After Ning Yu got married, she rarely returned home, and this time entered spring in a flash.

On this day, Ning Xi leaned on the couch and looked at the script, and heard that Mama Li was coming, Ning Xi threw away the notebook in her hand, sat down upright, and asked someone to invite Mama Li in.

After Mama Li came in, Ning Xi asked someone to bring out the pestle and let Mama Li sit down first. After Mama Li thanked her, she spoke: "The county lord asked the slave to check the matter last time, and the slave and maid have already checked it. ”

Ning Xi nodded and motioned for Mama Li to continue.

"The slave maid found out that the young master Ning had a small courtyard outside, and a woman named Liu Ruyi was placed inside, and the slave and maid deliberately kept an eye and asked someone to check Liu Ruyi's origin, but she didn't want to be a woman from a Qinglou, although it was a show that she didn't sell her body, but it was not good to spread it out, so the slave and maid hurriedly came to report to the county lord."

Ning Xi's eyes were sharp, the woman who could be favored by Ning Hua must be not inferior in appearance, she is still a performer who does not sell her body, if she wants to redeem her from the Qinglou, I am afraid that she needs a lot of money, where did Ning Hua get so much money, and she can also be housed outside.

Ning Xi squinted her eyes slightly, Mama Li glanced at Ning Xi's current appearance, and only felt that the person sitting in front of her was not a boudoir lady who didn't know anything about the world, but more like a lady who had read the world a lot.

"Mama, can you find out how the eldest brother met this woman." It's not that she is too careful, Ning Hua was raised by her uncle's father, and she has been familiar with etiquette since she was a child, how could she go to such a Fengyue place, I am afraid that Ning Hua was designed and I don't know it.

Mama Li naturally heard what Ning Xi meant when she said this, and said: "The slave also suspects that there is something greasy in it, and it has been investigated, but no clues can be found, a year ago, Young Master Ning went to the lake, and Young Master Ning's friend invited Liu Ruyi to play music, this Liu Ruyi is very rhythmic, and I don't want to enter the eyes of Young Master Ning, and then Young Master Ning loves to invite Liu Ruyi to play music when he travels. ”

Ning Xi frowned, it was even more difficult to break the eldest brother's mind.

"It's good that my grandmother and I know about this matter, and we must not spread it out, and the person who does the work is reliable."

"I know that this matter is very important, so I asked that stinky boy in my family to investigate, although he is not in tune, but his heart is enough."

Ning Xi nodded: "Since I can trust Mama, I can naturally trust Mama's family, and Mama Lao will help me check again, where did the eldest brother get so many silver taels to redeem Liu Ruyi." ”

After Mama Li answered, she said goodbye and left.

After Mama Li left, Ning Xi sighed lowly, and was a little hesitant to stop Ning Hua, if Ning Hua was really happy with Liu Ruyi, would it be difficult for him to be the villain who beat the mandarin ducks?

But the news from Mama Li a few days later made Ning Xi firm in her thoughts, looking at the note in her hand, Ning Xi's eyes were a little cold, and when she raised her head, she regained her usual appearance.

"Mingmei, is the eldest brother in the house?"

"I just heard from the little guy in the outer courtyard that the eldest young master left the house early in the morning."

"Isn't it Xiu Mu today?" Ning Xi frowned, as if thinking of something, raised his hand and said, "Erui, you go back to the eldest princess's mansion and ask Mama Li to prepare an ordinary carriage for me." ”

Then he continued: "Cui Luo, stay in the sun, and follow me." ”

Although the four maids didn't know what was wrong with Ning Xi, they didn't dare to slack off when they saw his anxious appearance, and hurriedly followed Ning Xi's words to do things.

Ning Xi took Ming Mei directly to Xu's place, Ming Mei probably guessed that Ning Xi was so anxious because of Ning Hua's matter, and when she saw her enter Xu's courtyard, she thought that Ning Xi would reveal Ning Hua's affairs, but she didn't want Ning Xi to just ask Xu to allow her to go back to the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

When Xu heard that Ning Xi was going back to the eldest princess's mansion, he thought that Ning Xi was going back to get something, and he didn't ask too much and immediately asked someone to arrange a carriage for her.

