Chapter Ninety-Six: The Truth?
"You are so bold, you dare to steal the princess's hairpin!" As soon as the princess and her maid walked up to Jing Ning, her maid began to reprimand loudly.
Jing Ning sneered in her heart, it turned out that she was waiting for her here. But there was still a look of grievance on his face, "Princess, how can I know your hairpin!" I'm afraid your maid has recognized the wrong person. ”
As soon as the maid heard this, she retorted: "Recognize the wrong person? Just now, it was obvious that you bumped into the princess, and then the princess's hairpin was lost. None of the others came close to the princess! I think you're trying to deny it! ”
"Don't dare, it's just that I didn't steal the princess's hairpin, but as the princess's maid, you don't give up, I have to say that I stole the princess's hairpin. It's really puzzling. Jing Ning said lightly.
"Okay, so since you said that no one saw you steal the hairpin, how can you prove that you didn't steal it?"
As soon as Jing Ning heard this, she also knew that there was no way to calm people today, so she said calmly: "First, no one has seen me take that hairpin, and what you said is only slander." Second, I am the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so there is no need to steal it for a small hairpin! ”
The princess frowned when she heard this, her eyes were full of disgust, and her maid continued to speak, "What do you know! That was a gift from the emperor to the princess on the princess's birthday, of course you haven't seen a small prime minister's mansion! ”
"Shut up, don't be unreasonable!" The princess heard her maid speak more and more, and she scolded her. Although she hates the woman in front of her, it doesn't mean that she wants to offend a prime minister's mansion.
When the maid heard the princess's reprimand, she immediately did not speak again.
The county lord of Huanting spoke at this time, "Princess, since there was only this eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion when you threw the hairpin, but she said that she didn't steal it, this statement is really contradictory. ”
She looked up at the princess's face, then at Jing Ning and continued. "In that case, it's better for the princess's maid to check Jing Ning's body. If there is, the princess's hairpin has also been recovered, and if not, it just so happens that Jing Ning can also prove your innocence. ”
Scold... It sounds like the best of both worlds, but to put it bluntly, it's a body search! If there is, then her reputation for stealing hairpins is confirmed; If not, then the humiliation she suffered today has become the laughing stock of others. What a wishful thinking!
But she Jingning didn't let her get her wish!
"Lord Wanting! What do you mean? Isn't this just going to search me! After Jing Ning finished speaking, he glanced coldly at the maid who was walking towards him and tried to search him.
"Presumptuous! You are just a maid, even if this girl is not as good as the princess Jin Zhi Yuye, she is also the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. It's not something you can offend as a maid. The little maid obviously didn't expect Jing Ning, who had been tolerating it, to say this, and she was a little undecided for a while, and looked back at the princess.
The princess finally spoke: "Jing Ning, right! This princess now suspects that you are stealing my hairpin to search your body, do you have any opinions? ”
Jing Ning was blessed when she heard this, and said respectfully on her face: "There is no reason for the little girl not to listen to the princess's words, but if the hairpin is really not on me, isn't it that the princess will also have a dull face?" ”
Seeing the princess's somewhat hesitant face, the county lord of Huanting suddenly became anxious: "Jing Ning, why don't you dare to let the princess search her body, isn't it that you really took the hairpin!" So you don't dare. ”
"Lord Huanting, we haven't finished what we did last time. Today I said how kind you came to me to apologize, it turned out that you were looking for an opportunity to slander me! As soon as Jing Ning saw Wan Ting anxiously searching her, she knew that the hairpin was undoubtedly on her. I don't know when she put it in, didn't she just ...... When did she invite her to enjoy the flowers?
She certainly couldn't let them be searched now, so she could only delay as much time as possible.
"Jing Ning, I really know my mistake today and want to fight with you into a jade silk, I didn't expect you to steal the princess's hairpin, and you want to question me, you have a ghost in your heart!"
"I didn't steal the princess's hairpin, why should you slander me if you don't have evidence?"
"I didn't slander you, it's you ......"
"Enough!" The princess had fallen into a dead loop when she listened to the conversation between the two people, and she stopped her.
The princess also grew up in the deep palace, and she can see a little clue. Dare to love is that two people have made a feud before. However, she is not keen on helping who frames whom, and her most important thing is to retrieve her hairpin.
There were already a lot of children of the family watching the play just now, and she didn't want to quarrel in front of the public like two people.
"It doesn't matter what personal enmity the two of you have in this palace, just now it was clear that only Jing Ning was close to this palace, but there are still many people who can do tricks and feet in it. So, both of you are going to be searched! ”
The face of the county lord was also a little unsightly, so many children of the family were watching, and she even saw a few young ladies who didn't know whose family they were bowing their heads and whispering together.
If the princess was really searched, she would definitely be laughed at in the future. But...... Since the hairpin was originally on Jing Ning, she had nothing to fear.
Having made up her mind, she raised her head and grabbed Jing Ning's sleeve at once, "Princess, you search her first." The hairpin must be on her. ”
Jing Ning was pulled by her like this, and her arm felt scraped, and she suddenly understood what it was.
turned around and pushed the county lord of Wan Ting, "Why are you pulling me." "The two of them are looking like they are fighting.
The two of them pushed and shoved along the way, and unknowingly reached the side of the boat. Jing Ning turned around and had an idea in his heart.
At this time, the county lord of Huanting was already angry, and just wanted to raise his hand is a slap. Jing Ning was obviously able to dodge this, but she held on.
"Snap" thought with a crisp slap, and then "bang", Jing Ning was "forced" to the railing.
At this time, in another part of the boat, Xiao Yuan looked at Xiao Rin with an angry face, and secretly rolled her eyes, and chased after her if she liked it! What's the point of looking at it like this!
The situation on the battlefield here is getting more and more intense. Jing Ning constantly stimulated the county lord with words.
The county lord of Huanting estimated that the new hatred and old hatred were combined, and he raised his hand or slapped him, "Die, you!" But this time she pounced, as soon as she touched Jing Ning's face, Jing Ning flipped straight down from the boat, from the perspective of others, it was more like she knocked her down.
Before she could react, she soon found out that it was Jing Ning's little slut's plan, and she was immediately angry.
"This county lord is usually very arrogant, but I didn't expect to get the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion off the boat today, do you think this prime minister can let her go!"
"Heh... Definitely not, everyone knows that the prime minister is very precious to his daughter-in-law! ”
The people around were muttering all the time. But the volume was loud enough for Wanting to hear in the silence.
The county lord of Huanting was furious, "It was that slut who jumped down by himself!" I didn't push her."
She didn't say that it was okay, as soon as she said it, she had the meaning that there were no three hundred taels of silver here.
"What a good person, she will jump into the river by herself?" It was like talking about a fool.
Wan Ting looked up and found that there was actually a maid among the people who laughed at her. stepped forward and raised his hand to give the little girl a slap.
As a result, a hairpin suddenly fell out of the sleeve, and it was the princess's one.
In addition to the one where the maid was beaten, the ridicule in the eyes of the other ladies of the family was even worse.
Xiao Yuan looked at the battlefield where the show was staged layer by layer, and sighed after looking at Xiao Rin in the lake.
As soon as Xiao Rin saw Jing Ning being pushed off the lake, he jumped down without hesitation.
