The Jingxin Hall is located inside the ancestral hall, and is usually the place where clan members go to ask for help after making mistakes.
Ning Yujin arrived there slowly only to find that the eldest lady and Aunt Zhao were much faster than her. They were already sitting inside, waiting for her for a long time.
Without thinking about it, it must be Ning Yuanzhi and Ning Yuanfeng's letter. How could this century drama not be present at the finale of these two people?
Ning Yuning was resting on the soft couch behind the screen. When she heard that the eldest lady had come over and asked a few questions, she started crying hysterically.
As a result, I cried so hard that I fainted from crying, and the questioning was in vain.
As for whether she was really dizzy or fake, Ning Yujin would not make any comment.
It's just that those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are black. After living with Aunt Zhao, an old actress, for so many years, I must be able to master any acting skills.
But what surprised Ning Yujin was that the eldest lady and Aunt Zhao didn't start to fight each other first? This was even stranger than the red rain falling from the sky.
She silently lowered her eyebrows, stepped forward, and curtsied to Ning Zhongjian and the eldest lady who were sitting on the table: "Father, mother, my daughter is late."
"It's okay, just come." Ning Zhongjian rested his forehead on the table with one hand, and waved her to get up with the other hand, his face full of worry and worry.
Although the eldest lady tried her best to keep her face straight, her brows and eyes still could not hide her heartfelt joy. She covered her lips and coughed, and asked: "Third girl, do you know why I asked you to come here?"
Ning Yujin immediately opened her innocent eyes, looked around, and then shook her head blankly: "When my daughter came all the way, she saw everyone in the house was silent and the atmosphere was depressing, and she was wondering what happened. Mother, what happened at home?
Already?"
The eldest lady's eyes fell on Aunt Zhao and she sneered: "Oh, someone behaved improperly and was embarrassed in front of His Highness King Rending. He still has the nerve to cry here and accuse himself of injustice. It's really funny."
This time, Aunt Zhao didn't let Aunt Zhao speak, but Ning Zhongjian said impatiently: "It's already a mess here, so please stop saying a few words."
The eldest lady snorted, tilted her head to the side, and stopped looking at them.
Ning Yujin was wondering why Aunt Zhao didn't fight with the eldest lady today, but when she secretly raised her eyes, she saw a pair of hateful eyes staring at her, as if they wanted to cut her into pieces with their eyes.
She suddenly understood: No wonder Aunt Zhao didn't answer the eldest lady's words today. It turned out that she had turned her attention to her.
The recent incident where she helped the eldest lady with the idea of buying a shop got wind of it. I don’t know where the news came from. Aunt Zhao is riding a tiger and is afraid that she already hates her to the core. Today’s incident will definitely be dealt with by her as well.
Together.
Oh, the little concubine who no one looked at before has now become a thorn in people's flesh and a thorn in people's eyes. Should she be happy that she finally has a sense of existence?
Ning Zhongjian pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down first and wait until Ning Gui comes back to hear what's going on."
"Yes." Ning Yujin sat down obediently, lowering her eyebrows and lowering her eyes, so well-behaved.
Ning Zhongjian couldn't help but look at her sideways.
She is small, probably because she is young, and she has not opened her eyes yet. She looks like she is not much older than Si Yatou.
She has a gentle temperament like her mother, she doesn't talk too much and doesn't overstep her bounds. She answers respectfully to anyone who asks her a question. She lowers her head and listens when no one asks her, appearing neither humble nor overbearing.
She has been in poor health since she was a child. Because no one took good care of her, she often fell ill. We only saw her a handful of times during holidays.
She just stayed in her little courtyard peacefully, never seeking the same treatment as her sisters in the mansion, being docile and harmless.
Ning'er said she framed her, is that possible?
Putting all the blame on her sister, who has no resistance and no background to rely on, how could she do this?
Ning Zhongjian thought back to the last few times when Ning Yuning pushed Ning Yujin into the water, and the mother and daughter plotted against Qi Yue. He felt like an air-conditioning hit him, and the more he thought about it, the more chilled he became.
Until this moment, watching Aunt Zhao and the others pour all the dirty water on such an innocent child, he didn't know what kind of life his child was living in this house and what kind of suffering he suffered because of his indifference.
bitter.
Wan Niang, you must be blaming me too, right?
For a moment, the wind fell and the shadows fell silent, and I was filled with sadness.
It wasn't until the eldest lady called him several times that he came back to his senses.
"Master, master, Ning Gui is back."
Ning Zhongjian looked intently at the door and saw several people following Ning Gui. He asked someone to stop outside the door, bowed and walked in, saluting: "Master, Madam."
Now that everyone is here, the trial can begin.
Ning Zhongjian immediately looked serious and asked: "How is the investigation going?"
Ning Gui replied: "If you want to reply to the master, Qiaoyun has recruited all of them. A total of seven letters have been received, all of which were received through the concierge Er Gouzi. After reading the letters received, the second lady immediately
It was burned and not a single letter was left."
Ning Yujin raised her head and looked at the brocade screen with orchids painted on it, on which Ning Yuning's silhouette was reflected.
She didn't know if she heard it wrong just now. When Ning Gui said burning the letter, she always felt a subtle and sharp sound coming from the other side, like nails scratching the wood grain.
On the throne, Ning Zhongjian continued to ask: "Where is the concierge?"
Ning Gui hurriedly said: "The younger one has also asked, and the two concierges have all been recruited. The younger one separated and asked the two of them about the time when the letters were delivered. Except for the two times when Er Gouzi couldn't remember clearly, the rest were basically the same.
.”
Aunt Zhao could bear it when she heard what she had heard before. When she heard this, she almost immediately rushed to Ning Zhongjian and knelt down with a plop: "Master, the second lady was wronged! Someone must have framed her! You must
You have to make the decision for her!"
Ning Zhongjian had already heard about the grievances between mother and daughter. As soon as his eyes fell on Aunt Zhao, he unconsciously saw Ning Yujin sitting quietly next to him. He immediately put aside all his softness and coldly
He said in a voice: "I'm not blind or deaf, I'll figure out what's right and what's wrong! If you don't want to get out, just stand aside and say nothing!"
To be honest, Ning Zhongjian rarely treated Aunt Zhao harshly, so as soon as he uttered such harsh words, everyone present was stunned.
Ning Yujin tilted her head and looked at Ning Zhongjian, but she didn't expect that Uncle Quan Ning, who was usually so soft-hearted, would now show some uprightness.
Are you confused?
Looking at Aunt Zhao again, she knew that Ning Zhongjian was her only support, and she did not dare to really offend him. She stood up with sobs and actually stood aside.
When Ning Gui saw this scene, he immediately said: "Master, Ergouzi is right outside the door. I can ask him personally about all matters."
Such a sentence completely eliminates the suspicion of being involved in fraud, which seems extremely upright.
Who asks people to live in this world only to see who can pretend better than whom?
Ning Zhongjian thought for a moment and said, "Let him come in."
Ning Gui immediately complied.
Er Gouzi was short and fat, with a pair of small eyes that immediately turned around as soon as he entered the room. He knelt down from a distance and said, "You little man, Er Gouzi, please see Master, Madam, and Third Miss."
Ning Zhongjian didn't waste any time and asked him directly: "Who gave you the letter you delivered to the inner chamber?"
