When Xia Chuanyuan heard this, he first turned his head to look at Xie Shi, then turned his head to look at Xia Mengning, and asked, "Ning'er, what is the matter?" ”

Xia Mengning looked at Xia Chuanyuan, turned her head to look at Xie Shi, and said anxiously: "Grandmother, Ning'er didn't mean that, why did you have to force Ning'er to say it, do you think that Ning'er is a person who treats her sisters like that?" ”

As he spoke, he already showed a panicked look on his face, and looked at Xie Shi with blank eyes, as if he hoped that Xie Shi would stop mentioning this matter.

Xia Mengran saw Xia Mengning's posture, and couldn't help but feel refreshed, the first time she saw Xia Mengning was also at a loss, at this time her father was here, if her father knew that Xia Mengning used the power of the housekeeper to treat other people in the mansion, she could show it more vividly, and when her father was angry, he would definitely take away Xia Mengning's housekeeper power.

Thinking of this, Xia Mengran hurriedly squeezed out two tears, looked at Xie Shi and said, "Grandmother, don't force the third sister, the third sister didn't mean it, after all, ...... After all, everyone likes this beautiful satin, and besides, the third sister is now a concubine, and Ran'er ...... Not worthy ......"

Xie Shi was furious, looked at Xia Mengning's face, and knew that he was now in control of the victory, so he said with some sadness: "Ning'er, you are still quibbling in front of the facts, since you don't say it, then I will say it, why are you wearing a precious Hehe brocade satin, but Ran'er, you are wearing a streamer satin from a few years ago?" ”

Xia Chuanyuan listened, turned his head to look at Xia Mengning, carefully looked at the clothes on Xia Mengning's body, and then looked at Xia Mengran, his brows furrowed, "Ning'er......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xia Mengning suddenly stand up suddenly, looked straight at Xie Shi who was sitting at the top, and said, "Daddy doesn't have to ask his daughter, if you want to know the truth of the matter, ask the housekeeper to bring all the accounts since her daughter took charge of the family, and show it to her father and grandmother." ”

Jiu'er was already waiting aside, and when she heard Xia Mengning say this, she hurriedly turned her head and ran out, and after a while, she saw Li Yan walking in with the account in her hand, Xia Chuanyuan said, "Take it and I'll take a look." ”

Seeing that Xia Mengning really took the account, Xie and Xia Mengran were a little surprised, but thinking of Xia Mengning's panicked expression just now, Xie still calmed down and stared at Xia Chuanyuan's expression carefully.

Xia Chuanyuan took the account book and looked at it carefully, the accounts on it were clear at a glance, every expenditure was written very clearly, Xia Chuanyuan read it again, all of them were normal expenditures, and when he turned to the end, Xia Chuanyuan saw that the total expenditure of this month was much less than that of the previous few months, Xie Shi saw Xia Chuanyuan frowning, thinking that he had found something wrong, so he hurriedly said: "How?" ”

Xia Chuanyuan closed the account book, put it aside and said, "There is nothing wrong, but it has saved a lot of silver taels compared to the previous months." ”

When Xie Shi heard this, he said in disbelief: "Really? ”

Before Xia Chuanyuan could speak, Xia Mengning stood up and walked to the middle, and said, "Daddy and grandmother, please Rong Ning'er say a few words." ”

Saying that, Xia Mengning bit her lip, and her eyes were stained with a thin layer of mist, "Ning Er knows that she has no talent and no virtue, and she shouldn't be in charge of family affairs, but her father trusts her daughter, so that her daughter can help her mother from the side, and her daughter is very grateful for her father's trust. ”

After stating this, Xia Mengning turned her head again, looked at Xia Chuanyuan on the side, sighed lightly, and there seemed to be an indissoluble grievance between her eyebrows, "But today my daughter came here to ask her grandmother for peace, but she was suspected by her grandmother and fifth sister, her daughter is a junior, she can't compete with her grandmother, the fifth sister is a junior, if the daughter fights with reason, she will also be accused of treating her sister harshly, and her daughter is patient in every way, but grandmother and fifth sister want to force her daughter to a desperate situation, and her daughter is in ...... It's ......."

Saying that, Xia Mengning seemed to be unable to bear it, lowered her head to wipe her tears, raised her head again in a blink of an eye, looked at Xie Shi and Xia Chuanyuan and said: "Grandmother said that Ning'er's clothes are made of Hehe brocade, which is much better than that of the fifth sister, Steward Li, you can take a look at the clothes of me and the fifth sister, how is it?" ”

Li Yan nodded, stepped forward to take a look, turned around and said, "Back to the master, what Miss Fifth is wearing is indeed the best clothing in the house, streamer satin, and this clothing was only sent to Miss Fifth and Aunt Wei's room because of its preciousness." ”

Xia Mengran was stunned for a moment, and said in a blink of an eye: "You are talking nonsense, what the third sister is wearing is obviously a brocade satin, how can you say that this is the most precious satin in the house?" Could it be that the third sister is in charge, and Steward Li doesn't dare to tell the truth? ”

