Chapter Twenty-Eight: Saving Life
Ning Zheng's eyes were so terrifying that Ning Junse shrank in fright, lowered his head in frustration, and left without saying a word.
Mrs. Shizi hurriedly chased out, "Jun'er! ”
Ning Jun paused and replied in a low voice, "Mother." ”
Mrs. Shizi walked slowly in front of him and said softly, "Your eldest brother is just too sad, don't take it to heart." ”
Ning Jun responded, "I know, I don't blame the eldest brother. ”
Mrs. Shizi smiled, "Good." It's my mother who has neglected you all these years, and today my mother cooks your favorite hibiscus cake, okay? ”
"Okay."
Ning Jun's voice was almost inaudible like a mosquito.
Mrs. Shizi thought that he was still sad because of Ning Zheng's murder of him, but she didn't know that it was actually her who really made him sad.
Hibiscus cake is not Ning Jun's favorite, it is Ning Zheng's.
Ningguo Mansion Study.
Duke Ning Guo and Duchess Ning Guo sat opposite each other.
Ning Guogong poured a full cup of tea and said in a deep voice: "Since Concubine Sun wants to get rid of the princess of Duanyang County, let's help her." ”
Duchess Ning Guo hesitated, "But if it weren't for Concubine Sun coming up with such a trick, Zheng'er wouldn't have ended up where she is now." ”
Ning Guogong glanced at her, "Then what do you want?" Is it because Ning Zheng and Concubine Sun are against each other? ”
"That's impossible, Concubine Sun won't allow us to be enemies with her." Duchess Ning Guo retorted without thinking, "But we can pretend to be deaf and dumb and advance by retreating." Su Su is the queen, and the emperor loves her very much, isn't it safer to be in our government's mansion than to stand on the side of King Qi? ”
"We have been on the side of King Qi since we took the throne, and you know how much effort we have made for this. It was her own choice to become the queen, and it had nothing to do with us. We don't have the skills of dragons, but we are just ordinary relatives. But if we support the king of Qi to ascend to the throne, we will not only have titles, but also real power. ”
He and Duchess Ning Guo are young couples, and they like to discuss everything. Even if there is a disagreement between the two, he is willing to explain patiently.
Duchess Ning Guo still felt sorry for Ning Su in the end, "Ke Su Suna, will the concubine really keep her promise to let her live?" ”
"Yes. Madam, the big picture is important. Ning Zheng is now reaping the consequences of his own evil, and he can only be blamed for being stupid. ”
Duchess Ning Guo nodded, "I know." ”
It's not that she didn't see what Ning Zheng looked like, Ning Zheng didn't take the initiative to explain to them after doing those dirty things, so that they were caught off guard when things happened.
Although she felt sorry for Ning Zheng's experience, she still knew which was more important than the fate of the entire Guogong Mansion.
The Ningguo Mansion is a generational lord, as long as you don't make any big mistakes, your children and grandchildren will be prosperous and rich.
It's just that she and Guogong are not people who sit back and enjoy their successes.
Now the Ningguo Mansion is in full swing by relying on his in-laws, but in fact, he does not have much real power in his hands, and only Ning Guogong himself is an official in the entire Ningguo Mansion.
This is not what they want, and this is also the reason why Ning Guogong cultivated Ning Zheng with his heart.
Now that Ning Zheng is gone, fortunately they are still healthy and have time to cultivate Ning Jun.
"You go and arrange it, Jiang Yuhuan can't stay anyway."
"Good. However, Concubine Sun tried every possible way to get rid of Jiang Yuhuan, why? ”
Ning Guogong took a sip of tea and said, "I mentioned it later, Concubine Sun intends to let Qi Xiaoyu, the concubine of Zhongyibo, marry into the county prince's mansion. ”
Duchess Ning Guo was even more puzzled, "Qi Xiaoyu is simple-minded, how could the concubine choose her?" ”
"It's easy to control with a simple mind, the concubine and the queen mother both want to put people next to the county king, and it seems that they want to find something in the county king's mansion. But the king of the county is cautious, and ordinary people can't get in. In the past, they wanted to make up their minds to the princess of the county, but the princess of the county bit to death and couldn't get married, and they couldn't help it. The king of the county suddenly took a concubine, and they thought it was a good time, so they wanted to give marriage. The Queen Mother took the lead and let Jiang Yuhuan sit in the position of the princess of the county, but the concubine was naturally unwilling. ”
After knowing the reason, Duchess Ning Guo also understood.
What they are looking for is very important, and they must not let the Queen Mother find it first.
"Then Jiang Yuhuan really can't stay any longer."
The Ningguo Mansion was pondering how to get rid of Jiang Yuhuan, and the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion was also hotly discussed.
"Hand over Jiang Yuhuan to me, this time she will be crying and begging for mercy."
"You haven't eaten enough?!"
Zuo Xiang rarely takes care of family affairs, and this time he can alarm him is really a big trouble.
If it weren't for Zhou Zhe's acquaintance and delaying the case, I don't know how the matter would end.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Sun Qi is sober and calm enough, and he doesn't make a lot of noise like Ning Zheng, and during the trial of the case, the focus is rarely on him.
Concubine Sun was his daughter, but she had always had the right idea and was unwilling to discuss with her, and she did not even tell him about the use of her nephew.
The daughter-in-law learned that it was Concubine Sun's idea, and she wanted to go to Concubine Sun to theorize, so he had to come out to suppress it.
He blamed everything on Jiang Yuhuan, and also said that Jiang Yuhuan had to get rid of it.
Sun Qi responded immediately, and said with a gloomy face that he wanted to do it himself.
He just planted a heel in Jiang Yuhuan's hands today, how could Zuo Xiang promise him to mess things up.
