Xia'er was dragged outside the gate of the courtyard to gag her mouth. Because she used a big stick, Ning Zu'an asked the servants to come over and hold the cast. The servants knelt in the courtyard tremblingly, with their heads lowered, not even daring to take a breath. All I could hear was the big stick being hit on the person outside, the heavy crackling sound, and the sound of being gagged.
There seemed to be a faint smell of blood slowly filling the air. Nanny Luo followed the crowd and knelt outside with cold hands and feet. Her face was pale and her heart trembled. No matter what, she never thought that Mrs. Tai would directly order someone to kill Xia'er , Dirty books, such a crime is not enough to die!
In the room, the air was also very dull. Little Aunt Xu covered her mouth in fright and shivered behind Ning Zu'an. She had already forgotten that today was her big day. No matter how much he objected, he finally became an aunt, and this time, the eldest lady obviously lost to him.
If he had another heir in the future, he might still be able to compete with the eldest lady.
But now, she has completely lost this idea. Looking at Mrs. Tai's gloomy face, and Ning Zu'an's sharp eyes that seemed to be real, she felt that her fate was still in their hands, and she wanted to Live as you are born, die as you want to die, those greedy desires born due to the change of status are instantly melted away.
The suppressed humming sound coming from outside, intermittent, represents the passing of life!
Ning Qingshan's face was as pale as snow, her fingers pinched the kerchief in her hand convulsively, she no longer swung it freely like before, the one outside was her personal servant girl, and it was still fifty sticks, how could Xia'er endure it with her body? In the past, it didn't take long to return to the mansion, and the maid was beaten to death, which made her, the master, have no face.
This also made her feel the authority of Mrs. Tai, and she was ashamed and frightened.
But at the same time, it also made her firmer in her mind. There is one thing, she must be high above others, and take life and death from others.
At that time, Mrs. Tai, Ling Shi, Ning Zuan, and Ning Xueyan would all be trampled under her feet, but now is not the time, she will definitely be more careful in the future, she will not be as reckless as today, after all, it is her I was a little anxious, after three years of forbearance, I thought everything was under my control, but who would have thought that Ning Xueyan would suddenly pop out.
Ning Xueyan was holding the tea, and she also remained silent beside her. She gracefully took a sip of the tea, letting the bitterness slowly soak into her heart. A little scared!
She will not pity Xia'er, and the strong will eat the weak. If Ning Qingfan's plan is successful today, then she must be the one who has the accident, and the people around her may end up tragically.
In the last life, she failed to protect the person she wanted to protect, and in the end even lost her own life.
In this life, she will never make the same mistake again, so she won't be afraid and retreat!
Lan Ning stood behind her, quietly looking at Ning Xueyan's slender figure. Such a thin body gave her an extremely strong feeling. Among this group of nervous people, Ning Xueyan herself represented She felt a kind of calm, a kind of weird calm, she didn't seem to be disturbed in the slightest, her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her fair and tender face, she was neither frightened nor frightened.
Lan Ning had never seen the scene outside, but looking at the delicate and thin figure in front of her, she actually felt at ease.
Yes, peace of mind! His face was unprecedentedly calm.
What happened today is actually very dangerous. If the smudges on the books were discovered from Mingshuangyuan, the girl can't escape, and how can I and Qingyu's two close maids please? Maybe the current Xia'er is The fate of myself and Qingyu is either you die or I live!
Mingshuangyuan and Luoyanyuan have been hostile ever since Ning Qing fan plotted against the girl! She doesn't need to show any sympathy for Xia'er who is being tortured outside the city!
Sensing Lan Ning's breathing calming down behind her, a faint smile flashed in Ning Xue's eyes.
Lan Ning has always been a cautious person, but it is useless to be cautious. She must also be loyal to herself, absolutely loyal, and obey her orders unconditionally. Another thing is to be cruel. She has always appreciated Lan Ning's, but I was afraid that she would be contaminated with the unnecessarily goodness of the previous life.
Kindness to an enemy is often a false beginning,
What happened today, I believe Lan Ning's intelligence will understand this truth!
In the end, Xia'er didn't make it past fifty, and at the time of forty, she was out of breath. The mother-in-law came in to report tremblingly, she could be seen frightened and frightened, even her voice changed tone.
"Put the person down!" Mrs. Tai raised her eyes, scanning the faces of all the people present, and said slowly.
"Yes!" The mother-in-law didn't dare to say any more, she stood up and wanted to leave, but her legs became weak because of fright, so she couldn't stand up for a while.
"Lan Ning, go and help her." Ning Xueyan said calmly, although her face was also pale, but this paleness was due to her body, it was not caused by fright, and there was no panic in her expression.
"Yes." Lan Ning walked over in response, and helped the woman up, her face was as calm as ever.
Mrs. Tai nodded secretly. Compared with Ning Qingshan's forced calmness, Ning Xueyan was truly calm. Even the maid beside her looked magnanimous, neither surprised nor surprised, showing a sense of calmness. She has the demeanor of a very good maid, not that of the fluttering maid next to Ning Qingfan.
