Strange to say, Honghui fell in love with Ling Ruo after meeting her several times. He would often pester her and even call her aunt as an exception. The eight-year-old Honghui was lively and active, but Nala was weak.
,unmanned
He played with him, but he didn't like Li Shi, Nian Shi and others. There was no one around him to talk to except the wet nurse and the serving maids. Now that Ling Ruo had caught his eye, she couldn't let him go.
Go to Jing Si Jing often.
As soon as Honghui was born, he was registered as the eldest son of Baylor House. Behind his noble and distinguished status, he was often lonely and desolate. His status was destined to prevent him from playing with his peers, let alone leave the house.
.So Ling Ruo cherished him very much. When Honghui was studying and practicing martial arts, he often played takraw and bamboo horses with him. He also ordered Xiao Luzi and Xiao Changzi to build a swing in Jingsi Residence.
, for him to swing on.
Honghui finished class that day and couldn't wait to run to Jingsiju. Yesterday, Aunt Ling said that as long as he could recite the "Book of Filial Piety" taught by Mr. Sun in class today, she would give him a surprise. For this reason, he recited it yesterday
I went to bed at midnight.
Although "The Classic of Filial Piety" only has 1,903 words, each section is fragmented and has no connection at all. It is extremely difficult to memorize it all. Mr. Sun never thought that he would be required to memorize it overnight. He thought he would be able to memorize it by the end of the month.
It's pretty good if you can recite it 70% of the time.
Honghui couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Mr. Sun's expression in class just now when he heard him recite the "Book of Filial Piety" word for word. He opened his mouth so wide that he was not afraid of flies flying in.
As soon as I stepped into Jingsiju Honghui, I felt something was wrong. Usually someone should be cleaning the courtyard at this time. Why is there no one in the courtyard now? Where have they all gone? This question was suddenly solved when I came to the main hall.
See the gorgeously dressed Nian
Shi Shiran was sitting on a big rosewood chair, with hollow flying phoenix golden steps hanging down and numerous golden beads, which were luxurious and dazzling. Ling Ruo knelt on the ground, and the servants of Jingsiju knelt down and threw a ball in front of them.
The dead cat was the pom-pom Nian often held in his arms.
No, something happened! Honghui was startled, and just as he was about to quietly retreat and tell his mother, Nian's personal maid, Lu Yi, saw him standing on tiptoes, ready to slip away, and called out, "Your Majesty."
Seeing that his whereabouts were exposed, Honghui had no choice but to walk in and bow politely, "Honghui has met Aunt Nian, Aunt Nian is safe."
Nian's livid face softened slightly, and she beckoned him to come closer, "The prince is also here, just in time. Please help my aunt think about it. Someone cruelly poisoned the pompom that my aunt has raised for several years. What do you think should be done with it?"
"
Honghui glanced at her carefully and then at Ling Ruo who was kneeling on the ground and whispered: "Aunt Nian said that, is it possible that the cat was poisoned to death by someone from Jingsiju?"
Nian glanced at Lu Yi, and she understood immediately and explained: "As for the prince, Pom Pom often plays around in the east courtyard and disappears when there is nothing to do. It was the same yesterday. He didn't come back at night. At first, the master didn't care, thinking that
The pompom went crazy playing somewhere,
But until this morning, there was still no trace, so I ordered the slaves and others to search everywhere, but unexpectedly they found the stiff body of the ball outside the courtyard of Jingsi Residence." Lvyi's eyes were slightly red and he pointed at Ling Ruo and others and scolded:
"No need to ask, they must have poisoned me."
"I...I...didn't...didn't..." Xiao Luzi wanted to deny it but became increasingly anxious and speechless. Lu Yi even pointed out that he stuttered because of a guilty conscience.
Ling Ruo stopped Xiao Luzi from continuing, raised her plain face and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "Looking back at Fujin, Xiao Luzi's stuttering is natural, and it has nothing to do with whether he is guilty or not. As for the pompom..." She paused slightly and said truthfully: "
During these days, I really come to Jing Si Ju Fu quite often.
Recently, Xiaoluzi and the others had seen the snow-white and cute pompoms and fed them a few times, but they would never do something as vicious as poisoning. Fujin's family must be kind-hearted and unwilling to unjustly accuse innocent people out of anger. Ling Ruo dared to return the favor.
Please Fujin investigate clearly and clear my name and others."
"According to what you say, have I wronged you?" Nian smiled coldly, stood up and looked at Ling Ruo condescendingly, his eyes full of haze and hatred, "I knew you could speak eloquently, Ling Gege, but today I see you, what's wrong?"
Xu, no wonder Lord Beile looked at him differently and gave him Jingsiju; since you said that you didn't kill Pom Pom, why would he die outside your courtyard by chance?"
