Chapter 868 Yuan'er's Thoughts
Xu Yingyuan settled down slowly and returned to Zhuxianju.
At this time, the servants had already replaced the furniture and were leaving one after another.
Xu Yingyuan took a bottle of medicine, finished the ceremony, and sat next to her mother.
"Yi Li Ju, I already know about my mother's suffering."
"Look, mother, Aunt Ning is pretending to be nice and bringing me medicine for my wounds."
Leng Man refused subconsciously without hesitation.
"No need for her to pretend to be kind, I applied the medicine myself."
She was a little slow to catch the point.
"How do you know about this? Did Ning Jiewei tell you?"
Xu Yingyuan fanned the flames.
"Why should she tell me? Everyone in the mansion knows about it."
"I'm afraid that even the people from the first and second houses are laughing at you."
Leng Man was immediately annoyed.
"How can this be possible? Who is spreading this nonsense?!"
Xu Yingyuan was sly, hiding a trace of guilt in her eyes.
"Who else could it be? Aunt Ning."
"Could it be me?"
Leng Man became more and more angry.
"She is really too much."
"I just provoked her a little, why did she get so angry?!"
Xu Yingyuan continued to fan the flames.
"not only that."
"I asked the doctor to check this medicine, and he was shocked to find that it was different. If my mother takes it, her face will be disfigured and she will never be healed."
Leng Man was shocked and angry, and snatched the medicine bottle.
"What? She..."
"What deep hatred do I have with her that she would treat me like this? I'll go tell the master."
Xu Yingyuan quickly stopped her.
"Don't be impulsive, mother."
"After this medicine passed through our mother and daughter's hands, my father would think that we tampered with it to frame Aunt Ning."
Leng Man was quickly convinced.
"Yes, the master dotes on her very much and will definitely stand on her side unconditionally."
Xu Yingyuan coaxed and persuaded.
"Mrs. Ning has committed many evil deeds. Mother will take note of them first. When she reveals her true colors and father sees her true colors, you can settle accounts with her all at once."
Leng Man nodded.
"Yuan'er has a wonderful idea."
"She pretended to be docile and kind, and the master was deceived by her appearance and believed that she was a virtuous person."
"What should we do to tear off her disguise?"
Xu Yingyuan tried to simplify the plan as much as possible so that Ning Jiewei would not be unable to cooperate.
"Mother invited her to the back garden to appreciate the flowers, provoked her with words, and led her to push you into the water."
"I asked my father to go there and let him see the scene."
"how?"
Leng Man pointed out the difficulty.
"You have a good idea, but no matter what I said, she just wouldn't push me."
"What can I do?"
Xu Yingyuan handled it with ease.
"You can pretend to fall into the water and slander her, that's fine."
"My father is honest and simple, and he can't tell that my mother is scheming."
Leng Man was frowning.
"Just this one thing may make it difficult for the master to recognize the evil woman."
Xu Yingyuan rubbed her brows.
"Why are you in such a hurry, mother? We need to take our time and proceed step by step."
Leng Man adopted her daughter's good advice.
"Okay, I'll take a break and then go meet her."
At this time, a servant came and told them to go to the main hall.
Everyone from the third room gathered in the main hall. Xu Mingqian showed his love and presented the plaque to Ning Jiewei.
Leng Man was slapped twice and treated coldly; when Ning Jiewei received the plaque, it was Xu Mingqian who went to the villa in the southern suburbs personally and hired a skilled craftsman to engrave their names on it and send it to her.
Who is not favored and who is favored is obvious to all.
The servants appeared respectful on the surface, but Leng Man could imagine what their expressions were in private. She was furious and angry.
They all acted in unison and added fuel to the fire. Leng Man completely lost her mind and made up her mind to drive Ning Jiewei away and restore the peace of the past.
Leng Man invited Ning Jiewei to stroll around the back garden together.
Ning Jiewei understood what he meant and arrived as promised, following Leng Man's footsteps to the lake to feed the fish.
