Xia Chuanyuan glared at the Fang clan, but the Xie clan spoke: "In order not to make people suspicious, let's make this matter clear, so that the innocent person can be saved from being wronged." ”

As soon as he heard this, the Fang clan stood aside as if he had gained power and asked, "You said that the third young lady went to Jingming Temple to meet you on the day she went to Jingming Temple, who saw it?" ”

Cheng Gu replied: "No one saw it, the third lady went to the backyard to meet the villain after worshipping in front of the Buddha that day, how can others see such things." ”

Fang's face was overjoyed, but he didn't show it, he just asked again: "Ning'er, is this true?" Xia Meng condensed his body, shook his head and said: "Ning'er did go to the backyard of Jingming Temple that day, but she only went to ask Master Yun Cheng for hand-copied Buddhist scriptures, and she has never seen this person. ”

Cheng Gu hurriedly spoke, "Why is the third lady so affectionate, that day you said that I would take you away and fly away, how did you change your face today, I know that my family background is not good, but didn't you say that you appreciate my literary talent, I really like you wholeheartedly." ”

Everyone present looked at Xia Mengning, looking at the man's true feelings, I was afraid that these three young ladies really had a personal affair with him.

Xia Mengning didn't speak, just looked up at the eldest grandson Mo in the upper seat, this man, first attracted the prince, and then openly and secretly didn't know how much to tell the prince, and wanted to use himself to pull the dragon prince, in his previous life, he owed himself not only the promise and the child's life, but also, his own pure and sincere feelings, he gave him all his trust, but what about him, Xia Mengning remembered the suffering in his previous life, and couldn't help but feel slightly bitter in his heart, with a faint light in his eyes, Ying Ying looked at the eldest grandson Mo in the upper seat.

Changsun Mo was stared at by this sad gaze, and his fists in his sleeves couldn't help but clench, he and Changsun Yun had seen her that day, as long as he could come forward to make it clear, then he could relieve her siege, but if he stood up like this, the prince's suspicious character would definitely connect the things he had recommended to Xia Mengning to him in the past with today's things, and everything he had worked so hard to manage would collapse, maybe the prince would change his face and hit himself in turn, in this case, it was really not worth it.

Xia Mengning over there clearly saw the changes in Changsun Mo's eyes, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, this was the case in the previous life, and the same is true in this life, Changsun Mo, today's matter is my Xia Mengning's last hesitation to you, from now on, you and I have no other, you are just my old enemy to me, and you must be personally skilled.

Xia Mengning lowered her head and hid the look on her face, "Please father Mingjian, my daughter really hasn't seen this person." ”

Fang Shi said with a slight sneer, "Since the third young lady has never seen you, who gave you the love thing, you can take it out and show it to everyone." ”

When Cheng Gu heard this, he immediately took out a red golden hairpin from his arms, held it in his hand and said, "This is the love thing that the third lady gave me, saying that it is the golden hairpin that she often wears." ”

Xia Mengning turned sideways slightly, covering Fang's eyes, Xia Chuanyuan walked down and looked at it carefully, and immediately became furious, "Evil beast! ”

Fang Shi didn't think so, she already knew that this was the golden hairpin that Jiu'er took out from Xia Mengning's room, and said with a smug look on her face: "Ning'er, this is your fault, how can you give things from your daughter's family to others casually?" ”

Xia Mengning stood up straight lightly at this time, and smiled at Xia Chuanyuan and Xie Shi: "Daddy can also see it clearly, presumably this person recognized the wrong person, obviously holding the golden hairpin with the eldest sister, but said that it was given by Ning'er, it seems that the eldest sister didn't seem to tell him his true identity." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was surprised, how could this good and decent one involve the eldest lady again.

Xia Mengxi was so frightened that her face turned pale when she saw the man take out the golden hairpin, she didn't know what was going on today, she was obviously here to frame Xia Mengning's slut, this man was also found by his mother, why did he take his own golden hairpin?

