Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 137 The Dust Settles
It never occurred to Zheng Xiuning that what he and the imperial censor's daughter thought they were doing seamlessly failed to bring down Zheng Jingning, but instead set him on fire, shouldn't it?

Zheng Xiuning didn't have time to refute Jing Ning, but Jing Ning had already taken Wen Xing out of the house first.Zheng Xiuning just stomped his feet angrily, clenched his back teeth and followed with his skirt lifted.In any case, it was an imperial decree, no matter how unwilling she was, she would not dare to oppose the emperor!
As soon as Jing Ning came out of the house, he saw the old lady kneeling on the ground, and she stepped forward to salute the eunuch Zhang, who delivered the decree. The eunuch waved his hands with a bit of arrogance, and said in a high-pitched voice, "Get up."

Jing Ning saluted again, and then went to help the old lady up.Zheng Xiuning also hurried forward to help the old lady, but the father-in-law over there deliberately cleared his throat, and Zheng Xiuning realized that he was blessed.

The father-in-law's attitude obviously didn't teach Jing Ning the way he had just treated Jing Ning, and he said to Zheng Xiuning in a strange way: "Second Miss Zheng really deserves to be a concubine, isn't this etiquette much worse than that of a concubine? The people outside are really blind. The concubine is jealous of Miss Di's cleverness and believes it to be true. Poor Miss Zheng, who was wronged for no reason, and was made into a lone star by her cruel sister. "

If this young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't understand etiquette today, it's really hard for him to say anything, after all, there is someone behind her to help with the arrangements, otherwise, how could the matter where even children in the capital make up songs suddenly turn around? ?These people who are struggling in the deep palace know who can't be offended.But this concubine's young lady doesn't know how to be polite, she knows that this person is here to punish her, yet she is not known by the concubine's young lady.No wonder he is such a useless waste, with such a small trick, he actually tried to involve Huang Wei in vain?
Zheng Xiuning was so angry that his lungs would explode. When did even a little eunuch dare to talk about her?But at this moment, this person is here to preach the imperial decree, Zheng Xiuning could only hold back his apologetic smile, how dare he say that Eunuch Zhang is wrong.

A trace of ridicule flashed in Jing Ning's eyes, and it quickly faded away, and he took up the conversation neither humble nor overbearing: "Eunuch Zhang was joking, but it was only because of a petty fight with his sister, that he bothered him to make a trip in person. It was Jing Ning No, Jing Ning made an apology to Eunuch Zhang." With that said, Jing Ning bowed down and gave a big gift to Eunuch Zhang.

Eunuch Zhang looked at Jingning with satisfaction, but the little girl was unmoved by the rumors that she was so ugly. Now that someone has solved this matter for her, she didn't seem overjoyed.This girl is a good seedling.

Eunuch Zhang's vanity has been greatly satisfied by Jing Ning, not to mention that there is someone behind this master, and he doesn't put on airs in front of Jing Ning at the moment, he cupped his hands and said, "What's wrong with Miss Zheng, don't bother, don't bother." But Ms. Zheng is so broad-minded, the villain admires it. Mrs. Zheng has such a granddaughter, I think it is a great blessing."

Jing Ning helped the old lady to smile without saying a word, only nodded slightly.The old lady exchanged some polite words with Eunuch Zhang, and then sent off Eunuch Zhang who was going to pass the decree to Yushifu.

Zheng Xiuning listened on the sidelines and felt unwilling, and finally got the eunuch to leave. He wanted to raise his head to say something, but was forced back by the old lady's gaze.

"Hmph, what a concubine young lady." The old lady snorted coldly, letting Jing Ning hold her sleeves and go away.

When Jing Ning passed by Zheng Xiuning, he mouthed a sentence, "You will die if you do many injustices." Then Zheng Xiuning understood somehow, and stared at Jing Ning's back with hatred, always thinking that Jing Ning The meaning of the words is full of irony.

