bastard returns

Beloved. "

Ning Yuan did not speak for a long time, Huyan Yuanchen looked at Ning Yuan's face and said, "So do you understand what I mean?"

"What do you mean?" Ning Yuan asked puzzled.

"This is to use a common saying in your Da Zhou, that is, don't 'be bitten by a snake once and be afraid of well ropes for ten years', because you have been betrayed by others, you have to coldly reject other people's kindness, even friends Make friends, so cautious, even the meaning of life is gone."

The meaning of living?Ning Yuan reflected on this sentence, and couldn't help laughing at himself. The only meaning of his life now is to protect his close relatives, and then take revenge on his enemies. As for other so-called "meanings", he has never thought about it .

Huyan Yuanchen turned over, lay on his back on the roof, put his hands behind his head, and looked at the stars in the sky, "I think some of your Da Zhou's words are indeed very charming, like 'sometimes in life, there must be life, "There is no time in the world, don't force it", I have been telling myself this way, things that don't belong to me, just go away, but if it is because of this, it is too unworthy to push away those things that should belong to me, I want to share with you Compared with me, Mr. Ning should understand these truths better."

"Huyan." For the first time, Ning Yuan didn't address Yan Yuanchen as "His Royal Highness", which made Huyan Yuanchen overjoyed, and turned his head, "Master Ning, have you figured it out?"

"Has anyone suggested something to you?" Ning Yuan turned sideways, resting his head on his right hand, "Your mouth, which is always quoting scriptures, is very similar to the old master in the classmate prison. If you don't become a teacher , It's really a pity."

Ning Xiang and Ning Ping'er left the back door of the Ning Mansion, walked along the side of the road for a while, and boarded a carriage that seemed to be waiting there a long time ago.There was no conspicuous sign on the outside of the carriage, but the driver was tall and strong, with protruding finger joints, he looked like a trainer, he raised his whip all the way, and drove the carriage to a magnificent restaurant, but did not stop at the main entrance , but followed the alley on one side to the back door with few people.

There was already a waiter standing there by the back door, and as soon as Ning Pinger got out of the car, he went up to meet her, "Oh, miss, you are here, the guest officer has been waiting for a long time." Leading her to the restaurant, Ning Xiang also wanted to follow in, but was stopped by the driver.

"The only thing our master wants to see is Miss Ping'er." The coachman said forcefully, "Master, it's better to wait outside."

Ning Xiang was taken aback, is this asking him to wait on the side of the road?He has never received this kind of treatment in his life, and he just wanted to distinguish a few words, but when he thought of the identity of the coachman's master, he shut his mouth resentfully, and stood obediently by the side.

Ning Pinger followed the waiter through the lobby of the restaurant, and walked upstairs along the wooden ladder behind the middle hall.She obviously decorated it specially today. She was wearing a gorgeous peach pink gauze dress, which was inlaid with pearls for embellishment. She also carefully picked out the tidy up. She looked luxurious but not vulgar. After a long time, she lost a lot of weight. With this outfit, she looks very delicate and lovely.

Xiaoer took her all the way to the third floor of the restaurant. There are private rooms here, which are much quieter than the downstairs. Occasionally, through the door, men and women can hear the laughter of men and women inside, which makes Ning Ping'er's face also turned red.Xiao Er led her to stop at the door of one of the rooms, knocked on the door, and heard a gentle "come in" from inside, then carefully pushed the door open, and made a "please" gesture to Ning Ping'er .

Ning Ping'er kept her head down, her cheeks were already burned like coals, she walked into the room, and heard the sound of the door being closed behind her again, her heart beat even more violently.

There was a faint smell of incense in the private room, Ning Ping'er suppressed her deer-like heart, quietly raised her eyes, and soon saw a man in white clothes bowing down not far away.

She swallowed, and slowly moved her gaze upwards, sliding all the way to see the man's slender legs, narrow waist, broad shoulders, and shiny black hair. The man was standing in front of the window with his back to her, But even just looking at this outstanding back, Ning Pinger's beating heart almost made her faint.

At this time, the man also turned around in an aura, revealing Sikong Xu's handsome face, nodding and smiling at Ning Ping'er, "Miss Ning, we meet again."

"See, see Your Highness the Fourth Highness." Seeing the face that she had been thinking about for many nights reappeared in front of her eyes, Ning Ping'er stumbled even when she spoke, and even forgot to bend her knees.

