Chapter 22: Secrets, the connection between past and present lives

When everyone looked back, they saw Ning Zuan, who was pale, standing outside the crowd with an old eunuch.

"Master Hou, I didn't expect that the eldest lady of your mansion was really powerful, she disposed of a minion, and even deliberately sent it to the gate of the daughter's courtyard to demonstrate, and a slave dared to shout and kill the master, but it was really an eye-opener for our family!" The old eunuch smiled, looked Ning Xueyan up and down, turned to Ning Zuan and smiled.

spoke directly, and did not leave Ning Zuan with any affection.

Ning Zuan's face turned blue and purple, and finally turned black, he was so ridiculed by the chief eunuch of Yiwang Mansion that he didn't dare to stand up to him, and all the evil breath was on the mother-in-law, and he didn't speak when he came over, a mother-in-law who kicked through his heart fell to the ground, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he couldn't stand up: "Dog slave, dare to bully the master!" ”

That kind of thing happened before, the court impeached him, and there was a book case of the emperor, if it was rumored that the Ling family bullied the weak girl, the master of the house is not the master, the servant is not a servant, this one is not strict in governing the family, and the crime of conniving at the murder of evil women will not be able to escape, and there will be no one who turns out the old things of the year, saying that he is a favorite concubine and killed his wife, then it will cause a bigger incident!

In the past two days, he has concealed his funeral because of his marriage, and he has been standing firm in the Feichao Hall, and now this kind of thing cannot be reported again! Moreover, the housekeeper in front of him, who is still the powerful and opposition-leaning King Yi, cannot afford to offend, and before the mourning hall, King Yi knew that the Ming family was poisoned and died.

So you have to keep it a secret!

Ning Zuan had already made up his mind at this time, looked at the mother-in-law who was still lying on the ground, not knowing that the time of death had arrived, and said coldly: "Don't pull this crazy slave who bullies the master down and beat the thirty boards hard." ”

Thirty big boards, where can an old woman like this withstand it, the mother-in-law was shocked, she didn't care about the blood on her lips, and hurriedly raised her head and argued: "Master Hou, it's the eldest lady......"

"The eldest lady asked you to kill the maid ring who killed the second lady, come and tell the fifth girl about the person, you are good, you actually carried the dead man to the Mingshuang Courtyard, whose order is this! Even made his own assertions, come on, pull down! Ning Zuan waved his hand, and the two people who came over pulled their mother-in-law and dragged them down.

The other Yahuan mothers-in-law saw that the general trend was not good, and immediately dispersed!

But I also understand that this Qingrui hurt the second lady, no wonder she wanted to be killed, the reason why she was dragged here is also the meaning of the eldest lady, the meaning of this, thinking about it, is more than one or two points......

Ning Xueyan stood quietly to the side, lowered her head, and hid the sneer in her eyes, Ning Zuan really protected the Ling family, and in a few words, although he had no choice but to say that Qingrui had harmed the Ming family, he also took the Ling family out, saying that the Ling family was just avenging the Ming family, but this mother-in-law made her own opinion, so she made it like this.

"This is the fifth girl of your mansion, and she is really a pearl-like character." The old eunuch smiled, and a pair of squinting eyes swept over Ning Xueyan with a bit of gloom, and said meaningfully.

"Father-in-law Ling is polite, this is the little girl, Yan'er, do you still have your mother's famous brand here?" This happened just now, and he was looked at by King Yi's people, and Ning Zuan also opened the topic quite embarrassed.

"I have one here, father, please wait a moment, bring it right away." Ning Xueyan nodded, turned around and asked Qingyu to go into the courtyard to get it.

The name of the brand is a sign inserted in the top of the ceremony when other families send the sacrifice, and the name of the deceased is written on it with snow-white cloth, in order to show respect for the master's family, this brand is very exquisite.

Of course, the Hou Mansion also prepared some of its own, in case of other places that need to be plugged in with famous signs.

But the entire Hou Mansion really made this kind of famous brand for the Ming family, only Ning Xueyan was here.

The brand will be taken after a while, the bamboo card is covered with snow-white cloth, whether it is the material, or the stitches, are extremely fine, at a glance you know that the person who did it is on the heart, it is written with Ming's name, although the handwriting is small but very beautiful.

"Well done!" Grandpa Ling nodded with satisfaction, the gloom on his face pushed away a little, glanced at Mama Han who was following behind him, turned around and strode away.

"The palace is going to send a sacrifice to me, why doesn't anyone pick it up?" Ning Zuan didn't leave, but frowned and asked Ning Xueyan unhappily.

If he had known that King Yi's Mansion was coming to send a sacrifice, he would have sent someone to the door to greet him, and he would not have made a flurry and knocked over the sacrifice, let alone hit the famous sign on it into the mud and stained the white cloth on it, which made the chief butler unhappy.

If it weren't for the fact that he was looking for a delicate famous brand to calm Father-in-law Ling's anger, in a panic and anxiety, Ning Zuan would take Father-in-law Ling to Mingshuang Courtyard, who would have thought that he would encounter such a scene.

"When my father asked my mother-in-law to inform me, I had already asked my mother-in-law to report to my father, saying that the royal ceremony was coming, so you should send someone to pick it up first." Ning Xueyan said unhurriedly.

That mother-in-law, Ning Zuan thought about it, and then remembered that the person was from the Ling family's courtyard, and now he must be going to report to the Ling family, and he actually took care of himself in vain, and only went to the Ling family to flatter him, and didn't take himself seriously at all.