Xu Yingyuan followed the plan and invited Xu Mingqian.
Ning Jiewei didn't make any move until Leng Man saw the right moment and pretended to fall into the water, but unexpectedly, Ning Jiewei got there first.
The maid behind her was secretly arranged by Xu Yingyuan. She pretended to be kind and helped Leng Man in time.
"Ma'am, be careful."
The plan of falling into the water was unexpectedly cracked by the maid. Leng Man was so angry that she pushed her away.
"Why are you pulling me here? It's a waste of time!"
Xu Mingqian took off his cloak, rushed forward, jumped into the water and rescued Wei'er.
"Weier, are you okay?"
Ning Jiewei choked on the water and looked miserable.
"Sister... cough cough...sister pushed me into the water..."
After saying this, she pretended to faint.
Xu Mingqian called out anxiously.
"Weier! Weier!"
He cleverly sent Yuan'er away.
"Yuan'er, go quickly and call Doctor Li over, quickly."
Xu Yingyuan was pretending, but the situation changed suddenly and she was unable to react for a while. She had no time to think and just obeyed the order.
"Yes."
Leng Man wanted to call her and plead for mercy, but she reached out her hand, but her hand was empty.
"Yuan'er, Yuan'er..."
Xu Yingyuan left in a hurry without even looking back, leaving Leng Man disheveled in the wind.
Xu Mingqian picked up the cloak and covered Wei'er with it.
"Madam, why are you so cruel to hurt me?"
"Do you want Wei'er's life?"
Leng Man defended herself by telling the truth, and her expression was particularly sincere.
"Master, it's clear that I didn't push her. She jumped down by herself."
"Her purpose is only to frame good people."
"All the maids can testify."
Xu Mingqian rejected it straightforwardly.
"The maids are all yours, what can they testify to?"
He picked up Wei'er and sat on a stone seat nearby.
"Let me ask you, did she ask you to come visit the back garden?"
Leng Man hesitated.
"No... not."
Xu Mingqian made a logical decision and determined the right and wrong.
"She was invited here, so she has no control over the situation. So, it can be seen that the Madam must have some other conspiracy, right?"
Leng Man was full of grievances.
"She used the same trick against me."
Xu Mingqian was nitpicking and making accusations.
"So, Madam did use a trick, and Wei'er was just using her own method to retaliate?"
Leng Man has a hard time expressing her pain.
"Here……"
Xu Mingqian looked at his wife with sharp eyes.
"You are making trouble here, declaring your status as mistress, and suppressing Wei'er. If you fail, you will kill me."
"The family has lived in harmony for many years, and I never knew that the lady was such a person behind the scenes."
The words that were originally intended to condemn Ning Jiewei suddenly fell on Leng Man.
She was caught off guard and trembling with panic.
"No, no, Master misunderstood."
Xu Mingqian was furious.
"Weier fainted in my arms. The evidence is irrefutable. Do you still dare to quibble?"
Leng Man took off the hairpin and held it in her hand.
"Master, don't be fooled. She is pretending to be unconscious."
"If you don't believe me, I'll stab her and she'll definitely wake up."
Xu Mingqian quickly protected Wei'er and shouted loudly at the same time.
"You are not allowed to come close, stay back!"
"Madam, you are blatantly harming others, aren't you afraid that I will escort you to Yin Sitai and deal with you impartially?!"
Leng Man was so scared that she stepped back and put away her hairpin.
"Master, please think twice, Yin Sitai, I can't go."
Fearing that she might hurt someone again, Xu Mingqian was extremely alert and watched his wife's movements closely.
"Then I will punish you. You are only allowed to use the things specified in the regulations for the concubine room. Does Madam have any objection?"
Leng Man looked worried.
"No."
Xu Mingqian gave an order.
"Go back home and change your belongings on your own initiative."
Leng Man responded gloomily, then turned and left.
"Yes."
