Shi Jingyang turned around and comforted Mrs. Qian, "Old madam, please don't worry. Let this junior talk to Lu Dianshi."
Mrs. Qian nodded: "Thank you, Prince Shi!"
Shi Jingyang gently patted Mrs. Qian's shoulder, turned around and said to Lu Dianshi: "Master Dianshi, I am Shi Jingyang, and Ning Yu is a good friend.
Last night, at the end of Xiayou, I went to Mingyuan in Minghui Lane and rested in Mingyuan. I didn't separate from Ning Yu until I sent Ning Yu to the examination room this morning.
I can testify that Ning Yu never left Mingyuan’s home last night.
Please tell me, if I can testify, can Ning Yu be cleared of suspicion?"
Lu Dianshi secretly sighed at Ning Yu's good luck and nodded: "As long as everything Shizi said is true, Master Ning can be cleared of suspicion."
Shi Jingyang said: "Everything I say below is true. Of course, if Lu Dianshi doesn't believe it, he can visit and collect evidence."
Lu Dianshi smiled and said: "I believe what Prince Shi said. Of course, I also need to visit and collect evidence. This is the charter. Please forgive me.
Furthermore, if I need Prince Shi to testify in court someday, I will have to trouble Prince Shi to make a trip."
Shi Jingyang nodded and said: "Lu Dianshi enforces the law impartially, and I naturally understand that. If the case requires it in the future, I will be on call at my call."
Lu Dianshi bowed his hands and thanked him, and finally said: "Since Mr. Ning is not suspected, I should go back to the Yamen to report to Master Yin. I will take my leave."
Xu Weiwu and Shi Jingyang returned the salute with their hands raised. "Lord Dianshi, walk slowly.
Send Lu Dianshi and his party away.
Mrs. Qian lowered her head and turned to Shi Jingyang and Xu Weiwu, bowing and thanking them: "Thank you, Prince Shi, thank you very much, Wei Wu, thank you very much."
Xu Weiwu said quickly: "My aunt can't help her, she can't help her. We, our own family, don't need to be so polite."
Shi Jingyang echoed: "Old madam, you're welcome. I feel like brothers with Yingzhe. When he encounters difficulties, it's only right for me to lend a helping hand."
Mrs. Qian looked at the two people who were really in love with each other and had mixed feelings in her heart.
Whether Xu Weiwu or Shi Jingyang, they are just outsiders who are related to each other.
Outsiders can still treat Brother Yu with sincerity, but people who have lived under the same roof for many years want to push Brother Yu into the abyss...
Mrs. Qian sighed secretly and said gratefully to the two of them: "Brother Yu is blessed to have you protecting him."
After saying that, Mr. Qian frowned worriedly and said, "That poisonous woman won't succeed in this plan. I'm afraid she will have other thoughts. Mighty, my aunt has a merciless request."
Xu Weiwu said with a smile: "Auntie, you're welcome. As a family, if there is anything we need my nephew to do, my auntie will do it."
Xu Weiwu knew that Mrs. Qian had been very strong throughout her life and was most afraid of troublesome people. In her decades of life, she could count on her fingers the number of times she had asked for help.
Mrs. Qian looked at Xu Weiwu and said, "Weiwu, can you walk around Gongyuan more during the scientific examination days?"
I know that you are responsible for the safety of Nancheng and have heavy official duties. This request may be a bit excessive.
However, I am worried that the poisonous woman will attack Brother Yu again. The poisonous woman has money in her hands and has met many people over the years..."
As she spoke later, Mrs. Qian's voice dropped.
Xu Weiwu understood what Mrs. Qian meant and said with relief: "Okay, Gongyuan is in the area under the jurisdiction of my nephew. The scientific research is the most important thing at the moment. In both circumstances, my nephew should put the safety of Gongyuan first and continue.
During the rainy days, my nephew will stay here until the scientific examination is over."
Mrs. Qian felt like she wanted to cry, "Thank you Weiwei! With you here, I feel relieved."
Xu Weiwu felt sour in his heart when he looked at Old Madam Qian with tears in her eyes.
He comforted her and said, "Don't worry, aunt. Even if Mrs. Zhao is capable, she won't dare to stretch her hand into the tribute courtyard."
Mrs. Qian shook her head and said: "Wei Wu, you don't understand that poisonous woman, that person... is too bad, too bad!"
Xu Weiwu was a rough man with a stupid mouth. Seeing the sadness on Mrs. Qian's face, he shook his head in sadness and didn't know how to comfort her.
Mrs. Qian's words reminded Shi Jingyang at the side.
Don't think about Mr. Zhao with ordinary people's thinking, this person is too bad!
Mrs. Qian entrusted Ning Yu's safety to Xu Weiwu's hands, and then said: "I still have to deal with some household matters, so I will go back first. After Brother Yu has finished his exam, I will invite you to my house as a guest."
Xu Weiwu and Shi Jingyang agreed repeatedly, and then sent Mr. Qian to the car.
Shi Jingyang watched Mrs. Qian's car drive away, turned his eyes away and said goodbye to Xu Weiwu: "Conductor Shi is busy, so I'll also say goodbye."
