"Don't worry about it, Miss Cousin. This Chang Qi is clearly a scoundrel who wants to take advantage of no one in the temple to come in and steal. Didn't you already have him caught? Why listen to his nonsense again, according to the old slave, we can't afford to bother with this little thing, just dispose of him quickly. ”

Aunt Liang talked to her so kindly, if it was in the past, Xie Ning was afraid that she would be flattered, but at this moment, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

Chang Qi should be dealt with well, but according to the meaning of the Liu family and Aunt Liang, the person behind him doesn't have to be investigated?

Just because he expected them to have such an attitude, the Xiang family would be so fearless.

The corners of Xie Ning's mouth hooked, but the smile was sarcastic, he raised his head and looked at Aunt Liang steadily, and said word by word: "Aunt doesn't know, this Chang Qi is a small guy, not only can get such a powerful drug, but also the back door key of the Fuwei Temple." ”

"Back door key? What does that mean? Aunt Liang was stared at by her, and at this time she had slightly deviated her gaze.

On the other hand, Lou's mother, Chang Qi and others were all pale, although Xiang did not show a little panic, but his heart was also shocked and unspeakable.

Xie Ning just clapped his hands and said in the direction of the door: "Brother Xiao, come in." ”

In just a few moments, a slender figure appeared in front of everyone. But seeing this merry man, he smiled slightly, and stretched out his palm flat, revealing the copper key he had found from Chang Qi's body.

"Ning'er, why is Xiao Gongzi here? What kind of reputation have you made? Xiang's eyes flashed slightly. Preemptively strike now.

Xie Ning shrugged his shoulders, his eyes didn't blink, and he said calmly: "Xiao Gongzi heard about a night attack in my room from Miss Xu, and took the initiative to come over to help. ”

When Xiang Shi heard this, his eyes became a little deeper, but his face made a casual look, and he said, "I see." ”

Xie Ning had no intention of letting her expose the matter so easily, and as soon as her eyes rolled, she turned her head in the direction of the Liu family and said, "Grandmother, Xiao Gongzi had found a key on this Chang Qi before. Because of the strange feeling in the heart. He went out to investigate for me, and found that the key was just right to open the lock on the door of the outer wall of the guest house. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Ning couldn't help but glance at Chang Qi, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth. Said very firmly: "Imagine if this Chang Qi is not colluding with others. How did you get the key? The entrance was covered with vines. People who are drunk and confused must not be able to find it. Previously, he claimed that this matter was instructed by Lou's mother, and I heard it with my own ears. But now my aunt denies it. Then this matter must be inseparable from Fuwei Temple, right? Why don't we call the host master and take a closer look? ”

"Family ugliness should not be publicized," Xiang immediately spoke, his voice was full of disapproval, and his overly straight standing posture became more and more revealing in Xie Ning's eyes, "It is a great fortune that you can stand here unscathed now." Why do you have to find a host and make such a big battle to make people think? ”

Her words of consolation sounded very sincere. It's a pity that from beginning to end, the true face of the Xiang family has always appeared in Xie Ning's heart.

Liu's intention was to calm things down, but she couldn't compromise on this, so after she noticed Liu's action of opening her lips, she preemptively spoke: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop." Ning'er doesn't want to make a big fuss, but the matter has come to this point, and I have no way back. ”

Obviously hearing the deep meaning of this sentence, Xiang couldn't help but glance at Xie Ning inquiringly. Xie Ning noticed her gaze, but he didn't dodge, but calmly looked back, there was no wave in his eyes, only a persistence that refused to compromise.

While the two were still looking at each other, Liu suddenly turned his head to look at Chang Qi, and said in a light tone: "In any case, with the key found by Xiao Gongzi as physical evidence, it is always true that this person broke into the guest house with the intention of stealing. Since His Majesty is not strict, he naturally loses money first, presumably Xiang Fu will not mind handing him over to our Hou Mansion for disposal, right? ”

Xiang's eyes flashed, and he looked away, and just as he was about to speak, Chang Qi's shout suddenly came from the room-"Miss Biao, don't talk nonsense, the person who searched my body before was clearly a monk, but not the son in front of me!" ”

Not wanting him to quibble at this time, Xie Ning sneered, and shouted loudly: "I only ask you, did you come in through that door?" Is it true that this key was found on you? ”

Xie Ning was full of momentum, Chang Qi was stunned by her question, and just as he was about to subconsciously nod, Xiang's voice came from his ear just right, which made him come back to his senses instantly.

