In the main hall of the study, Ning Zhongjian and the eldest lady were sitting on the main seats, their faces ugly, and they seemed to be a bit sulky.
Aunt Zhao and Ning Yuning were standing next to Ning Zhongjian. The two women were covering their faces with handkerchiefs and weeping silently. They lowered their eyebrows and nodded. The pear blossoms were covered with rain. They were miserable and pitiful.
Ning Yujin glanced at Ning Yuning's face, and clearly saw that the corners of the veiled mouth were slightly raised, as if he was laughing at her.
She smiled secretly in her heart: Ning Yuning, you can laugh now, but you will really cry later.
She casually withdrew her gaze, walked forward with an indifferent expression, and saluted the two people on the seat: "Father, mother."
"Rebellious girl, do you know you are wrong!" Ning Zhongjian hardly waited for her to finish her words before he raised his eyebrows and slapped the table, scolding her angrily.
The eldest lady quickly picked up the tea on the table and handed it to Ning Zhongjian: "Master, take a sip of tea to calm your nerves first, and listen to what the third girl has to say."
As he spoke, he winked at Ning Yujin below, indicating that she wanted to "explain well."
This look fell into the eyes of Aunt Zhao next to her. The jealous person who wanted to compete with the eldest lady at that moment was no longer willing, and the cry she had just suppressed came out again: "Master, you have to make the decision for the second lady!
You love her so much on weekdays, and she has suffered so much injustice today. You must seek justice for the second young lady, and you cannot just sit idly by and ignore her!"
Ning Yuning also cooperated and covered her face with a handkerchief, turned her head and cried: "How will I see people in the future? I'm not alive anymore..."
"Oh, my poor child..."
"Father, mother, aunt, my daughter will only come to repay your great kindness in the next life..."
After you sing, I will appear on the stage. No matter the timing, intensity, voice, or expression, Aunt Zhao and Ning Yuning are both professional actors, making the scene lively in an instant.
Ning Zhongjian rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, with a helpless look on his face. Finally, the eldest lady slapped the table and reprimanded: "How unbecoming you are for crying!"
Aunt Zhao stopped crying at the last moment, with tears filling her charming eyes, she looked at Ning Zhongjian lovingly, and softly called out: "Master~~"
Not to mention Ning Zhongjian, even Ning Yujin couldn't help but feel numb all over when she looked at that look and listened to the voice.
Aunt Zhao's lethality cannot be underestimated!
Ning Zhongjian was almost seduced by Aunt Zhao, but the resentment of the eldest lady next to him was too strong, so he quickly corrected his expression and looked at Ning Yujin angrily: "Third girl, do you know you are wrong!"
This time no one interrupted, Ning Yujin answered very calmly: "My daughter knows her mistake."
The lady's hand holding the tea shook.
Aunt Zhao reached out to pick her ears, suspecting that she had heard wrongly.
Ning Yuning's eyes slowly opened wide, with a happy expression on her face.
Ning Zhongjian was used to hearing all kinds of people pounce on him and cry out for injustice, but he didn't expect an honest one to come. The anger he had just been full of was actually reduced a lot by such a calm and unhurried answer.
He was stunned for such a direct answer, not thinking how to deal with it.
Covering his lips and coughing twice, he said: "Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"
Ning Yujin did not squint, stood upright, and spoke with sonorous words: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have deliberately gone against Aunt Zhao. She said that Xiangqiao stole something, so she must have sufficient evidence.
They came to my yard to search my room. I shouldn't have gone to any lengths to show my innocence. I took the initiative to let them search the yard. In the end, I broke the things my eldest sister gave me, which made my mother angry. All of this is my fault.
, please father punish me."
After saying this, Ning Yujin lowered her head, with a look like "It's my fault, it's all my fault." Her words were sincere and every sentence was true, making it impossible to see any falsehood.
Unexpectedly, after she took the initiative to confess her crime, several people in the study fell silent at that moment.
Next to her, Vanilla silently applauded her young lady in her heart: Use retreat to advance, well done!
In the end, it was Ning Zhongjian who spoke first, but it was Aunt Zhao who asked: "You told me that the maid next to the third girl stole Ning'er's hairpin, do you have any evidence?"
Aunt Zhao glanced at Ning Yujin, and when she saw her calm expression, she felt a little panicked for no reason.
She hurriedly explained to Ning Zhongjian: "Master, Qiaoling next to the second lady saw Na Xiangqiao entering the second lady's room, and then the second lady's hairpin disappeared. Is it obvious that she stole it?"
Ning Zhongjian continued to ask: "Then the stolen goods were found?"
"That...that's not the case." Aunt Zhao raised her head and looked at the eldest lady, with a trace of unwillingness and anger in her eyes.
Wasn't that calculated?
Since a trap was designed there for people to jump, the hairpin must have been disposed of as well. Where would she go to search for stolen goods?
Ning Zhongjian's character is somewhat indecisive and soft-spoken, but that doesn't mean he is a fool.
He looked at Aunt Zhao with a stern look, and a little reproachful: "I'm not telling you, how can you believe what the little girl says? The house is restless, it's just those restless people who are gossiping behind their backs!"
The eldest lady snorted coldly from the side: "It's not like there are slaves just like the masters."
When Ning Yujin heard this, she felt a cold sweat in her heart. She was a bit worried about the eldest lady's stupid intelligence.
What Ning Zhongjian meant was that Hong Guoguo was excusing Aunt Zhao! He put the frame-up of Xiangqiao on Qiao Ling, but it had nothing to do with Aunt Zhao!
Why do you always find places where it doesn't hurt to step on others?
Aunt Zhao is a human spirit, she reacted immediately, grabbed her handkerchief and said angrily: "Master, if you don't tell me, I really haven't thought of this. Now that I think about it, Qiaoling's words are full of doubts. Maybe the hairpin is hers."
He who guards himself steals."
Ning Zhongjian said with a selfless expression: "Well, then let's leave the person to Madam."
"Aunt..." Ning Yuning did not expect that the situation would suddenly reverse. When she heard this sentence, she looked at Aunt Zhao in shock, but she stretched out her hand to signal her to stop talking.
She bit her lower lip tightly and immediately understood what Aunt Zhao meant.
This means abandoning the pawn to protect the chariot, pushing Qiaoling out as a scapegoat, and completely leaving the two of them alone.
According to the temper of the eldest lady, Qiaoling will either be sent to the village or be sold directly.
Her most personal maid was lost in just a few words from Ning Yujin?
I never noticed before that this girl is so powerful!
No, not likely.
Could it be that the man from Prince Xing's Mansion made the move and asked the eldest lady and Ning Yujin to join forces to deal with them?
She raised her head and looked at the eldest lady, and saw a look of joy on the eldest lady's face. She quickly raised her face and said in a cold voice: "What about the debt for ruining my Yan'er's things?"
Ning Yuyan!
She really helped in!
Ning Yuning confirmed her thoughts and became a little anxious.
Ning Yuyan has status and means. If she really doesn't want to be the princess, she's afraid things will be quite troublesome.
On the side, Aunt Zhao saluted the eldest lady with an aggrieved look, and said: "Going back to the eldest lady, I was not present when I went to search the room. I don't know why they destroyed the things that the eldest lady rewarded. Madam
Didn't they all be detained? It's up to the eldest lady to decide how to deal with them."
