Peerless, proud and arrogant, 111: Gifts are still exchanged

Following those two sets of footprints, the slave maid and the phantom went all the way to the path leading to Ning's Orchid Garden, and then ......" Snow Shadow told Ling Wushuang in detail about the torn dress she and the phantom had found in this cloth bag, along with two pairs of embroidered shoes stained with mud. AI parrot

Ling Wushuang tapped his index finger twice on the table, looked at Xue Ying and said, "What do you mean is that when you arrived at Orchid Garden, in a secluded corner, you happened to see the two girls of the Ning family, using a small shovel to dig the pit and bury this bag of objects, and after they left, you stepped forward to take it out and rushed back to Meiyuan." ”

"Back to the master, that's right."

Snow Shadow and Phantom nodded one after another.

The soles of the embroidered shoes were stained with mud, indicating that the two of them had been to the bushes, because the soil in the bushes and the sunlight was weak, so after a light rain a few days ago, they looked a little soft, and the two of them went into the bushes, which would inevitably stain the bottom of the embroidered shoes with mud. The hairpins, rags, and torn girl's dresses show the nervousness of the two people at that time.

For fear of being seen, he walked in a hurry, and the hairpins on his hair and the skirts on his body were hung by the branches in the bushes.

Ning, I will give you this gift later.

Gifts are still exchanged, you wait patiently! Ling Wushuang instructed Snow Shadow to pack up the cloth bag, and thought with an evil smile on the corner of his lips.

When the snow shadow and the phantom entered the house, Xuanyuan Mo finally calmed down his mind, so that the fiery qi in his abdomen lowered, and then the feeling of heartache gradually disappeared.

His eyes were clear and clear, staring at the snow shadow and the phantom without blinking, listening to them tell Ling Wushuang about the origin of the items in the package one by one.

"Twins." Jing Anhou's voice sounded in the plum garden.

said that he wanted to come over to see Ling Wushuang, rather than talking, so Jing Anhou rushed straight to Meiyuan after Xuanyuan Qing and Ling Yuyan left.

Along the way, Jing'anhou's mood was as gloomy and heavy as this gloomy weather.

"The slave has seen Master Hou." The Four Shadows Qi saluted towards Jing'an Hou Shili.

Jing'an Hou made a "hmm" sound. Then he bowed to the stupid king, "The minister has seen Lord Lu." ”

The Silly King's eyes blinked twice, and instead of responding to Jing Anhou's words, he looked at Ling Wushuang. Ling Wushuang understood that the Silly King didn't know much about these etiquettes or anything, and said to Jing Anhou one by one: "You sit down!" ”

Ling Wushuang's words undoubtedly comforted Jing Anhou's heart a lot, he sat down on the chair that Qingying had moved over, and said: "The matter at the gate of the mansion, Daddy knows that it must have been done by the slut of the Ning family, and the matter of Junbao and the nurse just now is inseparable from her. When Jing Anhou said this, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "If Daddy had been desperate and refused the emperor to grant the Ning clan to enter the Hou Mansion, your mother would not have been gone for more than ten years and would not have returned to the mansion to see Daddy. ”

"You think that without the Ning family, my mother will not leave, so what does the Liu family say?" Ling Wushuang's expression was indifferent, and he said to Jing Anhou: "I heard that the Liu family is the concubine that the deceased old lady personally pointed out to you, can you go against the old lady's wishes for my mother?" ”

Jing'an Hou's tiger eyes instantly became gloomy, and he said: "Your grandmother is thinking that there is no successor to the Hou Mansion, so she will refer to the Liu family as a concubine for her father." ”

"In other words, even if there is no Ning family, if my mother has only one daughter in her life, the Liu family, or some other woman with a surname, you will also be by your side and inherit the Ling family?" True love, if you take a concubine for yourself because your lover did not give birth to a male heir, is this still called true love? Ling Wushuang was very suspicious of Jing Anhou's love for her mother.

"No, if your mother has always been by your father's side, even if there is only one daughter for you in this life, your father will not want a second woman to block your mother." Jing Anhou's tone when he said this was very firm. The problem is that there is no such thing in the world that he thinks he is, but if he breaks his promise, he is wrong, and if his mind is not firm, he is wrong, no matter how much he will say, no matter how much he regrets in his heart, what is the use.

If you knew today, why bother in the first place? Ling Wushuang sighed in his heart.

