Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 75 Doubt
Mrs. Lin paused while holding the handkerchief, and her face was a little ugly.

However, when she saw Jing Ning standing aside, she straightened up and said with a sullen expression, "What are you talking about, Mr. Prime Minister? If the two of them don't really love each other, how could my nephew give it to the two of you?" Miss sent a love letter? And exchanged a jade pendant?"

"..."

"If the prime minister doesn't believe it, you can ask the eldest lady. The eldest lady was also there at the time, and she was almost misunderstood. She and my family, Minzhi, are in love with each other!"

Love each other?

Zheng Anyan's face changed slightly.

Madam Lin continued.

"When Xiu Ning said that at the time, I didn't believe it. After all, the eldest lady was engaged to the Xiao family, and she had never met my nephew. How could she make a private appointment for life? Only later did I find out that she and my nephew were married. My nephew knows the second lady of your mansion."

"It's just that the second lady is thin-skinned. When this matter was discovered suddenly, she felt a little flustered, so she said that the love letter belonged to the eldest lady, and almost misunderstood us!"

Speaking of which, why can't Zheng Anyan understand what happened?
This is just Zheng Xiuning's deliberate calculation!
Her original idea was to frame Jing Ning for the crime of adultery!

Zheng Anyan's chest rose and fell, and the hands under his sleeves were shaking slightly.

"Master Prime Minister, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Lin was still muttering about it, when she suddenly noticed that something was wrong with Zheng Anyan's expression, she felt a twinge in her heart, and hurriedly tried to make a sound.

If Princess Danyang hadn't mentioned something, Mrs. Lin would never have come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage.

Her goal was originally to be the daughter of the prime minister's mansion. Marrying the daughter of the prime minister's mansion will not only make a good future for her nephew, but also bring her whole family to a higher level. Zheng Xiuning, a concubine, naturally Don't look down on her.

It's just that Princess Danyang is right about one thing——

Even Zheng Xiuning is a concubine, and now she is also Princess Lu's adopted daughter!

What's more, the position of the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion is still vacant until now, and Aunt Yang is the only one in Zheng Anyan's backyard. Who knows if Aunt Yang will turn around in the future?
If it wasn't for the presence of scruples outsiders, Zheng Anyan would have already lost his temper.

But at this moment, he could only calm down the anger in his heart, barely maintaining the calmness and politeness on his face.

"Mrs. Lin is right. Since the younger generations are in love with each other, it's not good for us elders to interfere. It's just that Xiu Ning is still young, so it's better for our two families to agree on the date of marriage first, and wait until Xiu Ning is old." Marry again."

It's that simple?
Mrs. Lin was stunned, and the set of arguments she had prepared before coming to the prime minister's mansion was useless at this moment.

Probably never thought that the Prime Minister's Mansion would agree so easily, right?
She was immediately overjoyed, "Since the Prime Minister has said so, I will prepare the dowry when I go back, plan the wedding date, and wait for the second lady and Ji to come through!"

Even if you can't marry Jingning for your nephew, it would be nice to get Princess Lu's adopted daughter!
After all, Prince Lu's Mansion is a member of the royal family!

Zheng Anyan had a smile on her lips, but her expression was not good-looking.

After all, the concubine who has been held in the palm of his hand for so many years wants to kill his most beloved eldest daughter. Who can understand Zheng Anyan's affection as a father?
"Since this is the case, this marriage has been settled. After Mrs. Lin returns, let Mr. Lin not worry, just cultivate well."

When Lin Minzhi was mentioned, Zheng Anyan's eyes flashed with disgust.

The most famous dandy in the capital, who hangs around Huajie and Liuxiang, is obsessed with cockfighting and running dogs, is ignorant and ignorant, how can such an incompetent man make Zheng Anyan feel good about him?

Madam Lin naturally did not see the disgust in Zheng Anyan's eyes.

At this moment, she was immersed in the joy of her nephew's marriage with the prime minister's mansion, and she was extremely happy when she learned that Zheng Xiuning, the adopted daughter of Concubine Lu, would be the daughter-in-law of her Lin family in the future.

"If that's the case, then I'll take my leave. My nephew has been asking me about the Second Miss all day. I'll go back today so that he can feel at ease."

Zheng Anyan didn't speak, but responded lightly.

He waved his hand and asked the ecstatic Mrs. Lin to be sent out.

Jing Ning looked at Mrs. Lin, who was beaming with joy, and even walked briskly, slowly turned her gaze back, and put her gaze on her father.

At this time, Zheng Anyan's expression was calm, but deep in his eyes was a storm that was about to come.

She pursed her lips tightly and said: "Father, that young master of the Lin family is ignorant, so he is not a good person at first glance. Why did you agree to his marriage with his sister?"

"Then why didn't Jing Ning just say anything to stop him?"

Zheng Anyan didn't answer Jing Ning's words, but instead asked back, staring at Jing Ning's eyes is also dim.

Jing Ning knew that her father was beginning to suspect. The recent events that happened one after another, as well as the inexplicable abnormalities and changes in her body, were always suspicious.

But she wasn't intimidated by it.

She lowered her eyes and said, "Daughter. My daughter didn't know what to say, but my daughter was very scared. That day in the temple, including my sister and Aunt Yang, they all said that I had an affair with Mr. Lin, and that I saw it with my own eyes. I stayed with Mr. Lin alone, but I was the one who found that love poem in my sister’s room, and it wasn’t me who met Mr. Lin.”

As she spoke, she bit her lip tightly, and the circles of her eyes gradually turned red.

"I explained to my sister, but it was regarded as adultery, so my daughter was afraid. My daughter was afraid that if I spoke out to stop this marriage just now, it would be considered to have an affair with Mr. Lin again. It was said that I was jealous and didn't want my sister to marry me. Married to the Lin family, it seems that what the daughter does is wrong."

As she spoke, her voice choked up, and she buried herself in Zheng Anyan's arms.

Zheng Anyan's expression darkened, and he hugged him, patiently comforting him.

"Okay, father knows, father didn't misunderstand you."

However, Jing Ning's sobbing never stopped. She raised her head while sobbing, as if she was very puzzled: "Father, Princess Danyang told me that my sister has been using me all the time, just to provoke me. The conflicts between me and other families, so that my reputation will be ruined, so that my father will dislike me."

"."

"Father, did my daughter do something wrong? Why do Aunt Yang and my sister hate me so much?"

His eyes sank, and a cold light flashed across his eyes, but he never stopped in his actions to comfort Jing Ning, and he still gently stroked Jing Ning's hair.

"Don't you still have a father? It's enough for your father to like you. What's more, Aunt Yang is just an aunt with a rough background, and Xiu Ning has been raised outside for so many years. She has been taught by you, so she has a bad personality. .”

He spoke in a calm voice, and when he mentioned Aunt Yang and Zheng Xiuning, his voice was calm.

After all, of these two people, one has painstakingly lurked for many years, and the other is soft on the outside and poisonous on the inside. If there is any affection in the past, after knowing the good things they have done to Jingning in the past four years, it has almost faded away.
