An ugly girl starts off, then becomes a beauty

Nie Ce finally came back that day, but he still did not go into the bedroom. He went straight to the east wing to sleep.

Sang Ling did not stay in the main room, nor did he go over to chat with Old Madam Cheng. Instead, he led Wei Chu to stand on the corridor. After the lights in the east wing were turned off and the servants who were coming and going in the garden gradually dispersed, he quietly returned to his bedroom.

It rained for a while at the beginning of the Hai hour, and the bright moonlight reappeared. Wei Chu pursed his lips slightly and stayed in the house for a while, not daring to say much. He came out at three quarters after the Hai hour and closed the wooden doors on both sides.

After a while, I heard a few clear slapping sounds coming from inside.

She turned around reluctantly and looked up at the silver moon in the sky.

……

It had been raining for days, but it finally cleared up yesterday. The moon was bright at night, and it was as bright as day. The whole city of Chang'an was shrouded in silver.

"I told you that today would be another sunny day." Cai was the first to come to the Hall of Disputes to pay her respects. When she met Shen, she rushed over and chatted with her for a while.

"I can't go out. There are a lot of things to do in the farm in the early spring. It's hard to have free time." Shen's complaints were mixed with a bit of pride. Even if the reality is hard and tiring, the appearance must be good.

"You are a very busy person now, and you rarely come to the East Palace. You don't even ask Ah Fei to come over to play." Cai raised her eyebrows, "Our Ah Zhu has recovered from his illness, so ask the two brothers to play together."

Although they were brothers, Nie Fei was at least a normal child. Nie Chen couldn't even speak a complete sentence, and Cai loved him so much that even the slightest movement would cause her to have countless suspicions. How could Shen not know her? She smiled politely, "He's already eight years old this year. I heard that the Zhi family has set up a child room."

As soon as she started to speak, Cai's face turned cold.

Everyone knows that Nie Yu is stupid, let alone going to Shangzhi's house, he can't even go to the family school. Shen changed her tone and said, "It's also a place for playing and fighting. After all, they are still children. It would be good for the two brothers to go together and see the new place later."

When Cai heard this, her face became more cheerful. She cleared her throat and started to act cool again. "The Zhi family is an old family. They have only become famous in the past few years. Have they produced any talented people in the past two years? Xuanwen is also a martial artist. He didn't learn any skills from the Zhi family."

Going further back, it means that Nie Guang has really learned something. Shen pondered for a while and couldn't help but glance at her eldest son beside her. Before she could express her regret, someone else came to the hall.

Today is a court meeting day, and all the male officials have gone into the palace. Only a few female relatives and Nie Chengyong and Nie Guang are here.

As soon as Madam Zhaoyu entered, Cai and Shen stopped talking. Then the fourth roommate and his wife came in. After a while, Nie Ce's wife finally came in. - Shen was not happy with this family and closed her eyes. If they wanted to play tricks, Wu Xiulian was not her opponent, let alone such a little girl. The girl from the Sang family had to thank Tianyi for the fact that there were so many things going on, so she had no time to deal with her.

The corners of Shen's mouth slightly raised, and when she opened her eyes again, the eyes of everyone in the room were focused on the girl from the Sang family.

She was holding a long-handled fan in her hand and didn't put it down until she sat down.

"What happened?" Mrs. Zhaoyu had just asked when Mr. Nie came out of the side room and glanced at everyone in the room as usual. Finally, his eyes stopped on Sang Ling's face.

Her appearance was too eye-catching, half of her face was swollen, and there were even bloodstains at the corners of her lips, which were filled from the flesh. This showed how strong the person who did it was.

As the second young master's wife and the marquis' wife, who in the two mansions dared to hit her? If someone else had done it, the news would have reached Grandpa Nie's ears immediately, without waiting until today. It could only be a matter of her own family. Wu Xiulian was a gentleman, and even if Sang had made a huge mistake, she would not have hit a girl's face.

Nie Ce - the old man thought out a conclusion, gripped his staff lightly, and simply stopped talking.

Instead of expressing your concern in front of everyone in the room, it would be better to wait for that boy to come back and ask him about it.

If the head of the family didn't bring it up, the subordinates wouldn't take the initiative to talk about it. The old man was still asking Shen about the arrangements in the fields, while the rest of the people had different looks. Zhang's eyes were glued to the face of the Sang family girl. Even if she had used all her strength yesterday, she wouldn't have hurt the Sang family girl so badly, right? Besides, there was no blood at the corner of her mouth after that palm strike. Zhang couldn't help but look at her own palm. At that time, she only used four fingers to slap the side of the Sang family girl's face. Why was half of her face swollen? In the past, she had hit people in the room, and no one was as seriously injured as the Sang family girl. Just as she was wondering, she noticed a sight from the corner of her eye and saw Nie Guang staring at her. The eyes were like a sharp claw, pawing directly at this head. Zhang was stunned, as if she was exposed on the spot, and she froze in place.

Such a reaction, except for her, could not be anyone else. Nie Guang clenched his teeth, never realizing that his annoyance would come so quickly, this had nothing to do with the Sang family girl, it was actually because Zhang Ling was too arrogant, she just put more attention on Sang Ling, and she had coaxed her seriously that day, but she could do such a vicious thing in the blink of an eye, if she really let her enter Ruyi Pavilion in the future, I am afraid that all the little stars would ask her to kill them, and she even pretended to be magnanimous and said that she would keep a woman for him - what Nie Guang hated most in his life was people who said one thing in front of him and another behind his back, and played tricks in front of him.

But within a quarter of an hour, the greetings in the hall were dispersed, and Madam Zhaoyu was naturally called in for questioning. Even though everyone had their own guesses, no one asked about the situation in front of Sang Ling. Most of the Cai and Shen families were there to watch the fun. Except for Nie Guang and Zhang, everyone else thought that it was Nie Ce who beat him.

After the court session ended at 9:00 pm, Ying Bushi was already waiting outside the palace gate and passed on the news that Ma Xing brought from the Marquis' Mansion to the Marquis.

"They said the left side of his face was bigger than the rest of his face. The grandfather asked the eldest lady to question her, but there's no news about who hit him." Ying Buzhi scratched the back of his head, still confused.

Nie Ce had no time to guess and immediately jumped on his horse.

As soon as he entered the mansion, the Gossip Hall received the news. As soon as the young general lifted the curtain and stepped into the gate of Wuyuan, he was invited away by the boy beside Master Nie.
