Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 23
There was a sneer on the corner of Jingning's lips, but she moved closer to Zheng Xiuning.

She said with some hesitation: "However, grandma said that you are not allowed to cause trouble for her today. Although Princess Danyang has a hot personality, she is not such a cruel person. How could it be her who did it?"

She had a troubled face, and looked at Zheng Xiuning with suspicion.

Zheng Xiuning's complacent heart suddenly froze, he raised his head, and stared at Jing Ning in disbelief: "Sister, don't you believe me?"

If in the past, the other party saw him like this, he would have been angrily looking for trouble and avenging himself.

No matter whether that person admitted or denied, whether he really did it or was innocent, Jing Ning was basically indiscriminate and only believed what Zheng Xiuning said, which was also the main reason why she dared to do this.

But what she didn't expect was that Jing Ning actually doubted herself?

Zheng Xiuning was startled and frightened, so she could only resort to her own trump card. She wiped away her tears, and her sobs became sobbing, "Sister, I know that Princess Danyang has a noble status, and our prime minister's mansion cannot afford to offend her. Don't worry, sister, sister won't let this matter out."

"presumptuous!"

Suddenly there was a shout, and in the next moment, a blue shadow rushed towards Zheng Xiuning like the wind, and gave Zheng Xiuning a slap in the face.

With a "pop", everyone was stunned.

Jing Ning looked coldly at Zheng Xiuning who was being beaten, and felt happy, but he rushed up quickly. When the opponent was about to hit him a second time, he grabbed the opponent's hands and said loudly:

"Princess Danyang, what do you want to do?"

Yes, this woman who suddenly appeared, dressed in blue and holding a whip, is she the Danyang Princess whom she met before?
"Step aside!"

Princess Danyang didn't even look at Jing Ning, and just pointed at Zheng Xiuning viciously with a whip.

"Say it again, did the Princess hit you?"

Zheng Xiuning touched her face, there was a bright red slap mark on it, she was shocked when she saw the woman who suddenly appeared in front of her.

She didn't expect Princess Danyang to appear here, and it was a coincidence that she heard what she said just now.

At this moment, even if he was panicking, he could only bite the bullet and continue, anyway, Princess Danyang was arrogant and domineering, and Jing Ning believed in her deeply, as long as he successfully provoked the conflict between the two of them, it was enough.

So she backed up tremblingly: "No, Princess Danyang didn't bully me, sister, Princess Danyang really didn't bully me, these wounds were just caused by me accidentally, and have nothing to do with Princess Danyang."

"Did you hurt yourself? How could you have whip marks all over your body?"

Jing Ning's expression changed, and he looked at Princess Danyang aggressively.

"I didn't believe that Princess Danyang did it, but now I have to believe it. Princess Danyang threatened my sister in front of me. Do you really think that my prime minister's mansion is easy to bully?"

"Go away!"

Princess Danyang didn't want to talk to Jing Ning at all. She thought that Jing Ning had become enlightened and was no longer as impulsive as before, but now it seems that she is still the same stupid, and she does things without thinking.

"You said I did it? You say it again?"

Jing Ning also took a step forward, protecting Zheng Xiuning behind him, and looked coldly at Princess Danyang.

"Sister, don't be afraid, tell me, no matter who that person is, my sister will avenge you!"

Hearing this very familiar sentence in the past, Zheng Xiuning finally let go of his heart, and even felt a little disdain and pleasure.

This is Zheng Jingning, her so-called golden and jade-born sister, an extremely stupid woman who treats herself like a baby!

She is no longer acting on occasion, shivering, and her voice is soft: "Sister, don't blame Princess Danyang, I must have made Princess Danyang angry, that's why Princess Danyang will."

She hid behind Jing Ning, and she didn't even dare to look at Princess Danyang, as if she was extremely scared.

However, those concealed eyes were full of pride after the success of the calculation.

She waited to see Jing Ning go crazy because of her, biting Princess Danyang like two mad dogs, and then the two families broke up, Jing Ning's life in the prime minister's mansion became more and more difficult until he was replaced by herself.

However, the imagined scene did not appear.

On the contrary, Princess Danyang, who was still furious just now and wished to eat Zheng Xiuning, unexpectedly calmed down.

She sneered and looked back somewhere.

"Mrs. Zheng, have you finished reading? If you finish reading, come out!"

Zheng Xiuning's smile stayed on the corner of his lips just like that, his heart skipped a beat, he looked up and saw a pavilion, a place with lush vegetation, a few people came out, among them were the old lady and the old concubine Liu Wangfei.

Her heart suddenly flustered: "Grandmother."

Why is grandma here?

No, don't panic, Zheng Xiuning forced himself to calm down.

Even if I offended Princess Danyang, as long as I pretended that I was really whipped by Princess Danyang, then everything today is the fault of Princess Danyang.

As long as she is innocent and pitiful, grandma won't blame herself!

With his back to her, Jing Ning had a strange smile in his eyes.

She stood up slowly, with the same surprise on her face, as if she didn't expect her grandmother to appear here, but soon became angry, "Grandma, you came just in time, look at the wound on my sister."

She pulled Zheng Xiuning's arm over, and deliberately used a lot of strength, and Zheng Xiuning's teeth were chattering in pain.

She pointed to the welt marks on it, and was very angry.

"Grandmother, look, these wounds were all caused by Princess Danyang. My sister is a weak girl. Why did she offend Princess Danyang? How could Princess Danyang want to use such a cruel hand? She even whipped her sister in front of me !"

Zheng Xiuning breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Jing Ning stood by his side, coupled with his acting skills, he would definitely be able to pass the test.

Although it's a pity that Princess Danyang and Jing Ning were not provoked to bite, but now the most important thing is to preserve the old lady's image in her heart!
It's a pity that before she had time to speak, the old lady yelled angrily: "Enough, don't you two look ashamed enough?"

Then she looked at Princess Danyang with ashamed eyes: "It's the old man who can't teach well, which made these two disappointments annoy the princess."

Princess Danyang said coldly: "Is Madam Zheng going to intercede for her granddaughter?"

"In the past, the princess saw that Mrs. Zheng and the old concubine grew up together. No matter how much Zheng Xiuning poured dirty water on the princess, the princess didn't make things difficult for her. After all, the princess has a bad temper. Well, she, Miss Zheng Er, is gentle and kind, everyone loves her, no one in this capital trusts the princess, what can the princess do?"

"But this time, everyone is watching."

She pointed at Zheng Xiuning, with hatred in her eyes, she gritted her teeth every word.

"Second Miss Zheng came with Mrs. Zheng, but as soon as Mrs. Zheng arrived, I have been with Mrs. Zheng all the time. You have also seen this. The Princess is really curious. Since staying in the palace, the princess has never left a step, so how did you whip her?"