"The secret of Fuwei Temple is naturally only known to the monks in the temple, Ning'er, could it be this key...... Did you get it from that monk? Xiang's eyes flashed with a gleam.

Previously, it was said that Xiao Yan had found out the key, but it was just for the convenience of explanation, but Xie Ning didn't expect that Xiang would grasp this point, and reversed black and white without any scruples, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed for a while.

But the more time he got here, the more he needed to calm down, Xie Ning secretly took a deep breath, then raised his head, and said with a slight smile: "Uncle is really good at laughing." So you say, I deliberately used this key to frame him? Could it be that I knew the art of the prophet of the future, and I expected him to show up last night? ”

"It's just a matter of facts. After all, that's the case, and I can't afford to think about it too much. ”

"Ahem," Liu coughed lightly, interrupting Xiang's conversation, but his face showed a little tiredness, and he unabashedly put his hand on his forehead and said, "Is such a sneaky person worth arguing about?" If you want me to say, just beat it to death with a stick, and it's over. ”

When Xie Ning heard this, he couldn't help but feel a stagnation in his heart. On the other hand, Xiang's expression was also grim, and after wanting to speak several times, he hesitated and said: "Mother, after all, he is the scholar next to my nephew...... If you are spared, you will not sin unto death. Do you want to think again? ”

"So what," Liu looked at Xiang with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You have to remember that our Jingyang Marquis Mansion is both prosperous and loss-making. Mo said that Ning'er has now decided on a family matter, that is, how many years younger she is. Nor should it be associated with such a thing. And the rumors are terrible, at this time, you and I are a woman, and our subordinates are merciful, and this person will go out and talk nonsense in the future. What will happen to you? Since Ning'er has caught him, we should take this opportunity to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, so as not to leave future troubles in the future. ”

Xiang saw that she had a tough attitude, and after weighing it, he had to nod and say, "Yes." ”

"As for the aftermath, I'll leave it to you to deal with," Liu looked at her and muttered, "Anyway, this matter must be handled properly after we leave Fuwei Temple." Otherwise, what will be the consequences? You should be clear. ”

Liu's words were more like warnings than commands. Xie Ning could see that she was clearly aware of today's incident. Compared to administering justice for Shainin, she seems to only want to maintain a superficial balance.

"I understand. It's just that today's events have made such a big commotion. I should give the people in the temple an explanation. Otherwise, if Miss Gu and others asked. The daughter-in-law also had no way to answer, and-" Xiang subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yan, and then his voice stopped.

"I'll go outside first." The latter immediately understood. He shrugged his shoulders slightly, handed the key in his hand to Shainin, and turned around and walked out of the room.

Xiang's eyes flashed, and then he cautiously hesitated: "I don't know what happened last night?" Ning'er and his ...... Is there a ......?"

After being blackmailed by the Liu family, the Xiang family was unwilling, but even if she maliciously speculated, it was to no avail. Xie Ning knew Liu's impartial attitude, but it was even more difficult for her to give up.

"Why did my aunt insist that something happened last night? Isn't that what you're looking for? Or is it worse? Shainin's jaw raised slightly, and he raised his voice to fight back.

"What does Ning'er mean by this?" Xiang naturally didn't respond, and with a rhetorical question, he threw the question back to Shaining.

And this is exactly the opportunity that Xie Ning was waiting for, but seeing that the corners of her mouth slowly opened an upward arc, before Aunt Liang and the Liu family had time to stop it, they had already smiled and said: "Didn't I say it before, Chang Qi personally admitted to me before that the reason why he broke into the guest house at night last night was all at the behest of Mother Lou beside his aunt. ”

Seeing her look determined, Xiang couldn't help but speculate a little more, and his heart moved, and he immediately said tentatively: "Uncle doesn't know what kind of prejudice you have against me, and she will actually think that this matter is related to me." You also said that Chang Qi is not credible, maybe he is just talking nonsense? Besides, there is no basis for your words, and your words alone are not any evidence. You don't mean to tell me that Miss Xu and Xiao Gongzi heard what he said before, right? ”

At this point, Xiang couldn't help but smile slightly, glanced at Xie Ning with disdain, and said sarcastically: "The two of them have a very good relationship with you, can you take what you say seriously?" ”

"Naturally, it can't be true," Xie Ning's response can be said to be unexpected by everyone present, not only Xiang's, but even Aunt Liang, Lou's mother and others all looked at Xie Ning in an instant, and the surprise in their eyes was unobstructed.

