Chapter 192
Xinyue hadn't reached the gate of the courtyard when she saw Lin Yanyan in white, leading Aunt Ma and Aunt Li and the maids walking over here.The maid following behind was still holding something in her hand.

"To the side concubine, Aunt Ma and Aunt Li, please greet me."

Lin Yanyan and the others stopped, looked at Xinyue and said, "Get up. Aren't you Xinyue next to the princess? Where are you going?"

Xinyue glanced at Aunt Ma and the others who were following Lin Yanyan, and said, "The concubine asked the servants to go to the yard of the concubine and the side concubine to see if there was anything wrong with the summer clothes distributed this month." She took the lead Speaking out the problem is to show Ning Erlan's openness.

Lin Yanyan always had a gentle and dignified expression on her face, and she didn't ask much after hearing what Xinyue said. "It just so happens that my side concubine and two aunts came here to find the princess, so you don't need to make another trip."

"Yes."

Xinyue followed them back to the return road.

In the side hall of Lan Pavilion, Aunt Zhang glared at Ning Erlan who was sitting on the main seat with a look of glee. Even if the prince knew about this matter and wanted to protect him, he couldn't do it!
"Wangfei, the side concubine and the two aunts are here." Qing Ying came in and reported.

Ning Erlan's eyes were slightly hilly, and her complexion was the same. "Let them in."

Not long after the words were finished, Qingying walked in with Lin Yanyan and others.

After saluting, Ning Erlan asked them all to sit down.

"Look, these people really came together. Maybe the reason why Concubine Lin and the two aunts came here is similar to that of my aunt?" In the past, Ning Erlan didn't need them to come here to say hello, so they usually wouldn't come here Come on, there must be something wrong with all the people here now.

Lin Yanyan didn't answer Aunt Zhang's words, but looked at Ning Erlan with a smile and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I guess someone made a mistake. Today, the two aunts went to the concubine's yard to find the concubine, and said a few days ago The summer dresses sent by the Japanese were not made of the right materials. The concubine thought that the concubine’s rigorous work would not make mistakes, so she asked Xia Shuang to take a look, but she didn’t think that it was indeed somewhat different from the previous ones. The concubine thought at the time that it might be Bu Zhuang made a mistake..."

"What's wrong? It's clear that some people can't get on the stage and do some dirty things! Do you think we are ignorant from a small place?" Lin Yanyan was interrupted by Aunt Zhang before she could finish speaking.Said meaningfully.

Ning Erlan asked Xinyue to go forward to check, and the summer skirts brought by Lin Yanyan and others were indeed the same as those brought by Aunt Zhang, and they were all made of the material used to make clothes for slaves. "Xinyue, did you check everything that day?"

After the delivery arrived that day, she asked Xinyue to inspect it carefully, and found no problems at all.

"Back to the princess, the servants did read it carefully that day, and the material is not wrong."

"Hey, what do you mean by this is that we changed all the materials, and then came to slander the princess?"

"Perhaps the people at Buzhuang made a mistake. The princess just took over the general affairs of the palace not long ago, so maybe it's normal to not notice some things for a while." Wei Ningerlan with a soft face on Lin Yanyan's face justified.But the more this happened, the more people would disdain Ning Erlan.Concubine Lin was in charge of the general affairs of the palace before, and she was fine when she was in charge, but now Ning Erlan has a problem.If it's not that she is greedy for ink, it can only mean that she is not capable enough.

If the fault was not on Ning Erlan, then the Ma family who provided the cloth for the palace would have to bear the responsibility.That was her natal family, and Aunt Ma didn't want such a thing to happen to her family. "Wangfei's dresses are also made with the maids and concubines. How about letting the maids see the princess, is there something wrong with the dress?"

Ning Erlan had no reason to refuse Aunt Ma's proposal.Then let Xinchen check it out.

Not long after, Xinchen replied with a somewhat unfriendly expression: "Back to Princess, there is nothing wrong with those dresses."

"There is something wrong with our dresses, but the princess's is fine..." Aunt Ma glanced at Ning Erlan very quickly and said in a low voice. Although her voice was very small, it was enough for everyone to hear.

"It's just being greedy for cheap and not forgetting your own good. It's a big deal to be greedy for money from Mr. Mo. This matter has to be decided by the prince." Aunt Zhang insisted that this matter was done by Ning Erlan, thinking that she would be punished The way Wei Lingxiao dealt with her made her feel happy!
Lin Yanyan frowned in disapproval. "My lord is already inseparable from business affairs, so how can you use the backyard to upset your lord. This must be a mistake in Buzhuang. The wangfei will definitely not do such a thing as greedy ink. "This tone is to try my best to defend and guarantee Ning Erlan.

"The side concubine is really gentle and virtuous. Whenever someone eats her, she will have to dip her own sauce." Aunt Zhang snorted angrily. She also disliked Lin Yanyan's always dignified and virtuous in front of others. look!

