married daughter

Chapter 239

As soon as the old lady stepped into the gate of the courtyard, she saw the third wife sitting in the middle of the courtyard in a serious manner, with a group of masters and servants standing beside her, and even Dai Ming followed Ruan Yunting standing aside "listening to the training", as if she was in the meditation garden. A small yamen.Dai Ming himself is an official of the imperial court and the son of Dai Siyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The third wife is so negligent and entrusted her, she really lost all the family education of the Xu family.And how can such a thing be said in front of an outsider like Deming?Firstly, she doesn't know the rules, secondly, she doesn't know the etiquette, and thirdly, she doesn't know the reason why family ugliness should not be publicized. The third wife has lived such a big age in vain!

The old lady wished she could slap the third wife a few times to vent her anger, but at the moment, she couldn't reprimand her in front of Dai Ming, so she could only smile and walked into the yard with the support of Han Bin's family.

When the old lady came, the third wife, the girl and the servants naturally saluted together.

After being greeted by several people, the old lady said to Dai Ming with a smile: "Master Dai, I'm really sorry, there is something in the house today, the hospitality is not good, and I will make amends for the hospitality some other day." The words obviously meant to see off the guests .

Dai Ming is a person who knows how to be polite. The old lady said so, of course he is not easy to argue. Just as he was about to speak, Ruan Yunting spoke first:

"Zhiqian can't leave yet."

The old lady glared at Ruan Yunting angrily, and reprimanded in a cold voice: "Ting'er!" But she still didn't say the extra words, she just cursed in her heart, Ruan Yunting is usually a sensible child, why is she embarrassing her at this time stand up.

The cold light in Ruan Yunting's eyebrows was covered by her eyelashes, and she gave a blessing to the old lady. Although her voice was still gentle and soft, her tone was unprecedentedly sharp and decisive:

"Ancestor Rong Rong, Mrs. Dai heard what Chun Yu said just now. Although the key to the red sandalwood box is kept by Hong Dou, who doesn't know that the box is mine? Some people have pushed the matter of pickling on Tinger, if Mrs. Dai leaves today, I will never be able to explain it. This matter must be clarified in front of him!"

The old lady calmed down a little when she heard the words. What Ruan Yunting said was actually not unreasonable. It's just that this kind of housework, whether someone wronged Ruan Yunting or Ruan Yunting hid the erotic | No matter which one it is, it can only show that the Xu family's back house is restless and hides filth, and it will not benefit the Xu family if it is passed on.

The third wife was "informed" by Xu Ningfang today, and she believed that the news was true, so she came here with great fanfare.Now where is there any reason to let go of any chance of revenge on Ruan Yunting?With a smile on his face, he said: "Ting'er, Auntie still advises you to let Young Master Dai leave first, it's also for your own good, isn't it? In case you don't even have the face to see people once the box is opened."

Ruan Yunting was already very disappointed with the third wife. She had planned to bully her several times, but she hadn't found a chance to repay her. Now she framed her like this, how could she bear it?
"The third wife said so firmly, did you also see the erotic palace pictures in the box with your own eyes?"

The third wife was choked back by Ruan Yunting's words, she blinked her eyes for a while and didn't know what to say.

"Madam Xu, I also want to stay here to see who is going to frame Ting'er with malicious intentions." Dai Ming turned around, his deep eyes were piercing, and he scanned everyone in the courtyard one by one.

The few people present had seen De Ming before, and they always saw his gentle and polite side. When he was so sharp, his smile was as light as a cloud, and his tall and straight figure like a pine poked at Ruan Yunting's side, as if A benchmark, people can't help but believe that even if the sky falls, this person with a straight back can support her delicately.

The old lady nodded secretly in her heart, Xu Ningfang had never seen such a Dai Ming, and the jealousy in her heart was like wildfire.Okay, very good, today is a golden opportunity, if Ruan Yunting reveals her lustful nature in front of Dai Ming and makes him disappointed in her, then her chances of winning will be even greater in the future.

His trust made Ruan Yunting feel confident and understood the meaning of his words.Chun Yu can be so sure that she believes that her master Xu Ningfang has made all preparations.Ruan Yunting has set up defenses against Xu Ningfang since she learned that Xu Ningfang wrote an anonymous letter to Dai Ming to frame her, but she is still taken advantage of today. At this time, she has no time to pay attention to how she put the spring | in her box.But she knew that with Xu Ning's cautious character, if she was not fully sure, she would not make such a big fuss.

Taking a look at the box that was just moved to the yard, Ruan Yunting already knew that there must be a picture of the palace inside.