"Miss Ning is dressed pretty pretty today." Sikong Xu smiled, compared to the small table next to which had been placed with food and wine, "Miss, please sit down."

Ning Ping'er moved to the edge of the table and sat down, both hands clinging to the sleeves tightly, just breathing in the faint breath from Huyan Yuanchen, she actually had the illusion of fainting.

Two months of torture in the ancestral hall, coupled with Lu Ping's violence, made Ning Ping'er collapse for a while, but just like the old saying, bitterness comes with sweetness, she never imagined that the day after she was released from the ancestral hall after the expiry of her thought period, she would actually Received an invitation from Sikong Xu!

At first she also doubted whether this was another conspiracy, but the place for the banquet was actually Juxianlou, the most prosperous restaurant in Jiangzhou. She asked herself that Ning Yuan could not do this kind of handwriting, so in order not to miss the opportunity, and just in case, she told Ning Xiang about the matter and asked Ning Xiang to accompany her. stand up.

When she was standing outside the private room just now, she had already made up her mind that the person who came to see her must be Sikong Xu, but when she really saw Sikong Xu standing in front of her alive, Ning Ping'er was shocked again. Feeling regretful, she shouldn't have come, she didn't expect her body to have such a violent reaction to Sikong Xu, who had only met once, and only then did she hear him say a word, and her whole heart would be blown out of her chest Li jumped out!

"What's wrong with Ms. Ning, I think you don't look very well." Ning Ping'er was in a daze, suddenly there was a warm touch on her forehead, she was shocked, and found that Sikong Xu had walked to her side, and was about to A jade-like hand was placed on her forehead.

"No...it's nothing!" Ning Ping'er jumped up from the stool and moved two steps back. Sikong Xu's astonished face made her feel that she had overreacted, and she said shyly, "It's just...just this It's just a little hot in the room, it's okay..."

"Is it hot?" Sikong Xu was stunned at first, but soon smiled again, "Perhaps the incense burner is too lighted, this incense has a refreshing effect, it's not unusual for the miss to smell it." After saying that, Sikong Xu walked to the side to burn Next to the burning censer, cover the open censer, and soon, the faint fragrance in the room dissipated.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Ning Ping'er smiled with a stiff expression, and sat down at the table again, trying to make herself look more natural, "The dishes on this table are very delicate, much better than those made in my kitchen at home. .”

"Because I didn't know Miss Ning's appetite, I just ordered a few random things, and I don't know if Miss Ning is used to it." Sikong Xu picked up a piece of steamed cod with his own hands and put it in the small dish in front of Ning Pinger. It’s been a while in Jiangzhou, but I think the cod in Juxian Building is the best, so you can taste it.”

Ning Ping'er was flattered and quickly took it over. A handsome man like Si Kongxu actually picked up the food for her with his own hands. She felt like she was dreaming!

049 Settling Accounts After Autumn

"I don't know, I don't know why His Highness invited the little girl here." Ning Ping'er was not in the mood to eat at the moment, and looked at Sikong Xu with a pair of watery eyes, waiting for his reply.

Sikong Xu smiled, and rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "To tell you the truth, miss, in fact, at the spring banquet that day in the main hall, seeing the lady dance startled, Sikong fell in love with the lady at first sight, that's why I thought about it." Let Miss Yue come over to have a talk, and I hope Miss will not blame Sikong for his abruptness."

Seeing Sikong Xu suddenly say this to herself, and even claiming to have changed from "main hall" to an approachable "Sikong", Ning Pinger was taken aback for a moment, and then felt an itching feeling slowly emanating from the bottom of her heart, Fourth Highness I mean, do you like yourself?

"Your Highness said so, my little girl, my little girl is really ashamed." Ning Ping'er wanted to drink water, but her hands were shaking because of nervousness, so she missed it.

Seeing her reaction in his eyes, Sikong Xu sneered from the bottom of his heart, but his expression was still gentle and refined, "It would be best if Miss didn't blame Sikong. In fact, Sikong has something else that I'm curious about. I hope Miss can clear up some doubts."

Ning Pinger immediately said: "Your Highness, please tell me."

"About the third young master of your mansion." Sikong Xu sorted out his words before saying: "Sikong has heard rumors that you and the third young master of your mansion are not on good terms, miss. It is true."

