The Devious First-Daughter

"Originally, Zu'an was going to invite him to be the crown prince, but now this situation, how could it happen? It's because that bitch of the Ling family didn't live up to his expectations and killed Yuan'er." Madam Tai said bitterly. She didn't like Ling's background, so since Ling entered the mansion, she raised Ning Huaiyuan by her side, and she took care of Ning Huaiyuan even more, and kept close to him for the best things, just because he was a servant of the Hou's mansion. One term master.

But now that something like this has happened, Ning Huaiyuan's status is not even as good as Ning Huaijing's. Why don't Mrs. Tai feel anxious, and her words are full of anger towards Ling. Of course, her anger is all because of the blame. Blaming Ling for not being up to date, the so-called not being up to date, doesn't mean that Ling shouldn't do such a thing, it's just that Ling's actions are not secret enough, which will hurt her precious grandson.

"Mrs. Tai, what should I do now? With the body of the eldest son, it must be inappropriate for Lord Hou to write a letter to ask for a seal." Mother Qin asked cautiously. This topic is really not something she should talk about as a servant. But since Mrs. Tai asked this question, of course she had to answer. As for the other meanings in Mrs. Tai's words, she just couldn't hear them.

"Yuan'er's current status is indeed not the best time because that vicious woman has become like this." Mrs. Tai frowned, her eyelids rolled up, and she was speechless for a while.

"Do you want to ask Mrs. Liu? The old slave thinks that Mrs. Liu has not been to Mrs. Liu for a long time, or there is some good way from Mrs. Liu." Mother Qin suggested in a low voice.

This sentence reminded Mrs. Tai, she frowned slightly, nodded, and stood up: "Come on, let's go to see her together, maybe I haven't seen her come out for a while."

Mother Qin helped Mrs. Tai by the side, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Liu's place is becoming more and more quiet. A few days ago, this old slave was ordered by Mrs. Tai to deliver fresh melons and fruits to Mrs. Liu. , the whole courtyard is quiet, and the few women who walk are also extremely light, and they all say that they are afraid of disturbing Mrs. Liu's Qingxiu."

"She is becoming more and more quiet now. She used to come out to talk to me from time to time, but now..." Mrs. Tai sighed. Mrs. Liu has been rarely seen since she was brought into the mansion by Ning Zuan. Appearing in front of people, even if it is a banquet in the mansion, you can not participate if you can.

Therefore, people outside the mansion rarely know that there is such a Mrs. Tai in the Huguohou Mansion, and recently, Mrs. Liu has become less and less fond of being lively, so so many things have happened in the mansion these days. Mrs. Liu Tai is also ignorant, and she still keeps her own practice, chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha on weekdays, which is quieter than those who usually practice in a nunnery.

Mrs. Tai originally thought she was too much, and sometimes wanted to send someone to look for her, but once or twice out of ten times, she knew that she had made up her mind and wanted to clean up, so she didn't bother her anymore, but today she I really couldn't find anyone to discuss Ning Huaiyuan's matter, after thinking about it, I went to Mrs. Liu Tai to talk.

Over at Mingshuang Courtyard, Ning Xueyan heard the news that Mrs. Tai was going to Mrs. Liu's yard, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, her long eyelashes flickered, and there was a hint of deepness in her black jade-like pupils. But it's gone.

Mrs. Tai went to visit Mrs. Liu Tai at this time, of course it was impossible to really gossip, and usually at this time, it was Mrs. Tai who invited Mrs. Liu to come and talk, because I heard that Mrs. Tai disliked Mrs. Liu. The courtyard where Madam lives is too quiet, but this time she went directly to Madam Liu Tai.

Compared with the bustle of Mrs. Tai's side, Mrs. Liu's side is really quiet, but the quietness has the advantage of being quiet, there are no idlers entering, so it is a good place to talk.

"Miss, do you want your servant to visit Mrs. Liu Tai?" Qingyu asked.

"No, if you go like this now, people will definitely find out, and then you won't be able to tell clearly." Ning Xueyan shook her head. If it was Mrs. Tai's Xiangfu Garden, there would be many people coming and going outside. It doesn't look conspicuous, but in Mrs. Liu's yard, there are not many maids, mother-in-law, and I don't see a single person in a day. If Qingyu passes by, it will definitely arouse suspicion. Mrs. Tai has never believed in herself.

"Then what are Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Liu going to discuss at this time, will it be detrimental to the girl?" Qingyu asked anxiously, she is also very clever now, Mrs. Tai's going out at this juncture must have something to do with her own girl, but But she couldn't hear it.

"No need to go, it must be because of Ning Huaiyuan's affairs, please seal the crown prince, Ning Huaiyuan is not qualified now!" Ning Xueyan smiled and shook her hand.

"Girl, Mrs. Tai will not give up." Lan Ning interjected, everyone here knew how much Mrs. Tai valued Ning Huaiyuan.

"It doesn't matter if Mrs. Tai doesn't give up. It's all done by Mrs. Ling herself. Who can blame her? Could it be that Mrs. Tai can suppress what Mrs. Ling did?" Qingyu thought of her own girl, who had suffered with Mrs. Ming back then. He said angrily, the Ling family is sinister and vicious, the girl almost died at the hands of Ning Yuling several times, there is no one in this house who speaks for the girl.

"You can't suppress it. What happened to the Ling family went through the Ministry of Criminal Justice," Ning Xueyan said indifferently, "Lan Ning, how is Aunt Yu doing?"

The matter of the Ling family is absolutely unstoppable, not to mention this incident, Ling's survival should be due to a compromise between Ning Zu'an and the Ling family.

