Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Tooth for a Tooth
On the martial arts field, the eyes of all the girls were focused on Jia Qianqian, this girl who was not a national beauty and a nondescript dress, could make the young master treat her so gently, which made everyone jealous and envious for a while.
Jia Qianqian's high fever had just subsided, and he was hung all night last night, and his body was really weak. But it was really not her Jia Qianqian's character to have revenge, so she tried her best to support her weak body, leaned on Nie Wuzheng, and walked forward slowly, with an annoyed gaze, sliding over the faces of those bright and delicate girls one by one.
In front of Aunt Fang, Jia Qianqian suddenly stopped, and Nie Wuzheng's heart sank, could it be that it was Aunt Fang who killed her? Fang Gu didn't give Qianqian a good face along the way, and it was not impossible to retaliate against her after returning to the base camp.
Fang Gu looked at Jia Qianqian, who was leaning on Nie Wuzheng, and her heart felt as if she had been cut by a knife, and the people in pain were almost numb. This Jia Qianqian was simply demonstrating to himself, and the hand hanging by his side involuntarily clenched into a fist.
Jia Qianqian showed a smile, nodded at her, said hello, and then continued to recognize people.
Somehow, Fang Gu felt relieved, as if she had done something bad and had not been discovered.
Jia Qianqian, the girl in the entire martial arts arena, watched it all, and at the end she shook her head and said, "There is no woman who lied to me and beat me yesterday." ”
Nie Wuzheng was stunned, all the girls in Xuancheng were gathered here, but they weren't all, could it be an older woman?
"Are you sure that the girl who lied to you was a girl in a girl's outfit?" Nie Wuzheng asked.
"Well, that girl has a very high nose, it's easy to recognize, and there must be no one in it!" Jia Qianqian has always been very confident in her memory.
Nie Wuzheng's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of a person, so he instructed the entourage behind him: "Bring a horse, I will go to Lu Mansion." ”
Jia Qianqian was still sitting in the small sedan chair, and Nie Wuzheng rode a horse, taking Nie Kaiping and a few entourages and went straight to Lu Mansion.
Elder Lu was in the mansion, and when he heard that the young master was coming, he was slightly surprised, and then went to greet the young master.
When Nie Wuzheng saw him, he said straight to the point: "Elder Lu, Wuzheng came here today because he had something to do with Lu Dong'er, and I hope that Elder Lu will call her out." ”
Elder Lu looked at Nie Wuzheng and a strange woman with a sick face with a puzzled expression, and when he saw that he was looking for Lu Dong'er, he asked strangely, "I don't know why the young master is looking for Dong'er?" ”
Nie Wuzheng said lightly: "When Lu Dong'er comes out, I'll know." ”
Although the elder is a very respected person in Xuancheng, after all, the young master is the biggest when the master is not there, and the more qualified elder is, to put it bluntly, also a courtier. Elder Lu then asked his subordinates to call his granddaughter out.
Lu Dong'er, who had a premonition that things were not good, arrived in the front hall refreshed, and when she saw the young master with a cold face, Jia Qianqian, who had a sick face, was stunned. As soon as Jia Qianqian saw her, he immediately pointed at her and shouted angrily: "It's her!" ”
Nie Wuzheng coldly ordered: "Nie Kaiping, tie up Lu Dong'er and take it away!" ”
Elder Lu was stunned, he didn't know what was going on, what did Dong'er do to make the young master so angry?
"Grandpa, grandpa! Save me, don't get kidnapped! Lu Dong'er panicked and pounced on Elder Lu with a crying voice.
Nie Kaiping came over, looked at Elder Lu, and then looked at Nie Wuzheng, not knowing whether he should carry out the order or not.
"Young master, what mistake did Dong'er make?" wants to kidnap Dong'er in front of himself, this young master is too faceless!