After Ning Xi returned to the princess's mansion, she took Erui and Mingmei, and directly changed the carriage and left the mansion, Erui saw Ning Xi's increasingly cold face a little uneasy. Glancing at Ah Niu sitting outside the car, she remembered that Mama Li's son was working in the shop, and he had always cared about the affairs of the house, but today Ning Xi brought him too, Erui didn't know where Ning Xi was going, and her own young lady seemed to have changed since she was sick last time.

Ning Xi naturally knew the doubts in her maid's heart, and since she brought them out this time, she didn't plan to hide it from them, but she didn't plan to explain either.

Soon the carriage drove to a remote alley, and Erui opened the curtain to take a look, which was in the middle of nowhere, mostly a small courtyard as soon as they entered, and their carriage stopped at the door of a courtyard.

"Mingmei, go knock on the door and ask for some water."

Ming Mei knew more than Erui, so she naturally guessed Ning Xi's purpose, nodded, picked up the teapot and got out of the car.

Ning Xi leaned against the carriage, closed his eyes, and heard movement outside the car.

"This girl, my young lady wants to drink tea, but she forgot to bring water when she went out in a hurry, and I don't know if I can get some well water here for the girl." The woman who opened the door was a little hesitant, but seeing that Ming Mei was dressed decently and had a silver hairpin on her head, she thought that she was a maid from a rich and noble family, so she let Ming Mei enter the door.

After Mingmei entered the door, he didn't know how to look at the scenery in the courtyard, and then a woman walked out, her appearance was quite bright, and a pair of willow eyebrows were especially beautiful.

"Ah Yu, who is this?"

The woman who opened the door before hurriedly returned: "Master, she came here to ask for water." ”

Ming Mei smiled at the woman: "The slave took the water and left immediately, by the way, the bracelet on the girl's hand was bought by Linlang Pavilion, I saw it in that store with my young lady before." ”

The woman's face stiffened, she looked into the room with some concern, and said with a smile: "The girl has a wrong eye, where can I, an ordinary woman, afford to wear things in the Lang Pavilion, this is just an inferior bracelet, and it is fun to wear." ”

Saying that Ah Yu had already brought water, Mingmei accepted the kettle, nodded to them, and turned to leave, but the corner of his eye swept the woman's expression that suddenly relaxed.

After getting into the car, Ning Xi suddenly opened his eyes: "Did you see it?" ”

Mingmei put down the teapot and sat down in a regular manner: "I saw it, it was indeed a beauty, wearing a bracelet on her hand, and the slave maid looked at something that looked like a Linlang Pavilion, but she denied it, and she seemed to be afraid of being heard." ”

Ning Xi smiled sarcastically, Mama Li's note was written to redeem Liu Ruyi, Ning Hua and Liu Ruyi both spent their savings, and even Ning Hua borrowed money from his friends, if this is the case, where does Liu Ruyi still wear the bracelet of Linlang Pavilion, I am afraid that the so-called spending of savings is just a trick to deceive Ning Hua.

"Go back, Ah Niu, you wait here, and when you see Young Master Ning coming out, invite him to come over."

Hearing Ning Xi's instructions and the previous conversation between Ning Xi and Ming Mei, Erui couldn't figure out what was going on, and she panicked for a while: "Miss, do you want to report the matter of this eldest prince to Mrs. Shizi first, you are a young lady who has not left the cabinet, and there is still a layer of separation from the eldest young master, so it is not easy to interfere after all." ”

"How could I not know that this matter should not be in my hands, but according to the temperament of the eldest aunt, if I knew about this matter, I would definitely send Liu Ruyi away secretly, I don't want their mother and son to have a dislike because of this matter, for a dusty woman, it is not worth it."

"Forgive the slave maid bluntly, you and the eldest young master don't have much affection, not to mention whether the eldest young master will listen to your persuasion, if you anger the eldest young master because of this matter, there is really not much friendship left between you, such a thankless thing, why should you ask."

"If it's what you said, then I'll be clumsy and can't see people clearly."

Seeing Ning Xi say this, Erui knew that Ning Xi had already made up her mind that she would not change it again, so she no longer persuaded her, but she still felt that her young lady should not take care of this idle matter.

