Chapter 29: Confrontation

Nanling Mo walked to the door of Rong Jin Hall, and very keenly found that Rong Jin Hall at this time was different from the past, she took a deep breath, pondered, and entered the door of Rong Jin Hall. In the main hall of Rong Jintang, the head of the old lady and the king of Zhennan sit at the top, the lower left of the king of Zhennan is the seat for the elders in the palace, and the lower right is the seat of the juniors of the palace in order.

When Nanling Mo arrived, Nanling Xiao was already sitting on the seat drinking tea. Nan Lingmo walked into the house to greet the old princess and the king of Zhennan, and then blessed the prince, and sat beside him. As soon as she sat down, Concubine Zhang, Nan Lingmei and others also arrived.

Nanling Mei threw herself at Mrs. Jiang with tears in her eyes and cried: "Grandmother, grandmother, please be the master!" This dress was given to me by my second sister...... It must be the second sister, who caused our Zhennan Wangfu to lose face. ”

"I don't understand what big sister is saying." Nan Lingmo said calmly, "Grandmother Rongyu, the clothes for the palace banquet tonight are all uniformly made in the house, and the slurry was washed and brought back by the girls two days before the palace banquet, why did it become my frame-up?" ”

"Second sister, this is said lightly, if it weren't for you, why wouldn't you wear palace clothes in the house to attend the palace banquet!" Nan Lingmei wiped her tears and said, "I know that I shouldn't invite my second sister to play in the rockery, and you will hurt your second sister......"

"Big sister, it turns out that I fell off the rockery because you invited me to play?" Nanling Mo suddenly realized, "Grandmother, Mo'er doesn't remember a lot of things after she fell, and she always thought that she accidentally fell down, and she forgot about it......"

"You...... Don't talk about him left or right! Nanling Mei said sharply.

"Big sister, the clothes I wore at today's palace banquet were sent in by Lord Yun this morning and let me wear them to the palace; I asked Mei Xue to prepare the clothes for us in the house in case I needed them. I didn't think that this dress was worn by you in the end, big sister, you just said that I deliberately framed you, it's too far-fetched! ”

"Grandmother, the imperial physician in the granddaughter's palace said that the neckline and placket of the dress that the granddaughter was wearing were sprinkled with an itchy powder, and the reason why the granddaughter would ...... It's a sobering soup that I drank with croton powder! Nan Lingmei cried angrily, "This dress was lent to me by my second sister, if it has nothing to do with her, I don't believe that my granddaughter is killed." ”

"Grandmother, father, eldest sister went to the west side of the Yixian Hall to change clothes because she was drunk, and the daughter never left the Yixian Palace. As for what happened in the west side hall, the daughter really didn't know anything. I only knew that Mei Xue, the personal girl, came back and forth to say that the eldest sister had soiled the spare clothes and needed to wear Mo'er's clothes, Mo'er thought that this was in the palace, no better than at home, and she had to be careful everywhere, so she allowed it. But what happened in the side hall, the daughter really doesn't know. After Nan Lingmo finished speaking, she paused and said: "For the sake of fairness, it is better to let the girl who served her at that time reply in detail!" ”

"Come on, pass on all the girls who entered the palace today," King Zhennan said in a deep voice.

Mei Xue and Hui Chun entered the house, and after kneeling down to say goodbye, the king of Zhennan asked them to explain the matter clearly in person.

Huichun and Mei Xue's rhetoric is almost the same, and it is impossible to hear anything wrong at all. Even the bowl of Nan Lingmei's suspicious sobering soup, even Huichun said that it was served by the palace people from beginning to end, Mei Xue and her had never touched it, and it was Nan Lingmei who drank the sobering soup herself.

Nanling Mei saw that there was no flaw in the words of the two, where could she believe that it was an accident. She anxiously pointed to her neck and said: "Grandmother, father, you see Mei'er's neck, it was caused by that itchy powder, if this matter really has nothing to do with the second sister, can the second sister let Mei Xue stretch out her hands and let everyone check on the spot if it was the itchy powder and croton powder she sprinkled?!" ”

'Mei Xue' stretched out her hands, and I held her hand and looked at it several times by the grandmother next to the old lady. Mama Gui replied: "Old lady, this Meixue girl's hands do not have any traces of powder, not even in the nails. ”

"It's impossible to !!" Nan Lingmei grabbed Mei Xue's hand in disbelief and looked at it several times, sat on the ground in disappointment, and muttered: "This is impossible, absolutely impossible!" ”

"Grandmother, the clothes for the palace banquet in the palace are all uniformly arranged, if the eldest sister has any objections to this, it is better to pass on the maid who received the clothes that day!" Nanling Mo said sincerely.

"Biography." The old lady commanded in a loud voice.

After a while, Mei Qian and Jian Qiu both appeared in Rongjin Hall. Nan Lingmei saw Jian Qiu appear in Rongjin Hall, and suddenly remembered something, her face turned white, and she secretly dragged Concubine Zhang's clothes with a weak heart, and Concubine Zhang shook Nan Lingmei's hand hard to calm her down.

