Chapter Seventy-Seven: Lifting a Rock and Shooting Yourself in the Foot

"What's going on?" Ming Lanying asked puzzled, but the Duchess of Dingguo hadn't spoken yet, and no one dared to explain to her on Twitter.

The kneeling maid on the ground looked at her like a ghost, she obviously saw her being helped in with her own eyes, why did she appear here, who was in there!

Now the brighter Ming Lanying's smile is, the faster the maid trembles, The Duchess of Dingguo was relieved to see that Ming Lanying was fine, and she was also relieved, there was an accident at such a big banquet as the Spring Festival Banquet, and she was the host.

"It's okay if you're okay, the people in the other courtyard are not right-minded, and they are about to be dismissed." He turned his head and said to the two mothers-in-law in a deep voice, "Clean up the things inside, and drag out the ungrateful thing on the ground."

Ming Lanying playfully looked at the maid wailing and begging for mercy at her feet, even if the three of them lost their lives because of her indirect reasons, but at the moment there was no regret in her heart, if she didn't do this, then she would be the one who died today.

Commander Ye's wife was caught in bed and it was useless to justify, even if she was cheeky to live, her Ning'er would be poked in the backbone for a lifetime because of her mother.

If Ming Jiazhen dares to do this disgusting method, he must dare to bear this cause and effect.

"This girl is so sad to cry, if it were me, I'm afraid I would be reluctant to be such a 'heartfelt' subordinate."

The Duchess of Dingguo heard the meaning of her words, and looked coldly at the maid who kowtowed and begged for mercy, and the Zhang Pozi beside her had been with her for many years, and she was familiar with her thoughts, so she took a sip, "This girl has found a good master, and the Dingguo Mansion can't accommodate her big Buddha, so she found a good place to go." ”

The maid was stunned for a moment, and crawled to Ming Jiazhen's feet with tears in her eyes, "Girl save the slave!" The girl saves the slave! The slaves and maids did what you commanded, girl! Girl, be merciful and save the slave! ”

Everyone looked at Ming Jiazhen with strange eyes, Ming Lanying also looked at her coldly, Ming Jiazhen was stupid, and hurriedly hid to the side, "You did something wrong, I can't save you as an outsider, this girl is crazy, drag it down." ”

Of course, it is impossible to convict Ming Jiazhen of guilt because of the maid's words, it will only make others have some different opinions about Ming Jiazhen, the two strong mothers-in-law directly stepped forward and covered the maid's mouth and dragged it down, and the two people in the room also put on their clothes, covered their mouths and were tied and dragged away.

Ming Lanying saw that the white-faced little man was still out of condition, and felt a little funny in her heart, I don't know if I was used and lost my life, where did Ming Jiazhen find it.

Mrs. Yong'anhou and Duchess Dingguo glanced at each other, squinting at Ming Jiazhen with a smile, "This is the famous seventeenth girl of the Ming family, right?" How do you know the maid in the Dingguo Mansion Annex? ”

"Madame, don't make fun of me, how can I know this maid who committed the crime, it must be that this maid is sick and rushes to the doctor, and everyone shouts for help when she sees her."

Ming Jiazhen's face was calm and calm, and no one saw that the handkerchief under the wide sleeves was about to twist into a twist, Qin Meiyanjiao smiled and broke through the surrounding crowd.

"It's me late, why are there so many people here? Jiazhen's niece, what's wrong? Why are there so many people around? ”

Ming Lanying raised her eyes and looked, Qin Jiyan was smiling like a flower, followed by a delicate lady with a cold expression, who was six points similar to Ming Jiazhen, and thought it was Qi Ningshuang, the serious lady of the Ming family.

Ming Jiazhen saw Qi Ningshuang and immediately rushed over with tears in her eyes, and shouted "Mother" aggrievedly.

Ming Lanying and Hebai looked at each other silently, Hebai secretly hid in the crowd, Qi Ningshuang was not easy to deal with, and it was a good hand to let Hebai hide in the dark and stare at it.

Ming Lanying was still muttering in her heart, why were two of the three people she met always cold beauties? This wonderful fate......

"The little girl is not sensible, please don't blame the lady." Qi Ningshuang first bowed to the Duchess of Dingguo, and then turned around to appease Ming Jiazhen, "You little child, what are you doing to watch the excitement so much?" ”

"My daughter heard the maid say that the eldest sister was inside, and she fainted for a while......"

Qi Ningshuang nodded her forehead, and said coquettishly: "If something happens, you should tell the adults first, you rushed to the front for your eldest sister with a dull head, but you were entangled by this offending maid who saw that you were kind and soft-hearted, and made a misunderstanding, your eldest sister is used to acting freely, how can you worry about it, go back with me to rest, rest for a while and change your clothes, didn't you make an appointment to paint with the lord of Fu'an in the afternoon?" ”

"Yes, my daughter knows that she is wrong."

