The rebirth of the first daughter of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 33 Who's Game
She remembered that when the search servants from the mansion came, she dragged Nangong Ling into the water in desperation. Later, when she remembered the hairpin, she could not find it. She thought it had fallen into the water, so she also I didn't care much.

It's just why now... She suddenly understood, and looked at Nangong Mingxuan, could it be him.

Could it be that the person who came to search was Nangong Mingxuan, so she picked up this hairpin of hers.

Nangong Mingxuan's expression was normal, and he didn't look at her. He looked calm and composed, so that Su Ruiran's guess could not get any answer from his face.

Looking at Su Chao's expression, he was also calm.

Dad still knew that he hid Nangong Ling privately, and also knew that Nangong Ling was the one who assassinated that day, so Dad should also know about this hairpin.

So don't panic at this time.

Su Ruiran calmed down for a moment, still showing a surprised expression mixed with a little fear: "Why is this hairpin here? Why is there blood on it?"

"Rui Ran, you are familiar with this hairpin. If I remember correctly, it should be something you wear on a daily basis." Yan began.

"That's right, it's indeed mine." Su Ruiran directly admitted that since she knew she couldn't hide it from the beginning, she didn't think about hiding it from the beginning.

"It's just strange, why is your hairpin here? And what about the blood on this hairpin? Rui Ran, do you know where you found this hairpin?"

Listening to Yan Shi's words, Su Ruiran naturally knew that she knew it well, so she said: "I don't know what's going on, but I've lost this hairpin for many days, and it's in De Wang's mansion It must have been found in the palace."

Speaking of which, she looked at Nangong Mingxuan: "I heard that the third master came to visit today, presumably to return this thing, and I have to bother the third master to come here for such a trivial matter. The little girl is really sorry."

Yan Shi snorted: "Are you still going to be stubborn at this time?"

"I don't understand Erniang's words. What I said is the truth, so why speak so hard?"

"Then let the third master personally tell you where this hairpin came from."

Su Ruiran looked at Nangong Mingxuan, but Nangong Mingxuan seemed to avoid her eyes on purpose, and said, "This hairpin was the night I searched for the assassin, and then I heard movement in the grass ahead, but when I rushed over, it was gone. There is no one left, and this hairpin is left on the ground."

"It's just a hairpin, and it doesn't explain anything. What's more, if the third master really has evidence to prove something, why didn't he know to report to Lord De and come to my mansion in person?" Su Ruiran said confidently, and she also concluded that Nangong Mingxuan was not Dare to tell King De again at this time.

De Wang had already made De Wang unhappy because of the framing of Nan Gongcheng. If such a big incident happened now, how could De Wang give him a good face.After all, Nangong Ling brought the corpse to announce that the assassin had been caught. If he jumped out to stir up trouble at this time and pointed the finger at Miss Su Xiang's family, then De Wang might not be the only one who offended.

It's just that Su Ruiran still doesn't understand one thing.

It would be reasonable to say that Yan or Yanran had seized such a clue and wanted to kill themselves, but why did Nangong Mingxuan go to such lengths?

What's more, from Nangong Mingxuan's standpoint, he should want to marry himself to help him win the position of King De.

Regarding her question just now, Nangong Mingxuan explained in this way: "Miss Su, don't misunderstand, after all, the assassin has already been caught, so there is no need for this matter to become a big deal, let alone let the emperor know, so I took the things and personally It was returned to the mansion."

After hearing what he said, Su Ruiran suddenly understood that Nangong Mingxuan's real purpose was to sell Su Chao a favor, making Su Chao feel that he was the one who suppressed the matter.

In this way, if he asks his father for anything in the future, he will agree to it considering today's favor.

In the previous life, Nangong Mingxuan was not valued by his father because of his status as a concubine. It is no wonder that he would behave like this in this life. After all, it was not once or twice that he was oppressed and restrained by his status as a concubine.

Just like Yan Ran.

No wonder they will come together, it turns out that they all have the same experience.

But what about the concubines?Compared to the early death of her biological mother, she would rather be with her mother as a concubine.The sadness in this is not something Yan Ran can understand.

"Since the third master is here, let's find out about this matter, so as not to cause any trouble in the future." Su Yanran opened her mouth and looked at Su Ruiran, "Sister, I remember that this hairpin is your favorite , you are very precious on weekdays, how come you have never heard of it when you lose it so much?"

She replied: "Such a big incident happened in Prince De's mansion, so what's the matter with my hairpin? Let's divide the importance of the matter. No matter how much I like this hairpin, I won't be so ignorant."

"My sister's explanation is too far-fetched."

"So far-fetched, you can't come up with evidence to prove that I'm not telling the truth."

Su Yanran was at a loss for words for a moment, but she was so overwhelmed that she couldn't speak.

Yan pulled her back, with an obviously displeased expression: "Master, it's too strange that there is blood on this hairpin. It's not because I couldn't do it. Rui Ran dropped the hairpin, but this matter is still related to the affairs of Prince De's mansion." , if you are really involved with the master, it will not be good for our family."

Su Chao didn't speak, and took two more puffs of the cigarette in his hand.

Su Ruiran didn't say much, but looked at Su Chao, waiting to see what her father said.

