Chapter 9: Into the Snake Cave
Ling Yingxi glanced at Prime Minister Ling lightly, and was in the number of courtesies, blessed with a blessed body.
"My sister's words are wrong, my sister is just doing official business and maintaining the rules of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Ling Yingxi's eyes were innocent.
Ling Yanglu was stunned, on weekdays, she pretended to be pitiful, stabbed in the back with the appearance of an eldest sister, and Ling Yingxi, a girl, could only swallow her anger and endure it silently.
Now that I've been soaking in the lake for a while, I've bolded myself and dared to talk back.
Okay, don't you have to be a little sheep, you have to be a bird?
It seems that Ling Yingxi still doesn't know what a noble phoenix is and what a humble earthworm is, since this is the case, she will teach Ling Yingxi a good lesson!
A trace of yin flickered in Ling Yanglu's eyes, and then it was covered with mist, sobbing lowly, so pitiful. This appearance is as if Ling Yingxi bullied her.
Ling Yingxi sneered in her heart, what she is best at as a good sister is to pretend to be pitiful with tears, reversing right and wrong, and her tone is delicate, which is really pitiful.
Ling Yanglu bit his lower lip with an aggrieved face, hid behind Ling Chengxiang, and tightly grasped Ling Chengxiang's sleeve with his hand, trembling like a frightened kitten.
"Sister, how can you say that, mother-in-law......" Ling Yanglu's voice choked, crying pear blossoms with rain.
Ling Chengxiang frowned, looked at Ling Yingxi dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Ling Yingxi! Yanglu is your sister, what do you mean by talking to her like this?!"
Ling Yingxi was yelled at by Ling Cheng, and her face was afraid.
The old lady was distressed when she saw Ling Yingxi's submissive appearance, and she looked at Ling Chengxiang dissatisfied, "What do you mean by this? Yanglu is your daughter, not Xixi?!"
The old lady protected Ling Yingxi behind her and reprimanded Prime Minister Ling: "You father, you are too partial. ”
Ling Chengxiang moved his lips, after all, he didn't say anything that the other party was his biological mother, no matter how cold-blooded he was, he would not be disrespectful to his mother.
He glanced at Ling Yingxi fiercely, and the warning in his eyes was self-evident.
The corners of Ling Yingxi's mouth hooked a shallow arc, her good father blamed her for making her grandmother angry? I didn't expect her father to have a conscience.
Ling Yanglu's hand holding the silk handkerchief tightened, it was her again! Every time the old lady was guarding, if it weren't for her, Ling Yingxi, a little cheap hoof, would have died no less than ten times.
With the old lady here, her plan will definitely be disrupted by the old lady, and it is even more impossible for Ling Yingxi to be at her mercy, so ......
Ling Yang was startled, and immediately wiped his tears with a silk handkerchief to cover up Fang Cai's rudeness.
Although she was a child of a concubine, the old lady never treated her badly, and the bowl of water was extremely flat.
"It's all Yang Lu is not good, if it weren't for Yang Lu wanting to offer a heart to the old lady's birthday gift, my mother wouldn't have gone to great lengths to help Yang Lu find the gold thread, let alone be threatened by the housekeeper......"
Ling Yanglu knelt down, his knees slammed into the floor, and the sound made people couldn't help but shake their knees.
Ling Yingxi glanced at Ling Yanglu's knees, Ling Yanglu really spent a lot of money in order to help the second lady clear her name.
"Is that so?" said the old lady, looking a little moved.
Golden silkworms are hard to find, and gold silk is even more valuable and precious to find.
If you want to make clothes out of gold wire, if there is no back door, I am afraid that it will take two or three years to gather just one piece.
Ling Yanglu's words made her intentions clear, and the second gave an explanation for what the second lady did.
Ling Yanglu wiped away her tears and nodded, "If the old lady doesn't believe it, Yanglu can let someone else take it, and you can see it at a glance." ”
The second lady frowned, and immediately understood what Ling Yanglu meant, and she did the ultimate in superficial kung fu, she said to Ling Yanglu with pity and helplessness, "Yanglu!"
