Power spoiled fierce wife

Chapter 97
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to respond to this topic.

The old lady of the Duke's Mansion has always been prudent and values ​​her reputation. Today, she specially held this flower viewing party. Can you clarify?

Everyone looked outside at Jin Ning, who was standing with Princess Ruian, with doubts in their eyes.

Seeing that she looks exactly like Zhen Shi in appearance and dress, remembering that Su Yi once showed favor to Zhen Shi as a eunuch, and how biased the eunuch's behavior is, is it true?

The so-called mentoring is just a cover-up?

Princess Pingan shook her head lightly. She was afraid that after the banquet, Su Yi would not dare to protect Jinning again.

It's not that he cares about his own reputation, it's that he cares about Jin Ning's reputation. Su Yi cares about Jin Ning very much.

The old lady is going to break Jinning's backing.

And this kind of thing, the old lady said it in public, even if Jin Ning was listening, she couldn't justify it. A woman who has not left the court, you say she has an affair with someone, she can still justify it. How can she justify it?These two words make people talk about it.

Moreover, even if Jin Ning explained it, who would believe it?
On the contrary, there is a suspicion of getting darker and darker.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, who else would be willing to marry her?Can she stay in the capital?
This old lady is really killing people without blood.

Putting it to death, she even wiped off Chen Guogong's face.

She looked at Jin Ning, and wanted to shake her head at her, telling her not to speak. There are some things that are useless to explain.

But Jin Ning had already strode in, "Grandma, who said such things outside?"

Yuan Shi took her hand and said with concern: "Ning'er, don't worry, people outside talk nonsense, your grandmother will make decisions for you."

Chen Jinluo snorted, "Do you still have the face to ask? If it weren't for your misbehavior to make people see it, why would people spread the word outside? Can't you pay attention to your words and deeds?"

Jin Ning said coldly: "Why don't you have the face to ask? It is a serious crime to frame an official of the court. If it's just me, I'm just a wild girl in Qingzhou, and my reputation has long been gone after being divorced, but my master is How can a high-ranking member of the court, who is highly valued by the emperor and empress dowager, command the Southern Prison, be framed at will? This matter must be investigated to find out."

She turned around and shouted, "Ke Li, go and invite Master Zhang of Jingzhao Mansion to come here. Since grandma has heard rumors from outside, someone must have told her. Check from the people around grandma to the source of the rumors. Let’s see whether those people want to frame Mr. Su or deal with Nanjian.”

Dealing with Nanjian's words meant that things were going to get worse.

Everyone thought carefully and feared that if there were such rumors, it was hard to guarantee that Master Su's enemies did not come out to ruin his reputation and then deal with Nanjian.

Nanjian has been very powerful in recent years, and Su Yi, as a eunuch, even surpassed the imperial court officials. Zhongshu Sheng sometimes has to look at Su Yi's face.

There are a few who can't think about it, thinking that if you overthrow Su Yi, you can be pushed to the South Prison, that would be bad.

And the Southern Supervisor's thorough investigation of this matter is a large-scale investigation, just to investigate rumors?I'm afraid there will be other investigations.

Which of today's Beijing officials is absolutely clean?

Who can stand the investigation?
The old lady's eyes were dark, and she spoke slowly, "It's fine to clarify this matter today, don't make a fuss, otherwise people who don't know it will know it."

Jin Ning suddenly said: "I am open and aboveboard. I am not afraid of people knowing or not. I am only worried that someone will deliberately attack Nanjian and Mr. Su. How can my personal reputation be compared with the state affairs? Nanjian is working for the emperor. Ruo Rong If people with ulterior motives talk nonsense outside, wouldn’t it hurt the emperor’s face and delay the important event?”

"Shut up, don't talk about government affairs!" The old lady snapped.

Jin Ning looked at her, "Grandmother, this is not talking about government affairs indiscriminately, don't worry, today you asked everyone to clarify this matter for me with good intentions, my granddaughter is grateful, but you have to do whatever you want, and you can't tolerate it People with ulterior motives."

She turned to the wives and said, "Madams must have heard such things outside, right? When the yamen comes, I would like to ask everyone to be a witness, and then catch the random spreader, so that he can be admitted to the court." crime!"

The ladies quickly waved their hands, "I've never heard of it, today is the first time I've heard it."

"This is the first time I've heard it?" Yuan was taken aback, "But it's spread outside?"

Madam Jingguo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke coldly, "My Madam has countless spies in the capital, not to mention the matters related to Master Su and Nanjian, even if any concubine was summoned by any lord last night. It is clear, if such a thing really spreads outside, how can this wife not know? Is it because some people in the Duke's Mansion are jealous that the third lady has the title of county head, and there is a master Su Yi who is protecting her, so she is jealous and deliberately fabricates some Rumors came out to slander the third lady? Otherwise, why didn’t people hear about it outside, but only heard about it in the Duke’s mansion?”

Mrs. Yasukuni Marquis never protected anyone, let alone Chen Jinning, whom she had never met.

She speaks with dignity and credibility.

Everyone looked at the old lady with a look of inquiry.

The old lady's face darkened slightly, "Mrs. Jingguohou's words are reasonable, if the matter is not reported outside, but only mentioned in the Duke's mansion, then there must be someone who maliciously slandered, and the old lady was almost taken advantage of."

Her face darkened again, and she ordered Yuan Shi, "Go and check right away, and find out who said it?"

Yuan Shi hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "It was said by the servant in the sister-in-law's house."

Changsun's face changed drastically, and he said hastily: "Mother, daughter-in-law, go back and tear the mouths of those servants."

Everyone knew that the stepwife was jealous of the daughter of the former wife, so these rumors were deliberately spread.

However, I'm afraid it's not just jealousy. I heard that Chen Jinrui's dismissal has something to do with this third lady, and I'm afraid it's revenge.

The old lady looked at Changsun with a livid face, "You can't manage the servants in your house well. If you spread such humiliating words to the master, it's not too much to kill them with a stick. Tomorrow, bring the talkative people to my house." In the middle, I personally imprisoned!"

"Yes!" Mrs. Changsun glared at Mrs. Yuan fiercely, but she didn't dare to say anything, she didn't dare to offend the old lady.

Now she has no natal family to rely on, and if she offends the old lady, she has no choice but to leave the house.

Jin Ning said to the old lady: "Fortunately, grandma is wise and found out about this matter!"

The old lady hummed, and said gently: "It's good that the truth comes out now. Grandma has been to the southern country for two years. I never thought that the people in this house have lost their rules."

In other words, the Changsun family failed to manage the family well.

Changsun's face turned blue for a while, then turned pale for a while, and he could only admit his mistake humbly, not daring to say a word.

Mrs. Jiang Ninghou has been watching coldly, without saying a word, her expression is indifferent, as if she just came to be a spectator today.

Princess Ping'an was not good at these right and wrong and inner house struggles, seeing Jin Ning's victory, she gave Jin Ning a knowing smile.

Jin Ning also nodded slightly at her, and his eyes slowly fell on Madam Jingguo's face.
