After returning to the general's mansion, the two people who escorted the jade slave left, and the jade slave estimated that in this world, the young lady should be eating in the warm hall, and then went directly, and sure enough, I just saw a pair of subordinates just holding the soup into it, and all kinds of dishes with all kinds of colors and flavors had already filled the table.

After the jade slave came in, he looked around for a while, and then went to Ning Zimo's side, and whispered in Ning Zimo's ear: "Miss, the prince has something to ask the slave to tell you." ”

Ning Zimo had also noticed the jade slave who came in with plum blossoms, and when he saw this, he temporarily stopped eating, and asked in a low voice: "What's the big deal, do you have to say it now?" ”

"The prince said, let you not believe in the son, and the prince also said that the prince is not a person worthy of your trust."

Ning Zimo snorted coldly, the Fifth Prince is also a person who is not worth trusting, but she has not yet torn her face with the Fifth Prince, so she believes that the words warned by the Fifth Prince now are mostly for her sake, so she just nodded and said, "Got it,"

Ning Tiancheng had actually been sitting beside Ning Zimo, and when he saw their master and servant talking sneakily, he didn't dare to listen to his body directly, but Rao was pricked up his ears and didn't hear what the two masters and servants were muttering.

"Okay, why are you crying?"

During the banquet, several people who were eating separately heard such an abrupt sentence, which was reprimanded by Ning Ziting, because Ning Ziyu didn't know why, the dinner was used well, and the tears rolled down.

Ning Zimo looked over, Ning Guodong also looked over, and said with concern to the poor Ning Ziyu who was crying: "Today's Xiaonian, it should be the time for the family to rejoice, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ning Ziyu wiped a handful of tears, glanced at Ning Tiancheng timidly, and shook his head like a rattle.

She said again and again that it was okay, but Ning Guodong didn't think so, her eyes brushed between Ning Tiancheng and Ning Ziyan, and asked suspiciously: "Tiancheng, did you bully your fifth sister?" ”

"No, Daddy, my son is wronged, I practice martial arts in the martial arts training ground all day, how can I have time to go to Mingyue Pavilion to bully her,"

Ning Guodong wrinkled his brows, Ning Zimo saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and hurriedly said: "Dad, you have misunderstood the eldest brother, the eldest brother is now practicing martial arts all day long, and is preparing for the martial arts move in March next year." Besides, the eldest brother has always cared for us sisters, how can he bully the fifth sister in private?"

"So, Purple Meadow, why are you crying?"

Ning Ziting was afraid that she would say something, so she hurriedly replied for Ning Ziyu: "Maybe I think of my mother, every year in the past, my mother would make winter clothes for the fifth sister." ”

Ning Guodong didn't say anything more when he heard this, the joy on his face was so easy to pile up because of Xiao Nian, when he heard this, it was gone, everyone sat on the table and didn't know what to think, each with a ghost, and the atmosphere was very weird.

The banquet was dispersed, Ning Guodong left Ning Zimo alone, and asked: "Xiao Mo, it seems that the situation of the purple meander is not as simple as we see, you go and ask her in private, and ask if Ning Tiancheng bullied her." ”

"In fact, when the fourth sister was out of the private prison earlier, the fifth sister also went to see it, and the doctor said that not only the fourth sister had frostbite on her body, but also on the fifth sister. The injuries of these four sisters naturally fell from the prison, but these five sisters are doing well in Mingyue Pavilion, why are they injured? Doesn't Daddy think it's weird? ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Daddy, you still have to call the house doctor to ask."

Today's Xiao Nian, Ning Guodong let the house doctor go back to reunite with his family, so he first suppressed this matter for one night.

But Ning Guodong didn't sleep well all night, although he was a concubine, but he didn't mean to look down on him, and he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and recruited the housekeeper in.

"Sir, what's wrong with you? It's been three watches, and you haven't fallen asleep yet? ”

"Master, I always feel unsure, you say, did Ning Tiancheng hold a grudge against Aunt Liu's two daughters because of Ning Zixin's matter?"

"Sir, do you mean that the eldest young master will bully the fourth and fifth misses?"

"Yes, Ning Ziyan is only twelve years old, aggrieved and shed tears, I, as a father, look at it and worry in my heart, you go and check, check if Ning Tiancheng's bastard has done anything excessive recently."

An embarrassed look flashed on the butler's face, and he hesitated for a long time before he said cautiously: "Master, in fact, there is no need to check, before the fourth young lady is out of the private prison, the eldest young master always invites the fifth young lady to the martial arts training ground, and let the fifth young master accompany the eldest young master to practice martial arts." The old slave wanted to stop her, but the eldest young master said that it was to teach the fourth lady some fist and foot kung fu so that she would not be bullied in the future. ”

The more Ning Guodong listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Will he teach martial arts kindly?" ”

"We don't believe it either, but when Miss Fifth came out of the martial arts training ground, she didn't see any injuries on her body, nor did she see Miss Five crying, and I didn't hear Miss Five say that the eldest young master was not, but her face was a little pale, and she asked Miss Five, and Miss Five also said that she was tired of practicing basic skills."

Of course, Ning Ziyan didn't dare to sue at that time, let alone say anything, because Ning Tiancheng threatened her, if she knew what she was talking nonsense, she would poison Ning Ziting who was in prison, the two sisters relied on each other, and neither of them wanted anything to happen to each other, so this Ning Ziyan had always been tight-lipped and didn't say anything.

Ning Guodong was a little angry, so he casually took a piece of clothing and put it on and was about to go to Ning Tiancheng's yard, but fortunately, the housekeeper stopped him in time.

