bastard returns

body.

What's more, just now Ning Yuan pointed out that it was because the pine needle paper was too expensive and he didn't have enough money, so he made this decision-this matter is even more difficult to handle. As we all know, even if the pine needle paper is more expensive than ordinary rice paper, a stack of it can Where can paper be so expensive?Ning's mansion is also one of the most wealthy and nobles in Jiangzhou, how could the young master in the mansion not even have enough money to buy paper?The real reason was that Ning Yuan was not taken seriously in the mansion, so Liu took advantage of this opportunity to secretly withhold his case money.

Mrs. Yan knew about this, but she just turned a blind eye and ignored it. I didn't want Ning Yuan to finally say in front of everyone that his second brother once said that "there is no shortage of these things to enjoy". The same young master from a concubine should be on an equal footing, but one doesn't even have the money to buy paper, and the other doesn't even pay attention to the jade bib given by her father. The eldest lady treats one more than another, and the housekeeper has no way.

Thinking of this, Yan Shi gave Liu Shi another hard look.In fact, she knew well that the Liu family could not get used to Ning Yuan for a long time, and today's incident was ultimately a moth made by her. However, the Yan family also did not like the Tang family who came from a lowly background, so she approached the Liu family. Only then did he go along with the flow to accompany her for a while, but he unexpectedly put himself in such an embarrassing situation where he couldn't advance or retreat, and if he made a mistake, he would cause a commotion all over.

Yan also wondered if Ning Yuan's words were intended for her just now, but seeing the thin body of the boy kneeling in the snow in front of him, shivering in the cold wind, with tears on his pale face, he dismissed it again. I came up with this idea - what can a 13-year-old doll understand, and what he said was true, and he didn't add fuel to the truth, if he had to continue to punish him, it would really not be easy to handle.

She took two steps forward, stretched out her white and plump hands, and personally helped Ning Yuan up from the snow, "My good boy, although you have made mistakes, a filial piety is invaluable, how can mother be willing to punish you."

Ning Yuan opened his eyes wide and sobbed, "Is it true that mother won't punish Yuan'er?"

Yan wiped away the teardrops on his face gently, "That's natural, you return the jade to your second brother, and then you have to assure your mother that if you lack anything in the future, even if you come to your mother and tell her that she will arrange it for you, it will be I can’t do this thing of stealing other people’s things again.”

"But, that piece of jade is no longer with me." Ning Yuan showed a shamed expression, "I planned to take it out to exchange for some money, and then buy pine needle paper, but I didn't check it for a while, and accidentally lost it. "

Mrs. Yan nodded, "That's okay, throw it away if you lose it, but it's not an example." After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Mrs. Liu, and said in a reprimanded tone: "Go and find out what the monthly regulations of Zhuxuantang are. What’s the matter, if there is a shortage, make up for it immediately!”

Liu Shi resignedly bent her knees.

"Yuan'er thanked mother, mother taught Yuan'er to keep in mind." Ning Yuan nodded, then turned to look at Liu Shi, "Then will Aunt Liu still blame Yuan'er?"

Liu's complexion had already turned extremely ugly, and she never expected that things would take such a sudden turn for the worse.She had already arranged it long ago. As long as Ning Yuan refused to admit it, he would immediately send people to search the courtyard, and he would naturally "find" things from this courtyard. Mother and child delaminate.But Ning Yuan actually admitted the matter straight away, and she would never be able to perform the rehearsed drama, and she would never be able to find out that Ning Yuan was lying—that would mean that she would be without 300 taels of silver here.

"Not to blame, not to blame." Seeing that Yan Shi had made a decision, Liu Shi could only wave his hands impatiently.

"Will you not blame Yuan'er in the future?" Ning Yuan continued to ask.

"Not in the future!" Liu said angrily, swung her cloak, and walked out of the yard first.

"You're tired after tossing around all morning, stay here with your mother, and go back to your own residence." Yan finally gave Ning Yuan a word of advice, and then led the rest of the people in a grandiose manner. After leaving, the originally crowded courtyard was emptied, leaving only Ning Yuan, mother and son.

