Chapter 57, there is a man in the back garden, and there will be a token in private
In a flower hall in the Marquis of Zhengyuan's mansion, the ladies from the Yu family are basically there, Mrs. Yu is sick and can't get up to entertain guests, and now the guests are the second-room Ning family and the third-room Liu family.
Yesterday, Yu Lanyan's matter was announced, and the wives of the Yu clan had great opinions about the Ning family, and after meeting today, their expressions were also very cold.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone knew that the Ning family and Concubine Ning in the palace were sisters of the same clan and had a very good relationship, I am afraid that they would have to question the Ning family face to face and how to discipline their daughters, so that the daughters of their Yu clan were tired of their reputation.
But thinking that the masters of each family agreed to exterminate Yu Lanyan in public after the funeral, this tone was endured a little.
However, Mrs. Xuanping Hou and the others did not dare to offend, and when they saw Mrs. Xuanping Marquis here, they had to squeeze out a little smile on the Ning family.
With the Qian family, at least on the surface, everyone looked quite kind, and they didn't deliberately provoke trouble with Yu Lanyan's affairs, even if it was a few old ladies, they just sat together and didn't pay much attention to the Ning family.
Ning pinched the handkerchief in his hand and was angry and hateful!
One moment heaven and one time hell, from heaven to hell, Ning didn't expect it to be so fast.
The night before Yu Lanxuan's wedding, Ning's family, like Yu Lanyan, didn't sleep well in the middle of the night with excitement, although Yu Lanxuan's self-immolation was accidental, but at least the matter was hidden, Yan'er also married to Xinkangbo Mansion, watching the sedan chair go out, Ning's heart was lowered.
The daughter married into the Xincombo Mansion, even if she has a bad reputation, as long as the Xincombo Mansion doesn't say anything, what can others say, as for the child, it is nothing if she was born two months early.
There is only the last sick child left in the big house, Mrs. Yu has written to the past, and he will come back in a few days, as soon as he arrives at the city gate, the people who are waiting there will kill him, and from then on the title is his own, and he has become Mrs. Hou, and everything is his own.
What Ning didn't expect was that the sedan chair actually made a mistake on the road, the sedan chair fell to the ground, Yu Lanyan poured out of the sedan chair, the secret of pregnancy could not be kept, and finally let a imperial doctor diagnose it, even if Ning and Xin Kangbo Mansion could not come back.
Knowing that something big had happened, the Ning family immediately gave gifts to several clan elders of the Yu clan, just asking for big things to be small and small things to be turned into small things, but I didn't expect the Xuanping Marquis Mansion to insist on removing his daughter from the clan, if the daughter is removed from the clan, the daughter can only be a concubine in the future, and she is also a cheap concubine, the lowest one.
"Cousin!" Sensing Ning's uneasiness, Qian gave her a reassuring look.
Ning looked at Qian gratefully and nodded, subconsciously looked up at the door, now this idea was thought up by her, and her cousin also thought it was very good, as long as something happened to Yu Xijiao, Xuanping Hou could no longer force his daughter to remove the clan, and forced Xuanping Hou to let go, otherwise Xuanping Hou's own daughter was also unchaste, and should also be removed.
A maid hurriedly ran in, and said loudly before she was inside: "Madam, Madam...... Oh no, caught a man. ”
In a word, all the people in the room turned their heads.
The Ning family and the Qian family glanced at each other, this is coming!
After settling down, Qian took two steps forward, and his face sank: "What's the fuss, it's not just the female relatives who came today, but also the male guests, why can't there be men." ”
"Madame, no, it's a young man...... Sneaked in, hid in the peach yard in the backyard, and was discovered by the backyard guard. The mother-in-law ran too fast, and at this time she took a few breaths and said, "What if...... If it weren't for his sneaky probe opening his head, as if he was waiting for someone, the mother-in-law in the backyard would not have found out. ”
"A private meeting in the backyard?" Mrs. You couldn't help but speak, and glanced at Ning sneeringly, "Mrs. Ning, you can come to whoever you want in the backyard of the Marquis Mansion." ”
"But no, let's ask, who is the private meeting this time?" Another lady pointed to Sang and scolded Huai.
"Didn't you inquire clearly? There's no ...... in the house right now Someone who can meet privately. ”
Listening to the meaning of these ladies, Ning Shiqi's fingers trembled, how dare these people allude to Yan'er.
It's just some dilapidated households who rely on the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion to make a living, how can they dare to say such a thing.
The hatred in her heart was not visible on her face, but a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, and when she became the lady of the Marquis Mansion of Zhengyuan one day, she would inevitably trample these people under her feet.
"Where are the people now?" Qian glanced at the ladies present with displeasure, and coughed lowly.
Seeing her speak, the other ladies of the Yu clan didn't dare to ridicule the Ning family casually, and looked at the maid ring who reported the news one by one, waiting for her to reply.
"The person has brought it, and he is waiting outside, and he will ask his wife to interrogate him." Yahuan Road.
"Bring people in." Ning's Road.
Yahuan obeyed the order, and after a while, she and two other mothers-in-law escorted a man in.