The Fang clan will lean over to look, but Xia Mengning reached out and took the hairpin in Cheng Gu's hand, looked at it carefully, and then stepped forward and handed it to Xia Chuanyuan, "Daddy, that's right, this red gold hairpin was built by the Jade Workshop on your eldest sister's birthday last year, you see, there is a stream character below, so honored, even Ning Er remembers it clearly." ”

Fang was caught off guard by this sudden change, and turned his eyes to look at Mother Liu behind him, who also looked panicked and at a loss.

Cheng Gu looked confused, didn't he say that this golden hairpin belonged to the third lady, how could he become the eldest lady again.

Xie Shi's face was angry, "Bold fanatic, who instructed you to steal the eldest lady's golden hairpin?" ”

Xia Mengning stood there, no joy could be seen on his face, Xie Shi wanted to cover it up, but he was afraid that he would be a fool of all the people in the audience, and the matter had developed so far, and he was still trying to hide something.

Xia Chuanyuan's face turned pale, and he shouted angrily at Xia Mengxi, who was panicked on the side: "Don't kneel down yet!" ”

Xia Mengxi knelt down tremblingly, shook her head and cried: "I don't have it, Daddy, I really don't have it." ”

As he spoke, his face turned to Xia Mengning's direction, and he stretched out his finger and said, "It must be her, she framed me, daddy, you have to believe your daughter." ”

Xia Mengning's face was pale, and a pair of deer-like eyes looked at Xia Chuanyuan: "My daughter didn't know about today's events, and my father knew about it." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to Cheng Gu, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "It must be you, a madman, who stole my sister's golden hairpin and wanted to frame my sister, who instructed you to do this, don't you say it quickly?" ”

One sentence made everyone's eyes look at the initiator again, Cheng Gu's face was pale, he knelt on the ground and trembled, and he kept glancing in the direction of the Fang clan with his eyes.

Liu Shihan saw it, covered his veil and said with a smile: "Why does this man always look north, is there someone he knows?" ”

The north side is the corner of the Fang family, hearing this, Fang's heart was excited, he tightened the handkerchief in his hand, and walked forward in a few steps and said to Xia Chuanyuan: "Master, Xi'er has known and understood etiquette since she was a child, and she will never do such a thing, it must be this thief who framed her indiscriminately, Xi'er is still a boudoir woman, and the master wants to make the decision for Xi'er." ”

Xia Chuanyuan's face was pale, and Mrs. Liu, who was beside Liu Shihan, said: "This housewife is different, just now she had a face that was eager to kill her concubine, this time it was her daughter's turn, but she helped every sentence, and the housewife was so favoritous, she really had the style of a family." ”

Xia Mengning heard the words and went to Liu Shihan's place, the latter was handing her a reassuring smile, Xia Mengning wondered in her heart, she had seen this Liu Shihan before, why she and her mother were helping her today, I am afraid it is not as simple as the word "fate".

Xia Chuanyuan snorted and asked Cheng Gu who was kneeling on the ground, "Didn't you say that it was a token given to you by the third lady, why didn't you become the eldest lady, who are you, and what is the plan?" ”

Cheng Gu ran out of ideas, knelt on the ground and didn't know how to answer, as soon as he was told just now, he didn't even dare to glance in the direction of the Fang clan now, he could only sweat coldly, unable to speak.

At this moment, a nursing courtyard came in from the front yard, and he knelt on the ground in a few steps and said, "Your Excellency, Gonggong Su in the palace is here, and he came to send a congratulatory gift to the old lady at the behest of the emperor." ”

The emperor sent someone to give gifts, which is naturally great news, Xia Chuanyuan and Xie's faces were happy, Xia Mengning's heart moved slightly, his eyes glanced at the two kneeling on the ground, thought about it, and said to Xia Chuanyuan on the side: "Daddy, Father-in-law Su came up to send congratulatory gifts for the emperor, this kind of ugliness is really inconvenient for people to know, it is better to let the maid take the eldest sister back to the room, put this thief in the backyard, and wait until Xie Guoen, and then try it slowly." ”

Xia Chuanyuan thought about it and felt that it was best to do this, so he waved his hand and asked people to take Xia Mengxi and Cheng Gu down together.

