Chapter 1520: Tiger Girl 4
Butler Ding said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "After investigation, it was found that it was Poria, the maid next to the third lady, who was greedy for the prince of your house, so she deliberately framed the third lady and the prince. Poria has been sold, but the Duke of Rongguo had to explain, so my wife's life I came here to apologize and prepare a small profit.”
He took out a gilded gift list from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.
Mrs. Rongguo was stunned: "This, this... how could it be like this?" Was she surprised that the maid was greedy for the prince, or was she surprised that things had developed to this point.
After a while, he calmed down and said: "Well, the courtesy is waived. If these two people fall into the water together, how much the reputation of the third young lady of your house..."
Butler Ding held his head high, with a disdainful smile that could not be concealed on his face: "I don't care about trivial matters. Since I have been framed by the gangster, the three young ladies in my house are not willing to fall into the gangster's scheme, so your house does not have to worry about it. I'll take my leave!"
After saying that, he threw the gift list on the table next to him, turned around and walked out in a big way. He also asked the people waiting in the yard to leave the gift box and left together.
Mrs. Rong Guo Gong was completely shocked. After thinking about it, she stood up, took the gift list, and hurried to Rong Guo Gong's place.
Duke Rong Guo was still in the study, drinking tea with some pride. After hearing Madam elaborate on Butler Ding's words, she immediately asked for the gift list and opened it to read.
Ten catties of red dates; ten catties of ginger; ten catties of longan; ten catties of lotus seeds.
Red dates nourish blood; ginger dispels cold; longan nourishes qi; lotus seeds clear fire. It's quite good at matching, and it's also suitable for people who have fallen into the water to ward off the cold and nourish themselves.
In terms of value, this gift is indeed "thin" enough, but it is also heavy enough. It weighs forty kilograms in total and needs to be carried in a box.
When Duke Rong Guo saw it, his expression changed. Three of these things would be spread on the bed when getting married. The other one was peanuts, which meant "to have a son early".
Duke Rongguo jumped up, walked back and forth a few steps, and immediately said after stopping: "Hurry up and call Chengzong!"
Zhao Chengzong, the eldest son of Rongguo Gong, was called over and was immediately asked by his parents whether the maid who was acting as an internal agent was pregnant.
Zhao Chengzong almost laughed: "How is that possible?"
"How is it impossible?" Rong Guogong threw the gift list to him: "Obviously they already know, maybe this bitch has done everything."
When I opened it, I saw that this forty-pound gift of "Zao Sheng Gui Zi" really stung my eyes.
After failing to catch the geese, the geese pecked her eyes instead. Mrs. Rongguo was also worried: "It's better to find that girl and decide whether to stay or not. We can't let the descendants of the Zhao family wander outside, and one day they will be taken advantage of by others."
If she really got pregnant, was sold, and still gave birth, it would be a big deal. He has a child before he is married, and his reputation is extremely bad if word spreads about it. If the child's biological mother was sold to the hook, what's worse is that the child and mother are there together. Once the matter is revealed, the entire Rongguo Palace will no longer be able to see anyone.
Zhao Chengzong hesitated: "But what if he is trying to frame us?"
Duke Rong Guo sneered coldly: "For this reason, whether we are looking for it or not, we are all convinced. Send someone to look for it!"
After Butler Ding came back, Xining had tidied up a little, and he and Mrs. Zhao were leaning on the Arhat bed.
She had just fallen into the water and was afraid of catching a cold. She was covered with a thick quilt. On the small table in the middle of the bed were four-color pastries, all bought from the best pastry shop in the capital. While drinking the medicine, I couldn't drink tea. Instead, I made a cup of brown sugar water with two red dates thrown in.
Butler Ding replied: "I have brought the words and gifts..." At this time, the curtain at the door was lifted, and Zhao Yinglei, the eldest son of Zhenguo General Mansion, walked in.
The eldest brother and the body master are sixteen years apart and have just reached their thirties. He is tall and broad, with a strong back and strong waist, phoenix eyes and a high nose, and a thick black beard that reaches past his neck. The owner of the body often jokes that if his face gets redder and he gets a Qinglong Yanyue Sword, he can go and stand in Guan Yu Temple.
The difference is that his temper is like that of Zhang Fei, he explodes at the slightest moment.
Butler Ding stopped talking and turned to bow and salute: "Your Majesty!"
Mrs. Zhao asked him to sit next to Luohan's bed, where it was warmer, but Zhao Yinglei still sat on the chair next to him. After sitting down, he looked at Butler Ding: "No problem, keep talking."
Butler Ding thought for a while and continued: "I have brought these words and gifts. I have sent people to watch at each door, even the dog holes. Now I am waiting for news."
"Hmph~" Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly, her dissatisfaction not hidden on her face. Not to mention getting married, they have basically become enemies at this time.
Zhao Yinglei frowned: "What's going on?"
"Your little sister was almost tricked." Thinking of the loss suffered by her precious daughter, Mrs. Zhao became very angry: "If it is true, I will beat him every time I meet someone from the Rongguo Palace in the future! ”
Xining couldn't help but laugh: "You can't beat him every time. The emperor still needs to follow the rules of the king. Now that you know who he is, just avoid him."
"Then the punishment you have suffered is just like this?" Mrs. Zhao looked at her in surprise. She knew this daughter's temper. She would cry and make a fuss over even the smallest things. She has never been willing to suffer a little loss, and once she even fell out with the princess. One of them usually bullied others due to his status, and the other was a spoiled apple. He would argue with each other if he said the wrong thing, and the quarrel was endless.
The princess wanted to hit someone, but was persuaded by the people around her. She fought with fists. There were a few in the palace who could beat the general's palace. It can be regarded as the first time that the princess has been angry.
Xi Ning picked up a piece of crabapple cake and took a bite: "Let's decide whether it counts or not. We'll talk about it later. If you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts. The road is still long, so don't rush for a while. Well, this cake is good, mother, eldest brother , you also have a taste.”
"Silly boy, this crab apple cake has to be freshly baked to taste. Put it down first and let someone heat it up." Mrs. Zhao asked her friend to take it to the side, put it on an iron plate, and bake it on a charcoal pot. .
Zhao Yinglei still couldn't figure it out: "What do you mean? Could it be that it was not an accident that the little girl fell into the water, but was it a mistake made by the Duke of Rongguo?"
Xining stroked his palm: "Brother is really good at literature and martial arts. You can tell by just guessing."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yinglei stood up suddenly: "I will go to Duke Rong's mansion to ask for justice!"
"Ouch~" Mrs. Zhao, who was so angry that she wanted to call her eldest son, stopped her at this time: "It's all a bastard thing in the inner house, so don't join in the fun. Besides, your father is coming back soon, and it's your father who wants to take the lead. Go. Even if you want justice, don’t go to the Rongguo Palace. What’s the point of asking for a few soft words? Just go to the palace and see the official!”
Speaking of General Zhao, Mrs. Zhao was full of confidence and high spirits. He has held the title of General of Zhenguo for more than a hundred years. General Zhao is the concubine of the family. Originally, he could not inherit the title. If he did not have the martial arts to get the rank of captain, he would have to start out as an ordinary soldier in the army. However, one of the two legitimate sons was killed in battle, and the other was seriously injured. General Zhao continued to perform meritorious service, and finally succeeded in overthrowing the eldest son, whose legs were crippled and inhumane, and inherited the title.
These are all obtained by the Zhao family with their lives and blood, and the Holy Lord will sell them for three cents when he sees them.
