Chapter 564 Meat on the Chopping Board

A night of heavy rain made the air purification exceptionally good.

Luo Jin is a heartless person. After yesterday's day, although he was angry, the unlucky one was Aunt Tao. The one who was more angry than her was the old concubine. She also had Ning Shaonuo to comfort and nourish her. So there is no lump in my heart.

I just feel that last night, Ning Shaonuo was very gentle and she slept exceptionally well.

He just got up under the service of Liu Yan and Tang Mama, stretched his waist, and didn't want Wan Qing to come in to report.

"It's not good, Aunt Tao disappeared last night?"

Luo Jin's face turned pale. Although she didn't like Aunt Tao, she was a human being after all, and said in disbelief, "Dead? He died of poisoning? Didn't you say that the poison is not fatal?"

But Wan Jing said, "I didn't die from poisoning. The person who heard the report said that he died from overflowing himself. He said that he couldn't stand the loss of his hair..."

No matter how Luo Jin looked at it, she felt that Aunt Tao was not because of that kind of reason. On the contrary, this woman was very sorry for her life, "How is it possible?" I have to feel sorry for a bitch who has been trying to plot against her.

Wanyan's eyes flickered, "The visitor also said... Aunt Tao's natal family has arrived, and they are looking for justice from the old princess in the Ninghe courtyard. Woolen cloth."

Luo Jin's head hurts.

It really hurts.

Aunt Tao's father is a highly valued steward in the outer courtyard, her mother is also the steward's wife, and her elder brother seems to be a good errand, because of this, she will be assigned to Ning Shaonuo as a young girl, and she plans to raise her face and become an aunt in the future of.

Some slaves can be sold, but some cannot.

Moreover, Aunt Tao was not at fault, but she died for no apparent reason. It is only reasonable for her natal family to seek justice from the old concubine.

However, when people came to ask for justice, the old concubine came to her, obviously to push her out as a scapegoat.

To be honest, the last person she wants to meet is the old concubine.

However, God insisted on making such a joke with her.

Ning Shaonuo got up, "I'll accompany you."

He has been sending people to watch Ning Shaotong, however, he will not send people to watch a bitch like Aunt Tao, it's a waste of manpower.

In the middle of the night yesterday, he heard someone tell me that Aunt Tao went to find Ning Shaotong in the middle of the night.

Ning Shaotong also had several hidden guards around him, so his men couldn't stare too closely, of course he didn't know what the two of them were talking about.

However, what they said was not important to him at all.

The important thing is that Aunt Tao went to find Ning Shaotong alive yesterday, but she died this morning. Thinking about it, it must be Ning Shaotong's good deed again.

However, I knew from Kang Ning that even if Aunt Tao didn't die at this time, she wouldn't last for a few days.

Unlike Luo Jin, after analysis and investigation, Ning Shaonuo did not think that the poison was caused by Ning Shaotong.

He found a clue, and found a person who was unexpected at all. If he was given a few more days, the matter would come to light.

Luo Jin answered firmly, "No."

If Ning Shaonuo was around, she wouldn't be able to perform well.

Ning Shaonuo seemed to see Luo Jin's heart clearly, and sighed.

Of these two people, one is the woman he loves the most, and the other is the mother who gave birth to him and raised him to protect him. He would feel bad if anyone hurt the other, so how could he not be there.

Besides, the only thing Jin'er can rely on is Huoqiuer and the guards he gave her. Does she really think that no one around the old concubine can restrain Huoqiuer?
If that's the case, can the concubine mother's position as the concubine be secure? I'm afraid she has died so many times.

I'm afraid that the concubine mother has been prepared against Huoqiuer behind her back, if not, how could the concubine mother allow the existence of Huoqiuer to threaten her at any time.

Fortunately, he first assigned her the status of the first daughter of the Duke's mansion.

Even if the mother and concubine were extremely angry, she had to think about the Duke's Mansion.

Ning Shaonuo shook his aching head, "Let me go with you."