"Yuan'er, come in with me." Seeing a group of people walking away, Tang's voice was cold, and he opened the door curtain and entered the bedroom.

Ning Xin'er, the younger sister, was innocent and innocent. Ning Yuan jumped up and pulled Ning Yuan's hand. Ning Yuan stood up from the snow, patted her knees, smiled wryly, and led her younger sister into the house behind Tang's back.

003 High Gate Bastard

The Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the country with rituals and teachings, and the citizens were divided into ranks and ranks according to their status.

The first class is the royal family, which is called clan relatives; the second class is honored nobles, who are all kinds of titles and nobles conferred by the emperor; After paying a certain amount of offerings to the imperial court, they will be promoted by the status of a middleman through letters issued by local governments; the fifth class is a middleman, and only innocent people who have no criminal records in three generations can be called; the sixth class is a commoner, such as a servant. The people of the people; the seventh class is the lowly nationality, the status is the most humble, and it is mostly used to refer to refugees, beggars and brothel geishas.

The reason why Mrs. Liu told Ning Yuan and her mother about their low status was because Ning Yuan's biological mother, Mrs. Tang, was a brothel girl before entering Ning Mansion.

At the beginning, Tang Yingyao's demeanor was very well-known in the Jiangzhou area, and she was a well-known Qing Dynasty lady. Several merchants spent a lot of money to buy her first night, but they didn't get what they wanted.It's not that she only sells art but not her body, but that she hangs a poem that lacks Xiaqian outside the boudoir, and says that only those who are worthy of Xiaqian are eligible to become her Tang Yingyao's first benefactor.

That que had been hanging in Jiangzhou for a whole year, and many people came to answer the ci, including some well-known local superintendents, but they all failed in the end, until the newly appointed Jiangzhou garrison, Ning Ruhai, happened to ride a horse. After passing by, seeing Shang Que, thinking for a moment and giving Xia Que, Tang Yingyao greeted her personally and became her first and only guest to enter the curtain.

The Tang family never told Ning Yuan about these things. It was only after Tang's death in the previous life that Wu Anbo didn't show up from the encoffining to the burial that Ning Yuan heard these past events from the whispers of the onlookers.

Rumor has it that back then, Ning Ruhai and Tang Yingyao were in harmony with each other. To prevent Tang Yingyao from selling herself to others, Ning Ruhai paid a lot of money to buy her boudoir. Passers-by often saw the two sitting opposite each other downstairs, or playing the piano Playing the flute, or drinking wine and composing poems, the scenes are very poetic. After Tang Yingyao became pregnant, Ning Ruhai even ignored her lowly status and carried her into Wu'an Bo Mansion in a red sedan chair.

The common people discussed this matter, no wonder they wondered why the two were so affectionate at the beginning, but now that one is dead, the other is nowhere to be seen.At that time Ning Yuan was still young, and because of the death of his biological mother, he was heartbroken and frightened, so he didn't take those words to heart at all.Now that he was alive again, he knelt in front of the bed, looking at his mother's bedroom like an ice cellar, with simple furnishings, airy paper windows, damp and moldy bedding, and he couldn't even find a stove in the room, let alone a maid to serve him. It's really hard to imagine that she will be in perfect harmony with her rich father.

Tang's expression was stern, and he took out a thin bamboo strip from the head of the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and said to Ning Yuan in a deep voice, "Stretch out your hand."

Ning Yuan raised his hand obediently, watching the bamboo strips twitch in his palm with a sound of breaking through the air, and soon his hand turned red.

"Mother, why did you beat brother!" Ning Xin'er, the younger sister, couldn't see it, she jumped onto the bed with her braids shaking, and grabbed Tang's arm.

"If you do something wrong, you will be punished. If the eldest lady doesn't pursue it, it doesn't mean I can ignore it. I learned to steal things at a young age. What will happen when I grow up!" Tang was obviously very angry, and his brows were frowned. , "Xin'er, get out of the way!"

Ning Xin'er was unmoved, she just looked at Ning Yuan with her big watery eyes, "Brother, you should admit your mistake to mother, if you admit your mistake, mother will not beat you again."

Ning Yuan's back was straight, and his words were not humble, "Mother, you misunderstood my son, my son did not steal anything, and I never took that piece of jade from my second brother."