Hearing Sikong Xu suddenly mentioning Ning Yuan, Ning Pinger suddenly regained her senses. She hated Ning Yuan who had been giving herself up at home, but she also became curious about Sikong Xu's intentions, so she asked tentatively: " Your Highness knows my third brother?"

"I can't say we know each other. If I insist, there are some festivals." Sikong Xu also lowered his expression, "At first I didn't know that he was your elder brother, miss, but now for the sake of miss, those small festivals, I will Then don't care about it."

"He is so bold that you dare to offend Your Highness!?" Ning Ping'er quickly raised her head as if she had found a bosom friend, "That guy is really worthless, he is just the son of a prostitute. Raising him in the mansion can be regarded as flattering him, but he relied on his sharp teeth to go around trying to be good, coaxing the old lady to treat him as a treasure, and embarrassing me and my brother Ning Xiang everywhere. I also thought, what is a family? People, if you suffer some grievances and endure it, you will pass, and you won't bother with him too much, could it be that he has become even more serious now, and has gone to His Highness with his nose and face?"

"It turns out that this person has this kind of virtue at home." Sikong Xu pretended to be surprised, "Miss, you are really wronged."

"What can I do? He gained face in front of the old lady, and he was appointed as a disciple by the university scholar Gao Yu a few days ago. People can only smash their teeth and swallow it." Speaking of this, Ning Ping'er pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes.

Sikong Xu hurriedly handed over a brocade handkerchief, "Miss, don't cry, I didn't expect this guy to be so hateful. If there is a chance, Sikong will naturally express his anger for the lady."

Ning Ping'er immediately raised her head, her eyes lit up, "Your Highness is serious, except for the old lady, that guy has lost all support at home, if His Highness wants to deal with him, feel free to do it boldly, I guess no one at home will replace him Say more."

"That's natural. Since Sikong has agreed to vent his anger on Miss, he will naturally do what he says." After a pause, Sikong Xu said again: "It's just that Miss, do you know that your third brother has ever had any high-ranking officials?" contacts?"

"Is it up to him, a high-ranking official?" Ning Ping'er sneered, but suddenly felt that her reaction was not dignified enough, so she hurriedly sat up straight, "Don't worry, Your Highness, where is that guy's background, how can a real high-ranking official get along with him?" He's not afraid of getting bad luck when he contacts."

Sikong Xu frowned, "Is that true?"

Ning Ping'er was stunned for a while, seeing Sikong Xu looking at her like this, she suddenly felt that she was not sure what to say, "It should be... so, Your Highness, you know that I am not on good terms with him, and I am not sure about his private affairs. How could you possibly care?"

"So that's the case." Sikong Xu nodded.

The next day, Shuixiu next to Ning Mo sent a stack of shortbread to Zhuxuantang. Ning Yuan easily opened the middle piece and took out the note hidden inside. After reading it, he sneered and went Throw it into a small charcoal stove with tea brewing on the side and burn it.

At this time, Bai Tan came in with a stack of light green paper, "Master, I have already bought the pine needle paper you want, and I picked the best ones according to the instructions."

Ning Yuan reached out his hand to touch the paper, saw that the tentacles were smooth and delicate, nodded, and said, "This is the kind of paper that is needed to copy the Hundred Filial Piety Letters, and with purple gold ink, it can be placed outside for a long time without worrying about yellowing." Moldy."

Bai Tan also laughed, "The young master is so filial, the old lady must be very happy to receive this gift."

Last winter, in order to avoid Liu's plan, Ning Yuan confessed to Yan that he wanted to prepare a "Hundred Filial Piety Book" for the old lady as a congratulatory gift. Now that Shen's birthday is approaching, this preparation is naturally on the agenda, of course. Ning Yuan also prepared a return gift for Liu Shi at this birthday banquet. I don't know what kind of expression Liu Shi will have after receiving it.

Shen's [-]th birthday is on the second day of April, but according to the rules of the Great Week, the [-]th birthday is a big day, and a table of "small banquets", also called "ceremony banquets", will be held every day seven days in advance, specially prepared for door-to-door The person who gave the gift had a simple meal, because from seven days ago, birthday gifts for birthday celebrations would be continuously sent to Ning Mansion.With Ning Ruhai's title, no matter the officials or the wealthy in Jiangzhou, they would all come to express their intentions, not to mention that the birthday gift was sent from the Shen family in Huajing, that is, Shen's natal family, so many things. , On the day of the birthday party, it is impossible to collect it properly, so it takes seven days to slowly collect it into the warehouse, so that on the day of the birthday banquet, the servants can spare their hands to serve the guests with all their strength.

