She was straightforward on the surface, and had never experienced the horrible human nature of these people who said one thing in front of another and another behind their backs.

After marrying into the Ni family, she was born blind and could not see. She thought it was her fault. Even when the third sister-in-law stabbed her with a needle, she thought it was because A Zhan exchanged her for military merits, and it was her fault.

Now, seeing it with her own eyes, it was too terrible.

She looked at Ni Zhan expectantly. He was her husband and the person she entrusted her life to.

"A Zhan." She whispered.

Ni Zhan walked to her step by step, his voice as affectionate as always, but his words chilled her heart.

"Mingle, it was Jinfu who took the initiative to beat people, right?" He also looked at her expectantly, "You are always kind-hearted, you won't deliberately anger mother and beat people?"

"No, no." Mingle shook his head with red eyes, "Mother is pretending to be sick, she is not sick, the third sister-in-law wanted to beat me, so Jinfu helped me."

Mingle thought that if she told the truth, Ni Zhan would stand on her side.

But, it didn't.

"Mingle, you disappoint me so much."

Ni Zhan shook his head painfully, "You knew that mother was in poor health, why didn't you go along with her a little more?"

"Mother is not sick! She was pretending!" Mingle wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start.

"Why did mother pretend to be sick to frame you?" Ni Zhan asked back.

Mingle couldn't answer, Ni Zhan said firmly: "Mingle, I didn't expect you to start bullying the family as soon as you got the upper hand."

"I didn't!"

"I know you didn't." Ni Zhan patted her head soothingly, and turned to look at Jin Fu who was standing calmly and self-sustainingly, "You were instigated by someone."

Jin Fu's mouth curled up in a mocking angle, so the prince consort is blaming her now?

"You are relying on coming out of the palace to run rampant in the Ni Mansion."

At this point, there is no other way to calm the anger of the family except to blame everything on Jin Fu and let Jin Fu take the blame for Mingle.

Ni Zhan felt that he had no choice but to do so, so he reached out to grab Jin Fu, but Jin Fu dodged and said in a cold voice: "My Lord, I was sent by the Emperor to protect the princess. No one in the world has the right to deal with me except the princess and the Emperor!"

Ni Zhan was stunned.

Jin Fu grabbed Ming Le and stood in front of Ni Zhan, "My Lord, look carefully, the person standing in front of you is your first wife. Do you really not know her temper or are you pretending to be confused?"

"Look at her eyes, can't you see the grievance in them?"

In fact, what Jin Fu wanted to ask more was that Princess Ming Le's eyes were so bright. As her husband, the person she loved the most and was closest to, could he really not see that the princess's eyes had recovered?

Jin Fu said angrily, "My dear husband, you have never asked the princess if she is well since you entered the house. You only heard the one-sided words of the people in the house and determined that Princess Mingle is guilty. Where is your justice? Or is it in my heart? It doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong, or whether Princess Mingle is wronged or not. What matters is to calm Mrs. Ni's anger?"

One question after another hit Ni Zhan's heart and Mingle's heart.

She suddenly remembered the past, remembering that her mother always said she had a headache, and that time when she was tripped and spilled hot tea on her mother, and then she slapped her and scolded her for doing it on purpose. She said it was not true, and her mother got angry and had a headache and stayed in bed for a long time.

That was, A Zhan took her to kneel outside the door for a long time.

So it was all fake?

Tears fell in big drops, and Ni Zhan panicked, "Mingle?"

As if she felt the change in the atmosphere outside the house, Ni's mother inside the house cried even louder.

The second wife yelled, "Brother, mother has a severe headache, come and see!"

"A Zhan." Ming Le called him.

Ni Zhan gritted his teeth, "Ming Le, wait until I comfort mother, I will explain to you."

Ni Zhan said, turned and rushed into the house.

Ming Le watched Ni Zhan walk farther and farther away, and wanted to chase him, but Jin Fu held her back and reminded her, "Princess, the emperor is still waiting for you. You promised the emperor that you would go to the palace to study today."

