She stays in her yard all day, and she doesn't step out of the gate, how can she break the rules? There must be a misunderstanding in this. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Ning Jinyun was faintly a little uneasy, she nodded at Qingyun and Zijuan, and told them to retreat first, then turned her head and looked at Aunt Wen with an anxious face, and said slowly, "Auntie, then I'll go to my grandmother's first to see what happened, you don't have to panic, just wait for me in the house, I'll come when I go." ”
As soon as Aunt Wen heard that Mrs. Ning was furious, she immediately panicked, her face turned pale, she grabbed Ning Jinyun's hand, and said, "Yun'er, the old lady won't punish you, or you stay here first, my aunt will go over for you, help you block it for a while, and when the old lady is angry, you will go to Qixiang Courtyard to explain in person." ”
In the past, Aunt Wen often used this method to help Ning Jinyun bear the punishment, but every time until the end, the result was useless work, which made the two of them scolded together, which also aggravated Mrs. Ning's dislike for Wen.
Ning Jinyun knew that Aunt Wen loved her and didn't want her to suffer any grievances, so she couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart, feeling very warm, but at the same time a little bitter. In the Ning Mansion, Aunt Wen had nothing to rely on, but Aunt Wen still tried her best to protect her.
Ning Jinyun smiled reluctantly and comforted softly, "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me, I haven't done anything unruly, so naturally I won't be punished, as long as I go over and make it clear to my grandmother." Don't worry, when I explain it to my grandmother, I will come back and tell you that you don't want to go anywhere, just wait for me in the courtyard. ”
Hearing her say this, Aunt Wen calmed down a little, she squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, and instructed worriedly, "That's okay, but you have to tell the old lady well, don't make her angry again, you are a sensible child, my aunt believes in your words and deeds, there must be some misunderstanding, you go and explain it clearly, maybe it'll be fine, okay, go." ”
Ning Jinyun nodded in response, bent her knees at Aunt Chaowen, and then walked out of the west wing room quickly, and took Qingyun to Qixiang Courtyard.
On the way, their master and servant whispered to each other, each with their own doubts.
"Miss, the mother-in-law who came over to spread the word just now said that the old lady, Aunt Li and the second wife are all here, and I am afraid there is something big this time." Qingyun's eyebrows tightened, and her tone was very worried.
Ning Jinyun muttered puzzledly, "Grandmother knows that I am unwell and will not go out, why does she think that I have made a mistake, this shouldn't be, did the mother-in-law say what happened?" ”
Qingyun shook her head, "No, she won't reveal anything, she just said to let you go over as soon as possible." ”
What is so mysterious, he didn't even want to say more than half a sentence, Ning Jinyun subconsciously bit his lower lip, and the tension intensified a lot.
After arriving at Qixiang Courtyard, Ning Jinyun went in to take a look, and sure enough, Aunt Li and the second wife were there, they were standing on both sides of the grandmother, and the grandmother was sitting on a red sandalwood root carved Taishi chair, her expression was much more fierce than usual.
But what Ning Jinyun didn't expect was that Ning Jinhua and Ning Jinrao were also here, and the two of them were standing in front of the screen, obviously waiting for her to come with the elders.
If she was reprimanded or punished by her grandmother today, presumably Ning Jinhua and Ning Jinrao would definitely want to see her jokes.
Ning Jinyun gritted his teeth and stepped forward to salute, "Grandmother, Yun'er is here." ”
"You're finally here!" Old Lady Ning glanced at her angrily and snorted, "Then do you know why I called you over?" You're so embarrassed to stand there with a pestle, don't you kneel down quickly! ”
Seeing that her grandmother was angry, Ning Jinyun knew that something was wrong, she frowned, and her knees were weak and she was about to kneel. But after thinking about it, she didn't do anything wrong, why did she kneel? Doesn't that mean she's at a loss?
She plucked up her courage, stood up straight again, and said, "Grandmother, Yun'er has not recovered from the cold in the past few days, and she has never even left the door of the Red Peony Courtyard, Yun'er really doesn't know what mistake she has made. ”
"Are you really unwell? Grandmother's age is old, but her eyes are still fine, your little face is flushed, and you are also lacking in qi when you speak, where is there any sickness? Old Mrs. Ning squinted at her, slapped the table suddenly, and said angrily, "In my opinion, you are pretending to be sick at all, and you are not going to tell the truth." ”
Hearing this, Ning Jinyun's heart tightened, it seemed that her little trick was about to be exposed.
But my grandmother was so angry, I don't think it was just because of this, could it be that there were other things involved?
Ning Jinyun stood hesitantly, racking her brains to think about how to answer, she didn't want to confess directly to her grandmother, lest she end up with a name that she loved to pretend to be sick, which would be regarded as leaving a handle for the future.
She bit her lower lip in embarrassment, and before she could reply, Ning Jinhua on the side suddenly opened her mouth, her voice was not loud or small, and everyone in the Ming Hall could hear it clearly.
"Second sister, don't even think about quibbling, two days ago I met the maid pothos next to you, so I asked her about your condition, I thought that your body is always not good and naturally worried about you, so I asked a few more words, but I didn't expect the maid to ask three questions, I don't know anything, I don't even know what your illness is, do you think this makes sense? Pothos is your personal maid, if you are really sick, then how can she not know anything? Ning Jinhua asked repeatedly.
Ning Jinyun suddenly realized that she was careless, it turned out that Ning Jinhua had already suspected her, but she thought that maybe she and Lu Luo were too careful, looking at today's posture, maybe Ning Jinhua had already complained to her grandmother before she arrived.
Even, Ning Jinhua may have smeared her in front of her grandmother......
Ning Jinyun glanced up and saw that her grandmother was staring at her with anger in her eyes, and the second wife next to her looked worried and worried about her, while Aunt Li was waiting to see a good show with her chest up.
Her heart sank, and she turned her head and asked, "Eldest sister, the maids around me will inevitably have times when they are confused, what is this, I have taken the decoction for nearly half a month, and now my body is almost better, you don't have to worry about me anymore." It's just that if you say that I am pretending to be sick because of this, I don't admit it, why do I have to pretend to be sick, is it because I am full of food? ”
Ning Jinhua didn't speak, but he smiled faintly, looking like he had a good chance of winning.
Ning Jinyun was slightly puzzled.
At this time, the old lady Ning on the seat slapped the table heavily, and the room suddenly fell silent. Her face was pale, she glared at Ning Jinyun angrily, and shouted, "You still ask others? You say why! You closed your door under the pretense of being sick, and you didn't see anyone, but in fact you sneaked out to play, and dared to run out to drink secretly, and did something insulting, and you still refuse to admit it?! The man came to the door, what kind of system do you say? ”
Hearing this, Ning Jinyun was dumbfounded, she was suddenly a little confused, what kind of fun and drinking, where did the man come from, what does this have to do with her pretending to be sick.
Could it be that she pretended to be ill and neither went out nor saw guests, just to cover up the fact that she had slipped out of the house? It's a big joke, how could she go out and buy a drink?
Before she could react, Old Lady Ning gave an order, "Come on, go and call that bastard boy in, and let him confront the second lady personally." ”
Then, Old Lady Ning glared at Ning Jinyun again, and said coldly, "When I see him, I will see how you can justify, if this matter is really true, I will definitely not spare you!" ”
