Chapter 33 Killing with a Knife 4
Xia Chuanyuan stared at Fang, but Xie said, "In order not to make people suspicious, make this matter clear so that innocent people can avoid injustice."
Hearing this, Fang stood aside as if she had gained power and asked, "You said that Miss San met you on the day she went to Jingming Temple. Who saw it?"
Cheng Gu replied, "No one saw it. On that day, Miss San went to the backyard to meet the villain after worshipping in front of the Buddha. How can such things be seen by others?"
Fang's face was overjoyed, but he didn't show it. He just asked, "Ning'er, is this true?" Xia Meng was blessed and shook her head and said, "Ning'er did go to the backyard of Jingming Temple that day, but she just went to ask Master Yun Hui for the handwritten Buddhist scriptures. She had never seen this person."
Cheng Gu hurriedly said, "Why is the third lady so affectionate? That day you said that you asked me to take you far away. How did you change your face today? I know my family background is not good, but didn't you say that you appreciate my literary talent? I really like you wholeheartedly."
Everyone present looked at Xia Mengning and looked at the man's sincere appearance. I'm afraid that the third lady really had an affair with him.
Xia Mengning didn't say anything, but just looked up at the eldest grandson Mo in the upper seat. This man first attracted the prince, and then told the prince how many things he wanted to use himself to pull the dragon prince. In his previous life, he owed him not only the promise and the child's life, but also his pure and sincere feeling. Love, I gave him all my trust, but as for him, Xia Mengning remembered the suffering she had suffered in her previous life and couldn't help but feel a little bitterness in her heart. A light of fresh water appeared in her eyes, looking at the eldest grandson Mo sitting up.
Changsun Mo was stared at by this sad look, and he couldn't help clenching his fists in his sleeves. On that day, he and Changsun Yun had seen her. As long as he could come forward and make it clear, he could relieve her. But if he stood up like this, the prince's suspicious personality would definitely recommend Xia Mengning to him in the past. Things are related to today's events, and everything he has painstakingly managed will be disintegrated. Maybe the prince will change his face and hit himself in turn. In this case, it is really not worth it.
Xia Mengning over there clearly saw the changes in Changsun Mo's eyes, and she couldn't help feeling bitterness. It was the same in the previous life and the same in this life. Changsun Mo, today's thing is my last hesitation for you. From now on, you and I have nothing else. For me, you are just my old enemy, and I must do it myself. Blade.
Xia Mengning lowered her head and covered the look on her face. "Father, please, my daughter has never seen this person."
Fang Shi said with a slight laughter, "Since the third lady has never seen you, who sent you the love thing? Take it out and show it to everyone."
As soon as Cheng Gu heard this, he immediately took out a red gold hairpin from his arms and held it in his hand and said, "This is the love that Miss San gave me. It is the golden hairpin she often wears."
Xia Mengning turned slightly and covered Fang's eyes. Xia Chuanyuan went down and looked carefully, and immediately became angry, "Evil beast!"
Fang didn't think so. She already knew that this was the golden pin that Jiu'er took out of Xia Mengning's room, and said with a proud look on her face, "Ning'er, this is your fault. How can you give your daughter's things to others casually?"
Xia Mengning stood up gently at this time and smiled at Xia Chuanyuan and Xie Shi, "Dad also saw it clearly. Presumably, this man recognized the wrong person. Obviously, he was holding the golden hairpin of the eldest sister, but said that it was given by Ninger. It seems that the eldest sister did not tell him what she really Identity."
As soon as this word came out, everyone in the audience was surprised. Why did this good thing involve the young lady again?
Xia Mengxi was so scared that she turned pale when she saw the man take out the golden hairpin. She didn't know what was going on today. Obviously, she came to frame the bitch Xia Mengning. This man was also found by his mother. Why did she take her own golden hairpin?