It's just that what Shen Shi didn't expect was that apart from the congratulatory gifts from her natal family, there was also a heavyweight guest who came from Huajing this time.

Three days before the birthday banquet, the Ning Mansion received congratulatory gifts and invitations from Princess Zhaoyi.

This Princess Zhaoyi has a lot of background. She is the eldest princess's daughter and the current emperor's cousin. Since the current emperor's ascension to the throne is extremely bloody, the emperor's brothers and uncles died all over the place, and there are almost no relatives around her. Naturally, he treats the only remaining patriarchal relative, the eldest princess, the aunt, with great kindness and respect, and even loves the cousin Princess Zhaoyi very much.

However, Princess Zhaoyi and the Ning family also have a certain relationship. When Ning Ruhai was young, as a young hero praised by everyone in Huajing City, he once captured the hearts of many famous ladies, including Zhaoyi. The princess, the two of them did have a relationship for a while, but because the eldest princess saw the turmoil in Ningguo's mansion and strongly opposed it, their matter failed.Later, when Ning Ruhai went north to Jiangzhou, the two of them got married, so they lost contact. Unexpectedly, after all these years, Princess Zhaoyi suddenly sent a greeting card, which really shocked Shen.

But as a royal family, with a noble status, even though Shen muttered in her heart, there was no reason to close the door to welcome guests, so she beat everyone in the mansion a long time ago to be more vigilant, and even changed her clothes, bringing Ning Ru Hai personally greeted him at the gate of the mansion.

Because Princess Zhaoyi was traveling on her own, she kept a low profile. She arrived in an inconspicuous carriage at dusk. As soon as the carriage came to a stop, a hand with an emerald ring stretched out from inside the carriage, and gently supported her. On the outstretched arm of a nun, and then a gracefully dressed middle-aged beautiful woman came down from above.

The woman could see that she was also wearing casual clothes on purpose, but the jewelry was obviously carefully selected. Just a bright ruby ​​the size of a baby's fist on the collar button showed her extraordinary status. Bu Yao, earrings, and necklaces were also full. All the aunts behind Shen were dazzled by the exquisitely crafted treasures.

"I see Princess Qiansui." Mrs. Shen took the lead to bow down, but Princess Zhaoyi smiled and said: "I have always regarded the old lady as an elder, and I am here to celebrate your birthday. How dare I accept your favor now?" Courtesy." After saying that, he hurriedly asked the attendants who came to help him up, and as Shen stood up, the maids and women who were kneeling behind her also followed, and the princess's beautiful eyes passed over Shen and landed on Ning Ruhai. body, said with a smile: "Master Ning, don't come here unharmed."

"I'm terrified, please trouble the Princess." Ning Ruhai hurriedly bowed, "The banquet is ready, Princess please."

Princess Zhaoyi smiled and walked into the mansion surrounded by the crowd without saying much.The younger generations in the main hall were already waiting here. Princess Zhaoyi took her seat, and her eyes flicked around among the young people present, and finally settled on Ning Xiang, "Hey, isn't this Ning Xiang? It’s been a while, I don’t want to have grown so big.”

Ning Xiang immediately stood up flattered, "Xiang'er pays homage to the princess." Mrs. Liu also stood up, saluted and said, "Since the time when Huajing left, this child has always been thinking of the princess, and said If you go to Beijing to participate in the Spring Festival next year, you must pay a visit to the princess's mansion in person."

Princess Zhaoyi also smiled and said: "I remember you were only 13 years old at the time, and you followed your father to Beijing to report on your duties. At that time, I saw that you were a smart child, so I gave you a piece of jade. Do you remember?"

"I remember, of course I remember." Ning Xiang didn't expect that this noble princess would be the first to talk to him, but he felt that his face was extremely long, and his tone of voice also raised, "Because it was given to me by the princess, I have always Keep it carefully, but don't dare to be vague."

"That's it." Princess Zhaoyi nodded, and glanced at the old woman behind her. The mother understood, and took out a small cloth bag from her arms. Princess Zhaoyi opened the small cloth bag personally, and inside It is a finely crafted gold chain.

"Thinking that I only gave you a piece of jade that day, it was not beautiful. Before I came this time, I specially made a matching gold chain to match that piece of jade. In the future, you can also wear that piece of jade. A piece of jade bi is worn on the body like a jade pendant."

