Chapter 260, The disaster has moved eastward, and the reason has changed!
Ning was startled and looked at Aunt Yu almost stiffly. She took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in her heart. She was no longer the cousin girl who was submissive to the Qian Mansion.
She is the second wife of the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion and the biological mother of the future empress in the palace.
"Aunt Yu, I don't understand what you are talking about." Ning's face turned cold.
"Mrs. Ning, do you really not understand, or do you pretend not to understand?" Aunt Yu came to the house today to suppress Ning's ways. Seeing her say this, her face became cold.
"I don't understand what Aunt Yu is saying. It's better for Aunt Yu to speak frankly. Now that I am the wife of the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, my cousin and I are at best like the same clan." Ning felt angry in her heart.
Her status is different now, why should Mrs. Qian scold her?
"Mrs. Xin Kangbo is very dissatisfied with what Mrs. Ning has done this time. She should come to see Mrs. Ning and tell her. As for General Jingyuan's wife, she is also dissatisfied. There is another thing that Mrs. Ning probably doesn't know about yet.
The account books in your house are missing, and this matter has something to do with Mrs. Ning."
Before Grandma Yu came, she had sent people to Ning Mansion to look for the ledger. The news she got was that the ledger was missing. Ning Qing, who followed the ledger out of the city, was knocked unconscious. Fortunately, he was fine, and the Ning Mansion didn't do anything about it either.
Dare to show off, and because Ning was injured, every time the Ning Mansion sent someone to see Ning, they were always rejected for various reasons.
After the Ning Mansion sent people several times, they didn't see Ning, but nothing happened, so they didn't think much about it and suppressed the matter.
"What...what?" Ning's face froze in shock.
Aunt Yu said again: "The matter in the store will inevitably involve you. This matter must have been discovered in Ning Mansion. The people around Xuan Pinghou who took action at that time were investigating the matter in Miss Yu's store."
Ning took a breath: "My cousin did this."
"Mrs. Ning's matter now, don't blame it all on Mrs. Hou. Even if this matter has something to do with Mrs. Hou, in the end the account book was hidden in Ning's house and was taken away from Ning Qing. At that time, Ning
Qing still wants to marry Miss Yu, and everything seems to have something to do with you. At this time, do you think you can still get away with it?"
Seeing that Mrs. Ning was still quibbling, Aunt Yu said impatiently, "Mrs. Ning, our old lady only wants you to take the initiative to take over this matter and say that it was you who took the lead. Mrs. Hou didn't know anything, she just listened.
If you say so, our old lady will take care of Mrs. Kangbo and General Jingyuan’s affairs for you."
Ning was shocked all over and looked at Aunt Yu with a stiff face.
Aunt Yu smiled gloomily: "Mrs. Ning, no matter how you look at this matter, you can't get away with it. Not only this time, but also the next one. The Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion is dead, and you have offended the Xuanping Marquis Mansion at the same time.
, Xin Kangbo’s Mansion, and General Jingyuan’s Mansion, I’m afraid they can’t do anything about it, right?”
Ning gritted her teeth, her hands trembled slightly, and the muscles in her entire face were trembling. She wanted to give the old woman a slap, but she couldn't move.
The Zhengyuan Hou Mansion... was really defeated!
"Concubine Ning..." After a while, Ning finally managed to say a word.
Aunt Yu interrupted her rudely: "Mrs. Ning, Concubine Ning is very busy in the palace, how can she care about such a trivial matter like yours? Besides, your matter is also irrefutable. If Marquis Xuanping collaborates with the Yu family again,
The clan members must let Mr. Yu divorce you. Concubine Ning can’t control it. Everyone knows that Marquis Xuanping is causing trouble and no one can control his temper.”
"Acknowledge the ledger?"
"Yes, I just admit that the matter of these account books and the store contract is your wish. It was you who told Mrs. Hou that the store was not good and that she wanted to sell it. You were also helping to deal with it. However, you have been injured recently.
I don’t have the energy to deal with it any more, and those shops that have been sold have no time to transfer the money to Mrs. Hou.”
Aunt Yu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Ning had compromised.
Before coming here, the old lady repeatedly told her that Ning must surrender. This is the most critical thing.
The reason Madam said before didn't make sense, but now she explained that she said that because she listened to Ning's words, mainly because Ning said she couldn't get the money for the time being and was afraid that the Marquis would hold him accountable.
This reason is better than the previous one, and the lady is more innocent.
"Do I still need to hand over the silver to my cousin?" These words were almost squeezed out from Ning's teeth, and she tightly grasped the corner of the quilt with both hands.
Aunt Xiao stood behind her, not daring to speak.
Aunt Xiao was also a housekeeper, but she couldn't compare to Aunt Yu. She didn't dare to speak for her master in front of Aunt Yu.
"That's not necessary, our old lady brought the banknotes." Aunt Yu smiled, opened a small box in her hand and handed it to Mrs. Ning. There were all banknotes inside.
The old lady said that Mrs. Ning should not be pushed too hastily, lest she jump over the wall.
Seeing Aunt Yu taking out the banknote, Ning's face softened slightly, and after she calmed down she said, "What should I do?"
"Just ask her to follow me and explain." Aunt Yu pointed at Aunt Xiao. Aunt Xiao shrank and lowered her head.
If possible, she would rather not be here now. Being favored by Aunt Jade is not a good thing.
"Go and explain to Marquis Xuanping that I am in charge of the matter at Yu Zhuqing's shop. Can you just return the banknote now?" Ning took a few deep breaths.
