When Yuan Dongliang came back, Ning Nianzhi told him about the He family: "I always feel that this silver is strange, should it be, the He family sent the silver here, and the second uncle of Ming'er is going to come to the door to ask for it back, right?" ”

Yuan Dongliang was silent for a moment before saying, "The cause of death of the Miao family and the Xiao Miao family is a little strange. ”

Ning Nianzhi's eyes widened, like a curious kitten, Yuan Dongliang couldn't help but raise his hand and touch it, and then said: "The second aunt has always spared her life, it is impossible not to check the carriage before going out, how could the horse go crazy for no reason?" ”

Ning Nianzhi pursed his lips: "Maybe I'm hungry halfway, what did I eat?" ”

Yuan Dongliang couldn't help laughing: "You are also the wife of the housekeeper, let me ask you, if you are looking for a coachman, will you find the kind of person who will let the horses eat at will halfway?" Miao is not stupid, and of course, she is not smart. But not being smart and stupid are two different things, before you enter the door, or rather, before your grandmother cheers up, the Miao family is the housekeeper's wife, even if you are not as good as you, but it is not that you have no real skills. ”

There are no rules, there is no circle, the housekeeper's business, it doesn't mean that you can prepare a menu today and prepare a dress tomorrow, what are the rules of the people in the family, and it is also the business of the lady in charge.

Whoever casually lets the horses eat is definitely not a coachman.

Even if the family is separated, the Miao family will not find a coachman at random when they go out. On the contrary, no one else's horses have an accident, only Miao's and Xiao Miao's horses have an accident, which is also too strange.

Of course, these are not the reasons why Yuan Dongliang suspected the cause of death of Miao and Xiao Miao.

The people who were waiting around the Miao family insisted on this matter, and someone must be making trouble.

The younger brother of He's mother's family has been out for a while.

The coachman suddenly got a windfall.

In addition, today, the He family suddenly sent 100,000 taels of silver.

There are too many coincidences, and Yuan Dong's conscience has doubts in his heart.

Ning Nianzhi pursed his lips and looked at Yuan Dongliang: "So, you mean to say that He did this thing?" That cowardly and cowardly, beaten half to death, but didn't dare to stand up for himself, He found a way to kill Miao and Xiao Miao? ”

"It's all my speculation, there's no evidence." Yuan Dongliang spread his hands irresponsibly, hugged Ning Nianzhi with a smile and kissed him: "If Madam wants to know, I'll find someone to check it when I go back, this matter shouldn't be difficult." As long as it is made by He, it will definitely leave traces. ”

Ning Nianzhi hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "Forget it, don't check it out." ”

Yuan Dongliang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but shake his head: "You, you're just too soft-hearted." I can think about it, it's impossible for the second uncle not to think about it, it's just a matter of time. Do you think that if you save her life now, she will be able to escape this punishment in the future? If you kill someone, you have to pay for your life, and the He family is powerless, even if there is no Miao family and Xiao Miao family, I am afraid that the He family will not live long. “

Ning Nianzhi frowned, and after a turn of his mind, he understood what Yuan Dongliang meant. The original family has now been separated, and the original Chengzong is fine, and he will be able to inherit everything from the original second master in the future. But the original step-grandfather is the second son, if his parents love him, it would be good to be able to divide it into four.

But then what? Holding forty percent of the family property is mediocre, and he will never be able to reach the status of his eldest brother in his life, and he can only be promoted and made rich, can the original step-ancestor stand it? But his father and mother can't help, and he can't murder his eldest brother, so he can only find another way.

The quickest and most convenient way is to find a competent in-law. While the old man is still there, and the second old man has not yet broken up, he can't find someone like Xiao Miao's background, and he must be stronger than He's.

What does Ho have? There is no mother's family, and there is no dowry. He doesn't even have children, and the original step-ancestors don't have to hesitate because of their children, so the He family is sure to die.