The current strategy is to make the fraudulent false accuser flustered, show off her feet to prove her innocence, and find a way not to open the box.If she really opened the box, it might be bad for her.

Walking to Chun Yu who was kneeling on the ground, Ruan Yunting said: "Chun Yu, are you sure you really saw with your own eyes that I put the picture of Chun|gong in that box?"

Chun Yu raised her head, her eyes unexpectedly met Ruan Yunting's clear and cold eyes, she trembled uncontrollably, she turned her eyes away and lowered her head, "Yes, sure."

Dai Ming obviously thought the same as Ruan Yunting, and said in a deep threatening voice: "I can trust Ting'er's character, if you have a half-sentence, even if Mrs. Xu let you go, I won't let you go lightly. It must be sent to the officials for strict punishment. It is still too late to tell the truth. You have to weigh it up, whether it is worth sacrificing yourself for the people behind you."

Chun Yu has become a servant of Xu's family, although she often fights and scolds with Xu Ningfang, but she has never seen such a battle.The pressure that Ruan Yunting and Dai Ming brought to her should not be underestimated, she pursed her lips guiltyly, and for a moment, she was about to tell the truth, but if Xu Ningfang could not be dealt with severely this time, she would continue to serve her in the future Isn't life going to be sad for her?If Ruan Yunting can be brought down, Xu Ningfang must remember her benefits, and her life will be easier.

Everyone could see Chun Yu's hesitation, and Xu Ningfang unconsciously tightened the handkerchief in her hand, for fear that she would go back on her word.

But Chun Yu finally made up her mind, and said in a deep voice: "This servant did indeed see that Miss Ruan hid the picture of the spring palace in the box."

When Xu Ningfang heard this, she felt relieved.

The third wife looked at Ruan Yunting with a half-smile and said: "In this case, Ting'er will tell your girl to hand over the key. You will have to open the box in public to see if there is any."

Ruan Yunting had never done this, but the person who framed her had a well-thought-out plan, and she had already guessed the outcome of opening the box.But at this time, she can't refuse, and she can't show the slightest worry.

Ruan Yunting said in a serious tone: "Okay, since the third wife said so, I am happy to prove my innocence." Looking at Hongdou, she said: "Hongdou, open the box."

Hongdou was very clever, and also considered what Ruan Yunting was thinking, so she got up and opened the lock on the box.

As soon as she took off the lock, Chang's mother pushed Hongdou aside, as if she was afraid that she would cheat.

The rosewood box was opened, and on top of the odds and ends, there was indeed a piece of folded rice paper. Looking from the back, it should be a painting.

Ruan Yunting's heart sank suddenly.Deming's eyes also flickered.

Mother Chang handed the painting to the third wife, but the third wife didn't just look at it by herself, but unfolded the drawing paper to face the old lady and Deming. The girls of the third room were also present, and they all saw the painting.

In the painting, a man and a woman are acting like Duke Zhou, with straightforward actions and lifelike characters.The shy ones just looked away and turned away.But when the old lady looked at the painting, she gasped.

The eyebrows and eyebrows of the woman in the painting are very clearly drawn, why does she look like Xu Ningfang?
The third wife triumphantly showed it to several people, and then took a look at herself. When she saw that the female character in the painting was [-]% similar to Xu Ningfang, she looked at Xu Ningfang in surprise.

Not only the third wife, but also those who saw the female character's face in the painting just now looked at Xu Ningfang suspiciously.

Xu Ningfang was very proud at first, and she just waited to see Dai Ming walk away, Ruan Yunting struggled to explain the drama, unexpectedly, many people's eyes turned to her in an instant, including Dai Ming and Ruan Yunting.

What are you looking at her for?The sweet and dignified smile on Xu Ningfang's face was almost unstoppable.

The third wife folded the painting in half, covering the part of the male character, showing only the face of the female character for Xu Ningfang to see: "Fang'er, this person is very similar to you."

Xu Ningfang didn't look at the painting at all just now, but now she took a closer look, her face turned pale instantly, and she blurted out:

"How is it possible, I clearly let..." The second half of the sentence stopped abruptly, she covered her mouth and covered her mouth, her eyes flickered with guilt.

Ruan Yunting smiled faintly, and walked towards Xu Ningfang: "Miss Twelve, what did you just say you let?"

Xu Ningfang's face was livid, and she looked at the people around her with flickering eyes.

The old lady knew it in her heart, and she looked at Xu Ningfang who had been walking around her frequently in recent months in disbelief.How could such a sweet and sensible child do such a thing?
However, now is not the time to pursue the matter. The family ugliness has already been publicized, and Deming cannot continue to make jokes.