"Of course that's not all." Aunt Yu smiled, "Because the store was not completely disposed of in the end, the store's contract is temporarily left with Madam Hou. When you come over with the banknote, you also have to ask Madam Hou to take over the store.
I'll give you the contract." Aunt Yu arranged.
This thing doesn't sound difficult, but everything falls on Ning's head. After thinking about it, Ning finally nodded.
"Aunt Xiao, just go with Aunt Yu."
"Madam..." Aunt Xiao was very uneasy, always feeling that things were not that simple.
"Aunt Yu, the matter of Mrs. Xin Kangbo and General Jingyuan's wife..." Ning looked at Aunt Yu gloomily, and her heart became fierce. This is the last time. When her daughter enters the palace, these people have a plan.
Everyone will come to flatter themselves.
"Mrs. Ning, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by our old lady, and the affairs of a few rogues are not a problem." Aunt Yu said, taking care of everything.
After the matter was discussed, even if there was a result, Aunt Yu's attitude became calm again, and there was even a smile on her face. She did not delay the matter, and prepared to go to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion with Aunt Xiao.
"Aunt Yu, wait a minute." Ning couldn't laugh, her heart was heavy, and she stopped Aunt Yu again.
"Mrs. Ning, the more you talk now, the easier it will be for something to happen. Why don't you let Aunt Xiao and the old slave go over first and explain clearly what happened to Mrs. Hou? As for the next thing, we, the old lady, can also reach out first.
Take care, if it's too late and something else happens, our old lady won't be able to control it by then."
Seeing that she was still ink-staining, Aunt Yu's face darkened again.
Ning's eyes darkened, and after a while she warned in a deep voice: "Mother Xiao, just go ahead. Remember, there are things you should say and things you shouldn't say."
"Madam, I understand." Aunt Xiao's vest was covered in sweat.
The two ladies came out of the house, and before they could stand still, they heard a voice: "Mother Xiao, who is this, and why are you disturbing Mrs. Ning's rest at this time?"
The mother-in-law in the residence of Princess Anhe.
"This is..." Aunt Xiao was about to introduce her, but Aunt Yu had already stepped forward to salute the old woman, "This nanny, this old slave is here to visit Mrs. Ning on our wife's behalf."
His attitude was respectful and friendly, and he seemed to be a completely different person than the one who threatened Ning in the room just now.
"Which family is it from?" asked the mother-in-law of Princess An and the eldest daughter's house.
"Mrs. Ning's aunt's house." Aunt Yu said in a low voice.
The mother-in-law of Princess An and the eldest daughter's house snorted noncommittally, "You don't have to come over if you have nothing to do. It will disturb Mrs. Ning's rest. None of you can bear this responsibility."
"Yes, yes, I understand." Aunt Yu said with a smile.
Seeing that she had a great attitude, the old lady didn't make things difficult for her. She glanced at Aunt Xiao, who quickly showed a smile on her face: "Old slave, go see Aunt Jade off."
"Where is Mrs. Ning?" the mother-in-law asked.
"Madam is feeling unwell. She just took some medicine and went to bed." Aunt Xiao said aggrievedly.
"We just went to bed again. Mrs. Ning is so slack. When will we learn these rules well?" The old woman snorted coldly and said with great dissatisfaction.
Seeing that Aunt Xiao and Aunt Yu were still standing in front of them, she waved her hands: "Go and do things quickly! When you come back, help me help your wife. You must learn these rules well, so as not to ruin the whole Yu in the future.
The reputation of the clan."
"Yes, yes, I will send you off now." Aunt Xiao felt aggrieved but did not dare to talk back.
Not only she didn't dare, but also Madam didn't dare.
The two women left the mansion from the front and went around to the mansion of Marquis Xuanping, asking to see Marquis Xuanping.
Hearing that Aunt Yu was coming, Yu Ruiwen let them in after being silent.
"I have seen the Marquis." As soon as he entered the door, Aunt Yu came forward to salute, and Aunt Xiao followed her to salute.
"Aunt Yu, why are you here again at this time?" Yu Ruiwen said calmly. He already knew what happened to Aunt Yu when she came to the house before.
"Master Hou, when our old lady heard about this incident, she was furious and wanted to come over in person to reprimand Madam Hou. However, her body couldn't hold on any longer and she fainted from anger and anxiety. Now she is lying on the bed so angry that she has no choice but to give up.
The old slave came to inquire about this matter." Aunt Yu's tongue was as bright as a lotus flower. Before Yu Ruiwen asked, she took the initiative to explain the matter clearly, "The old slave had heard Mrs. Hou talk about this matter before, so she went to Zhengyuanhou first.
I asked Mrs. Ning, but I didn’t expect that the old slave would actually find out.”
Aunt Yu said, reaching out and patting her chest: "Fortunately, I asked you clearly, otherwise I would have really beaten Mrs. Hou to death."
"Is this matter... related to the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion?" Yu Ruiwen's face was gloomy, and although his voice was not high, it was very dignified.
His doubtful eyes fell on Aunt Yu's face. Yu Ruiwen had always had a good impression of Aunt Yu. Mrs. Qian was a kind-hearted person, and the personal lady beside her also had a good nature, but now, she felt a little suspicious for no reason.
.
Aunt Yu was very familiar with Yu Ruiwen. She knew that Yu Ruiwen was in a rage at this moment, so she immediately accompanied her with a smile: "Master Marquis, don't be anxious. You see, I have brought everyone here. I will listen to her soon."
If you are still not clear about what I said, just ask again."
After saying that, he stepped back to the side and made way for Aunt Xiao behind her, looking calm and letting Yu Ruiwen ask...
