Chapter 16: Grounding

"Mother!" Chu Lianxin pulled Ling Xiaoniang coquettishly and said, "I obviously didn't say anything, and my mother can testify for me." ”

Ling touched Chu Lianxin's head, looked at Chu Zining, and said, "Ning'er, you must have heard it wrong, your sister didn't say anything." She paused, and added, "Ning'er, you are the eldest sister, don't make up something out of thin air." ”

"Fabricated out of thin air? Little lady, why do you say that I made it up out of thin air? Chu Zining's face slowed down and asked hesitantly.

Ling Shi Zhengse said: "You said that your heart is gossiping about you behind your back, but this is just your words, and there is no real evidence, and no one can prove it." Isn't this just a fabrication? ”

"Xiao Niang has some truth, it turns out that this is fabricated out of thin air." Chu Zining nodded slowly and echoed Ling's words.

This made Ling despise her a little in his heart, and then said, "Isn't it? You talk nonsense just to make yourself happy for a while, but you embarrass others. Today, thanks to me, I am by Xin'er's side and can testify for her. Otherwise, it won't be for nothing that you will be wronged. ”

Ling Shi sighed and said earnestly: "Ning'er, you and Xin'er are both sisters, why bother killing each other. ”

"Then according to Xiaoniang's meaning, how should we deal with the 'false accusation' just now?"

The Ling clan was secretly happy in his heart, this Chu Zining had become a fool when he went out, and he was sent to the door to be beaten, but he still maintained a serious appearance on the surface.

"I'm afraid that I will have to deal with it according to the family rules, and I will be punished with 20 boards, grounded for half a year, and copy Buddhist scriptures every day." The Ling clan pretended to look at Chu Zining with pity, "Ning'er, don't blame the little lady for being ruthless, the little lady is all for your good." ”

Chu Zining smiled, "Xiao Niang is so right, she should be so heavily blamed for framing out of thin air!" ”

Before Ling could say the next sentence, he immediately said, "Xiao Niang and my sister framed me for eloping with someone out of thin air, the evidence is conclusive, now please ask Xiao Niang and my sister to take the punishment together!" ”

"What!" Ling Shi was taken aback, only then did he realize that he was being led by Chu Zining step by step.

Chu Zining smiled coldly, "The little lady coaxed me to go to the top of the Qingxiu Mountain to offer incense, but the top of the mountain is a wasteland at all, let alone a temple, there is not even a figure!" ”

Chu Lianxin had always had no idea, and when he heard that Chu Zining had actually seen through the trap set by his mother and himself, he could only look at the Ling family.

But at this time, the Ling clan was also too busy to take care of himself, and the silk in his hand was twisted around and around, and he could only return stiffly, "Is it?" I heard that the women of Kyoto all go to this mountain to worship the Buddha, and this is the first time for the little lady to go..."

"What is the explanation for framing me for eloping with someone else?"

"Xu is the next person has lost his eyes..."Ling's voice became smaller and smaller.

"Inferior? The tired little lady summoned this person, and Ning'er confronted him face to face! ”

Ling lowered his head, not daring to look at Chu Zining, and a thin layer of sweat slowly appeared on his forehead.

The old lady nodded and said, "Ling, you came to my courtyard in a hurry last night and said something that Ning Er didn't like, but now it seems that it was all made up by you!" Ning'er didn't return all night to save His Royal Highness, not to elope with others as you said. This sin of false accusation is undoubted! ”

Chu Jinshan's complexion changed slightly, and after thinking about it carefully, he also found that something was wrong.

But if you really want to punish Ling Xiaoniang and Chu Lianxin, you feel very unbearable.

"The Ling family and Ning Er are weak and can't stand the twenty boards, so why don't you punish them for being grounded for half a year and reflect on it." Chu Jinshan looked at the old lady and asked, "Mother is still strong-hearted, they copy Buddhist scriptures every day, and they will definitely be able to repent and dare not commit it again." ”
