23. Fancy complaints
Ning Xi chose a plain dress, her hair was simply tied in a bun, and with the special makeup, the whole person looked thin and pitiful.
Ning Xi deliberately came over a little late, and when he walked into the main room, he deliberately held Erui's hand, revealing an invincible and weak appearance.
"Xi'er, what's wrong?" Sure enough, Ning Xi's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the Great Qin Clan was the first to ask.
Ning Xi showed a weak smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I was a little frightened yesterday, and my body may be a little unbearable, and I feel a little uncomfortable when I get up this morning, so I came over late, and I ask my grandmother for forgiveness." ”
"Since you're not in good health, don't stand, sit down, what happened yesterday to scare you like this?"
Obviously, compared to Ning Xi's body, the Great Qin Clan was more concerned about what happened to Ning Xi in the Lin'an Mansion yesterday, when Ning Xi returned to her yesterday, her expression was not abnormal, and then the Great Qin Clan did not receive any news, and even saw the Tai Clan again, I don't know if that incident has happened, seeing Ning Xi's appearance today, I can't help but be secretly happy, could it be that it happened! But if it was done, how could she not get any rumors, thinking of this, Da Qin's family couldn't help but glance at Xu's family, she had always known that this eldest daughter-in-law was unconscious, didn't she suppress this matter?
Ning Xi lowered his eyes, his expression uncertain, obviously unwilling to say more.
The Xu clan on the side narrowed his eyes, glanced at the Great Qin clan, and saw the excitement hidden in the depths of his eyes, and couldn't help but be surprised, couldn't be that the Great Qin clan and the Yu clan calculated Ning Xi together yesterday?
Seeing that Ning Xi didn't speak, the Great Qin Clan was even more convinced that the matter designed by the Yu clan yesterday was completed, but for some reason, it was pressed down, this is okay! finally calculated Ning Xi, how could she let her retreat, so she asked: "Xi'er, don't be afraid, if you suffer any grievances in Lin'anbo Mansion, grandmother will definitely investigate to the end and ask that person to give you justice!" ”
Ning Xi sneered in her heart, give her justice? Forcing her to marry Yu's nephew? Does the Great Qin clan want to marry her off like this, and it doesn't hinder her to stay in the British mansion.
Ning Xi still shook his head, reluctant to speak.
Da Qin's family felt that because he was not Ning Xi's own grandmother, Ning Xi didn't trust her enough, so he didn't want to tell the matter, so he said: "Xi'er hasn't had breakfast yet, go to grandmother's room to eat something, you can't be hungry, Miao'er, help Xi'er go in." ”
Ning Miao was also a little worried about Ning Xi, and when she heard this, she walked quickly to Ning Xi's side, looking at her worriedly, Ning Xi shook her head quietly, and entered the second room with Ning Miao.
After seeing Ning Xi leave, the Great Qin clan instructed the people around him: "Grandpa will come back from the court in a while, and invite Grandpa over for a while." ”
Seeing this, the Xu family didn't know the plans of the Great Qin Clan, and hurriedly stopped: "I see that Xi'er was just a little surprised, since she doesn't want to say that our elders want to ask again, besides, this is a trivial matter, my father-in-law is busy with affairs, why bother my father-in-law to ask in person." ”
Seeing Xu's behavior like this, the Great Qin clan was even more convinced that yesterday's incident was suppressed by the Xu clan, and sneered, okay, neither of them take her seriously, do they still know who the mistress of the British Mansion is?
Father-in-law: "Xu, I know that Ning Xi doesn't know your own daughter, you will inevitably ignore it, and I don't ask you to do your best to her like your own daughter, but then she is also the granddaughter of my British government, as a grandmother, how can I bear to see her wronged!" ”
The Xu family was choked by the high-sounding words of the Great Qin Clan, no matter how she said it, the eldest aunt was better than the step-grandmother of the Great Qin Clan, at least she would not harm Ning Xi. And this time the Great Qin Clan is really wrong to blame the Xu Clan, the Xu Clan stopped the Great Qin Clan just out of instinct and felt that the Great Qin Clan was uneasy and kind, as for what happened to Ning Xi in the Lin'an Bo Mansion yesterday, the Xu Clan didn't know at all.
Xiao Qin's clan didn't know anything, although he was a little surprised that Da Qin's clan suddenly cared about Ning Xi, but he still didn't say anything, but kept standing by and watching coldly.
