Chapter 471 Begging
Zeng Ning cried so hard that her heart was broken by crying. She hurriedly told the old lady, "Quickly go to Baishen Hospital and ask him to come over quickly."
"Old madam." Shengdi came in, looked at the woman and said, "Don't leave yet, stay here to be a witness."
"This..." The mother-in-law was in a dilemma.
Shengchi is a slave and the old lady is her master. They both give her orders at the same time. Who should she listen to?
Just when she was in trouble, she heard an authentic voice, "Old madam, how did Miss Ningbiao get hurt? Don't you want to know?"
As soon as the woman heard this, she planned to stay in the house.
She could see from a distance that Miss Ning Biao rushed out from behind a century-old locust tree and rushed towards Prince Chu while yelling. Fortunately, Prince Chu was smart and avoided it. Otherwise, no matter what the circumstances, , If Master Chu hugged her or touched her body, this matter would be difficult.
When Zeng Ning heard this, she became anxious, panicked, and cried even louder, "Auntie, it hurts so much, my face hurts so much, please save me quickly, go get the doctor, wuwu... ...Auntie, my face is going to be ruined, wuwu... please, please save me for the sake of my father..."
She actually wanted to use her father to make Zeng relent and let her go.
Shengdi glanced at her coldly, sneered, and told Mrs. Zeng who had calmed down, "Old madam, this is what happened..."
He told the story again, without adding or subtracting a word, and asked the woman to testify, and then said, "Fortunately, my eldest son avoided it, otherwise, he would not have the face to see the princess at this time. ”
"What my eldest son means is that if such a scheming woman is kept in the Chu Mansion, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the eldest son and the princess. The old lady also knows the princess's temperament. She is a very kind-hearted woman. If she has a calculation in her mind, Wu Xin, no matter how powerful the princess is in martial arts, she will probably fall into trouble.”
"Auntie, no, I didn't... I really didn't, you have to believe me..." Zeng Ning heard that Chu Jingqi wanted to drive her out of the Chu Mansion. She felt a pain in her heart, panicked, and cried again. , "I really didn't mean it, I...wuwu, I just walked there , when I saw a snake, I would panic and pounce on the person coming. I was so nervous at the time that I thought it was some maid or a woman. I didn’t realize clearly that it was Mr. Chu, my great-aunt. Everything I said is true. You have to believe me and don’t drive me away..."
Shengdi snorted coldly, "I was the closest to you at that time, why didn't you pounce on me?"
At that time, he was walking behind the prince, only an arm's length away. When Zeng Ning rushed out, the prince did not stop. Instead, he walked a few steps quickly and passed the old locust tree. And he happened to reach the old locust tree. Beside the tree, Zeng Ning passed by him and instead of pounced on him, she pounced on the prince. This purpose was self-evident.
Shengdi stared at Zeng Ning with disdain.
After Zeng understood the whole story, his face turned pale and he slumped in his chair.
She moved her eyes to Zeng Ning, who was still crying, but her voice was obviously much lower due to a guilty conscience. Her eyes were full of disappointment and pain.
Ever since her two nieces and nephews came to live in Chu Mansion, to be honest, she was happy. While she was happy, she also loved them with all her heart. She thought she had been good to them in the past two years, especially the young ones with small mouths. The sweet and sensible Zeng Ning.
All the clothes were picked out and bought for her to wear all year round, and there was no shortage of jewelry for them. Every month’s monthly money, the girl’s family in the house was ten taels and twenty taels of silver, she gave them to the sisters. Fifty taels of silver per person is as much as the monthly salary of a Marquis's wife.
In this way, every month, she would give them some money in private. However, when she treated each other like this, she got a bite in return.
The great-niece of her mother's family covets her grandson-in-law, and if she succeeds, then she... When she thinks of the consequences, a layer of cold sweat breaks out on Zeng's back.
Fortunately, Chu Jingqi was clever and did not let her succeed. Otherwise, in the future, there would be a scheming Zeng Ning between Chu Jingqi and Yu Niang. How would her Yu Niang live?
...How should she face Yu Niang?
Fortunately, Zeng Ning did not succeed.
Zeng Ning......
Zeng looked at Zeng Ning with sharp eyes, shooting at her like a sharp sword. Li Ke made a decision in his heart, "I will let Dr. Bai heal your face, but you should go back to Zeng's house." , I...can’t keep you here.”
"No...aunt, I don't want to go back. It's...they misunderstood me. They really misunderstood me. I didn't mean it. I really didn't mean to pounce on Prince Chu..."
Zeng Ning was scared and ignored the pain on her face. She quickly climbed off the kang and knelt in front of Zeng, crying and begging.
"Auntie, for the sake of my parents and grandmother, don't drive me back. If I'm driven back like this, my life will be ruined. Auntie, please, I beg you. Already..."
As he said that, he kowtowed vigorously on the ground.
After knocking twice, Mrs. Zeng ordered Qingya and others to restrain her and not let her continue knocking.
Mrs. Zeng sighed and said, "Is it a misunderstanding, or do you have that intention? You know it in your heart."