"Master, it was the fourth young lady who killed the second young lady first, no matter how sure the eldest young master is, he is sad in his heart. And Miss Yan is right, the eldest young master is now motivated, if you go here, if the eldest young master has an accident at this juncture, then he will not be able to participate in next year's imperial examination. ”

Ning Guodong pursed his lips tightly, and said after a while: "Write this down in advance, and settle accounts with that little calf in the future." ”

It was not quiet in this Huating Garden, Ning Zimo summoned Ning Ziting and Ning Ziyu to sit in his courtyard, and while giving Ning Ziyu medicine to his arm, he instructed Ning Ziting: "Clean up Ning Tiancheng's affairs, don't worry, you two sisters, if we make trouble in the mansion, my father will not punish him too heavily."

"What Miss Yan said is true, but whenever I think of that beast who made the fifth sister take off her clothes and freeze in the snow and ice in the martial arts training ground, I can't wait to rush to his yard and kill him with a knife."

Ning Zimo changed another medicine to apply medicine to Ning Ziyu's elbow frostbite, and when he heard this, he shook his head and said: "You, you are still so impulsive, what Ning Tiancheng values most is the matter of next year's martial arts scientific examination, which ruined his hopes and future, and asked him to become a waste person who is served by others in the future, which is the most ruthless way to destroy a person." ”

"Yes, I know I'm impulsive, but look at what the fifth sister has made him torture, Miss Yan, you have a lot of patience, but we two sisters, living under the same roof with him all day, this day is too difficult."

"It's not hard, you haven't experienced the despair of waiting to die in a cell, what is it."

Ning Zimo was understated, but Ning Zimo asked cautiously, "Miss Yan, when did you live in a cell?" ”

When Ning Zimo heard this question, he realized that he had missed something, and hurriedly interrupted: "Are you still in pain here?" It's cold in winter, let the housekeeper send you more charcoal fire to Mingyue Pavilion in the future, keep warm and take care of your body, you are only twelve years old, and you haven't started to grow your body yet, what if you freeze it? ”

"Yes, thank you for your concern."

Her eyes are always hot, and she wants to shed tears and feels that it is not suitable for today's festive day, so she desperately endures it, and the tears have been swirling in her eyes.

Ning Zimo sighed in her heart, and when she had finished applying the medicine, she took her arm back, and the two sisters also said goodbye and went back.

Ning Zimo took the ointment back into the box, and asked Yu Nu: "I see that you have always had something to say, you are suffocated, now there are no outsiders, you can say it." ”

"Miss, these fourth and fifth ladies are really pitiful to be bullied."

"That's not what you're talking about, you haven't told me yet, how Arnold is in the palace? Can you eat well and dress warmly? ”

As soon as Yu Nu mentioned this, he didn't know where he was unconvinced, and he was directly displeased: "People eat and wear well, better than the fourth and fifth ladies in our house, and you are still worried about what she does."

"What's wrong with you? Why do you say that the tone is so impulsive, you didn't have a good relationship with her in the past. ”

"That's because at the beginning, I was also serving Miss, and the slave and maid consciously worked with her and served Miss for a lifetime, and they were able to support each other for a lifetime, but now after that person went to the palace, his whole body seemed to be a different person."

"Are you jealous that she's doing better than you?"

"Conscience, Miss, the slave maid can't be the kind of person who is jealous of others and jealous of others, she knew exactly what she was going to the palace for, not to mention helping you monitor the prince, but also trying to please the prince, otherwise why would the prince be so good to her, so she sent two people to serve her."

Ning Zimo was silent for a long time when she heard this, and then turned her gaze to the white glazed bottle where the plum blossom had just been inserted in Yunu, and said suspiciously: "This is what she asked you to bring to me?" ”

Yunu glanced at it and said: "It's all the eyes that have been raised, and the flowers are still budding to be released, and they can be raised for a long time." ”

"You, I think you're too prejudiced, come, bring it and I'll take a closer look."

The jade slave pushed the vase towards Ning Zimo, and Ning Zimo took out the plum blossom branches that had just been inserted in the vase, and took them one by one in his hand to look at them carefully, and sure enough, he saw two lines of small characters on the two relatively thick branches.

"Go, bring the brighter candle."

Although the jade slave didn't understand, he had always been obedient, and walked over to bring the candle flame, Ning Zimo looked at it by the firelight, and after looking at it for a long time, he saw clearly what was written in the two lines of small characters, and then then inserted the plum blossom back and looked at the jade slave and said: "Look, Arnold's cleverness is not something you and I can imagine, and you, ah, misunderstood her." ”

"Miss, this Arnold doesn't write letters, why do you have to work so hard to say two sentences."

The jade slave also saw the unusual, but he didn't ask what was written, he blushed at the moment, a little embarrassed, and pinched Ning Zimo's shoulder flatteringly, and asked: "Today's slave maid's attitude towards Arnold is really not good, will this Arnold blame the slave maid?" ”

"Arnold didn't dare to write a letter, it must be that the five princes suspected something, and the five princes were kind to her for no reason, the real purpose was to make everyone in the palace isolate this Arnold, so that no one in the palace would easily help Arnold do something."

"Huh? Miss, isn't it a great danger that this Arnold is still in the palace? ”

"No, his target is me, in the entire General's Mansion, an Arnold, he only needs to eat and drink, it's not worth bothering to deal with."

Yunu said with some relief: "Then Miss, I still want to go and see Arnold tonight, do you think it can be done?" She was alone in the palace, and she was very lonely. ”

"You understand her, don't be stingy next time you talk to her, care about people, the clothes you see are superficial, you know?"

"Yes, the slave knows. Then tomorrow you will ask me to send some things to the Fifth Prince, so that I will have a chance to apologize to Arnold. ”

Ning Zimo nodded and ordered, "I'll talk about it in detail tomorrow morning, it's not early, it's time to rest." ”