"You haven't taken it?" Tang was taken aback, "You admitted so diligently in front of the eldest lady, but now you're here with me and you haven't taken it?"

"Mother, if my boy hadn't said that just now, today's test would not have passed so easily. My only fault is that I didn't explain it to my mother in advance, so I deserve some punishment." Ning Yuan kowtowed after finishing speaking. It was knocked down sincerely, and it hit the bluestone floor of the house with a bang, as if it hit Tang's heart. She quickly reached out to pull Ning Yuan up, rubbed his bruised forehead, and said in a slow tone : "What's going on, you tell your mother clearly."

Ning Yuan regained his composure, and explained thoroughly the mystery that he had just dealt with Yan Shi. Tang Shi was not a fool, he knew everything, and was immediately shocked into a cold sweat.

She should have expected that since Liu Shi came prepared and made such a big splash, how could she not be well-prepared, if Ning Yuan hadn't pushed the boat along with the current, and counted Yan Shi's mind, it would be difficult to be kind today.

"Good boy, it's hard for you." Tang's stern expression was completely removed, replaced by bursts of heartache, he hurriedly took the medicinal wine and rubbed it in his palm, took Ning Yuan's hand and rubbed it carefully, "It's all mother's fault , I shouldn’t have hit you without asking, does it still hurt?”

Ning Yuan shook his head, those pains were nothing compared to what he felt in his heart now.With the gentle face of his biological mother close at hand, and his well-behaved younger sister by his side, everything was as if it had never been lost, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. He plunged into his mother's arms, and wept intermittently.

Tang was only acting like a baby when a young child was wronged, patting Ning Yuan's trembling back, his eyes were full of love.

After crying for a while, Ning Yuan calmed down with a reddish face, and talked to Tang again. Seeing that it was getting late outside, he asked his younger sister to listen to her mother, so she retreated from the room.

It's just that he didn't leave immediately, but walked around the yard quietly, and when he left the gate, there were already several plants lying in his hands that looked ordinary in appearance, but were a little blue green. There is still lush grass.

Looking at the plant in his hand, Ning Yuan couldn't help clenching his fists.

In his memory, Tang's body has always been weak and chilly, and every winter he was plagued by illnesses. She thought that her mother's physique had always been like this, but she just searched the yard with a rigorous idea, and let him in. Several Agrimony plants were found in the corner of the courtyard wall.

During the years he followed Sikong Xu, he studied a lot of poisons for guarding against assassination. This agrimony is the most insidious one among them. It's not that the toxicity is very strong. On the contrary, the agrimony itself only contains a very small amount of cold poison. Even if the whole plant is swallowed, it will not be fatal, but the scary thing is that it will release this kind of cold poison. If people live nearby, it will be fine for a short period of time, but as time goes on, the cold poison will accumulate in the body day by day, and on the day of the attack , not only is the medicine stone ineffective, even the most brilliant doctor can only diagnose wind and cold, but not poisoning at all.

Thinking of his mother and sister living in such an environment, Ning Yuan felt unspeakable anger. He actually used such a clever method to deal with an unfavored concubine. The person who did it was too respectful. some.

He put the Agrimony in his hand away in the sleeve robe, looked back at the plants and trees in the small courtyard, his eyes changed continuously.Since God gave him a chance to do it again, he must cherish this opportunity. He will protect his relatives with all his strength. As for those who harmed him... He turned around and looked at the distance On the gorgeous pavilions, in the past, people used knives and I was fish and meat, but he is no longer the cowardly Ning Yuan. In this world, there is always the truth of making progress, and the many times of patience in the past are just a joke. Now let these people Take a good look at how he, a fierce ghost crawling out of Yama's palace, and a stone rolled out of the Wangchuan River, demanded debts from them rather than rubbish them!

Thinking of this, he looked in the direction of the courtyard where Mrs. Liu lived, and smiled softly.Mrs. Liu, you gave me such a big gift with great fanfare today, if I don't pay you some interest first, wouldn't it be too unreasonable?

****

Hexinyuan, Liu's residence.