Xu Weiwu bowed his hands to Shi Jingyang and said goodbye, "I would like to thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I will come to my house as a guest often when you have free time."
Shi Jingyang nodded in agreement, turned away from Xu Weiwu, and turned around to get on the carriage.
Mrs. Qian returned to Ning Mansion and said to Yue Niang: "Let someone go to the Yamen to invite the master back, and then send someone to invite the clan leader and the elders of the clan.
By the way, let Sister Wei come back too. If Sister He and Sister Lei are in the house, ask them to come to the main hall of the outer courtyard."
Yueniang turned around and gave the order, then hurriedly followed Mrs. Qian and asked tentatively: "Madam, why did you invite the elders of the clan to come over..."
Mrs. Qian let out a long breath and said, "It's time to put an end to this."
After hearing this, Yueniang knew that Mrs. Qian was determined to divorce the Zhao family, so she said no more.
Mrs. Qian did not go back to Jing'an Hall, but went to the ancestral hall.
Arriving at the entrance of the ancestral hall, Mrs. Qian said: "Just wait at the door and don't let anyone come in and disturb you."
Yue Niang and others bowed their knees in response.
Mrs. Qian entered the ancestral hall, first offered incense to worship the ancestors of the Ning family, and then knelt on the futon to apologize to the ancestors.
Half an hour later, Mrs. Qian came out of the ancestral hall and saw Ning Wei standing at the door. Without saying much, she just said: "Let's go!"
Ning Wei nodded, walked beside Mrs. Qian, and reached out to help Mrs. Qian go to the main hall of the outer courtyard. Mrs. Qian asked as she walked: "Is everyone here?"
Yueniang replied: "Several elders in the clan have arrived, but the master has not arrived yet. The second and third young ladies went to the Zhao Mansion in Shuanglian Lane with my wife, but they are not at the mansion."
Mrs. Qian nodded, "I understand."
When Mrs. Qian and her party were approaching the main hall, they saw Ning Guangyan coming back with Shao Yang and a few boys.
When Ning Guangyan saw Mrs. Qian, he trotted over and asked, "Why is my mother so anxious to recruit her son?"
Mrs. Qian didn't reply to Ning Guangyan's words. She walked up to the main hall and said calmly: "Let's go, let's talk inside."
Ning Guangyan raised his head and glanced at the main hall, feeling confused. He quickly chased after her and asked, "Auntie, why do you come to the main hall to talk? What happened at home?"
Mrs. Qian ignored Ning Guangyan and walked straight forward, "The clan leader and the elders of the clan are here. Let's go inside first."
When Ning Guangyan learned that the clan leader and the elders of the clan were here, his heart began to lift.
Mrs. Qian entered the main hall, and everyone in the room stood up one after another.
"Cousin-in-law!"
The current patriarch of the Ning family is Ning Guangyan's cousin Ning Xuming. Ning Xuming has had a deep relationship with Ning Xudong since childhood and has great respect for Mrs. Qian, her cousin.
In addition, Ning Guangyan has the highest and best official position in the Ning family. Mother is more valuable than son, so Mrs. Qian has a high prestige in the Ning family.
Mrs. Qian bowed to everyone and sat down politely.
After everyone sat down, Ning Xuming looked at Mrs. Qian and asked, "I wonder why my cousin asked everyone to come over?"
Mrs. Qian looked around and said, "I invite you all to come here today because I want you to give your testimony."
"Sister-in-law, what's the matter? Tell me." Ning Xuming said.
Ning Guangyan's mother's expression was dull, and her uneasiness became more serious. She had a vague feeling of bad premonition and said, "Mother, what's the matter? You always mobilize troops..."
Before Ning Guangyan finished speaking, Mrs. Qian glanced over with a cold gaze and said sternly: "Shut up. Qiao Yi, next, if Ning Guangyan interrupts me before I let him speak, you can help me."
."
Everyone present was stunned after hearing what Mrs. Qian said. They looked at Mrs. Qian and then at Ning Guangyan.
The air in the room felt like condensation.
As soon as Qiao received the order, he immediately stood next to Ning Guangyan.
Ning Guangyan turned to look at Qiao Yi, thinking that Shao Qing's legs had been broken by the man in front of him.
When I thought about it, I found several doctors who specialized in bruises and bruises to diagnose and treat Shao Qing. They all said that Shao Qing would never stand up again.
Ning Guangyan hated and feared Qiao Yi.
Mrs. Qian moved her eyes away from Ning Guangyan and continued what she just said: "I can't write two characters of Ning in one stroke.
The surname of everyone present is Ning, and they are all highly respected people in the clan. I invite everyone here today because I want to tell you about the recent events in the mansion."
When Ning Guangyan heard what his mother was going to say about the affairs of the house, he became anxious and couldn't help shouting: "Mother!"
Mrs. Qian turned around and looked over and said, "Qiao Yi, keep your mouth shut!"
As soon as Qiao got the order, he turned around and gave Ning Guangyan a slap in the face.
Although Qiao Yi only used 50% of his strength, five-finger palm prints still appeared on Ning Guangyan's fair face.
