His words were neither urgent nor slow, and his voice was not too loud. However, he was neither angry nor impetuous, and had a powerful tone of his own. It was as awe-inspiring as the frost and snow in February.
As soon as Mo Jingxiao opened his mouth, Ning Yujin froze on the spot, and Ning Zhongjian felt like he was covered in ice water.
Originally, in a wealthy family, it was natural for the master to deal with the slaves. In the dry wells of some back houses, countless lives were buried in a year.
However, if the crime of "taking people without asking any questions" was taken down by His Highness Prince Ding of Daye, it would be almost like giving someone a death sentence.
Ning Zhongjian was instantly panicked and hurriedly ordered Ning Gui: "What are you still doing? Bring him back quickly and ask the reason carefully!"
Originally, King Ding finally came here, but he didn't want a good thing to turn into a bad thing in the end, and he got himself involved.
Ning Yujin just watched from a distance, watching how Mo Jingxiao turned the entire situation around in an instant with a single word.
I couldn't help but exclaim: "This is the high level of evil!"
108 stood aside and puffed up his chest proudly: That’s right, don’t even think about who our master is!
Qiaoyun was dragged away for a while, and then brought back again. This time, she relaxed.
Ning Zhongjian winked at Ning Gui and asked him to ask. Ning Gui immediately spoke sharply: "What's your name, and which house are you from?"
Qiao Yun knelt on the ground, raised her eyes to look at Mo Jingxiao, her cheeks turned red, and she buried her head in reply: "My servant Qiao Yun is the third-class girl in the second lady's room."
"Qiaoyun? Don't I remember that you are a second-class maid?" Ning Yuanzhi, who had been following Ning Zhongjian, suddenly whispered.
Ning Zhongjian immediately glared at him and told him to shut up.
A young master who was studying in the front yard actually remembered a maid next to his concubine in the back house. He said this in front of His Highness Prince Ding. How shameless was he?!
Qiaoyun's face turned slightly pale and she replied: "To tell you what the young master is saying, I made a mistake and have been demoted to a third-class maid by the second lady."
Ning Zhongjian didn't want to hear this and immediately winked at Ning Guijiao to ask other questions.
Ning Gui asked again: "Then what's your intention of running out suddenly?"
Qiao Yun buried her head even lower and suddenly stammered: "Slave... slave... I was just passing by accidentally. I didn't expect to meet His Highness Prince Ding and the master and young masters, so I was a little panicked..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Ning Gui stopped her sternly before she could finish speaking, "You were in a panic just now, your eyes were uncertain, and you clearly looked like a thief with a guilty conscience. Tell me, did you steal your lady's things?
Or did you do something wrong that made you so flustered that you didn’t choose a path?!"
"No slave!" Qiao Yun immediately raised his head and looked at Mo Jingxiao, with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me, I really didn't steal anything from the lady, really not!"
Her true master is here, but she is complaining to Prince Ding. Ning Zhongjian's face is darker than the inkstone on his desk at this moment.
Ning Yujin couldn't hide it now, and her heart was itching as if it was scratched by a monkey: "Hey, I said this Qiaoyun, even if he is restless on weekdays, now he is actually entangled with Mo Jingxiao.
.She doesn’t think that Mo Jingxiao just said a word for her that he is attracted to her, right?"
She quickly looked at Mo Jingxiao to see his reaction.
Well, Mo Jingxiao didn't react at all.
He stood at the right distance, not too far away from Ning Zhongjian, and not too close to Qiaoyun. He never looked at her or said another word from the beginning to the end.
Ning Zhongjian was afraid that Mo Jingxiao would offend him because of this, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "Why don't His Highness go and have a rest first, and then report the results after the servants have finished asking?"
Only then did Mo Jingxiao speak, and said in a nonchalant manner: "No, keep asking."
Ning Zhongjian was immediately puzzled by Mo Jingxiao's attitude.
Most people don't have time to care about such trivial matters, right? What's more, for a person like King Ding who has to deal with so many important military and political affairs every day, which one of them handles is not a major national event?
I heard that King Ding loved his people like a son and was very kind to his family members. Could it be that he was afraid that he would cheat and accuse people unjustly?
Ning Zhongjian immediately told Ning Gui without any pretense: "Ask me carefully and tell me why!"
"Yes, sir." Ning Gui immediately ordered and looked at Qiao Yun with a raised eyebrow, "Since you said you were unjust, why do you look so uneasy? Qiao Yun, His Highness Prince Ding is here, if you are talking nonsense
Eight ways, or some deception, you should know what the consequences will be."
Qiao Yun's whole body shook like chaff, she raised her eyes and glanced timidly at Mo Jingxiao, then she gritted her teeth and whispered, "This slave is just delivering a letter to the second young lady."
"If it was just a letter, why did you lie and hide it just now?!" Ning Gui was aggressive, not giving Qiao Yun a chance to breathe, "Tell me, did you steal it..."
"No!" Qiaoyun immediately raised his voice and defended quickly, "This slave is really just delivering the letter for the second lady. If you don't believe me, just read it!"
While she was talking, she took out a letter from her sleeve. As expected, the envelope said "Dearly addressed by Miss Ning Er".
Ning Gui immediately took the letter and handed it to Ning Zhongjian.
Ning Zhongjian had already vaguely felt that something was not right. Ning Yuning's maid had secretly delivered the letter. The content of the letter was probably very problematic.
But in front of Mo Jingxiao, he had no choice but to continue.
"I want to see what kind of letter this is!"
Ning Zhongjian's eyes turned cold and he stretched out his hand to open the envelope. However, after glancing at it twice, his face suddenly turned pale.
The second young master, Ning Yuanfeng, had already secretly thought something bad when he heard Ning Yuning's name. Now, seeing Ning Zhongjian's face change drastically, which confirmed his suspicion, his whole heart sank.
He couldn't help but lean closer, and with a casual glance, he glanced at the contents of the letter.
Now let alone Ning Zhongjian, even he couldn't help but be dumbfounded and amazed.
"We've been apart for so long, why don't we think about it? The sea and the sky are in sight, and I can't help but feel no need to rely on them. After we say goodbye, I'm still thinking about them, and my heart is filled with sorrow every day..."
Although he only glanced at these few sentences, it did not affect his understanding of what was written in the letter.
He had also seen the touching words and phrases about men and women talking to each other in books.
But the question is, how come the object of this complaint is Ning Yuning?
Now there is a rumor throughout Shengjing that she is going to be the princess, and everyone is holding her high, but at this juncture, she has problems from time to time!
It doesn't matter that a fiancé showed up before, but this...he exchanged letters with a man and was bumped into by King Ding, so what's going on?
Don't say that Princess Ding won't be able to do it now, I'm afraid that Prince Ding will anger the Ning family and suppress her everywhere from then on.
Ning Yuanzhi, that idiot, is destined to mess around this autumn, and he will become an official in the future. If this offends King Ding, how can others dare to use him, even if he is in high school?
When he thought of this, his face instantly turned livid, as ugly as Ning Zhongjian.
Next to him, Ning Yuanzhi looked around, still unsure.
Ning Gui carefully observed the faces of several masters and remained silent.