"I know what happened today." The old lady said in a deep voice, "Chun Yu must have framed Ting'er. Let's go, Fang'er. Take Chun Yu and follow me to Pine Age Hall."

The old lady wanted to leave after she had spoken.

Ruan Yunting saw that the old lady wanted to cover up, so she raised her skirt and knelt down: "Old Ancestor, please make the decision for Tinger. Today's matter is related to Tinger's boudoir reputation, and it is of great importance."

The old lady said angrily: "Now I know that something is wrong, it's not your fault, and your boudoir's reputation will not be damaged."

"Even so, don't the ancestors want to know why there is a erotic picture of Twelve Girls in my box? Twelve Girls obviously slipped their mouths just now. No matter whether this matter has anything to do with Twelve Girls If there is a direct relationship, it can only mean that someone wants to harm me. The Xu family is my home, if this person is not arrested, will I have to worry about it at home and can't sleep peacefully?"

Ruan Yunting has always been sensible, and has never been so aggressive.The old lady's face was livid, and she opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.Rebuke Ruan Yunting?She bit the truth in every sentence, making it impossible to refute. Xu Ningfang's inattentive sentence just now really explained too many problems.But if she did this, where would she put the Xu family's face?
Or did she feel that she was no longer a member of the Xu family after she got engaged?
Xu Ningfang already had tears in her eyes, her hands tightly twisted the handkerchief, and she bit her red lips with her white teeth. She clearly took Ruan Yunting's small portrait for that person to copy. She was obviously Ruan Yunting, why did she become her own now?Could it be that Ruan Yunting calculated on purpose and dropped the painting?

But the rest of the painting was exactly the same as what she saw that day.Even the lines on the face and hair are the same.Only the face changed.

Xu Ningfang said anxiously: "I just wanted to say that I clearly saw that the one on the painting was Sister Ruan, not..."

Ruan Yunting suddenly raised her head and stared at her: "Isn't the person who witnessed it Chun Yu? Why did you see it again?"

Xu Ningfang was tongue-tied, like she was digging her own grave. She was so nervous that she forgot the details of the framed Ruan Yunting just now.Dai Ming's eyes were like knives, cutting her flesh every time. Xu Ningfang racked her brains but didn't know how to argue for herself.

When the atmosphere was at a stalemate, Dai Ming suddenly smiled slightly and said, "The inscription on the lower right corner of this spring palace map is 'Seven Young Masters of Wangchun'?"

The third wife was startled when she heard the words, and looked at the inscription, it really was these five words.

Dai Ming said: "I am acquainted with the painter. Speaking of which, this man is also a romantic talent, talented in literature and painting, but his luck in the exam is not good, and he has repeatedly failed. This man has a hobby, which is painting erotic palaces. Picture. Since this painting is from him, why don't I invite someone here, and I can find out who bought the painting just by asking, and those who frame Ting'er will naturally show their feet."

No one thought that a talented young master like Dai Ming would be familiar with a painter of erotic palace pictures.His words supported Ruan Yunting, but made the old lady try her best to hide the reality and had to pull the fig leaf in front of everyone.

"Mrs. Xu?" Seeing that the old lady was silent, Dai Ming suddenly smiled and said gently, "The old lady just promised me that she would take good care of Tinger. Did she forget it so quickly and would rather indulge those who framed her? Zhaiyuan, how can my Dai family let Tinger live in peace of mind?" The conversation changed, and he said: "But I know that the old lady has always been fair and manages the family well, and the occasional one or two who are not sensible are their own. The problem is not the old lady's fault."

If the twists and turns made the old lady angry and helpless, today's matter would ultimately be blamed on the third wife. If she hadn't picked the lead, why would Ting'er and He be so aggressive?From Tinger's point of view, there is nothing wrong with her being so wild.It was not wrong for Dai Ming to protect Ruan Yunting.

The old lady was exhausted, and it seemed that today's events could not be avoided.

"Since that's the case, Lord Dai invites that 'Wangchun Seventh Young Master'. Some branches of the Xu family really need pruning. Ting'er is my granddaughter, and I can't seriously wrong her."

Dai Ming smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said: "Madam Xu is indeed fair and reasonable, I will order someone to invite him here." After that, he ordered Funing to hurry and invite people.

Ps: I'm sorry everyone, Saner suffered from gastritis repeatedly, and now I feel uncomfortable in various ways. I will update this chapter today. Everyone, rest early and pay attention to your body.