It was a young man, who looked pretty good, like a scholar, who was twisted by two mothers-in-law, pressed his head in, and said while struggling: "You let me go, and you still don't let me go, do you know that this is a humiliating text?" ”
was escorted in, and when he saw the ladies in the room, he was also stunned for a moment, and then pushed away the two mothers-in-law who were pressing his hands, and saluted the Ning and Qian families in the lead: "I've seen a few ladies." ”
"Who are you, why did you sneak into the backyard of my expedition to the Marquis Mansion, if you can't say it clearly, you can only send it to the official." Ning Shi looked the man up and down a few times, and reprimanded him coldly.
The man's face turned pale, but he didn't say anything, only looked at Ning vigilantly.
"The people who came to conquer the Yuanhou Mansion today are not rich and expensive, and there will be nobles coming over in a while, are you not an assassin?" Qian also looked at the man a few times, and suddenly sneered.
After speaking, he didn't look at this man, but only greeted the human: "The person who came came was sent directly to the yamen, and said that he was going to assassinate the Marquis of Xuanping." ”
I didn't say anything, I didn't plan to ask anything, I just planted people and sent them to the yamen, and I really lost my life if I was punished for the crime of assassins.
Seeing that the mother-in-law was really going to pull him out, the man also panicked and hurriedly said, "I...... What I want to see is Miss Yu San from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. ”
"What?"
"Who?"
"Which one?" There were a few ladies who didn't know about Yu Xijiao's return from Jiangnan, and after being stunned for a while, they asked in surprise.
There are also those who understand, pulled their clothes, and pointed to the south: "The one in Jiangnan." ”
"Yes, it was from Jiangnan, only a few days after I came, I also entered Beijing with Miss Yu, we walked together along the way, I passed the house today, and Miss Yu made an appointment with me, I was originally going to Xuanping Hou's Mansion, but Miss Yu said that she would have been going to Yuanhou Mansion today."
The man hurriedly argued.
"You walked all the way, into Beijing, or did Jiao'er make an appointment with you? What did you ask you to do? Qian said angrily.
"This ...... I really don't know, we ...... I haven't seen you for a long time. The man lowered his head, looking a little uneasy, and reached out to hold the bottom of his sleeve.
There was an uproar at the scene, this is because two people have a personal relationship, so they will ...... Secretly met again after all these days?
For a while, everyone looked at each other, and only then did there be a shameless Yu Lanyan, could it be that now the Xuanping Marquis Mansion is also going to have an accident, compared to Yu Lanyan, Yu Xijiao is still the granddaughter of the eldest princess An He, the ladies present, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do for a while?
"What do you mean, you mean you and Jiao'er...... Have a personal affair? Qian was furious.
"I'm not...... It's just the two of us ......" The man hurriedly defended, looked at the ladies present, and finally fell on the Qian family, suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to the Qian family: "Madam should be Mrs. Xuanping Hou, right?" I hope that Mrs. will be fulfilled! ”
Seeing that this is actually asking for marriage in person, this private affair has really been implemented.
Qian's face was pale, and he couldn't say a word, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the man, covering his chest with his hand and almost fainting, and Mama Xi, who was standing behind her, hurriedly reached out to support her.
The ladies present didn't know what to say for a while.
"See what's in his sleeve?" Ning suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the man's sleeve.
In the past, a mother-in-law reached out and pinched the man's sleeve and took a hairpin from his cuff, a white jade hairpin.
The mother-in-law respectfully handed it to Qian, Qian stretched out his hand to take it, and after seeing it clearly, his voice trembled and he couldn't think of himself: "This...... It's really ...... It's Jiao'er's hairpin, she ...... She only changed it in the morning, and ...... in the morning In the morning, I saw her hairpin, and she ...... How did she ...... How could it be ......"
"Give me back the hairpin, this is a special gift from Miss Yu San, and it is a token of our two loves...... Madame, give me back the hairpin. The man struggled to take the hairpin back, but several mothers-in-law held him down.
"Did Jiao'er send someone to you today?" Qian settled down and asked.
"Yes...... It was sent to me by Miss Yusan, this morning...... A girl found me and sent it to me, asking me to wait at the backyard gate of the Marquis Zhengyuan's Mansion today, and arranged for me to sneak in and hide, saying that Miss Yu San would come over...... Madame, return me. The man still wanted to stretch out his hand, his face was red and his neck was thick.
There is a private meeting at the backyard door, and with this hairpin is the evidence is conclusive.
The scene was quiet, and Qian's heavy gasping could be heard......
"Madame...... Slaves...... The slave maid saw Miss Yu go to the back door before. The timid voice of a mother-in-law broke the silence in the room.
It's a rough woman who helped escort her.
"You say!" Qian stretched out his hand to cover his chest, and he could see that his anger and hatred were hard to dissipate, and no one could bear this kind of thing.
"Madame, why let a mother-in-law say, let me speak first...... I don't know if it's okay? The mother-in-law was about to speak, when she suddenly heard a gentle voice from the door.
The crowd flashed to both sides, wearing a hat on his head, and Yu Xijiao, who was hiding her complexion, held Qingyue's hand and walked forward slowly, although she couldn't see her face, her expression was very calm......
