She motioned for the maid behind her to step forward and open the box, and some of the onlookers couldn't help but let out a "ah", the box contained a small beast named Wingwang, the size of a cat, but with only one eye on its face, and three big furry tails growing side by side behind it. It's just that it's dead.

Chu Ning had already understood that Princess Ankang had never thought of being at peace with her, but instead borrowed someone else's hand. After all, if she was taught a lesson by the Meng people, she could only blame herself for not knowing the rules, and even going to the banquet could cause trouble.

There are only a few famous families in Lindu, and when considering marriage, they are not willing to surrender their identities easily, so they always marry each other in these families. Therefore, the four families of Su, Xue, Meng, and Qing are all somewhat related to each other strictly speaking. This Mrs. Meng, who used to be the daughter of the side branch of the Qing family of the historian, had a good relationship with Princess Ankang before she got married, and she could be regarded as a close friend in the boudoir.

Chu Ning turned back to look at Mama Kong Niang, who was in charge of arranging the gifts: "Is this something that the second aunt asked you to prepare for me?" ”

"Yes......" Kong Niang looked at Mrs. Meng, and then at Chu Ning, and knelt down with some trepidation, "However, when she was sent out from the handmaid, she was still alive." The princess was afraid that it would run away, so she specially ordered someone to add a ban to the box, and when the maid sent the box out, the ban was still intact! ”

"When I first opened it, the ban was fine, but the things inside became like this," Mrs. Meng snorted coldly again, her gaze swept over Chu Ning's face, "Moreover, I just asked someone to check it, this winged beast was poisoned by someone with medicine, and the poison was wrapped in a curse and sent in, and nothing was broken by breaking the ban." ”

In the uproar of the guests, Mrs. Meng said coldly: "The flesh of the winged beast is very effective in treating rheumatism, and the old lady of our Meng family, every season, will have sore limbs and can't sleep well at night. This poisoned person is really ruthless, thinking that even if we find something wrong, we can't bear to watch the elderly in our family suffer from illness, and we will still use it to try. Tell me, what would happen if the old lady ate the poisonous flesh of this winged beast? ”

"If you eat it, presumably the old lady will also be poisoned," Chu Ning stood up, "Madam has already thought through the matter, why ask knowingly?" ”

She raised her hand and fiddled with the body of the winged beast: "Madame, don't say it too absolutely, for example, now, Madame found out that something was wrong, didn't she take it to relieve the old lady's pain, but came to question me." ”

"I've heard a long time ago that you're a tongue-in-cheek child," Lady Meng wasn't as angry as Princess Ankang, "but there are some things that are useless, and when I come up with evidence, you won't have anything to say." ”

She turned back and nodded to the maid at the door, who hurried away, and soon brought with her a sheep that looked like an ordinary goat, but with two heads around its neck.

Mrs. Meng raised her hand and touched both heads: "Although I am not proficient in spirit control, I also like to raise some rare birds and beasts. This one was given to me by my husband, and its name is 'Identification'. It has a wonderful point, its two heads can be distinguished, whether the different spells are from the same person, and the origin of each person's spiritual power is different, and there is no way to change it at will. ”

She pulled a hairpin from her head and picked open the body of the Winged Lookout Beast: "Although the curse wrapped in poison has been eaten beyond recognition, the remaining fragments are enough to find out the real culprit." ”

"Don't say that you've never practiced the Spirit Control Technique," Madame Meng picked up a bit of crumbs and fed it into the mouth of one of the heads of the Distinguishing Sheep, "The events on the day of the Pure Sound Festival may be a bit accidental. Just now you were fighting with these young ladies in the backyard, and my two daughters saw it, and they would never lie. ”

She beckoned Zhong Xuan and Ji Ying, and still said to Chu Ning: "As long as you take out the Yuan Luo Zhu and let the sheep smell it, you will know if you did it." If not, this is your chance to clear your name. To be fair, Xuan'er and Ying'er can give it a try first. ”

When Zhong Xuan and Ji Ying heard their mother's words, they both took off their Yuan Lu beads from their foreheads and shook them a few times in front of the sheep. The sheep let out a "bleat" from its throat, and both heads shook together.

Xue Niannian saw it, and also got up from his seat and untied his Yuan Lu Bead: "Not to mention the two young ladies of the Meng family who saw it, you just fought with me personally, don't dare to do it." ”

This time, he even turned his head and ignored Xue Niannian's Yuan Lu Zhu.

Xue Niannian took the lead, and several other ladies who came to the banquet also stood up one after another and raised their Yuan Luo Zhu in front of the sheep to prove that they had nothing to do with this matter. Only a few young ladies who were indeed unable to practice the spirit control technique due to their innate limitations looked at Chu Ning and whispered.

Mrs. Meng walked up to Chu Ning: "Why, don't you even want to prove your innocence?" Won't or won't you dare? ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Madame," Chu Ning showed her usual smile, "Madame, haven't you heard that I'm a person who has never condensed the Yuan Soul Bead at all, Madame's ability to distinguish sheep is indeed magical, but I don't need it." ”

"Then there is no way," Mrs. Meng sighed helplessly, "If the other people who come to the banquet are all suspicious, they can only leave you behind." When will we find out the truth, or Miss Chu Ning can give us a reasonable explanation, and then go back. It's not that we Meng want to embarrass you, but the matter is related to the safety of my old lady, even if I am willing to forget it, my husband will definitely refuse. ”

This Mrs. Meng has always had some means to rectify the back house, in a big family like the Meng family, her husband and her four daughters were born to her, and the concubines did not come out.

Some people have already quietly calculated in their hearts that if they fall into her hands, Chu Ning will lose her skin if she doesn't die.

Just when people thought that this little girl, who rarely went out before, was going to panic, Chu Ning walked to the side of the sheep and raised his hand to touch its two heads: "Who said that everyone ruled out suspicions?" ”