The third wife, Liu Huiyi, was married to the mansion when Ning Ruhai went to Jiangzhou 15 years ago. She was not from a scholar-bureaucrat background, her natal family was only a wealthy businessman in Yongzhou, so she was only a concubine when she first entered the mansion, and she gave birth to a concubine son later. Ning Xiang was promoted as his wife.In the following many years, she gave birth to her second daughter, Ning Ping'er, and third daughter, Ning Qian'er. Knowing that she should not have the blessing of having a son, she was very fond of her only son, Ning Xiang. Very baby.

At this time, 15-year-old Ning Xiang was dancing swords in the courtyard in full-body attire. Most of his eyebrows and eyes were inherited from Ning Ruhai. Xue, coupled with her elegant and agile figure, made the two younger sisters and maidservants clapping their hands unceasingly.

Mrs. Liu rushed into the courtyard with a few maidservants angrily, and Ning Xiang just stopped to reap the merits. He took a sword flower and smiled at Mrs. Liu: "Mother, have you taught that bastard a lesson?"

Frustrated, Mrs. Liu was furious, looking at her son's smiling face, she couldn't hold back her temper for a while, flicked her sleeves fiercely, and entered the inner hall without saying a word.

Ning Xiang didn't understand, so Ning Ping'er and Ning Qian'er looked at each other, leaned forward and said: "Brother Xiang, it's rare for my mother to be so angry, and things might not go well, let's go in and ask."

After saying that, the three of them entered the inner hall together, Mrs. Liu was sitting on the grand teacher's chair drinking water, seeing this, Liu's mother, who was beside her, tactfully retreated with a servant in the hall, and closed the door behind her.

"Mother, you warmed your hands, didn't it go well, didn't you teach that bitch and her son a lesson?" Ning Ping'er stepped forward and stuffed the hand stove in her hands into Liu's arms.She is the same age as Ning Yuan, with delicate features and a very gentle and pretty appearance, but she has no manners at all when she speaks. She directly calls Tang shi a bitch, and she calls it very fluently, as if she has been used to it for a long time.

Liu's hands were cold, holding the hot hand stove, she finally felt more comfortable, she glanced at Ning Xiang coldly, and said: "Let me ask you, have you ever shown off to that bastard Ning Yuan that your father gave it to you?" your things?"

Ning Xiang nodded because he didn't understand, "Yeah, I'm afraid that kid has never seen anything good. When he first entered my study, he was stunned by the things on the treasure shelf, so I just picked a few. You should really see his expression at that time, he looked like a fool." Ning Xiang giggled a few times after finishing speaking.

"That's it." Mrs. Liu put the stove heavily on the mahogany table, "Not only did nothing happen today, but it was self-defeating, and the eldest lady reprimanded me for not taking the role of that little bastard." Say it again.

"Auntie actually said that?" Ning Xiang opened his mouth wide, "Didn't Auntie also like those two mothers and sons, why did she actually protect them today?"

"It's not that the aunt wants to protect them, but she must protect them, otherwise the one who suffers will be the aunt." Ning Ping'er's face showed a sophistication that did not match her age, and while stroking Liu Shi's back to help her calm down, she said: " The same goes for you, mother, it's just a matter of calling the aunt, why bother with such a large group of servants, this person is the predecessor, no matter what the aunt does, she will first consider her own face, instead of cleaning up the people who should be dealt with." She After a pause, "But that little bastard is a bit thoughtful, and she will admit things she hasn't done before. Could it be that she has calculated the temper of the aunt and turned her back to advance?"

"Silly girl, do you think that everyone in this world is as smart as you?" Mrs. Liu reached out and nodded between Ning Ping'er's brows, "In my opinion, that kid was simply scared and stupid, and I don't know how to tell the difference. Then I simply admitted it to beg for mercy." After finishing speaking, she straightened her face and continued: "It's the piece of jade, you let that girl Chunlan keep it away, the matter is over, don't show it in front of others, lest you be caught. Interested people see it and use it to make trouble."

Ning Ping'er was blessed, "Mother, don't worry, Chunlan is the smartest girl in my room, and the jade bi will be fine with her."