Ning Nianzhi couldn't help but sigh: "A day of husband and wife for a hundred days, they are also suffering together, but they can't share happiness, if the original step-ancestor really plans to do so, it is not as good as a pig and a dog." No wonder, when the Miao family and the Xiao Miao family tortured the He family so much, the original step-ancestor only made a filial appearance and ignored the He family, he actually wished that the He family was beaten to death, right? It's a pity that He's life is hard, and he just can't die. ”

"Daughter-in-law, don't worry, the original step-ancestor is not as good as a beast, I am not the same as him at all, no matter what happens in the future, you are my most precious treasure, whoever dares to touch your finger, I can help you chop that person."

Yuan Dongliang hurriedly raised his hands and swore, but Ning Nianzhi angrily pulled his slap down: "Okay, I know that you are different from him." Now that the Miao family is gone, then the He family shouldn't be abandoned and go out, right? ”

Without the elder Zhang Luo's relatives, the old lady would definitely be reluctant to come forward, and the He family would be able to live for a few more years, right?

"Naive." Yuan Dongliang pouted: "Grandmother is reluctant to come forward, but the third aunt and the fourth aunt may be very willing to be this matchmaker, but there are no third aunts and four aunts, there are so many people in the original family, are you still worried that you can't find any elders?" It's because of the Miao family and Xiao Miao's incident that the He family can't live long. ”

First, it is just filial piety, and it can also gain a reputation for affection. Second, I am also looking for a future daughter-in-law. Thirdly, the Miao family and the Xiao Miao family always have to give the Miao family an explanation, isn't the He family a suitable candidate for the black pot?

The second master didn't react now, and at this time, I am afraid that he has already discovered that there is a lack of silver, and it is estimated that the He family will not live for three months.

Ning Nianzhi sighed, and didn't know what to say. Sympathizing with He's family, he was a little angry, and now he was even more frightened, two lives, not a kitten or a puppy, it was actually a few days to get the end done, this calmness made Ning Nianzhi a little afraid.

Even if she knew that Miao and Xiao Miao deserved it, karma.

Yuan Dongliang just planned to open his mouth to comfort Ning Nianzhi, he was a big man, and he only felt that He was too stupid for this matter, it was really not worth taking his own lives for the sake of two enemies, there was no extra sympathy, and whoever lived his life was a choice he made. If it's good or bad, you can't blame others.

As far as He's temperament is concerned, Yuan Dongliang is surprised that she can live until now.

But before he could speak, he saw Tingxue rushing in hurriedly with her skirt: "The second master's mansion is on fire!" ”

Panting in one sentence, Ning Nianzhi reacted for a long time: "What? ”

"The second master's mansion is on fire, and the little guy over there came to report the news, and wanted to ask the eldest young master to take someone to extinguish the fire." Hearing Xue take a deep breath and repeat it again, Yuan Dongliang immediately got up, didn't even have time to change his clothes, and said as he walked: "If you are afraid, go and stay with your grandmother, I have to go over and have a look first." ”

It's not for the second master, but for the fire extinguishing, which is under their control. If there is another death, the political achievements of him and the prefect should not be thought of going up.

Ning Nianzhi sighed, and before the words came out, Yuan Dongliang ran away and disappeared. Tingxue cautiously asked, "Shall we go to the old lady?" ”

Ning Nianzhi was not angry: "What are you going to do, only Dongliang himself can do this, the old man will definitely not go, when is this coming, the old man and the old lady must have rested, are we embarrassed to go to my grandmother?" My grandfather must have wanted to throw me out. ”

Seeing that Ning Nianzhi was still in the mood to joke, he was relieved to hear Xue, and served Ning Nianzhi tea with a smile: "Young lady don't worry too much, just the eldest young master's ability, not to mention such a small fire, even if it is on the street, the eldest young master will definitely be able to extinguish it." ”

Ning Nianzhi snorted and laughed: "Do you think he will rain or snow?" No matter how great his ability is, doesn't he have to rely on people to fetch water to put out the fire? As he spoke, he frowned again: "Why did this good and dignified suddenly catch fire?" ”