"Aunt Yu even asked the maidservant to come over to thank the girl, saying that it is fortunate that the girl found out early, otherwise her brother would have died this time. Although he has been in prison for several years now, it is as if he is dead. She also said that she would definitely thank him. Thanks to the girl, there are also two pairs of shoes she made for the girl here, and the slaves who came over to give them to her in the morning."

Lan Ning took out two pairs of exquisitely crafted shoes from the sewing basket on one side and placed them in front of Ning Xueyan.

"That's it for Aunt Yu's side. Thank Aunt Yu for me. If Aunt Yu wants to see her second brother, you can also send a message for her." Ning Xueyan's eyes fell on the two pairs of shoes, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her lips. I mean, this time Aunt Yu's eldest brother was willing to tell everything so directly, on the one hand, of course, because of Aunt Yu, and on the other hand, because he was almost intercepted by the Ling family.

As a servant, he plotted against the mistress together with Ling. Of course, he was sent to prison. Fortunately, he pleaded guilty and confessed everything on his own initiative. Of course, Ling, the main criminal, was not dead. It's been almost a few years, and the next thing is convenient for him to have nothing to do with it.

"Yes, this servant knows." Lan Ning always understood Ning Xueyan's orders, so of course she understood Ning Xueyan's meaning at this time, and nodded her head in response.

"Then what should Mrs. Tai do? Will Mrs. Tai blame the young master for not being able to invite him to be crowned son?" Qingyu recalled what happened to Mrs. Tai before, and asked anxiously. Mrs. Tai didn't look like that at all. He is the kind of person who will accept his fate. For Mrs. Tai, the loss of an heir to the majestic Hou's mansion is a huge event. I don't believe Mrs. Tai will be so calm.

"Qingyu, Lan Ning, go and prepare the supplies for the ceremony for me. Tomorrow we will go to Hanshan Temple to pay respects to my mother. My mother's grievance will always be rewarded. I will pay homage to my mother's spirit in heaven. Before I enter Yiwang Mansion , and do some more filial piety." Ning Xueyan had already made a decision at this time, and suddenly said, since the matter of the Ling family is in broad daylight, she should do another sacrifice, and Mrs. Tai has no reason to stop it even if she wants to of.

This kind of thing was originally intended to be worshipped, but the Hou Mansion didn't seem to have this intention. Mrs. Tai didn't say anything, Ning Zu'an didn't say it, as if she had forgotten it, this is to deliberately make this matter The negative effects are kept to a minimum, so that other people's attention will be diverted from this matter, and negatively treat Ling's framing of Ming's matter.

But now, under the pretext that she is about to enter Yi Wang's mansion, she will do a Buddhist ceremony for the Ming family before she gets married, but Mrs. Tai can't refuse. Therefore, if Mrs. Tai has any ideas, she will definitely make trouble tomorrow morning. Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Liu discussed how they discussed, Zuo just wanted to accept it himself.

"Don't worry, girl, the servants will go get ready soon." Qing Yu and Lan Ning nodded and wanted to go out, but they were about to move when Ning Xueyan suddenly called out.

"You two wait for a while, Xinmei, you go out of the mansion immediately and go to my uncle's mansion. Please ask my uncle and cousin to go to Hanshan Temple today, and let them invite me to Hanshan Temple tomorrow. To pay homage to mother, it is best to ask for a word from the emperor."

No matter what, I am still a member of the Marquis of the Huguo, so it is not easy to break up with Mrs. Tai. Of course, my uncle and cousin will come forward. Mrs. Tai and Ning Zuan will not allow it even if they want to. No matter what it is now The Huguohou's Mansion owes the Ming Mansion, and it is the Ming Mansion's generosity to let the Ling family survive.

Of course, there is also Ning Xueyan's persuasion and dealing with it. The Ling family has harmed so many people, and it is too cheap for her to simply die...

"Okay, servant girl will leave right away." Xinmei knew that it was not too late, the later the people in the Hou Mansion knew, the harder it would be to take precautions, so she nodded and left immediately.

The next morning, Ning Xueyan didn't have breakfast, so she went to Mrs. Tai's Xiangfuyuan first. She usually goes there at this time, usually to greet Mrs. Tai, and to say a few words, I just came back to eat again, but today is a little different from usual.

First of all, I didn't see Ning Qingshan and Ning Lingyun. Usually, at this time, there is always one of Ning Qingshan and Ning Lingyun.

The second is that when she went in, Mrs. Tai was eating, and Xiang Miao, who was serving her meal, moved a chair for her specially, and asked her to sit down, and have some fragrant rice porridge with Mrs. Tai.

The fragrant rice was rewarded by the palace, and it is said that it is an offering from Annan, but it is also rare in Annan's side. Ning Zuan got some, and of course it was all supplied to Mrs. Tai's Xiangfu Garden, because the amount is not much, It was enough for Mrs. Tai to cook porridge in the morning, and Mrs. Tai seldom let the girls accompany her to drink, but Ning Huaiyuan would have breakfast with Mrs. Tai from time to time.

"Thank you grandma, Yan'er should go back to eat!" Ning Xueyan smiled and declined.

"Fifth Miss, you don't need to be polite. Just now Mrs. Tai talked about Miss Wu. Miss Wu is always the one closest to Mrs. Tai. Miss Wu is about to leave the Hou Mansion soon. Mrs. Tai is really reluctant to part with it." Knowing how to speak, she smiled and lightly pressed Ning Xueyan's shoulder, saying that she is a wife as if she really loves Ning Xueyan the most, and treats Ning Xueyan as a sweetheart.
