bastard returns

After speaking, Xiaocui burst into tears.

Ning Zhongkun looked at Ning Yuan pretending to be shocked, "Ning Yuan, did you really do such a thing? After all, this is the Duke's Mansion, how dare you openly defile the girl in the mansion? Will punish you!"

"Cousin, this is your fault." Ning Yuan was unhurried, as if he was not worried about Xiaocui's accusation at all, "You can conclude that I was molesting her just based on this girl's one-sided words. , what is the reason for this?"

"Even if the little girl comes from a humble background, she knows that a woman's reputation is greater than the sky. Could it be that the little girl will still fight for her own reputation and innocence, and use this matter to slander you!" Xiao Cui immediately stopped howling when she heard Ning Yuan's denial. , as if determined to settle Ning Yuan's charges.

"It's really strange." The smile on Ning Yuan's face didn't change at all, "You girl said that I hugged you forcibly just now and wanted to do that indecent thing with you, you and I must have gone through a lot of tugging, Why did I force you to jump into the water to keep your chastity, but my clothes are still neat without any trace?"

"This..." Xiaocui's eyes rolled a few times, and she couldn't tell why. Indeed, according to common sense, if the two of them had a tugging, it would be impossible for Ning Yuan to be so tidy. There was no mess at all, it was because Ning Yuan hid too fast just now, so she fell into the water without a chance to strike.

"It's you...it was you who cleaned it up later!" Xiao Cuiyuan couldn't speak, she had no choice but to start to argue with a sullen face, she believed that anyway, the son was here, and she just needed to insist on Ning Yuan's crime That's it, the rest of the world will be dealt with.

Sure enough, Ning Zhongkun continued: "Ning Yuan, you are really confused. If you like this girl, I will give it to you at the discretion. There are also a few maids in the left and right houses, but how can you do such a thing?" For the matter of coercion, where will the face of our Duke's Mansion be put!"

"Cousin, you really misunderstood me when you said that I was forcing molestation." Ning Yuan still smiled, "I have already said that if I force this girl to do something, he only needs to struggle twice. It's impossible to be so tidy. I really don't know why this girl is so shameless. It's clearly an adultery that you love and I want, but she just said that I want to force her. I think it's because of the lard. , wanting to blackmail money is nothing more than shameless."

"What did you say? Are you...adultery?" Ning Zhongkun was stunned for a long time before repeating that word in disbelief. For a moment, he didn't understand what Ning Yuan was thinking. The situation in front of him was clearly arranged by him. Let Xiao Cui wait here, and after Ning Yuan appears, frame Ning Yuan for indecent assault on him, and then make a fuss in front of Ning Guogong. Anyway, Xiao Cui served her in bed before, so she is no longer innocent , as long as the quarrel is over, even if Ning Yuan refuses to admit it, as long as Xiao Cui has a physical examination, Ning Yuan can be confirmed as a "bad character" and he will definitely not be able to enter Ningguo's mansion. .

But now, Ning Yuan actually said that the relationship between Xiao Cui and him was adultery?

Although it is equally absurd, although it is also not a glorious thing, but compared with coercion, the nature of the two things is far worse. If Ning Yuan is coercion, it is because he acted arrogantly and slapped the Duke's face; But if it's an adultery between two people who agree with each other, it means that the girl in the Duke's Mansion is indiscreet. As for Ning Yuan, there is really no other harm except for describing it as a playboy.

Ning Zhongkun naturally knew that it was impossible for them to commit adultery, but he couldn't tell that Ning Yuan was lying without 300 taels of silver here.

Obviously, Ning Yuan wouldn't let him get stuck like this, so he went on to say: "What my cousin said just now, if I fall in love with this girl, can you decide to give it to me?"

"No! I don't want it! Shizi, it is clear that he wants to force this servant, and this servant has never committed adultery with anyone!" Xiaocui was startled, what happened today was a frame-up, if she fell into Ning Yuan's hands , I still don't know what it will become, and now I started to cry and howl even more.

