"Then let me continue, please don't interrupt!"
"That's not necessarily true. If I hear news beyond my imagination, I will still be surprised." Xue Ruitian looked at Jin Jing and squeezed his shoulder, "You have been squatting for a long time. Are you numb?"
"No!" Jin Jing knocked on her leg. After the numbness passed, she slowly stood up, walked up to the board, knocked on the board, and said, "Although it is hearsay, but What is certain is that Miss Lu is indeed infatuated with Ning Changguo, this is beyond doubt by my mother, do you understand?"
"I really don't want to know this." Xue Ruitian rolled his eyes, "If Ning Changguo doesn't cherish such a good person, he should be crushed to ashes."
"His final outcome is not much better than breaking up his bones and ashes, isn't it?" Jin Jing smiled, "You should have heard the rumors in Beijing that Ning Changguo and his wife, Qin Se, were very loving. They were a pair of lovers. The fairy scroll couple that everyone envies, right?"
"Well..." Shen Cha touched his chin, looked at Shen Haolin, nodded slightly, and said, "It seems that this is indeed the case. The Queen Mother also said that the relationship between the Taifu and his wife is very good. Although Bumps and quarrels are unavoidable in life, but we will soon reconcile and our relationship will be better and reach a higher level. What I was more concerned about at the time was why I didn’t hold any grudges after the quarrel. The relationship with the other party will get better, now that I think about it, I probably understand!"
Shen Haolin touched Shen Cha's head again, chuckled, raised his chin towards Jin Jing, and asked him to continue talking.
"Wait a minute!" Jin Miaomiao interrupted Jin Jing who was about to speak. She looked at him, then at Shen Cha, and said, "The two of them are so good. Is this the only lady in Ningchang who has no concubines?" ?」
"Actually, there are." Shen Cha thought for a while, "According to the roster provided by Jingzhao Mansion when the house was raided, Ningchang State had a wife and two concubines. Mrs. Ning had two sons and one daughter. It seems that the concubine only has three daughters and nothing else."
"Good fellow, there is quite a large population here. I thought that Ning Changguo loved Mrs. Ning so much that he wanted to be with Mrs. Ning for the rest of his life. I didn't expect that he would be embraced by his master!"
"These two concubines from Ningchang Kingdom are actually forced to marry." Shen Cha sighed, leaned against Shen Haolin, sighed towards Jin Miaomiao, and said, "The background of those two people is... She is very big, and her airs and ostentation are comparable to that of a royal wife. She is looked down upon by other people's aunts when they go out, but this is not the case for these two. If they visit someone's house, they will be received as VIPs. If it weren't for the love between Ning Changguo and his wife, these two concubines would probably have climbed over them and become their masters."
"So arrogant?" Jin Miaomiao frowned, "It's just two concubines, where do you get the confidence?"
"The Empress Dowager gave me the confidence." Xue Ruitian sneered and clapped his hands lightly, "Isn't this right? I have always been surprised that when Ning Changguo works for the Empress Dowager, there must be the Empress Dowager by his side. Eyeliner, but after subsequent investigation, it was found that the master beside him, who was responsible for keeping an eye on him from the Qinglian Sect, only knew part of the matter, and there was another part that they also didn't know about. They looked completely confused. It can't be fake, so we previously judged that the Empress Dowager and the Qinglian Sect had planted nails around him, but we didn't find out at the time, right?" He looked at Shen Haolin, "We discussed this before This question has always been unclear and there is no conclusion.”
"Because we didn't consider that the Empress Dowager would let her personal maid serve as spies."
"Yes, we only know that these two concubines are people close to the Empress Dowager, but we never thought that they might also be people who are keeping an eye on Ning Changguo, or to be more precise, they are his..."
"Owner."
"That's right!" It’s a matter of time.”
"Okay!" Jin Jing took a step back and asked Xue Ruitian to stand in front of the board. She watched as Xue Ruitian turned the board over and wrote several names on it, "Ning Changguo, Miss Lu, Ruohong, Lvshui?" He looked at it. Xue Ruitian, "Ruohong and Lvshui are the two
The concubine of Ningchang Kingdom? Seeing Xue Ruitian nod, he frowned slightly, "Why did you get such a name out of anger? It's so tacky!"
"The name was given by the Empress Dowager." Shen Cha sneered, "Brother Xiaojing, you have to know that although the Empress Dowager is also from Jiangnan, she came from a merchant family in Jiangnan, and she was also the leader of the Qinglian Sect at that time. , he named the girl around him more or less in the style of the Merchant Family and the Green Lotus Sect, which seemed a bit nondescript."
"It's indeed neither fish nor fowl." Jin Jing nodded, "Based on what you just said, I concluded that these two concubines are the spies sent by the Empress Dowager around Ning Changguo. On the one hand, they keep an eye on whether he is following orders. When I go to do something, one of the reasons is to see if he has any second thoughts, right?"
"That's what I mean!" "Say..." He stopped and recalled it carefully, then slowly said, "There will always be dissatisfaction in life. Sometimes things go too smoothly, and there will always be people who come to make trouble."
"There will always be people who come to cause trouble? Are they two concubines?"
"Then I don't know." Xue Ruitian shook his head gently, "I originally planned to ask, but after thinking about it at the time, I didn't ask. Because I thought it might be something at home that bothered her, and I was an outsider. , it would be too rude to ask."
"That's true. Most of the Queen Mother's palace banquets are attended by important ministers and noble ladies. It's really inconvenient for you as a child and an outsider. If you don't ask questions, it will easily lead to misunderstandings. Ask the Queen Mother trouble."
"Indeed, so I pretended not to understand and got away with it." I know the secret of Ning Mansion."
"You have to think about it, right? After all, those two concubines belong to the Empress Dowager, so Mrs. Ning will definitely have some scruples." Jin Jing looked at the names of the two concubines, "We didn't know that at the beginning That part of the crime should fall on the two of them. By the way, where were these two people when they ransacked their homes?"
"I didn't go anywhere. The government officials broke into the backyard and arrested people according to the roster. They found that several people were missing. They were afraid that these people had escaped through other channels, so they rushed to their respective houses to look for them, only to find that including Seven or eight women, including these two concubines, have..." Xue Ruitian sighed softly, "hanged themselves on the beams."