Since father knew the truth of this matter, he would not sit idly by.Mingxuan for Nangong for nothing else, this person is too dangerous to be exposed.

How can Dad not distinguish between the serious and the serious? Compared with Nangong Ling, what is a King De?Even more so with others.

Seeing that Su Chao didn't speak, Yan became anxious: "Master, this matter can't be settled like this. Since the matter has not been investigated clearly, then we can only wrong Rui Ran first. Why don't you ground Rui Ran first? Cut off her contact with the outside world to prevent any further troubles."

Yan Shi really didn't miss any chance to deal with him.

Seeing that Su Chao didn't say anything, neither agreed nor objected, Su Ruiran hurriedly said: "Father, my daughter is innocent in this matter. If there is no evidence to ground her, it is really unfair to her."

Yan Shi immediately turned her head and said to her: "This matter is related to King De, so what if you are wronged? What's more, you are not allowed to leave the room, and three meals a day are brought in by servants. This is really not too wronged." Ah. If this matter really reaches the ears of King De, I'm afraid you don't know how simple grounding is."

Is she threatening herself?But it is true, so far, the biggest concern for myself and my father is to let King De know that the assassination matter was finally settled.

Sure enough, after listening to Yan Shi's words, Su Chao, who was originally silent, finally spoke up, and said to Su Ruiran: "What your second mother said is not unreasonable. I know this matter well, so you should feel wronged first."

"Daughter understands." Although Su Ruiran said this, she was thinking in her heart that this matter must not be allowed to succeed to Yan Shi. Once she is grounded and locked up, it is equivalent to losing the initiative. What crime, that is not only to let them have the final say.

But is there any other way for me now?As long as someone can prove himself, prove that this hairpin was just lost by himself accidentally.

Yan's mother and daughter had complacent expressions on their faces. After all, Su Chao listened to them this time, and they had won a round. So many times, Su Ruiran escaped from danger, but this time she finally couldn't escape. drop it.

"Rui Ran, although you have been grounded, I believe this matter must have nothing to do with you, it must be just a misunderstanding." Nangong Mingxuan looked at her and said with earnest eyes.

The culprit of all this is just pretending to be a good person here at this time. In her previous life, she would definitely be moved by these words.

But now...hehe, she sneered in her heart, but on the surface she said: "Thank you, Third Master, I also believe that justice is at home, why bother to be a good person after doing bad things?"

Nangong Mingxuan was so choked by her that he couldn't speak.

Su Ruiran held onto her sleeves, which still hid the things she brought when she came here, do you want to take them out?She hesitated for a long time, but in the end she couldn't make a decision.

The brocade bag she brought contained nothing but Nangong Ling's key.

She originally thought that if the situation was so serious that even she couldn't end it, then she would have to carry Nangong Ling out.

But this is also the time when the situation has developed to the most serious, and the current situation is not so unstoppable, but if they wait for death like this, they will really only be able to let Yan Shi and the others succeed.

Su Ruiran struggled with this question over and over again, but was still unable to make a decision.

"In that case, Rui Ran, you should go back to your room first."

Su Chao spoke. Seeing that the matter was about to be settled like this, she still couldn't make a decision at this time, but she couldn't make a decision and had to. Thinking of this, she immediately said: "Wait a minute, Dad, my daughter still has a few words to say. Say."

Su Chao looked at her with a slightly complicated expression: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Su Ruiran took a deep breath, reached into her sleeve with her right hand and grabbed the brocade bag, and was about to take it out.

However, at this moment, a servant suddenly broke in from outside: "Master, master."

"Who told you to come in." Su Chao's expression darkened immediately, "Did you forget my order just now? No one can come in without my consent."

The servant was startled, and knelt on the ground with a "plop": "My lord, please forgive me, this servant didn't do it on purpose, it's just... there are distinguished guests outside asking to see you."

As soon as his words fell, everyone was taken aback.

Su Chao raised his eyebrows: "Who is it?"

"It's King De's eldest son."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was even more surprised.Especially Nangong Mingxuan, when he heard the word "Elder Prince", he suddenly sat up straight.

Why is the eldest brother here at this time?The eldest brother has never had any friendship with Su Chao, so there is only one explanation for why he came at this time, and that is because of today's matter.

Once he came, wouldn't all of his plans for today be destroyed?

Originally, Nangong Mingxuan planned to wait until Su Ruiran was really locked up before interceding with Su Chao on her behalf, and then mentioned a marriage proposal by the way.

If Nangong Cheng came, wouldn't all his previous arrangements be in vain?

What's more, only he himself knows how this bloody hairpin came about.

He didn't pick it up that day, but got it from Nangong Cheng.

He first saw the hairpin in Nangong Cheng's hand, and he recognized it as Su Ruiran's at a glance, so he asked.Nangong Cheng told him that he found it when he was chasing down the assassin that day, and after hearing this, he intentionally tricked the hairpin over.

Naturally, he did not directly tell Nangong Cheng who the hairpin belonged to, but told him that he was framed with the assassin. If he was still holding such a bloody hairpin in his hand at this time, if he was seen , isn't that even more suspicious?It took a lot of effort to explain his suspicion to Dad, it would be bad if people suspected him again.

Where did Nangong Cheng think so much? Hearing what the third brother said, he immediately handed over the hairpin to the third brother to avoid suspicion.