Maybe her mommy is right, the man in front of her is a good man, but the general environment here is here, respecting the monarch and filial piety, so she has two concubines by her side, which makes her mommy, who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, resolutely leave. But, in her heart, she still couldn't accept him sincerely, and even called him daddy.

Ling Wushuang knew the man in front of him, and he especially wanted to hear her call him like before, Daddy, Daddy.

Of course, she just couldn't call it out.

After not hearing Ling Wushuang speak for a long time, Jing'an Hou looked at Ling Wushuang with a pair of gloomy and decadent tiger eyes, "Daddy will go to deal with the evil woman of the Ning family later, if Shuang'er is not in a hurry to return to the palace, he will go over with Prince Lu to have a look." ”

"Look at the contents of this package first." Ling Wushuang untied the cloth bag on the table and showed it to Jing

In front of An Hou, he said indifferently.

"Where did you find this?" Jing Anhou swept all the objects displayed on the table, his dark face turned iron-blue, and a pair of tiger eyes, like a dark cloud covering the top, were dark and unknown, "Did you find it from Ning's Orchid Garden?" Jing Anhou seemed to ask Ling Wushuang, but in fact, he already had the answer in his heart.

Ling Wushuang nodded, "When I left from the pond, I instructed the two girls, Snow Shadow and Phantom, to carefully explore the bushes around the pond, and found some clues one by one, following these clues, Snow Shadow and Phantom found Orchid Garden, and the big girl Magpie and Cuckoo beside the Ning clan who happened to be seeing were filling in the evidence. The words that are neither light nor shallow, not salty or light, overflow word by word from Ling Wushuang's red lips.

She knew that the gift she gave to the Ning family today would make her unable to die at once, but she could still do it if she lost her skin.

In ancient times, when the master committed a crime, he generally let his subordinates bear the guilt.

Ning is not stupid, she must have thought about the way back for herself. didn't grasp the real evidence, just said that she caused the magpie and the cuckoo two girls, one to let the wind out, and the other to push the nurse to fall into the pond, she would definitely not admit her guilt to herself, so tossed down, undoubtedly made the house fight between the Ning family and the Liu family have two more victims.

It's really like a human life, and in a trance, it's gone.

Dead people, Ling Wushuang has seen a lot, and in her own previous life, she doesn't know how many people's lives she took with her own hands, she doesn't remember it clearly; It is incomparable to fight with this ancient house and let innocent people lose their lives. The people she killed, and those killed by her men, were all people who secretly cheated on their Ling clan,-for-tat, and committed the most heinous crimes, and if they were serious business partners, she would treat them with courtesy.

Jing Anhou's expression changed again and again on Ling Wushuang's face after Ling Wushuang's words fell, and he got up and said, "Go to Lanyuan with Daddy." ”

There is a play to watch, and this scene is still due to the credit of their master and servant, how can she not go? Ling Wushuang stood up and nodded, "Okay." ”

Taking advantage of the fact that it was not raining yet, Jing Anhou and Ling Wushuang and the Silly King, as well as the Four Shadows, walked quickly towards the Orchid Garden. As for the evidence on the table about the magpie and the cuckoo being buried, Snow Shadow carried it in his hand and brought it with him.

Coincidentally, the group walked into the Orchid Garden, sat down in the main hall, and raindrops fell on the cloudy sky.

"The concubine has seen Master Hou." Hearing that the little girl had arrived at the Orchid Garden, Ning came back from the pond, just under the service of the girl, cleaned up neatly, went out of the house with his heart, walked into the main hall of his courtyard, and bowed to Jing'an Hou.

Jing'an Hou snorted coldly and said angrily: "Ning, how long do you want to pretend to Ben Hou?" As he spoke, Jing'an Hou slapped his palm on the table beside him, and with a "snap", Ning's body trembled, "Master Hou, the concubine didn't do anything, for He?" Stabilizing his mind, Ning lowered his eyebrows and replied lightly to Jing'anhou.

She told herself not to be afraid, magpie and cuckoo did what the two girls did, if it was really exposed, she didn't have to be afraid, just because the two girls carried it for her. Moreover, her Yan'er is now a dignified princess of Qi, and the man sitting on the throne in front of her has to give Prince Qi a little bit of thin noodles, and he won't do anything to her.

I just don't know if the Ning family will be so optimistic about the punishment of Jing'an Houguo.