"Depending on the situation, today's matter can only be passed in such a vague way?" Ning Xiang frowned and said, "Isn't it too cheap for that bastard? It's a pity to pack him out of the house."

"There are so many opportunities to deal with that bastard. He was lucky enough to escape this time. Let's see if he has such good luck next time." Mrs. Liu reached out and patted Ning Xiang's chest, "Xiang'er!" , Mother worked so hard to get rid of those two mothers and sons, but it was all because of you. The eldest lady's Ning Zhan was sick all year round, and the second lady only had one daughter. When Ning Yuan is removed, you will be your father's only Son, in the future, the family property of Wu'an Bo Mansion will be yours, and mother's hope will also be on you."

At this moment, Mama Liu opened the door again and came in, said that lunch was ready, and the maids and women in the courtyard kitchen set up a table in the middle of the hall like flowing water, and the table was full of all kinds of delicacies.Liu Shi was out of breath and hungry, and Ning Xiang was empty after dancing the sword all morning, so they sat down to eat, but didn't speak any more.

They were so busy chewing, no one noticed that there was a dexterous figure flashing past the window.

Ning Yuan climbed the rockery, jumped out of the courtyard wall of Hexin Garden, faced the light, and carefully played with a piece of square jade in his hand.

The jade bi is transparent, with the words "Xin Ke Ji Di" engraved on it. The carving is first-class, and you can tell it was made by everyone at a glance.

He pursed his lips and smiled, if he hadn't eavesdropped on their conversation for a while, he wouldn't have known that the jade bi was actually hidden in a maid's room.Mrs. Liu, since you have accused me of stealing things, then I simply complied with your wishes. Do you think that this matter is over after the ambiguity is over, and the fun is yet to come.

004 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

According to the rules of the Ning Mansion, when the young masters are old enough to go to school, they have to move out of their biological mother's residence and live in a separate courtyard, and their daily life will be taken care of by special servants.Now the three young masters of the Ning Mansion, except for the eldest son Ning Zhan who has been raised in the Yan family's courtyard due to illness, Ning Xiang and Ning Yuan have separate residences.

Ning Yuan was playing with the piece of jade in his hand, and went straight to his courtyard, the Zhuxuan Hall, but the scenery along the way made him a little strange.Thinking back to him in the past, he was soft-spoken and lived in fear in this Ning Mansion, afraid to raise his head even when walking, as if he had never paid attention to those pavilions, towers, pavilions, buildings, flowers and plants.Now my mood has changed a lot, I straightened my waist and walked all the way, I just feel that the scenery is so beautiful.

The Bamboo Xuan Hall is located on the west side of Ning Mansion. It is named because there is a small circle of bamboo forest outside. It is also because of this small circle of bamboo forests that separate the Zhu Xuan Hall. It is somewhat incompatible with the spacious and atmospheric atmosphere of Ning Mansion. And few people come.

At first, the Zhuxuan Hall was just a place where Ning Ruhai collected ancient books, calligraphy and paintings. Later, because it was too far away from his residence, and the East Wing was expanded, Ning Ruhai moved the study there, and the place gradually fell into disrepair. When Ning Yuan was old enough to divide the yard, Mrs. Liu usurped Mrs. Yan and gave him the most humble and remote place.

Walking around the bamboo forest and pushing open the wooden door of the Zhuxuan Hall, Ning Yuan just stepped into the yard when he heard a burst of shouting and cursing from the front yard. He took a closer look and saw a man wearing a hanging cloud bun and wearing a fiery red jacket. A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with her hips akimbo, pointing her nostrils to the sky, was pointing fingers at the two girls kneeling in front of her.

"It's really two low bones. You can't do a little thing well. It's useless to make this girl unhappy. Let me tell you, if this girl is unhappy, it means that the third wife is unhappy. If the third wife is unhappy, she will inevitably pick up all of you." Skin it!"

Ning Yuan recognized that girl, her name was Xia Zhu, and she was the chief maid in charge of his bamboo Xuantang.

Most of the servants in Zhuxuan Hall were recruited by Mrs. Liu, so they naturally obeyed Mrs. Liu's orders.Mrs. Liu didn't wait to see Ning Yuan, so she could naturally foresee how arrogant and rampant these servants were towards Ning Yuan, the "master".

