Aunt Zhou lowered her head in panic and looked at Ning Jiao's wrist, she remembered that when she came, she was told to take off her bracelet with thousands of instructions-

Mrs. Ning didn't pay attention either, and only then did she look at Ning Jiao.

Because she was wearing a washed and worn-out moon-white dress today, if she didn't look carefully at the edge of the sleeves at her wrists, she really couldn't tell that there was a bracelet there.

Ning Jiao's body stiffened, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand and turned her back.

The color of this mutton fat jade bracelet is excellent, and Mrs. Ning occasionally wore it a few times back then, and Ning Jiao had already remembered it.

On the day that Aunt Zhou swept away the Ning family's money, Ning Jiao ignored Aunt Zhou's persuasion, committed a crime against the wind, and sneaked into Mrs. Ning's wing room at the risk of being discovered, and took away her jade bracelet.

Wear it every day.

Aunt Zhou also reminded her to take off the bracelet this morning, but she couldn't put down the bracelet, as if it had become a part of her body, where was she willing to take it off?

thought that no one would notice if she wore a dress of the same color and carefully tucked the bracelet in her sleeve, why did Ning Shu see it as soon as she appeared?

"So you really took this bracelet?"

Aunt Zhou's heart to seek death and life is gone, and she seems to be angrily scolding Ning Jiao, but in fact, she wants to take all the blame on herself.

The concubine said that she wanted to sell the bracelet in order to survive, but Jiao'er cried and shouted to stop the concubine, saying that the bracelet was Mrs. How could she sell it, and one day the bracelet couldn't be found! It wasn't until she returned to Ningfu today that she was willing to take out the bracelet, and she must have returned it to its original owner. Jiao'er is really filial—"

Ning Jiao only felt that Aunt Zhou was quite scheming in the past, but now she is even more amazed by Aunt Zhou's imminent danger.

It's all hinted at this, how can she not understand Aunt Zhou's thoughts?

pushed Aunt Zhou away, took off the bracelet and handed it to Mrs. Ning, swallowing her tears and saying, "When Jiao'er saw this bracelet, she could think of her mother's appearance in the past and secretly hid it." Now that my mother has returned to Beijing, it is also time for the thing to be returned to its original owner. ”

Ning Jiao's voice is extremely pleasant, making people feel like listening to fairy sounds.

Coupled with her tragic crying, people can't bear to continue to hurt her verbally.

No matter how you say it, they are all girls who have not yet reached the end of time, and Mrs. Ning and Ning Zhengjie's hearts are really soft.

At the same time, he was even more disgusted with Aunt Zhou's shameless behavior.

Ning Shu looked at Ning Jiao disappreciatively, and was stared at by that clear Ling Ling's gaze, and Ning Jiao wondered with a weak heart.

Why is she so transparent today? Didn't you talk very little in the past, and you were still very inclined to Aunt Zhou and herself in everything like Mrs. Ning?

Mrs. Ning took the bracelet, which was the dowry left to her by her grandmother, and she cared more about it than she liked it.

Once upon a time, I cried bitterly because I lost my bracelet.

Now I see that the bracelet is well protected by Ning Jiao, there is no flaw at all, and the color of the eyes is gradually gentler.

"You've got a heart."

Ning Zhengjie used to be a little partial to the concubine Ning Jiao. In his opinion, pestering his little daughter all day long is more likable than Ning Shu, who is not good at words all day long.

It's not that he doesn't like Ning Shu, it's that Ning Jiao is better.

Now that Aunt Zhou has also clarified that she handled the affairs of the year, and then thinks that Ning Jiao was only twelve years old at that time, what can she say?

There is really no reason to spill anger on Ning Jiao.

"It's all a small thing, and it's what Jiao'er should do for her mother. I just ask my mother to forgive my aunt for Jiao'er's sake, she is really an unintentional mistake. ”

Ning Zhengjie has been an official for many years, less than flexible, never collude with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and there are actually not many in the house when he calculates carefully.