"How did the young lady know that Childe was in that yard?" Seeing that the two of them stopped talking, Mingmei changed the topic.

The corners of Ning Xi's mouth rose: "You said that Liu Ruyi seems to be afraid of being heard what you say, I think I am afraid that people will know that the bracelet on her hand was bought in Linlang Pavilion, except for my stupid big brother, who else can she be afraid of?" ”

Mingmei remembered Liu Ruyi's expression as she looked nervously into the house, and suddenly reacted, it turned out that the eldest young master was in the house at that time.

Within an hour after Ning Xi returned home, Ning Hua came to the door, Ning Xi received Ning Hua in a pavilion in the backyard of the princess's mansion, and the maids were all sent out.

Ning Hua saw Ning Xi sitting in the pavilion with a leisurely appearance, paused, and stood outside the pavilion, although his face was trying his best to cover it, it still revealed a trace of panic.

"Third sister, me"

"Big brother, don't worry, sit down and have a cup of tea first, I specially took this water from outside, I think my big brother will like it."

Ning Hua didn't know what Ning Xi meant, so he stabilized his mind and sat down.

Ning Xi smiled slightly and personally brought Ning Hua a cup of tea.

Ning Hua didn't know what his noble cousin meant, so he hesitantly picked up the cup and took a sip of it. Ning Xi was different from Ning Hua, took a leisurely sip of tea, put down the teacup, and then slowly spoke.

"Big brother, since ancient times, it has been said that a woman follows her father at home and marries her husband, do you say that a woman can only tie the rest of her life to her husband?"

Ning Hua was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "That's nature." ”

"Since a woman ties her whole life to her future husband, what can a man give to his wife, respect? Rich? Are these things really rare for women? ”

Ning Hua looked at Ning Xi, with an uncertain look in his eyes, and said faintly: "Since ancient times, men and women have paid attention to the life of their parents, and the words of the matchmaker, although I am a man, I can't disobey my parents, although some things are not what I want, but I also have to do it, not all men will fall in love with their wives, and if they can't love them, they can only respect." ”

Ning Xi gently closed his eyes to hide the coldness in his eyes, a man doesn't like his wife, and he can also accept a few gentle and lovely concubines to pamper and love, but what about women, cover their red hijabs and marry someone they don't know, their lives are tied to this unknown man, how can they not be wronged, but the man only thinks that he married a woman he doesn't love and how can he ever pity his wife, thinking of this, Ning Xi can hardly hide his anger, and sneered:" I thought that the eldest brother grew up in front of the eldest uncle since he was a child, and it was different from other men, eldest brother, do you also think that in the future, you only need to give your wife enough respect to be able to pamper the concubine with peace of mind. ”

"Ning Xi! Although you are the leader of the group, it is not your turn to meddle in my affairs. Ning Hua's voice was obviously a little angry.

"The big sister doesn't want to share a husband with others, why does the big brother think that his future wife is the character of the next person." Ning Xi took a deep breath and eased his feelings, "Naturally, this is the internal affairs of the eldest brother in the future, I have no right to care, and it has nothing to do with me how many concubines the eldest brother will take after he gets married, but only that Liu Ruyi can't." ”

"You also look down on Ruyi's origin."

Ning Xi resisted the urge to strangle Ning Hua, this thing is really stupid to read.

"Big brother is blinded by love now, you can't listen to what I say, I'll remind you, my maid saw that the bracelet on Liu Ruyi's hand today is something from Linlang Pavilion, big brother, you should understand what I mean."

"Your maid is wrong, Ruyi said that it is just a cheap and inferior product."

Ning Xi couldn't help but hold her forehead: "My maid has followed me since she was a child, she has seen a lot of good things, her eyes are very poisonous, and she will never admit her mistake, and my eldest brother will naturally find out if she pays more attention in the future." ”

Although Ning Hua didn't quite believe Ning Xi's words, he still bowed his head, seeing that Ning Xi's attitude would not stab the matter in front of Xu's family, he put his heart at ease, arched his hand to thank him, and turned to leave.

Ning Xi sighed quietly, what kind of bad thing is this, sure enough, men can't pass the □□ level?