Ning Xi, who stayed in the second room, after waiting for the people around the Da Qin clan to leave, swept away the previous sluggish appearance, picked up the bamboo chopsticks and ate them, and came to the main room early in the morning to ask for peace, in order to highlight her grievances, she really didn't have any food at all, and she was about to starve to death.
Ning Miao sat on the side and watched Ning Xi's changes before and after quietly, and waited for Ning Xi to finish eating before asking, "What do you want to do?" ”
Ning Xi rolled his eyes and put down the bamboo chopsticks: "I just think that since someone has done something wrong, then they should be punished." After speaking, he winked at Ning Miao, Ning Miao frowned, although he didn't know what happened to Ning Xi yesterday, but it was definitely not a good thing, and he asked a little uneasily: "Are you okay?" ”
Ning Xi shook his head: "If there is something, I won't sit here comfortably and enjoy our grandmother's breakfast." ”
If Yu's plan had succeeded, she might have drowned in the Spit Star by now.
After a while, the British Duke came to the main room, and Ning Xi was still in the second room at this time.
When the British duke came over, he saw that the two daughters-in-law and granddaughters were there, frowned, walked directly to the upper seat and sat down, took a sip of the tea that the maid had just served, and then asked Da Qin: "What happened, you called me over in such a hurry." ”
Da Qin's wanted to speak when the British Duke came in, and now when he heard the British Duke ask, he hurriedly said: "Today, Erxi'er came to ask for peace, I saw that her face was pale, and the whole person was a lot haggard, I was very worried about her, so I asked a few words, but she only said that she was a little frightened yesterday, but she never refused to mention what happened yesterday." Speaking of this, the Da Qin clan sighed, "Alas, I am not Xi'er's own grandmother after all, and it is normal for her to be estranged from me, but I really can't bear to see her worried, so I called my grandfather over, yesterday Xi'er went to the maple leaf forest in Lin'anbo Mansion, and I don't know if something happened there." ”
At this time, the Great Qin Clan couldn't help but give Ning Xi eye medicine in front of the British Princess, and also mentioned by the way that Ning Xi had been to the Maple Leaf Forest.
Hearing this, the British Duke frowned.
It happened that Ning Xi walked out at this time, and when he heard the last words of the Great Qin Clan, his eyes turned cold.
Seeing Ning Xi, the British Duke was a little worried: "Can you stand it, do you want to go back and rest for a while." ”
Ning Xi's heart warmed, this is the real relative, what he cares about is always you, not anything else. Ning Xi showed a smile and shook his head: "It's just that I didn't sleep well last year, and there is nothing wrong with my body." ”
Only then did the British Duke loosen his brows, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "I heard from your grandmother that you were surprised at Linamber yesterday, but something happened to you." ”
The smile on Ning Xi's face stiffened: "It's nothing, grandfather don't worry." ”
"In that case, then grandfather won't ask." Although the British Duke was worried, seeing that Ning Xi didn't want to say more, he didn't ask any more, secretly thinking about letting the people below investigate.
Seeing this, Da Qin's family became anxious, she didn't expect Ning Xi to be stubborn in the face of the British duke, didn't ordinary people's children cry to their relatives a long time ago, and she didn't expect the always tough British duke to give up asking so easily.
When this person is in a hurry, his IQ is easy to drop, not to mention that the Da Qin clan is not a particularly smart person, so she hurriedly said: "Yesterday Xi'er went to the Maple Leaf Forest, and I heard that the nephew of the Yu family is also in the Maple Leaf Forest, isn't it what happened between the two of you?" Could it be that Yu Mengxian did something to you. ”
Hearing this, Ning Xi took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes, and immediately his eyes turned red, Ning Xi wailed in his heart, this onion water is really rushing!
Seeing this, the Great Qin Clan felt that he was right, and continued: "Since that Yu Mengxian bullied you, our British Mansion can't sit idly by, I want to see that a good woman in our Mansion was bullied by his son-in-law, and if they don't give an explanation from the Yongning Mansion, this matter will not be over." ”
"Shut up!" The British public shouted in a deep voice, this granddaughter hasn't said anything yet, when the grandmother is here shouting, what is it!
"Grandmother, what are you talking about, what maple forest? Who is that Childe? Ning Xi, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.