"Enough!" Wu Shi frowned tightly, and finally spoke out. The girl's appearance covered in aquatic plants was so noisy that it was really a headache. Although she didn't like Ning Yuan, she didn't intend to speak for him. , but in the end, Ning Yuan sent the Rong family to completely overthrow Ning Huayang. Second, Ning Guogong also took a fancy to Ning Yuan and wanted him to accompany him every day. Although the Rong family is domineering, but for Ning Guogong is also sincere, since Ning Yuan can help Ning Guogong recover, he has no objection to this person going in and out of the Guogong's mansion, and he is just a "Tang Young Master".On the contrary, that very unruly girl made her very angry. She, the wife of the Duke, is still in charge of the Duke's mansion, but there is such a shameless servant. Isn't it clear that she is not strict with the family.

Wu's personality is arrogant and domineering, and she always only believes that seeing is believing. The things on the surface couldn't be clearer. The maid accused Ning Yuan of indecent assault on her, and Ning Yuan was well-dressed and neat, without any trace of struggle. So besides your love and my willingness to throw yourself into your arms, what other explanation can there be?Isn't this obviously adultery!

"It's really a shameless girl." Thinking of this, Mrs. Wu had a decision in her heart, "It's useless for such a girl to stay in the mansion. If others want to take it, just take it away, so as not to dirty the feng shui of our government!"

Ning Zhongkun came together with Wu's support, more or less wanting to use Wu's momentum to suppress Ning Yuan. It was really unexpected that Xiaocui would fail, and Ning Yuan could use the excuse to push the boat to take him away. But the water that was thrown out when he said it, and Wu Shi also opened his mouth, even if he didn't want to, he had to acquiesce in this matter.

"My lord, how can you give away your servants in such a random way!" Seeing that Wu Shi wanted to send her out, but Ning Zhongkun didn't say a word, she started to panic, and cried to Ning Zhongkun: " The slaves and servants all follow your orders, how can you... um..." It's a pity that before he finished speaking, Ning Zhongkun's close servant rushed up and covered his mouth, even if Ning Zhongkun didn't Shrewd and prepared, how can Xiao Cui Gou jump over the wall to expose herself in front of others.

"In that case, I'll take that person away, thank you cousin for making it happen." Ning Yuan was smiling all the time, with no sign of haste on his expression, he stepped forward and gently pressed the back of Xiao Cui's neck, Xiao Cui, who was still struggling in the servant's hands, immediately tilted her head and passed out. Ning Yuan was also unambiguous, picked her up directly, and walked away on her own.

Ning Zhongkun looked at his back, feeling very bored. This trap was thought up by himself after a long time. He thought it would definitely come true, but it turned out to be melted away by Ning Yuan's understatement. It was inevitable that he felt depressed. How could he know that if his tricks of framing were placed in front of the Liu family and Yan family back then, they would be unbelievable Xiasanlu. How could Ning Yuan, who came all the way from Jiangzhou, pay attention to it? inside.

Zhou Shi led the carriage and waited at the gate of the Duke's Mansion. Seeing that Ning Yuan actually brought out a maidservant, he was a little confused, but Ning Yuan also simply threw Xiao Cui to him, saying: "On the horse Just put it on your back, and when you go back, hand him over to Bai Tan, let her interrogate her carefully, maybe she can find something good." Randomly got into the carriage.

Although Zhou Shi didn't understand why, he still nodded in agreement.

Ever since Bai Tan came out of Jiangzhou with Ning Yuan, she has been helping the Tang family with all the affairs of the family. She also manages the occasional handymen that she invites. Later that day, while Ning Yuan was still sitting in the yard reading a book, Bai Tan returned with a confession.

What was written in the confession was of course what she asked from Xiao Cui. Xiao Cui was also pitiful, knowing that she had been taken out of the Duke's mansion, there must be no hope of going back, and the girl who looked like a big girl in front of her was vicious. , and fed her red-hot charcoal, she was so frightened that she naturally vomited out all the things in her stomach.