"Oh, how did this happen!" The moment Ning Xiang saw the gold chain, before Ning Xiang could speak, Liu's expression was overjoyed, "It's really a blessing for Xiang'er to be taken care of by the princess, Xiang'er, why don't you thank the princess soon !"

"Thank you Princess Ning Xiang for the reward." Ning Xiang happily took the gold chain from Princess Zhaoyi, not forgetting to look at Ning Yuan who was sitting on the other side braggingly, as if to say, you were defeated by Gao Yu. What kind of skill is it to be a disciple, I am highly valued by the princess!

"Xiang'er, why don't you quickly take out the jade bi and show it to the princess." Seeing her grandson's shame in front of the princess, Shen also felt that his face was radiant, and hurriedly said.

"This..." Ning Xiang hesitated a little, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Liu Shi, but Liu Shi was obviously much smarter, "Yes, I want to show it to the princess, Xiang'er, go and get it." Take out the jade bi."

"Hey, sister, did you make a mistake?" Yan Shi said at this moment: "That jade bi is not..." Yan Shi originally wanted to remind Liu Shi that the jade bi was not told by her Cheng asked Ning Yuan to steal it, but now Ning Xiang was asked to take it out, but Mrs. Liu pretended to be confused, and interrupted without waiting for Mrs. Yan to finish speaking: "Yes, a few days ago, Mrs. I accidentally got ink on my son in the study, and sent it to Yufang in the city to have it cleaned, but it has been sent back now, and it is even more shiny than before." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Liu looked at Ning again. Xiang glanced, "Hurry up!"

Ning Xiang understood what the Liu family meant, and now is a great opportunity to curry favor with Princess Zhaoyi. Compared with this, the need to avoid suspicion because he used that piece of jade to frame Ning Yuan in the past seems to be less important.

Ning Ping'er took a look at Chunlan, the maidservant behind her. Chunlan had been keeping that piece of jade ever since she failed to frame Ning Yuan. Chunlan understood, and led Ning Xiang there. Looking at Yan Shi's face and seeing her gloomy complexion, he couldn't help but thump in his heart. He suddenly realized that when he framed Ning Yuan, he dragged Yan Shi and a large number of servants there. Come out, isn't it tantamount to slapping Yan Shi in the face in front of a large number of servants?

However, she quickly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart. Right now, the most important thing is to be close to Princess Zhaoyi. As for the Yan family, she can only wait for some silver taels to make amends in the future. Anyway, her natal family is rich, and she used to do it openly and secretly. I gave Yan Shi a lot, and even if Yan Shi was angry, he probably wouldn't care too much.

Of course, as for Ning Yuan, Liu Shi never considered it at all. She didn't believe that Ning Yuan dared to complain for herself. What a storm.

Because of this, she didn't notice the increasingly obvious sneer at the corner of Ning Yuan's mouth.

After about a while, Ning Xiang didn't come back, but Chunlan came back, her complexion was not right, and she didn't have time to say hello to everyone when she came back, so she whispered something to Liu Shi, Liu Shi's expression changed after hearing this, and she lost her voice: " What did you say!?"

"Third daughter-in-law, what's the matter?" Shen seemed to have sensed something was wrong, and asked aloud.

"It's all right, but Xiang'er couldn't find the key to the wooden box where the jade bi was placed." Mrs. Liu responded with a stiff face, and got up to follow Chunlan.

After this trip, it took another half a stick of incense. The people in the room looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn't know what the hell this Ningxiang mother and son were doing. Already showing impatience, Shen Shi observed the words and expressions, and also felt that it is not good to drag on like this. I am afraid that before Liu Shi comes back, the delicacies prepared for this table will be cold, so she hastily said to Luo's mother behind her: "You Let me see what the third daughter-in-law is up to!"

Luo's mother went away in response, and as soon as the cloth stepped out of the hall, she stopped her steps again, because Liu Shi had already brought Ning Xiang back.

The faces of both of them were not good-looking, Ning Xiang had a pale face, but Liu's complexion turned blue. As soon as they entered the door, Shen asked, "It's been so long, but did you bring the things back?"

Liu Shi bit her lip tightly, not knowing what to say, she couldn't figure it out, how could the jade bi, which was collected very well, disappear!

