Chapter 13 Questioning
Aunt Lin didn't expect Ning Erlan to say that, she was at a loss for words.If she answered the question, Ning Erlan asked her when she would bring Wen's dowry back, but it was difficult for her to answer!
Although she has the key to the storeroom, many people don't know that the old lady ordered someone to separate a courtyard for Wen's dowry in the big storehouse, so she has never really seen Wen's dowry. dowry.

Most of the people who knew about the matter in the courtyard were sent out of the mansion by the old lady. If she slipped her tongue today and asked Wen to take the dowry back to the private treasury, it would be difficult for her to take it out again in the future!

Thinking about it this way, Aunt Lin knows that you, Erlan, must not let you hold on to the dowry. "Miss San, now it's time to think about how to solve the matter in front of you. Is it possible to let these people continue to make trouble?"

Ning Erlan saw Aunt Lin's intention to avoid the topic, and knew that there must be something ulterior in this.And it must have something to do with her mother's dowry.I don't have much memory about Wen's dowry before, and she brought it up today just to see Aunt Lin's reaction. It seems that things back then were really tricky.

"You people dare to trespass into the Ning Mansion. You really took the courage to take these people down." At this time, the guards of the Ning Mansion rushed forward to arrest those big men.

There were only a dozen or so people rushing over, and they shouldn't have come in because of the female relatives, but they didn't care so much because of the special circumstances.

But these guards are usually idle, so how can they be the opponents of these big guys who rely on their fists for food every day.Those who hit three times, five times and two times were beaten to the ground.

Everyone screamed "Wow" in pain, and they didn't dare to go forward.

"Do you have any money? If you don't have money, you can move things." The big man in the head already showed an expression of impatience. No matter who it is, it is the right way to get the money.

Ning Erlan stood up and looked at the impatient big man and said: "We are not the ones who owe you the money. If you want to evacuate the things in the Ning Mansion, your behavior will be no different from that of a robber. When the government wants to arrest people, you will not be able to get them back." Your money, on the contrary, you still have to go to jail, so the gain outweighs the loss." Ning Erlan didn't care whether these people really wanted to take away the things from the Ning Mansion.It's just that, as the daughter of the Ning family, if she doesn't come out to speak at this time, Aunt Lin will definitely use this as a topic to talk about things in front of Ning Guoan. She doesn't want to be used as an argument.

"Haha, I, Wan Laoqi, have lived for more than 30 years and have never been afraid of anything. You, a girl with no hair yet, dare to threaten me!" The big man in the head looked up and laughed when he heard Ning Erlan say this. Looking at Ning Erlan fiercely, he shouted.

Ning Erlan's lips under the veil outlined a faint smile, and her watery eyes were not frightened by Wan Laoqi's words. "You are not afraid, but after all, you are only a flesh and blood body. You have a wife and children, and you have no skills. It is impossible for you to be by the person who is important to you all the time." Ning Erlan spoke very slowly, with a soft and sticky tone in her crisp voice, as if she was concerned about the well-being of her friends far away.

But Wan Laoqi, who understood the meaning of the words, instantly sullen his face.Ning Erlan's meaning is obvious. Even if he is not afraid of anything, he also has family members. If someone wants to deal with his family members, he may not be able to protect them. This is a warning in disguise. Own!

Wan Laoqi squinted his tiger eyes, and had to re-examine the little girl standing in front of him.I saw that she was not very tall, but she was slender.Covering his face with a veil, only a pair of clear and big eyes can be seen.The slightly raised eyebrows showed a heroic spirit rarely seen in girls in boudoirs.

Aunt Lin watched the atmosphere in the room freeze instantly, and couldn't help but feel happy in her heart.If this ignorant Ning Erlan angered this bully, she might do something out of the ordinary.When Ning Erlan's reputation is ruined, it will be easier to bring down Wen Shi, a sick and dying ghost!
Suddenly, Wan Laoqi, who had a serious face, laughed again, looked at Ning Er and said, "Okay, courageous, I like courageous people. Today I will give you a day for your courage. , if I haven’t received the money when I come tomorrow, just wait to collect this kid’s body! Before tomorrow, I will save this kid.”

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the big man behind him put the things in his hand back to the original place, picked up Ning Desheng who was on the ground, turned and left Ning Mansion.

Ning Erlan opened her mouth intentionally and was blocked by Wan Laoqi to not take Ning Desheng away, but everyone saw the appearance of the big men when they made a move just now, at this moment, no one is willing to step forward to seek death, and they all stand there in fear Keep silent and let them take you away.

Unexpectedly, things would change so quickly, Aunt Lin stared blankly at the back of the big man leaving with her eyes wide open.What is Ning Erlan's virtue and ability, she can make these bullies leave with just a few words!

"Lan'er...you don't want to stand out as a girl in such a matter from now on, you shouldn't be allowed to come forward..."

As soon as Ning Erlan turned her head, she saw Wen's worried eyes. When she was talking to the big man just now, Wen had been holding her hand tightly, showing the degree of worry.

"Mother, we are the serious masters of this mansion. If father is not here, if we don't show up, who else can be the masters?"

What Ning Erlan said made Aunt Lin feel angry!He gritted his silver teeth and swallowed them in his stomach.What do you mean they are serious masters in this family? This doesn't take her seriously at all!
Wen looked at the strength and firmness in Ning Erlan's eyes with satisfaction, knowing that her daughter had grown up now.