"I don't know who I am." In fact, Ling Ruo knew in her heart that either Pompom had eaten the wrong thing or someone had poisoned her to frame her. However, the matter was closely related and she didn't have any evidence. Saying it rashly would only cause trouble.
Endless trouble.
"You want to send it away without knowing anything? Ling Gege, what do you think of this Fujin, and what do you think of the fate of being a pompom!" At the end of the sentence, Nian was furious. He flicked his sleeves and pointed at Lu Yi and said coldly: "Will
Show her what you pulled out of Pom Pom’s mouth!”
Lu Yi agreed and unfolded the silk handkerchief in her hand, only to see a ball of white paste on it, which seemed to be fish meat, and a small half of a fish head.
Lingruo's heart skipped a beat when she saw this fish head. It was clearly the crucian carp head in the hibiscus and crucian carp soup that was delivered from the kitchen at noon. At that time, she thought the peppercorns in the soup had a spicy taste, so she only used her chopsticks once.
When he saw Pom Pom coming, he ordered Xiaoluzi to pick out the remaining fish and put them in a small dish for Pom Pom to eat.
Nian took off the silver hairpin from her green hair and inserted it into the fish head. After a while, she pulled it out and saw that the hairpin was blue-black, which looked like poison. She threw the hairpin hard in front of Ling Ruo and said with a fierce voice: "
I asked the kitchen, I only sent you crucian carp today, Niu Hulu Lingruo, the facts are all there, what else can you say?"
"I have nothing to say." This was a carefully planned game. The person who set up the game used pom-poms as bait to lure Nian to deal with her step by step. She was already at a disadvantage early on, whether she was calculating or not. No matter what she said at this time
Nian would not believe anything, and would only assume that she was being quibbling.
It is also possible that the pompon was poisoned by Nian himself, just to find an excuse to deal with her. When Yinzhen left the house that day, Nian was clearly hostile to her, and Li had also reminded her that if this was the case, Nian
The methods are not cruel.
"So, Ling Gege, have you admitted it?" The red lips curved slightly, raising a ferocious smile. The anger spread silently in the eyes. The atmosphere in the entire Jingsi Residence was extremely depressing. Shuixiu and others knelt on the ground.
I didn't even dare to take a breath.
Nian leaned down and whispered in Ling Ruo's ear: "A murderer must be punished with a life, what do you think I should do with you?" The fragrance of Yingdie powder filled the tip of his nose and lingered.
"Aunt Nian." Honghui pulled Nian's sleeve and whispered: "It's a pity that Pom Pom is dead, but it's just a cat, not a human. Can you not blame Aunt Ling?"
Nian's face turned cold, and his hand wearing a tortoiseshell and rice-embedded jade jade and sunflower armor caressed Honghui's smooth forehead, "Your Majesty, if you die, your descendant Fujin will definitely be devastated; although Pom Pom is a cat,
But to me, I am no different from other people. I will never
Let go of those who dare to harm it." The voice paused slightly and then said: "Also, Crown Prince, please remember that Niu Hulu is just a princess. Calling her aunt will only lower her status." After that, she went to court to serve.
The servant on the side said: "Send the prince back."
Honghui struggled not to let anyone touch her, and begged Nian to let Ling Ruo go. However, the others made small talk, and Nian didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, she asked people to take him away quickly. When the stalemate happened,
Mrs. Li is here and has a glimpse of Jingsiju
They were in such a mess that they couldn't help but be startled, and then asked what was going on. Seeing Li, Honghui seemed to have seen a savior, and ran to her side and begged: "Aunt Li, please save Aunt Ling, Aunt Nian."
Make her pay with her life for the velvet ball."
"Pay for life?" Li's eyelids twitched, and she looked at Nian and said, "Sister, what is going on?"
Nian and Li were not at odds with each other, so they snorted and ignored each other. Luyi explained the matter in general. After hearing this, Li frowned: "Is there any misunderstanding? From what I can see, Ling is incompatible with each other."
Like someone who would do such evil things."
"Misunderstanding?!" Nian sneered, "My sister is still confused even though she is young. This matter is clear and clear. How come there is a misunderstanding? Is it possible that my sister still wants to confuse right and wrong?" Such sharp words were even expressed by Li.
I can't help but face the family's self-cultivation.
Her expression changed slightly, but before she could say anything, Nian said again: "I need to ask the people in Jingsiju for an explanation of what happened today. It's better for my sister not to wade into this troubled water. Otherwise, when Lord Baylor comes back, I will tell the truth."
Report, saying that my sister is protecting the Niu Hulu family!"
"You!" Mrs. Li knew that she didn't take him seriously, but he didn't expect that she would be so aggressive and leave no room for him. She was so angry that her face turned red and she was speechless.
