Chapter 43: Why

Carrying Ran Ning into the house, Zhong Su drove everyone out and asked Xiao Wu to order someone to cook ginger soup and boil hot water. Then he kicked the door, put Ran Ning on the bed, stripped her clothes without hesitation, and then wrapped her in the quilt, leaving only her face outside.

Ran Ning's face was already red and purple, she never thought that she would be untied by Zhong Su's wide clothes like this, although she was afraid that she would catch a cold, but it really overwhelmed her bottom line of shame.

Putting down the bed tent, Zhong Su sat on the edge of the bed and said, "You shouldn't go into the water to save people, what if you drown?" ”

Ran condensed in the quilt and whispered, "I'm okay with my water nature." ”

"That's not going to work either. The water is cold in autumn, how can you toss like this. Zhong Su felt that no matter how big the reason was, it was not worth Ran Ning's descent into the water.

"You can't watch Tan Ling drown." Ran Ning mainly felt that if she didn't jump down, it would be too easy for Tan Ling to wrongfully accuse her and push her into the water.

Zhong Su frowned and said, "There is a family." ”

Ran Ning sighed slowly and asked, "Don't you even ask me how she fell into the water?" ”

"Did you push her?" Zhong Su raised an eyebrow.

"Of course not." Ran Ning said immediately.

"That's fine. There are so many people in the house, and you can't save her? Zhong Su didn't care about Tan Ling at all.

Ran Ning didn't know whether she should sympathize with Tan Ling or not, it was Tan Ling's own death when she jumped down, but her clothes in autumn were not particularly thick, and when she was soaked in water, I was afraid that it would be really indecent to pick it up, I don't know how her mother-in-law dealt with it, anyway, she was surrounded by Zhong Su's cloak, and there was no problem.

By the pond, Tan Ling's maid knelt on the ground and cried and begged Tan to call the shots, and Tan Ling had been carried back to the guest room.

Bizhu silently rolled her eyes in her heart, and then knelt down, crying much worse than the maid, "Madam, the young lady is wronged." The slave accompanied the young lady to the garden to fold the hibiscus, not wanting to meet Miss Cousin. Miss Biao pulled the young lady to speak, and somehow fell into the water. Seeing this, the young lady immediately went into the water to save people. If the young lady intended to push Miss Biao, how could she go into the water to save her? ”

"Grandma, she is the maid next to the young lady, and she must be towards the young lady. Our girl is so good, how can we jump? Tan Ling's little maid didn't let go at all.

"If I can't be trusted, can you be trusted? The young lady has always been dignified and virtuous, and it is impossible to do anything to push the young lady, and in this blue sky, if the young lady does that, isn't she afraid of telling the truth? If you want to frame the young lady, you have to use your brains. "Bizhu doesn't allow anyone to make a fool of herself and frame her young lady.

"You ......" the little maid's face turned red when she was refuted, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Bizhu took advantage of the victory to chase and said: "Obviously, Miss Biao stopped our young lady from talking, and now that Miss Cousin has fallen into the water, she has to put the responsibility on the young lady, the young lady is really wronged!" Please Madame to check clearly! ”

"Enough!" Tan Shi was so noisy that he had a headache, rubbed the corners of his forehead irritably, and said to Bizhu: "Tell Ran Ning, pack up and come to my room." I'm going to see what the hell is going on today. ”

When the little maid saw that the Tan family was still facing her girl, she immediately snorted coldly at Bizhu. Bizhu was angry in his heart, but he couldn't express it, so he had to respond.

When Bizhu returned, the maid had just cooked the ginger soup. Bizhu took the bowl and said to the inside at the door: "Uncle, young lady, the ginger soup is ready." ”

"Enter." Zhong Su's cold voice came from inside.

Bizhu pushed the door and entered, and saw his young lady wrapped in a quilt with a red face, and a pile of wet clothes under the bed. Bizhu is very calm, in her opinion, the young lady and her aunt are husband and wife, and there is nothing wrong with this.

Zhong Su took the bowl and said to Bizhu: "Find a set of clean clothes for the young lady." ”

"Yes." Bizhu immediately responded and went to look for it.

Zhong Su blew the ginger soup slightly, and then fed it to Ran Ning's mouth spoonful by spoonful, it was better to drink the ginger soup when it was still a little hot to ward off the cold, Ran Ning drank a small half bowl, and already felt that his body was starting to warm up.

"Go change your clothes, too." Ran Ning said. When Zhong Su carried her out of the water, her body was also wet.

"There's no hurry." Zhong Su continued to feed her ginger soup. In fact, this bit of water dried up after he baked it with internal force, but thinking that Ran Ning was a clean, he probably wouldn't like that.

"You also drink some ginger soup, the weather is getting colder, you still have to pay attention." Ran Ning was still not at ease.

"It doesn't matter." Zhong Su touched her still a little hot face and continued to feed her.

When Bizhu found good clothes, the hot water was also boiled. Zhong Su put down the bowl, covered the bed net, and asked the maids to bring water in. After waiting for a qiē to be ready, he picked up Ran Ning and went into the shower room at the back.

was put on the bamboo couch on the side, and Ran Ning blushed and grabbed the quilt on her body.

Zhong Su asked, "Can you be alone?" Do you want to call Bizhu in? ”

"I can do it myself." Ran Ning said.

"Okay." Zhong Su didn't say anything more, turned around and left the shower.

Ran Ning breathed a sigh of relief, although they were already husband and wife, they didn't have a round house, so she was still very shy to let Zhong Su see the light without a wisp. Thinking that they still don't have a husband and wife, Ran Ning was also a little worried, but after this period of getting along, Ran Ning felt that Zhong Su didn't dislike her, but when she got up in the morning, she really didn't have the kind of reaction that a man should have when Mama said, so Ran Ning couldn't help but wonder if it would have something to do with him going crazy.