Although he didn't say it clearly, Luo Jin knew what Ning Shaonuo was thinking, the poor sandwich biscuit.

I hope that the old princess can understand her son's difficulties.

The two arrived at the Ningheyuan soon.

Luo Jin originally thought that the Ninghe Courtyard must be drowned by crying at this time, and it was extremely chaotic, but this was not the case.

At least outside the courtyard, I didn't even hear a single movement. If it weren't for the presence of many women waiting outside, Luo Jin would have thought that everything was as usual.

When she followed Ning Shaonuo into the main hall, she saw several women kneeling quietly on the ground under the leadership of an older nanny, neither crying nor making noise, but they did not get up.

The old concubine sat in a high position, counted the prayer beads with her eyes closed, and did not speak.

In the room, there were not only the old concubine, a group of maids and women, Taoer's family who were kneeling on the ground, but also Yang's side concubine Lu Concubine, Mo Qingran and others.

There was an eerie silence in the house.

Biting dogs don't bark, Aunt Tao's natal family are really powerful characters, no wonder the old concubine is hard to dismiss.

Luo Jin glanced casually at Concubine Yang's smug face, wishing to see her unlucky smile.

Mo Qingran looked at her anxiously.

Concubine Lu looked sympathetic.

While turning around to salute, Luo Jin had already sized up the elderly woman who was kneeling at the head, presumably this old woman was probably Aunt Tao's mother, Mrs. Zhou.

After her daughter died, she should have been crying, crying loudly, but Mrs. Zhou didn't cry, her waist was straight, and her red eyes were half drooping.

Probably it is precisely because of not crying that people feel a little bit of pity.

Even Luo Jin felt a little pity for Mrs. Zhou.

The old concubine opened her eyes slightly when she heard the movement.

"Here we come." Seeing Luo Jin and Ning Shaonuo coming with him, he couldn't help frowning.

Zhou, who was kneeling with her head down, bent her upper body to the ground, and knocked her head on the ground with a 'bang' sound, until the heart was filled with grief, "I beg the princess to give the little girl justice." Although she didn't cry, However, the choking in the voice could not be concealed.

The body prostrated on the ground kept shaking.

"Hey! It's so pitiful. Mother Zhou, don't worry, the princess has always been fair, so naturally she won't wrong your family." The one who spoke was Concubine Yang who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.

Luo Jin watched coldly, wondering when she became so kind.

At this time, Concubine Yang was crying while holding a handkerchief, "Sister, Mother Zhou is our Yang family's companion for my sister, and the whole family is dedicated to my sister. There is no credit but also hard work..."

The implication is that if such a loyal servant is treated badly, who will dare to be loyal to you in the future.

Mother Zhou didn't speak, she just crawled on her knees and begged for mercy, which made people feel heartbroken.

The old concubine raised her hand, and stopped what Concubine Yang was about to say, "Luo Shi, what do you say."

This question is really skillful.

Luo Jin's decision is a crime of usurpation.

She doesn't make up her mind, she's the meat on the chopping board.

With a dark snort, she said softly, "Returning to the princess, human life is a matter of heaven, Jin'er dare not say too much, I have heard that the princess has always been fair, so I follow the princess to make decisions." Replied neither humble nor overbearing, the question was thrown back in an instant Gave it to the old princess.

Since Ning Shaonuo wanted to follow, and since he didn't want her to make a move, then she would just leave the matter to him, and she didn't want to use her brain anymore, and she didn't want to make too much trouble with the old concubine and make it difficult for Ning Shaonuo.

The old concubine was a little surprised, probably because she didn't expect Luo Jin, a wild girl, to bow her head so easily.

This girl was still annoyed yesterday, if she was disrespectful to her, it is probably true what Nanny Chi said, she was taught by Nuo'er when she went back.

He hummed softly in his nose, and a stern light flashed in his eyes, "Well, since you said to let my concubine be the master, this concubine will be the master today."

This girl is jealous by nature and persecutes her concubines. As long as she saves her life, even if the Duke's mansion has objections, she won't be able to find out why.