The etiquette was in place, changed the topic, picked Ming Jiazhen cleanly, and hacked her by the way.

Ming Lanying stood behind the Duchess of Dingguo, Qi Ningshuang's superfluous eyes didn't look at her, Ming Jiazhen softly and weakly admitted her mistake, and bowed to the Duchess of Dingguo to leave, and the Duchess of Dingguo simply asked her subordinates to take the guests to the courtyard to rest.

"It was I who neglected the discipline of the people in the other courtyard, so that everyone saw the jokes, and everyone was tired, so let's disperse first."

Ming Jiazhen followed Qi Ningshuang and turned around to leave, two cuckoos flew in the air, and two lumps of unknown liquid dripped down, coincidentally and unfortunately, both of them dripped on Ming Jiazhen's head, and the milky white liquid with yellow-green solids slowly flowed down the hair texture on the top of his head.

Ming Jiazhen's whole person stiffened, pinched the handkerchief and wiped it on her head, looking at the paste on the handkerchief, her face was blue and white for a while, and her whole person was shaking with anger.

Ming Lanying hooked her lips and smiled, and hid behind the Duchess of Dingguo, Qin Jiyan exclaimed, and everyone who was about to leave looked at it when they heard it, and when they saw the liquid slowly spreading on Ming Jiazhen's head, they were all stunned, and gloating was indispensable.

Qi Ningshuang was also stunned, and immediately turned back to her and wiped the top of her hair for her, and whispered to reassure, "Stabilize your temper and leave quickly." ”

Ming Jiazhen was not angry, stared at the clear sky, and the two culprits were long gone.

As soon as Ming Jiazhen walked on the front foot, Hebai laughed out loud on his hind feet, with Hebai taking the lead, and there were also a few people watching the play, who also gloated and laughed.

The Duchess of Dingguo coughed twice, the laughter in the courtyard quieted down, and the servants took the guests to the courtyard one after another.

A farce can be regarded as having no end but an end, and when the maid hurriedly came to report, everyone thought that Mrs. Ye was really so bold, but she was just a subordinate. It's not a big deal, it almost ruined the reputation of the Dingguo Mansion, and the Duchess of Dingguo also executed her subordinates, and saved her reputation with vigorous and resolute means, so no one took it to heart.

During the lunch break, the Duchess of Dingguo changed the yard for Ming Lanying and them, and Hebai observed Qi Ningshuang in the dark for a while, and her intuition told her that Qi Ningshuang was a terrible person, and returned to the house and sat cross-legged on the couch with some boredom and pondered.

Ming Lanying coaxed Ning Er to take a nap for a while, and sipped tea in the small hall next to her with her feet crossed, "I have already asked the people from the other courtyard to go to the carriage to spread the word, and the people in the house will come later, rest for a while and change clothes." ”

When Hebai heard this, he fell back with confidence, his clothes wrinkled slightly, "Sister-in-law, you said it earlier!" I thought we were dressed like this! ”

They are not used to following the servants around them, and some things will be inconvenient to move, so this time they only brought a maid to help them carry things, and they did not bring them with them, so that she and the coachman chatted together.

Ming Lanying glanced at her, it was her first time to participate in the capital banquet, but the royal steward in the mansion would remind her what to prepare, how could Hebai, the daughter of the You family, banquet Xiaobai like her!

"You still have loose tendons, right?"

Hebai's wrist flipped, and out of nowhere, three small thin bamboo tubes were sandwiched between the tips of his fingers, "Carry it with you, one tube can be at your mercy, hehe!" ”

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows and chuckled, hooked her fingers at Hebai, Hebai's eyes lit up, and she leaned over, "Give you a task, let Ming Jiazhen eat the soft tendons, and then ......"

After hearing this, Hebai took a deep breath, and then showed a lewd smile, "Bad or sister-in-law is bad, hehehehe-"

Ming Lanying's fingertips wrapped around the broken hair on the crane's white sideburns, and said softly: "Tonight, the Duchess of Dingguo invited the most famous pear orchard in the capital, I heard that there is a new play, everyone has not seen it, it is very fresh, you have to open your eyes tonight and take a good look." ”

"Okay."

After a while, the little maid hugged the change of clothes, followed by Tang Ning, who had not been seen for a long time.

Ming Lanying looked at her in surprise, "Why is Ah Ning here!" ”

Hebai was also excited, "Sister A-Ning! ”

Tang Ning smiled and pinched his face one by one, "I heard that you were here for a long time, and I looked for you everywhere for a long time, but I didn't expect so many things to happen, I couldn't squeeze in, fortunately you are fine, but I'm worried about death." ”

The little maid knew the habits of the masters, and sensibly put down the burden and quit to wait.