Waiting for Ran Ning to come out of the bath, Bizhu wiped her hair and said, "Young lady, Madam said that please go over after you clean up, and you want to check the matter of Miss Watch's overboard." ”

"No, no." Zhong Su said directly

Ran Ning didn't say that she couldn't do it, but only asked, "How is Tan Ling?" ”

"The doctor has arrived, and he is watching, so it should be fine." Bizhu said.

Ran Ning nodded and took a sip of the freshly brewed tea.

"Little Five." Zhong Su called outside.

"Yes, master." Xiao Wu responded outside and did not enter the door.

"When I went back to my mother, I said that the young lady was uncomfortable, and she didn't go there today." Zhong Su said.

"Yes!" Xiao Wu responded.

"Wait a minute." Ran Ning stopped Xiao Wu who was leaving, she knew that if she didn't find out about this matter, it would be fine. She didn't want to bother, so she said directly: "Help me go back to Madame, as long as Madame goes to see where Miss Biao fell into the water, she will understand." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Wu hurriedly responded before leaving, although he didn't know why, but he believed that according to what the young lady said, it would be no problem to go back.

"What's going on?" Zhong Su asked Ran Ning, he was only concerned about bringing Ran Ning back at that time, and he didn't notice that.

"Today, the wooden fence of the garden is newly painted, and it is not yet dry. If I push her, at the height of the wooden fence in the most convenient position for me to push her into the water, the front or back of her calf skirt will be stained with paint. And she jumped out on her own, and the most convenient way was to step on the wooden fence to relay into the water, so the lacquer should remain on the sole of her skirt and shoes, and the wooden fence would also leave her shoe prints. Ran Ning smiled and said, "Mother is smart and naturally analyzed. ”

Tan Ling entered the water immediately, so Ran Ning didn't react. If Tan Ling wants to refute the statement that she didn't have enough strength to step on the wooden fence when she tore it, it would be even more ridiculous, at that time, was the maid next to her an ornament? Won't you come to persuade or call someone?

"And the strange thing today is that there is not a single person in the garden, isn't this abnormal?" It stands to reason that although the subordinates should not disturb the master's visit to the garden, they still have to be responsible for their own affairs, and it is impossible not to see even a figure in the garden.

"I see." Zhong Su nodded. If the family members of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei were instructed by a cousin lady to turn around, then it would be time for these people to straighten out.

After General Zhong came back, he heard about the affairs of the house, and hurried to the Tan family, just when he heard Xiao Wu's reply, he immediately asked the little guy around him to investigate.

Tan just wanted to get angry after hearing this, but when he turned his head, he saw General Zhong standing outside the door with a stern face.

"I've had people look it up. Let's wait for a reply. General Zhong didn't enter the door, but asked outside the door, "How is Tan Ling?" ”

"It's okay, the doctor just prescribed the medicine, and it's already been arrested." Tan replied. Although she is worried about her niece, she is more concerned about her husband's attitude.

"That's good, go to Tan's Mansion and let Tan Ling live here tonight." General Zhong said that he was not unkind, no matter what the matter was, since Tan Ling was drowning in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, he should recuperate here for a few days.

"Yes." Tan responded and called a personal maid to the Tan Mansion to inform.

After a while, the servant sent by General Zhong talked back and forth, about the shoe prints on the wooden fence, and the fact that Miss Biao had sent all the family members in the garden away.

General Zhong and Tan are not stupid, and they will know what is going on after a little analysis.

General Zhong couldn't say anything, after all, she was Tan's niece. Tan glanced at Tan Ling, who was still asleep, and sighed.

At this moment, the secret guard sent by Zhong Su to investigate the rumors also returned, kneeling in the courtyard and bowing back to General Zhong: "After investigation, the rumors came from Mrs. Tan and have nothing to do with the people in the mansion. ”

Tan's eyes were dark, and he almost couldn't stand. She really didn't know about this matter, she originally thought that it was spread by someone in the family, and she let Zhong Su and Tan Ling alone at that time really hoped that the two could communicate more, maybe they would have a relationship, but she definitely didn't mean to damage her son's reputation. At that time, when the rumors came out, she didn't pursue it, but God gave her a chance to match. But she never thought that this matter was actually spread by her sister-in-law.

General Zhong asked, "Does Su'er know?" ”

"I haven't returned to the master yet, and the master said that the matter is up to you and your wife." The Dark Guard replied.

"Got it. Go down. General Zhong waved his hand.

"Yes!" The Dark Guard replied and stepped back.

General Zhong looked at Tan and said, "This matter is up to you, but I will show you father." Zhong Su is the future heir to the throne, and now his reputation is not good, all because he was trying to save the emperor, so the emperor will not blame and hold him accountable. But if the emperor is unhappy because of his children's private affairs, it is Zhong Su who suffers, and the virtuous concubine is not easy to gain a foothold in the palace. You are the lady in charge of the house, and your father has entrusted you with the power of stewardship because of your ability, and in recent years, you have thought about how you have done. You and I have known each other since childhood, I cherish you and respect you, you are confused, you and I husband and wife, I can't bear to blame you, but it doesn't mean that I will agree with you. Ran Ning just passed the door, Su'er likes her, my father and I are also very satisfied with her, she has nothing wrong, and she should not be held responsible for your selfishness. Think about it yourself, and when you figure it out, come back and talk to me. ”

After speaking, General Zhong didn't stay long, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Tan stood in place, her heart was very complicated, she didn't know what she had done wrong, and she ended up unflattering. Glancing at Tan Ling on the bed, Tan sighed slightly, and couldn't help but have a touch of disappointment in his eyes......