Ning Erlan looked at them calmly as they talked one after another, without giving herself a chance to speak at all, she nailed the crime to herself.

He raised his hand and took a sip of the newly changed hot tea on the table. After they had finished talking, he raised his eyebrows and said, "This matter has not been thoroughly investigated, so I hope Aunt Zhang will be careful. The head of the family called this concubine over, and brought along the people who came to the mansion to deliver the clothes that day."

Xinyue has a stable temperament, she believes in Xinyue's ability to handle affairs, especially those dresses are still for the master of the palace, she will never be mistaken.Now that there is something wrong with the dress, there is only one possibility, that is, someone replaced the original dress on the way to deliver it.

"Princess, the people in the cloth shop have sent clothes to the palace for many years, and they can't make mistakes." Seeing her family members being called, Aunt Ma argued impatiently.

"Then what do you mean, it was my concubine who changed your dresses on purpose? You all add up to only a dozen dresses, and they are only a few hundred taels of silver. The concubine took them out at random in her room. There are more than one or two valuable gadgets, so why do these unskilled things that people talk about?"

What Ning Erlan said was not an exaggeration. When she got married that day, her dowry was as magnificent as ten miles of red makeup. Everyone in the palace knew that among the precious accessories in her dowry, a hairpin alone was worth the price. Several hundred taels.

"It's different if you have shallow eyelids, maybe you can't see good things?" Anyway, no matter what Ning Erlan said, Aunt Zhang insisted that it was her.

Half an hour later, the current head of the Ma family, Aunt Ma's elder brother and the servant who delivered the fabric that day were all brought into the courtyard.

The owner of the horse, Ma, is only thirty years old, and he is handsome, but his height is a bit unsatisfactory.After entering the side hall, he knelt down in front of Ning Erlan without daring to cast his eyes randomly.

"Cao Min sees the princess, side concubine."

"My concubine asks you, have you checked all the ready-made clothes delivered to the palace that day?"

"Go back to the princess, check everything, there is no problem."

"No problem? But why did the ready-made clothes become defective after being sent to the yards of the aunts and side concubines?"

Ma Cheng was startled, there was something wrong with the tailor, it was the master's dress of the palace!I couldn't help feeling a little flustered. "Princess Mingchao, the Ling Palace has been cooperating with Caomin's cloth shop for several years. Every time it is sent to the palace, the Caomin will personally check it, and send it over after there is no problem."

"Since there is no problem, why did the dress become like this?" Ning Erlan asked Xinyue to bring the dress to Ma Cheng for him to see.

Ma Cheng could tell at a glance that the material of the dress was not what he had seen before, and wondered why it was so.Could it be that this new concubine deliberately set a trap for the Ma family.It is not impossible to say so, but the prerequisite is that his younger sister Aunt Ma is favored, and the possibility that the princess will hate her for doing this is high. After all, this is also a risk.

But my younger sister is considered a dispensable half-master in the palace, and she won't pose any big threat to the princess for the time being, so why should she be so eager to act.

"It was Cao Min's younger brother Ma Ran who sent the dress to the palace that day. You can ask him to come in and ask." Aunt Ma's elder brother, but he is a concubine.

Maran was brought in.Compared with Ma Cheng, Ma Ran looks much taller, and looks more like a businessman, with calculations flashing in his eyes at any time.

Looking at Ma Ran who was kneeling on the ground, Ning Erlan said, "You were the one who distributed the dress that day?"

"Returning to the princess, the younger ones are assigned to the members of the various courtyards of the palace."

"Did you find anything wrong then?"

"This..." Ma Ran frowned, seeming a little embarrassed.

Ma Ran's reaction was seen by Aunt Zhang, and she was overjoyed, knowing that there must be something hard to say about it! "Just say what you have, and there will be someone here who will uphold justice for you."

"Aunt Zhang is right, you just say it boldly." Lin Yanyan also said softly.

Ma Ran seemed to hesitate for a while, and finally said: "There was no objection to the delivery of the ready-made clothes that day, but there was a servant girl in the princess's courtyard who said that those aunts were not masters at all, so why should they wear such good dresses? It's really worthless for the princess... That maid just walked past the grass people, but the grass people didn't pay attention. I saw her say something to Qian Guanshi, who tidyed up the clothes, and then the grass people didn't know." Although Ma Ran said He had to hesitate to cover it up, but anyone who wasn't a fool could understand what he said.This is not implying that Ning Erlan disliked the aunts of the palace and didn't want them to have a better life, so she asked people to change their dresses.

Moreover, these dresses were probably prepared long ago, and this was premeditated, because every year the palace sent someone to designate the patterns, and they knew it a month in advance.

Now, it's not just about being greedy for Mr. Mo's Zhongyin, but also getting a reputation of being jealous. ""

If someone else had been accused of such a name, she would have already been upset, but Ning Erlan continued to drink tea and eat cakes, and watched the expression changes on a person's face.It didn't seem like it mattered at all to her.
