Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 35
The next day.

The sky is getting whiter.

Jing Ning had already woken up, but instead of going out, she got up early in the morning to copy Buddhist scriptures.

She held the pen in an extremely stable posture, and wrote quickly and beautifully. She didn't put down the pen until the last page of Buddhist scriptures was copied, and blew on the paper.

Standing up, he took the copied Buddhist scriptures to greet the old lady.

During these days, Jing Ning ran very diligently in the old lady's yard, and the servants there were no longer as surprised as they were at first, but became familiar with it.

It's just that Jing Ning came at an unlucky time this time, when he entered the door, a teacup happened to be thrown out of it.

Fortunately, Jing Ning quickly dodged it, otherwise he would have been injured.

Looking up, I saw the old lady sitting on the upper hand, looking at the servants in front of me with an ugly face, and said sharply: "You are all old people who have been with me for so many years, you would never think that you would do such a thing, This thing, whoever you took it, hand it over, because you have served me for so many years, I will spare you for the time being!"

"If I take someone to search and find it in one of your rooms, it will not be as simple as selling it."

Jing Ning walked into the door and called softly, "Grandmother."

This sound was very low, but for a room that was in silence, it could be said to be very loud.

The old lady turned her head and saw Jing Ning standing at the door.

Jing Ning walked up to the old lady with a normal expression, and glanced at the servants lined up, and saw many familiar faces, all of whom were servants from the old lady's yard.

A look of curiosity appeared on her face at the right time, "Grandma, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, it's just that some unsightly servants made a mistake."

The old lady said coldly, then turned her head to the housekeeper beside her and said: "Housekeeper, you take someone to search their room, I want to see who stole my things!"

"Yes."

The voice that sounded was low and pleasant, with a kind of indistinguishable clarity.

This is the second time that Jing Ning began to look at the young housekeeper carefully.

It was a very handsome man, with slender eyebrows, narrow and long eyes, and the most acclaimed peach blossom eyes, but such a pair of eyes, embedded in a handsome and soft face, did not have any sense of enchantment, Only four words come to mind——

Graceful as a lotus.

Jing Ning watched carefully, until the other party also looked over, and then suddenly realized that she was fascinated by a man.

She looked away and stopped looking.

At this time, the servants who searched had already returned, but the news they brought back was that the old lady's lost things had not been found in the courtyard of these servants.

Seeing the old lady's frown, Jing Ning finally said, "It's strange, why didn't I find it? Did it hide too well, or did the person who stole grandma's things not come from grandma's yard?"

After listening to Jing Ning's words, the old lady finally understood.

That's right, she always thought that the people in her own yard did it, but she didn't think of the people in other yards.

After all, most of the people in my yard are old people who have been with me for more than 20 or [-] years. The possibility of doing such a thing is very small, but it is not necessarily the case for people in other yards.

Thinking of this, her expression turned cold, but the housekeeper thoughtfully asked people to search the other yards as well.

Such a big movement naturally alarmed Yang.

She immediately rushed to the old lady's yard and asked the old lady what happened: "Mother, what happened?"

The old lady ignored Yang Shi, until now she still remembers Zheng Xiuning's matter on Yang Shi, so naturally she has no old face towards her.

It was Jing Ning who explained.

"Auntie, grandma has lost something and suspects it was stolen by a servant, so she is asking someone to search for it."

Yang asked hesitantly: "But, this movement is too loud, right?"

"Why, do you think that what my old lady lost is nothing, or do you think that my old lady is old and doesn't even have the right to mobilize people in the mansion?"

The old lady slammed her crutches hard, and Yang suddenly became panicked: "No, no, no, my daughter-in-law definitely didn't mean that, it's just that you didn't inform me in advance, mother."

"Why, I searched my home, do I still need a prophet to tell you?"

The old lady spoke sharply, and her face became more and more ugly.

The old lady is actually very reluctant to let a concubine take charge of the prime minister's mansion.

But the prime minister's mansion has no mistress, and the old lady herself is getting older and has no energy, so the power of the prime minister's mansion can only fall into Yang's hands. In addition, Yang's work has been conscientious over the years, and the superficial effort has been extremely good. Well, gradually won the trust of the old lady and Zheng Anyan.

However, many things that have happened recently have made the old lady dissatisfied with Yang.

Especially at this moment, seeing Yang's questioning of his order, this dissatisfaction has reached its peak.

Having said so much, Yang naturally couldn't speak anymore.

Anyway, the old lady couldn't find anything in her yard.

She wrote the book tremblingly, but Jing Ning had already grabbed the old lady's sleeve, and asked puzzledly: "Grandmother, you are in such a hurry, the stolen must be very important things."

The old lady looked a little tired: "That is a token of love that your grandfather gave me when he was young. It is a hairpin with a pair of dragons and phoenixes engraved on it."

A dragon and a phoenix among people are a match made in heaven.

This is the most sincere promise made by Mrs. Zheng to the old lady decades ago.

In fact, she did fulfill her promise. She did not have a single concubine or any extra children during her lifetime. She only had her first wife and legitimate son for the rest of her life.

It is precisely because of such an enviable love that the old lady never forced Zheng Anyan to renew no matter how dissatisfied she was.

Because I am a person who has experienced it, I know how to have a lover.

Jing Ning held the old lady's hand, and there seemed to be some emotion in his expression: "Grandpa loves grandma very much."

The old lady was in a better mood, with nostalgia on her face, "Your father also loves your mother very much, and all the men in our Zheng family are affectionate!"

"Yes."

She was born with emotion, and she glanced over Yang's body from the corner of her eye, and saw the hand hidden in her sleeve, which was already tightly clenched.

The smile on Yang's lips was also a little stiff.

Listening to my nominal mother-in-law and my stepdaughter talking about my husband and another woman's deep love between husband and wife, no matter how generous a woman is, it is unbearable.

Not to mention someone like Yang, who is extremely stingy?
However, she couldn't refute, or even express dissatisfaction, because she knew that the most important thing in this prime minister's mansion was the dead woman, and she was a poor wretch who couldn't even compare to a woman!

This realization accelerated the collapse of her heart, causing her sharp nails to pierce the skin of her palm.

In addition to that, there is another person who cannot keep his cool.

That person was standing behind Jing Ning.