While watching the confession, Ning Yuan listened to Bai Tan's side and said, "I have asked all the young master's questions for the young master, and Xiao Cui did listen to their elder son's orders and wanted to frame the young master, so Shizi Ning agreed." She, as long as this matter is accomplished, she will be accepted as the son's side concubine."

"It seems that Ning Zhongkun is not only stupid himself, but the maids around him are also full of idiots. A servant would actually believe the nonsense that he can be made a side concubine." Ning Yuan smiled and continued to read the confession, suddenly Said: "Ning Zhongkun and Pang Qiushui are really close, and we will see each other every now and then."

"That's right, that's what this girl said." Bai Tan said: "Ning Shizi also warned her that she must not let the wind leak, especially the Duke and Madam must not know."

Ning Yuan laughed, "The Duke's wife had a feud with Pang Qiushui, and she also disliked the Pang family all the way. If she knew that her grandson had a close relationship with the enemy, she would be mad."

"Since this is the case, since the young master is now able to enter and leave the Duke's mansion, do you want to find a chance to tell the Duke's wife?" Bai Tan said: "The young master has helped the prince Ning a lot in the past, and if there is no young master, he might not be able to be the prince position, but now it is too hateful to repay the favor with revenge!"

"Ning Zhongkun's position as the son of the world is not easy to come by. Naturally, he is very fond of it. Pang Qiushui has no other purpose in contacting him. Presumably, he wants to use this opportunity to fan the flames to deal with me. By the way, in front of her father and future husband-in-law She is about to become the concubine of the Fourth Prince." Ning Yuan paused, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and rolled his eyes, "Bring that Xiaocui here, I have something to say to her Say it."

"Master?" Bai Tan showed an inexplicable expression.

"It's just to bring people." Ning Yuan opened a smile, "I suddenly thought of an excellent idea. In the past, those people did not hesitate to use the hand of the eldest princess to kill me. Although it is not good for me to do it first The method is to fight an eye with an eye, but it is still possible to charge some interest in advance, so go.”

Bai Tan bent his knees, turned around and hurried to lead the man.

****

Ning Shanshan, who used to be the number one beauty in Huajing, has had a bad time recently.

In the past, she was young, youthful, and full of beauty. She was the dream beauty of many rich and powerful children. Even the fourth prince, Sikong Xu, once came to ask for marriage. Unfortunately, she was very ambitious, and her grandmother Wu wanted her Climbing high, marrying a prince who is most likely to become a prince, he will also become a queen mother in the future, so toss and turn, even though there is an endless stream of people who come to propose marriage, they still stay in the boudoir.

Originally, with Ning Shanshan's appearance and birth, she would not worry about marrying at all, but unfortunately, since the incident that forced other people's good families to death, her reputation of "femme heart" is also the same as her Huajing's number one. The beauty's reputation is the same, it has spread all over the city, and there are even people who call her a "femme fatale". Nowadays, any decent family, even if they don't want to get rich, they still want to have a clean family background when they get married, even if it is Ning Shanshan With beauty, who dares to marry a vicious woman with a vicious heart and go back to settle the case, so since Ning Shanshan was brought back from the nunnery by Wu Shi, not only all the people who came to ask for marriage in the past disappeared, even Wu Shi wanted to marry her. Tell him about a marriage, and the matchmakers you find are pushy and hard-pressed, and finally you can talk to a few. The eight-foot tall and dignified man is the guard of another family, and he is from a lowly background. He is not worthy of the Duke's mansion. Uncle Qingyang's eldest son has never been married, but that man is fat and big-eared, but he is still a fool, how can he get Ning Shanshan's eyes.

In the past, she put on airs and didn't marry, and she wanted to climb high, but now she wants to marry but no one wants to marry. Seeing that she is not young, she will become an old girl if she keeps going on like this, Ning Shanshan's mood How could it be good.

