Chapter 3: Screaming
The courtyard where Ning Xiaomeng lived in the courtyard of the Ning family mansion was called "Zhulu Courtyard".
By this time the sky was dark, the crescent moon was dim, and the stars in the night sky were still bright. Outside the dew yard, beside a rockery, a small stream flows, and the insects of the summer night rise and fall among the flower beds a little farther away.
A black shadow burst out from behind the rockery, and quietly slipped to the courtyard gate, only to see a small pile of gravel piled on the ground, and a flower was inserted on the stone. He plucked the flower, thinking to himself that the maid would do something. He gently pushed open the hidden courtyard door, stepped on the cobblestone road, and tiptoed towards the beautiful boudoir in front of him. When he came to the door, he knocked lightly twice and called in a low voice, "Little dream? Little Dream Sister? ”
After waiting for a while, no one responded, and then pushed, even this door was hidden, and I knew it in my heart. The girl did as he commanded, and after she had finished her work, she was afraid of taking responsibility, so she had already gone outside to chat with the others. He entered the house, reflexively closed the door, felt the darkness, and went inside.
When he came to the bedside, he opened the tent, and there was already a man lying on the bed. With a lewd laugh, he got into the blanket, touched it in the tent, and found that the sleeping girl was even stripped naked, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, thinking that the maid was really eventful, which made him lose a lot of interest, but he couldn't hold it back, and he took off his clothes, and the whole person pressed up.
Before he started to do things, the door suddenly "snapped", and he was pushed open, which made him startled a lot and subconsciously looked out of the tent. The room was dark, and there was some starlight at the doorway, and he saw a petite figure standing in the doorway, facing his direction, clasping his hands tightly, hooking hard, and taking a deep breath, and then:
"Ah~~"
This shout, with all its strength, tore through the night sky with a sharp scream.
The girl knew if she could get her brother out of the suspicion of murder, and it was all in her own call, so she naturally used all her strength to eat milk, and screamed until the sky fell apart, and the ghosts and gods cried. There is a huge Ning Mansion, although there are only a few masters, but there are many mothers-in-law, old servants, maids, and small servants, many of whom are down-and-out relatives of Ning Mansion or relatives of relatives, who are arranged to do things in Ning Mansion, the summer night is hot, everyone was sleeping late, and suddenly heard the girl's scream that resounded throughout the house, and I didn't know what happened, so I hurried over.
Lanterns and torches poured in one after another, and more and more people in the courtyard, and everyone looked and saw their girl standing at the door, pointing to the dark house: "Ghost! Ghost! ”
Did the girl see a ghost in her house? The timid maid was furious in her heart, but the bold mother-in-law and the old servant thought about where the ghost came from in such a house? Isn't the girl looking away? So he rushed into the girl's boudoir with a lantern and a torch, and suddenly saw a dark shadow swaying in the tent.
If the girl hadn't called out "ghost", they might not have been afraid, the girl said that there was a ghost, but there was something in the house, and for a while they felt terrified.
But one of the fat women, who was more courageous than the others, cried out, "I'm afraid it's not a ghost, it's a thief!" ”
The others thought that even if there were really ghosts, so many people would have run away here, but they were afraid that it was really not a ghost but a thief, and they didn't know which maid slipped into the girl's room to steal things, but was accidentally blocked in the house by the girl.
Thinking of this, they immediately became much more emboldened, and rushed up to uncover the tent.
"Sure enough, it's human!" "Drag him out and beat him!" "This man is actually wearing pants, isn't he a thief?" ……
Realizing that it is not good to want to indecent their girl's lewdness. Immediately, they dealt a heavy hand. The man shouted in a chaotic fist: "Stop, stop......"
Someone finally found out, isn't this the voice of the young master Cheng who is separated? Hurriedly stopped everyone, everyone dispersed, someone took a torch to shine it, and recognized the young man with a blue nose and swollen face, a smooth upper body, and even a trouser that had not been fastened was indeed Ning Yicheng, the son of Master Ji, and looked at each other for a while.
Surrounded by several mothers-in-law, Xiaomeng also moved over tremblingly, and when she saw the young man who was dragged out of her bed, she was stunned: "Cousin Cheng? Y-Why are you here? Although she is called a cousin, it is actually just a title in terms of generation, and her father and Ning Yicheng's father's generation can be counted as cousins. It's just that because when her father died, she and her brother were still young, although they were the main family, the specific affairs of the entire family were generally managed by their cousin Ning Ji, in fact, when his father was still alive, Ning Li most of the time, he also asked Ning Ji to help him take care of various businesses, because in his eyes, Ning Ji, a cousin, "looks honest".
Because he was suffering from incurable edema, Ning Li had already helped his child take care of everything before he died, but he never thought that it was this "honest man" who he thought could be entrusted with the aftermath to hack his child after his death.
The sequential son of the separated family actually appeared in the boudoir of the young lady of the main family, and he was dressed like this?
"There's still someone in the bed!!" Someone shouted.
A lantern shone through, and then, surprised, stunned, confused, and ......
"Aoi'er?!" Xiaomeng's cry once again resounded through the Ning Mansion.