"Third girl, you have been in the nunnery for three years, and there is only such a maid by your side, which is nothing. It is different now. You have returned to the Hou's Mansion, of course you cannot lack a big maid by your side," Mrs. Tai said, turning her head to Nanny Qin, "I'll transfer the two second-class maids from my place to the Luoyan Courtyard of the third girl in a while. Two more places will be added first. If there are not enough, then tell me."
"Yes, the old servant will make arrangements right away." Nanny Qin said, she lowered her head and walked slowly outside the house, but she gave Ning Qing a slap when she walked out.
"Grandmother, how could Shan want your maid, I don't need to trouble you here, just pick two at random." Ning Qingshan immediately came to her senses, stood up and smiled, her expression was much more natural than before. , with a gentle smile in his tone, with a look of no grudges at all.
It's just a close maid who was beaten to death just now, is there really no grievance at all
Putting Mrs. Tai's maid beside her, the implied meaning is not simple. Ning Qingshan is a person with big ideas and selfishness. How could she want Mrs. Tai's eyes to be on her side.
"Third girl, you just came back from the nunnery. You have to choose two better maids to serve you. I don't worry. After three years in the nunnery, some rules have to be learned again, otherwise it will only become a joke for others." Mrs. Tai's words were quite profound, and her eyes fell on Ning Qingshan, and she was not blindly kind.
This is extremely harsh.
"Yes, thank you grandma!" Ning Qing stepped aside knowingly, and glanced at Ning Xueyan who was standing aside, a glint of coldness flashed in her eyes, she will never forget that all the shame she got today was given by Ning Xueyan of…
"Fifth girl, this account book is broken. You can ask someone to go outside to buy a new blank account book, and then go back and write it out, and then show it to Nanny Qin after it is correct." Mrs. Tai was also tired this time. , frowned, and waved directly at Ning Xueyan.
"Yes, grandma, I'll do it now." Ning Xueyan nodded, and asked Lan Ning to find a piece of cloth to wrap the ledger on the floor. The smell on it was really strong, and no one would be able to bear it unless it was wrapped live.
After saying goodbye to Mrs. Tai, Ning Xueyan led Lan Ning back down.
At the same time, the news that the third girl in Huguohou's Mansion was very ambitious, and she rushed to snatch the housekeeping right the next day after returning to the mansion, spread quietly.
In the backyard of Xia Shangshu Mansion, Ning Huaiyuan and Xia Yuhang were having a drink.
Ning Zuan took concubines, Ning Huaiyuan didn't want to participate, so he found an excuse to come to Xia Shangshu's mansion, took a look at Ning Ziyan, and then stayed in Xia's mansion for lunch. Asking someone to wait, I found a pavilion, lit a stove, and drank by myself, it was very leisurely.
"Yuhang, what's the matter with your new aunt?" Ning Ziyan had already told Ning Huaiyuan about the matter, but she raised her head at this moment, deeply displeased. Ning Ziyan said that if it wasn't for that woman, she wouldn't There will be a miscarriage.
"It's just an aunt." Xia Yuhang drank the wine in his hand, and a faint smile appeared on the corners of his warm lips.
"It's just an aunt, it's really okay, but she caused the child in Ziyan's belly to drop, that is also your son, don't you feel bad?" Seeing Xia Yuhang's indifference, Ning Huaiyuan put his hands heavily on the table Come on, said angrily.
child? There was an unknown smile on the corner of Xia Yuhang's lips, maybe that child really shouldn't have come into this world, so when he heard that Ning Ziyan had a slipped tire, he was not as sad as he imagined.
If it was a son, he was indeed his eldest son, but so what!
Or without this child, the outcome of the matter would not be the same...
He let out a long breath, covered the bitterness in the corners of his eyes, looked up again, and it was still the gentle and elegant Mr. Pianpian: "Huaiyuan, I'm really just an aunt, and she's making such a big fuss. At that time, my relationship with her As for the matter, you also know that I met Chen Hexiang outside, and I was quite pitiful, so I took her in, afraid that she would know, that's why... it's the truth, and I have to give it a name."
Xia Yuhang smiled, as if he was talking about someone else's affairs, his emotions were indifferent, and he only stopped at the last sentence!
Ning Huaiyuan understood without saying the whole thing, holding the cup in his hand, he didn't know what it was like for a moment!
How did Xia Yuhang and Ning Ziyan get married? Of course he knew. He didn't see Ning Ziying who had been in a corner since entering the mansion. He only knew that she was a gentle girl. It was at that time that Xia Yuhang really didn't feel sorry for Ning Ziyan.
I even feel that Ning Ziyan overreacted.
After all, it was Ning Ziying, not Ning Ziyan, who had a marriage contract with Xia Yuhang at that time! Even if Xia Yuhang wanted to feel sorry for others, he would still be sorry for Ning Ziying, and he had nothing to do with Ning Ziyan at all.
"It's always that woman who made Ziyan lose her child. This kind of woman is not a good one. Don't let her fall on Ziyan." Some things, Ning Huaiyuan didn't know what to say, so he had to hint.
"Okay, I'll pay attention, tell me about you, how does it feel to be back in the mansion?" Xia Yuhang smiled slightly, and changed the subject.
"Yuhang, have you seen my fifth younger sister? She's not the same as before!" Ning Huaiyuan blurted out something inexplicably thinking of the girl under the plum blossom tree.
