Chapter 125 Biological Father, Maid Dongmei

Jiang Ning followed Butler Ma in the mansion for about half an hour before arriving at the study.

The study was in the southwest corner of the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was very quiet, and there were plum blossoms planted outside.

A young man who looked like a guard was guarding the eaves outside the study. When he saw Butler Ma hurriedly approaching, he stopped him and said, "My lord is busy. Uncle Ma, what can I do for you?"

The young man frowned when he saw the blood on Butler Ma's clothes and forehead, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"Jin Yao, I have something very important to tell the Lord. Please go and report it."

Jiang Ning could see that Butler Ma was somewhat polite to this man named Jin Yao. It seemed that this man should be a confidant of Nangong Ya, and Butler Ma was only responsible for managing the affairs of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, similar to one being a "personal secretary" and the other being a "Director of Logistics Department".

Jin Yao nodded and said, "Okay, wait a moment." Then he pushed the door and went in.

After a while, the door opened, and Jin Yao made a "please" gesture to Butler Ma.

Butler Ma bowed to him and walked into the house.

Jiang Ning followed him in, and smelled a faint scent of incense in the room at the door. Charcoal was still burning in the room, and it was warm.

After entering the house, Jiang Ning finally saw the legendary "Prime Minister Nangong", the father of this body.

Nangong Ya, who was sitting behind the desk, was dressed in a dark grey uniform. He looked to be about fifty years old, with a stern and resolute face. He had been in a high position for many years, which gave him an oppressive aura.

Jiang Ning looked at her father carefully, and then found that she looked quite like him. She inherited almost all of his facial features, but the shape of her face was different.

Alas, he is her biological father.

Jiang Ning felt a little complicated. She was an abandoned baby in her previous life. She was first sent to an orphanage, and then was taken away by the organization when she was about five years old. She never knew who her parents were.

Sometimes she was also curious about why the people who gave birth to her abandoned her. She was obviously a healthy baby without any disabilities or diseases. After thinking about it, Jiang Ning guessed that it might be because her biological parents could not afford to raise her.

She never thought that she would live again, and this life with a father and a mother, gave her an opportunity to fill the blank image of parents in her mind. Although she did not have any expectations for family affection, Nangong Ya and Lan Xu satisfied her curiosity.

Nangong Ya was reading a piece of letter in her hand. When she saw Butler Ma come in, she moved her eyes away from the paper and looked up at him. Who knew that what she saw was a large and scary bloodstain. She didn't know how serious the wound under his clothes was. Even his forehead was broken, and the blood all over his forehead looked a little scary under the dim candlelight.

"Old Ma, where did you get all these injuries?"

Nangong Ya looked at Butler Ma and asked concernedly. Just now Jin Yao came in and said that he had something important to report, and it seemed to be related to these injuries.

Butler Ma walked to the desk and knelt down with a thump: "Sir, I deserve to die! The third young lady didn't elope with someone, she was sold as a maid!"

"What did you say?"

Nangong Ya stood up suddenly. These words were like a bolt from the blue to him, and he suspected that he had heard wrongly.

Butler Ma leaned down and touched the ground with his forehead: "Last year, on Madam's birthday, Prince Rui came to congratulate her. After drinking, he flirted with the third lady and was bumped into by the second lady. The second lady thought that the third lady had deliberately seduced her and held a grudge. After the master went to inspect Jiangnan, she kidnapped the third lady to a house in the suburbs of Beijing, and then..."

Butler Ma paused here. He didn't know if Nangong Ya would be so angry that he would ask Jin Yao to come in and kill him on the spot after he told him about those torture methods.

"And then what?"

Nangong Ya asked in a cold voice, trying his best to calm his mind, but his trembling voice still betrayed him.

Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Nangong Ya's hands clasped on the edge of the table, his knuckles white from the force, his chest rising and falling, and his angry eyes.

He really didn't know.

No need to kill the father, a happy event.

But that so-called King Rui really deserves to die!

Jiang Ning sat in front of the bamboo house, propping up her chin and heard Butler Ma stammering and continuing: "Second Miss, Second Miss, she, she..."

"Speak!" Nangong Ya shouted impatiently.

"Second Miss broke Third Miss's hands and feet, burned her face with a branding iron, and tried to feed her a mute drug... In the end, I found a human seller, pretending to be a maid who made a mistake, and sold her outside the capital..."

Nangong Ya's face was terribly gloomy. Butler Ma was waiting for the punishment in fear. After a while, he heard him shouting outside the door: "Jin Yao, come in!"

The person outside the door responded, entered the house, stood respectfully with his hands down, waiting for orders.

"Go and call Dongmei, don't alarm anyone." Nangong Ya ordered seriously.

Jin Yao replied "Yes" and turned to walk out.

Jiang Ning raised her eyebrows slightly, and she looked at this father with a new respect.

Even when he was furious, he could remain rational. He did not believe the one-sided words of housekeeper Ma, but quickly calmed down and thought of confronting someone. When encountering something, he should distinguish the truth from the false first, and then make a decision.

He is worthy of being the prime minister. Jiang Ning thought.

This is also good, she also wanted to meet that "Dongmei" and recognize her face, so as not to look for her like a headless fly in the future. After a

while, Jiang Ning heard two footsteps outside the house, and then a male voice said, "Come in." Then the door opened, and a woman who looked like a maid walked in.

Dongmei first saw the butler Ma kneeling on the ground. She was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on. When she walked to the desk, she lowered her head and called Nangong Ya, "Sir."

Nangong Ya squinted his eyes and looked at the little maid. His eyes were so sharp that people dared not look directly at him. Dongmei lowered her head unconsciously, her heart beating.

"In which year did you enter the mansion?" Nangong Ya asked in a tone as gentle as possible.

"My lord, it was the summer of the eleventh year of Chongming."

"Oh, it's been more than two years since I came in."

Nangong Ya nodded. He seemed to remember that Nangong Ling's maid left the mansion and got married, so she found a new little maid for her.

"Have you been following the third lady since you entered the mansion?" Nangong Ya asked again.

"My Lord, yes."

Nangong Ya exhaled slowly, his voice a little deeper: "You said before that when I was in Jiangnan, the third lady met a traveler, fell in love with him, and finally eloped with him. Now tell me the details."

Jiang Ning obviously saw Dongmei's body stiffen.

"My lord, I don't know much..." Dongmei's voice became much softer.

"Even if I don't know much, I know something, right? You are her personal maid. Even if what you said is true, the Third Miss always sent you away when she had a tryst with that man, then you probably know when they met and got to know each other, right?" Nangong Ya stared at Dongmei closely, his eyes dark and hard to read.

"My Lord, they met a few days after you went to Jiangnan."

"Where did you meet them?"

"In Xianyi Pavilion, I met him when I accompanied the third young lady to buy pearl flowers. The third young lady fell in love with him at first sight and flirted with him at that time. After she came back, she often ran out to meet him secretly in the middle of the night and asked me not to tell anyone else..."

Jiang Ning was only a few feet away from Dongmei when she said this, and she could see her expression clearly.

Dongmei is lying!

The right hemisphere of the human brain is mainly responsible for imagination and creation, so when people make up lies, their eyes will look to the upper right; and when people recall real memories, their eyes will look to the upper left.

People who have not been trained will not realize this. Dongmei was looking to the upper right just now.

In addition, the frequency of blinking can also be used as a basis for judging whether a person is lying. If the other party must process a lot of information in the brain, such as making up a lie, then the speed and frequency of his blinking will generally increase.

In just a few sentences, Jiang Ning counted and found that Dongmei blinked eleven times!
