Chapter 4: The Affair

In the main hall of Furui Hall, Shen Manshu in the second room and He Wanyun in the third room stood beside Mrs. Jiang.

"Fifth princess, the girls from all the rooms of the Jiang family are here."

Mrs. Jiang has always liked to flatter and bully, Zhao Yuzan is Emperor Jinghuan's favorite princess, and her mother is Cao Guifei, who is the head of the four concubines in the harem.

Zhao Yuzan sat on a high seat, and the eight gong skirts embroidered with gold threads were dragged to the ground, exuding the unique luxury of the royal family.

"Which of you went to the Summer Palace yesterday?"

She looked arrogant, and when she asked, the beads and rings on her head rang, and the pair of Danfeng eyes were full of the sharp color of the person in a high position.

Jiang Ning chuckled in his heart, and suddenly guessed Zhao Yuzan's intention.

Xie Shenxu is the sister-in-law of Yong'an Houfu, and his mother, Princess Lanqing, is the eldest sister of Emperor Jinghuan, and she is the aunt of Princess Yuzan, presumably she has privately matched Xie Shenxu and Zhao Yuzan, and wants Zhao Yuzan to marry into the Xie family.

According to Xie Shenxu's temperament, he would definitely not marry such a princess who was favored by Emperor Jinghuan into the mansion.

So yesterday, it was really not Jiang Ning's luck.

"Grandmother, we all went to the second brother's promotion banquet early yesterday, but the sixth sister went late..."

Jiang Xueyi said lightly and thoughtfully, and this time also reminded Mrs. Jiang. The homework that Mr. left for a few girls every day was just a little, how could Jiang Ning spend several hours helping Jiang Xueyan with her homework.

"Sixth girl, have you gone there?"

In an instant, Mrs. Jiang's shrewd eyes fell on Jiang Ning, eager to see through her.

Shen Manshu and He Wanyun's eyes flowed, and they both looked at her tacitly.

"No wonder I didn't see the sixth sister at the promotion banquet of the second brother yesterday, I went to the Summer Palace."

Jiang Xueyan couldn't wait to catch Jiang Ning's mistakes, and no matter why she got into trouble with Zhao Yuzan, she fell into the well and added fuel to the fire.

Jiang Ning raised her head and glanced at Jiang Xueyi and Jiang Xueyan lightly, her eyes looked no different from the usual wooden appearance, but today it seemed to be hiding a fierce color, making them involuntarily shrink.

"You went to the Summer Palace?"

Thinking of the wound on Xie Shenxu's thin lips, Zhao Yuzan's guess deepened in his heart, and his eyebrows frowned deeply and glared at Jiang Ning, the majesty of being born in the royal family made people shudder.

Jiang Ning's clear eyes moved, but there seemed to be a rather embarrassed look between her eyebrows, I saw her pull up her dress, slowly knelt down and said to Zhao Yuzan: "Back to the fifth princess, this matter is related to the reputation of the Protector Mansion, please forgive the little girl for not being able to tell me." ”

"You dare to disobey the orders of the main palace?!"

Zhao Yuzan's voice trembled, and anger instantly crawled all over her delicate pink cheeks.

The ladies of the Jiang family were so frightened that they fell to their knees.

"Sixth girl, since you care about the reputation of the Protector Mansion, you should tell the truth, the fifth princess is a daughter, you said today that you can still protect the reputation of the Protector Mansion, if you wait for the fifth princess to find out the truth in person, it will be too late for you to say it at that time."

Zhao Yuzan's aunt Yang Shujin has been working for the royal family for many years, and her words are both soft and hard, and she also reveals a deterrent power that is above the Protector's Mansion.

"Ah Ning, listen to the words of the second aunt, and quickly said that the fifth princess can forgive you, if it's too late, the aunt can't do anything."

Shen Manshu took charge of the middle feed in the house, and after looking at the joints, he immediately took out the pie of the lady in charge and instructed Jiang Ning.

"Don't say anything more, I'll let Mama Zhang slap your mouth!"

Compared with Shen Manshu, Old Madam Jiang didn't have so much patience with Jiang Ning.

This basin is going to be buckled on her head.

Jiang Ning pursed her lips tightly, her eyes were full of tears at some point, and she looked at them softly and asked, "Grandmother and second aunt really want Ah Ning to say?" ”

She did this to ask Mrs. Jiang and Shen Manshu to admit in person in front of everyone that they forced her to say this.

"Say!"

Old Madam Jiang gritted her back molars, and Shen Manshu also nodded.

Jiang Ning forced herself to take a deep breath, her eyes seemed to be frightened red, she wiped her tears and lowered her head: "Yesterday, after I finished my homework for my fifth sister, I instinctively rushed to the banquet room before the time of the unitary time, but when I didn't want to pass by the Summer Garden, I found that the second brother was inside, and he was walking with Cousin Qingyao... Do unscrupulous things..."

"You talk nonsense! How can your second brother be able to climb indiscriminately?! You can really make up anything! ”

Shen Manshu's expression suddenly changed, and she interrupted Jiang Ning's words sharply.

The other ladies of the Jiang family all showed surprise.

Especially Jiang Xueyi, her fingertips turned white.

Shen Qingmiao is Shen Manshu's niece who has been raised in Qiyun Courtyard since she was a child, and she may know that she is under the fence, Shen Qingmiao has been extremely well-behaved and obedient since the day she stepped into the Huguo Mansion.

Especially when she grew up, her delicate and gentle appearance was revealed, and she fell into Jiang Yanzhou's eyes.

Jiang Ning innocently raised her eyes to look at Shen Manshu, and asked timidly, "But didn't the second aunt ask me to say it?" After breaking the second brother, I..."

"You still say!"

At this time, the one who interrupted Jiang Ning was replaced by Mrs. Jiang.

Jiang Yanzhou's promotion banquet has just passed, and this kind of ugly thing has happened, if it is known by the imperial historians, I am afraid that tomorrow he will be handed to Emperor Jinghuan.

"Fifth princess, the old body is not strict with the juniors, so I told you to see the joke. Today's things, I'm afraid..."

Old Madam Jiang acted very tactfully, and immediately bowed to Zhao Yuzan after cursing Jiang Ning and pleaded guilty, hoping that she could leave the Protector Mansion as soon as possible, so that they could close the door and punish the family affairs.

Zhao Yuzan was nurtured by Cao Guifei and grew up, and she was not a temperament that didn't think about things, Jiang Ning was able to tell such things that were bad for the reputation of the Protector Mansion, presumably it was not cheating, and she was lazy to meddle in other people's family affairs.

At the moment, it's not time to continue to ask.

"Swing!"

After she snorted coldly, Yang Shujin left behind her with the palace maids.

Jiang Ning straightened her back, and when she raised her eyes, she met the pair of vicious eyes of Old Madam Jiang.