Seeing this, Wen Xing glanced at Zheng Xiuning coldly, and said in a bad tone: "Second Miss, don't look. Come here—take Second Miss back to the room and think about it behind closed doors."

"you--"

"Hey, Second Miss, don't get so angry." Wen Xing squinted his eyes and smiled innocently, without any trace of sarcasm, as if he really cared about Zheng Xiuning's maid.

The guards also heard the imperial decree just now, so they naturally "invited" Miss Zheng Er to return to the house without any ambiguity, and closed the door to contemplate for two months.Even though Zheng Xiuning was so bold, he didn't dare to disobey the imperial decree, he only cursed Jingning secretly in his heart.

Here Jing Ning helped the old lady back to the house, and as soon as she sat down, the old lady sighed a little tiredly.Jing Ning made the old lady happy and made another cup of tea. The old lady took a sip and looked up at Jing Ning: "Jingning girl..."

Jing Ning couldn't see what the old lady was thinking, but he just wanted to persuade her not to argue with Zheng Xiuning, after all, they would be sisters.This can't be blamed on the old lady, the prime minister's mansion has few children, and there is no male heir, only her and Zheng Xiuning are the two girls.Zheng Anyan has no other concubines, nor is she greedy for beauty, the old lady just wants to let the prime minister's mansion flourish, so there are only two girls.

"Grandmother, don't worry, I won't care about Xiu Ning." I don't care about her, so I can't blame her for provoking others.Jing Ning smiled, looking harmless to humans and animals.

The old lady nodded in satisfaction, but Jing Ning had some unknown feelings in her heart.Thinking about her previous life, she was bullied so badly by Zheng Xiuning that it is not likely that the old lady would come out and say a word for her. This is partial after all, just because her mother left early, she let Zheng Xiuning bully her.Really ridiculous.

It was only half an hour after Eunuch Zhang left the prime minister's mansion, the concubine daughter of the prime minister's mansion was jealous of the eldest sister, and the news spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital city that she conspired with the imperial censor's daughter to frame the prime minister's concubine daughter.All of a sudden, the literati and ordinary people in the capital were talking about it, and even those who claimed to be noble but said bad things about Jing Ning stood up to apologize to Jing Ning, and spontaneously organized people to clean up the outer wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Words that slander Jingning.

Naturally, Yushi's Mansion also received the imperial decree. Hearing that Yushi was furious, he ordered Yang Qin to be grounded for half a year in a rage, and personally brought a gift to Jingning to apologize.

This matter is over, Zheng Xiuning and Yang Qin not only did not frame Jing Ning, but also ruined their own reputations.On the contrary, Jing Ning was generous and decent. Even if she was framed by this, she didn't have a good reputation like a concubine sister and a daughter of the royal censor.

Xiao Yuan rested her chin and stared at her elder brother lazily, and said with a half-smile: "That's all right now, let someone else take over such good things as sister-in-law's acceptance."

Xiao Lin has long been used to Xiao Yuan's teasing, thinking about it without changing his face, always feeling that there is something wrong with this matter.Although this incident has already reached the emperor's ears, the emperor only regards it as the little girl's slapstick.If it wasn't for someone helping Jing Ning, the emperor would definitely not make an order.

"Brother, what are you thinking?" Xiao Yuan abruptly interrupted Xiao Lin's thoughts, seeing her brother's distraught look, Xiao Yuan sighed helplessly.Only when encountering the matter of his sister-in-law, Xiao Lin, who has always been decisive in killing, would be so hesitant.

Xiao Lin saw through Xiao Yuan's thoughts at a glance but didn't defend herself, and only answered Xiao Yuan's question: "I was thinking, who is behind Jingning's back?"

Xiao Yuan didn't think as much as Xiao Lin, so she opened her mouth and said, "Among the people my sister-in-law knows, the one who can convince the emperor... Could it be the third prince?"
