Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 399
The emperor was also taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Jing Ning inexplicably, and said in a low voice, "Why did you say that?"

Cai Feng bowed and said: "Your Majesty, according to the laws of our country, a man is not allowed to divorce his wife easily, unless the woman commits seven crimes. The young lady is childless and jealous. General Xiao is the pillar of the country. , so I think that the Holy One should give the two of them peace."

Before Jing Ning could speak, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother couldn't listen any longer. Xiao's father stood up and stared at Cai Feng with a pair of sharp eyes, obviously angry.

"Master Cai is really lenient." The coldness in Xiao's father's words was not concealed at all. After he let go of the aura he had experienced on the battlefield, the banquet was suddenly depressed, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from Cai Feng's forehead. .

"I don't know where Master Cai saw that Ning'er is jealous?" Mother Xiao also looked at Cai Feng coldly at this time, and asked.

Seeing Xiao's father and Xiao's mother defending herself like this, Jing Ning felt a warm current in her heart, her face was a little moved, she slightly pursed her lips, and tried her best to hold back the astringency in her eyes.

"Miss Wanxi's situation in the General's Mansion may not be very good, and she died tragically in prison, and Miss Ji Qing died of illness after staying in the General's Mansion for only a few days. I am afraid that these two incidents have nothing to do with Young Madam can't get away with it." Although Cai Feng's complexion was not very good, there was no trace of fear in his tone, instead he looked at Jing Ning aggressively, as if he was interrogating a prisoner.

The emperor frowned when he heard the words. It's not that he didn't suspect that these two incidents were related to Jingning. He also sent people to investigate secretly, but they didn't find any valuable clues. Although he is the emperor, he also You cannot convict others without evidence.

"Lord Cai may have misunderstood me. Wanxi committed suicide because she poisoned Princess Lu, and Ji Qing died because of overwhelmed thoughts. Why did Master Cai place such an unwarranted crime on me? Could it be that Mrs. Cai has some selfish intentions?" Jing Ning showed a slight smile on her face, she stood up calmly and looked at Cai Feng, her eyes and eyebrows were indifferent, but there was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.

"I heard that Miss Cai has been fond of General Xiao for a long time." Lan Yao's voice sounded at the right time.

The whispers of the people in the banquet suddenly became louder.

"I heard that some time ago Miss Cai didn't think about food and drink because of her sweetheart, so it turns out that sweetheart is General Xiao?"

"No wonder Mrs. Cai wants to let the young lady reconcile with the general. I'm afraid he wants to put his daughter in the general's residence."

"As expected of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, the ability to pick the bones in the egg is really unique."

Cai Feng's face turns blue and pale, while Cai Yanshan turns red and stares at Jing Ning and Lan Yao bitterly.Lan Yao cast a contemptuous look at her.

"So that's the case, but I'm afraid Mrs. Cai will waste his thoughts in vain. The only daughter-in-law of my Xiao family is Jing Ning." Father Xiao's words were very firm, and Jing Ning was moved and smiled at Father Xiao.

Cai Feng's complexion became even more ugly when he heard this.If his wife and daughter hadn't forced him to die, he would definitely not have done something to ruin the marriage, but since he did it, he would do it to the end.A flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he knelt down to the emperor suddenly.

"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, the humble minister does have selfish intentions, but the Young Madam really has nothing to show for it. Heirs are a big deal. I hope the Holy Majesty will think twice."

Jing Ning's smile froze. Indeed, she had no children. When Concubine Ji Guifei was still alive, she also used the same reason to force Ji Qing into the General's Mansion. She hated this point deeply, but she couldn't refute it.

"Cai Aiqing's words are somewhat reasonable, and Cai Qing's daughter is also a well-known talented woman in the capital, Jingning, you should also consider it for the general's mansion." Although the emperor was a little bit troubled, he was eager to let Cai Yashan marry her. Entering the General's Mansion, in this way there will inevitably be a rift between the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is a good thing for him.

Jing Ning's face flashed a bit of anger when he heard the words, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother were still sitting there, the emperor didn't speak to them, but put pressure on himself, clearly wanting him to open his mouth and allow Cai Yashan to enter the mansion.If she refused directly, the Emperor would definitely be dissatisfied, but she would never agree. When Jing Ning was in a difficult situation, Father Xiao spoke up.

"The Holy Majesty's kindness is appreciated by the General's House, but children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and Lin'er and Ning'er also have their own plans, and this matter should not be forced, it's better to let it go, after all, twisted melons are not sweet. "

Xiao's father paused to look at Cai Feng and said in a deep voice: "Besides, my general's mansion is probably an ominous place, otherwise Wanxi and Ji Qing would not have lost their lives at a young age. Master Cai must want his daughter to be safe. stop."

Father Xiao was obviously threatening Cai Feng, and the threatening meaning in those words made the emperor's brows twitch. Thinking of Wanxi and Ji Qing's fate, Cai Feng's complexion suddenly turned pale.

"Although my husband is good, Ms. Cai is also a beautiful woman, why should I be obsessed with it?" Jing Ning looked at Cai Yashan, hoping that Cai Yashan would take the initiative to give in a step, which would be good for everyone.

Cai Yashan's eyes widened when she heard the words, there was a hint of despair in her eyes, and her voice was a little hoarse: "If Yashan can't marry General Xiao in this life, I would rather die!" After saying that, she rushed to the side pillars.

"Shan'er!" Cai Feng's voice trembled, and when he rolled his eyes, he was so frightened that he passed out, and everyone at the banquet was also full of horror.Fortunately, the guards at the side quickly stopped her. Although Cai Yashan hurt her forehead, her life was not in danger.

"Quickly send the imperial doctor!" the emperor whispered.

Jing Ning frowned, feeling a little bored in her heart, there was no such person as Cai Yashan in the memory of her last life, and she didn't know why this person was so obsessed with Xiao Rin, even caring about her life. It is really puzzling.

"It seems that this time it's not easy to deal with." Lan Yao looked at Jing Ning worriedly, Jing Ning forced a smile and said nothing.

The imperial doctor came quickly, and after a simple bandage for Cai Yashan, he carried her down and took away the unconscious Cai Feng.

"Xiao Aiqing, this daughter of Cai Qing really has a deep affection for Xiao Lin." The emperor said with deep meaning.

Jing Ning frowned, listening to the emperor's meaning, is he going to forcibly point out the marriage today?

"It's just that Luo Hua intends to be ruthless."

"Oh? How does Xiao Aiqing know that running water is ruthless?"

Father Xiao smiled when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you ask Lin'er after she returns."

The smile on the emperor's face froze, and only then did he realize that he had been tricked by Xiao's father to delay the attack.He didn't want to get angry under the responsibility, so he nodded in agreement.

Jing Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and admired Xiao's father's ability to respond very much. In this way, before Xiao Lin came back, Cai Yashan would definitely not be able to enter the General's Mansion. Better.