"It's so late at night, why are you wandering off somewhere?"
"Still hiding behind the old locust tree."
"Before, I asked the gatekeeper about the whereabouts of Prince Chu under the pretext of asking. Why did you ask him? He is your cousin-in-law."
"You said you saw a snake. The courtyard of Chu's house is so big and there are so many people. No one has ever seen a snake in the backyard. How come it was such a coincidence that you saw it?" "You said you didn't have that heart. You But if you explain it clearly, maybe everyone will believe it.”
"Zeng Ning, although my aunt is old, she is not senile yet."
"Now that you have done it, you must dare to do it."
Finally, he decided, "You can't stay here. If you don't want to go back, that's fine. I'll send you to live in Zhuangzi for a while. I will arrange your marriage this month. When you leave, This matter, if you want to have a good marriage, it is impossible. I plan to marry you out of town, are you willing?”
If she didn't want to, she would send her back to Zeng's house.
From the very beginning, she knew that this grandniece was scheming, but she didn't expect that she would dare to take Chu Jingqi's idea.
She was also careless.
That day, Mrs. Zhuo also mentioned to her Zeng Ning's thoughts about Chu Jingqi and asked her to be careful. She didn't take it to heart, thinking that the Zeng family had a good family tradition and that kind of people would not appear.
I didn’t expect that...
It can be imagined that Mrs. Zeng's disappointment in Zeng Ning was like the pagoda that had been standing in her heart suddenly collapsed.
Zeng Ning's face was full of despair, crying and unwilling to leave, "Auntie, just let me stay. I will take good care of my aunt. From now on... this kind of thing will never happen again. I swear, aunt, Please, just for the sake of grandma, don’t Send me to Zhuangzi. If I am sent to Zhuangzi, this matter will not be hidden from outsiders. Then my reputation will be ruined. The reputation of the Zeng family, the sixth sister’s marriage... will all be ruined, you Even if it's not for me, you still have to think about Sixth Sister..."
With such a biological sister, the Liao family will probably think hard about Zeng Jing's marriage, right?
Although Liao Jingtang is not the eldest grandson of the Liao family, he is the most promising male heir of the Liao family and is highly valued by his father. His wife, Mrs. Liao, said that first of all, one must have a good character, a good temperament, and a good family background. , appearance is secondary, and dowry is not important, the main thing is good character.
In the past, Mrs. Zeng was not worried that something would go wrong in this marriage, but now that Zeng Ning's incident has happened, if this matter spreads out, even if the Liao family and the Chu family have always been on good terms,... I am afraid that the Liao family will treat Zeng Jing badly. Do you have any ideas?
Even if she does not break off the engagement, in the future, when Zeng Jing enters the Liao family, she will probably get much less respect.
In addition to a strong natal family and dowry, the foundation for a woman to gain a foothold in her husband's family is also the respect given to her by her elders.
Now, Zeng Ning had done something wrong, but Zeng Jing was implicated. How could Mrs. Zeng bear this?
Zeng Ning's words were aimed at Mrs. Zeng, they hit the nail on the head and pierced the old lady's heart.
What she was betting on was the old lady's intolerance.
Sure enough, after Mrs. Zeng thought about it, she finally decided to keep Zeng Ning. However, she arranged for Zeng Ning to live in another courtyard, and she was not allowed to leave the courtyard. Three meals a day were delivered there. .
No one had ever lived in that yard. It was an abandoned yard at the edge of the backyard of Chu's house, close to the avenue and far away from the yard where Xia Zihan lived.
The Zeng family also sent six rough envoys and women to take care of Zeng Ning's daily life. They said they were taking care of her, but in fact they were monitoring and imprisoning her. Zeng Ning was imprisoned there.
Zeng Ning cried endlessly, not wanting to be grounded, not wanting to live in an abandoned yard, or surrounded by dust. However, this time, no matter how much she cried, Zeng would not relent.
……
Mrs. Zeng issued a gag order, and no one was allowed to tell anyone about this matter. Anyone who did tell would be sent to Ren Yazi.
However, Xia Zihan still found out about it the next day.
"Since grandma doesn't want me to know, then I'll just pretend I don't know." Xia Zihan paused with the needle in his hand and looked up at Chu Fei.
Chu Fei heard about this from the girl who delivered food in the kitchen. The girl in the kitchen didn't say anything about it. She just said that Zeng Ning lived in an abandoned yard and she had to deliver food there every day.
You know, Zeng Ning and Zeng Jing have never treated their sisters badly since they lived in the Chu family. Now, Zeng Ning actually lives in an abandoned courtyard, and Zeng Ning and her maid are not allowed to leave the house.
After hearing this, Chu Fei felt that something was different, so he had an extra thought and found out what happened last night from a little girl sweeping the floor in the backyard.
That girl was the daughter of the gatekeeper. She originally wanted to go find her mother and guard the gate with her mother before talking. Unexpectedly, before she got there, she saw that scene from a distance.
At that time, none of the four people present noticed her presence.
