Chapter 91: Murderous Machines (1)
Xia Mengning had lunch, and saw Wu Qing walk in, knowing that Wu Qing had found something, so he hurriedly rinsed his mouth and asked, "Did you find something?" ”
Wu Qing nodded, walked over to Xia Mengning's ear, and whispered a few words.
Xia Mengning listened, couldn't hide the look of surprise on his face, thought about it carefully, and connected all kinds of strange things some time ago, and then realized the conspiracy.
"I see!" Xia Mengning said, dragging his cheeks and looking at Wu Qing and asking, "Have you caught that doctor?" ”
Wu Qing shook his head, "The doctor went out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, went straight to the carriage and disappeared without a trace, I wanted to chase it, but the carriage seemed to be evil, and it disappeared after a while, I was worried about Ning's affairs, so I didn't chase it again, and I will tell you first when I come back." ”
Xia Mengning nodded, "Okay, if the Ning family dares to take this step, it means that she must have been prepared a long time ago, we only know that she is uneasy and kind, but we don't know her real conspiracy." ”
After thinking about it, Xia Mengning said again, "I guess, there must be a connection between these things, since the Ning family has taken out the fact that she is pregnant, it means that she also wants this child, but now that my aunt is also pregnant, it is difficult to guarantee that the Ning family will not be murderous, according to Ning's temperament, it will definitely not be so good, you go and keep an eye on it, in case there is anything wrong with her, you must tell me first." ”
Wu Qing nodded, Xia Mengning saw this, and said, "Let's go down first." ”
Standing up and walking to the window, Xia Mengning reached out and took a brush, traced on the paper, and after a while, the complex relationships of various characters appeared in front of him.
Staring at the words on the paper in front of him, Xia Mengning frowned tightly, these people don't seem to have anything to do with each other, but why are they involved in these recent things?
Xia Mengning pondered for a while, raised his head and looked out the window, it was late autumn, and the sky in the distance was full of black and oppressive dark clouds, pressing on the top of his head, making people feel breathless, Xia Mengning knew that a storm was coming.
Xia Chuanyuan rested at Yuyue's place for several days, and the Ning family couldn't help but hate in his heart, so he punished Yuyue to come to the house and kneel on the second day.
Dai Yue stood aside, looked at the people on the ground contemptuously, and said with a smile in her eyes: "Yuyue, your head has hit the ground, this is also called kneeling?" ”
Ning Shi was originally recuperating with his eyes closed, but when he heard this, he immediately opened his eyes, grabbed the needlework basket next to him and threw it on Yuyue, "Little hooves who don't know whether they are dead or alive, they can't kneel anymore, right?" ”
Yuyue hurriedly supported her body and straightened her waist, since she was called here in the morning, she was beaten and scolded by the Ning family, and then let herself kneel here, when did she know that she was wrong before she could get up.
Yuyue secretly pounded her already sore, somewhat painful thighs, gritted her teeth, and raised her neck.
Dai Yue saw it and smiled softly, "I don't know what happened to the sky, that's it!" ”
When Yuyue heard this, she glanced at Dai Yue angrily, and when she saw the ridicule on the other party's face, Yuyue couldn't help but feel hatred in her heart.
At this moment, Mother Wang came in from outside the door, walked to Ning's side and said, "Auntie, Aunt Liu from Lord Shilang's mansion is here." ”
Ning Shi opened his eyes and said disgustedly: "Why are you here again, didn't you say anything?" ”
Mother Wang shook her head, Ning sat up impatiently, and said to Yuyue: "Okay, that's all for today, don't get out of here." ”
With tears in her eyes, Yuyue couldn't stand up, so she could only slowly stand up on the ground and limp out.
"Call her in." Ning said, tidied up the blanket on his body, took a square silk pillow and put it under his arm, and leaned over diagonally.
After a while, I smelled a fragrant breeze, and a bejeweled woman dressed in a water-red dress walked in, saw Ning's, and hurriedly smiled: "Oh, my good sister, I can't see my sister for so long." ”
Ning frowned almost invisibly, and said lightly on his face: "What, how can my sister have time to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”
Aunt Liu's full name is Liu Hanyan, and she used to be good sisters with Ning Yun'er in the Qinglou, which is now the Ning family, but now they are both married to Gaomen as concubines, and they don't have any friendship on weekdays.
