Ning Chengen's eyebrows tightened, his eyes burned with anger, and he immediately swung the cane to hit her.
"Hey, brother! Calm down, this will hurt, don't do it!"
Jing Jingxuan quickly blocked him with her arms, took advantage of his hesitation, rushed towards him, hugged his thigh decisively, and started sobbing.
"Second brother, you know me well. I'm usually well-behaved. If I make any mistakes, you have to make me understand, right?"
The glint in her pupils came immediately because she was frightened by Ning Chengen's formation.
Ning Chengen took back the cane he held high and continued in a cold voice: "Jing Jingxuan, my tutor from the Ning family, you have learned how to steal things from a dog's belly. Which hand did you pick it up with?"
Jing Jingxuan hugged his legs tighter and raised her head to look at him with suspicion.
"Brother, what are you talking about stealing? Do you suspect that I stole the crystal earrings? How is that possible! I am the daughter of the Ning family. I have never seen any rare luxury jewelry. How could I steal it! And I stole it from Sister Sheng. This
...You can't do this even if you kill me."
Ning Chengen's brows furrowed even more.
He actually didn't believe this. His little sister had been following him for so many years, and her temperament was still very clear.
It is precisely because of this that he brings people to the ancestral hall for questioning instead of directly binding them to the ancestral hall and serving them without saying anything about family law.
He ordered in a deep voice: "Explain exactly what happened in this matter."
Jing Jingxuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly told him the lie she had practiced many times at her aunt's house.
"At the tea party, Sister Sheng took me to chat. She said she hadn't seen me for a long time and she was thinking about me. She gave me a few words of condolences. Oh yes! She also asked about Sister Xiaoqing's current health. After all, I don't know, so there's not much.
What can I say? We had a great chat afterwards. Sister Sheng said she wanted to give me a small gift, so she gave me the crystal earrings. They are still in my bag now."
She had just been thrown into the ancestral hall by the bodyguards, and her bag fell to the ground at the corner of the pillar.
She tentatively stood up and glanced at Ning Chengen's expression carefully. Seeing that he was not angry, she moved to the corner of the pillar and picked up the brand-name bag on the ground.
He took out a pair of expensive and exquisite blue crystal pendant earrings, handed them to Ning Chengen in a polite manner, and then continued to explain.
"Second brother, when I came back from the tea party, I originally wanted to leave such expensive earrings at home, but when I received a call from Xiao Gu Xiang, I forgot to put them on the dressing table and took them with me."
She took out her mobile phone from her bag, opened the call history, and showed it to Ning Chengen.
After some vivid explanations, Ning Chengen's expression became much warmer.
Jing Jingxuan pretended to be curious and asked: "Why did the second brother just say that I stole Sister Sheng's earrings? What happened?"
Ning Chengen narrowed his eyes and looked deeply, "Lu Shengge claimed that the earrings were stolen, and together with Si Nian, they searched the Ning family's old house and took your sister Xiaoqing away."
Jing Jingxuan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and quickly pretended to be surprised and asked: "Why can they take Sister Xiaoqing away? Doesn't this count as breaking into a private house? Moreover, why did Sister Sheng say that the earrings were stolen? It was obviously her
You gave it to me yourself!”
Ning Chengen stopped explaining and glanced coldly at his innocent and heartless sister.
"Stay away from Lu Shengge from now on. Don't let her take advantage of you anymore. You are no longer young. In the future, except for your own family, you can't trust anyone else's words."
"Second brother, I understand." She replied softly and looked at the rattan in his hand timidly, "Second brother, can you put the thing in your hand back? I look scared...
..."
Ning Chengen rubbed her head and said, "Okay, it's getting late, you go back and rest."
Ning Jingxuan nodded obediently, turned around and left the ancestral hall.
Until she walked out of the ancestral hall, her calves were still trembling.
She took a long breath and patted her heart to comfort her frightened little heart.
She just hoped that after Sister Sheng took Ning Xiaoqing away this time, Ning Xiaoqing would be brought back. She didn’t want to see Ning Xiaoqing in the Ning family at all!