But even though she knew that her market was not good, Ning Shanshan would not give up her identity as a beauty. There are very few excellent beauties in the world who "give out hibiscus from clear water and make them natural". They are inseparable from makeup, so Ning Shanshan does not go out on weekdays, no matter how scruples are made about her, and she will go to a fixed fragrant building to choose rouge and powder on a regular basis.

On this day, she came to Xianglou accompanied by her maid again. The waiters in Xianglou have special treatment for these rich old customers. Others choose the spices they want in the hall below, and they like But people were led to the private room upstairs, and the door was closed. Naturally, there were people sending up all kinds of precious cosmetics for them to choose carefully.

"Miss Ning hasn't been here for a while, and the shop has recently released a new kind of honey wax fragrance from hundreds of flowers. It is made of hundreds of fresh petals and blended with high-quality beeswax. It is refreshing and breathable, with a pleasant fragrance. First-class, I will ask the people below to bring it to you later." Ning Shanshan is one of the rich men in Xianglou, and the servants here will not neglect him, so after saying a compliment, he offered tea fruit, and at the same time He quickly filled the table with rouge and gouache in many exquisite boxes, and retreated by himself, leaving space for Ning Shanshan to choose carefully.

Ning Shanshan picked up the box of beeswax incense that the waiter had just mentioned, opened the lid of the box, smelled it, and found that it was indeed pleasantly scented, she rubbed some on the back of her hand, and saw that the ointment was clear and even, with a fresh and tender color, her heart was filled with She liked it so much, she was about to call the waiter in to say that she had settled down, when she raised her head, she heard a burst of small words coming in from outside the door.

The voice sounded like two girls were whispering. They probably thought that there was no one in the room, so they didn't deliberately suppress their voices. They only heard one of them say to the other: "I heard that the second lady of the Changsheng Hou's family is going to marry the fourth daughter." Your Highness is a concubine, do you know this?"

Suddenly hearing Pang Qiushui's gossip, Ning Shanshan had been looking at Pang Qiushui's displeasure, stopped her movements, and listened carefully.

Then I heard another person say: "I know, but it's also strange, Second Miss Pang has a sweetheart, but her sweetheart is not His Royal Highness, how can she agree to this marriage?"

At first the man wondered: "Huh? How did you know that Miss Pang Er has another sweetheart?"

The other person paused and said: "I just know, let me tell you quietly, before I came here, I worked as an errand in Ningguo's mansion, and the lover of Second Miss Pang is none other than the eldest son of Ningguo's mansion."

Hearing this, Ning Shanshan frowned in vain, snorted softly, and looked at the maid beside her. The maid understood, angrily stepped forward and opened the door, pointing to the two rough servants who were obsessed with sweeping the floor outside the door. The servant girl said: "That damned girl is so bold that she dared to chew the tongue of the Duke's mansion. Believe it or not, our lady immediately returned to the shopkeeper and brought you to Jing Zhaoyin for punishment!"

The younger of the two servant girls was so frightened by the sudden appearance that she turned into a dustpan, and without thinking, she pointed to the other and said, "Miss, forgive me, miss! She said it all, slave girl what?" Didn't say anything!"

Ning Shanshan's eyes also fell on the other person, and she said coldly: "You are the one who uttered lies and pretended to be a servant of my Ning family to spread rumors outside, raise your head!"

The rude servant girl trembled all over, and slowly raised her head, when Ning Shanshan saw the servant girl's face, she couldn't utter the original scolding words, but said in surprise: "Xiaocui, it's you!?"

Ning Shanshan knew Xiao Cui, although this girl was inconspicuous in Duke Ning's mansion, she was one of the few girls who could climb onto Ning Zhongkun's bed.Ning Guogong is strict in governing the family, and pays special attention to the virtues of servants. Even though Ning Zhongkun has a lot of maidservants, most of them follow the rules. With force, only Xiaocui and a few girls with the lowest identities but high hearts think that if they are close to Ning Zhongkun, they can fly to the branches, so they accompany him to mess around. Ning Shanshan once ran into Ning Zhongkun accidentally Zhong Kun had done absurd things several times, but she didn't say anything because they were brothers and sisters, and naturally she never informed Ning Guogong or Wu's family.

