless one book is taken down, it is impossible to see the smudges inside, and the little girl who delivered the ledger is also from Yunxia Courtyard. Yes, even if Ning Xueyan finds someone, no one would think that this matter has something to do with Luoyan Court.
But those ledgers had already been sent to Mingshuang Hospital, and Nanny Luo went out because she was fine.
"Girl, what's going on, why did this account book come back?" Nanny Luo asked anxiously.
Looking at everything in front of her, if she didn't know that she had fallen for Ning Xueyan's tricks, Ning Qingshan would be really stupid! Sen Leng stared at the ledger in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "Nurse, I underestimated her, Ning Xueyan is so cunning!"
I was too careless, thinking that even though Ning Xueyan was better than before, she was no match for me, but I didn't expect that she would plot against her. Ning Qingfan was full of remorse and hatred, with hatred in her eyes.
"The girl, what should we do now?" Nanny Luo took the account book in Ning Qingshan's hand, and looked at it carefully. It is impossible to take it out like this without being noticed.
"Go, go to the kitchen and ask, is there any soup with braised fish?" Ning Qingfan tried her best to suppress the waves of anger in her heart, and said calmly.
"Miss, there is no braised fish in the kitchen today. Just now when the old slave came over, she ran into Mrs. Li, and she told the old slave that the fifth girl had someone to take care of the kitchen today, and she didn't serve any braised fish." Nanny Luo suddenly remembered that she had encountered the kitchen just now. When Mrs. Li said something, sweat immediately appeared on her head.
At that time, I didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, the dirty ledger had already been sent to Mingshuang Courtyard. As for the change of the original menu in the kitchen, braised fish was no longer cooked, which had nothing to do with the overall situation. The fifth girl got dirty there.
Nanny Luo inquired about yesterday's menu in the kitchen, so she specially asked the kitchen to order a stewed fish and put the stewed fish soup on the cover. Anyway, it is also braised fish today. Who will know what the fish soup is? Yesterday's or today's.
The fifth girl was in charge of the kitchen. Even if she didn't go to see it, how could the maids around her not look at it? Lose.
But the problem now is how Ning Qingshan will explain the ledger to Luoyanyuan.
Originally, this kind of thing could be blamed on any servant. Today, Ning Qingshan went outside to entertain guests for the Marquis Mansion. She had been busy all day, and if a servant had an accident, it would at most be a charge of unfavorable supervision.
But how to explain this stewed fish soup...
At that time, only Xia'er, Nanny Luo and Ning Qing fan knew about the dirty fish soup on the ledger. This kind of thing is shameful, of course, the less people know the better, these two are Ning Qing Shan's confidant, accompanied Ning Qingshan in the nunnery for three years, it can be said that she obeyed everything and used it very smoothly.
But in the current situation, one of them must be killed, and what will she do!
But what can I do if I don't want to, someone has to take the blame.
Is it Nanny Luo or Xia'er? Ning Qing glanced at Nanny Luo with a gloomy face, her eyes were gloomy, and she made a decision in an instant: "Grandma, you go and tell Xia'er to let her admit it." For this matter, I saw yesterday’s fish soup accidentally spilled on the cover of the account book by gluttony. I always feel sorry for her. Save that kind of place and let their sisters reunite."
The matter was urgent, since one had to be folded, Ning Qing chose the reckless Xia'er, besides, Nanny Luo just came back, but Xia'er had been back for a long time, because her head was broken, she had already come back to rest in the side room.
The sooner this kind of thing is discovered, the less it has to do with me!
After all, she wasn't in Luoyanyuan before, and now Ning Qingshan only wanted to free herself from this matter, so she told Nanny Luo to take Xia'er to Xiangfu Garden immediately, and after she took the account book, she hurriedly I went to Xiangfu Garden.
In the Xiangfu Garden, there was a lot of laughter and excitement. Little Aunt Xu was saluting Mrs. Tai. Ning Zuan and Ning Xueyan were both there. Mrs. Tai seemed to be in a good mood. Aunt Xu kept making fun of Mrs. Tai, and said Mrs. Tai was smiling and happy.
Suddenly she heard Ning Qing slap her over, Mrs. Tai looked at Nanny Qin, nodded and signaled the servant girl to invite her in.
As soon as she entered the room and saw so many people, although Ning Qingshan knew that the time was wrong, she didn't dare to take it wrong. The longer the time dragged on, the worse it would be for her. , Mrs. Tai and Ning Zu'an will be furious, she doesn't have much pressure on her heart.
Anyway, Xia'er stood in the front, even if Mrs. Tai couldn't get over her anger and killed Xia'er with a cane, it didn't have much to do with her.
"Grandmother, Shan'er made a mistake, please punish her." Ning Qingshan knelt down in front of Mrs. Tai with sadness, and little Aunt Xu who was on the side jumped in fright, leaning towards Ning Zu'an, not daring to say another word .
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Tai's face darkened.