Mei Qian talked about the situation of receiving the clothes that day, and also said that she almost fell, and the clothes almost fell to the ground, but it was Jian Qiu who helped her and helped her fold the clothes. After hearing this, Jian Qiu shouted that he was wronged and kept kowtowing. At this time, Mama Zhang came in and replied: "Old lady, when the slave maid went to pass on the two girls, she asked people to search their residences, and found a crumpled paper bag at the foot of the bed in Jianqiu's residence. Now that it has been checked, Dr. Wang is waiting outside the door waiting for a reply. ”

"Pass in!" King Zhennan said.

"I've seen the prince, the old princess, the masters," Doctor Wang entered the door and saluted.

King Zhennan nodded and said, "Doctor Wang, you are polite, please return to see what is in this paper bag." ”

"Back to the prince, this house is filled with itchy powder that will make people's bodies itchy and swollen, and after this powder is stained, it will be itchy and swollen when it is hot......"

"Jianqiu, you! You have a grudge against the county lord, and you come to frame her like this, you are so damned! Concubine Zhang, who reacted quickly, immediately knelt down and cried, "Wang Ye Rongyu, this cheap/maid was originally the eldest maid beside the county lord, but later because it was unfavorable to serve the county lord, the county lord beat her for twenty boards. The concubine thought that she was the niece of Mama Cui next to the concubine, and let her be left as a second-class maid to the county lord after she recovered from her injuries. ”

"Yes, father, this Jianqiu was called Peach Red before, and she was her daughter's second-class maid. After her daughter was promoted to the county lord, she was only mentioned as a first-class maid! The daughter didn't know that she was so vicious and dared to harm her second sister," Nan Lingmei said while crying, "Please father, grandmother is the master!" ”

As soon as Jian Qiu heard this, he knew that he had been abandoned, and he was about to open his mouth to argue with tears in his eyes, Zhang Shi said sharply: "You/, you did something wrong, the county lord didn't betray you, you still don't want to repent, and you still want to assassinate the county lord!" Don't you know that murdering the Lord is a great crime, and you don't even care about the lives of your family?! ”

"The slave is wronged, the slave is wronged!" Jianqiu yelled in fright.

"Don't you stop her mouth quickly, drag her out and beat her to death with a stick!!" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Zhang's eyes and he said.

"Wait," Nanling Mo stopped in a loud voice, "Zhang Niangniang is really good at etiquette. It's just that this is about to be the New Year, and at this time, the sin of killing has added to the bad luck, so it's better to let people close the firewood room first, and then sell it after the New Year. Nan Lingmo saluted the king of Zhennan and the old princess again, "I don't know what my grandmother's father wants?" ”

The old princess pondered for a long time, and said to the king of Zhennan: "Shen'er, what Mo'er said is not unreasonable, and you really shouldn't kill the evil under the New Year's Festival...... It's better to do what Mo'er wants! ”

King Zhennan nodded: "Come on, let people gag her mouth, throw her into the firewood room, take care of her, and send it out after the New Year!" ”

Immediately, a mother-in-law came in outside and took off her scissors and went out. The old princess looked at Nanling Mo, then at Zhang and Nanling Mei, and said meaningfully: "Since ancient times, 'it is still against heaven to do evil, and you can't live if you do it yourself', 'You have to spare people and spare people'!" ”

This was supposed to be Chinese New Year's Eve happy when everyone was celebrating the New Year, but when something like this happened, everyone was in no mood. The old princess served snacks and refreshments. The crowd did not dare to talk any more, but whispered something in a low voice.

Today's palace banquet was originally intended to be from the moment of Shen to the moment of You, due to the excitement of the wine order, as well as various accidents, it was already the time for everyone to return home. In addition, Nanling Mei made a fuss about this matter, and it was time soon.

The old princess was not happy, and after seeing that everyone kowtowed and finished the salute, she lightly said that the ancestral hall needed to be opened to worship the ancestors collectively, so she asked everyone to go back to rest.

"County Lord, it's really dangerous today, fortunately, we didn't show any flaws, and we didn't find anything!" The Phantom whispered as he helped her by his side. She didn't expect that the old lady would take over people's houses, but now that she thinks about it, she feels scared for a while, and she feels that her prince is really thoughtful, and he even takes into account the practice of searching the house.

"Do you think the old lady didn't find anything?" Nan Lingmo whispered as she walked, "If she hadn't found anything, she wouldn't have said that." She just said that to remind me......"

"By the way, what's the matter with that crumpled paper bag in Jianqiu?" Nanling Mohu asked suspiciously, "She won't be that stupid, right?" ”

"This was arranged by the prince," the phantom pursed his lips and smiled, "The prince said that since the powder was placed by her, she must be allowed to sit on this charge!" It just so happened that she threw away the paper bag after sprinkling the powder that day, and was picked up by Mu Yi when she saw it, but she didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly. ”

"I see. I'll just say that Jianqiu has always been a little clever, how could she leave such a big omission. Nanling Mo smiled, "That's it, let's rest first!" There's a whole bunch of things to attend to tomorrow. ”

"You let Mei Xi come in and keep vigil! Go back and rest. Nan Ling Mo commanded.

"Yes."

Nan Lingmo took out the "Poison Sutra" and studied it with Mei Xi for a while, and only fell asleep groggily when he was in Yin.
