"Daddy, it's good for my daughter to come by herself."

"It's better for Daddy to feed you, your maid in the province said that my lord doesn't care about your life or death."

As he spoke, he also glanced at the jade slave who was waiting on the side, and when the jade slave heard this, he took two steps back very embarrassed.

"Daddy, you ignore your daughter for so long, your daughter's heart is so sad, if you are pregnant and call your father, you don't recognize your daughter, your daughter will beat the child now, as long as it is ......"

"What nonsense, if something happens to your child, the emperor will not let go of the old man, you are not only pregnant with your own flesh and blood, but also the descendants of the royal family, how can you say that you will be killed. Besides, don't bully your father is a general who doesn't understand your daughter's thoughts, crying, making trouble and hanging yourself are your women's usual tricks, no matter how bad it is, there is always a way to force your father to go out, today's play, you sing wonderfully,"

Ning Zimo's face was blue and white for a while, and then she glanced at Ning Guodong embarrassedly, and said softly: "Daddy, my daughter can't help it, who let Daddy, you always ignore me, my daughter is pregnant, but this is your own grandson." The daughter and her grandson are kneeling outside the door, if you can still be hard-hearted and not go out, then the daughter is really useless. ”

In the past, that Jiao Niang would be coquettish with him if he had something to do, and he agreed nine times out of ten, but now fifteen years later, Ning Zimo is coquettish with him, and he has softened his heart.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, the old man is also planted in the hands of the two of you, drink the medicine and rest early, you know, Daddy, I'm still busy."

Ning Guodong actually didn't get angry with Ning Zimo because of this incident, he was even more distressed about this matter, and he felt sorry for the good daughter he raised to be like an outsider.

But he was angry with Ning Zimo because of Ning Tiancheng's matter, and Ning Ziting sued Ning Zimo in front of Ning Guodong, and said that Ning Tiancheng had brought people to Ning Zimo's Huating Garden to make trouble before, saying that Ning Zimo directly abolished Ning Tiancheng's legs and feet in order to establish his authority in the General's Mansion.

In fact, when he first returned to the General's Mansion, Ning Guodong didn't believe that Ning Tiancheng had become mute if he was good, and now Ning Tiancheng was like a waste person, eating, drinking, and Lazar all relied on people to serve.

Ning Guodong originally only had Ning Tiancheng's son, and now he still called his daughter crippled, to be honest, Ning Guodong's heart was tormented, but he was reluctant to scold Ning Zimo, and even Ning Tiancheng's matter, Ning Guodong chose not to question Ning Zimo.

Ning Guodong saw that Ning Zimo had finished drinking the bowl of tonic soup, and then asked Ning Zimo to rest more, and then left.

After Ning Ziting left Ning Guodong's study before, he was not in a hurry to go back to his Mingyue Pavilion, but went to a cold and remote place, where someone was already waiting, and when he saw that the young lady was coming, he immediately walked over.

"Ready?"

"It's all set." The person who said this was a person who specialized in catching snakes, and the breath of the whole person looked as cold as those snakes.

Ning Ziting's eyes flashed with hatred, and the man's gaze also looked at a bamboo basket over there, and then walked over and asked casually, "Are they all poisonous?" ”

"Yes, poisonous snakes are not easy to catch, the price is ......"

"You have also worked hard, and this price will naturally not lose you." As she spoke, she motioned for the person to open the lid, and there was a thumb-thick flower snake coiled on the exit of the cage, which startled Ning Ziting, and the snake always had a fishy smell, Ning Ziting covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and left a long way away in an instant, and it took a while to swallow the nausea, take out a silver nail from his arms and hand it to this person.

"Well, this is the twenty taels of silver that Miss Ben promised you, you can take it."

"Twenty taels, didn't you say thirty taels, Miss?"

In order to catch those snakes, he went to the cold and damp cave, and was almost bitten to death by a poisonous snake before, if he didn't carry the medicine with him, it is estimated that his life would be explained, and he was ready to temporarily increase the price, but he didn't expect it to be less than expected by ten taels of silver, and this person didn't do it.

"You do one more thing for me, in that pond of our house, there are a lot of carp, and it's a little monotonous, and you put these snakes in it. Miss Ben will give you another twenty taels, how about it? ”

"These snakes are all poisonous, you are in a high-ranking compound, what if the girl who comes and goes is bitten by a snake?"

From the very beginning when this person Ning Ziting found him, the premonition in his heart was not good, this person had already made people suspicious if he let him catch poisonous snakes, and now this has to be put in the backyard, these snakes don't have eyes, what can they do if they bite someone.

"It's okay, it's very remote there, if there's nothing to do, no one will go by."

