Although Prince Cheng told the master and his wife about what happened recently, he did not tell them the details. Even when something happened to Ning'er in the palace, he did not mention that it was because of a plot against Yun Ying. After the old lady taught the slave,
He didn't mention that the person was Tan'er.
Therefore, the master was very surprised when he heard what the old lady said. He didn't expect that Ning'er was punished because of this.
Looking back, he felt something was wrong at the time. It was clearly Ning'er who had the trouble in the palace, so why should he punish Ning'er? Now he understood everything. In order to plot against Yun Ying, he actually set up Yun Ying in the palace, but he did not think of reaping the consequences.
No wonder Sheng'er was hesitant and refused to tell them the truth at first. If his wife found out, she would definitely be very angry.
"Mother, please calm down first. Sheng'er was worried that we would be angry, so he didn't tell us the truth. This child must feel that Ning'er has changed his mind and there is no need to mention the past things anymore," the master advised.
"In that case, why are you asking me?" the old lady said.
"I want to know how Yun Ying is doing recently. From what you said, it turns out that Ning'er has been causing trouble for Yun Ying. This child has really suffered a lot of grievances since she came back. Don't worry, mother, her son will treat her well in the future.
." said the master.
"If nothing happens, please go back quickly." The old lady said.
"Wait a minute, mother, Feng'er also wants to ask you about a maid next to Ning'er." The master said.
"Tan'er? I thought this girl was pitiful, so I left her with me. Tan'er is my daughter now, not a maid," the old lady said.
"Mother, I want to know what happened. How could you suddenly accept her as your goddaughter?" the master asked.
"Didn't Sheng'er and Ning'er tell you?" the old lady asked.
"Didn't I tell you? Although we know that you left that girl in the yard, we don't know why." The master said.
"Sure enough, Sheng'er has also become cunning." The old lady said.
"Mother, please tell me what it is for." The master said.
"Why are you so concerned about Tan'er's affairs?" the old lady asked.
At first, the old lady thought that the master only acted like this because he cared about Ning'er. Yun Ying was his daughter, and he should know what happened. But Tan'er was just Ning'er's servant at the beginning. Is it worth asking them again and again?
? Even if they knew that Ning'er had poisoned Tan'er, they wouldn't care. In their hearts, isn't Ning'er the most important?
She thought Sheng'er had told the couple everything, but Sheng'er only told half of the story. She didn't mention a word about the cause of the matter.
"Mother, please don't ask," the master said.
"I know you only care about Ning'er. As long as Ning'er is fine now, why are you asking about Tan'er? Do you still want to teach her a lesson to vent your anger on Ning'er?" the old lady said.
"Mother, my son dare not hide it from you. In fact, Tan'er's life experience is not simple. She is not an ordinary maid." The master said.
"What do you mean? Could it be that you had a child with another woman outside?" the old lady asked.
"Of course not, how could I do this? He is the madam's eldest brother, and Tan'er is the eldest brother's child." The master said in the ear of the old lady.
"What? How could the Prime Minister have an extra daughter for no reason? And why would you leave her with Ning'er as a maid?" asked the old lady.
"It's my brother's wish. Once Tan'er's identity is revealed, my sister-in-law will cause a huge commotion," the master said.
"Since you want to know what happened, I will tell you everything. Because Ning'er has been planning to plot against Yun Ying, Tan'er wants to stop it. Because no matter how much Tan'er persuades, Ning'er still insists on going her own way.
.So, Tan'er asked me for help, hoping that I could stop Ning'er from taking action. Unexpectedly, the servants in Ning'er's yard discovered this matter and even reported it. After Ning'er knew about it, she wanted to let her mother-in-law know about it.
I cut off her tongue and threw her into the brothel. Because I was worried that something would happen to her, I asked Aunt Qing to keep an eye on her. I didn't expect that something really happened. Aunt Qing stopped the two women and picked up Tan'er.
After arriving in my yard, I left a small life. I saw that this girl was smart and kind, so I decided to treat her as my goddaughter and stay by my side. However, Ning'er was still unwilling to give in. While she was paying her respects to me, she asked
The servant beat Tan'er. That's the whole thing, do you understand it?" the old lady said.
It turned out that Sheng'er had concealed so many things. As he thought, the old lady would not lose such a temper just because Ning'er taught her servants a lesson. It seemed that it was indeed Ning'er's fault.
"Mother, my son understands." the master said.
"Now that we understand everything, we must teach Ning'er well when we go back and don't let her act arbitrarily. Princess Pluto has already spoken, and this is the last time," the old lady said.
"Feng'er knows, mother, don't worry, I will take good care of Ning'er," the master said.
After the master understood the situation, he returned to the Chengjun Prince's Mansion.
After entering the courtyard, the lady found that the master was worried, so she asked: "Master, what's wrong with you? You have been listless since you came back from the princess's mansion."
"Madam, actually, Sheng'er hid a lot of things from us," the master said.
"What happened?" asked the lady.
"Madam, don't you want to know why the mother wants to accept Tan'er as her daughter?" the master asked.
"Of course I want to know the reason. I originally wanted to find a chance to ask my mother, but I didn't expect that my mother didn't give me a chance at all," the lady said.
"Actually, I stayed just now because I wanted to know about this matter, so I asked you to go back first," the master said.