"Mother, you are not in good health yet, I still want Shuangyue and the others to take care of you and go back to the courtyard to rest." Looking at Wen's pale face again, Ning Erlan couldn't bear to say.

After waiting for Wen Shi and others to leave, Ning Erlan took off the veil she was wearing, and then turned to look at Aunt Lin.

The viciousness in Aunt Lin's eyes was too late to take back, and all of it fell into Ning Erlan's eyes.

"Aunt Lin feels that she has been tired from managing the affairs of the mansion all these years?"

Ning Erlan's eyes were calm, and no one could see any waves, but for some reason, whenever Aunt Lin touched those eyes, she felt chills all over her body.

"I don't know what Miss San means?" At this moment, she really felt how dangerous the person she had played with before her was.

"My mother has been ignoring the affairs of the mansion for many years. What is Aunt Lin's intention to invite my mother out today? Is it because Auntie, you have nothing to do with the affairs of the mansion, or do you deliberately want to make my mother troublesome?"

Aunt Lin couldn't breathe for a moment when she was questioned by Ning Erlan. She felt aggrieved by what happened today, but now she is being questioned by a yellow-haired girl, how can she not be angry!

But before she opened her mouth to defend herself, Ning Erlan continued: "The Ning Mansion has a reputation in Shancheng, but after seeing those bullies, the guards in the mansion are like a mouse seeing a cat. I don’t know if Aunt Lin has been carefully trained by you these years? If this matter gets out, people outside may criticize our Ning Mansion, saying that we only have face and no heart! The guards you raise are even third-rate Bullies can't stop them."

"You, you! Madam is weak, but can you ignore the affairs of the mansion? Or Miss San, you don't regard yourself as someone from the Ning Mansion and say such sarcastic remarks." Aunt Lin avoided talking about herself For things that are not strictly managed, they just use Wen's identity to talk about things. Since they can use Wen's identity to suppress themselves, then they can't use it to talk about it?
"The master is back, the master is back. Third Miss, Aunt Lin is back." When the atmosphere between the two was at a stalemate, the maid outside the door reported happily.

As soon as Ning Erlan turned around, she saw Ning Guoan, who was dressed in pitch black, with dark patterns embroidered on his clothes, and a silver belt inlaid with jade around his waist. inside.

Aunt Lin's eyes lit up when she saw Ning Guoan, and her eyes quickly filled with tears, she stepped forward quickly and was about to throw herself into Ning Guoan's arms.

But she didn't want to, she was pushed aside by Ning Erlan who stepped forward before she even touched the corner of Ning Guoan's clothes.He staggered and almost fell down, but when he stood firm and wanted to express his grievances to Ning Guoan, he saw that Ning Erlan had already knelt down in front of Ning Guoan.

Ning Erlan's beautiful watery eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at Ning Guoan who came in aggressively with regret.

"My daughter is guilty, please punish her."

Ning Guoan had heard from the servants who went to him that something had happened in the mansion, so he ran back in a hurry.Now seeing Ning Erlan like this again, my heart sank even more.

"What the hell happened? Tell me."

"My daughter is useless, I can't hand over the money in time to protect elder brother Zhouquan." Ning Erlan looked at Ning Guoan with red eyes, her voice choked with deep self-blame.

Seeing Ning Erlan like this, Ning Guoan's breath also calmed down a bit. "What's the matter? You tell me the whole thing from beginning to end."

"Yes. My eldest brother owed 10 taels of silver for some reason, and was injured and brought back to the mansion to ask for the debt. Aunt Lin said that the mansion had no money, so she sent someone to find her mother who was recuperating in the hospital. Dad also knew Now Aunt Lin is in charge of the Zhongfu in the mansion. Aunt Lin should have sent this matter away, so what's the use of looking for my mother? Besides, my mother's pretending is still in the warehouse of the public house, so where did the 10 taels come from? Couldn’t get the money, and the gang didn’t agree, so they agreed to give us a day to redeem the eldest brother after persuasion from our daughter.” Ning Erlan didn’t give Aunt Lin a chance to intervene, and slipped away Things come out.

When Ning Erlan talked about Wen's dowry, Ning Guoan's eyes full of anger flashed a dark light very quickly. "What? 10 taels of silver! This scoundrel owes 10 taels of silver!"

Aunt Lin hated Ning Erlan for stealing her, uh, talking head, making it difficult for her to shirk responsibility!She also mocked her aura of being a family member when she has nothing to do, and would only move Wen's out to be a key card when encountering foreign affairs!

"Master, my concubine is incompetent, and I want to help the young master pay back the silver, but one hundred and twenty thousand silver is enough to cover the expenses of Ning's mansion for many years. How can there be so much cash in the mansion? We have to wait for the master to come back and make a decision." Aunt Lin also knelt down in front of Ning Guoan and cried in a low voice.

Ning Guoan probably knew the reason of the matter, he thought that it was really not easy for Aunt Lin to manage the affairs of the family these years, and now seeing him crying out of breath, he felt a little distressed.

He wanted to step forward to help her up, but when he saw Ning Erlan who was kneeling on the side, he just coughed lightly and said, "You all get up, you are right about this matter, it is the fault of such a dishonest bastard !"

Ning Erlan stood up with a cold light in his eyes.Although Ning Guoan dotes on Ning Desheng's eldest son, but if he is asked to hand over 10 taels of silver, his heart will ache to the bone.
