When Mo Lingwei heard the name Xinniang, he frowned slightly.
"Xin Niang?" He pondered the name repeatedly between his lips and teeth: "I seem to have heard it somewhere."
Then he said: "Leave this matter to me. When I return to the palace, I will send someone to find that person in the storm room. My name is Qing He."
Shen Ningning nodded repeatedly.
Her heart was filled with joy, as if the truth was right in front of her eyes, and she could find her parents just by stretching out her hand!
Mo Lingwei was left behind by Grandma Qin and left after eating.
Xie Mansion.
Xie Mingxu was sitting upright in the main hall with a stern look on his face.
He has investigated what happened.
During the time when Shen Ningning left on her own initiative, the little maid at the door said that the eldest maid Sandalwood next to the second lady had been here.
He also recited the conversations between Sandalwood and her intact to Xie Mingxu.
Xie Mingxu was such a smart person. He guessed at that time that Shen Ningning must have felt guilty after hearing Sandalwood's words.
So even though I was not in good health, I still insisted on leaving.
At this moment, Sandalwood was kneeling at his feet, crying.
"Young Master, I know I'm wrong. I shouldn't talk too much. I deserve to die." She slapped herself twice in the face cruelly.
The second lady and Xie Yuanjiu were sitting next to her, with different expressions on their faces.
Xie Mingxu didn't say anything, and Tanxiang slapped him, never daring to stop.
Everyone knows that the eldest young master has a cold and hard character, very much like the prime minister.
In the military, he was even more famous for his strict rules.
Xie Mingxu is a typical person who doesn't care about trivial matters, but once he touches on issues of principle, he will never be soft-hearted.
The second lady's face swelled up when she looked at Sandalwood, and there was blood dripping from the corners of her mouth.
She couldn't help but say, "Mingxu and Tanxiang knew they were wrong and punished themselves. How about forgetting this matter?"
"Forget it?" Xie Mingxu raised his eyes and looked at her with a majestic expression: " She made a mistake in my yard, how can she just let it go?"
The second lady looked stiff and said, "Actually, it's my fault. I was worried about the situation in your yard, so I asked Sandalwood to ask."
" Who would have thought that the child named Shen Ningning is so sensitive that she can't even listen to the truth. If I had known this, I would never have let Sandalwood come."
Xie Mingxu's eyes turned cold: "You still think it's Shen Ningning's fault? "
The second lady trembled all over and was about to speak, but Xie Yuanjiu stepped forward and said: "Brother, don't get me wrong, my mother is stupid and the more anxious she is, the more confused she will explain." The
second lady nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I mean well. "
Xie Mingxu pursed his thin lips and tightened his jawline, looking inhumane and cold.
Xie Yuanjiu continued: "My mother is in charge of internal affairs. There is a patient in your yard. She can't ignore it."
"Because she was worried about her elder brother, she sent Sandalwood over to ask. Sandalwood did say the wrong thing, but she also "There is no bad intention."
"If Miss Shen cares about it, why don't you take Sandalwood to admit her mistake?"
The second lady's eyes flashed with admiration, and she couldn't help but change her posture and looked at Xie Yuanjiu. Sit in the direction.
As expected of her daughter, she can explain things clearly in just a few words!
Just now, the second lady was so frightened by Xie Mingxu's look that she almost revealed everything.
However, after listening to Xie Yuanjiu's words, Xie Mingxu said coldly: "It's not that she cares about it. I didn't even ask her what happened."
"It was me who insisted on investigating. You all know that I can't tolerate sand in my eyes. " "
There's no need for Tanxiang to apologize."
After Xie Mingxu said this, the second lady breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, his next sentence was: "It's up to me to sell her directly to the house. The Xie house doesn't want the arrogant and talkative maid."
After Xie Mingxu finished speaking, the second lady's face turned pale.
Tan Xiang was so frightened that she cried: "Young Master, please forgive me, Young Master!"
The second lady also said quickly: "Mingxu, Tan Xiang's mother was my dowry. When she followed me to Xie's Mansion, she treated me and my husband They all served her with all their heart."
"Now that Tanxiang's mother has passed away, and Tanxiang grew up beside me, she is no different from half a daughter. How can I face it if you drive her away like this?" Xie Mingxu's tone was unequivocal: "She can talk nonsense in my yard today, but she may not publicize the private affairs of our Xie family outside in the future."
"Everyone must follow their own duty, and the duty of a maid is Do more and talk less."
"Second Aunt, there is no need to persuade anyone, come here," Xie Mingxu ordered, and two guards came in: "Take Sandalwood away."
Sandalwood rushed over and hugged the second lady's legs. Cries and howls filled the sky.
Xie Yuanjiu hesitated. She wanted to say something, but seeing Xie Mingxu's expression, she didn't want to speak.
Xie Mingxu is the same as her uncle Xie Suzhi. Once she decides something, it is useless to let others intercede.
The end is ruthless.
"Second Madam, Tanxiang can't leave. How can this slave live without Xie's Mansion?" Tanxiang cried sadly, holding on to the Second Madam's dress with both hands.
The second lady covered her tears with a handkerchief and kept looking at Xie Mingxu: "Mingxu, I beg you, second aunt, but if you sell the sandalwood like this, aren't you going to kill her?"
Xie Mingxu ignored it and just scolded the guard: " What are you waiting for? Take it away!"
Sandalwood howled and was dragged away.
The second lady burst into tears and fell into Xie Yuanjiu's arms, patting her heart and saying that she was incompetent.
Xie Mingxu's face did not change, he stood up and left, saying something by the way: "Second Aunt should send a message to all the servants in the house. Anyone who talks too much in the future will end up like sandalwood."
The second lady regretted it.
Sandalwood is her most effective confidant.
She is smart and diligent, and can also give her advice. She is very clever.
As a result, it was sold.
Most of the maids sold by their masters did not end well.
The second lady cried and said to Xie Yuanjiu: "No wonder the goddess said it was a big disaster. It was really so. If I had known this, I wouldn't have..."
Xie Yuanjiu immediately raised his hand, covered the second lady's mouth, and glanced outside the door.
Fortunately, Xie Mingxu had already led the people away.
The second lady also reacted and cried loudly again.
Xie Yuanjiu patted her back gently: "Mom, it's okay. I don't blame you."
A maid, just sell it.
However, Xie Yuanjiu didn't expect that Xie Mingxu would take Shen Ningning's matter so seriously.
But how long have they known each other?
The next day.
Shen Ningning had just woken up when Mo Lingwei had already arrived with news.
"When I sent someone to look for him, Qing He was already dead. It was also the plague." Mo Lingwei's eyes were heavy.
Shen Ningning was startled after hearing this, and her face turned pale.
"How could it be such a coincidence?"
Mo Lingwei pursed his lips: "I investigated her past. During the late emperor's time, she was a maid in the cold palace and had little contact with others."
"As for the lady you mentioned, I have searched all over the palace. , and there is no record of this name. It is very likely that the word 'Xin Niang' is just a nickname, not a full name."
Shen Ningning started to worry, and Mo Lingwei's words made sense.
If it's just a nickname given by someone close to you, it's really hard to find.
Sudden. An idea
flashed in her head: "Brother, let me show you something!"
The little guy ran into the house and after a while, he took out a Ruyi.
The next second, she lifted up her clothes and there was one tied to her belly.
Mo Lingwei was startled: "You have two Ruyi?"
Shen Ningning quickly shook her head: "This was given to me by Concubine Rong. It is exactly the same as the Ruyi that my parents left for me, except that they did not have mine engraved on it. Name."
