Ripple Pavilion.

A maidservant broke in in a panic and disturbed the cleanliness of the room.

"Ling Xiaoniang is not good, the eldest lady actually woke up! The mourning hall has been in an uproar, and even the old lady with the closed door to worship the Buddha has learned that she is rushing to the mourning hall, and the slaves and maids are rushing to report the news. ”

The beautiful face in the diamond flower mirror gradually became distorted, and Ling Shi was so angry that he dropped the snail Dai in his hand, "How does Mama Xiang take care of it, she can't even do this kind of thing!" ”

The maidservant said bluntly, "It's true that the eldest lady knows martial arts, and Mama Xiang can't resist it." ”

Ling Shi hurriedly got up and walked towards the mourning hall, originally wanting to take advantage of the fact that the old man was not at home and the old lady was worshipping the Buddha again, ignoring the things outside the window, and taking the opportunity to attack Chu Zining, who had not gained a firm foothold.

It can be seen that the development of the situation is completely out of control.

Outside the mourning hall, the old lady had already arrived one step ahead of the Ling clan, and was directing her subordinates to dismantle the obscure mourning hall, Chu Zining stood aside with her eyes down.

When Mama Xiang saw Ling Xiaoniang coming, she was like a drowning person catching duckweed, crawling to her feet with her hands and feet, clutching her sleeves tightly, her face full of despair, "Little Niang, please, say a good word to the old lady, save me!" ”

Ling Xiaoniang smiled reluctantly, and finally broke Mama Xiang's hand away and distanced herself, "The concubine has seen her mother, and it is the fault of the concubine that she disturbed her mother's worship of the Buddha." ”

The old lady Hu glared at Ling Xiaoniang complainingly, and scolded her with a sharp scolding in her words, "This is what you did?" What kind of system has it become! ”

"Why did my mother say this, she really wronged her concubine." Ling said aggrievedly, rolled his eyes, and explained to the old lady.

"Ning'er, she was infected with a strange disease, and she left in two days, Lang Zhong was also diagnosed, and she was unable to return to the sky, you have been worshiping the Buddha for 7749 days, and you will be able to complete your merits in two days, and the concubine really doesn't want to tell her mother the bad news."

The old lady's face was covered with a dark cloud, and she was gloomy.

Chu Zining opened her mouth coolly, with a sneer, "The time that the little lady calculated was just a coincidence, my father was not at home, and my grandmother didn't know, so she quietly buried the daughter of the Prime Minister's house." ”

Ling's face changed slightly, her eyes narrowed, she was a sharp-toothed master, "I have the right to be a steward, why can't I bury you, is it possible to stop the coffin at home?" ”

"I'm a concubine, you're a concubine, and you're not qualified for that." Chu Zining said sharply.

She is the daughter of a dignified minister, where can she be a little lady in charge.

"Ning'er is right, the old body of the Buddha is just a healthy family, the Chu family has a smooth career, and the chickens and dogs are jumping, am I still sitting in the courtyard?"

Sure enough, as Chu Zining expected, in the memory of her previous life, her grandmother Hu was from a high-ranking family, abiding by rules and etiquette, and deeply respecting the distinction between concubines and concubines, and she looked down on Ling Xiaoniang's concubine style the most.

However, what is respected in the prime minister's house is to spoil concubines and kill wives, and most of her is turning a blind eye, but there is no reason for grandmother to ignore this mess.

"Mother's words are serious, Ning'er can come back from the dead, she is a blessed person blessed by the gods, both feet have stepped into the ghost door and closed, but the Lord of Yama refused to accept it, and let it back, Xu is grandmother who burns incense and worships the Buddha every day, so that Ning'er can be blessed with such a child."

Ling Xiaoniang resurrected from the dead, and the absurd theory of resurrecting the soul, leaving aside the deliberate murder, that is, her grandmother believed in gods and Buddhas, and probably felt that she could believe it.

