3. Wrong Marriage (II)
Nian'er should come down. But I heard the sound of rustling from the depths of the grass in front of me.
"Gege, there's someone talking over there." Nian'er's eyes widened suddenly, and she whispered in Ning Xi's ear.
"Lan'er, Zhi'er, you stay here, someone is coming to tell me. Nian'er, let's take a look. Ning Xi immediately decided, and walked in the direction of the sound as he spoke.
In the depths of the grass, stood the groom from last night, and next to him was a man dressed as a servant. The two didn't realize that Ning Xi was coming, and they were still discussing:
"Ah Hao, have you been sent away by the mothers-in-law involved?" Yu Rui whispered.
"Young master, don't worry, the money I gave them is enough for them to support their old age, such a big thing, it won't be good for them to say it!" Ah Hao looked confident.
"When I see the prince for a while, don't show my feet, let the daughters of the family follow me, and I can't help them."
"Understand, if you can't fight back, you won't scold back!"
"No, if you put up with it too much, they will find out that we did it!" Yu Rui was a little anxious, "You just pretend to be indifferent as before." If the prince is to blame, he will show an attitude that is none of my business! ”
"Zhilu said, young master, when did Ah Hao disappoint the young master? Let's get over there, shall we? Everyone has already arrived there, and the third young master is missing. Ah Hao smiled slyly, followed Yu Rui, and left.
Ning Xi, who was hiding on the other side of the grass, was dumbfounded, but he did it? Why did he want to do this? She couldn't believe that the gentle man last night could be a scheming man. What to do? Denounce him and let Amma call the shots for her? From the conversation she just heard, she could find evidence: with the strength of the palace, as long as she sent someone to check the mother-in-law who handled yesterday's wedding, especially the ones who disappeared today, she would not worry about the truth being revealed. However, she didn't know why, she didn't want to do this, she didn't want to ruin that man, even though that man might ruin her lifelong happiness.
Nian'er saw that her master had not responded, so she shook her lightly and said, "Gege, do you want to tell the prince?" ”
After making up his mind, Ning Xi came back to his senses and turned to Nian'er: "No, don't tell anyone!" After a while, I told the two of them that it was two subordinates who chewed the root of their tongues, and I said that they were beaten, do you know the way? ”
"But Gege, you've been calculated by them! This is related to your happiness for a lifetime! Nian'er was a little unwilling.
"But what if I said it, can I marry the second young master's straw bag? It's better to sell a favor to the third young master, and the future may be better. Having said that, her face was a little hot when she thought of everything last night, and she felt that helping him was not as simple as buying favors.
"The slave and maid understand." Nian'er lowered her eyes and helped her family to the road.
In the guest room, the prince sat on the upper seat, huffing. Du Tongye stood in front of him and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, it was our fault that let Gege follow that rebel." But the matter is a foregone conclusion, and I beg the prince not to pursue it anymore. The prince can rest assured that our Dutong Mansion will treat Gege with the courtesy of his son-in-law Fujin, and will never let her suffer any grievances again. ”
"Yes, Lord Wang," Fu Jin said, "Yu Rui is also our son, of course we will love him." As long as Gege marries into the house, we will love Gege too. If Yu Rui's identity is not enough, we can mention it. Besides, Yu Rui, this kid is very talented, and if he earns military merit or something, he can also match the qualifications! ”
Yu Rui took a step forward, but was stopped by Aunt Mei. Aunt Mei stepped forward, knelt down, and pleaded: "My lord, Fujin, please spare Rui'er, everything is the slave's fault." The prince is kind enough to let the others go, and the slave and maid are willing to take the blame for the capital mansion alone. The prince is gracious, the prince is gracious! ”
Ning Xi walked in, and just as a teacup fell to her feet, it fell apart all at once. Both the Dutong and his wife whispered good words to him, and they kept paying for it. There was also a woman kneeling on the ground, and Yu Rui wanted to help her up, but was stopped by the servants beside her. This is probably Yu Rui's mother-in-law. Seeing that Ning Xi was coming, Yu Rui stopped and stared at her for a long time. Ah Hao next to him glanced at Ning Xi thoughtfully, and quickly lowered his head. The white-looking and slightly chubby man standing behind him was probably the legendary second young master, and the weak woman standing next to him must be the Miss Qian who married in with her.
"Xi'er, you should also know the way. Rest assured, Amma will definitely call the shots for you! The prince turned to Ning Xi.
"Amma, what are you going to do?" Ning Xi stepped forward, and the person standing automatically gave way to her. When she walked up to Yu Rui, she gave him a special look. Yu Rui met her gaze, but he didn't have any expression.
"You are also the marriage referred to by the Queen Mother, and the Dutong Mansion has violated the Queen Mother's will and should be punished." The prince said, glancing at Dutong and his wife. Du Tongye still kept saying that the prince was angry.
Ning Xi looked at the people below, and none of them dared to say anything, thinking that they didn't dare to offend the Jingjun Palace, so he said: "Amma, I think this matter is still wrong." ”
"What?" Ning Xi's calm words were like a bomb, King Jingjun stood up suddenly, slapped the table fiercely and said, "How can this work, our Jingjun Wangfu is easy to bully?" ”
Ning Xi walked to the prince's side quietly, gently patted his chest to give him relief, and whispered, "Amma, everything was a foregone conclusion last night, my daughter is already the third young master's person, marrying the third young master, probably Xi'er's fate." ”
Speaking of this, she attached it to the prince's ear, lowered her voice and said, "To say something disrespectful, the emperor is still a child now." Besides, foreigners control the imperial court, and the world is not peaceful, so the queen mother can't control such trivial matters as marriage. If we poke things out, what's the benefit, it will only increase the topic of conversation after dinner. ”
She paused, glanced back at Yu Rui, and continued: "Since ancient times, good women don't marry second husbands, even if they punish the Dutong Mansion, can Xi'er want to remarry?" I think that Lord Tutong is a virtuous minister, and presumably no matter which young master in the Dutong Mansion is, he should be a good one. If the third young master treats me well, I shouldn't have suffered a loss. After speaking, he turned back and glanced at Yu Rui meaningfully. The latter looked incredulous, and Ah Hao beside him also froze.
"Xi'er, do you really think so?" The prince asked.
"Yes, Amma, what else could I do?"
"Then don't punish them?" The prince was unwilling.
"I have already married into this family, and punishing this family will inevitably hurt ......the harmony," Ning Xi replied.
The prince thought for a while, stood up and said, "Okay, for my daughter's sake, I won't punish you." However, you have made Xi'er wronged, should you compensate her for something? ”
