Chapter 97 Please Speak
The three brothers and sisters of the Zhuang family came together to Xianyi Residence of the Ningguo Mansion.
Mu Rong took a few steps towards him politely, without being arrogant or boastful.
"I heard you were here, so I asked the maid to make some fresh tea. Please take a seat."
The three siblings sat down as they were told, all looking unhappy.
Mu Rong gestured to serve tea and wanted to continue the politeness, but she saw that they all seemed unhappy.
what happened?
Did all the teasing on Ning Yunxi fail?
How is this possible?
I heard from Master Zhuang that they are all Fang Zhixuan's children.
The three descendants of the Fang clan, working together, were unable to deal with an unknown Ning Yunxi?
After thinking about it, she put away her smile, maintained her politeness, and asked tentatively.
"You guys came out of Yuexi Mansion so soon?"
"Did you really just have a meal?"
Zhuang Wei glanced coldly.
"how?"
"Besides eating, what else does Madam Ning want us to do?"
Mu Rong used actions to hide her embarrassment.
"Master Zhuang has misunderstood."
"I'm just worried that Xi'er won't be able to entertain me well."
Zhuang Wei took out the envelope, and handed it over with one hand in an arrogant manner.
"What does this letter mean?"
"I hope Madam Ning can give us a reasonable explanation."
"We found out that the maid who delivered this letter to Earl Hongshun's mansion was a servant of yours."
Mu Rong forced a smile, took the envelope, and did not open it.
Feeling strange.
That maidservant was clearly from Yuexi Mansion. When did she become a servant in my family?
The content of the letter was also directed at Ning Yunxi.
After reading the letter, they should not go to the Ning Mansion to call for punishment, but should go directly to deal with Ning Yunxi.
This is weird, why would they come to Xianyiju to cause trouble?
Could it be that the investigation was not thorough enough and they didn't lead to Ning Yunxi?
After thinking about it, she began to guide him with words.
"My servant?"
"But I didn't write a letter and have it delivered to Earl Hongshun's palace."
"Our two families have already agreed to meet today. If I have something to say, I can just tell you when we meet. Why would I need to do this?"
"Was it a letter from someone else in the family?"
"Let me think."
"The master is busy with the banquet, so he certainly has no time to write a letter; Fengzhe has left the capital and has not returned yet, so it is not him; Feng'er has been busy with the wedding these days, so it is even more impossible for her to have time to write a letter; Wei'er is still facing the wall, and this is the order from King Dijin, so she cannot disobey."
"Could it be Xi'er?"
"She won't be coming to our gathering today, so why write a letter to say hello?"
As he spoke, he glanced at them.
"Why do you look unhappy?"
"Could it be that Xi'er's writing is rude?"
"Alas, this child always speaks without thinking. Even though she is a little older than you, she is still a child. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me. I apologize to you on her behalf."
Zhuang Wei glanced at the letter as a gesture of approval.
"Please read the contents of the letter, Madam Ning, before making a final decision."
Mu Rong stood there stiffly, without any smile on her face.
If she had really read the letter, how could she frame Ning Yunxi?
As she struggled unwillingly, she looked a little embarrassed.
"This is a letter written to you. How can I open it casually?"
"It's really against etiquette."
Zhuang Wei smiled slightly.
"It's okay, please read it. I allow Madam Ning to read the letter."
Having said that, he turned to his second brother and third sister.
"Do you have any objections?"
Zhuang Rui and Zhuang Xianhui shook their heads together.
"No objection."
Zhuang Wei nodded in response, then turned to Mu Rong.
"Did Madam Ning hear it?"
"Please take a look."
"Or do I need to ask my father for his opinion on this matter?"
Mu Rong was furious inside, but she still treated him politely on the surface.
"I think since you all agree, Mr. Zhuang will not have any objection."
"In that case, I'll watch it."
"correct……"
She was about to find an excuse to escape when she heard Zhuang Wei threateningly say, "If Madam Ning is too exhausted from handling household affairs to read the letter, I can read it for you!"
Mu Rong's face turned pale.
"Mr. Zhuang, you are too polite."
"It's just a letter. I'm exhausted, but it doesn't matter."
As she said this, she reluctantly opened the envelope and began to read the letter.
After reading it, I had no choice but to defend Ning Yunxi.
"This...this..."
"This couldn't have been written by Xi'er!"
Having said that, she still wanted to struggle.
"Although the handwriting of the letter is obviously written by Xier, please believe that Xier is definitely not the kind of person who would betray her brother and be greedy for money."
“Perhaps you have heard such rumors.”
"When Xi'er married into Prince Chen's mansion, she asked for an exorbitant price and fabricated many customs out of thin air, spending a lot of money from her husband's family."
"But she is a girl. What's wrong with trying to find a future for herself?"
Zhuang Wei's eyes were dim and unfathomable.
"Madam Ning means that the rumors are true?"
"I thought you would say that rumors are not to be believed."
The corners of Mu Rong's lips turned down, and the traces of time on her eyebrows trembled slightly.
"I didn't say that."
"All right and wrong depends on how people understand it."
"What does Master Zhuang think of this matter?"
Zhuang Wei threw the question back again.
"That depends on how Madam Ning wants me to view this matter."
Mu Rong's eyes were focused, full of anxiety and uneasiness.
"No matter what I say, are you willing to believe it?"
Zhuang Wei returned a look of affirmation.
"Ah."
"All right and wrong depends on you."
"If you let me understand that Princess Yuexi is greedy, then I will hate her."
"The three of us brothers and sisters will all hate her."
Mu Rong clenched her fists tightly.
"How could I possibly slander and ridicule my own daughter?"
"Mr. Zhuang, you are too serious."
When Zhuang Wei frowned, it seemed as if dark clouds were gathering.
"Mrs. Ning is right. A mother will naturally not slander her daughter."
"In that case, please tell me how you want us to view this matter?"
Mu Rong forced herself to be polite.
"Master Zhuang has always been wise, why do you need me to say anything?"
Zhuang Wei flatly denied it.
“It’s too complicated.”
"Madam Ning is a man of great virtue and talent, yet she has dragged on for so long without even a single definite answer, let alone me."
"I'm in my early twenties and I don't understand complicated things. Is that normal?"
"Please speak clearly, Madam Ning."
Mu Rong showed a trace of pain.
"Okay, I'll make it clear."
"One can tell from this letter that it is a plot by an outsider to sow discord."
"I think he is jealous of our marriage."
"Don't be fooled."
Zhuang Wei pretended to be surprised.
"So, this letter has nothing to do with Princess Yuexi?"
Mu Rong nodded reluctantly.
"No relationship."
Zhuang Wei smiled with satisfaction.
"I see. Then we know."
"Since it is a case of alienation, it is inevitable that we must thoroughly investigate the person behind the scenes."
"Should Madam Ning investigate, or should our father investigate?"
Mu Rong hurriedly took it with a guilty conscience.
"I'll check it out."
"Master Zhuang is assisting His Majesty, working day and night, and he certainly has no time to take care of these trivial matters."
Zhuang Wei nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, Madam Ning."
"Then we'll go first. Goodbye."
Mu Rong simply walked him a few steps.
"I won't send you far."
After watching them leave, she became furious and pushed down the wooden shelf next to her.
The objects on the wooden shelf fell unevenly to the ground, and the whole place was in a mess in an instant.
"Too deceiving!"