Tingxue shook her head: "This slave doesn't know either." ”

"Just your poor mouth, hey, I am suddenly reluctant to marry you, as soon as you leave, I will have a lot of peace around me, maybe I won't get used to it." Ning Nianzhi said with a smile, Tingxue's face turned red, and she muttered: "It's just that you are married, the young lady wants to talk to someone, and the slave and maid can also rush over immediately, I am afraid that the young lady will have a new person and forget the old person, and if the slave and maid are not summoned for ten or eight years, the slave and maid will not even be able to enter the door." ”

"Don't worry, I'll let you in." Ning Nianzhi said with a smile, as soon as the words fell, he saw Yingxue come in, holding a note in his hand: "The porter outside said that there was a sister-in-law who wanted to see the young lady, but the porter didn't dare to let it go, so the sister-in-law wrote a note, saying that the young lady would definitely meet her if she saw it, young lady, look ......"

As he spoke, he handed over the note, and Ning Nianzhi was puzzled: "Sister-in-law? I don't know any sister-in-law, even in the capital, and I often go to the temple, not to mention the ...... of this cloud city" Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and on the open note, he simply wrote two sentences, but the handwriting was extremely familiar. The content is only known to Ning Nianzhi and the other person.

Because when they said this, only the two of them were present, not even the maids.

"What does that man look like?" Ning Nianzhi raised his head and asked, Yingxue was steady, and she hurriedly replied: "In her thirties, her skin is darker, her skin is thinner, her voice is slightly hoarse, she is wearing a Taoist robe, and there is nothing else." ”

The description is not the same as He's, but when it's dark, you can fool around with a little smearing something on your face.

To see, or not to see? Ning Nianzhi looked at the note again, but in the end he still couldn't be ruthless, what if it was a call for help? I just can't save myself...... Pursing his lips, Ning Nianzhi nodded: "It's indeed an old friend, when we were in the capital, weren't we very good with Master Mingyue?" But I didn't expect that Mrs. Mingyue had traveled here, and she would quickly invite people in. ”

Ying Xue knew in her heart that what Mingyue Master was, there was nothing. But since Ning Nianzhi said that there is, it must be. went out, went to the porter in person, handed over a purse, and asked in a loud voice, "But Master Mingyue?" ”

There was a hum over there, and Ying Xue hurriedly said: "Our young lady didn't know that Mrs. Mingyue was here, and thought that Mrs. Mingyue was still in the capital, please come in quickly, where did Mrs. Mingyue go to play a few days ago?" ”

"Went to ......" said while following Yingxue inside, his voice was also low, the porter pinched the purse in his hand, from the capital, no wonder, the young lady married from the capital, presumably I miss the people in the capital very much, even if there is someone to talk to, it can also relieve the feeling of leaving home, if this nun says it well, maybe she can get the reward of the young lady, then it is good luck.

"Poor Ni Mingyue, I've seen the young lady." After entering the door, the master was too busy saluting, but Ning Nianzhi didn't speak, just stared at the nun, listened to Xue and Yingxue and didn't make a sound, let alone go out, just stayed behind Ning Nianzhi.

After a long time, the nun finally couldn't hold it back, and sighed helplessly: "Are you still afraid that I won't be able to eat you?" Don't you even dare to be alone? ”

"I really don't dare. You set this fire tonight? Ning Nianzhi asked, he hadn't guessed the dictation yet, listening to Ning Nianzhi's question, he was nervous, and quickly stopped in front of Ning Nian, staring at the Mingyue Master opposite with a vigilant face, and then, he finally saw some clues: "You, you, you ......"

"What about me?" Shitai, no, the former He family, smiled, found a chair and sat down, Ning Nianzhi's face was complicated: "You are different from before, if you were like this before......"

