Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 94 Mother-Daughter Love?

After Mrs. Yang returned to her yard from Zheng Xiuning's boudoir, she was half proud and half apprehensive.

Although she had heard about Zheng Xiuning's scheme, she felt that Zheng Anyan would definitely be able to release Zheng Xiuning, and at worst would ease his attitude, but in recent days, Jing Ning's performance has made her feel like There is a trace of uneasiness.

"There will never be anyone who suspects me. As a mother, how could I harm my daughter?" Thinking of this, Yang suppressed the fear in her heart, showing the joy that her plan was about to succeed.

Thinking of Zheng Anyan's caring attitude towards her daughter, Yang secretly planned the way to deal with Jingning after regaining favor, imagining the scene of Jingning being suppressed by herself.

Just as Yang was dreaming about the bright future in her heart, a noisy voice came from outside the courtyard.Someone shouted: "Something happened! Something happened!"

A young servant came forward with a face full of panic to report that something had happened to the second young lady, the yard was full of snakes, and the master and eldest lady had already passed by.

Yang's heart was full of complacency, but she pretended to be worried and frightened. She sent the servant to see what was going on in a panic, and she would go there later.

Listening to the voices outside, she estimated that it was about the time, and her daughter should have been released, so she walked towards the yard.After all, I am the mother of the second young lady, how can I appear gentle and virtuous if my daughter has an accident and doesn't care about it.

As soon as she reached the middle of the courtyard, Yang saw two figures approaching from a distance.

After hearing the maid's words, Zheng Anyan immediately felt that this was Yang's envoy's trick.He can sit in the position of the current prime minister, so how can he not even understand this little trick?
At first, he didn't doubt Yang Shi because he felt that a tiger's poison does not eat its child.Even if there were no poisonous snakes, how could so many snakes guarantee that Zheng Xiuning would not be injured at all.What's more, using drugs to attract snakes has certain risks. If a few poisonous snakes are attracted, Zheng Xiuning's life will be in danger today.It even threatened the safety of everyone in the prime minister's mansion.

Zheng Anyan even thought about whether Yang wanted to take this opportunity to hurt Jingning.After what happened to Yang Qing last time, Zheng Anyan could be said to be extremely disgusted with Yang Shi, and he also saw clearly Yang Shi's hatred for Jing Ning.So although Yang didn't think that much this time, Zheng Anyan thought of Jingning for the first time.

Thinking of Jing Ning shrinking into her arms in fear when she saw the snake, Zheng Anyan became even more angry.He quickly left Zheng Xiuning's yard and walked towards Yang's.

When Jing Ning saw the anger on his father's face, he knew that his father had already understood that this was a bitter plan.She followed behind Zheng Anyan, intending to see how Yang could get out of this matter this time.

Zheng Anyan hadn't reached Yang's yard when she saw Yang come out of the yard with a face full of panic.

Yang's demeanor was well disguised, but Zheng Anyan had long believed that she did this, and felt that her performance was full of flaws.

The servants caught snakes and rescued people, and Jing Ning took a lot of time to deal with this matter. If Mrs. Yang was really worried about Zheng Xiuning, why didn't she go and have a look immediately?Instead, she waited until the matter was almost settled before showing up so slowly.

Zheng Anyan tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart, and walked towards Yang with a gloomy face.

Yang's heart was full of complacency, thinking that Zheng Anyan was here to comfort her.When he got closer, he found Zheng Anyan's ugly face.

She couldn't help hesitating in her footsteps, and she fell into Zheng Anyan's eyes, which added fuel to her anger.

Yang opened her mouth, wanting to ask: "Master, Xiu Ning her" Before she could finish her sentence, Zheng Anyan snorted coldly: "You still don't know what happened?"

Yang was at a loss for words for a while, and saw Jing Ning behind Zheng Anyan, even though she was dazzled by joy just now, she now realized that things did not develop as she expected.But she didn't expect that Zheng Anyan had already suspected her, she just subconsciously thought that Jing Ning said something, which made Zheng Anyan feel that her lack of discipline caused this to happen.

Jing Ning is another good thing you did.
Yang thought bitterly in her heart, but her face became weaker and more pitiful.

"Master, what are you talking about? My concubine heard that something happened to Xiu Ning, so I hurried to take a look. I saw you coming before I reached the gate of the courtyard. I thought you must know about it." Yes, I just asked you what happened. How is Xiuning?"

Zheng Anyan looked at Yang's hypocrisy, became more angry, and stared at Yang coldly.Yang felt guilty when he saw him, and couldn't stand the pressure and took a step back.Zheng Anyan ignored Yang Shi, flicked his sleeves and walked into Yang Shi's yard.Jing Ning followed behind him, only Yang Shi who didn't understand the situation hesitated in place, looked at the two of them in a daze, and followed.

Zheng Anyan went directly to sit on the grand teacher's chair in the hall, Jing Ning followed, picked up the teapot on the table of the Eight Immortals, and poured a cup of tea for Zheng Anyan, giving him comfort.

Seeing Jing Ning's concern for him, Zheng Anyan's face softened a little, and he didn't know how much he thought of Jing Ning again.Looking at Mrs. Yang outside the house, Zheng Anyan slammed the teacup on the ground, causing the tea to splash everywhere.

Yang Shi walked in and wanted to go to another chair to sit down, but was startled by the teacup smashed in front of her.The tea splashed over her dress, making a big brown stain.

"What a Yang family, this bitter trick is really well used!" Zheng Anyan's voice was full of anger.

Yang's heart was shocked: How could Zheng Anyan think that I did this?

She raised her head and looked at Zheng Anyan pitifully: "Master, Xiu Ning is my daughter, why would I find a snake to harm her!"

Zheng Anyan smiled coldly when he heard the words: "Didn't you say that you just came out of the yard to ask me what happened? How do you know that Xiu Ning was bitten by a snake now?!"

Surprised, Yang realized that there was a loophole in her words, and hurriedly made up for it.

"The concubine heard the servants shouting to catch the snake, and guessed that Xiu Ning was bitten by a snake, so she hurried to look."

"Oh? Really? Then why did it take so long for you to leave? Besides, you just heard me say that Zheng Xiuning was bitten by a snake, why didn't you react at all!"

Zheng Anyan slapped the table, and said angrily: "Yang Yinling! I think you did this! Disregarding other people's safety to lure snakes with drugs, trying to make me soften Zheng Xiuning's heart. What a bitter trick, I didn't expect you to be Such a scheming woman!"

Yang was so frightened that she fell to her knees, and wanted to argue that this was not her plan, but because of Zheng Xiuning's safety, she couldn't think of anything to refute.She was about to ask Zheng Anyan what evidence she had to suspect her, but when she looked up, she saw Jing Ning's half-smile eyes, and she choked on what she wanted to say.

"Auntie, don't be sad, my father suspects you for a reason."

When Mrs. Yang heard these words, cold sweat broke out on her back.

"When something like this happens to my sister, the elder sister must of course investigate to avoid future troubles. It just so happened that I smelled a strange smell on my sister. Although my sister said it was the scent of newly bought rouge, it can be used just in case, father Let the doctor smell it, but the doctor immediately said that it was the smell that attracted the snake." When Jing Ning said this, he paused and looked at Yang.
