Chapter 11: Twists and Turns
When Zhen Guogong and Mrs. Ming heard this, they only felt cold all over their bodies, they could expect that the second girl was born with such a vicious mind at a young age.
Old Madam Ming was angry and said angrily: "You are simply vicious!"
Mingjing glared at her heart with hatred when she heard this, eager to tear apart the mouth of this sharp-toothed little girl. She suppressed the hatred in her heart, and said with a sad face on her face: "Grandmother, just by the words of a little maid, do you believe that your granddaughter who personally taught her to do such a poisonous thing?"
"I have been serving my mother for the past few days."
Old Madam Ming's face changed when she heard this, her eyes narrowed, and her face with the traces of time was full of coldness.
Is the second girl threatening herself?
However, without waiting for Mrs. Ming to speak, Ming Zhen said loudly: "The second sister means that the heart is slanderous, and you beat the third sister is pure slander, right?"
Ming Jing glanced at her, hooked her lips and said, "Yes!" Xin'er is the maid of the third sister, how can her testimony be believed. Besides, I treated my third sister well in the past, why did I beat her? Big sister, if you want to convict me of this crime, you might as well come up with a piece of evidence. Otherwise, there is no basis for empty words, but you will be responsible. ”
Ming Jing has always been used to being powerful and blessed in the second room, and she is not afraid at all, no matter how bad she is, there is Mingru as a substitute for the ghost.
Thinking of this, Mingjing glanced at Mingru coldly, saw that she lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, and said: "The day before yesterday, Mingru and I served in my mother's room until dawn. Mingru, don't you say? ”
Mingru was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes!"
Seeing that Ming Jing was so arrogant, Ming Zhen took out a jade pendant from his arms without hurry and presented it to Zhenguo Gong and Mrs. Ming, "Grandfather and grandmother, please take a look, this jade pendant is evidence." ”
It was a round jade pendant, a token of Ming Jing's marriage. Her future husband is Lin Kangnian, the eldest grandson of Cheng Guogong.
This jade pendant is also a tradition of the Lin family, and every time they are married, they will create a pair of concentric jade pendants to show the marriage contract.
When Ming Jing got this concentric jade pendant, she couldn't put it down and never took it off.
Zhen Guogong stared at Yu Pei, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt into flames, "What else do you have to say?" ”
Mingjing's face changed, and she felt a little panicked at this moment, but after a while, she came back to her senses, "That's not right." This jade pendant is still on me, why is it in the hands of the big sister now. Big sister, if you want to defend the third sister, why do you need to take me under the knife? ”
Ming Jing has always been sharp-tongued, and Ming Zhen has never been her opponent before. But now that Ming Zhen has lived one more life than Ming Jing after all, and he has stirred up the wind and rain in the treacherous hell, what is the little Ming Jing?
"It's still on you? Does the second sister have any evidence? ”
Ming Jing felt that Ming Zhen was not stupid, so many maids in her yard saw her wearing jade pendants.
"The maids in my yard have seen it!"
Ming Zhen shook his head, "The maid in your yard can't be a witness, it's like a heart." ”
"You!" Ming Jing reacted and said coldly, "There are so many maids, so many pairs of eyes, can they still be fake?" ”
Ming Zhen hooked his lips, and there was a hint of irony between his eyebrows, but if he looked closely, he didn't seem to have it.
"In addition to Xin'er, all the maids and daughters-in-law in Qinghe Courtyard, dozens of pairs of eyes have seen you beating the third sister. Second sister, as you said, there are so many pairs of eyes, how can they be fake! ”
Only then did Ming Jing realize that she had stepped into Ming Zhen's trap, and for the sake of a concubine, she wanted to maintain it like this. On that day, she should have been drowned in the pond!
"I didn't beat the third sister, it was Mingru who beat the third sister!"
Mingru kept her head down, she knew that she couldn't hide it, but after all, the person who did it was the second sister, and Mingru thought that she would be fine.
didn't expect that the second sister would really use her as a substitute for the dead ghost.
"No, no, grandfather and grandmother, it was the second sister who beat me, I, I just grabbed the third sister and didn't let her run away. It was the second sister who beat her, she kept slapping the third sister, and pinched her neck, her stomach, arms, and thighs...... I, I persuaded the second sister not to fight, but the second sister scolded me for being nosy, and said that she would beat me together. Mingru cried as she spoke, almost pouting.
Mingjing was so angry that she almost lost her breath, she didn't expect that Mingru, who usually poured out her heart and lungs for herself, would sell herself in the blink of an eye.
Ming Zhen didn't want to see them dog-eat-dog, so he said to Zhen Guogong: "Grandfather, the evidence is conclusive, and I ask grandfather to decide." There is a lot of noise outside, if this matter is over, I am afraid that the Kokugong Mansion will become the laughing stock of Kyoto. ”
Zhenguo Gong was so angry that he almost trembled, the girl in the dignified Guogong Mansion was so vicious and murdered the concubine, which was really shocking.
"Someone, escort the second girl to the yamen of Jingzhou Mansion!"
Old Madam Ming was shocked, "Master, no. In this way, this will lose the face of the Guogong Mansion, think twice! ”
Zhenguo Gong was so angry that he shouted: "Let the second girl hurt people, you will lose face!" Come on, get out quickly. ”
The guards of the Guogong Mansion were waiting in the outer courtyard, but when they heard the roar of the Guogong Mansion, they hurriedly ran in, looking at the two girls who were crying with pear blossoms and rain.
Ming Jing was really panicked at the moment, and tears poured out, she didn't want to go to the Yamen of Jingzhou Mansion, she went to that kind of place, her reputation was gone, and her family affairs were gone.
Mingjing cried and knelt down in front of Zhenguo Gong and begged: "Grandfather, please, Jing'er knows that she is wrong, don't send me to the Yamen." You can beat me and scold me, I don't want to go to the cell, grandfather beg! ”
Zhen Guogong had a cold face and waved his big hand, "Escort out." ”
The guard received the order, stepped forward and wanted to catch Mingjing, but found that Mingjing was grabbing the placket of Grandpa Guo's clothes, without the slightest trace of her former demeanor, she begged bitterly, "Grandfather, please spare Jing'er this time." Jing'er really knows it's wrong, please. ”
Zhen Guogong has always been upright, but he was furious at the moment, he even wanted to raise his foot and kick Ming Jing's chest hard, but he couldn't help it.
"Pull it down!" Zhen Guogong shouted loudly.
The guards hurriedly stepped forward, dragged Mingjing down, and dragged her out.
Ming Jing struggled desperately, her face was full of tears, and her eyes were full of hatred, "If I beat the third sister and have to go to the government prison, what about my father, my father almost killed my mother, should I also go to the prison cell?" ”
Old Madam Ming's face changed suddenly when she heard this, she stepped forward, slapped Ming Jing hard, and stared at her fiercely, "Shut up!" ”
Old Madam Ming was afraid that the second master's action would be known to the Duke of Zhenguo, so she hurriedly shouted, "Pull it down." ”
Mingjing was willing to let go of this opportunity, "Grandfather, a few days ago, my father was poisoned and murdered by Aunt Zhu, and then beat my mother, saying that my mother was unfair. Mother is still on the sickbed, and yesterday my father actually raised Aunt Zhu as a concubine. ”
"Dare to ask my grandfather, is my father's move right or wrong? If it's wrong, how to punish it! ”