"Today is my underestimating enemy, and next time it won't."
Zuo Xiang's tone was unquestionable, "There is no next time." Leave this matter alone, just stay put. If you have nothing to do, think about Sun Qi's heirs. ”
"Yes, we know."
——
Jiang Yuhuan is rarely idle, and Fu Yinghan's attitude towards her has also improved recently, perhaps because she wrote a note, so there is no longer murderous intent in her eyes.
She thinks about how to let Fu Lingyi take care of the errands every day, and she stays at home all day.
In the past few days, the news of Ning Zheng and Sun Qi's rape has been rampant, and although the case has no result, everyone has already determined that the matter is true.
Especially the news that the women who complained were raised in Beizhuang by the people of Ningguo Mansion leaked, and everyone went to Beizhuang to watch and confirm the news, and even confirmed the charges of the two.
For a time, the call for Shuntianfu to arrest the two and put them in prison was extremely high, but Shuntianfu always had only action.
It wasn't until Shuntianfu arrested a few people in Shuntianfu on charges of disrupting official business that everyone stopped.
"The princess of the county."
Jiang Yuhuan was lying on the couch on all fours, holding a fan in his hand and fanning it quickly.
It's so hot in the summer that you can't feel cool with ice in your room.
"Done?"
"Hmm. When the slave returned, someone handed the slave a note. ”
Jiang Yuhuan held the hand of the fan for a moment, looked at Sanqi, and said with a smile: "Sanqi, that's good, someone has sent love letters!" ”
"The princess of the county!"
Sanqi's expression was serious, and Jiang Yuhuan put away his smiling face, "Okay, okay, no kidding." Who sent it? ”
"I don't know, the princess of Yojun will meet you in the No. 1 box of the Tianzi Tea House today."
Jiang Yuhuan looked arrogant, "If he asks me, I have to go?" ”
"It says on paper, if you want to live, you can go, wait until Shenzheng, and don't wait for it to expire."
Jiang Yuhuan was suddenly unhappy when he heard the threatening words, and threw the fan, "If you are so arrogant, I won't go." ”
Shen Shi.
Outside the teahouse.
"Sanqi, do you see it? Who's sitting in the box? ”
Jiang Yuhuan hid in the corner of the teahouse, stretching his neck and looking around.
She's still here, who told her to spare her life?
Sanqi stood aside expressionlessly, much more stable than Jiang Yuhuan.
I don't know, I thought it was the daughter of which family, and the maid who didn't pay attention.
"With the window closed, the slave and maid can't see."
"It's a drip-tight character." Jiang Yuhuan straightened up, patted his sleeve, and said seriously, "Let's go, I'll meet him." ”
She walked into the teahouse and went straight to Tianzi No. 1.
Sanqi stepped forward and knocked on the door, and then a clear young voice came from the room.
"Wait a minute."
Jiang Yuhuan looked at the sign in the box suspiciously, it was "Tianzi No. 1", yes.
Isn't it a little kid who is playing tricks on her?
Just as she was hesitating to observe in the dark, the door suddenly opened, and a handsome and slightly immature face appeared in front of her.
"Princess of the county, please come in."
Jiang Yuhuan pointed at himself, "Do you know me?" I haven't seen you. ”
"Come in and talk about it." The teenager leaned sideways to give way.
Jiang Yuhuan and Sanqi walked in, and the young man looked around vigilantly, and then closed the door.
He turned around and bowed, with a good demeanor, and at first glance he was the son of a large family.
When he reported his door, Jiang Yuhuan suddenly felt that things had become very interesting.
"You said you are Ning Zheng's own brother, Ning Jun?"
"Yes."
Jiang Yuhuan sat down slowly, propped his elbows on the table, his chin dragged with his palm, and his index finger with his other hand was tapped, "Think about it, your brother should have pushed everything that happened to me on." You know that I have an enmity with him, but you still make a private appointment with me, and threaten me with your life. ”
Ning Jun explained unhurriedly, "The princess of the county has misunderstood. I didn't threaten with my life, but in order to save the princess of the county, I came to report the news. ”
"Tell me about it."
Ning Jun didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point, "My grandfather and grandmother want to kill you." ”
Jiang Yuhuan laughed out loud as if he had heard a joke, "They don't want to reason with Concubine Sun, but they want to share their worries for Concubine Sun." ”
"Exactly."
"What about you, what is your purpose?"
Ning Jun didn't answer in a hurry, but handed over a stack of papers first.
"This is evidence of Ning Zheng's misdeeds over the years, I already know his true face, and I have been waiting for the opportunity to kill him with one blow."
Jiang Yuhuan took it, glanced at it hastily and put it aside, "Did you let you make the rumors these days?" You hate Ning Zheng so much? ”
She thought it was Yunduo's handiwork, but how could she have thought that it was the infighting of the Ningguo Mansion.
"I don't hate him. But I know that he has always been cultivated as an heir, and if my father really can't help him, my grandfather will bypass my father and directly make him the prince of the country. Because my grandfather valued him, he was able to easily get what I didn't have. Truth be told, I'm not uncommon to those things. But since I found out that without those things, I have no right to speak in the house, let alone the ability to protect my relatives, so I want to fight. ”
Jiang Yuhuan was confused, he didn't know what the meaning of this paragraph was, and said uncertainly: "Do you want to take the opportunity of me to suppress Ning Zheng so that he can't turn over, so that you can gain a foothold in the Guogong Mansion?" ”
Who knew that Ning Jun shook his head, "No." In the Guogong Mansion, I will impress everyone with my ability, but there is one thing that I have no power or power now, and I am really beyond my reach. ”
"What?"
