Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 135 Take back the dowry and punish Ning Hua again (3)
Sighing, Marquis Jingning asked Wanqing again: "Daughter-in-law, this slave doesn't admit it right now, what do you have to say?"

After hearing this, Wanqing said: "This is the third time she has repeated things like this today. My daughter-in-law has long known that she is a capricious villain. Her words are not trustworthy at all. However, my daughter-in-law has something for you. You You will know at a glance whether the daughter-in-law has defiled her."

Saying that, Wanqing gave some instructions in Zhui'er's ear, and after a while, Mother Fang came, holding some ledgers in her hand, and actually made a list, Wanqing handed the list to Look, Lord Hou.

Jingning Hou glanced through it in a hurry, his face became more and more gloomy, and he said coldly: "You are a greedy and cruel dog slave, but in just ten days, you have hollowed out half of Qing'er's dowry. No wonder, she will Betrayed and framed you, Qing'er, as a father, I don't know that you have lived so hard."

Wanqing heard her nose sore and said: "Thank you father for your compassion. When my daughter-in-law was at her mother's house, she was just a little concubine daughter. The mother-in-law was vehement and cruel, and abused her daughter-in-law in every possible way. After she got married, she was bullied by this evil slave again. This slave is wishing that the husband will leave soon, and also makes her daughter-in-law unable to gain a foothold in the Hou's mansion, so she can swallow her daughter-in-law's dowry."

Jingning Hou was furious when he heard this, he waved his hand and said: "Come here, drag this dog slave who deceived the owner and buyer out and beat him to death."

Mrs. Zhang was frightened and pissed, and for a while, two women rushed in fiercely, dragged her away, and she panicked, shouting loudly: "Master Hou, please forgive me, Lord Hou, please forgive me, it is really the princess princess!" The one who made the servant defile the young mistress, how dare the servant disobey the order of the princess, the servant has nothing to do, even the shop, the princess made a wish for the servant, otherwise the slave would not have the guts."

When Jingning Hou heard this, he waved his hand and said: "Hurry up and drag her out, gag her, beat her to death with a whip, and let everyone in the mansion go to watch the punishment. Whoever dares to disrespect Fifth Young Mistress again will be punished." This is what happened,"

Wanqing immediately understood that Marquis Jingning didn't want to punish Ning Hua. After all, Ning Hua was the princess and the mistress of the Marquis Mansion. No matter what, Ning Hua is still the mother of Shangguan Zimo and Shangguan Ziyi.

Wanqing didn't want to stop here, she had been planning this game for a long time, how could she give up halfway, she just wanted to make Ning Hua suffer some substantial pain.

Mrs. Zhang was dragged out of her hands, Wanqing's face was not happy, but she knelt down to the old matriarch: "Old ancestor, grandson daughter-in-law please come down, please help the old ancestor."

The old lady and Jingninghou were startled when they heard it at the same time, and Jingninghou became a little hesitant. Letting all the people in the mansion go to watch the punishment is to give Wan Qing enough face, so that the people in the mansion will never dare to belittle again. Looking down on and bullying Wanqing, what else is she going to do?

"Qing'er, you have to be sensible and stop in moderation." Jingning Hou said coldly.

Wanqing raised her head, her eyes were clear and resolute: "I'm sorry, my daughter-in-law is really tired. What happened today is clearly that the mother sold out her slaves, abducted her dowry, and framed her. Mother The daughter-in-law is so intolerable, and the husband-in-law is impatient, so he will often have conflicts with his mother for the sake of the daughter-in-law. I really don't want him... to be hurt a little more."

This made the old matriarch's eyes turn red, and said in a trembling voice: "Girl Qing, why did you come here? You and Li'er clearly have a deep relationship. How will you make Li'er suffer if you do this? Are you taking advantage of it?" Did the knife pierce his heart?"

Wanqing also burst into tears: "Ancestor, my daughter-in-law is helpless. I beg you to make my daughter-in-law happy. After your daughter-in-law is out of court, you can find someone with a good family background for your husband, who has a strong family background. No one in your daughter-in-law's family can trust you. It’s hard to be able to stay by Xianggong’s side.”

The meaning of Wanqing's words couldn't be more obvious. Isn't it because she is Shangguan Yeli's wife that Princess Ninghua targeted her?Even if Shangguan Yeli married another wife and returned, Ning Hua would still deal with her as before. The stepmother had always been cruel to her stepson.

Marquis Jingning's complexion was very ugly, of course he could hear the meaning of Wanqing's words, but...

"Qing'er, don't make wild guesses. Although your mother's temper is a bit colder, she wouldn't be so unkind. You also said that that slave is capricious. How can her words be trusted?" Jingninghou waited patiently. Temperament persuaded.

"Then please father and marquis send someone to search Mrs. Zhang's house. My daughter-in-law is convinced that if you don't get real benefits, it is impossible to do things for others because of Mrs. Zhang's treachery." Wanqing said with confidence. .

After hearing this, the old matriarch said: "Let Mother Fang take someone to investigate, so as to save both of you from talking, my wife's people, you should be trustworthy."

Two quarters of an hour later, Mother Fang came back with someone, holding a pair of sheep fat white jade bracelets, which were even more expensive than the pair given to Wanqing by Princess Ninghua that day.

When Jingninghou saw the pair of bracelets, his expression changed, he stared at the bracelets for a long while without saying a word.

Mother Fang said: "The pair of bracelets were found from the servant's house. The servant hid it tightly and buried it under the ground of the room. If the old slave did not search carefully, I am afraid that I would not have found it. .”

The old matriarch then said to Jingning Hou: "You should recognize this pair of bracelets. They were given to her by Concubine Hua, and they were rewarded to her on the same day as the Empress Dowager. She is really generous. Dare to give it to a slave."

Jingninghou's face became darker and darker, he stood up and bowed to the old matriarch, "Mother, it's the son who can't control him well, I ask the mother to decide, how to punish, it's all up to the mother."

The old matriarch said: "She is the princess, she has a title, even if she is a mother, she can't bear it. However, her heart has been too restless recently, so let her live in the small Buddhist hall for a month. , when Ziyi gets married, let her take charge of the affairs, as for the pair of bracelets, since she doesn't want them anymore, let me take care of them."

Jing Ninghou could only nod his head when he heard this, he understood that the old matriarch wanted to use the pair of bracelets as a handle to prevent Ning Hua from going to the palace to cause trouble.
