Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 27
The banquet didn't last long, and when Zheng Xiuning's incident happened, the old lady didn't have much face left.

Sitting in the carriage, the old lady's expression was never good from the beginning to the end. Jing Ning knew that she was anxious about Zheng Xiuning's matter, so she smiled in her heart.

"What does grandma think of today's events?"

Unexpectedly, Jing Ning would speak suddenly, and the old lady was a little surprised.

Thinking of all the things that might have happened if she hadn't bumped into her today, the old lady's heart became colder: "How does Jing Ning see what happened today?"

There was some hesitation on her face, "Jingning."

The old lady opened her eyes, and there was a flash of light in her slightly narrowed eyes.

"Father said that you should look at things objectively, but Xiu Ning is Jing Ning's younger sister. With this relationship, Jing Ning is afraid that her conclusions will be biased, so she dare not say more, but my father once taught Jing Ning, no matter what You have to stay calm at any time and anywhere, and don't be impulsive, Jing Ning's tone of voice towards Princess Danyang is a little agitated today, and he has failed his father's teaching."

Jing Ning lowered her head, quietly waiting for the old lady's words.

After a while, the old lady said slowly: "It's not your fault, you've done a good job today."

After all, he didn't rush over and attack people like the past few times.

The carriage quickly returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The old lady got out of the carriage, and said to the servant who came up to her with an ugly expression: "Go to your second lady's yard, and tell her to roll over here!"

This was the first time in so many years that the old lady spoke to Zheng Xiuning in such a tone.

The servants at the door were worried, thinking about how the second lady offended the old lady.

The old nanny sent by the Yang family flashed her face, then lowered her head the next moment, "Old lady, the second miss has been kneeling in your yard since she came back, and it has been two quarters of an hour now."

The old lady was taken aback, and immediately walked over quickly.

Then Jing Ning, who got off the carriage, lowered his eyes to hide the sneer in his eyes.

After all, the old lady still loves Zheng Xiuning, no, as soon as she heard that her precious granddaughter knelt for a quarter of an hour, she rushed over in a hurry.

It seems that Yang's and Zheng Xiuning's bitter plan has worked after all.

When I arrived in the yard, I saw Zheng Xiuning kneeling at the door. Her face was pale, and her thin body was like a fragile reed in the wind, as if it would fall down in the next moment.

The old lady snorted coldly, ignored her, and went straight into the yard.

But Jing Ning, who was walking behind, went up to help her up, but suddenly heard the old lady shout: "Jing Ning, do you dare to try to help her up?"

Jing Ning's hands stopped.

Zheng Xiuning was ruthless in his heart, but his face was pale and pitiful: "Sister, don't worry about me, otherwise, grandma will blame you too."

Jing Ning frowned: "But you are injured, if you are kneeling down, how can this body hold up? Just wait, I will go and beg my grandmother!"

With that said, he hurried into the house.

The moment she turned around, her complexion also became calm, and there was even a hint of sarcasm on the corners of her lips.

"Grandmother, sister her."

The old lady interrupted her with a wave of her hand, "You don't need to plead for her, this is a disaster she caused herself, and she should learn a lesson herself."

It's just a lesson learned.

The sarcasm at the corner of Jing Ning's mouth deepened. If it were him, the old lady would have been furious long ago, but who made Zheng Xiuning stay with the old lady for so many years, and even though he made a mistake today, it hasn't caused a big mistake yet?

She didn't plead any more, just sat quietly.

But in order to show how much her sister cares about her sister and how restless she is, she has to look up from time to time.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the sun gradually set to the west.

At this time, there was a sudden exclamation from outside: "Second Miss!"

Zheng Xiuning fainted.

When she was carried into the room, her forehead was sweating, her face was pale, and she seemed to have walked around the gate of hell.

Yang rushed forward in panic, hugged Zheng Xiuning, and sobbed: "Silly girl, mother has already told you to admit your mistake when the old lady comes back. Why are you so disobedient? How can you be here?" The old lady knelt in the courtyard for so long, you, your body is weak, wouldn't this kill you?"

The face of the old lady who entered the room darkened.

Jing Ning narrowed his eyes.

Yang said this deliberately, the purpose is to arouse the old lady's love for Zheng Xiuning, she can't let him do what he wants.

Putting her hands into her sleeves, she glanced at Bihua next to her, who immediately understood, and jumped out indignantly: "Aunt Yang, what do you mean by that? Could it be that Second Miss did something wrong by herself and still Can't you be punished?"

"Bi Hua!"

Jing Ning immediately yelled, "Shut up!"

Bihua's eyes turned red: "Miss, what did the servant say wrong? It was originally the fault of the second lady. The second lady hurt herself and framed Princess Danyang. If you really believe her, go to Princess Danyang." Trouble, if there is any conflict here, how could the Prince Liu's Palace let our Prime Minister's Palace go?"

After hearing Bihua's words, the old lady's eyes turned cold.

The worry that had arisen in Zheng Xiuning's heart just now because of Zheng Xiuning's fainting had all dissipated at this moment.

This girl is right, if today is not wrong, Jing Ning, who loves her sister like her life, might really offend Liu Wangfu, how can Zheng Xiuning afford the consequences?
Clenching her palms tightly, Yang hated Bihua to the core.

But she also knew that at this moment, the most important thing was to restore the old lady's love for Xiu Ning.

So she took out the handkerchief and pressed it at the corner of her eyes, and said with a twitch: "Yes, today's incident is indeed Xiuning's fault. She offended Princess Danyang. Even if you teach her something, old madam, I dare not It's not right to say half a sentence, but, old lady, you watched Xiu Ning grow up, don't you know what kind of temperament she is? No matter how courageous she is, she would not dare to do such a thing!"

Jing Ning also took a step forward and said anxiously:
"Grandmother, Auntie is right. Don't you understand the character of the second younger sister? How could she do such a thing?"

Yang lowered her head, pressed her handkerchief to the corners of her eyes, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally listening to Xiu Ning's narration, she thought that this girl Jing Ning had already become suspicious of Xiu Ning, but now it seems that she is still the same.

Now that she has no doubts about Xiu Ning, things will be much easier to handle.

"Jing Ning, you know that Xiu Ning has always kept herself safe. Even if she had conflicts with Princess Danyang in the past, she would just turn around and leave when she saw Princess Danyang."

Yes, she just told herself all this, and then encouraged herself to offend people who shouldn't be offended.

But she bent down to support Yang Shi: "Auntie, get up quickly, of course Jingning will rest, not to mention that Princess Danyang is domineering, who knows if she deliberately framed my sister?"

As she said that, she turned her head and glanced at the old lady: "Grandmother, do you think so?"

Seeing the anxiety on Jing Ning's face, and the pale Zheng Xiuning lying on the bed, the old lady frowned.

She snorted coldly, "So what? Regardless of who is right and who is wrong in what happened today, Princess Danyang has already let me tell the prime minister's mansion to discipline this girl. If my punishment is not severe enough, she will do it herself!"