"If I wake up later, it will not be a good story of resurrection, but a living burial in a coffin, and the little lady said that I am terminally ill? Maybe it's a fallacy, so it's better to call Lang Zhong, who treated me before, and ask what the disease is. ”

"No." Without waiting for the Ling family to speak, the old lady first refused, "If it spreads, where will the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion go." ”

Ling smiled at Chu Zining provocatively, the old lady attaches the most importance to her reputation, how could she leak the news, do you really think that the old lady will support her.

Mama Ping, the nurse who had been standing behind the eldest lady, suddenly spoke, and she knelt on the ground with a thud.

"I also begged the old lady to be the master, and when Mama Xiang saw that the eldest lady was alive, she had to let people beat her to death with a stick, I don't know whose intention was given, a slave and maid had the audacity to kill the master."

Mama Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground and was named, heard Mama Ping's words, she trembled, Ling glanced at Mama Xiang, and secretly scolded for nothing.

"This cheap slave usually steals petty and forgets it, and I still remember the funeral objects of the eldest lady, I originally thought that she was a concubine's dowry slave, but I didn't expect that I would repeatedly condone it to the point where I can't live with Ning'er."

Ling pinched the handkerchief, pretended to shed two tears, and found a reason to kill for money.

Seeing that Ling Xiaoniang wanted to kick herself out to take the blame, Mama Xiang was completely panicked, and shouted incoherently, "No, old lady, I don't have ......"

The rest of the words were not waited for Mama Xiang to finish speaking, and the maid brought by Ling Xiaoniang was tied up with a rag to gag her mouth, and she couldn't make any sound except whining.

"The concubine has no way to discipline the slave, it is the sin of the concubine, so she will be punished for breaking her hands and feet, and throwing her out of the gate of Kyoto to set an example, so I don't know if Ning'er is satisfied?"

Now, in order to clear her relationship in front of the old lady, Ling Xiaoniang had to do this.

A smile appeared at the corner of Chu Zining's mouth, "Because of Ning'er, Ning'er is guilty of damaging Xiaoniang's most important henchman, so it's better for me to personally help Xiaoniang choose some capable tops to ensure that Xiaoniang is satisfied." ”

Ling Xiao's motherly nose was crooked, and she was so choked that she couldn't speak.

"The Ling family can't even manage the slaves and maids, let alone a huge inner house, so they will be punished for thinking about it behind closed doors, copying the house rules by hand a hundred times, and meditating well, as for those family members, they are all sold to do coolies."

The old lady thought about calming things down, after all, family ugliness should not be publicized, so that's it, Ling Xiaoniang and Chu Zining said yes.

After the old lady left, Ling Xiaoniang took off her weak appearance, glanced at Chu Zining coldly, and pinched her sour tone, "Spare your life, after all, it is not easy to come by." ”

Chu Zining smiled, "Each other, Xiao Niang may not be able to find a suitable scapegoat next time." ”

Ling was so angry that he brushed his sleeves and left.

The nurse's worries were still unabated, she couldn't help but speak, hugging for the eldest lady, "Although the old lady punished Ling Xiaoniang, it was just a grounding, and the eldest lady almost died." ”

"Grandmother and I are not close, it is not easy to be willing to come forward to uphold justice, Ling Xiaoniang was forced by me to cut off her arm, and she didn't get any benefits."

Chu Zining didn't think about it, now that Ling Xiaoniang is disposed of, her deep foundation in the Prime Minister's Mansion is not something that can be shaken overnight, and the days to come will be long.

Mama Ping looked at Chu Zining in a daze, and felt a hint of strangeness, "Miss, it seems to be different from before." ”

Yes, in the past, she had a tolerant temperament everywhere, and she held it in her heart when she was wronged, always thinking about calming things down, since she could live again, she was only for revenge!

"Nurse, don't worry, no matter how I change, it's for us to live well."

This time, Chu Zining will definitely do her best to protect everyone who is good to her.