Take this girl Xia Zhu as an example, Ning Yuan was quite angry with her before. She used to be Liu's personal maid and was also the head of the yard, so she was used to domineering all day long. He didn't pay attention to his serious master, and scolded the servant who was not from the third wife's lineage, acting like a master, with extreme arrogance, and scolded the little girl silently, her eyes flooded. tears.

Ning Yuan used to be jealous of Liu Shi, and always swallowed Xia Zhu's anger, but now seeing her arrogant appearance again, Dang even decided to make an example of others, since he wanted to deal with Liu Shi, he simply took the servants she placed beside him first.

"Miss Xia Zhu." Ning Yuan straightened his expression, and walked forward with a smile, "What happened, why did you lose your temper?"

Xia Zhu turned around and saw that it was Ning Yuan, and immediately showed a ghostly expression.

She is aware of Liu's plan, even the "evidence" slandering Ning Yuan, she has a lot of hands, seeing Ning Yuan being taken away this morning, she thought that this wimpy young master had been beaten out by the third wife It's impossible to think that he can come back, and he is full of smiles, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with the situation!

Could it be that the third lady stopped?Although he didn't understand what had happened, Xia Zhu calmed down quickly, snorted softly, and said, "It's not that these two scumbags are too lazy to do anything, and a pot of clothes has been washed for two hours. washed."

Ning Yuan looked over and saw the two girls kneeling on the ground, one named Bai Tan and the other Bai Mei, they were two sisters who had just sold themselves into the house a few months ago.Because they are newcomers, the housekeeper was afraid that there would be trouble if they were sent to some courtyard hastily, so he sent them to this always remote Zhuxuantang, so that even if something happened, with Ning Yuan's personality and status, the housekeeper would not be afraid to take any responsibility .

When the Bai sisters heard Xia Zhu talking about them, they just had red eyes, bit their lips, and didn't make any distinctions for themselves.In fact, they also knew in their hearts that the third young master in front of them had always been cowardly, and Xia Zhu had always been riding on his head, so it was useless to distinguish, and they might even help Xia Zhu to abuse them in turn.

"Oh? Two hours? That's really long enough." Ning Yuan raised his eyebrows, pointed at Bai Tan who was close to him, "Tell me, why does it take so long to wash clothes?"

Bai Tan is the older sister, so she should be more prudent, she just lowered her head and didn't reply to Ning Yuan's words, but the younger sister Baimei couldn't sit still, she was young and had been wronged, she was already sad, seeing her elder sister didn't speak, she would He opened the mouth and said: "Returning to the third young master, because the snow is too cold, Miss Xia Zhu has assigned too many clothes. My sister is afraid that I will freeze my hands, so she wants to boil some hot water to wash clothes, but there is no good carbon in the kitchen. The water is always unable to boil, which delays the time."

"Smelly girl, what do you mean that this girl is finding fault with nothing, deliberately playing tricks on you, and making you wash clothes in the cold weather, I really deserve a beating!" , but also felt that she couldn't bear it, so she raised her hand in a rage and was about to wave Baimei's face. Seeing the white palm coming with a gust of wind, Baimei closed her eyes in fright, but after a while, she didn't Feeling the pain, he opened his eyes, only to find that it was Ning Yuan who grabbed Xia Zhu's wrist.

"The girl below is ignorant, so why is Miss Xia Zhu so angry?" Ning Yuan grinned and showed a bright smile, "Be careful, my hands hurt."

Xia Zhu looked at Ning Yuan in disbelief, unexpectedly he would have the courage to stop her, and seeing the smile on his face, suddenly felt hairy in his heart, struggling hard: "Let me go!"

Ning Yuan was only 13 years old, but Xia Zhu was seventeen and half a head taller than Ning Yuan. This effort not only broke free from his grip, but also slapped him across the face with a "slap".

Ning Yuan was beaten to the side of his head, and a bright red five-fingerprint immediately appeared on his pale cheek.

The Bai sisters were stunned by this scene.

Ning Yuan is still a young master no matter how powerful he is, he is the master here. Although Xia Zhu has been presumptuous for a long time, it is the first time that he beat someone so clearly.

