Hearing Mrs. Tai's question, Ling hurriedly called Qu!
"Mother, the daughter-in-law was given away by someone. It may be that the screwdriver was so busy that I forgot about the Mingshuang Courtyard. There are so many guests in the mansion just now. The daughter-in-law can't keep guarding the fifth girl! As for those This servant is lazy and ran out on his own, it really has nothing to do with his wife."
"You have been in charge of this mansion for a while, why is there still that evil slave who bullies the master! Although the fifth girl lives a bit out of the way, she is also the daughter-in-law of my Hou's mansion. How can she tolerate being bullied? Just ask people to add a few more people to Mingshuangyuan, and don't let the fifth girl be wronged." Mrs. Tai stared at Ling for a while, her eyes darkened, and then said in a deep voice.
"Yes, it's all up to my mother. It's because my daughter-in-law lost her head in the panic that Xueyan was wronged. Xueyan, mother can't help you here."
Ling's mistake was quick this time, and she turned to Ning Xueyan, actually planning to give her a gift.
If this ceremony is accompanied, Ning Xueyan will be accused of disrespecting her elders and arrogance!
Can't be hard, come soft!
Ning Xueyan sneered in her heart, her eyes swept over the gloomy Ning Zu'an, she didn't have the slightest hope for this cheap father, but stayed a little longer on Mrs. Liu's face.
In order to achieve their goals, Mrs. Tai and Ling's really used both soft and hard, and repeatedly made themselves understand what it means to be prosperous together.
It's a pity that they made a wrong calculation this time, and she already has a countermeasure here.
The smile on the corners of her lips was cold, Ning Xueyan turned sideways and took two steps back, avoiding Ling's gift, and raised her head, the sharp coldness in her eyes disappeared, with a bit of surprise: "Mother, you are a first-class prince!" Ma'am, she is my daughter's elder again, how dare my daughter accept your gift, mother is going to kill her."
"Mrs. Ling, don't embarrass the fifth girl. What you want to ask now is what to do next. Doesn't a majestic Mrs. Hou know how scandalous it is to turn a funeral into a happy event!"
Seeing that Ning Xueyan was surprised, but her words were tactful and decent, it became more and more obvious that Ling Shi was impetuous and impolite, even disregarding her own status, and wanted to salute the junior, Mrs. Liu frowned, and did not give Ling Shi a good face, asked directly.
"I… "
Ling couldn't answer for a while, so she turned to Mrs. Tai.
Mrs. Tai coughed, but before she could speak, Mrs. Liu turned to her and asked, "Sister-in-law, you don't know about this, do you?"
These words immediately made Mrs. Tai cough earth-shatteringly, drank tea in the maid's hand for a while, and then said with a look of hatred: "This is all hidden by Ling, how would I know."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Tai became more and more disgusted by seeing Ling.
The Ming family died last night, but she didn't know until this morning that the sedan chairs at Xia's mansion have already left, so they can't let the sedan chairs be brought back at the same place, so let's use another coffin to carry them!
It's not because of Ling that he is so passive now that the matter is imminent!
"It is up to now that we have to find a way to make up for it. The reputation of the Hou Mansion is ruined, which is of no benefit to anyone! Fifth girl, just say that your mother told you when she was dying, and told you to wait until the eldest girl got married before marrying her." Announcing the funeral and deliberately avoiding the eldest girl's marriage, this is also your mother's compassion for the younger generation."
In terms of what she said, Mrs. Tai didn't want to hide it any more, so she told Ning Xueyan her purpose straight to the point.
Someone died in the family, instead of a funeral and a wedding, Ning Xueyan and the Ming family were blamed, such a distortion of the facts, Mrs. Tai and the Ling family still think it should be taken for granted!
Only Ning Zu'an, who was sitting on the side, looked away uncomfortably, with a rare bit of shame on his face.
Sure enough, this is the purpose of Mrs. Tai, Ning Zu'an, and Ling's calling me here at this time!
Clenched hands clenched in sleeves, eyes filled with icy cold anger! He squeezed hard to suppress the rising anger.
It's a perfect idea to let yourself and your mother take the blame, but unfortunately, with me here, I'm afraid your wishful thinking will not come true!
Ning Xueyan nodded and smiled lightly, and said: "Grandmother, Yan'er knows how hard Grandmother has put in, and is willing to do what she says!"
After hearing Ning Xueyan's words, Mrs. Tai felt a stone drop in her heart, thinking that this granddaughter is still a reasonable girl.
Noticing the change in Mrs. Tai's expression, Ning Xueyan smiled again and changed the subject.
"It's just that now the whole city is aware of the scandal that the Marquis' Mansion concealed funerals and held great weddings. If we put it another way now, I'm afraid it will make people think that the Marquis of Huguo is going to cover up the scandal, and will not hesitate to pour dirty water on the deceased. People, if someone with a heart talks nonsense and makes a fuss with the emperor, I'm afraid... "
At this point, Ning Xueyan already knew that the effect had been achieved, and she saw Mrs. Tai's complexion was ashen, and her eyes wandered.
Seeing that Mrs. Tai was about to give in, Ling hurriedly stepped forward and said with a dry smile: "How could the emperor know such a trivial matter, Xue Yan, don't talk nonsense, your exaggerated words will scare your grandmother!"
The meaning between the words is that Ning Xueyan did not want to help the mansion take responsibility, so she intentionally frightened Mrs. Tai.
"Does mother think that the emperor doesn't know? Or does she think that this kind of thing can't be heard directly? Could it be that mother doubts the emperor's ability, if such words reach the emperor's ears..."
Ning Xueyan looked at Ling's faintly, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her lips for a while, and Ling's scalp couldn't help but tingle, and then said slowly: "The crime of bullying the king is an unforgivable crime!"
