Sister Zhang Qiao didn't know much about the situation in the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion, all because when her husband Li Xianglang went to the area where the officials and nobles lived to sell needle thread brain fat powder jewelry, she heard the little girls and wives who came to patronize talk about it, and she got a few words.

  However, when she visited the Xie family's mansion in Pearl Bridge before the Lantern Festival, she didn't tell all the news she heard. She didn't go to the Xie family to chew her tongue, but she knew that there was a second grandmother in Ning Guohou's mansion, and her mother's brother almost harmed the Xie family.

  Now that Shemulin asked more about the inside story, she told all the information she knew.

  In fact, there is nothing special, although the rules of the Marquis Mansion of Ning Guo are not very similar, but the girls and mothers-in-law are not completely open-mouthed, and they can say anything. There was also some information in it, which was revealed by the subordinates of the neighbors of the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion. What these people said may not be all true, and it may be conjecture or fabrication, but it also generally reveals what kind of conflict has occurred between Ning Guohou and his wife.

  Ning Guohou didn't know what the reason was, and found that the niece and nephew of Lord Zuo of Dali Temple was a good girl, although the girl's biological father was just a small imperial history, but the girl was very well educated, and the Zuo family was also upright, so he intended to propose to this Miss Zuo for the eldest grandson Cheng Du.

  Lord Zuo of Dali Temple does not approve of this family business, the reason is not that Cheng Du is not good, but that he feels that the Marquis Mansion of Ning Guo is too complicated and a little messy, and he is worried that his nephew will suffer after marrying. However, his wife and Zuo Yushi agreed with this family affair and were willing to discuss it with Ning Guohou.

  When the two families were still discussing their relationship, Cheng Du was suddenly calculated, and a woman who sang alone with him in the private room of the restaurant seemed to frame him for the crime of being a good family. If she really succeeded in framing her, Ning Guohou and the Zuo brothers, who also met in the restaurant for the sake of discussing relatives, would collide. With the temper of Lord Zuo of Dali Temple, he will definitely not agree to the family affair again.

  At that time, Cheng Du didn't know whether he was drugged or drunk, anyway, there were people who said both theories, and he was almost at the mercy of the singer, but he relied on the only remaining sobriety, opened the window and jumped into the pool outside the window, alarming the other diners around. He also called for help a few times, and soon someone rescued him from the pool. Seeing his pitiful appearance, who else would believe that the singer in the private room was being coerced and persecuted by him? She fled in disgrace.

  Ning Guohou and the Zuo brothers quickly rushed over to change Cheng Du's clothes, keep him warm, and ask the doctor to grab medicine. And the strangeness of the whole thing, they also quickly learned from the mouths of the witnesses around them. Thinking of the person who suggested that they meet at this location, as well as Ning Guohou's subordinates, who caught the henchman of Mrs. Ning Guohou who acted sneakily to meet with the singer in the restaurant, it is not difficult for them to come to a conclusion, that is, the whole thing may have been made by Mrs. Ning Guohou, and she wanted to deliberately frame Cheng Du in order to destroy his relationship with the Zuo family.

  Lord Zuo of Dali Temple once again put forward the reason for opposing marriage, or that sentence, Ning Guohou's Mansion is too chaotic, his niece and daughter are married, and she is such a vicious and treacherous mother-in-law, can she still have a good life?

  Although Zuo Yushi was very optimistic about Cheng Du, he also hesitated a little after witnessing this farce. The matter of discussing relatives was temporarily postponed on the grounds that Cheng Du fell into the water and fell ill. As for whether to discuss it or not, I'm afraid that even the parties concerned have not yet made up their minds.

  Cheng Du fell into the water in the cold weather, so he naturally had to get sick. Ning Guohou politely sent away the Zuo brothers, and then turned around to comfort the innocent eldest grandson, then took him home full of anger, asked the imperial doctor to catch the medicine, and then had a big quarrel with Mrs. Ning Guohou. His entourage caught her roommate, and he decided that his stepwife was the culprit. No matter how Mrs. Ning Guohou defended her innocence, it was her own opinion, and he refused to believe it. He ordered the companion to be knocked half to death, threw it directly out of the door, ordered the housekeeper to sell the companion family cheaply, and did not allow anyone to intercede, and then scolded his stepwife before running to meet the imperial doctor who came to the door.

