Chapter Twenty-Four: Curiosity Kills Cats

She actually did something about sneaking people two days ago, she secretly followed her brother to see where her brother had gone during the day, but every time she followed him, she lost it.

This time, she secretly followed the cart that came out of the palace in front of her, and she looked at the panicked appearance of the two people and knew that the burlap bag on the cart was definitely not the so-called pork.

The two people didn't notice the people following behind them at all, they just wanted to dispose of the things in their hands as soon as possible, and when they saw that they had arrived at a waste ditch, the pace of the two people also accelerated, and it seemed that they didn't even want the car.

When the two men saw that the burlap bag had fallen into the waste ditch, they hurried and ran away with the soles of their feet greased.

Ning Zimo saw that everyone was gone, so he walked there cautiously, it was sparsely populated, and no one paid attention to this place at all, Ning Zimo approached with a twisted eyebrow, the stinky water in this waste ditch was stinking, and the stinky water was stirred just now, and there was a foul smell in the air.

After she wrote down this place, she hurried to the general's mansion, and then told people that her personal jade pendant fell into the ditch, and brought the people in her yard to salvage it in the waste ditch.

"Miss, you, this ditch is so smelly, maybe there are some poisonous snakes or something, do you really want us to go down and fish?"

The faces of several little guys are not very good-looking, in their eyes, the young lady's jade pendant is very much, and the lady is usually missing a piece or two, and the young lady is not in a hurry, why is this child still running thousands of miles to come to this waste ditch to salvage what jade pendant.

Yu Nu's eyes glared: "If you are told to catch it, you will catch it, whoever catches it, Miss will reward 10 taels of silver." ”

It is said that there must be a brave man under the heavy gold, and the average little guy's moon silver is only half a tael, and 10 taels of silver is enough to make them excited, and without saying a word, two people started to go down from the edge with bated breath.

Ning Zimo had been watching from the shore, not letting go of any big object at all, but he didn't have the big burlap bag that he had just thrown down.

Most of the day passed, and those little guys all looked pale and asked discouragedly: "Miss, where did your jade pendant fall, we have turned over this broken ditch, and we haven't seen it?" ”

Ning Zimo actually took only half an hour to go back and forth to the General's Mansion, how could such a big thing disappear if he couldn't see it, if it was said that there was still a possibility that the ordinary river was washed away by the water, but this was clearly a dead river, and the possibility of being washed away was almost zero.

Ning Zimo furrowed his brows and said solemnly: "Everyone has worked hard, forget if you can't find it, everyone who participates today will go to Yunu tomorrow to receive two taels of silver, which is considered a hard work." ”

In fact, it is not hard to catch things, but what makes them work hard is the taste, which can be described as stinking, but when I think of two taels of silver, they all have the spirit again, and they all smile and thank the young lady.

Ning Zimo's inquiring eyes looked at the stinky ditch again, and returned to the General's Mansion with a serious face, and on the way, she didn't understand what the problem was, this matter was like a seed, rooted in her heart.

When I returned to the General's Mansion, there were rumors everywhere in the General's Mansion that the second lady was disfigured, and at this moment, Aunt Wei was stopped outside the door of Qingshui Garden by Arnold, and said anxiously: "Auntie, the second miss said that she can't see you, you ........"

Aunt Wei slapped Arnold in the face, and ordered someone to pull Arnold aside, and she was about to push the door open, but found that the door had been bolted from the inside.

Aunt Wei was shocked when she heard rumors from the people in the house that her daughter was disfigured, and Ning Zixin's strange behavior in recent days made her mind that she must go in and take a look.

"Xin'er, you open the door and let my mother take a look, okay, Xin'er?"

Aunt Wei was actually extremely anxious in her heart, seeing that the people inside were just crying but not opening the door, she was so anxious that people smashed the door open from the outside, and after looking around, she found that her daughter was shrinking in the corner.

Ning Zixin looked like she was not a ghost, she heard the footsteps entering, clapped her hands indiscriminately and said, "Don't look at me, my face is fine, don't look at me, don't look at me." ”

Aunt Wei actually smelled a strong stench as soon as she entered the door, but she didn't care about anything else, she just ran to her daughter and went, but Ning Zixin didn't know where the strength came from, so she waved Aunt Wei away, and shouted in panic: "Mother, mother, you go out and call Arnold in." ”

Although Aunt Wei didn't see Ning Zixin's entire face, she saw a few black spots at her temples from the side, and accurately grabbed Ning Zixin's arm waving wildly, so that she could see Ning Zixin's face clearly.

Where is there still the original white and delicate face, some are just a face covered with foul-smelling abscesses, the face is densely covered with black acne, and some places are itchy so badly that Ning Zixin even scratched it, and the black blood condensed on her face, Aunt Wei subconsciously shook her hands and took a big step back.

It took a long time to take another big step, put his hands on her shoulders, and asked madly, "How did you get it like this, say, how did you get your face like this?" ”

Ning Zixin actually cried a lot, and when she heard Aunt Wei ask like this, she cried directly: "Mother, I don't know, I woke up five days ago and I was like this, I really don't know." ”

Aunt Wei looked at her daughter as if she didn't know anything, and she seemed to be stunned, and Ning Zixin was even more desperate: "Mother, what about the fifth prince?" If he knew that I had become like this, how could he still marry me? Mother, don't let him know, mother, please. ”

Ning Zixin's mentality has long been shattered, she doesn't dare to sleep at all these days, her eye sockets are also deeply sunken, her hair is scattered, it seems that she is an old woman, and she can't tell that she is still twenty-eight fragrant.