"Did mother tell me what the reason was?" the lady asked anxiously.
"Yes, ma'am, if you find out, don't get excited," the master said.
So, when the master saw his wife nodding slowly, and after taking a sip of tea, he told his wife everything that Sheng'er had not said.
Madam clutched her chest and obviously couldn't believe this was true. She thought Ning'er had changed her ways, but she didn't expect that she had done so many wrong things without telling them. Ning'er was also a member of Cheng's family, so there was no need for the old lady to wrongly accuse her.
And the person who most hopes Ning'er will change is actually the old lady.
Although her eldest brother has given Tan'er to her for so many years, she secretly asks herself every year if Tan'er is doing well. How dare she tell her eldest brother that Tan'er is Ning'er's maid. If the eldest brother knows that Tan'er was killed by Ning'er,
The eldest brother will never forgive Ning'er lightly.
When he was in the Yun family, the eldest brother was most partial to his eldest sister, and he never had a good attitude toward her. Because his eldest sister was in the palace, it was not convenient to take in this girl. The eldest brother had no other choice, so he asked her to take care of her.
It was precisely for this reason that the concubine was willing to meet her and Ning'er at the Liuli Palace every year during the palace banquet. The reason why Concubine Yun Guifei promised to help Ning'er find a husband was also because of her elder brother's instructions.
Fortunately, the eldest brother didn't know that Tan'er was his biological daughter, otherwise he would have been furious.
"During the flower viewing party, you actually wanted to plot against Yun Ying? Before I left the capital, I specifically asked her not to cause trouble. How could she be so disobedient? Even if she was disobedient, Tan'er almost died." Madam said.
"Madam, since Ning'er has changed her mind, I don't think we should mention this matter again," the master said.
"If she really changes her mind, I don't have to worry. I'm worried that she just said it casually and is planning something secretly," the lady said.
"You don't believe Ning'er? Although we are not in the palace, Sheng'er has been taking care of her. Sheng'er can't lie, right?" the master said.
"Of course Sheng'er won't lie, but he loves Ning'er too much," the lady said.
Although Madam said so, she knew that Ning'er was so cunning, and someone must give her advice. The only people around Ning'er were Hua'er and Qin'er, and she had to go take a look. Qin'er's thoughts
It has always been with Sheng'er, and she had planned to send Qin'er out of the palace to cause trouble.
"Then what should we do?" the master said.
"I'm going to Ning'er's yard now." Madam said.
"What did you say? She just came back, so don't reprimand her. If it weren't for her interceding with His Majesty, how would you have the chance to come back?" the master said.
"Don't worry, sir, I just went over to take a look," the lady said.
"I'm worried that you will hurt my daughter's heart," the master said.
The lady ignored the master, and after bathing and changing clothes, she went to Princess Ning's yard.
"Concubine, why are you here? Ning'er should be here." Princess Ning said.
"Concubine, come here and see who has been taking care of you during this period. I plan to reward them well," the lady said.
"Is what the mother-in-law said true? Since Tan'er was taken away by her grandmother, only Hua'er and Qin'er were left. They took good care of Ning'er, and Ning'er was very satisfied." Princess Ning said.
"Really? Where's Qin'er? She's no longer dressed up in fancy clothes?" the lady asked.
"Mother and concubine, Qin'er is no longer the same as before. She has promised her daughter that she will stay by her daughter's side peacefully in the future," Princess Ning said.
"Call them in, I have something to ask them," the lady said.
"Concubine, my daughter has been taken care of by them these days, please don't punish them." Princess Ning said nervously.
"Don't worry, it's too late for the concubine to reward them. How can she punish them? It's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time and there are some things I want to say." The lady smiled and said.
"Yes, concubine." Princess Ning said.
Princess Ning opened the curtain and asked Hua'er to call Qin'er over. Madam wanted to lecture her. After hearing this, Hua'er didn't dare to waste time and immediately went to Qin'er's house.
"I've met Madam." Hua'er and Qin'er entered the room and knelt down on the ground and said respectfully.
"I heard that Ning'er has been taken care of by you two during this period. It's really hard on you." The lady said with a smile.
"Madam, these are what we should do." Hua'er and Qin'er said in unison.
"Get up and talk, there's no need to be so reserved," the lady said softly.
"yes."
The lady looked at Hua'er and said, "Hua'er, you have worked hard during this period."
"Madam, these are all Hua'er's responsibilities. Hua'er should take good care of the princess. It's just that Madam doesn't need to praise the slave anymore. These are what the slave should do." Hua'er said.
"I've heard about it, and I will reward you well. Don't worry," the lady said.
"Thank you, Madam." Hua'er said.
"Ning'er, take Hua'er and go out first. I have something to say to Qin'er alone," the lady said.
"Concubine, if you have anything to say, please say it now." Princess Ning said.
Princess Ning was worried that her mother-in-law would teach Qin'er a lesson, so of course she refused to leave the house.
"Don't worry, Concubine Mu doesn't want to teach Qin'er a lesson, she just wants to say a few words to Qin'er. Don't you believe Concubine Mu?" Madam asked.
"Why doesn't Ning'er believe in the mother-in-law? Ning'er and Hua'er just go out first." Princess Ning said.