"But..."

Jin Fu persuaded, "Princess, it's very chaotic now, and you can't help here. It's better to go to the palace to fulfill your promise to the emperor. When you come back, the prince consort will calm down, and you two can have a good chat. The prince consort also said that he will explain to you after he comforts Madam Ni."

Ming Le knew that Jin Fu was right, but when she thought of Ni Zhan turning around and leaving without hesitation, her heart ached.

Ming Le nodded and entered the palace.

In the imperial study, Lu Ze held Ming Le's hand and taught her to write stroke by stroke, "This is your name, Ming Le."

"Ming Le." Ming Le read her name, copying it stroke by stroke, her eyes focused and serious.

Lu Ze accompanied her for a while, walked out of the imperial study, and Jin Fu told Lu Ze everything that happened in the morning.

Lu Ze's eyes sank slightly, especially when Jin Fu said that Ming Le was troubled by the Ni family and only had red eyes but did not cry, but was made to cry by Ni Zhan's words, he wanted to kill the Ni family.

But, not now.

Ming Le would be sad if he touched the Ni family now.

Lu Ze sighed, told Jin Fu to stay with Ming Le, and returned to Ming Le.

Lu Ze took a piece of cake to Ming Le, "You have been practicing for half an hour, take a break and continue."

"Yeah." Ming Le reluctantly put down the brush, sat on the chair, and ate the cake in small bites.

"Mingle, do you like listening to stories?"

"Yes?" Mingle nodded, "Yes, I like listening to people talking the most."

"Can I tell you one?"

"Yes." Mingle came to Lu Ze obediently, and Lu Ze's gentle voice flowed slowly like spring water. Once "Peony Pavilion" was performed, it was like a dream, and it was hard to control the love.

After a long time, Mingle sobbed softly and asked, "Why did Du Liniang die like this? Will the King of Hell let her resurrect?"

"Love comes from nowhere, and it goes on forever. The living can die, and the dead can live. Those who can't die with the living, and can't be resurrected after death, are not the ultimate love."

Lu Ze asked, "Mingle, do you think Du Liniang will be resurrected?"

"Yes! Definitely!" Mingle nodded vigorously.

"Mingle will do what he says he will do." Lu Ze looked at the sky and wiped her tear-stained face with a handkerchief. "It's getting late. Let's stop here today. I'll tell you the rest of the story tomorrow. How about that?"

"But..."

Mingle looked at the sky. It was indeed a little late. It was time for lunch.

She was a little afraid to go back to the Ni family. She would have to face so many people. Ah Zhan also blamed her.

"It's boring to listen to the story all at once." Lu Ze smiled dotingly. "Tomorrow morning, come early. It's boring for me to go to court alone. If Mingle accompanies me, boredom will become more interesting."

"Yeah." Mingle nodded obediently. "I will definitely come early tomorrow to accompany my brother."

When Mingle returned to the Ni Mansion, he waited for a long time, but did not wait for the news of the meal. Jin Xi asked the imperial chef brought from the palace to cook a few hot dishes in the small kitchen.

Mingle was eating when Ni Zhan walked in.

When Mingle saw him, his brows furrowed deeper and his expression became more serious.

Ni Zhan saw the exquisite dishes in front of Mingle and sat down in silence.

Now, how can mother eat because Mingle is still sick?

After thinking it over, Ni Zhan said, "Mingle, I know there must be a misunderstanding between you and mother, but Jinfu made mother sick and beat the third brother's wife. It's not right. Now mother is still sick, and as children, we can't be unfilial to mother. I just begged mother for a long time, and mother agreed that as long as you drive Jinfu away, kneel down to serve her tea and admit your mistakes and promise to help the third brother get an official position, she will forgive you."

Mingle's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, "A Zhan, why don't you believe me? Mother is really not sick, she is lying to you. They are all lying to you."

"I know you have been wronged, but mother is mother after all, and we are children, so we can only be filial to her."