How did the Ling clan discipline his subordinates, and a hint of gloomy anger flashed on his face.

He didn't say much to Ning Xueyan anymore, and left angrily with his sleeves thrown up, and the direction was the Ling family's Mingxia Courtyard......

Seeing him ignore him, Ning Xueyan sneered in his heart, this cheap father is really not a good thing, the Ling family threw the person who was killed to himself, he just ignored it, and even let himself suffer a dumb loss, but fortunately, he had already thought of a way to deal with it.

So the reason why he is so embarrassed today is because of the Ling family.

Ning Zuan would never blame the Ling family for being wronged by an unfavored daughter, but if his official reputation and the reputation of the Hou Mansion were threatened......

The funeral of the Hou Mansion, ushered in, and sent to, are not all the people of the Hou Mansion itself!

The Ling clan only thought about rectifying themselves, but they forgot that there were many people and mixed mouths, and the bad thing was the reputation of the Hou Mansion!

Things have been making trouble one by one for a while, Ning Xueyan estimated that Ning Zuan was already very annoyed, this would make such a thing happen again, and the mood was even worse, even if he believed in the Ling family again, the facts were in front of him, and the Ling family would not have "good fruits" to eat!

Sure enough, in the evening, Mama Han sent a message, saying that there was a commotion in Yunxia Courtyard, saying that Ling and Ning Zuan had a quarrel, Ning Zuan smashed a few pieces of porcelain angrily, and went to Aunt Ma's yard angrily, Ling was crying and making trouble in the courtyard, and he didn't eat dinner.

"Girl, the eldest lady is still crying in Mingxia Courtyard, and I heard that some things have been smashed inside." Mama Han lowered her voice and said softly.

"yes, I'm still crying!" Ning Xueyan showed a chuckle on her lips, took off her coat, and walked to the inner room, where Qing Yu had prepared hot water for her.

Ling, in the days to come, I'm afraid you won't be able to cry.

I don't know why, it's just a faint smile, but Mama Han has a bit of a cold ......

There was only Ning Xueyan in the inner room, and the steaming water vapor diffused, and Ning Xueyan's face was as pure white and crystal as snow, and her eyes were even darker.

She stood in front of the bronze mirror, pulled down the sleeves of her profane clothes, turned sideways, and through the bronze mirror, she clearly saw the white shoulders, that different place, the white and tender little hands subconsciously covered it, through the eyes of the bronze mirror, revealing a slight condensation and contemplation, reborn in Ning Xueyan's body, she never imagined that she would see this "pattern" again!

That mark, when she was still Ning Ziying, her mother told her thousands of instructions, thousands of instructions, so that she must not let people know, so every time she took a bath, she was alone, even the personal maid Xiang'er didn't know her secret, but now, she saw this mark on another person who had nothing to do with her previous self.

How can this be, how can this be......

The same part, the same pattern, subconsciously reach out to cover it, as if this can cover everything.

The heart that has not been beating for a long time is terrifying, and it is difficult to calm down for a long time!

This should be Ning Xueyan's secret, and it is also her own secret, I thought that in my previous life, I had taken my own secret, which could never be solved, to the underworld, but it turned out that this secret was still on her, how not to make her frightened!

She will never forget the surprise on her face when her mother told her about it in her previous life, and she couldn't stop it.

It seems that there is a providence in this darkness, the original self was forcibly pressed by the Ling family and daughter, drowned in the lotus pond, and the original Ning Xueyan also cried to death in the mourning hall, and then she was reborn in Ning Xueyan's body, but she discovered Ning Xueyan's secret.

All of this indicates that this matter is not simple!

Putting down her hand, her immature little face had regained her composure, and she had an idea in her heart, and she would definitely keep this secret until everything came to light......

"Girl, the water is not hot, do you want the slave to add some more to you?" Qingyu's voice came from outside the house.

"No, that's fine." Ning Xueyan said lightly, turned around and stepped into the bathtub, the warm water temperature passed from the limbs into her body, making her feel like she was really alive, but even looking at such warm water, her heart was still nervous, and the feeling of being drowned in the water that day instantly rushed to her heart.

Bright red blood, a feeling of suffocation and bursting in her chest, a weak struggle, and a few hands pulled her hard and pressed her into the water!

The hand subconsciously covered her chest, her face became pale, and her white and tender forehead was slightly sweaty, but she still sat in the bathtub, gritting her teeth, without making a sound, and the corners of her clenched lips were first white, and then faint bloodstains.

Because she drowned, after being reborn, she was inexplicably a little more afraid of water, even if it was the water in the bath bucket, after she went in, she also had a feeling of suffocation from being drowned at that time.

However, she didn't want this to become her weakness, so she had to overcome it, leaning on the edge of the bathtub, trying to ignore the feeling of water surrounding her and turbulent waves, and slowly regaining her consciousness through the pain at the corner of her lips, she was now Ning Xueyan, not Ning Ziying who had drowned.

She was taking a bath now, not being pinned down in a lotus pond......

"Mama Han, why hasn't the girl come out yet, do you want to go in and have a look?" Seeing that there was no sound in the inner room for a long time, Qingyu said worriedly.

"It's okay, the girl has always liked to take a bath alone, she may be too tired today, wait a while, if you don't come out yet, it's not too late to ask!" Mama Han sighed, thinking that her girl was so young, she had no support, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

The girl is tired these days......