……
Ning Jiang lay motionless on the bed, first his sister's screams came from the direction of Lu Yuan, so sharp, even he was surprised by the energy contained in her petite body, and soon, there was a panic on that side, and it didn't take long for everyone to exclaim in unison, as well as the cry of his sister.
After a while, two old women ran over, pushed his shoulders, and whispered, "Young master? Master? ”
Naturally, he didn't move.
"Oh no, the young master hasn't woken up yet."
"Shall we go and ask the girl and see what to do?"
"The girl is so small, and she can't go out of the house, what idea can she have?"
The two mothers-in-law nagged and went, and behind them, Ning Jiang opened his eyes and looked at the top of the tent boredly.
In the courtyard, Ning Xiaomeng wiped her tears with her sleeve: "You ask me, how do I know what to do?" Hurry up and call someone, the third aunt of Uncle Lu's family, the seventh aunt of Grandpa Duan's family, the hot sister of Uncle Hua's family, and the fourth grandmother of Qing...... They are all good people, so call them in and ask them what to do. ”
Those people were already flustered, and as soon as the young lady said this, the others hurried away. Although some people realize that this is not good, as soon as these seven aunts and eight aunts come, even trivial things will make a big fuss, not to mention that it is a big thing in the first place, but the young lady has been scared to the point of not looking, and she just wants to call all the aunts she knows who can help her with ideas, how dare they stop it?
"I have to report to the official!" An old woman shouted.
"Yes, yes, there is also a report to the official, hurry up and report to the official!" Ning Xiaomeng hurriedly called two people and rushed to the county office overnight to report to the official.
"And Master Ji, I want to inform you too......" one of them whispered.
"What's the use of informing him? It's his son who committed the crime, how did he treat the young master during the day, and still expect him to be fair?! The other said indignantly. The others immediately scolded as well.
At this moment, everyone already knows the intention of Master Ji to seize the status of the head of the family, although some people have been bought by Master Ji in advance, but most of them are actually unable to make benefits, and after Master Ji moves in, he naturally has to use his own people, and their slaves of the master's family, except for a few who are valued by Master Ji, most of the others are to be driven out to do miscellaneous labor, and the actual interests are damaged.
It's just that what happened during the day was really sudden, and there was a county lord who helped Master Ji come forward, and they were just subordinates, so naturally they didn't dare to say anything. Some people even wanted to immediately break off the relationship with the young master and slap in hand with Master Ji in advance, but more people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and naturally no one would believe that Master Ji could uphold justice at this moment.
However, at this time, the matter had spread all over Ning Mansion, and Ning Ji, who had gotten the news, soon hurried over. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw his son kneeling there with his upper body tied up and down, and immediately shouted, "What are you doing? What are you doing? ”
Although he is the master of the split family, over the years, the entire Ning family's property has been managed by Ning Ji, and when he roared, those people below were also a little afraid. Ning Xiaomeng was even more at all, her brother just told her that she would scream when Cousin Cheng went in, and when they saw Kui'er's corpse, they cried, and they didn't say anything about what to do later.
As soon as Ning Ji came, he suppressed the audience, so that everyone did not dare to say anything, and then entered the room with a gloomy face, a guard carried a lantern, and the candlelight in the cage sprinkled on the bed, he looked at the maid on the bed, and was also secretly frightened. Back outside, Ning Yicheng was tied up there, crying: "Dad, I didn't kill it, I really didn't kill it......"
Ning Ji shouted: "Shut up! Looking around, he thought in his heart: "No matter how weak Xiaomeng is, she is still the young lady of the main family at this moment, Cheng'er was found naked in her boudoir, and Miss Meng's maid was still lying on the bed, no matter how she explained, she couldn't explain it clearly." For today's plan, the only way to forcibly suppress this matter is to forcibly suppress this matter, Kwai Er was bought by the Ning family since childhood, no father and no mother, except for the young lady here, the rest are all people from Ning Mansion, as long as they are coerced and enticed, let them not talk outside, and then casually make up a cause of death for Kwai Er, or die of sudden illness, or accidentally fall into the river, as long as there is no bitter master to stand up for her, naturally nothing will happen......"
His eyes swept around, and he said coldly: "Listen, who dares to ...... here"
Suddenly, there was a fire outside, and there were more miscellaneous voices approaching. Ning Ji's face changed: "Who is here?" ”
Those subordinates hurriedly said: "It's probably the third aunt of Master Duan's family!" "This loud voice should be the seventh aunt of Master Lu's family!" "Listen to this voice, the hot girl from Master Hua's family is also here." "Don't look at it, the one who is scolding while walking here must be Grandma Qingsi." "And this ......"
"Who called them here?" Ning Ji was furious, "Who told you to call them?" ”
The servants quietly looked at their young lady, but the girl was so frightened that she cowered there and cried.
However, Ning Ji didn't have time to care about who called these seven aunts and eight aunts, so he just sighed...... It's over, it's over! As soon as these seven aunts and eight aunts come, even trivial things will make a big fuss, not to mention that it is originally a big thing......
