Chapter XXVIII
It seems that the reason why my grandmother was angry and called her over for questioning was not because she saw through her trick of pretending to be sick, but because she thought that she had done something degrading to the family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, Ning Jinyun was even more confused, where is this, she rarely goes out, how can she go out to meet men privately and buy wine to drink? The Ning family's family education is very strict, no matter which female dependent, she will definitely not dare to step half a step over Lei Chi, let alone do such an outrageous thing.
There must be a big misunderstanding in this.
Ning Jinyun frowned in surprise, thinking about it again and again, in the memory of her previous life, this matter did not exist. But it has only been less than a month since she was reborn, so in this short period of time, why did she suddenly give birth to such a big branch without the slightest warning?
She couldn't think of a clue.
Ning Jinyun was very puzzled, she shook her head and said loudly, "Grandmother, I have never known any irrelevant men, let alone done anything unruly, if you want to be angry because of this, then you really misunderstood Yun'er, Yun'er has never done anything to disgrace the Ning family." ā
Her eyes looked directly at Mrs. Ning, her expression was very firm, and she couldn't see that she was lying and weak.
This made Mrs. Ning a little more confused. In fact, Mrs. Ning didn't believe that Ning Jinyun would make such a mistake, she thought she knew her granddaughters very well, in her opinion, Ning Jinyun had always been well-behaved and knowledgeable, and she would not easily do too much.
However, just now, a man in rough clothes came to the door of the Ning Mansion, and he made a loud noise, not saying that the second miss of the Ning family owed him money for wine, but also that the second miss of the Ning family often went to the corner of the alley where no one was there to drink. When Mrs. Ning found out, she was almost so angry that she turned her back on her.
Fortunately, she calmed down for a moment, felt that this matter was a little strange, and under the persuasion of the second wife, she was able to dissipate her anger a little, so that she could sit down and ask Ning Jinyun for words.
Old Mrs. Ning's face was gloomy, and she said coldly, "Don't say it too early, you just wait for the confrontation in a while, I see what you can say, if you really didn't make a mistake, then it's okay to say, but if you really do something unruly, then don't blame your grandmother for being ruthless." ā
At this time, no matter whether Ning Jinyun really made a big mistake or was wronged for nothing, Mrs. Ning was very resentful of her, after all, it was because of her that Ning Mansion was so troubled, and she lost some face.
Ning Jinyun clenched his fists and nodded in response, "Grandmother, don't worry, you are not afraid of shadows, Yun'er does not have any misconduct, she will definitely prove her innocence." ā
"It's a good sentence that you are not afraid of shadows, as if you are obedient and well-behaved." Ning Jinhua whispered, "Some time ago, you sneaked out to play and fell into the water and almost had a big accident, have you forgotten?" Sneaking out is your forte, and maybe you've been doing it for the past few days. ā
Hearing this, Ning Jinyun suddenly became angry, why did Ning Jinhua keep going against her today! She turned her head, her expression was grim, and she glared at Ning Jinhua.
At this time, the two mothers-in-law walked in with a man and said to Mrs. Ning, "The person brought it to you, it's him!" ā
Old Lady Ning looked sideways in displeasure, "Don't get too close, just let him kneel in front of the curtain." ā
People have brought, but what kind of people are they?
Ning Jinyun turned his head to take a closer look, and saw a shabby man tied up by five flowers, kneeling on the ground with his body tilted, looking extremely embarrassed. Ning Jinyun's first reaction was that she didn't know him at all, and it was impossible for her to have a private meeting with such a vulgar person, but the next moment, when she saw the man's face clearly, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, she knew him!
The man saw Ning Jinyun's gaze, and immediately climbed two steps forward, shouting at her as if he had seen an old friend, "Second Miss, Second Miss, you are finally here, I am Zhang Fu." ā
Yes, it is Zhang Fu, Ning Jinyun recognized him, he was originally a small servant of the Ning family, and he used to be an errand boy in the outer courtyard, but he had only been in the Ning Mansion for only two months that year, and he suddenly had a serious illness, and he was very sick, so he had to go home and not continue to work in the Ning family.