Fang Shi will lean over to see, but Xia Mengning reached out and took the hairpin in Cheng Gu's hand. After looking at it carefully, she stepped forward and handed it to Xia Chuanyuan, "Dad, that's right. This red gold hairpin was made by Cuiyufang on your eldest sister's birthday last year. Look, there is also a stream character below, so honorable, even Ning'er remembers it clearly.
Fang was caught off guard by this sudden change and looked at Liu's mother behind her. Liu's mother was also panicked and at a loss.
Cheng Gu looked confused. Didn't he say that this golden pin belonged to the third lady? Why did he become a young lady again?
Xie's face was angry, "Bold maniac, who told you to steal Miss's golden pin?"
Xia Mengning stood there, and there was no joy on her face. Xie wanted to cover it up. She was afraid that she would take all the people on the scene as fools. Up to now, she is still trying to cover up something.
Xia Chuanyuan's face was awe-in, and he shouted angrily to Xia Mengxi, who was panicked, "Why don't you kneel down!"
Xia Mengxi knelt down tremblingly, shook his head and cried, "I don't have it, Dad, I really don't."
With that, he turned his face to the direction of Xia Mengning and stretched out his finger and said, "It must be her. It was she who set me up. Dad, you have to trust your daughter."
Xia Mengning's face was in a hurry, and a pair of deer-like eyes looked at Xia Chuanyuan: "My daughter didn't know what happened today, and my father knew it well."
With that, he turned his head and said to Cheng Gu, who was kneeling on the ground, "It must be you, a madman who stole your sister's golden hairpin and framed your sister. Who ordered you to do this? Why don't you say it quickly?"
One sentence made everyone look at the originator again. Cheng Gu's face was pale, he knelt on the ground and trembled, and kept looking in the direction of Fang with his eyes.
Liu Shihan saw it and covered his handkerchief and smiled, "Why does this man always look north? Is there a familiar person?"
The north is the corner of the Fang family. Hearing the words, Fang's heart was excited. She pinched the handkerchief in her hand and stepped forward a few steps to Xia Chuan and said, "Sir, Xi'er has generally understood etiquette since she was a child. She will never do such a thing. It must be the thief who framed her indiscriminately. Xi'er is still a boudoir. The master wants to be the decision for Xi'er. . "
Xia Chuanyuan's face was not afraid. Mrs. Liu beside Liu Shihan said, "The mistress of the prime minister's house is different. Just now, she looked like she wanted to kill the concubine's daughter. This time, it was her daughter's turn. It was just a word of help. The mistress is so generous that she really has a family style."
When Xia Mengning heard the words, she went to Liu Shihan's place. The latter was handing a reassuring smile to herself. Xia Mengning wondered why she had seen this Liu Shihan before. Why did she and her mother help her today? I'm afraid it's not as simple as fate.
Xia Chuanyuan snorted and asked Cheng Gu, who was kneeling on the ground, "Didn't it say that it was a token given to you by the third lady? Why didn't you become a young lady? Who are you and what are you planning?"
Cheng Gu had no idea and knelt on the ground and didn't know how to answer. Just now, he was told that he didn't even dare to look in the direction of Fang's. He could only sweat coldly and couldn't speak.
At this moment, a nursing home came in from the front yard and knelt on the ground a few steps and said, "Your Excellency Su in the palace came to send a congratulatory gift to the old lady by the emperor's order."
The emperor sent someone to send gifts. Naturally, it was great news. Xia Chuanyuan and Xie were all happy. Xia Mengning's heart moved slightly. She glanced at the two people who were kneeling on the ground. She thought about it and said to Xia Chuanyuan beside him, "Dad, Duke Su came to send congratulatory gifts for the emperor. It's really inconvenient for people to be ugly. I know, it's better to ask the maid to take the eldest sister back to her room, put the thief in the backyard, and wait until she thanked her for her, and then come to trial slowly.
Xia Chuanyuan thought about it and thought it was the best way to do so, so he waved to someone to take Xia Mengxi and Cheng Gu together.