"Elder Lu, Miss Jia is my guest, when she first arrived in Xuancheng, she didn't know Lu Dong'er, and she had no hatred or resentment, but Lu Dong'er tricked her into the alley and knocked her unconscious, and then locked her in the basement and hung all night. Shouldn't we take it for interrogation? ”
Elder Lu was shocked, how could his lovely granddaughter do such a thing? "No, it can't be, right?" Lu Chang is honest and hard to believe.
"What is this?" Nie Wuzheng raised Jia Qianqian's hand and pulled the cuffs open, and suddenly, Hao's wrist was shockingly swollen. "Qianqian, she didn't have any martial arts at all, and she actually hung a weak woman all night, and she wanted to ask, why did Miss Dong'er endure such a poisonous hand?"
"I, I..." How can Lu Dong'er say it, she has actually been secretly in love with Nie Wuzheng, but she knows that she looks ordinary, although her family status is noble, how can she compare to Mu Fanggu, who is naturally enchanting and beautiful, and has the same noble identity? Fang Gu likes Nie Wuzheng, this is something that many young people know well, so she and Fang Gu have become good sisters, in fact, they just hope to realize their dreams in Fang Gu.
However, this time, Aunt Fang went out to tell her that she came back from a mission with the young master, which not only made Aunt Fang sad herself, but also shattered her dream. When Aunt Fang identified Jia Qianqian on the street to show her, she was even more furious, this unruly dressed and stupid bun didn't have Aunt Fang's good-looking girl at all, how could the young master spoil her so much?
As soon as his head was hot under jealousy, he tricked her into knocking her out and took her home, and after locking her in the basement, he was still angry and hung her up again. It's just that her eldest lady was in a good mood, and after dinner, she was busy looking at the novelty gadgets that Aunt Fang brought back for her, and she actually forgot about Jia Qianqian, and she didn't think about it until she woke up, and hurriedly asked the people in the house to take advantage of the scarcity of pedestrians in the early morning and throw her on the street.
"Dong'er, did you really do this?" Elder Lu also felt that the matter was tricky, and it was up to the owner to beat the dog, and the young master's intimate attitude towards the girl knew that their relationship was not simple, and Dong'er was too reckless.
Lu Dong'er hid behind her grandfather and decided to die and not admit it, "No, she is talking nonsense, I don't know her at all, I haven't done it!" ”
Before Jia Qianqian could speak, Nie Wuzheng became even more angry, "If you don't admit that you did something wrong, Elder Lu, go to the basement!" ”
Elder Lu couldn't, so he had to lead them to the basement. Many large households in Xuancheng have basements, which are generally used as ice cellars, but there is no ice here, but it also makes people feel cold and cold. As soon as the people entered, they saw ropes thrown on the ground. "This is it, I took a good look at it when I woke up yesterday." Jia Qianqian immediately recognized that this was the place where she was imprisoned and hanged.
"Lu Dong'er, do you still need to deny it?" Nie Wuzheng's voice was as cold as the ice of the Thirty-Nine Heavens.
"The young master, please calm his anger, and hope that the young master will look at the thin face of his subordinates and forgive Dong'er for his recklessness." Elder Lu had to pull down his old face and plead for mercy. His son died early, and his daughter-in-law couldn't bear the loneliness and remarried to Qi State, since then Lu Dong'er has become his lifeline, and because of his pampering, he has developed Lu Dong'er's reckless character of doing whatever he wants, and now his granddaughter has made a mistake, and he has to come forward to defend it.
"If it was Lu Dong'er who was hurt today, would Elder Lu easily forgive?" A word of forgiveness can offset her sins? So what justice and fairness is there in this Xuancheng?
"Young master... Elder Lu was speechless, his granddaughter had indeed gone a little too far.
"Take Lu Dong'er away!" After Nie Wuzheng gave an order to Nie Kaiping, he helped Jia Qianqian to leave.
"Grandpa, save me! Grandfather! Lu Dong'er burst into tears.
Alas! I knew why I had to do it in the first place. Nie Kaiping sighed in his heart.