Tang Ning was relieved to see Ning'er, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, through the bead curtain, "What's going on today?" I was startled when I heard the news from someone else, and it was a false alarm. ”

Ming Lanying was afraid that she would be too careful, so she explained to her one by one, Hebai did not forget to add oil and vinegar to the side, Tang Ning did not doubt them, and after listening to it, she was even more angry, and she couldn't wait to slap the table and slam the door to find Ming Jiazhen to settle the account.

"Ming Jiazhen was so ruthless at a young age, and she didn't let go of the eldest sister of the clan." Tang Ning looked murderous with a cold face, "Don't worry, I will definitely come out for you with this breath, just a little girl, when it gets dark, she will directly let people put a sack and clean it up, and throw her face into the mountain bandit's nest, if she dares to treat you like this, I will make her the laughing stock of the whole capital!" ”

Tang Ning didn't think about so many twists and turns, she has been in business for many years, and sometimes when she deals with a villain in the gutter like Ming Jiazhen, it is more relieving to solve it neatly.

Someone to help you come out will always make people's hearts warm, Ming Lanying hooked Tang Ning's arm and leaned on her shoulder, "Okay, okay, I don't let her bully, I already have an idea, just tonight." ”

Ming Lanying simply told her about tonight, Tang Ning's first reaction after hearing it was to breathe a sigh of relief, and Ming Lanying looked at her.

"You don't think I'm too vicious?"

Tang Ning shook his head, hugged her and patted her, "How come!" She has bullied you like this, if you swallow your anger, I will be 'impressed' by you, I just hate that I can't just take her life, so that she can no longer hurt you! ”

Tsurubai grinned, "It's not easy to get her life?" ”

Ming Lanying flicked her brain with her backhand, "She is the most valued junior of the Ming family now, if something happens, the Ming family will definitely investigate to the end, the risk is too great, it is better to leave her life first." ”

"You're almost killing her, but it's not a loss." Tang Ning smiled, "Do you want me to help?" In tonight's play, there are just the people available. ”

"That's great, thank you Ah Ning!"

Tang Ning has been doing business abroad for many years, and she has many and wide contacts, which is an unexpected joy, it can save her a lot of things, with Tang Ning here, Ming Lanying can improve this plan even more.

The ladies and ladies here need to take a lunch break, but the men on the other side rarely take a lunch break, and they are tired of playing with archery and pitching pots, and most of them are drinking tea and talking under the pavilion, and the matter of the other courtyard quickly spread.

"Are the current maids and white-faced students so bold? How dare you do such a reckless thing in the courtyard of your master! ”

"Hey! You know, it's all about fun! ”

"Lost your life for the thrill of the moment? You really understand. ”

"Hey! Don't talk about this, this white-faced little student is one less, and I don't know if I can sing the new play tonight? ”

"That's going to have to be! This Dingguo Mansion spent a lot of money to invite them to sing this play, and it was their troupe's problem that this happened, and it was already tolerant if they didn't let them make amends, if they couldn't sing because of this lack of a white-faced student, then they would be killed! ”

"That's right."

In the afternoon activities, Ming Lanying didn't see Ming Jiazhen, and even the good sisters around Ming Jiazhen stayed away when they saw her.

Tang Ning shirked the invitation of the little sisters over there, and took Ming Lanying and a few people to the shooting range, "Let's go, there's nothing fun here, they will have to compete in poetry and song later, the color is also average, it's boring, take you to play with bows and arrows, loosen your muscles." ”

"Okay."

Ming Lanying looked back at the little girls who were in groups of three or two in the distance, and they were all together, and they were looking at each other, and they were scared like frightened birds when they saw her turn around.

Ming Lanying grinned, laughing wantonly, she was not afraid that these little girls would talk about her, but the more they talked about her like this, the more they were afraid of her, so that she was more relieved, since they couldn't become friends, it was better to let them be afraid of her and dare not provoke her again.

The shooting range is very large, and there are also young ladies playing together in pairs, cheering and applauding from time to time. Tang Ning took Ming Lanying and a few people to find a place away from the crowd to play, and Hebai took Ning Er to excitedly pick a light bow and try it, and they were happy to teach and play.

Ming Lanying leaned on the wooden railing on the side and watched happily, Tang Ning played with the sachet tassel on her waist, and with a wave, she could also draw out the sound of whipping in the air.

"The people over there in the theater have already made arrangements, when will they pass?"

Ming Lanying raised her hand to block the dazzling sunlight, "It's still early, I'll send it over before dinner." ”

Tang Ning looked in the direction of the courtyard from a distance, "I didn't see her come out in the afternoon, but the second lady of the Ming family was talking to each other." ”

"I'm afraid she won't have the face to come out for the time being."

Ming Lanying leaned close to her ear and muttered a few words, briefly mentioning the fact that Ming Jiazhen was drenched with bird feces when she left, and Tang Ning's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Really?"

"Of course!"

The two cuckoos were specially arranged by her, just to make her ugly.