When Liu Hanyan heard this, she took the handkerchief and said with a smile: "My good sister, my sister heard that you were pregnant, and she was very happy in her heart, so she came to say hello to you." ”
Ning's 'oh', picked up the milk tea on the table and took a sip, and said: "My sister's news is well-informed, but I have a good relationship with my sister, where can I not know my sister's thoughts, just say anything directly, don't twist and turn." ”
When Liu Hanyan heard this, his face was embarrassed, but then he smiled and said: "It's still my sister's exquisite thoughts, even my thoughts can be seen, no wonder the prime minister loves you so much." ”
As he spoke, he moved the embroidery stool forward, and whispered: "My sister also knows that my sister is just an aunt in the Shilang Mansion, and the usual moon silver is not enough to add a few pieces of jewelry, but my sister is different, she is the person on the tip of the prime minister's heart, so my sister just wants to borrow some silver from my sister this time to relieve the urgency at hand." ”
When Ning heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "What, you want to borrow silver again, didn't I just give you a hundred taels a few days ago?" ”
When Liu Hanyan heard this, she was a little dissatisfied with Ning's attitude, and pouted: "What does my sister mean by this, the one hundred taels a few days ago were the money from the last incident, why did I borrow it again?" ”
Ning's face turned pale, and he lowered his voice and said: "Obviously, I said at the beginning, you help me do things, and I will give you one hundred taels, but since that time, I have given you five hundred taels back and forth, and you even came to me to borrow it, is it possible that you treat me as a banker?" ”
Liu Hanyan saw Ning's hysterical appearance, and his face was a little unbearable, but thinking of the fierce and vicious appearance of those debt collectors, he still accompanied the smiling face again, "Good sister, sister, isn't it easy to get money, wait until a few days when I turn over the book, and I will return it to you with interest." ”
Ning Shi listened, his eyes widened and asked, "What copy?" Are you gambling again? ”
Knowing that he was speechless, Liu Hanyan's face was scornful, but since he had already said it, it was not good to continue pretending, Liu Hanyan simply turned his heart sideways and said: "Sister, don't blame my sister, my sister just didn't hold back for a while, but my sister promised this time that as long as she took the money and turned over the book, she would never gamble again." ”
Ning Shi listened, and his heart was extremely irritable, he had recently been working around for the child in his belly, and he didn't have much savings, so he gave Liu Hanyan five hundred taels, and spent a lot of money to hire an imposter doctor, and now he is also shy in his pocket, where is the spare money to lend her?
Thinking of this, Ning said: "Sister, how many times have you said this, and every time you say it is the last time, who do you think can believe you?" ”
After Ning finished speaking, he remembered that he had to take care of the child in his belly recently and prevent these people from seducing the master, none of which was worry-free, thinking of this, Ning couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart, turned around and said coldly: "Sister doesn't need to say it anymore, my sister doesn't have any spare money, what's more, my sister has already given you more than the money set at the beginning, my sister just moved her mouth, five hundred taels should be enough." ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Hanyan couldn't help but cool down, seeing the disgust and impatience on Ning's face, he couldn't help but stiffen his neck and said: "What does my sister mean by this, don't you save you when you die?" ”
Ning Shi didn't make a sound, just silent, but he also explained his thoughts.
Liu Hanyan stood up, pointed at Ning Shi and said loudly: "Okay, I didn't know how sweet my mouth was when I begged me at the beginning, but now that the matter is complete, I will immediately turn my face and deny people, Ning Yun'er, I will tell you, five hundred taels, if I can't get five hundred taels after three days, don't blame me for shaking out all your good deeds, there is no way to live without money, it is better to pull a cushion on the back, give it or not, you have to weigh it yourself." ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Ning's face turned blue, and with a wave of his hand in anger, he waved down the tea sets on the table.
Hearing the sound, Mother Wang hurriedly came in from outside the door, and when she saw the fragments on the ground and Ning's expression, she also knew that it must be related to Aunt Liu just now.
After instructing the girl to clean up the pieces, Wang's mother walked over and said, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" ”
Ning's hands were clenched, and a strong hatred burst out of his eyes, "Liu Hanyan, this slut, dares to threaten me!" ”
Mother Wang was so smart, she immediately understood the twists and turns, and stepped forward and said, "Could it be that Aunt Liu came to us to borrow money again?" ”
Ning Shi turned his head and looked at Mother Wang, with tears in her eyes, "Mother Wang, she said that she wanted me to give her five hundred taels, and said that if she didn't see the money after three days, she would tell my master about it, she was going to ruin me, Mother Wang." ”
When Mother Wang heard this, her face calmed down, and she patted Ning's hand and said, "It's okay aunt, she wants money, let's give it to her." ”
Ning lowered his voice, "Where are we going to get so much money?" ”
Mother Wang thought for a while, "Now that my aunt is pregnant, it is better to use this to go to the steward's room to advance five hundred taels, saying that I want to buy some supplements for my aunt." ”
Ning wiped his tears and asked uneasily: "Can you advance it, five hundred taels, isn't it a small amount?" ”
Mother Wang nodded, "There is only one way to do it for now, Aunt Liu has a vicious mind, if she can't do what she wants, I'm afraid something will really happen." ”
Ning gritted his teeth, "If you don't do it, it's better to just send someone to do her, and it's okay but you will suffer." ”
Mother Wang shook her head, "No, no matter how you say that she is the aunt of the Shilang Mansion, she will definitely be investigated if something happens, besides, Aunt Liu can come here to say these words to you and threaten you, I am afraid that she has already expected what we will do, will she be so stupid that she will swagger out of the Shilang Mansion in the past few days, so we can't do it at all." ”
Ning Shi was anxious, held Wang's mother's hand and said, "What can I do, I can't let her destroy me like this, this is everything I have worked so hard to plan, I can't let her destroy me." ”
Mother Wang nodded, "Auntie, now we can only make an advance to the account office, as long as the silver is advanced, we will let Aunt Liu write the contract on the spot, so that she will not be able to come to you again in the future." ”
Ning thought about it, and finally nodded.