The remote pond in the mouth of Ning Ziting is the path that Ning Zimo must pass to return to Huating Garden, at this moment Ning Ziting knows that Ning Zimo has not returned to Huating Garden, and she can also know every night that Ning Zimo will definitely go out to her father's study after dinner every day, she pinched the hour, laid a trap, and waited for Ning Zimo to fall in.

She smiled coldly, that person seemed to be afraid that something would happen, and after listening to Ning Ziting's order, he poured all the snakes into the pond, and those snakes scattered in an instant, each finding a dark corner to stay.

Ning Ziting stared at the snakes in the pond that had dispersed and sneered, and imitated in his mind step by step, Ning Zimo came over there later, those snakes smelled the bloody breath on Ning Zimo's body, and they would definitely attack Ning Zimo.

She learned from Ning Zimo's frightened appearance, ran in the direction of Hua Tingyuan, and by the way, she also threw a lot of pebbles on the road....

Seeing that the backyard was already full of lights, she estimated that Ning Zimo should be back soon, so she didn't stay long and went back to her Mingyue Pavilion.

I don't know when the wind has picked up outside, the evening breeze is blowing, and there is still a muffled thunder rolling in the sky, it seems that it is going to rain at night, these can't affect Ning Zimo's good mood now, and the jade slave is supporting Ning Zimo who is full of joy at the moment to walk on the sheep intestine path in this backyard to Huating Garden.

"Miss, you, it's just that the master can't bear you."

"That's it, I'm fainting in time today."

"Yes, I see that old man's face is pale with fright." While speaking, Yunu stopped and sniffed in the air, and then exclaimed, "Miss, where did this blood come from on your body?" ”

Just now that Ning Zimo was lying in the room, Yu Nu didn't notice that she was walking on the road, as a secret guard, she sensitively smelled the faint smell of blood on her body, and after a closer look, it turned out that there was a large area of blood that had not dried up at the hem of Ning Zimo's skirt.

Ning Zimo looked at it with a twisted eyebrow, but her mind was not here, so she didn't care: "Xu where did you get it, just go back and change your clothes later." By the way, did you hear what Ning Ziting said to Daddy before? ”

Yu Nu held a lantern in one hand, and helped Ning Zimo up the steps with the other, approached Ning Zimo and whispered: "I heard clearly, I was talking about the eldest young master, the fourth young lady said that the eldest young master became a cripple, all because of you, and also said that since the old master left Beijing, how you have bullied those sisters in the mansion, Miss?"

Ning Zimo, who heard this, twisted his eyebrows and wondered, "Isn't this something out of nowhere?" The matter of Ning Tiancheng, even if my father asks me, I am not afraid, it is that Ning Tiancheng has a hurtful heart in front of me. But when did I oppress those sisters, why is she spreading rumors like this now? ”

It's no wonder, when she was at the door of the study before, Ning Zimo saw that Ning Ziting looked at her in her gaze, calm, which made her feel panicked, it seemed to be mixed with endless resentment, although it was not heavy, but it really existed.

"Did you think she knew something?"

"It shouldn't be possible, if these four young ladies knew, she would definitely tell Fifth Miss about everything, according to Fifth Miss's impulsive temperament, wouldn't she rush to Huating Garden to question you earlier? Only the slave and maid knew the inside story of the original matter, and even Arnold only knew one thing but didn't know the other, even if the fourth lady found Arnold, she couldn't ask anything. Miss, just be relieved. ”

The words were whispered, and the master and servant whispered all the way to each other and walked back, but the two of them quickly realized that something was wrong.

They were passing by a small pond with carp and aquatic plants at the moment, and the backyard was also lit up, and the koi under the lamp were lively, but the jade slave found that those carp were active in the pond, and there were more than a dozen colorful snakes, and they smelled the breath of people, and the snakes twisted their bodies quickly, and rushed towards the master and servant.

"Miss, snakes, a lot of snakes, go, go." The jade slave saw that those snakes were coming towards them, and immediately helped Ning Zimo to run into Hua Ting Yuan.

There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in spring, and this weather looks like it's going to rain, snakes have always liked damp and cold places, but so many snakes are running towards Ning Zimo and Yunu in unison, it is really weird to the extreme.

There was actually some distance from Hua Ting Yuan, Ning Zimo was naturally afraid of these legless things, seeing so many snakes at this moment, just hearing their cold and spitting out their tongue made her scalp numb, let alone seeing how many snakes there were, she just walked towards Hua Ting Yuan.

However, walking too fast, in a panic, Ning Zimo stepped on a few pebbles that appeared abruptly on the path, and one of his feet slipped and he was about to fall due to uneven force.....

The snake was afraid of fire, and the jade slave lit all the lanterns, so she didn't care about Ning Zimo's side, and when she heard Ning Zimo's exclamation, it was too late, and Ning Zimo had already fallen heavily to the ground.....