When Li Yan heard this, he immediately straightened up and said: "Fifth Miss has no evidence, don't just splash dirty water on the slave, the slave has been a housekeeper in the house for so many years, and his innocence is obvious to all." ”

Xia Chuanyuan glanced at Xia Mengran, frowned, and said, "Steward Li, the clothes on the third young lady?" ”

Li Yan hurriedly hugged his fists at Xia Chuanyuan and said: "Back to the master, the satin on the third lady's body, the slave doesn't know what it is, but the records in the account room are in your hands, you can see for yourself, our house has never bought such a precious brocade satin." ”

As soon as Xie Shi heard this, his eyes rolled, he felt a little abnormal, and was about to speak, when he heard a 'plop', Jiu'er beside Xia Mengning knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Old man, old lady, things are not like this." ”

Jiu'er said, Xia Mengning raised her phoenix eyes slightly, looked at Xie Shi who was sitting on it, the contempt and smugness in her eyes flashed, you have come to this point, can you still let you go?

Xia Chuanyuan became more and more puzzled, and said, "What the hell is going on, tell ...... quickly"

Jiu'er hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Back to the master, this material was sent by the prince, and it was prepared for the third miss to go to the palace to enjoy the fireworks today...... Miss Fifth and Miss Three are the same age, and they will definitely like to watch fireworks, but this is the emperor's dictation, so Miss Three can't change it, so she let the slave guard and not go out to talk nonsense, and when she went out today, she deliberately wore an ordinary jacket, just to look plain, don't let Miss Five notice, I'm afraid that Miss Five will be sad......"

After listening to Jiu'er, everyone looked at Xia Mengning, only to see that Xia Mengning was wearing an ordinary jacket and combing her usual hair bun.

Look at Xia Mengran again, although the streamer satin is not as expensive as the brocade satin, but it is also unaffordable for ordinary large families, and then look at Xia Mengran's head, a complete set of gold-inlaid heads, the whole person is luxurious and brilliant, compared with Xia Mengning, it is a bit gaudy.

Xia Chuanyuan looked at it and slapped the table violently, "Okay, thanks to Ning'er so hard, you actually doubt her like this, I don't know what to do!" ”

Xia Mengran was taken aback, I don't know how the situation of winning was like this, Xia Mengning stood there and cried to herself, seeing Xia Mengran's face in disbelief, she secretly threw a smug look over, touched Xia Mengning's eyes, and then linked the cause and effect, Xia Mengran knew that she was actually put by Xia Mengning, from the beginning, Xia Mengning was deliberate.

As soon as he thought of this, Xia Mengran's whole person became angry, looking at Xia Chuanyuan's expression, he knew that his status in his father's heart had become worse and worse, and all this was because of Xia Mengning!

Xia Mengran was overwhelmed by anger, stood up without hesitation, looked at Xia Chuanyuan and said: "How can Daddy say this about me, all this was done by the third sister, she deliberately dressed so ordinary, forcing me to expose her, all this was done by the third sister, Daddy, you have to believe your daughter......"

Xia Chuanyuan looked at Xia Mengran, who was crying, and said loudly: "Aren't you stunned, are you saying that Ning'er deliberately let you misunderstand her, and then clarify yourself?" Ning'er's hard work, how did it become a wolf's heart and dog lungs in your mouth? Ning'er takes care of your face, it was you who had a ghost in your heart, so you insulted Ning'er, Ning'er is your sister, does the tone of your voice have a trace of respect? ”

Xia Mengran shook his head, knelt on the ground and said, "Daddy, you have to believe your daughter......"

Xia Chuanyuan waved his hand annoyedly, "Don't be obsessed, if this is the case again, go to the ancestral hall and kneel, when you reflect on it, when you come out again." ”

Xia Mengran looked at Xia Chuanyuan in disbelief, what? I heard it right, Daddy actually let himself go to the ancestral hall to kneel, Daddy has never punished himself, but today he actually punished himself for Xia Mengning?

Xia Chuanyuan has a gentle temperament, he is not an irritable lord, he used to love these daughters, of course, that is without involving interests and futures, otherwise, Xia Mengning would not have been married hastily in the previous life.

It's just that Xia Mengran still thinks that Xia Chuanyuan really loves herself, after all, Xia Mengran has always been well-behaved and docile in the past, although she is not as favored by Xia Chuanyuan as Xia Mengxi and Xia Mengyou, but every time Xia Chuanyuan has something good, she has never lost her share, and now that she has fallen from heaven to hell, how can Xia Mengran bear this sense of disparity?

Thinking of this, Xia Mengran felt more and more aggrieved, and couldn't help crying loudly: "Daddy, in the final analysis, it's because the daughter is a concubine, and the third sister is now a concubine, and she has a marriage contract with the son, so the father doesn't want to believe his daughter...... Everything is left to the third sister to do, and everything good is left to the third sister......"

When Xia Chuanyuan heard this, he couldn't help frowning, "Bold, you actually used this tone to talk to me, is it going to be the opposite?" ”