Among Ning Zhongkun's teasing girls, Xiaocui was considered relatively close, how could she appear in this fragrant building as a maidservant now, and suddenly aroused Ning Shanshan's curiosity.

At the same time, she also thought of what Xiaocui said just now, and asked someone to bring her in, close the door again, and then asked in a low voice: "Is what you just said true? Brother, he...is it really the same as the Pang family?" Does the bitch have something to do privately?"

"Eldest... eldest miss..." Xiaocui looked a little scared, but she still said: "Slave, I know that I can't say this casually outside, I know I'm wrong, but the son...he really has a relationship with you. ..."

"How did you find out." Ning Shanshan interrupted her.

"The elder son said it to the servants himself." Xiao Cui said it as if it was true, "The elder son said that Miss Pang Er is young, beautiful, and understanding, and she is his destined person. If there is a chance, he We must marry Miss Pang back to the mansion..."

"Ridiculous!" Ning Shanshan slapped the table hard, the ring on her finger knocked a dent in the cork table, "There is evidence for what you said, how do I know if you are lying or deceiving?" to me?"

"What the maid said is the truth... If the eldest lady doesn't believe it, just pay attention to the movements of the son after returning to the mansion, and you will be able to see clearly." Xiaocui said timidly: "The master and Miss Pang have been in contact until now. It's quite intimate..."

Ning Shanshan's face changed gloomy and uncertain, and she said: "I will investigate this matter when I go back, but from today onwards you'd better keep your mouth shut, I don't know why you were kicked out of the Duke's mansion, but if you Let me know that you are talking nonsense outside and tarnishing the reputation of the Duke's Mansion, and I will be rude to you, do you understand?"

Xiaocui hurriedly kowtowed, "Your maidservant knows, this servantservant must keep a close eye on her mouth!"

Ning Shanshan nodded, seeing the powders on the table, she suddenly lost interest in continuing to choose, she picked up two boxes casually, asked the maid who was close to her to take them to the counter to pay, and then hurriedly left the store and went back to the carriage outside. house.

After Ning Shanshan left, Xiaocui also left the fragrant building through the back door, turned around to a teahouse not far away, went straight to a secret box on the second floor, and said to Ning Yuan who was drinking tea inside. : "The servant has already told the young lady everything that should be said according to the young master's order, the young master is not..."

Before Ning Yuan could speak, Bai Tan, who was standing behind him, stepped forward, took out a stack of bank notes from his sleeve robe and put them in her hand, "This is the agreed money, since you have done something for the young master, young master Naturally, I won’t treat you badly. You immediately took the money and left the city. You can go wherever you want, but don’t come back to Huajing again, otherwise our young master can give you money today, and you can ask for it tomorrow. Killed you!"

Bai Tan's frightening words were skillful, and Xiao Cui was taken aback for a while, and hurriedly took the money, kowtowed to Ning Yuan, and then hurriedly retreated.

"Young Master, if we let people go like this, will she leak our plan?" Bai Tan asked Ning Yuan after returning to Ning Yuan.

"No, this kind of person who sees money and wants to make a fortune, cherishes his own life the most. You just threatened her with your life. She naturally dare not stay in Huajing anymore, not to mention that she was used by Ning Zhongkun Afterwards, he started chaotically and ended up giving up, so it is inevitable that there will be resentment in his heart, wishing that I would take revenge for him, so why would I go so far as to report on him?" Ning Yuan took a sip of tea, looking at the scene of people coming and going on the street outside the window, as if I am in a good mood: "Ning Shanshan and the Duke's wife both dislike Pang Qiushui, if Ning Shanshan knows that one day Pang Qiushui may become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duke's mansion, become her sister-in-law, and rank above herself , this kind of humiliation may make her more uncomfortable than killing her." Ning Yuan paused for a while, and the smile on his face widened, "We just need to wait and see what happens next, I'm afraid It will be a good show."