The Great Qin clan only thought that Ning Xi was defending himself, so he pretended to be kind and said: "Xi'er, I know that this matter is related to your reputation, so you don't want to mention it, but we can't be bullied in vain, this matter must be explained by Yongning Bo." ”
Now Ning Xi was even more anxious: "But I really don't know any Yu Gongzi, I haven't been to any maple leaf forest yesterday, why does my grandmother keep saying that Yu Gongzi bullied me, is this to splash dirty water on Xi'er?" After saying that, tears flowed down, and this onion water was too rushed!
"How could you not have been, obviously I asked you to come over."
As soon as Da Qin's words came out, the corners of Ning Xi's mouth turned up slightly, she was waiting for this sentence, and the British Duke seemed to hear something unusual, and his eyes became subtle when he looked at Da Qin's eyes.
"I'm ashamed to say it, yesterday my grandmother asked me to walk through the maple forest alone to find someone to come over, but I didn't go far, I got lost, and finally returned to my grandmother under the leadership of a maid in Lin'anbo Mansion, fortunately at that time the second sister had called someone to come over to help, otherwise I would have been guilty of delaying my grandmother's foot injury." After speaking, Ning Xi wiped her tears, and her face turned red.
"You didn't go to the Maple Leaf Grove." The Great Qin Clan looked at Ning Xi in disbelief.
Ning Xi nodded.
"Then what frightened you yesterday!" The Great Qin Clan still didn't believe Ning Xi a little.
Ning Xi pursed his lips before he said: "When I got lost yesterday, I was startled by a mouse that suddenly came out, I think it's quite embarrassing, so I've been embarrassed to speak." ”
Hearing this, Da Qin's aura was a little uncomfortable, she didn't know if this was Ning Xi's calculation, or if it was really just a coincidence, and Xu's eyes looked at Ning Xi a little more probingly, and even Xiao Qin's eyes looked at Ning Xi became different.
The British Duke took a deep look at Ning Xi before he said, "Since the matter is clear, you should go back to the courtyard first." ”
Everyone responded.
After everyone left, the British Duke looked at the Great Qin Clan for a while before he spoke: "Is your foot injury better?" I think I'd better get you a doctor? ”
Da Qin was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the British Duke began to suspect her, where did she have any foot injuries, it was just a trick to take away Ning Xi, if the doctor came, he would definitely find out that she was pretending to be injured, so he hurriedly replied loudly: "No need!" After speaking, he reacted too violently, so he muttered again: "It's much better." ”
The British duke's eyes were cold: "Qin, do you remember what I said when you first got married?" ”
Da Qin's family heard the British public call her Qin's family, and she was a little scared in her heart, and she didn't speak for a long time.
The British Duke continued with a cold face: "I said when you first got married, I will give you the respect of your wife and the qiē you should get as a wife, as for the children you give birth to, I will also treat them equally, give him the qiē I should give, as for the things that don't belong to you, you don't want to fight for it, you remember." ”
The Great Qin Clan nodded.
"Since you remember, why do you still think about the position of the prince, why do you still want to marry Yan'er into the royal family, and even calculate Xi'er, Da Qin's family, and calculate your granddaughter, is this what a grandmother of yours should be?"
Hearing this, the Da Qin clan was really panicked, over the years, the British Duke has treated her well, and the British Duke is a person who respects the rules, although he also has a concubine, but he has not given birth to a son and a half daughter, so naturally she can't get up, and after a long time, she is a little carried away, and she forgets the previous warning of the British Princess, and takes it for granted that she can delusionally think about those things that do not belong to her, it turns out that the grandfather knows everything, but he didn't say it.
"Now that you know, why did you keep pampering me before?"
The British Duke sighed: "You were born in the side room, you have not been educated in front of the lady of the main house, it is inevitable that you are a little confused, I have always felt that I can't be too harsh on you, so I indulged you a little, and over the years, although you have done a lot of foolish things, but fortunately, nothing big has happened, you are my wife, I still want to leave you a decent place in front of my children and grandchildren, I don't want you to do such a foolish thing today, it is also my fault, I am too indulgent to you, Qin, you are old, and the affairs in the house are taken care of by the Xu family, In the future, if you don't have to, you don't have to go out and walk around, and you can live in the house for a long time. ”
The words of the British Duke were equivalent to grounding the Great Qin Clan in the mansion, and she knew that she would never be able to interfere in anything in the mansion in the future. Do you want to say hate? naturally hated, but more regretted, regretting why he wanted to meddle in Ning Xi's affairs, not only did he not calculate Ning Xi, but he ruined the last trace of tolerance that his grandfather had for her.