  At that time, Mrs. Ning Guohou was entertaining several ladies of the noble family, and Ning Guohou was angry that he only saw his stepwife, and he didn't notice whether there were outsiders, so he let those ladies watch the audience. They comforted Mrs. Ning Guohou casually, and calmly said goodbye and left, but all kinds of rumors inevitably spread afterwards. Mrs. Ning Guohou was ashamed and annoyed, and had to pretend to be sick to avoid the entire New Year's social contacts.

  Sister Zhang Qiao said to Xie Mulin: "That's how things are. To tell the truth, that Mrs. Ning Guohou seems to be a stepfamily, and the son she gave birth to is now robbing the eldest brother of the throne, and marrying a daughter-in-law is also from the Wang family's family that does not cultivate morality, and the granddaughter she raised also caused the second girl to fall into the water, which is really bad for the family. That young master Cheng Du, I heard that his character is okay, and he is also handsome, he is a good offspring, but it's a pity that he has such a family, even if he is protected by his grandfather, life will not be easy.

  "What a good official Lord Zuo is! If it weren't for him, our master's grievances would not have been able to be revealed. After he tried the whole case, he naturally knew who the Wang family and the Cheng family were, and where was he willing to marry his niece and nephew to suffer? When will that Zuo Yushi understand his brother's hard work. Young Master Cheng Du may be a good son, but he has never broken up, so it is not worth it to make his good girl suffer for him! ”

  Sister Zhang Qiao expressed her opinion, and Xie Mulin was quite impressed. Cheng Du is innocent, but they are still suppressed by the stepfamily, marrying a more innocent girl and entering the door, isn't it to suffer with them? If they could go out of the house, it would be different. But then again, are Cheng Du's father and son willing to split up? They still have to count on the protection of the Marquis of Ning, and they may still have the idea of snatching back the position of the prince. When you really split up, you give up everything.

  Judging from Xie Yingrong's attitude and performance, Xie Mulin deduced that Cheng Du probably mixed well in his previous life. At that time, Mrs. Ning Guohou and the Cheng family's second room could no longer restrain him, right? But that was at least a few years later. Whether he can keep the family business of the Zuo family depends on his ability.

  Xie Mulin chatted with Sister Zhang Qiao for a while, heard some gossip rumors from other families from her, and caught a glimpse of Mrs. Li settling her two grandsons out of the corner of her eye, and she was excited to come over to participate in the chat, describing her deep friendship with Mrs. Xie. Xie Mulin decisively got up and took his leave. By this time the sun was already in the west, and it was not too early, and she had to go home before dark.

  Sister Zhang Qiao sent Xie Mulin's carriage all the way to the street, and watched them leave from a distance before turning around. And Xie Mulin was in the carriage, and he also sorted out and sorted out several important information he had collected, thinking about what news should be told to the eldest sister Xie Yinghui for a while, and what could be purposefully revealed to Aunt Dajin, so that she could restrain Xie Yingrong.

  When he returned to the Xie family's mansion in Pearl Bridge, as soon as Xie Mulin entered the gate, he noticed that the atmosphere at home was a little unusual.

  She immediately asked Cai Laotian's family: "Aunt Cai, when I went out today, did something happen at home?" ”

  Cai Laotian's expression was serious, and he lowered his voice and said, "Second Miss, a little girl in the eldest lady's courtyard escaped. ”

  Xie Mulin frowned: "What? ”

  "What's important is ......" Cai Laotian's family paused, "That little girl ran errands and bought things for the eldest lady, but she was ordered by the third girl to go to the Bian family to spread the word." But after she left Bian's house, she turned around and ran into Pingnanbo's mansion and never came out again. If it weren't for someone reporting to the eldest lady, we wouldn't know anything! ”
