Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 113

After Xiao Lin secretly confirmed that Jing Ning was fine, she stayed overnight and returned to the Xiao Mansion. Xiao Yuan didn't have the heart to spend time with Duke Zhou, so she didn't sleep too deeply at this time. Hearing the movement, she knew that her brother had returned , hurriedly opened the door and asked: "Brother, how is sister-in-law?"

"No problem." Although Xiao Lin said this, the aura around him was much colder than usual, so he added after a pause, "Leave earlier later."

Xiao Yuan felt relieved when Xiao Lin said that Jing Ning was fine, and nodded seriously: "I will never forget."

As for the prime minister's mansion, the lights were brightly lit all night.

Zheng Xiuning knelt in front of Zheng Anyan, weeping pear blossoms with rain, softly crying out for injustice: "Father, how could Xiuning harm my sister? I really didn't do the three-day break..."

Mrs. Yang also cried and pleaded for Zheng Xiuning: "Master, even if Xiuning is so courageous, she wouldn't dare to harm her own sister! Master..."

"Enough!" Zheng Anyan yelled, and when he heard that Jingning was poisoned, he flew into a rage. Jingning's girl's personal servants all confirmed that the sachet was given to Jingning by the second lady, so she was already angry Now, Zheng Xiuning and Yang's crying and crying disturbed him even more.

Zheng Xiuning hated her teeth so much, although she did poison Zheng Jingning, but it was not a poison that could kill people, it was just to make Zheng Jingning suffer.God knows who Zheng Jingning got into again and gave her such a severe poison, so why did Zheng Jingning blame her for what he did?She was really wronged this time!
At this time, the sky was just slightly bright, Zheng Yanhe always had a regular schedule, and now he got up to study, but saw the people in the mansion hurrying, so he called a person to ask what happened.

The maid who was stopped showed a sad face, and told Zheng Yanhe about Jingning's sudden poisoning last night in detail: "Master Tang, go and see the eldest lady, she was suddenly poisoned last night for some reason, There are red bumps all over the body, and when you touch it lightly, the blood will gurgle!"

"What's going on?!" Zheng Yanhe was startled, who ate the ambition?How dare you poison the concubine of the prime minister's mansion? !
When the servant girl thought of the festering and blood gushing out of the young lady's whole body, she felt sad, and her voice was a little crying: "The doctor came to check, and the poison was put in the sachet next to the young lady's pillow. The sachet was given by the Second Miss to the Eldest Miss, and the Eldest Miss put it next to her pillow when she was overjoyed... how could I know..."

Zheng Yanhe's heart skipped a beat, subconsciously recalling the sachet that Xiu Ning asked him to give to Jing Ning last night, his brows furrowed unconsciously.

The maid was really sad for Jing Ning, and Zheng Yanhe didn't say anything, so she continued to babble: "In the past, the Eldest Miss was so kind to the Second Miss, but the Second Miss did such a thing to frame the Eldest Miss! In this way, the eldest lady is not harsh on the second lady...the eldest lady is so kind-hearted, she treats her servants well..." As she spoke, she started to sob.

"Where are Jing Ning and Xiu Ning now?" Zheng Yanhe interrupted the girl's desire to cry, there were some things he had to figure out.

The servant girl wiped her tears, sniffed her nose and said, "Missy is still lying on the bed in pain and unconscious. We are terrified to see those ulcers... The second lady was called by the master to the front hall for questioning... Ah, I still don't know what to do." I'm going to bring medicine for the young lady, Master Tang, the servants will leave first." Saying this, Fu Fu stepped back.

Zheng Yanhe nodded, intending to go to see how Jingning is doing first, so he stopped the servant girl: "Wait, I will go to see Jingning with you."

A moment later, inside Jingning's house.Zheng Yanhe looked at the pale girl in front of him with blood dripping all over his body, and couldn't believe it for a moment. This was the clever and clever little Jingning who always followed behind him.With just one glance, Zheng Yanhe walked towards the front hall.He wanted to ask Xiu Ning what was going on?