The young master only said that he wanted to take Dong'er away, but did not say how to punish her, and Elder Lu was inconvenient to stop her, but comforted: "Dong'er, don't be afraid, apologize to the young master after you go, and ask him to forgive you once." ”
The crying Lu Dong'er was taken to the inner city's special torture hall for interrogating prisoners, Jia Qianqian went back to recuperate, Nie Wuzheng personally interrogated Lu Dong'er, he wanted to figure out why Lu Dong'er, who he didn't know, would poison Qianqian.
After all, Lu Dong'er was just a young aristocratic woman, and the eerie atmosphere in the torture hall frightened her legs and slumped on the ground, explaining what she had done yesterday. Regarding the motive of wanting to hurt Jia Qianqian, Lu Dong'er had to describe himself as the image of a friend with a knife in both ribs, and only said that it was to vent his anger for Fang Gu.
Fang Gu hated Jia Qianqian, and Nie Wuzheng knew it, so he finally ordered Nie Kaiping to hang Lu Dong'er in the cell overnight as a punishment.
When Elder Lu learned that his granddaughter was going to be hung overnight, he was distressed and united with Elder Mu to intercede.
In the main hall, Nie Wuzheng said coldly: "Lu Dong'er knows martial arts, you still know that you are distressed after being hung overnight, Jia Qianqian is just a weak woman, should she be bullied by anyone?" I haven't punished her yet, but I'm just letting her taste it. ”
"That Jia Qianqian is just an outsider, but Dong'er is the granddaughter of Elder Lu, the young master doesn't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, but also for the sake of his family in the base camp, spare Dong'er once." Elder Mu couldn't understand how the young master could defend Na Jia Qianqian like this.
"Jia Qianqian is an outsider? So what if I say I'm going to marry her? Nie Wuzheng finally said his true intentions in his heart.
These words stunned the two elders like thunder. "No way!" The two spoke in unison against it.
"Why?" Nie Wuzheng's face sank.
"Young master, Jia Qianqian is not from Xuancheng, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not have two hearts, not to mention that her father is also an official of Dayan Kingdom." Jia Qianqian's identity has been made public in the House of Elders, and these elders know that after all, it is not a trivial matter for the young master to bring back a woman who is not a member of the royal family to live in*.
"Yes, not to mention that she still has a marriage contract with the young master of Wujian Villa, and she is also entangled with Long Jie in the court, how can such a woman be the young master's wife of Xuancheng?"
"Her father has been removed, and she and the young owner of the Swordless Villa are also fake engagements, which is uncountable, and she and Long Jie are just acquaintances." Nie Wuzhen retorted.
"Anyway, the young master's marriage is not a child's play, this matter should be thought twice, and I hope that the young master will focus on major events, and the base camp is the foundation for great things." Elder Mu's voice, if you want to restore the country, you must rely on the people in the base camp and marry a wife. Naturally, I have to choose the woman from the base camp.
In fact, Nie Wuzheng was just testing the attitude of these elders towards his marriage, as for whether Jia Qianqian was willing to marry him, he was not sure, so he said coldly: "In this case, this matter can be discussed later, and the two elders will be busy." ”
The two elders said goodbye, only to find that they did not agree to Nie Wuzheng marrying Jia Qianqian, but Nie Wuzheng did not agree to let Lu Dong'er go. It seems that Dong'er will suffer the crime of being hung overnight, which is inevitable.
When Elder Mu went back to chat with Aunt Fang and inadvertently talked about it, Aunt Fang was shocked again. She didn't expect Dong'er to punish Jia Qianqian for her, and she didn't expect Nie Wuzheng to mention marrying Jia Qianqian so soon.
"Grandpa, what should I do?"
"What to do? What else can I do, I can only let Dong'er suffer a night of sin. "Elder Mu was helpless.
"No, I mean that the young master will marry Jia Qianqian, you must stop it." Fang Gu said urgently.
"Hmph, don't worry, grandpa will find him something to do, so that he doesn't have time to be distracted to think about his children's private affairs. As for Jia Qianqian, as long as she wants to go back, she will persuade the young master to let her go. ”