He sneered: "You mean to say that if I was like this before, the Miao family and the Xiao Miao family would not have beaten me?" In the end, Miss Everyone, what you think is simple, do you think they are bullying me just because I am a bully? I'm telling you, they beat me so I could die! I'm dead, no one will know about the bad things they did, I'm dead, those dowries don't have to be returned, I die and my original step-ancestor can marry everyone's girlfriend, I'm dead, hello, I'm good, everyone's good, so they have to bully me, otherwise, wouldn't it be more convenient to beat and scold the maid? Even if it's dead, no one will say anything. ”

Ning Nianzhi sighed, he really guessed correctly, I am afraid that the original second master's mansion is up and down, and they all wish that the He family would die quickly.

"Thankfully, I didn't wake up too late. There is revenge, there is revenge, I bought the coachman, oh, you must wonder, how can I still have the money to buy the coachman, right? Hahaha, it's very simple, the coachman is short and fat, ugly, and a subordinate, there is no silver in the family, there are more than thirty people, and he can't even marry a daughter-in-law, I said, if he can do this for me, I will give him the most proud maid around Xiao Miao, the maid is beautiful, smart and smart, and the most good at looking at people's eyes, Miao's one look, she knows whether to take scissors or a ruler, you don't know what to do with these two things, right? ”

He laughed twice: "Of course it's to beat me, what if I don't take something and my hand hurts?" ”

"I also promised him a house and three thousand taels of silver, and he thought that his daughter-in-law wanted to go crazy, even if I only said it verbally, he did it immediately. Of course, I didn't talk like Xiao Miao and farted, as soon as Miao and Xiao Miao died, I immediately had the maid doused with medicine and sent to the coachman's bed. On the night of Miao's death, the two became husband and wife, hahaha, this is really a good marriage, the man is ugly, the woman is ruthless, it is very suitable. ”

"I know that the original step-ancestor will definitely not let me go, so I have to take the lead first, while they are asleep, knock people unconscious, press them in the box, and then, sprinkle wine around the house, and go down the fire, those two turtle bastards will definitely die, and I will lock the doors and windows."

The smile on He's face couldn't be softer: "You see how good I am, in order to let them enjoy the despair and pain before death, when I nailed the window, even my own palm was worn out." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to let Ning Nianzhi look at it. That gentle smile, under the light, was a little gloomy, Ning Nianzhi was sure now, He was crazy. Two lives are not enough to erase the hatred in her heart.

"Not all the people in the house have bullied you, maybe someone has helped you, and you are going down to the fire...... "How innocent are those people?" Ning Nianzhi also extinguished the idea of saving He's life, and was about to get up, but heard He Shi say: "How could I be so stupid, when I nailed the window, I still had those people in the mansion, wouldn't it ruin my plan?" Therefore, I ordered people early on not to go too far from that place. ”

Ning Nianzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, so as long as he saw the fire, he should be able to escape, right? Luckily, there was no wind tonight. But then, Ning Nianzhi couldn't help frowning again, what about the sleeping person? If the fire spreads, people can't run.

He Shihun didn't care: "You are soft-hearted, most of the people in Nafu were taken away from here, they abandoned you and chose the Miao family that day, and now that they are dead, I can be regarded as a breath of relief for you, why are you so unhappy?" ”

"Those are all living people, not ants, not cats and dogs!" Ning Nianzhi couldn't bear it, He didn't seem to understand why Ning Nianzhi was angry, tilted his head to look at Ning Nianzhi, and after a while, he continued to nag: "If you can't burn them, they will kill me, so I have to leave quickly, but before leaving, I have to come to see you." If you hadn't helped me, I might have died. ”

Ning Nianzhi was about to speak, but he didn't watch out, but he saw He Shi pounce on him with a hideous expression: "But I'd rather die early!" Why did you save me in the first place! You were able to save me at the beginning, why didn't you help me later? Let their mother-in-law beat me like that! Aren't you the softest and kindest? Why don't you save me? ”

Tingxue has always been very wary of He's, but He's movements were too fast, and when Tingxue reacted, He had already pounced on him, and Tingxue was in a hurry, so he reached out and grabbed a vase from the side, and smashed it directly at He's head.