"It seems that you won't shed tears when you don't see the coffin." Jing'an Hou was stunned, and said to Ning in a cold voice, and then he ordered the guards waiting outside the main hall: "Bring the magpie and the cuckoo two cheap maids to Ben Hou!" ”

When Ning heard this, he still pretended to be calm, lowered his head and did not speak.

"The slave magpie (cuckoo) has seen Master Hou!" The magpie and the cuckoo, when the guards led them from their house to the door of the main hall, knew that their good luck had come to an end, but the expressions on their faces were quite calm.

"I will ask you again, did your master instruct you to do what happened at the gate of the house in the morning?" The murderous aura on Jing'anhou's body suddenly appeared, and the magpie was frightened, and the two cuckoos knelt on the ground and shook twice. The cuckoo is stupid, she only knows to keep her mouth shut, bow her head and keep silent, so that the magpie kneeling next to her has to say back to Jing'an Hou: "Back to the Hou Ye, the morning matter, the slave maid and the cuckoo have already told you, it is the slaves and maids who are not used to seeing the eldest lady bullying the master, so they will make their own opinions, take out the rhubarb of Lanyuan, and go to the door to scare and scare the prince Lu!" ”

The magpie's meaning was obvious, what she did with the cuckoo in the morning had nothing to do with the Ning family.

Subsequently, the magpie also thought that just because of the matter at the gate of the Hou Mansion, the lives of her and Du Juan would most likely be able to live for a while longer, happy? No, the magpie didn't like it at all, and when she pushed the nurse holding Ling Junbao in her arms into the cold water in the pond, her heart had already turned into dead silence.

Yes, she knows the causal cycle. People are doing it, the sky is watching, sooner or later, she will lose her life for the evil things she has done today.

"What about you, what do you have to say to Ben Hou?" Jing'an Hou looked at it

Xiang Xiang, who bowed his head and was silent, asked in a cold voice.

The cuckoo shook his shoulders, slowly raised his head and met Jing Anhou's eyes, lowered his head again in an instant, and replied in a weak voice: "Yes, it is the slave and the magpie's own master, idea." ”

"Really?" Jing Anhou's voice was raised, and then he asked, "Did you push the little young master and the nurse down the pond?" Did your master instruct you to do this? Or is it that the two of you have eaten the gall of the ambitious leopard, and you don't know the status of the little young master in the Hou Mansion, and you plan and calculate that the good nurse will take the little young master to the pond, and you will push her into the pond? ”

The aggressive words came out of the mouth of Jing'an Hou, as sharp as he killed the enemy on the battlefield, the magpie and the cuckoo shook their heads for a while, and nodded again for a while, and the Ning family who saw it was terrified, "Say! You guys tell Ben Hou, why did you put your mind on the little master? How could he be so ruthless to the little master? ”

With a "snap", Jing Anhou slammed his palm on the table again.

The coldness in the tiger's eyes was like a sharp sword, stabbing at the magpie and the cuckoo.

"Slave, slave maid, no nurse, no ......," the magpie replied in a trembling voice.

If there is no evidence, she will not admit it, and it is a day to live one more day. The magpie was thinking of luck and argued for himself in front of Jing'an Hou.

Ling Wushuang turned his head and glanced at the snow shadow standing behind her and the Silly King's chair.

Xue Ying understood, bypassed behind Ling Wushuang and the Silly King's chair, handed the cloth bag he was carrying in his hand to Jing Anhou, and then returned to his original position to serve again.

", what do you see all this?" Jing'anhou had a cold face, threw the cloth bag handed to him by Snow Shadow and threw it in front of the magpie and the cuckoo, "Open it and take a look, tell Ben Hou what you don't know?" ”

Fingers trembled, and it took a long time for the magpie to untie the cloth bag that Jing Anhou had thrown in front of her and the cuckoo.

In fact, when the magpie and the cuckoo saw the color of the cloth on the ground, their whole hearts had fallen into the ice valley and froze.

"Tell me, what else do you not know?" Seeing the miserable white appearance on the faces of the magpie and the cuckoo, Jing'an Hou immediately got up from his chair and roared angrily: "Say, did your master order you to do it?" ”

Ning Shi was frightened by Jing'an Hou's roar, his knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground, "Master Hou, the concubine doesn't know!" The concubine really doesn't know......" Ning looked at the magpie, the object in the cloth bag in front of the cuckoo and the two, and kowtowed to Jing'an Hou in a trembling voice.

Jing Anhou didn't care about Ning's words at all, and his voice was even more clear, "Are you still unwilling to tell the truth and this candidate?" ”

Silent, it was the magpie who answered Jing'anhou, and the cuckoo was silent.