"Father...Father, trust me..." Before Zheng Yanhe approached, Xiu Ning's cry came from a distance, followed by Zheng Anyan's furious voice.

"Trust you? You explain to me, what is the word 'Hugh' on the sachet?!"

Zheng Yanhe paused for a moment, then walked in, and made a long bow to Zheng Anyan: "Uncle."

Seeing that it was Zheng Yanhe who came, Zheng Anyan calmed down, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea Shun Shun: "Yanhe is awake, what's the matter?"

Zheng Yanhe glanced at Zheng Xiuning, who was kneeling on the ground crying pear blossoms and rain, a trace of unbearableness flashed in his eyes, but he was quickly suppressed firmly, he cupped his hands at Zheng Anyan, and said, "Yanhe has something to think about." Ask Cousin Xiuning to clarify."

"Huh?" Zheng Anyan was planning to ask him to ask later, but Zheng Yanhe's next sentence dispelled his thoughts.

"It's about cousin Jingning."

Zheng Anyan frowned, but still nodded: "You ask."

Zheng Xiuning thought that the savior had arrived, so he raised his head and stared at Zheng Yanhe with tears in his eyes. His appearance was so pitiful. If it was an ordinary man, it would be a lie to say that he was not in love at the moment.What's more, Zheng Yanhe liked Zheng Xiuning since he was a child, but reason still prevailed. He locked his eyes on Zheng Xiuning's face, and asked in a very serious tone: "Xiu Ning, last night..."

"Cousin! I didn't!" Zheng Xiuning suddenly said, how could she let her father know that she let her cousin into her room in the middle of the night?Even if it was nothing, what would her father think of her!
Zheng Yanhe took a deep breath, and regardless of Zheng Xiuning's stop, he opened his mouth: "I went out to admire the moon last night, and it rained suddenly, thanks to cousin Xiuning who let me avoid the rain..." Zheng Anyan's brows were already knit together, But he didn't interrupt aloud, he could tell that the point of what Zheng Yanhe wanted to say was not here.

"My cousin asked me to deliver a sachet to Yu Jingning for you last night, is there such a thing?" Zheng Yanhe asked Zheng Xiuning word by word.

Zheng Xiuning's face turned pale. Zheng An has been in the officialdom for many years, if he can't even look at his face, he doesn't have to be a prime minister.With a cold snort, he looked at his good daughter: "Zheng Xiuning, do you have anything else to say?"

"Father..." Zheng Xiuning wanted to explain something, but he couldn't say anything into Zheng Anyan's eyes.

Mrs. Yang was clever, and hurriedly slapped Zheng Xiuning and shouted angrily, "Naughty girl! How could you poison your own sister! Why don't you confess to your father!" Then he knelt down in front of Zheng Anyan, snotting his nose. Tears pleaded for Zheng Xiuning, "Master, Xiuning must not have done it on purpose! Please forgive Xiuning this time!"

Zheng Xiuning sat on the floor as if he was stupid, his lips were tightly pressed, his face was full of bewilderment.

Zheng Anyan swung his sleeves and snorted coldly: "From now on, the second lady will be confined in the courtyard and fasted for a day! No one is allowed to see her without my permission!" The last sentence was obviously for Mrs. Yang. , Kicked Yang away and walked towards Jingning's courtyard.

After Zheng Anyan left, Yang hurried over to help Zheng Xiuning.Zheng Yanhe glanced at Zheng Xiuning, who was slumped on the ground, and a trace of unbearableness flashed in his eyes. When he was determined to leave, Zheng Xiuning grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"...Cousin, why are you treating me like this?" Zheng Xiuning raised his head, his face was full of tears, but Zheng Yanhe saw that there was some viciousness in her eyes, and his heart was mixed for a while.