It's just that Aunt Zhou made Ning Zhengjie fall into an urgent situation, and she also lost her face and used the money received by his wife's mother's family, and the shame that went deep into his bones did not fade so easily.

"Jiao'er, it's useless for you to say more. Aunt Zhou was indeed at fault back then, and my wife and I were already merciful if we didn't pursue it. ”

"Master, the concubine knows that she is wrong, and the concubine repents every day, just asking the lord and his wife to return safely. With the blessing of the Buddha, seeing that the Ning family is safe, the concubine has nothing else to think about. is still the same sentence, I just ask the lord and the lady to treat Jiao'er well. ”

Aunt Zhou sat on the ground and cried softly, and the sleeves of her clothes used to wipe her tears were wet.

"The concubine will leave now, and she will never disturb the lord and lady again in the future."

She got up tremblingly, Xu had cried for too long, her brain was dizzy, and after staggering back a few steps, she fainted on the spot.

"Auntie-" The moment her eyes closed, she saw Ning Jiao's figure rushing towards her......

Of course, Ning Jiao was left in the mansion.

Aunt Zhou also temporarily settled in Ning Jiao's small courtyard because she was "unconscious".

After some rectification, the small courtyard was quiet.

Ning Jiao closed the door tightly, then quietly walked to the bed, and called softly: "Auntie, I secretly hid two steamed buns, you get up and eat some first." ”

The person on the couch first trembled his eyelashes, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"Is there no one outside?"

"Nope." Ning Jiao also saw the dilemma of Ningfu's lack of manpower, and it was so late to be able to arrange a place for her to live, and she was really "strong on the outside, and dry in the middle".

But it just so happened that she couldn't trust the people of the Ning Mansion at the moment, and it would be bad if they came to spy on them.

Aunt Zhou was helped up by Ning Jiao, picked up the steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth frantically.

"I don't know when I'm going to 'faint', be careful yourself, don't mess with anyone."

She said in a hurry, chewing on the dry steamed bun in her mouth, and almost choked to death without taking a breath.

Ning Jiao hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it to her, sat on the edge of the couch and patted her on the back of the heart, "Auntie, I don't see that Ning Mansion is as good as it seems." Is it necessary for us to come back in such a big way? ”

"You know what?" Aunt Zhou swallowed the steamed bun in her mouth and glared at Ning Jiao, "Your father was only a Shilang before that, although it is also a position that many people are jealous of, but you also know your father's temperament, Ning Fu has always been very poor. But now it's different. He was a high squire, and the man in the letter said that this was a great official of the third grade. ”

"Maybe the position of the secretary in the future will also be his, after all, your father is in the prime of life."

Aunt Zhou's eyes showed a trace of arrogant greed, and she stuffed a mouthful of steamed buns into her mouth and continued to analyze for Ning Jiao: "If you are lucky enough to be recorded in your name by your wife, your aunt will not have to worry about you for the rest of your life." But even if you are still a concubine, and you are also the concubine of the squire's family, it is not difficult to marry a high-ranking family. ”

"Speaking of that letter, who wrote it? How do you know we live in the south of the city? ”

"You know! As long as the letter is true, it will be done. What's more, you have indeed reached the age of marriage. ”

When Ning Jiao heard about her family, she couldn't help blushing.

In the past two years, Aunt Zhou bought a house in the south of the city with the money of that year, for fear of being recognized, she rarely went out.

At most, I only wander around the alleys, and most of them wear veils when I go out to shop.

She was unwilling to live in secrecy like this all her life, and with a little ingenuity, she got acquainted with the eldest young master of the richest family in the alley.

I didn't want to change into a noble girl in Kyoto again.

Fortunately, I only got acquainted with that son, and I haven't reached the point of talking about marriage.

Otherwise, her bowels will be repentant.

"Auntie, you say, do I have a chance to marry the prince and be a princess or something?"
