Chapter 113: Bitter Meat Scheme
After Xiao Rin secretly made sure that Jing Ning was fine, he returned to Xiao Mansion after staying overnight, Xiao Yuan didn't have the heart to linger with Zhou Gong, he didn't sleep too heavily at this time, and when he heard the movement, he knew that his brother was back, so he quickly pushed open the door and asked, "Brother, how is my sister-in-law?" ”
"No problem." Although Xiao Rin said this, the aura around him was much colder than usual, and he paused and added, "Go early later." ”
Xiao Yuan relieved himself when he heard Xiao Rin say that Jing Ning was fine, and nodded seriously: "I won't forget it." ”
And the Prime Minister's Mansion was brightly lit overnight.
Zheng Xiuning knelt in front of Zheng Anyan, crying pear blossoms with rain, and shouted softly and weakly: "Father, how could Xiuning harm my sister?" I really didn't give it to me..."
Yang also cried and pleaded for Zheng Xiuning: "Master, Xiuning is so bold that she doesn't dare to harm her sister!" Sir..."
"Enough!" Zheng Anyan scolded, and when he heard that Jing Ning was poisoned, he was furious, and Jing Ning's personal maids all confirmed that the sachet was given to Jing Ning by the second lady, and he was already angry, but now Zheng Xiuning and Yang's crying and crying made him even more upset.
Zheng Xiuning hated it so much, although she did poison Zheng Jingning, but it was not a poison that could kill people, but she just wanted Zheng Jingning to suffer. God knows who Zheng Jingning provoked and gave her such a cruel poison, so why did Zheng Jingning suffer from it on her head? She was really wronged this time!
At this time, the sky was only slightly bright, Zheng Yanhe had always had a regular schedule, and he got up to read at this time, but when he saw the people in the house coming and going, he stopped and asked what happened.
The maid who was called showed a sad face, and told Zheng Yanhe about Jing Ning's sudden poisoning last night: "Young Master Tang, go and see the eldest lady, the young lady was suddenly poisoned last night, and her body was covered with red bumps, and when you touch it lightly, the blood will bubble!" ”
"What's going on?!" Zheng Yanhe was shocked in his heart, who ate the ambitious leopard gall? How dare you poison Miss Yan of the Prime Minister's Mansion?!
The maid felt sad when she thought of the eldest lady's whole body festering and blood gushing out, and her voice actually carried a little crying: "The doctor came to check, the poison was in the sachet next to the eldest lady's pillow, it is said that the sachet was given to the eldest lady by the second lady, and the eldest lady was happy to put it on the pillow... Who knows..."
Zheng Yanhe "chuckled" in his heart, and subconsciously remembered the sachet that Xiuning let him give to Jing Ning last night, and his brows wrinkled unconsciously.
The maid was sincerely sad for Jing Ning, Zheng Yanhe didn't speak, she continued to chatter: "How good the eldest lady was to the second miss in the past, but the second miss actually did such a thing to frame the eldest lady!" Even so, the eldest lady is not harsh on the second lady... The eldest lady is so kind-hearted, and treats her subordinates well...", she whimpered.
"Where are Jing Ning and Xiu Ning now?" Zheng Yanhe interrupted the maid's idea of crying, there were some things he had to figure out.
The maid wiped her tears, sniffed and said, "The eldest lady is still lying in bed in a coma in pain, and we are terrified when we look at those festers... The second lady was called by the master to the front hall for questioning... Ah, I'm going to bring medicine to the eldest lady, young master, the slave and maid will take their leave first. Saying that, he was blessed, and his body retreated.
Zheng Yanhe nodded, planning to go to see how Jing Ning was doing first, so he stopped the maid: "Wait, I'll go with you to see Jing Ning." ”
A moment later, inside the Jingning house. Zheng Yanhe looked at the pale girl in front of him who was covered in blood, and couldn't believe it for a while, this was the well-behaved and clever little Jingning who always followed him. With just one glance, Zheng Yanhe walked to the front hall. He wanted to ask Xiuning to find out, what was going on?
"Father... Father, you believe me..."Before Zheng Yanhe could get closer, Xiu Ning's cry was heard from a distance, followed by Zheng Anyan's angry voice.
"Believe you? You can explain to me what the word 'Hugh' on the sachet is?! ”
Zheng Yanhe paused, but still raised his feet and went in, and made a long bow towards Zheng Anyan: "Uncle." ”
Seeing that it was Zheng Yanhe, Zheng Anyan eased his face, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "Yanhe is awake, what is the matter?" ”
Zheng Yanhe glanced at Zheng Xiuning, who was kneeling on the ground and crying with pear blossoms and rain, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, but he was quickly pressed down, he arched his hand towards Zheng Anyan, and said, "Yanhe has something I want to ask Cousin Xiuning about clearly." ”
"Huh?" Zheng Anyan was about to ask him to ask later, but Zheng Yanhe's next sentence dispelled his thoughts.
"It's about cousin Jingning."
Zheng Anyan frowned, but still nodded: "You ask." ”
Zheng Xiuning thought that this savior had arrived, raised his head and stared at Zheng Yanhe with tears in his eyes, how pitiful and pitiful that look was, if it was an ordinary man, it would be false to say that he was not moved at this moment. What's more, Zheng Yanhe has liked Zheng Xiuning since he was a child, but reason still prevails, his eyes are locked on Zheng Xiuning's face, and he asks in a very serious tone: "Xiuning, last night..."
"Cousin! I didn't! Zheng Xiuning suddenly said up, how could she let her father know that she let her cousin into her house in the middle of the night last night? Even if it was really nothing, what would her father think of her!
Zheng Yanhe took a deep breath, ignoring Zheng Xiuning's resistance: "I went out to admire the moon last night, and it suddenly rained heavily, thanks to Xiuning's cousin for letting me take shelter from the rain..."
"My cousin asked me to transfer a sachet to Yu Jingning for you last night, but is there such a thing?" Zheng Yanhe asked Zheng Xiuning word by word.
Zheng Xiuning's face turned pale, Zheng Anyan has been in officialdom for many years, if he can't even look at his face, he doesn't have to do it. Snorted coldly and looked at his good daughter: "Zheng Xiuning, do you have anything else to say?" ”
"Father..."Zheng Xiuning still wanted to defend something, but he couldn't say anything to Zheng Anyan's eyes.
Yang was a clever man, and hurriedly slapped Zheng Xiuning and roared: "Rebel girl! How can you poison your own sister! Don't hesitate to admit your mistake to your father! Then he knelt down in front of Zheng Anyan and pleaded for Zheng Xiuning with a handful of snot and tears, "Master, Xiuning, she must not have done it on purpose!" Forgive Xiuning this time! ”
Zheng Xiuning sat on the floor as if he was stupid, pursing his lips and feeling at a loss.
Zheng Anyan waved his sleeves and snorted coldly: "From now on, the second young lady will be grounded in the courtyard and fasted for one day!" No one is allowed to see her without my permission! The last sentence was obviously for the Yang family, and after that, he kicked Yang away and walked towards Jingning's courtyard.
After Zheng Anyan left, Yang hurried over to help Zheng Xiuning. Zheng Yanhe glanced at Zheng Xiuning, who was sitting on the ground, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, and when he wanted to leave, he was grabbed by Zheng Xiuning.
“… Cousin, why do you do this to me? Zheng Xiuning raised her head, her face was full of tears, but Zheng Yanhe saw that her eyes were a little vicious, and she had mixed feelings in her heart for a while.