Xia Zhu herself was taken aback, she had never seen Ning Yuan laugh like that before, and she would act in a panic when she was confused for a moment, but she soon calmed down again.If you beat her, what can Ning Yuan do to her? She belongs to the third lady, and the second lady has no children. Except for the eldest lady, the third lady is the sky in this Wu'anbo mansion!

In fact, Ning Yuan's reaction was exactly as she expected, she just turned her head back silently, her expression did not show any anger or dissatisfaction, but she even showed a flattering look to her, "Miss Xia Zhu calmed down?"

Bai Tan immediately showed contempt in his eyes, these three young masters are really useless.

"Forget it, since the third young master pleaded for these two scumbags, then I will let them go." Xia Zhu was still a little startled, even though Ning Yuan's reaction was not what she expected, but she still felt that there seemed to be something weird , flicked his sleeves sternly, and was about to go back to his room to drink a cup of hot tea to calm himself down, but Ning Yuan blocked his way again.

She raised her eyebrows, "Is there something else for the third young master?"

Ning Yuan waved his hand, "I'm fine here, but there's something going on with Aunt Liu. There's something that Aunt Liu told me, so I must pass it on to Miss Xia Zhu."

"Third Madam, is there something you want you to convey to me?" Xia Zhu's face was full of disbelief.

"Miss Xia Zhu, let's open the skylight and tell the truth. Aunt Liu is now taking care of the affairs of the house for the aunt. She is noble and elegant. I admire and respect her very much in my heart. Today, thanks to Aunt Liu's care, I can not be surprised. Come back dangerously, otherwise, I am afraid that the family law will have already sent you to the hospital." After speaking, Ning Yuan patted his chest appropriately.

Xia Zhu understood immediately.

It's no wonder that the third young master can come back safely, it's because he has surrendered his sincerity to the third lady, that's why the third lady let him go.Most of the doubts she had been holding in her heart were resolved immediately, and her attitude towards Ning Yuan became a little smoother, "Oh, tell me, what's the matter with the third lady?"

"Aunt Liu said that sister Xia Zhu has always been diligent in her work, and she is willing to sacrifice her life for righteousness. She left Hexinyuan and ran to my remote Zhuxuantang to stay for so long. She is a first-class loyal servant, so I have something to ask I want to reward you."

"Third Madam, do you have something to reward me?" Xia Zhu immediately became energetic when he heard that there was a reward, "What reward, show me quickly?"

"It's Aunt Liu's new South Sea Coral Bracelet. It is very expensive and cannot be easily shown in front of people. Please let the girl follow me into the inner room." After Ning Yuan finished speaking, he walked into the room first.

Xia Zhuben was still a little strange, the third lady had a reward and it was not good to send someone here, why did Ning Yuan have to hand it over, but when he heard the word "coral bracelet", he immediately widened his eyes, and there was almost a green light coming out of it Come.

She had heard a few days ago that Liu's natal family had sent someone to the Ning Mansion not long ago to deliver some things, one of which was a set of coral jewelry found overseas, ranging from walks to rings, because coral is extremely rare , and only produced in the South China Sea, it is even more valuable in northern cities like Jiangzhou, and the Liu family can't easily wear it, let alone reward others.

When she was greedy, she couldn't care about anything else, and she also expected that Ning Yuan, who had been eaten to death by herself, would not be able to play any tricks, thinking that since he had taken refuge in the third lady, the third lady would ask him to ask her It wasn't surprising to reward him with something, so he boldly followed behind him.

Before entering the door, Ning Yuan turned his head and called to the Bai sisters who were still kneeling there: "You two go to the kitchen to get a pot of tea, and by the way, bring the charcoal basin with you, so that the tea won't get cold."

After entering the inner room, Ning Yuan politely asked Xia Zhu to take a seat, Xia Zhu didn't refuse, and sat down carelessly.The Bai sisters moved swiftly, and quickly brought tea and charcoal bowls. Ning Yuan didn't tell them to retreat, but just waited aside, then closed the door with his own hands, and made tea for Xia Zhu, and then waited for her to see through. In his eyes, he took out a smooth and clear red bracelet as if by magic.

