"What do you want to do?" Mu Jingrui also didn't want Shangguan Wan Ning's reputation to be damaged.
After all, she went out tonight to save his sister.
Shangguan Wan Ning thought for a moment, stood on tiptoes and whispered a few words in Mu Jingrui's ear.
A look of surprise flashed in Mu Jingrui's eyes, and he couldn't help but look at her with admiration. He nodded slightly, gently put his arm around Shangguan Wanning's waist, jumped over the wall, and took her to hide in the corridor.
Behind the pillar.
The two of them observed secretly, and under the dim moonlight, they saw two servants holding sticks, looking warily at the closed door.
Lutong was tied up, with a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth and she kept struggling.
A sharp cold light flashed across Shangguan Wan Ning's face.
Under the cover of Mu Jingrui, she returned to the room and quickly changed her clothes.
Wearing a white gauze skirt, with her hair hanging down around her waist, she wore a moonlight white cloak, which made her already fair skin even more fragile, making her look as weak and delicate as a fairy who had strayed into the mortal world.
Mu Jingrui's eyes stayed on her for a long time.
"I'm going to rescue Lutong. You should go back quickly before anyone discovers me."
Shangguan Wan Ning's cheeks felt hot when Mu Jingrui looked at her, and she lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze.
Only then did Mu Jingrui come back to his senses. He realized that he had lost his composure and secretly took a deep breath.
"I will watch you secretly until you solve the problem."
After saying that, he climbed out of the window and left.
Shangguan Wan calmed down and went to the backyard again.
The two servants were still staring at the door dutifully.
She smiled coldly and scolded: "What are you doing?"
The two servants were startled when they heard the scolding. When they turned around and saw Shangguan Wan Ning walking towards them, they looked at each other and were at a loss.
"You are so brave, you dare to kidnap my personal maid in the middle of the night? Do you think your life is too long?"
Shangguan Wan Ning's cold scolding made the two servants tremble all over. They threw away the wooden sticks in their hands and knelt down quickly, kowtowing repeatedly.
"Just what?" Shangguan Wan Ning stepped forward step by step. The moonlight stretched her figure, making the two servants feel strong oppression. "Don't let go of Lu Tong yet."
The servant trembled and untied the rope for Lutong.
Lu Tong's hair was messy, she staggered to Shangguan Wan Ning's side, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Shangguan Wan Ning took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears and gave her a calm look.
Lutong burst into tears, but nodded slightly.
"You two kidnapped my personal maid in the middle of the night. Not only did you not take me seriously, you also wanted to damage my reputation. It would not be an exaggeration to beat you to death and throw you in a mass grave..."
"Miss, please spare this villain... We are just following orders. Miss, please spare your life..."
Shangguan Wan Ning saw blood on the foreheads of the two servants, and felt that the heat was almost over, so she asked sternly: "Acting on orders? Whose orders? If you don't speak clearly today, you will never live to see the sun tomorrow.
.”
The servant did not expect that the eldest lady, who usually looks weak, would become so fierce today.
The two of them were so frightened that they confessed everything tremblingly.
"That's what the second lady said. She said that if you sneak out at night, it will damage the reputation of the Prime Minister's Office. You must be caught and brought before the master to sue you."
"Yes, the second lady also promised the villain that as long as I catch you, I will... reward the villain with the Green Tong..."
Shangguan Wan Ning's hands hidden in her sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.
Sure enough, it was Shangguan Xiaoxiao who was up to something.
What kind of ecstasy soup did she drink in her last life to make her believe in Shangguan Xiaoxiao's hypocrisy and wholeheartedly accommodate and love her as her own sister?
"Second Miss? You two, please don't frame your sister with your lies just to get away with it." Shangguan Wanning's eyes flashed with a bit of a biting chill.
"Young people don't dare to lie. Miss, it's true..."
"Okay. I don't want you to think that I am acting unfairly. Since you said it was the second lady who instigated it, I will give you a fair chance."
The corners of Shangguan Wan Ning's lips raised into a sneer.
"Lutong, go and wake up my parents. Please go to the hall. Then go and invite Xiaoxiao and Erniang. Let's talk clearly in person."
Lu Tong was a little dazed. She still didn't understand why Shangguan Wan Ning came out when she had gone out.
However, she didn't have time to think too much. After getting her hair cut, she went to do some errands.
Shangguan Wan Ning called for the patrolling guard and tied up the two servants and led them to the hall.
"Ning'er, why are you waking everyone up in the middle of the night?" Shangguan's wife came to the hall, with a bit of complaint in her tone, "Your father has to go to court early in the morning, and he doesn't even have to rest after you make such a fuss."
"mother……"
Shangguan Wan Ning suddenly knelt down, her eyes were scarlet red, and tears of grievance filled her eyes.
Shangguan Yue and Shangguan's wife were both shocked.
Mrs. Shangguan felt even more distressed. She hurriedly leaned over to help her and asked with concern: "Ning'er, what's going on? What happened? Don't cry and tell mother."
Shangguan Yue rarely saw Shangguan Wan Ning so sad. At this time, Shangguan Xiaoxiao and Aunt Zhao also walked in together.
When she saw the two servants being tied up, her expression suddenly changed. She couldn't help but stop and hid behind Aunt Zhao.
"Let them tell dad." Shangguan Wanning pointed to the two servants.
The two servants were so frightened that they began to defend themselves incoherently. Although the language was confusing, Shangguan Yue also understood it.
He slapped his hand heavily on the table, and the scene fell into silence.
"Xiaoxiao, your eldest sister usually protects you in every possible way, but you actually set up a trap to ruin her reputation. How come you are so vicious?"
Shangguan Yue really got angry, and Shangguan Xiaoxiao was shocked and frightened.
"I didn't...Dad, I didn't frame my sister...I really saw my sister sneaking out."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao looked towards Shangguan Wanning.
She found that Shangguan Wan Ning, who was sobbing quietly, slightly lowered the corner of his mouth when his eyes met hers, and flashed a sly smile.
"Dad, believe me, what I say is true. I asked my servant to secretly guard the back door. I didn't want to make things worse. I just wanted to tell my sister that this was wrong..."
"So, I would also like to thank my sister for her kindness?" Shangguan Wan Ning looked at her father with red eyes, "Dad, it's okay for my daughter to be a little wronged. But if this kind of thing is done to a servant with a loose mouth,
If it spreads out, people will think that your upbringing is not strict, how can the Shangguan family lose their reputation?"