Just now when Chunlan came in in a hurry and told her she couldn't find the jade bi, she thought it was because the girl was careless and forgot where she kept it, but when she and her people almost turned the whole Hexin Garden over, she realized that He realized that the piece of jade seemed to have really disappeared.

What should I do, Princess Zhaoyi is waiting here now, should she say that the piece of jade is lost? How can she say such a thing, it will greatly offend the princess.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth slightly, and said to Princess Zhaoyi: "Princess Zhaoyi, I am incompetent, I don't know where the key to the jade bi wooden box is, and I can't open it for a while, I'm afraid I can't put the jade Bi is brought."

"Confused!" Before Princess Zhaoyi opened her mouth, Shen slapped the table, "Since it is a gift from the princess, it should be put away carefully. What is it like to lose the key!"

"Third Madam, are you sure what you lost is really just the key?" Aunt Zhuang said with a light smile, "Besides, even if the key is really lost, since the county magistrate looks at the jade bi, you can't split the broken box with an axe , isn’t your wooden box something valuable?”

"Nonsense, what if I hurt the jade inside with an axe?" Liu Shi also felt that the reason she was looking for was far-fetched, but now for the sake of face, she can only mess around, "I can only wait for me to find it another day." Only a locksmith can open the box and take out the jade bi.”

"Tsk tsk, third lady, you can't use an axe, you can use other things, just a few pieces of wood, you're afraid you won't be able to break it open." Mrs. Zhuang looked at Mrs. Liu's face and decided that there must be a mystery in it. The family was at odds, and when he got the chance, he hurriedly dismissed it and beat him to the ground, "Why don't you bring that box over, isn't Master Xiang a martial artist? It shouldn't be difficult to break open a few pieces of wood and take out the jade inside."

"Zhuang Qingqing, you..." Liu's face turned red because he was arrogant and didn't know how to refute.

"Forget it, if you can't take it out today, let's take it another day." Princess Zhaoyi waved her hand, "I'm mainly here today to give the old lady a congratulatory gift, let's talk about the rest later."

After hearing what the princess said, Mrs. Liu gave Ning Xiang a wink as if she had received an amnesty. Ning Xiang immediately went back to her seat and sat down. Mrs. Liu was about to sit down, when suddenly she heard Ning Yuan opened his mouth and said, "The jade bi that Aunt Liu was looking for, but this one?"

Liu's whole body was shocked, and she stared at Ning Yuan with sharp eyes, only to see that Ning Yuan unhurriedly took out a piece of transparent jasper from his sleeve robe.

The jade is extremely warm and translucent, reflecting the light of the lanterns in the room, it looks as smooth as water, the jade is transparent, and the words "Xin Ke Ji Di" are engraved on it with extremely exquisite craftsmanship.

"Oh!" Mrs. Zhuang half-covered her mouth, "Could it be this quick jade? Didn't the third lady say to keep it in the box? Why did it get into the hands of the third young master?"

The eyes of everyone around were on Ning Yuan. The moment she saw the jade in Ning Yuan's hand, Liu's face changed drastically, her eyes flickered several times, and she suddenly pointed at Ning Yuan and cursed: "Okay! , This jade bi is indeed stolen by you, Ning Yuan, you are the young master of our mansion after all, where did you learn this sneaky business!"

"Aunt Liu, what nonsense are you talking about?" Ning Yuan showed an inexplicable expression, "This jade was obviously given to me by my second brother, how can you frame me as stealing it?"

As soon as Ning Yuan's words came out, Princess Zhaoyi's face turned cold instantly.

Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, obviously she didn't expect Ning Yuan to say such a thing, and Ning Xiang even slapped the table and got up, shouting: "You bastard, don't spout blood, how could I give you this jade bi!"

Ning Yuan blinked, "Second brother, why are you so forgetful? You told me yourself that you have too many jade objects in your room. The texture of this piece of jade is not so transparent and pure. It will look ugly in the study. It’s only been half a year, so why don’t you remember it?”

After Ning Yuan finished speaking, Princess Zhaoyi's unattractive face turned completely dark.

That piece of jade is expensive, but it is not as good as some famous jades. If what Ning Yuan said is true, Ning Xiang actually despises the low value of the jade she gave and gave it away indiscriminately. It's like humiliating Princess Zhaoyi who gave away this piece of jade!