The reason why Ning Jinyun was so impressed with him was naturally for a reason. She remembered that this Zhang Fu had unclean hands and feet, and had stolen the money bag from his father, and his father was going to punish Zhang Fu at that time, but Aunt Li stopped him and suppressed the matter.
Because Zhang Fu is Mother Sun's nephew, and Mother Sun is Aunt Li's most trusted subordinate, so Li looked at Mother Sun's face and helped Zhang Fu.
But why is Zhang Fu here? And why do you call her warmly, the two of them have no personal relationship, and they haven't even said a word. Ning Jinyun stared at Zhang Fu in surprise, and was about to ask.
But Zhang Fu took the first step, and begged her anxiously, "Second Miss, you owed me two taels of wine money the day before yesterday, and said that you would give me double the money yesterday, but until now the little one has not seen the money...... You better give me the money for the wine, I still have a seriously ill father at home waiting to take medicine, poor people like us are not as good as you, two taels of silver is too much for the small. ā
After hearing this, Ning Jinyun was stunned, and she hurriedly asked, "What did you say?" How can I owe you money, don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with you, who the hell are you? ā
Zhang Fu shook his head vigorously, just bit Ning Jinyun and shouted, "I'm not talking nonsense, you often come to me for drinks these days, just over the corner alley, have you forgotten?" You said that you were from a scholarly family, and it was inconvenient to show up to buy wine and drink, so you gave me errand money to go to the tavern to buy wine for you, and it has been more than ten days in a row. As a result, the day before yesterday, you forgot to bring money with you, so you asked me to pay for it myself, but you never asked me to pay back the money, so I had to find Ningfu. ā
"Shut up!" Ning Jinyun saw that the more he said, the more outrageous it became, he immediately drank him, his eyebrows wrinkled together, "You are simply talking nonsense with your eyes open." ā
There was a hot blood surging up in her head, and she was a little angry, this Zhang Fu was lying at all.
When Old Lady Ning heard this, she said suspiciously: "Yun'er, do you mean that what he said is not true?" ā
"No, every word he says is not true, grandmother, you have to be the master of Yun'er, Yun'er has never bought wine from Zhang Fu, let alone owed him money for wine." Ning Jinyun replied, she felt angry and funny.
She is a girl, why did she go to the corner to drink, this sounds too unbelievable, from this point of view, maybe Zhang Fu wanted to blackmail some money, so he deliberately made up a lame lie.
But when Zhang Fu saw this, not only did he not have a weak heart, but he also stiffened his neck and shouted confidently, "Second Miss, don't deny it, I have evidence, last time you drank too much wine, vomited, and left all your clothes with me, and I haven't had time to return them to you after washing." I've brought it all today, and if you're not afraid of being embarrassed, I'll show you it. ā
Ning Jinyun was dumbfounded, and there were clothes to testify? It's impossible! This Zhang Fuzhen is getting more and more outrageous, what kind of heart is he at.
The old lady Ning on the seat was nervous when she heard this, for fear that this matter would come true, she owed her body forward, and hurriedly asked, "What, you still brought the clothes of the second lady?" ā
Zhang Fu nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, and hurriedly replied, "Back to the old lady, the little one does have the clothes of the second lady as evidence, this matter is true, and the little one is not lying." ā
"Then what are you still rubbing, why don't you get the evidence out quickly." Old Lady Ning's throat tightened, and her voice couldn't help but become urgent, and she drank violently.
The reason why she was in a hurry to ask Zhang Fu to hand over Ning Jinyun's clothes was not only to ask for proof of the truth of this matter, but also because she was afraid that Ning Jinyun's things would remain in Zhang Fu's hands and become a handle he would use to threaten the Ning family in the future.
If Zhang Fu advertised everywhere outside that he had drunk wine with the second lady of the Ning family, and also took out her clothes and skirts to show others, it would inevitably damage Ning Jinyun's reputation, and it would be difficult to marry her into the mansion of princes and generals when the time came, and several other daughters of the Ning family to be married would also be affected by her, and even the entire Ning family would be humiliated because of her, which Mrs. Ning could never tolerate.