Xia Zhu's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and it was really a coral bracelet from the South China Sea!

Coral is a pure material, so the color of the bracelet is also extremely pure, and it is also inlaid with many jewels of various colors. The room is not bright, but it still cannot block the jewels on it. It is priceless at first glance, not only summer bamboo, Even the Bai sisters on the side were stunned.

As soon as Ning Yuan lightly handed out the bracelet, Xia Zhu immediately snatched it away, biting it between her teeth full of rustic flavor, and a smile bloomed on her face.

"Thank you, Third Young Master, and thank you, Third Madam, for your reward!" As the saying goes, when money is open, Xia Zhu saluted Ning Yuanfu for nothing, and for the first time, he took the initiative to call him Young Master. I have some work to do, so I will go out first, if the third young master has a place where I can use my servants, just ask, and the servants will be dispatched."

Stuffing the bracelet into the underwear pocket and putting it away, Xia Zhu couldn't wait to go back to her room, then closed the door to enjoy it carefully, and said goodbye to Ning Yuan in a hurry.Ning Yuan just laughed and didn't stop her, but when she walked to the door, she pushed hard but didn't open the door. Looking down, she saw a bright big brass lock dangling on the door latch.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly turned around. Ning Yuan was already sitting on the main seat, holding a teacup and drinking tea with her head down. The door is locked, let me out quickly, I have to thank the third lady."

Ning Yuan didn't say a word, and took a full sip of hot tea before putting down the teacup. His smiling face suddenly became as calm as water, "Xia Zhu, you are guilty!"

Seeing that Ning Yuan suddenly uttered such a harsh sentence, Xia Zhu was stunned, apparently unable to react.

Ning Yuan didn't seem to want to give her time to react, and continued to say in a cold voice: "As a servant, you have committed crimes against your superiors, beaten and humiliated your master, and according to the punishment laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you should have your tongue pulled out and exiled for three thousand miles, and you will be sent as a slave to a man in armor! "

Xia Zhu finally understood, her expression suddenly became gloomy, she laughed, and said: "Third Young Master, don't forget your identity, I belong to the Third Madam, if you let me go out now, I won't be here in San Save some face in front of Madam, otherwise, the third young master can see if it is me or you who was exiled for three thousand miles to serve as a slave to armored men!"

Xia Zhu didn't believe that Ning Yuan could do anything to her.In her eyes, this young master from a lowly background doesn't dare to show his air when he walks outside on weekdays. Anyone can bully him wantonly. The master completely ignores his existence. His life is worse than that of a servant. Xia Zhu put on a face, it must be that he is impatient with life.

"Do you think you can still walk out of this door today?" Ning Yuan stood up, with a cold light in his eyes, "Bai Tan Bai Mei, hold her to kneel down for me!"

Bai Tan was startled, the sudden turn of events was completely beyond her expectation, the third young master who was respectful to Xia Zhu just now turned his face and asked them to bet on Xia Zhu?Could it be that these three young masters are crazy!If this matter gets out, if the third wife pursues it in the future, none of them will live!

But Bai Tan didn't expect that while she was still standing there hesitantly, her younger sister rushed out with blood red eyes and wrestled with Xia Zhu.In the end, it was Baimei who was young and pure-hearted, so she couldn't think about Bai Tan so much at all. She just thought of the scene of Xia Zhu wantonly bullying their sisters.

Bai Mei is much thinner than Xia Zhu, after three or two blows she was at a disadvantage and received several slaps, this time Bai Tan couldn't stand it anymore, so she simply gritted her teeth and went forward, holding Xia Zhu's hair in a bun Suddenly tearing, two against one, soon, although the Bai sisters looked embarrassed, they still pressed Xia Zhu with disheveled hair on the left and right to kneel on the ground.

Xia Zhu couldn't lift his body up, so he could only raise his head vigorously, his eyes looked at Ning Yuan as if he was about to spew fire, "You damn bitch, how dare you treat me like this, the third lady will not let you go! You Die badly!"

Ning Yuan, however, turned a deaf ear to the sharp and filthy abuse, and only slowly crossed to
