Chapter Seventy-Five: Suspicion
Mrs. Lin grabbed the handkerchief, and her face was slightly difficult to look at.
However, when she swept to Jing Ning, who was standing aside, she straightened up and said with an angry expression, "What is the Prime Minister talking about, if the two of them don't really love each other, how can my nephew send a love letter to the second lady?" Also exchanged jade pendants? ”
“……”
"If the Prime Minister doesn't believe it, you can ask the eldest lady, the eldest lady was also present at the time, and she was almost misunderstood, and she was happy with my family!"
Two lovers?
Zheng Anyan's face changed slightly.
Mrs. Lin continued.
"When Xiu Ning said this at that time, I didn't believe it, after all, the eldest lady was married to the Xiao family, and she didn't know my nephew, how could she make a private agreement for life? Later, I learned that my nephew and I knew the second lady of your house. ”
"It's just that the second lady is thin-skinned, and this matter was suddenly discovered, and she was a little panicked, so she said that the love letter was the eldest lady's, which almost made us misunderstand!"
Speaking of which, where does Zheng Anyan still not understand what happened?
This is just Zheng Xiuning's deliberate calculation!
Her original idea was to frame Jing Ning for adultery!
Zheng Anyan's chest rose and fell, and his hands under his sleeves were trembling slightly.
"Prime Minister, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Lin was still chattering freely, and suddenly found that Zheng Anyan's expression was a little wrong, and her heart was fluttering, and she hurriedly tried to speak.
If it weren't for the Danyang County Lord on the side, Mrs. Lin would never have come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage.
Her purpose was originally the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and marrying the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion was not only her nephew, but also her entire family could rise to the top, and Zheng Xiuning, a concubine, was naturally not taken into her eyes.
It's just that the county lord of Danyang is right about one thing-
is that Zheng Xiuning is a concubine, and now she is also the righteous daughter of Princess Lu!
What's more, the position of the prime minister's housewife is still vacant until now, and there is only one Aunt Yang in the backyard of Zheng Anyan, who knows if Aunt Yang will turn over in the future?
If it weren't for the presence of scruples of outsiders, Zheng Anyan would have been angry.
But at this moment, he could only calm the anger in his heart, barely maintaining the calmness and politeness on his face.
"Mrs. Lin is reasonable, since the juniors are happy with each other, it is not good for us to interfere as elders, but Xiuning is still young now, so it is better for the two of us to agree on the marriage date first, and then marry after Xiuning and Lu."
It's as simple as that?
Mrs. Lin was stunned, and the set of rhetoric prepared before coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion was useless at the moment.
Probably never thought that the Prime Minister's Mansion would agree so easily, right?
She was immediately overjoyed, "Since the Prime Minister has said so, I will prepare the dowry when I go back, prepare the wedding date, and wait for the second lady and Lu to pass the door!" ”
Even if you can't marry your nephew Jing Ning, it's good to get Princess Lu's righteous daughter!
After all, King Lu's Mansion is a royal family!
Zheng Anyan smiled at the corner of his lips, but his face was not good-looking.
After all, the concubine who has been held in the palm of her hand for so many years wants to harm her favorite eldest daughter, who can understand the heartfelt invitation of Zheng Anyan as a father?
"Since this is the case, this marriage is decided, and after Mrs. Lin goes back, let Lin Gongzi not worry, just cultivate well."
At the mention of Lin Minzhi, Zheng Anyan's eyes crossed with a trace of disgust.
The most well-known gentleman in the capital, lingering in the flower streets and willow alleys, obsessed with cockfighting and lackeys, not learning and knowing, how can such an incompetent man make Zheng Anyan feel good?
Mrs. Lin naturally didn't see the disgust in Zheng Anyan's eyes.
She was immersed in the joy of her nephew's marriage with the Prime Minister's Mansion at the moment, and it was time to be very happy to learn that Zheng Xiuning, who was the daughter-in-law of Princess Lu, would be the daughter-in-law of her Lin family in the future.
"Since that's the case, then I'll retire, my nephew has been asking me about the second lady today, and I'll go back today so that he can settle down."
Zheng Anyan didn't speak, and responded lightly.
He waved his hand and asked someone to send the ecstatic Mrs. Lin out.
Jing Ning looked at Mrs. Lin, who was so happy that she even walked briskly, slowly retracted her gaze and put her eyes on her father.
At this time, Zheng Anyan's expression was faint, but in the depths of his eyes, the mountains were full of wind and rain.
She pursed her lips and said, "Father, that son of the Lin family is not a good thing at first glance, why do you still agree to his marriage with his sister?" ”
"Then why didn't Jing Ning say anything to stop it?"
Zheng Anyan did not answer Jing Ning's words, but asked rhetorically, staring at Jing Ning's gaze was also obscure.
Jing Ning knew that her father was beginning to be suspicious, and the recent succession of events, as well as the abnormalities and changes that had occurred inexplicably in her, were always suspicious.
But she wasn't intimidated.
She lowered her eyes and said, "Daughter...... My daughter didn't know what to say, but my daughter was very scared, that day in the temple, including my sister and Aunt Yang, they all said that I had a personal relationship with Lin Gongzi, and said that I saw me and Lin Gongzi staying alone and widowed, but that love poem was obviously found in my sister's room, and ......it was not me who met Lin Gongzi."
As she spoke, she bit her lip tightly, and her eyes grew red.
"When I explained to my sister, it was treated as adultery...... That's why the daughter is afraid, the daughter is afraid that if Fang Cai speaks out to stop this marriage, will she be considered to have a personal affair with Lin Gongzi again, and it is said that she is jealous and does not want her sister to marry the Lin family, and her daughter seems to be doing everything wrong......"
As she spoke, her voice choked and buried herself in Zheng Anyan's arms.
Zheng Anyan's expression darkened, hugged him, and patiently comforted him.
"Okay, my father knows, and my father didn't misunderstand you."
However, Jing Ning's sobbing never stopped, she raised her head while sobbing, as if she was very puzzled: "Father, the county lord of Danyang told me that my sister has been using me all along, just to provoke conflicts between me and other families, so that I will be ruined, so that my father will dislike me......"
“......”
"Father, did the daughter do something wrong? Why do Aunt Yang and my sister hate me so much? ”
His eyes sank, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but the action of appeasing Jing Ning never stopped, still gently stroking Jing Ning's hair.
"Isn't there still a father? It's enough for your father to like you, not to mention that Aunt Yang is just an aunt, she was born in a vulgar background, and Xiuning has been raised outside for so many years, and she has been taught by you and her, so her natural personality is a little worse. ”
He said in a light voice, and when he mentioned Aunt Yang and Zheng Xiuning, his voice was faint.
After all, these two people, one has been working hard for many years, and the other is a supple scorpion on the outside and a scorpion on the inside, if there is any affection in the past, after knowing the good things they have done to Jing Ning in the past four years, they are almost faint.