Everyone took a breath of air. They didn't expect that Mrs. Qian would actually slap Ning Guangyan.
Ning Guangyan became so angry that he stood up from his chair and stared at Qiao Yi.
Qiao faced Ning Guangyan's angry eyes expressionlessly, without any fear or concession.
Mrs. Qian said coldly: "You have no loyalty or filial piety. If you want your face to be as swollen as a pig's head, you can continue to talk back."
Ning Guangyan's heart was full of hatred, but she could only endure it and sat down in defeat.
Mrs. Qian no longer looked at Ning Guangyan, and then told how Zhao harmed Ning Wei and Ningyu, how she took Ning Wei and Ningyu to Minghui Lane for the sake of the peace of the family, and how she escaped from Minghui Lane to the treasure vase.
Xiang, and how Zhao prevented Ning Yu from participating in the scientific examination, told everyone one by one.
The people present felt filled with grief and anger.
At the end, Mrs. Qian said: "I think about my family and everything being prosperous, so I endure it again and again. Unexpectedly, my tolerance turned out to be weak and easy to bully in the eyes of Mrs. Zhao."
"It's time for such a wicked woman to get divorced, why do she keep her here until now?" The speaker was Ning Xucai, the younger brother of the patriarch Ning Xuming.
"Yes, it's time to divorce a long time ago." Someone agreed.
Ning Xuming took over the words, "My cousin is kind-hearted, and for the sake of her grandchildren, she gave Zhao a chance again and again."
Ning Xucai said disapprovingly: "My cousin's heart is too kind, which only encouraged Zhao's arrogance.
There is a saying that goes well, a country is easy to change, but a character is hard to change. You cannot keep a wicked woman like Zhao."
Mrs. Qian sighed and said, "I regret my mistake. If Shi Shizi from Weiyuan Marquis Mansion had not testified today, fortunately Shi Shizi was with Brother Yu in Mingyuan last night.
Otherwise, Brother Yu's future will be ruined today in the hands of that vicious woman.
At this point, Mrs. Qian paused and then said: "I have decided to divorce Mrs. Zhao. Ning Guangyan, what is your attitude on this matter?"
Ning Guangyan was able to speak and hurriedly said: "Mother, can't Mr. Zhao divorce?"
Ning Xucai stood up in anger, pointed at Ning Guangyan and cursed: "Guangyan, has your brain been kicked by a donkey? Or is there no woman in the world anymore? Why do you keep such a vicious woman? You keep hurting Ning.
Family heir?"
Ning Guangyan ignored Ning Xucai, walked to Mrs. Qian and knelt down, looked up at Mrs. Qian and said: "Mother, Mrs. Zhao can't divorce, not because of anything else, but because of Sister He.
His Royal Highness Prince Chen intends to make Sister He his concubine. This matter has already been approved by the Emperor.
Today, people from Qintian Prison came to the Ministry of Works to look for their son and asked for Sister He's birthday and horoscope.
Now, as long as the Qintian Supervisor has combined the horoscopes of Sister He and His Royal Highness Prince Chen, and is optimistic about the future, he will carry Sister He into Prince Chen's Mansion.
If we divorce the Zhao family at this time, what should we do?"
Everyone in the room, except Ning Wei, was stunned on the spot.
Mrs. Qian was first shocked, then annoyed, and regretted not divorcing Mrs. Zhao earlier.
In the future, with Prince Chen's Mansion as his backer, Zhao will definitely harm Brother Yu and Sister Wei even more unscrupulously.
Others were surprised, they were shocked that a daughter of the Ning family married into the royal family.
Ning Xuming came to his senses first, rubbed his hands and said, "If this is the case, Mrs. Zhao really can't let it go."
After hearing Ning Xuming's words, Ning Guangyan breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to hold Mrs. Qian's hand and said, "Mother, give Mrs. Zhao another chance and spare her this time. My son promises to restrain her well in the future. But
good?"
Mrs. Qian raised her hand, took it out of Ning Guangyan's hand, and said: "It's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change a character. I don't believe in Zhao anymore."
Mrs. Qian's hand was pulled away. Ning Guangyan could not hold Mrs. Qian's hand. Instead, she held Mrs. Qian's knees, shaking them while begging for mercy.
"Mother, my son promises that in the future, she will restrain Mrs. Zhao and prevent her from making things difficult for Brother Yu and Sister Wei again. Okay?"
Prince Chen is the youngest son of the imperial concubine and is deeply favored by the imperial concubine. The benefits to the Ning family can be imagined if Sister He enters Prince Chen's palace.
Ning Xuming then said: "Sister-in-law, for the sake of Sister He, how about giving Zhao another chance?"
Mrs. Qian remained silent,
The room fell into silence again.
Mrs. Qian was thinking about how to protect Ning Yu and Ning Wei. After a while, Mrs. Qian looked at Ning Guangyan.
He said word for word: "My heart has become cold towards Mrs. Zhao. No matter what you say, my attitude towards her remains unchanged."
Ning Guangyan begged bitterly: "Mother, just for Sister He's sake, please give Zhao another chance, okay?"
Mrs. Qian pushed Ning Guangyan's hand away to prevent him from shaking her legs any more.