The laughter in the room stopped immediately, the silence was almost eerie, everyone was looking at Ning Qingfan, not knowing what happened.
"Grandmother, Shan'er just returned to the yard, and found that the servants were greedy for food, and even spilled yesterday's fish soup on the ledger, dirtying the ledger, please punish me." Ning Qingfan said with red eyes, from behind The little maid took the account book in her hand, took the top one, and immediately saw the stained cover, a strong fishy smell came over her nostrils.
"How did you make it like this?" Seeing that the account book was made like this, Mrs. Tai was furious pointing at the account book.
"Grandmother, it's all because the fan is not good. I didn't restrain the servants properly, so I made the servants dirty the account book. Please punish me," Ning Qing burst into tears, but she didn't push the responsibility away. Others, every bite is their own bad, please punish Mrs. Tai, so that people feel that she really wants to take this responsibility.
Ning Xueyan secretly praised it on the side, it is a good move to subdue people, coupled with the tragic scene, it is impossible for people not to sympathize.
"Mother, Shan'er herself greeted the guests in front, what happened in this yard has nothing to do with her." Sure enough, Ning Zu'an stood up and spoke for her.
What she said is very reasonable. Ning Qingfan has been busy all day today. She just came back from Mother Qin. She must have just arrived at Luoyan Courtyard. When she found out that something like this happened, she hurried over to report it to herself, and It can be regarded as a good one if he didn't blame the servants for everything.
Mrs. Tai's complexion is a little bit better, she always has to give Ning Zu'an a face, not to mention the relationship between Ning Qingshan and the third prince is not ordinary.
"Forget it, help the third girl to get up, tell me, who did it?"
Ning Qingshan was lifted up, and she said with a troubled face: "Yes... yes... it's from the fan's yard..." She said these words more and more quietly, and finally she could hardly hear her, she looked pitifully at Mrs. Tai and begged, "Grandma, can you just spare her? She didn't do it on purpose, she just accidentally knocked over the bowl."
"Up to now, you are still protecting the servants. No wonder the servants in the yard have no rules. Three girls, this is the Marquis's mansion, not the nunnery. You are fine in the nunnery. You can't do it here, not only here , the prince's mansion is even worse." Mrs. Tai took her crutches and slammed a pillar on the ground, and said angrily, quite a bit of hating that iron can't be made into steel.
If it wasn't for the indescribably close relationship between Ning Qingshan and the third prince, Mrs. Tai would be really angry now!
However, Ning Xueyan could see clearly. When they were talking, Nanny Luo knelt outside the door with Xia'er, who was holding a scarf on her head. He could hear that Ning Qing was being scolded by Mrs. Tai for defending her. There was even a touch of emotion on her face. Ning Qingshan really knew how to behave. If something happened, people would take the blame, but she still had to make people willing and grateful.
"Yes...it's Xia'er." After being scolded by Mrs. Tai, Ning Qingshan didn't dare to hide any more, so she had to speak out.
"Come here, go and catch that maid." When she heard that it was that unruly maid again, Mrs. Tai was furious, and she would lose face today, but it was because this maid was unruly, you, me, and me I said a lot.
"Madam Tai, servant girl, servant girl is kneeling here, please punish Madam Tai!" Xia'er's excited voice came from outside the door, and everyone passed through the curtain to find the maid who was kneeling outside the curtain.
"Grandmother, please forgive Xia'er. She has been living with me in the nunnery for the past three years, and she has lived a poor life, so she is greedy." Ning Qingfan pleaded.
"It doesn't mean that the nunnery is a place of pure heart and asceticism. Why have you lived there for several years and even stole the overnight fish soup?" Qingyu muttered to Lan Ning inexplicably behind Ning Xueyan. Although it was light, Mrs. Tai who was sitting next to Ning Xueyan listened to it seriously.
Come up in a rage.
If this kind of word spreads, what will others think of the Hou's Mansion? If a maid can't endure the hardships of the nunnery, how can the spoiled girl survive? It is still said that the Huguohou's Mansion secretly sends food to Ning Qingfan, so If you go to the nunnery to be filial, you will be suspected of being famous for fishing for jade, and what's more, it will make people think whether the move of the Huguohou Mansion is deliberately deceiving everyone.
Ning Qingshan's reputation is so good that even the palace knows that the next thing is that the Marquis Huguo's Mansion will be censored, and the crime of deceiving the emperor will be as big as the sky.
"Come on, pull that lowly girl down and beat her with fifty sticks!" The crutches in Mrs. Tai's hands were heavily on the ground, and Mrs. Tai said viciously.
It is a big stick instead of a smaller one, and it is still fifty sticks! Mrs. Tai is really angry and wants Xia'er's life!
Inside the curtain, Ning Qingshan's face turned blue first, then pale, but finally dared not say a word...
Outside the curtain, although Xia'er has always been daring, she couldn't kneel immediately, her body softened, she shivered into a ball, her pleading eyes looked in the direction of Ning Qingfan through the curtain.
