The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

The women immediately picked up Dong Ning, who was trembling all over, dragged her to the yard, took off her pants, and slapped her with military sticks.

Princess Pingnan was in a bad mood as she listened to the commotion outside. What kind of family was the Xie family? Their maid actually harmed their own young lady. What was this?

After a while, the movement outside stopped. Princess Pingnan raised her head in confusion: "What's wrong?"

A woman hurriedly came in and reported, "Princess, that Dong Ning bit her tongue and committed suicide."

Bite your tongue and kill yourself? ! Princess Pingnan was extremely surprised. Dong Ning's legs were clearly weak from fear just now, but she actually had the courage to bite her tongue and commit suicide?

Ye Yuxiao was a little confused; "Where did Dong Ning get the strength to bite her tongue and kill herself?" Although scenes of biting her tongue and committing suicide are common in martial arts novels, in fact it is a physical job, and it is impossible to do it without a certain amount of strength.

The woman replied: "Before the slaves hit her with the military stick, she quietly bit her tongue with her teeth. When we hit her with the military stick, she bit off her tongue with the help of this force." "

So that's it. Ye Yuxiao nodded.

"It is not a pity to die for a maid like this who has harmed her own young lady." Princess Pingnan did not pity Dong Ning at all and said bitterly.

Han didn't pity Dong Ning, but was a little worried: "The maid hasn't explained why she wanted to harm Qing Ling. Now that she's dead, our eyes are darkened and we don't know anything."

Jiang asked Feng: "Mrs. Xie, this Dong Ning comes from your Xie family. You must know her very well. Why don't you think about it carefully? Why did she want to murder my future grandson?"

"I'm not a roundworm in her belly. How do I know what she is thinking?" Feng Shihei said with a stern face, "Even if you want to ask, you should ask Qing Ling. This is her maid!"

Is this starting to shirk responsibility? Who doesn't know that Xie Qingling had a hard time at her parents' house, and it's unclear who put this dowry maid in her room. Jiang secretly cursed Feng, but still went to the inner room in person to ask Xie Qingling about Dong Ning's situation.

However, Xie Qingling's condition was very bad at the moment, and she was feeling groggy. Jiang couldn't bear to ask any more questions, so she turned around and came out again.

Ye Yuxiao sat on the chair, rubbed her waist, held her head, thought for a moment, and said: "That maid Dong Ning just wanted us to be unable to find out anything, so she bit her tongue and committed suicide, right? But her plan I’m afraid it’s a wrong call. Just because she’s dead doesn’t mean the clues are gone. There are many places to investigate.”

"Xiaoxiao, what are your ideas?" Princess Pingnan asked immediately.

Ye Yuxiao recalled the suspenseful crime-solving TV dramas he had watched before and said, "I have read several story books. Those story books all said that if you want to find clues, you have to start from the details. For example, Dong Ningjia in An Where did the saffron in the fetal medicine come from? Where did those crab-filled snacks come from?"

Princess Pingnan nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "You are right, saffron is not cheap. As a maid, she can't afford it even if she saves three years of monthly money. And those snacks can only be made by Jiangnan cooks, not It’s available on the market. Check it, check it now, check it immediately, if we don’t get to the bottom of this matter today, no one will be able to leave!”

Her last words were obviously meant for Feng and Xie Ziyan.

But at this time, Feng no longer had the courage to reply. Because no matter what Dong Ning's motives were, she was undoubtedly the real culprit who murdered the heirs of Prince Pingnan. And she, the real culprit, was born in the Xie family. No matter what, the Xie family could not escape the blame.

If Dong Ning had lived in Pingnan Palace for many years, she could still shirk one or two things. However, Dong Ning followed Xie Qingling to Pingnan Palace for only two months in total. Now that she has done such evil things, everyone will do it. It was said that the Xie family did not teach their maids well.

At this moment, she really hoped that Dong Ning was instigated by an outsider, so that the Xie family could shirk some of their responsibility.

The servants of Prince Pingnan's Mansion, following Princess Pingnan's words just now, divided their troops into two groups, one to inspect saffron and the other to inspect Jiangnan snacks.

While they were searching for clues, Princess Pingnan was not idle either. She ordered someone to bring Baijin over and asked her if she knew why Dong Ning wanted to harm Xie Qingling. If she didn't report the knowledge, she would be beaten again immediately. Army stick.

Baijin had been frightened just now, but now she was frightened by Princess Pingnan, and she immediately said: "I don't know why sister Dong Ning wanted to harm the second young lady, but she vaguely mentioned to me that her biological sister, not long ago The second master fell in love with her and became his concubine. She said that if she didn't obey, her sister's life would definitely not be easy. "

This was a bit unclear. Princess Pingnan thought for a while before saying: "The second master you are talking about is the father of Miss Xie Er?"

Baijin nodded.

So according to what she just said, it was Grandpa Xie who instigated Dong Ning to do this? But this doesn't make sense. Not to mention that Mr. Xie is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is impossible to direct Dong Ning to do things from thousands of miles away. Even if he was in the capital, as the current head of the Xie family, he would only hope that Xie Qingling would give birth to an heir as soon as possible and stabilize the marriage relationship between Pingnan Palace and the Xie family. How could he harm the child in her belly?

Princess Pingnan was thinking about it, and an idea suddenly flashed through her mind, but there was no evidence at this time, so she didn't say it immediately.

However, not long after, before the sun went down, the slaves brought back evidence that confirmed her suspicion-saffron and crab-filled Jiangnan snacks were all provided to Dong Ning by a maid named Shi Cui. of. And this Shi Cui is the daughter of Miss Xie’s wet nurse Xie Ziyan.

It is indeed Xie Ziyan! Princess Pingnan was furious: "Second Miss Xie, what else do you have to say?!"

Xie Ziyan denied it flatly: "Princess, you can't accuse me just because Shi Cui is my wet nurse's daughter. Shi Cui is not even my maid. How can I know what she has done?"

"Okay, you can continue to be tough. Anyway, our Pingnan Palace has never been a family that follows the rules." Princess Pingnan said, and asked the maid in front of her, "Where is Shi Cui? You didn't just check the clues. Bring me the person back, okay?"

"Bring it, bring it." The maid kept replying and shouted outside, and then two women came in from the outside escorting a little maid.

They actually brought Shi Cui directly to Prince Pingnan's Mansion? ! This is a member of their Xie family! Xie Ziyan was shocked and grabbed Feng's sleeve: "Grandma, look at their arrogant behavior! They are not from the government, how can they be qualified to hire people from our Xie family?!"
