Chapter 120 Threat
(third update)
Nalanjing didn't like to tie his hair that was too complicated, and he was not afraid of messing up his hairstyle. He simply leaned in his arms and let him hold it.
After sitting outside the carriage with the maid who came out of the mansion, I wanted to come in and serve tea and water, but when I saw this scene, a hint of envy flashed in my eyes and I quietly retreated.
When the carriage stopped at the Duke of Guguo's Mansion, the sun had risen.
The manager at the door walked in with a few people.
On the way, the third and fourth wife followed Nalan Jing, introducing the changes in the mansion, and Nalan Jing also learned a lot of information.
The direction the manager took them there was not the hall of the Duke of Guardians, but the residence of the old man.
The old man was indeed seriously ill and bedridden. When Nalan Jing and Rong Xuan entered, Li Jiaheng had already stepped in first and helped him up with the butler.
However, although he was the old man of the Duke of Huguo, he was much younger than he thought, about sixty years old. I heard that the eldest son of the Duke of Huguo of Huguo married late and gave birth to late, and the second son was married many years earlier than the eldest son.
However, the first few of the second sons were all sons, and Nalan Jing could only be the first daughter when he was born.
Nalan Jing and Rong Xuan stood at a distance in the room, bent down at the old man, and no one spoke.
The old man raised his red eyes and tremblingly said: "Grand girl, are you still blaming me?"
Strange? Not to mention that Nalan Jing doesn’t feel too much now. With Rong Xuan alone, she can’t blame the old master’s decision. She doesn’t care about the people in the Duke’s Mansion, but she doesn’t want to hurt Rong Xuan’s heart.
Nalan Jing shook his head, but didn't want to say anything more.
There were also many people standing in the house. Li Xinyi, the daughter of the second wife, walked out of the darkness and knelt down in front of Nalan Jing: "Sister, do you still remember? When Xinyi wanted to marry Rong Xuan instead of marrying her, you didn't want to harm my sister. You would rather die than marry than implicate your sister. You know, if you had to marry, how could your grandfather force her granddaughter to get married regardless of the life or death of her own and granddaughter."
She was accusing Nalan Jing of ignorance of the general and that the Duke of Guru could not help but know the importance of her sister, but only Nalan Jing was selfish and had only herself in her eyes.
Nalan Jing stared at the person kneeling on the ground. She had no memories. She didn't know if the facts said by this sister were true. If it was true, the Li family would be incompetent and could not even protect their granddaughter. She was afraid of implicating the entire Duke's Mansion and forcing her granddaughter to get married.
But these people were justified when they asked her to sacrifice, and now they also asked her to be grateful for her sacrifice and eliminate disasters for the Duke of the National Palace.
Nalan Jing looked at the half-lying old man and then said, "You all know that I don't want to marry, so why should I ask this question?"
What a determination to commit suicide by hitting the pillar and telling one's ambitions by dying.
These people's cruelty ended up accusing others of not having sacrificed generously.
It's really great.
A bitterness flashed across the old man's face, but a darkness flashed in his eyes.
Li Xinyi was unwilling to be ignored and said indignantly: "Sister..."
Nalanjing glanced at her: "What does it mean to kneel on the ground?"
"I...I want to persuade my elder sister not to resent us, woo." Li Xinyi started crying.
Nalan Jing: "I don't blame me, but the original Li Mingqing had already hit the pillar and died. We don't owe each other any more. When we come here today, we just want to visit the seriously ill old man."
Nalan Jing took out the gifts prepared by the mansion and handed them over to the housekeeper beside him, and Rong Xuan prepared to leave.
"Grand girl..." The old man almost fell off the bed in an anxious state.
Nalanjing's temples jumped and he couldn't walk for a while.
After the old man sat down, he asked the others in the room to retreat, leaving only him and a trusted manager. He looked at Rong Xuan and Nalan Jing and choked up and said, "I know you resent the Li family, but the Li family is in trouble now, so you can't help."
Nalan Jing suddenly thought that when she was the princess of the Great Chen, her brother who was questioned knelt in front of her, and her blood was connected. Did she watch him cruelly and be killed?
Of course, cruelty!
Because meddling in other people's business will die!
Nalan Jing said calmly: "My husband is no longer Rong Xuan, so why should we help the Li family?"
The old man stared at Rong Xuan with his big pupils, and his eyes flashed with a moment of madness: "The son-in-law may have a way."
Rong Xuan shook his head decisively.
“…”
The old man opened his eyes wide: "Is there no way you can? They all said that the account book is in your hands. As long as you are willing to hand over the account book to us, we can find a way ourselves."
Nalan Jing felt that the old man was crazy about his appointment. Even if Rong Xuan really held the account book in his hand, he couldn't even get the Tianshun Emperor, so how could he give it to the Li family?
Rong Xuan shook his head expressionlessly.
Old Master Li frowned, and his voice was a little sharp: "No?"
Nalan Jing said lightly: "Can we leave now?"
The old man didn't give up. Looking at the impatientness on Nalan Jing's face, he couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "You really want to see you and be ruthless people?"
Nalan Jing said disgustedly: "I am already a married daughter, what does the life and death of the Li family have to do with us?"
The old man was so angry that he trembled all over. He always knew that this granddaughter was not obedient, but he didn't expect that he was a thorny head and had no face at all.
Nalan Jing and Rong Xuan turned around and were about to leave.
The old man suddenly lowered his voice: "Don't you want to know where your mother went?"
The eldest wife of the Li family is already dead, earlier than the eldest son of the Li family.
Nalan Jingdun stopped and heard the low voice sound again: "What do you think the Li family is in trouble? Because of marrying your mother!"
Nalan Jing has no feelings for the Li family, nor does her mother, because she has no memory and no resentment or hatred.
But the old man was clearly threatening her.
Nalan Jing turned around and looked at the old man.
The old man's eyes were filled with a crazy smile: "Your mother married into the Li family, but she was not a wife and hooked up with him... Don't you want to know that person?"
Nalan Jing said without any hesitation: "I don't want to!"
The old man looked fierce: "You are not afraid that I will spread this matter. By then, your reputation will be ruined, and you and Rong Xuan will become the laughing stock of the entire Shangjing."
Mrs. Li abandoned her husband and son and pretended to die and her lover stayed together. This kind of scandal...
Nalan Jing smiled and said, "Then you can spread it. I am alone now. Your huge Li family is probably the target of public criticism."
The old man said viciously: "You can ignore the Li family and that bitch. Do you even care about your own brother?"
Was Mrs. Li pregnant when she pretended to die and left the Li family?
This is interesting, but what does it have to do with her?
Nalan Jing smiled: "My mother has mercy on me, but she abandons her husband and daughter, and her sins are unforgivable. The Li family has mercy on me. They also have mercy on me a year ago. As for my younger brother... I don't remember any younger brother I have."