Fang Shi saw it. Although she was still wiping tears, she stood up straight and said a few words to Liu's mother beside her with a veil covering the corners of her mouth. Xia Mengning saw it, and her eyes were faint. I'm afraid she was going to seal Cheng Gu's mouth. Thinking of this, Xia Mengning's eyes bent. Looking at Liu's mother's hurried back and whispered a few words to Wu Qing beside him, Wu Qing was ordered to leave.
Because the prince and Prince Mo were present, Eunuch Su didn't take much Joe. He saluted him first and said to Xie with a smile, "Congratulations to the old lady. The emperor heard that this is your birthday, and the special slave sent you a birthday gift."
With that, a group of small eunuchs behind him presented the tray and thanked him. Eunuch Su fiddled with the clean whips in his hands and said with a smile, "Dare to ask the Prime Minister, is the third lady in the house available?"
Xia Chuanyuan's face was stagnant, and everyone didn't know why they mentioned the third lady, but immediately, Xia Chuanyuan reacted and nodded and said, "I don't know what my father-in-law is looking for the little girl?"
Eunuch Su smiled, but didn't say anything. On this side, Xia Mengning walked out and said first, "The little girl has seen Eunuch Su."
Eunuch Su has been with the emperor for most of his life, and he has never seen the emperor so eager to see a person, so when the emperor asked him to lend a congratulatory gift to the old lady of the Xia family to take the opportunity to see the third lady, his heart beat in his heart. Now that he can see the real person, he has to admire the emperor's will.
Although the girl was a concubine, she did not have a little inferiority in her eyebrows. On the contrary, her face was as white as jade, and she was everywhere when she saluted, which made Grandpa Su curious.
"This is what the emperor asked the old slave to send to the third lady." With that, Eunuch Su took out a red box with plum blossom branches from his sleeve, "Please be sure to accept it."
Xia Mengning was stunned. She didn't know how the emperor named her name and wanted to give herself something. So many eyes could be staring at it. After today, I'm afraid she will be famous in this capital.
Although he thought so, he also knelt down and took the box with both hands.
After the work, Duke Su said goodbye. Xia Chuanyuan ordered someone to see him off and said, "Eunuch Su, take your time."
Watching the people leave, Xia Mengning stood up. Xie looked at Xia Mengning with her head hanging down, and only felt that her energy and blood were surging in her heart. It was really puzzling that a concubine woman could get another look from the emperor.
Changsun Ye sat on the head, and his heart did not change much. He just said faintly, "I don't know what treasure my father has given to the third lady. Would you like to open it to make us feast our eyes?"
Although this is the question, it is an unquestionable look. Xia Mengning looked at the people around her, looking forward to it, contempt, envy, jealousy, and all kinds of eyes. Indeed, this is a gift from the emperor, or it is a special trip to him. This is a great honor. Thinking of this, Xia Mengning bent down and saluted: " What the prince said is very true.
With that, he opened the box, and everyone stretched their necks and looked forward. Liu Shihan had already stood beside Xia Mengning and looked at it curiously. There was a layer of yellow silk cloth in the box. On the silk cloth, there was a blue and white dotted sparrow branch hairpin. The top of the hairpin was inlaid with a round one. As soon as the pearl was opened, it attracted the attention of the whole audience.
"It's so beautiful." Liu Shihan couldn't help blurting out that indeed, royal things are naturally incomparable outside. The scenery of workmanship and the superior materials all reflect a feeling of wealth and luxury.
Xia Mengning's face was faint, and she looked up at the eldest Sun Ye, who was sitting at the head. "Your Highness, it's a hairpin."
Changsun Ye's heart moved slightly. Although this hairpin is not precious, it is also worth 10,000 taels. I'm afraid that an ordinary woman is very happy to see such a big Dongzhu. This woman is not proud at all, which is really curious.