Ling Yanglu bit her lower lip, her expression was desolate, but she was extremely knowledgeable and demeanor, "I wanted to surprise the old lady, but my mother was wronged like this, and my daughter couldn't watch my mother be punished." ”
The implication is that someone deliberately designed to discredit the second lady, and it just rightly shows that Ling Yanglu takes the old lady to heart and lives off a respectful and filial lady.
Seeing his beloved daughter crying pear blossoms with rain, Prime Minister Ling Cheng was suddenly distressed.
"Mother, the matter of the second lady has been explained, and the punishment must be punished, this wronged ......"
The old lady's eyes narrowed slightly, how could she not hear Ling Yanglu's voice-over?
I have to say that Ling Yanglu has inherited the second lady's scheming very well, and everything she says and does is beneficial to herself.
Ling Yanglu's appearance is bright and charming, she is a gaudy type, there is no clean and gentle that a woman should have, she is doing some yin things all the time.
And Ling Yingxi has a unique temperament, which is Lan Zhihui's heart, smart and beautiful, but also noble and refined, confident and elegant.
In Ling Yingxi's body, the old lady could even see her prime more than forty years ago.
Although the old lady seems to love these two granddaughters the same, these two people are at two different extremes in terms of personality and temperament.
How could she achieve a balance between the two, in the final analysis, the old lady was still towards Ling Yingxi.
Today's matter, the old lady is a little difficult, both sides have witnesses, and the only one who can make a good judgment is the housekeeper's side.
Ling Yingxi smiled far-fetched, but her eyes were full of self-blame, "Daddy and sister are right, it is related to the face of the two families, Yingxi did not think it through, played with a child's temper, and did not know the severity." ”
In a word, hinting at the old lady a lot of things.
The old lady couldn't help but feel distressed, reached out and patted the back of Ling Yingxi's hand lightly to show comfort, and made a final conclusion.
"Zhang Yan was deeply guilty, and he was punished with fifty rods and imprisoned in the snake cave. As the mother of a family, she first took silver taels privately, and then disciplined her subordinates improperly, took back her power, and thought about it behind closed doors for three months. ”
The old lady's order surprised everyone, and many people secretly applauded.
I don't know how many poisonous snakes there are in the snake cave, where is hell on earth, and being locked in it is a dead end.
What's more, the snake cave has not been fed for a long time, but I am afraid that once I enter, it will be eaten by thousands of snakes, and in the end, there will not be even a bone left.
The second lady was stripped of her power again, undoubtedly slapping the Liu family in the face, and I am afraid that there will be some trouble.
Hearing the old lady's words, a trace of yin fowl flashed in the eyes of the second lady, and her slender self pierced into the flesh and skin.
She covered the sky with one hand in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the old lady did nothing more than to give her a warning and extinguish her momentum. How else does this make her deal with herself?
The old lady asked Prime Minister Ling to stay and send the others away.
When the second lady left, she glanced at Ling Yingxi, who was submissive, and her eyes were full of temptation.
The one who has benefited the most in this matter is probably Ling Yingxi.
Ling Yingxi was timid and cowardly, and she was cautious when she said a word in the middle, but judging from the whole game, it was not difficult to see that Ling Yingxi was guiding everyone in this game.
The weakness between Ling Yingxi's eyebrows didn't seem to be pretending, not to mention, her last sentence was obviously a plea for them.
Is this unintentional? or is it design?
......
Xiying Xuan is in the west, and the route is not the same as that of the second lady, so they avoid encountering each other.
Ling Yingxi walked casually on the stone road, lowering her eyes slightly, her long and thick eyelashes covering the emotions in her eyes, but adding a little coldness.
Fang Cai's self-reproachful words seem simple, but they actually hide a mystery.
One played her timidity to the fullest, and the second reminded the old lady not to punish the second lady severely, otherwise it would embarrass the two families.
In fact, she just didn't want the old lady to be involved too much and cause the world to be dissatisfied and criticized.
Xuan'er followed behind Ling Yingxi, her eyes shining brightly, and she couldn't hide her excitement.