Fang Shi saw it, although he still wiped his tears, his body stood up straight, and he covered the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and said a few words to Mother Liu beside him, Xia Mengning saw it, his eyes were faint, and he was afraid that he was going to seal that Cheng Gu's mouth. Thinking of this, Xia Mengning bent the corners of her eyes, looked at the back of Liu's mother who left in a hurry, and whispered a few words to Wu Qing beside her, and Wu Qing took the order to leave.

Because of the presence of the crown prince and the king of Mojun, Gonggong Su didn't take Qiao much, so he saluted first, and said to Xie with a smile: "Congratulations to the old lady, the emperor heard that this is your birthday, and the special servant sent you a birthday gift." ”

As he spoke, a group of little eunuchs behind him presented the tray, thanked him, and Gonggong Su fiddled with the net whip in his hand twice, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask the prime minister, can the third lady in the house be there?" ”

Xia Chuanyuan's face froze, and everyone didn't know why they mentioned the third lady again, but immediately, Xia Chuanyuan reacted and nodded: "Yes, I don't know why my father-in-law is looking for a little girl?" ”

Father-in-law Su smiled, but didn't speak, here, Xia Mengningying walked out, and saluted first: "The little girl has seen Father-in-law Su." ”

Father-in-law Su has been with the emperor for most of his life, and he has never been so eager to see someone from the emperor, so when the emperor asked him to lend the old lady of the Xia family a congratulatory gift, he took the opportunity to take a look at this third young lady who came out, and now that he can see the real person, he has to admire the emperor's will.

Although this girl is a concubine, she has never had a little inferiority complex between her eyebrows, on the contrary, a face as white as jade is radiant, and she is proper when she salutes, which can't help but make Grandpa Su curious.

"This is what the emperor asked the old slave to give to the third lady." As he spoke, Gonggong Su took out a red box with plum blossom branches from his sleeve, "Please also ask the third lady to accept it." ”

Xia Mengning was stunned, I don't know how the emperor named and wanted to give him something, so many pairs of eyes are staring, after today, I am afraid that I will become famous in this capital.

Although he thought so, he also knelt down and thanked him and took the box with both hands.

After Father-in-law Su finished his work, he gave his hand to leave, and Xia Chuanyuan ordered someone to send it, saying, "Father-in-law Su walks slowly." ”

Seeing the people leaving, Xia Mengning stood up, Xie looked at Xia Mengning who lowered his head, and only felt that his blood was surging, it was really incomprehensible that a woman who was born could get another look from the emperor.

The eldest grandson sat on the top at night, and his heart didn't change much, but he said lightly: "I don't know what treasure my father gave to the third lady, can the third lady open it and let us feast our eyes?" ”

Having said that, it was an unquestionable look, Xia Mengning looked at the people around him, expectation, contempt, envy, jealousy, what kind of eyes there were, indeed, this is a gift from the emperor, or a special trip to give it to himself, this is a great honor, thinking of this, Xia Mengning bowed down and saluted: "What the prince said is extremely true." ”

As he spoke, he opened the box, everyone stretched their necks and looked forward, Liu Shihan had already stood beside Xia Mengning, and looked at it curiously, only to see that the box was upright with a layer of yellow silk, on top of the silk cloth, there was a blue and white dotted delphinium branch hairpin, and the top of the hairpin was inlaid with a round pearl, which attracted the attention of the audience as soon as it was opened.

"It's so beautiful." Liu Shihan couldn't help but blurt out, indeed, the royal things are naturally incomparable to the outside, the scenery of workmanship, and the quality of materials all reflect a sense of wealth and luxury.

Xia Mengning's face was faint, and she looked up at the eldest grandson Ye who was sitting on the top, "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's a hairpin." ”

Changsun Ye's heart moved slightly, although this hairpin is not precious, but it is also worth 10,000 taels, ordinary women see such a big Dongzhu, I am afraid that they are happy, this woman has no smug look at all, it is really curious.