But seeing her voice pause, Xuan even hooked the corners of her mouth, looked up at Xiang steadily, and continued: "When I questioned Chang Qi, there were not only these two people present. ”

Xiang smiled, still mocking in a slightly mocking tone: "Who is that?" It can't be some monk that Chang Qifang just mentioned, right? ”

Xie Ning glanced at her, his eyebrows raised slightly, but he didn't speak. At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the inner room. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Xiang looked up after noticing it, and his eyes happened to meet the visitor.

"Mother, sister-in-law, she's talking about me."

He's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and Xiang was caught off guard for a while, so he showed a little surprised, and subconsciously asked, "Didn't you go to the Qinglian Hall early in the morning to worship the Buddha?" How could it be here? ”

He Shi smiled slightly, and calmly responded: "There was an accident in Ning'er's room last night, and she was in a panic, so she called me to come and give her an idea. I was worried that this matter would hinder the reputation of our Hou Mansion, so I lied that I went to the Buddhist temple to copy the scriptures. ”

"Well, your approach is extremely steady," Liu said slowly, but in his voice, it was inevitably a little meaningful, "No matter when and where you are, you should act with the Jingyang Marquis Mansion as the priority." ”

Xiang's eyes flashed, but he said suspiciously: "That is the case, then you are in the inner room, you must be able to hear our movements, why don't you come out to meet us?" ”

"I'm going to ask you sister-in-law," He Shi's expression on his face was extremely calm, and after casting a glance at her, he said slowly: "What Ning'er said is right. When I came in, I did hear the confession of Chang Qi. He not only claimed that he was instructed by Lou's mother on this trip, but also said that the reason why she acted like this was because sister-in-law you were dissatisfied with Ning'er's marriage and tried to sabotage it. ”

Xiang smiled disdainfully, but her eyes flickered a little, as if she wanted to use the smile on the corner of her mouth to hide her panic at this time, "Listening to the wind is rain, my younger brother and sister are inevitably too naïve." ”

"Does my sister-in-law think I'm such a listener and believer? If it weren't for your insistence on arranging the place of worship of the Buddha in Fuwei Temple, how could I have decided that you had done this as soon as I heard what Chang Qi said? My mother is right, family ugliness should not be publicized, I didn't plan to mention this matter in front of Miss Xu, and Ning'er originally had no intention of publicizing this matter. But sister-in-law, you have repeatedly slandered you, which is really a loss of the demeanor of an elder. ”

He shook his head slightly, and the helpless look on his face became more and more obvious, "Chang Qi is Xiang Ming's scholar, and he is already related to you, sister-in-law. You're just pushing it step by step, and you're going too far. ”

"Okay," Liu suddenly spoke, and Xiang, who didn't have time to speak out on the side, had to swallow his words, but when he saw her walk between Xie Ning and Aunt Liang, he comforted him slowly: "I know you have been wronged." What your aunt did in this matter is a little wrong, but she is also concerned about it, so you don't have to put it on you. Last night's incident was left to her to clean up the aftermath. As for this Chang Qi, it will be handled by your Uncle Hou, how about it? ”

Of course, Xie Ning could hear the loosening of Liu's tone, although he was still unwilling, but looking at the tiredness on her face, for a while, it was not easy to speak, thinking that Uncle Hou was fair, and he would definitely not make her aggrieved, so he nodded and responded: "Grandmother, don't worry, Ning'er understands." ”

Liu nodded with a look of relief, and looked at He, "Today, Zicheng and Yueshu will return first." Wait until you come forward to send off their brother and sister. As for Xiang Ming, it will be up to Aunt Liang to negotiate. After all, Fuwei Temple is a small temple on the outskirts of Beijing, and it is not interesting to stay for a long time. Let's pack our bags today and go back to Beijing tomorrow. ”

"Yes," He bowed his head respectfully, and immediately asked for instructions: "It's just that today's battle is really a bit big, and although the monks in the temple and Miss Gu didn't send anyone to come, they must have guessed two points in their hearts." (To be continued.) )

PS: Liu has no intention of upholding justice, and Xie Ning can only take the sword sideways