There was a bang, and the whole room fell silent. Tingxue was a little panicked: "Will I beat her to death?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't matter if she dies, there are so many people in the second master's mansion, if something happened to her because of this fire, it's not a pity for her to die." Ning Nianzhi hurriedly pulled Xue to comfort him. Ying Xue was strong enough, although her face was pale, she still had the courage to step forward and probe He's snort.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's not dead, it's still alive, I'll just say, listen to the snow isn't so big today, young lady, is there something wrong with this He's head?" ”

Ning Nianzhi sighed: "I'm afraid I've been driven crazy a long time ago, you go and call Mama Tang, and by the way, find a few mothers-in-law and send this person over to your eldest young master." "If you see that only the second master and the original step-ancestor are dead, Ning Nianzhi may be able to save He's life, but unfortunately, He has done too much and implicated too many people.

One report and one report, more repayment, and then come back.

Knowing that Ning Nianzhi had an accident here, Mama Tang immediately rushed over, stepped on the He family on the ground, grabbed Ning Nianzhi's hand and kept asking, "Are there any injured people?" Is there anything wrong with it? Didn't touch it? This He family is too angry! If there is a success, kill the second master, cripple the original step-ancestor, if it is too disgusting, also kill the original step-ancestor, and then have a step-child, or remarry, what's so bad? I have to lose myself. dared to make a move on the young lady, it was really a dog that had eaten his conscience! At the beginning, the silver was taken out to play in the water, and it was also a pleasure to watch. ”

Ning Nianzhi hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm really fine, thanks to Tingxue, I can give Tingxue some more good things when I go back, Brother Guang'er is asleep?" ”

As soon as she talked about Brother Guang'er, Mama Tang immediately changed her attention and hurriedly said, "Brother Guang'er just fell asleep, was the young lady frightened?" Otherwise, let's have some soothing soup in the kitchen, right? ”

"It's all right, what's going on to scare me about this little thing? Besides, after cooking the soothing soup, maybe it will alarm the grandmother, so don't bother, Mama Tang should go back to rest quickly, and you have to take care of Brother Guang'er at night, if you can't sleep well, Brother Guang'er won't be able to sleep well. ”

Mama Tang was willing to leave only when she watched Ning Nianzhi fall asleep, but there was no way, Ning Nianzhi had to go to change her clothes, lay in the quilt and waved at Mama Tang. Originally, I wanted to wait for Mama Tang to leave, get up and read a book for a while, and wait for Yuan Dongliang to come back. Unexpectedly, not long after closing his eyes, he fell asleep directly.

I thought too much about it before I went to sleep, and I actually dreamed of He. When she first got married, although He was shy, she often smiled, like a lily...... Later, someone blocked the sun, someone cut off water and fertilizer, and the lily slowly withered.

was regretting, suddenly heard a burst of crying, Ning Nianzhi quickly sat up, it took a long time to react, not the sad cry of the He family in the dream, but the angry cry of his own big fat boy, Ning Nianzhi rubbed his face, and asked outside: "Mama Tang?" But Brother Guang'er is hungry? ”

Mama Tang hurriedly hugged the child in: "Yes, I don't want to eat rice soup today, I have to come here to find the young lady, they all say that the mother and son are connected, this is to know that the young lady is not happy today, so I want to make a fuss." ”

Hearing Xue come in and light a candle, Ning Nianzhi raised his hand with a smile and took his own kid, and nodded his fat cheeks: "Baby, my mother likes you the most." ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard Yuan Dongliang's voice outside: "That's not good, you can like him secondly, and my favorite can only be me." ”

Mama Tang couldn't help laughing, Ning Nianzhi couldn't help but hold her forehead, with such a husband, she really didn't have to worry about ending up with the same fate as the He family in the future. Moreover, he is not the kind of submissive character of the He family, and he thinks too much.