"Come on, pull these two down and kill them for Ben Hou!" He still doesn't believe it, and when he dies, these two can still keep their mouths closed so tightly.

The guards took the order, directly picked up the magpie and the two cuckoos, and went to the courtyard.

The sound of rain, accompanied by the woman's pain, came into the main hall one by one, and the Silly King leaned towards Ling Wushuang's side, "Lady ......" saw the fear in the Silly King's eyes, Ling Wushuang comforted him warmly: "It's okay, they did something wrong, and they should be punished." ”

Unable to withstand the pain of flesh and skin, coupled with the magpie, the cuckoo already knew his fate, the two of them lay on the bench, looked at each other, and their eyes flashed with determination, and they bit their tongues one after another to end their lives, with all their hearts to repay Ning's gratitude.

The guards who carried out the staff duty saw the magpie, so that the two of them no longer had a painful sound in their mouths, and stepped forward to look at the two of them, and found that the corners of their mouths were bloodshot, and stretched out their hands to probe the magpie, and immediately went to the main hall to report to Jing'an Hou.

"Master Hou, those two girls bit their tongues and committed suicide, and they have died of anger."

"Throw Benhou to a mass grave!" Hearing the guard's report, Jing Anhou said coldly.

What he should have thought of was that with Ning's means, the two girls could do the unconscionable thing for her, and they must have been warned by Ning in advance, otherwise, no girl would rather die than confess to Ning.

"Ning, don't think that your two girls are dead, there is no way to take you."

Jing Anhou's tone at this time became calmer.

"Master Hou, the concubine really didn't tell those two to do anything, really, Master Hou! The concubine was in Lanyuan early in the morning, and then according to the order of the marquis, with the support of the little girl, she went to the main hall to greet the prince of Qi and the princess of Qi, and never left for a moment. When the little young master had an accident, the concubine and Princess Qi sat at the banquet in the flower hall, and they didn't move......"

Jing'an Hou raised his hand, stopped Ning Shi from pretending to continue, and said indifferently: "Thirty rods, if you are lucky enough to survive, you will be a cleaner in the mansion in the future." It's also considered a proper alignment

The princess has an explanation! After Jing Anhou finished speaking, he preached to the outside of the hospital: "Take the Ning clan down and scold thirty people." ”

"Yes, Master Hou!" A guard entered the main hall and clenched his fist towards Jing'anhou to receive the order.

Ning was stunned, and in a blink of an eye, she changed from a master to a subordinate, how can this be, how can this be!

She is the aunt of Princess Qi, the aunt of the future mother of the country, Jing'an Hou shouldn't treat her like this, yes, he shouldn't treat her like this, thinking of this, Ning got up from the ground, looked at Jing'an Hou and said: "Hou Ye, you can't treat the concubine like this, the concubine is the aunt of Princess Qi, and it is more likely to be ...... in the future."

"Take it down and carry out the cane." Jing Anhou didn't want to listen to Ning's nonsense anymore, so he went down whimsically, and ordered the guards again.

"Yes, Master Hou." Ignoring Ning's struggles, the guards dragged Ning out of the main hall.

"Shuang'er, Daddy is a little tired, go back to the main courtyard to rest first, you are here waiting for the guards to finish the cane duty, and then it is not too late to go back to the house with Prince Lu."

Jing Anhou looked tired, looked at Ling Wushuang and said.

"Okay." Ling Wushuang blinked and nodded in response.

The dark sky gradually brightened, the dark clouds dispersed, the sky gradually cleared, and the heavy rain falling from the sky also stopped unconsciously.

Ning, who was executed with a cane, was lying on the bench like a dead dog, his hair bun and skirt on his head were completely soaked by the rain, and the whole person looked very embarrassed.

"Master, it's time for us to go back to the palace." Qingying whispered in Ling Wushuang's ear.

"Well, let's go." Ling Wushuang sat in the main hall, listening to the wailing sound of Ning being scolded by the cane outside, almost asleep, after Qingying called like this, he slowly opened his beautiful eyes, and found that his left shoulder was slightly heavy, and when he turned his head to look, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth and chuckled.

It turned out that her stupid husband, like her, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The corners of Siying's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: My own master and King Lu really have a good saying, if you are not a family, you will not enter a family.

"Lord Wang, wake up, it's time for us to go back to the palace!" Ling Wushuang whispered to the sleeping Silly King.
