Chapter 20 Li's Self-inflicted Suffering
There is nothing behind it.
Li subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his momentum became weaker, and he glared at Ning Ying and said, "What are you looking at?"
Ning Ying frowned, raised her hand and made a ban on voice gesture, pressed her voice to Li Bangfujin, and said softly: "Did Fangfujin hear it?"
Li suddenly felt a little chill on his back, and his hands in his sleeves were clenched, but his face was barely calm: "Broad day, don't talk nonsense! Don't pretend to be a ghost here!
Ning Ying suddenly trembled and raised her hand, pointed straight behind Li Fangfujin, with an extremely fearful expression on her face, and said in a trembling voice: "She has gone!"
The maids around all changed their faces. The timid ones were already shaking their calves and kept moving closer to their companions.
Li also turned pale and turned around and glanced behind him. He had no such a arrogant look as before. He pulled a maid in front of him and asked Ning Ying in a trembling voice: "What 'she'? Ning Gege, what did you see?"
Ning Ying looked scared and took a few steps back, hid beside Qingyang, then reached out to Li and gestured: "A woman I have never seen before, looks sick and wilted, with disheveled hair..."
At this moment, Xiaowonton suddenly said "Wang!" at Li.
Ning Ying suddenly realized her mind and nodded, "I know! The concubine really wronged the little wonton - where is the little wonton barking at you? It is calling at the 'people' behind you!"
Ning Ying has heard many folk legends, which say that dogs can see unclean things.
Especially now that it is still in the Qing Dynasty, no one doubts about this statement.
As soon as she threw out this sentence, a timid maid behind Li Fangfujin couldn't help it and was so scared that she screamed in shock.
It would be fine if the maid didn't call her. As soon as she screamed, everyone was so shocked that they retreated to both sides and did not dare to approach Li Bang Fujin.
In extreme fear, Li Fangxian suddenly thought of the concubine Chen, who was secretly wielded and used medicine to secretly make her sick bed for a long time and had to leave her house to recuperate and recover, and was indirectly killed.
Yes! Ning Gege has never met Chen! No wonder Ning Gege just said, "A woman I have never met before, looks sick and depressed."
Also, this dog...
Didn’t I always hear that Chen had a puppy and was abandoned in the mansion and picked it up by Ning Gege?
It seems that the dog kept barking here because he saw its old owner.
The causes and consequences were connected together, and Li's lips lost their blood color, and he felt as if there was something behind him.
She couldn't stand steadily, and she could still care about Ning Ying. She just barely raised her hand to Shu Lei, and said with a look of no expression: "Help me go back..."
Shu Lei was also scared and came forward to support Li with his hands. Seeing that his wife's legs were too weak to walk, she barely calmed down and shouted to the servants around her: "Can't come up and help!"
Just at this moment, Xiaowonton accidentally "Wang!" and shouted in the direction of Li.
Li's back chills and his feet stagger, almost so scared that he sat on the ground.
...
After we were greeted by the concubine from Fujin and returned to the residence, Qingyang was very worried and said all the way: "Prince, when we go back, we will worship the gods. We will encounter unclean things, it is not a joke!"
Ning Ying originally wanted to tell her that she was just talking nonsense and just acted in a play, but who made Li do things so amazing?
But then I thought about it, it would be better to have less than more things - if Qingyang knew the truth and was accidentally caught up with someone, it would be bad.
After thinking about this, Ning Ying didn't say anything, but just comforted her: "It doesn't matter, there is a cause for injustice and a debtor - we didn't do anything wrong, and we won't come to us if we have anything."
Qingyang listened to the point of being reasonable, felt relieved and nodded.
Ning Ying picked up a piece of pastry and brought it to her mouth to eat. While chewing, she thought, but fortunately she heard about her concubine Miss Chen.
In fact, she was not sure whether Miss Chen's long-term illness did not heal and died of illness at home had anything to do with Li Bang's concubine.
But the Fourth Prince just came to her for dinner, and Li was so arrogant. It is conceivable that the concubine, Miss Chen, went to play chess for several nights with the Fourth Prince. I wonder what Li had long hated him for.
I'm afraid I have the heart to peel Chen's skin and bones.
That's why Ning Ying boldly made an assumption - just saying that the woman was "sick and wilted".
Unexpectedly, he hit the target with one blow, and Li was guilty of being a thief and was frightened to the point of defeat.
It seems that it really corresponds to the old saying: People are doing it, God is watching; it is not that they do not repay, but the time has not come.
...
Gossip is always spread quickly.
After only two days, the concubine had already known this. She also heard that Li Fang's concubine was so scared that she did not dare to go out day and night. She even dared to go out of the yard of her own residence. She locked her in the tent every day and pulled a room of maids to accompany her, with the doors and windows close, and worshiped God and Buddha.
There was also a secret message among the slaves: When someone walked past the yard of the concubine, he vaguely smelled the smell of burning paper money.
The concubine went to see Li Bang several times, but every time they were caught by the Li family.
After a few times, the concubine was not very happy to go to her.
In the past two days, the Fourth Prince has never shown his face in the backyard and seems to be very busy.
On weekdays, I had no choice but to go to Li Fangfujin to please the princess, and the number of concubines suddenly decreased - in this era, everyone was afraid of provoking unclean things.
The concubines didn't have to go to Li Bang Fujin to curry favor with him, and they were not favored, so they immediately became idle.
In addition to paying respects to his wife, Ulanara, he likes to come to Ning Ying.
Ning Gege is cared for by the kitchen and receives more meals than others. Sometimes there are some delicious pastries and fruits that only Fujin can have.
In addition, Ning Ge Ge is favored by the Fourth Prince and is kind to others. Who doesn’t like to get close to her?
At noon on the third day, Ning Ying had just been served and finished lunch. When her concubine Miss Zhao sent her an embroidered dog dress for Xiaowonton. Although it was not as good as the one given by the Fourth Master, it had mandarin ducks playing in the water embroidered on it.
Concubine Zhao smiled all over her face, and she smiled like a flower, and she wished Ning Ge Ge as soon as possible.
As soon as she left, Su Peisheng came. As soon as she entered the door, she informed her with a red face that the Fourth Master would pick up Ning Gege to the front yard in the evening and ask Ning Gege to prepare quickly.
The servants in the room were listening to Eunuch Su saying this, and they all were so happy that they couldn't even close their mouths.
Finally, I waited for this day!
According to the rules, Ning Ying was served by the servants to bathe, incense, and change clothes - this was a busy day.