Mingle bit her lip and didn't speak. She is also a dignified person.

She really wanted to believe that A Zhan believed her, but she could see it now.

A Zhan's eyes only wanted to keep things quiet and didn't believe it.

"Mingle, I begged my mother for this for a long time before she agreed to it. I have no other choice. On one hand, there is you, and on the other hand, there is my mother. You are both the people I love the most."

Chapter 89 The Emperor's Brother (4)

"Mingle!"

Seeing that Mingle still refused to give in, Ni Zhan became anxious, "Do you want to break up with me?" This work is provided by Si Tu Network for online reading

"I don't want to break up with you." Mingle finally spoke, and Ni Zhan was very happy with what he said. He said gently: "Mingle, I'm sorry for wronging you this time. I will definitely treat you twice as well in the future."

"I..." Mingle wanted to say that she did not agree to serve tea and admit her mistake, but Ni Zhan did not give her a chance to speak.

At this time, Jin Fu's voice suddenly came from outside the house, "Princess, the second young master Ni wants to whip Bailiu."

What!

Mingle followed Jin Fu to the stable in a panic. Jin Xi pulled Bailiu's reins and confronted Ni Gong.

Mingle ran to Jinxi and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jinxi was waiting for Ni Gong with a frown on his face, "Princess, the second young master Ni wanted to ride Bailiu, but Bailiu refused and threw him off the horse. He then had Bailiu captured, tied up, and beaten with an iron whip."

Ni Gong also said angrily, "Princess, beasts won't obey unless they are beaten, not to mention that Bailiu has thrown me off the horse six times in a row. Please let me deal with it myself."

"How can you beat Bailiu?" Mingle protected Bailiu, "If it doesn't let you ride, why don't you just not ride it?"

"Second brother, apologize to the princess." Ni Zhan, who came with him, kept winking at Ni Gong. Unexpectedly, Ni Gong was so angry that he didn't understand and said directly, "Princess, since you have given Bailiu to me, it is mine. I can do whatever I want with it?"

Mingle was shocked, "When did I give Bailiu to you?"

Ni Gong looked at Ni Zhan, "Brother?"

Ni Zhan lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Mingle.

Mingle finally understood at this time. She asked in a trembling voice, "A Zhan, did you give Bailiu to someone else?"

"Mingle, listen to me, my second brother is about to set out to suppress bandits, and I thought Bailiu would be safer with him." Ni Zhan explained in a panic.

"How could you give Bailiu away?" Mingle turned towards him sadly, "I thought you needed Bailiu, so I agreed to let it accompany you! How could you lie to me?"

"Mingle, I don't want you and my second brother to be unhappy! I'm doing this for your own good."

"You lied to me." Mingle protected Bailiu with red eyes, "Bailiu is given to me by my royal brother, not to anyone else."

Seeing that Mingle was wary of him in his eyes, Ni Zhan's heart ached and he wanted to go forward and hug Mingle, but Mingle just stubbornly held Bailiu and looked at him vigilantly.

Ni Zhan was upset, "Okay, Bailiu is yours, I won't give it to anyone, okay? Mingle, don't look at me like that..."

Wait!

"Sister-in-law, are your eyes healed?" Ni Gong suddenly asked in shock.

Ni Zhan looked at Mingle in horror.

"Yes, it's healed, is the Prince Consort disappointed?" Jin Xi mocked.

Jin Fu also said coldly: "Prince Consort, you are the closest person to the princess, you are a close couple, and you still need others to remind your wife if her eyes are healed?"

"Mingle..."

"Princess, Bailiu was injured, let's take it for treatment?"

Jin Fu pulled Mingle away forcefully. The princess was too soft-hearted. She was afraid that Ni Zhan would say a few more words, and the princess would soften again.

Ni Zhan stood there in a daze, watching Mingle's back as he left, with a bitter face.

When did Mingle recover?

Why did she hide her eyes from him?

Doesn't Mingle believe him?