"Xin'er, don't be afraid, my mother will help you hide it from the five princes first, my mother will help you find the best doctor, you will definitely be cured, your mother will find the best doctor for you, don't be afraid, Xin'er."

"Aunt Wei, Aunt Wei, the fifth prince has brought a matchmaker to pay the salute."

Before Aunt Wei finished comforting Ning Zixin, a little girl came to tell Aunt Wei about it, and Ning Zixin shrank on the bed as if she had been stepped on her tail, and said in a panic: "He wants to know, he definitely doesn't want an ugly bastard like me, he wants to know, he doesn't want me anymore......"

She said these words over and over again, big tears rolled down the sheets, Aunt Wei looked at her daughter like this, and was even more reluctant, and hurriedly walked over and whispered: "Xin'er, don't be afraid, I'll go and see it first, don't come out in the room first, my mother will go and see it first." ”

After Aunt Wei said this, she left, looked back several times with anxiety, and said to Arnold, who was still covering her face on the side: "Take care of the second miss, don't let anyone step into the Qingshui Garden for half a step." ”

After that, there were many people left to guard outside the gate of the light water garden, and those who wanted to come in to see the excitement were stopped from the door.

"Yo, Aunt Wei is in a hurry to go to the front hall, bring your sister with you, anyway, there hasn't been any happy event in the General's Mansion for a long time, I also watched this Xin'er grow up, and I'm about to get married, I'm quite reluctant to give up."

Aunt Wei didn't have the heart to talk to Aunt Liu at the moment, so she didn't answer even if she sneered coldly, but she was thinking about how to stabilize the five princes first, and immediately gave an order and said: "Order that no one in the house is allowed to talk about the second miss." ”

The people around him immediately went to the housekeeper to tell him about the matter after receiving the order, but what is the use of such a warning, but in half a day, the words of the second lady of the general's mansion who may have ruined her appearance penetrated every layer of the city wall, and everyone knew about it.

When Aunt Wei hurriedly came to the front hall, Ning Zimo was also sitting next to Gong Xuanzheng, and the two of them seemed to have talked about something unpleasant, Ning Zimo faced Gong Xuanzheng with a cold face.

"Sick?"

As soon as Gong Xuanzheng heard that Aunt Wei said that Ning Zixin was sick, he got up and said, "Then the king should go and see her." ”

Aunt Wei was in a hurry, and the whole person who didn't care about the number of etiquette stopped in front of Gong Xuanzheng, blocking his steps, and said: "It's an extremely heavy wind and cold, and the doctor said that it is easy to be infected, so the fifth prince, this Xin'er is not suitable to meet guests at this moment." ”

Gong Xuanzheng smiled decently: "Then, let's put the gift I brought here today, and when her illness is cured, this king will use a matchmaker to discuss the marriage date, how about it?" ”

Aunt Wei nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "So good, so good." Or is it the prince, you are thoughtful. ”

Ning Zimo snorted coldly in her heart, this man left room for what he said, she believed that if Gong Xuanzheng didn't want Ning Zixin's illness to be cured, Ning Zixin would not be fine in this life, then Gong Xuanzheng would not be able to marry her for the rest of his life.

Aunt Wei also firmly believed that her daughter's face could be cured, and in the end she still had a hope in her heart, and after sending Gong Xuanzheng away, she hurriedly went to write an article and offered a high reward to the doctor.

Gong Xuanzheng actually didn't leave, and after leaving the main gate of the General's Mansion, he turned back and went to Huating Garden.

Ning Zimo was sucking the, in fact, she didn't feel any joy about the success of her plan, but her mind was still thinking about the sack that was thrown from the backyard of the palace to the waste ditch at noon, what was in it?

It's been a whole day, and at this moment the sunset has sunk in the west, and when Ning Zimo was feeding Xiaoli cat food, he found that there was a person standing in front of him, and when he raised his head and saw that it was the Fifth Emperor Palace Xuanzheng who was back again, he hurriedly got up again and saluted again and asked, "Why are you back?" ”

"It's dinner time, don't you mind if I stay for a light meal?"

Ning Zimo was stunned for a moment, and threw the cat in his arms aside, a certain cat was thrown out suddenly, and looked at Ning Zimo a little confused, and then turned around with a grudge on his face and pointed his butt at Ning Zimo.

Ning Zimo ignored it and asked Gong Xuanzheng, "What do you like to eat?" I'll let the kitchen do it for you. ”

Xiaoli didn't actually leave, but just looked at Gong Xuanzheng with a wary face, Gong Xuanzheng's mood was also not very good, and he said slowly and logically that he was full without eating a few bites.

Ning Zimo always felt that the atmosphere was weird, and Gong Xuanzheng glanced at Xiao Li before he was about to go out before he asked Ning Zimo: "Zimo, have you heard of a sentence?" ”

Ning Zimo also put the dishes and chopsticks, and said sharply: "The prince has something in his heart, just say it." ”

"Curiosity kills cats."

When Gong Xuanzheng said this with a smile, he squinted at the little separation that was coiled together.