Ning Xiang turned pale with fright, "When did I ever say such a thing! I clearly kept this piece of jade well, but you stole it and wanted to frame me instead!" After speaking, Ning Xiang looked at the jade for help. Xiang Liu, Liu's lungs were blown out of anger, she didn't expect Ning Yuan to pour such dirty water on Ning Xiang, she immediately turned her head and said to Yan: "Ma'am, you know, when this kid stole He bought the jade bi, but he admitted it in front of you and me, you and I don’t blame the past, but now he takes this jade bi to splash Xiang’er’s dirty water, madam, you must make the decision for Xiang’er!”

After Mrs. Liu said this, she thought that Mrs. Yan would help her expose Ning Yuan's lies, but Mrs. Yan took a sip of tea leisurely and said, "Sister, are you confused, what are you talking about?" How come I can’t understand a word of the dirty words?”

Liu Shi's face froze, and she immediately understood that just now Yan Shi had warned her not to do things that contradicted herself, but she slapped Yan Shi in the face for clinging to the powerful, and now Yan Shi is retaliating with an eye, giving her embarrassment Look!

050 Pinger is Happy

"Aunt Liu, I am also responsible for this matter. If I know that the princess gave this jade to the second brother, even if the second brother forcefully forces it to me, I will never dare to accept it." Ning Yuan stood up in fear. , and handed the jade to Ning Xiang, "Second brother, you should quickly take the jade back."

Ning Xiang was trembling with anger, wishing she could grab that piece of jade and smash it on Ning Yuan's face, but her only remaining rationality told him not to do so, otherwise she would be caught by Ning Yuan's tricks. Great embarrassment.

"My lord, my lord, you have to be the master of my concubine!" Seeing Yan's watching from the sidelines, Mrs. Liu pinned her last hope on Ning Ruhai, "This is clearly a false accusation. What the lord gives is more important than anything else, how could it be possible to give it away indiscriminately, Ning Yuan's hands and feet are not clean, and to frame Xiang'er for disrespecting the princess, it's really unreasonable!" After all, he yelled I cried out.

Ning Ruhai saw Liu's hysterical appearance, his tidy hair bun and make-up were messed up, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved, but because Ning Xiang offended Si Kongyue last time, he was already a little disappointed in this son, plus Now that Ning Yuan is under the care of Gao Yu and possesses imperial martial arts, even though Ning Yuan is disrespectful to his father, he seems to be more worthy of cultivation than Ning Xiang. The most important point is that Princess Zhaoyi is now sitting There, everything depends on the wishes of the princess, Liu Shi let him be the master, what can he do?

But the matter has come to an end, it's not good for him to stand by and watch, so he tentatively asked Ning Yuan, "What's the matter with your jade bi, is it really your second brother who gave it to you?"

Ning Xiang stood up, cupped his hands and bowed, "Father Mingjian, this originally belonged to the second brother. If it wasn't a gift from the second brother, how could it be in my hands? If I stole it as Aunt Liu said, on such an occasion , It’s too late for me to hide it, so how can I take it out in full view?”

"You're talking nonsense!" Liu Shi turned around and pointed at him bitterly, "You stole this piece of jade and deliberately took it out on such an occasion just to frame Xiang'er!"

"Aunt Liu, you really wronged me by saying this." Ning Yuan was full of grievances, and said to Ning Ruhai and Shen Shi: "Father, grandmother, you all know that Princess Zhaoyi is a temporary invitation. He didn't send anyone to inform that he would come to visit, so how could Yuan'er not know the foretelling, the princess would definitely come to celebrate his grandmother's birthday, and then deliberately got this piece of jade to frame the second brother in front of the princess, Yuan'er No such ability! It's just because the jade bi was given by the second brother, and Yuan'er respects the second brother, so she wears it all day long. Just now, I heard Aunt Liu said that the jade bi was locked in a box, so I was surprised. Come out and ask."

Shen Shi nodded after hearing this, and stared at Liu Shi: "Yuan'er is right, the princess's sudden visit surprised even the old man, how could Yuan'er have prepared something to plot against his second brother, but you At one point, he said that the jade bi was collected well, and at another point, he said that Yuan'er had stolen it, so the inconsistency between the preface and the afterword really arouses suspicion."

"This...I..." Mrs. Liu was so blocked by Ning Yuan that she couldn't say a word, and she was also confused.

Princess Zhaoyi said while Taking the gold chain, he stood up and walked to Ning Yuan himself, and handed the chain to him, "I asked Mr. Wu Lian, a famous craftsman in Beijing, to carve this piece of jade.
